Call me Alpha

Chapter 25: Bonds pull

Ashira's POV

I never thought of a way out once I face the worst, that made me regret to just wait for it and try to come up with a resolve. Because right now, I have none.

'Our mate is an idiot! Idiot! Idiot!' my wolf cries and I flinched from the pain she is experiencing right now.

'He is. However, we're not normal so we have to deal with him.'

'I don't want to lose my mate! I want him!'

I sighed. Talking with my wolf won't do me good right now. She's so head over heels of the idea of having a mate, of Aiden. I can't blame her, she must be savoring thrice the pleasure and happiness I felt around Aiden. And right now, she's suffering thrice the pain.

I walked around the room. It's been hours after Aiden left me here and I had wild thoughts of escape but I couldn't.

If I escape right now, it's like pleading guilty. That's what my pride is telling me. I may not know how to prove my innocence yet but I won't give them the pleasure of judging me through my actions. So even if I'd like to just go back to Regal, I'm deciding to stay.

For now.

If anything goes wrong and my life will be at stake then I will do everything I can to break out.

My phone rang. Wow. Aiden didn't bother confiscating my phone. So what? Is this a lock-up with privilege?

Letting me have my phone gives me a glint of hope. If he thinks I meant harm, won't he try and take away any means of communication I might have? It seems to me that he trusts me.

Still.

I run to my phone but the ring had ended before I could read each it.

I looked at my screen and Seth's name was on it. Quickly, I redialed his number and he immediately answered.

"How are you? Did he hurt you?" He said worriedly.

I sighed upon hearing his voice. I figured Seth was already informed of what had happened. Nick must have told him. It's so good to have someone stood for me. I mean, I never saw a bit of doubt from Seth before. At least someone's rational about this.

"A little. How did you know?" I sat on my bed, hugging a pillow tight between my legs.

"I'm at the ancestral now."

I looked around, trying to sense his presence but failed. Uh, wolf proof.

"Do you know how they found out?" I only knew Nick came and Aiden changed after.

"Nick heard it from Titus, Ash. He rats you out."

I hissed. That bastard! After having his position back to him, he quickly grabbed his knife and stabbed me in the back! Now I know every respect-acceptance gesture he did is just a facade.

I growled then I heard Seth sighed. "I know, Ash. We shouldn't have trusted him."

I started blocking my wolf when she repeatedly curses and swears she'll kill Titus. His whimpers are making me tremble as she tries to take over and I can't let her.

I changed the topic before I lose control of my wolf.

"I need you to help me get out, Seth. I'm not gonna run but I don't want to be inside this room any longer." I almost hissed. I'm not gonna escape. But the feeling that I can stroll inside the ancestral is better than having the four corners of Aiden's room, full of Aiden's scent. This is torture.

When I heard him sigh on the other line, I knew what his answer would be.

"I can't. Aiden almost killed me. He's aware that I knew you were a stealer and about what I did to cover it."
