Call me Alpha

Chapter 14: Exposè

Everything happened so fast. Seth runs upstairs with inhuman speed and barge into Ava's room.

I was about to follow after him when Aiden stopped me, he held my waist tight that I'm steadied in my feet. I looked up at his face and he shook his head twice.

"They're mates. He won't harm her." Aiden assures me.

I heard Ava's scream but not entirely from pain, pleasure is mixed in it. Seth must have claimed her the moment he came upon her. A faint scent of blood lingers in my nose, then I know I was right. Seth claimed Ava.

Aiden and I kept standing for minutes. Nick is now on the couch again, scrolling through his phone like nothing was happening. Aurea keeps preparing the table. I guess I'm the only one who is bothered by the sudden event.

"Does he have a mate?" I whispered to Aiden and nod my head towards Nick's direction.

Aiden chuckled and kissed my temple. "Luck is not yet on his side, baby." there's a mocking tone in his voice that made Nick narrowed his eyes on us.

"I can hear you." Nick snorted.

Aiden's chuckle raises as he looked at Nick who rolled his eyes at us.

"I don't need a mate yet. I'm too busy with you, darling." Nick said giving Aiden a wink that made Aiden growl. I laughed because of that.

"Hey, Seth!" Nick shouted while looking upstairs.
"Stop hiding under your mate's skirt! Don't waste the food prepared for you!"

I chuckled when I heard Seth's growl from upstairs.

I'm happy for Ava. My invitation helped her somehow. She found her mate because she stayed. She wouldn't need to wait another year to meet Seth.

"Let's eat first." Aiden whispered and pushed my lower back closer to the table. "Nick." he called.

He pulled a chair for me then he sat next to mine, placing a hand on my thigh.

Aiden's gesture always flutter my heart. Sometimes I think he's doing it unconsciously because it already seemed a part of him. Though he did it a few times to prove that I am his.

Suddenly, I remembered Lucy and what she's facing right now with her mate, Alpha Jacob. Aiden is good to me regardless of our first encounter and thinking that my best friend suffers from that guy troubles me.

"What's wrong?" Aiden asked, he probably sensed my feelings. Ugh, I always forgot how this mate bond works. I should be careful on what I'll feel or else I'll worry him.

I shook my head. "I just remembered something."

He examined me, almost waiting for me to add more words in my mouth.

I sighed and looked away. I'm not going to say anything but I recalled a thought.

"Uhm, a question." He raised an eyebrow to me, waiting for it. I saw Nick sat down on the chair in front of us. "Uh, how would one know if their mate is cheating on them?"

Aiden narrowed his eyes on me. Not following with the question.

It is Aurea who answered.

"A wolf will never cheat once it meet it's mate."

But Lucy said she feels it. Was that just an intuition? I opened my mouth to speak but Nick did before I can utter a word.

"Still possible though. For an Alpha." Nick shrugged, his focus is on his food.

Then it's true! Cheating can be sensed by it's mate! Lucy's mate is Alpha Jacob. He's an Alpha. I wonder why Alpha can cheat on their mates though the other wolves can't.
