Call me Alpha

Chapter 25

Aiden's POV

The view of Ashira on her knees, crying out loud, breaks my heart. I wanted to touch her, to embrace her, give her my warmth and comfort her but I couldn't.

I am mad. I hate that she kept this from me when she had every chance to tell me.

I can't guarantee I won't be outraged about it if she does confess about being a stealer but at least I won't be dubious with her motive.

A stealer, hiding inside her shell, was my mate. A stealer.

On what odds would I not think she's deceiving me? I'll be a fool if I'll believe that she's not lying. A stealer was a stealer. They had the ability to deceive any wolf. She had that ability.

I don't know what to do yet. My mind was clouded by anger and pained by her betrayal. I can't think straight for a resolve or what my next action would be.

She can be my true mate and she can be not. How would I know what to do?

For now, I'll keep her close. She wanted to run away from me and I won't like that, I know. It's better to lock her up than to lose her, that's what I think. At least until I have a solution for this, I'll decide for what's best. However, I was also confused about what I wanted from her. One thing was clear that I don't want her far. Away from me.

Nick quickly walked to me as soon as I went downstairs.

"How did it go?"

Great. The least I'd want to hear was his questions yet he's eager to go for it.

I ignored him and sat down on the couch. He looked upstairs like he's waiting for my mate to come down and I was immediately pissed by it.

"Go fucking home." I hissed at him.

"What happened? Did you talk to her?"

I sighed. Of course, he wouldn't understand that I'd want to be alone right now.

I just nodded my reply.

"And? What did she say? Is she a stealer?"

I closed my eyes tight. A low growl was coming from my chest.

"She is."

He felt silent for a moment. I leaned on the backrest and looked up. Why me for all people will encounter this kind of situation? Everything was falling into place for me. But why this? In which I'd like the least was to have a mate and yet I had one. And a stealer!

What should I do, Moon Goddess? Is she mine?

A few thuds outside made me look at the door. Wow. Here comes another defector.

My body trembled quickly from anger. Just in time, Gamma. Just in fucking perfect time.

I waited for Seth to enter and when he did, I moved with inhuman speed to him.

"Aiden!" Nick shouted.

Seth did not even try to look me in the eyes when he saw me in front of him. The bastard know what his fault was and that anger me even more. I grabbed his neck and held him up, his feet floating on the floor. He winced as he gasped for air, I only gripped his neck tighter.

"Aiden!" Nick went to us and try to pull my hand away from strangling Seth but I did not budge a bit. Instead, I pushed Nick away with my other hand, causing him to grunt as he hit his back on the wall.

I growled at Seth. My eyes are deep red and my Alpha was taking over.

"You got nerves to come here!"

He was mumbling something but he can't. His face was turning blue and I decided to give him a blow as I let his neck go. My fist hit his face hard than I can feel it in my knuckles.
