Call me Alpha

Chapter 31: Journals

Ashira's POV

"Where'd he go?" Seth asked. I'm still seated on the bench garden and Aiden just left to pick the journals Nick was talking about.

"To Titus. Did you know that he's dead?"

Seth nodded and took a seat next to me. "Yeah. Aiden had planned to do that after finding out about you. Nick confirmed it today."

My stare went far and blank. I can't forget why Titus did what he'd done. I understand his pain for losing his mate. Though I had hoped he has other ways to have himself killed so I'll have a chance to confess about being a stealer myself.

Anyway, so far the situation has eased and I shouldn't bother with it.

"Are you two...good?" Seth asked hesitantly.

I nodded and turned my head to him with a tiny smile but my eyes are sure sparkling.

"Great." he sighed. "That's good news. I thought for a while that Aiden would prolong his rage. I did think he will forgive but not this fast." he grinned and leaned on the backrest.

"Me too. Though I still hope to find more answers to prove I'm his."

Seth nodded but didn't utter a word. I'm glad that Aiden accepts me now but I can't stop myself from wanting answers about myself and how can I prove I'm not a bad kind. Even though I can't see it's use now.

We decided to head inside when cool breeze of wind started gushing. Christmas has gone by but I did not felt it's essence because of the turn of events.

"And he grabbed my neck, choking the hell out of me before he throws me out of the house like I'm a cotton ball! He's heartless!"

Seth was telling me what Aiden did to him and I knew I shouldn't, but I chuckled.

"Yeah, right. And the mate is heartless, too." he rolled his eyes but grinned when my chuckles become laughter.

"I can't help it! Your expression is far from what the emotion should be!" I laughed and slapped him on his shoulder.

"Aw! Hey, I'm not a rock!"

"Ohh! I thought you're a cottonball!" I laughed hard when his jaw dropped and rolled his eyes with disbelief.

"Hope I'm not interrupting."

We both glanced at the door and Aiden stood there with a gloomy expression shadowing on his face.

Oh, boy. He looks so yummy. I know it's not what I should be thinking right now with that dark face he had but... He just screams perfection even in simple clothes.

He stands at the door and his golden-brown eyes were deep as his lips were formed in a flat line.

I can sense a feeling but not anger coming from him though it's somehow relevant to that.

Oh! Is he jealous?

But with Seth? That's odd! Seth have a mate!

Seth shifted his weight and I know he's adding distance with our already distant expense. I rolled my eyes upon realizing that Seth is being cautious and Aiden was -I assume- jealous.

None of us spoke and Aiden walked closer to us. Stopping right in front of me. He held out his hand and I looked at Seth, who's I think halted his breath, before reaching Aiden's palm.

"Go get the chest on my car." he ordered Seth as he pulled me up, encircling his arms on my waist after.

Seth stood up, almost quickly and Aiden put his other hand on my waist, making me face him.
