Call me Alpha (Aiden and Ashira) novel Chapter 52

Chapter 52: I will not wait

Aiden’s POV

‘Ashira! Are you alright? Did they hurt you?’

I know that’s a foolish question and I already knew the answer to that. Fuck. I still wanted to know how Elon harmed her with the thought of revenge. I’ll definitely do the same thing that that fucker did to my mate, ten folds.

‘W-Were fine. Aiden, didn’t you heard me? I’m pregnant! I have your pup in my womb right now!’

I felt her relief through our mate bond. The connection has come back, I can sense her presence within me. I can feel her emotions, her scent is only faint due to the distance but she’s there. I can feel her.

I sighed and smiled to myself. She’s so happy that she’s pregnant and I’m on the seventh heaven. Over the moon even, euphoric about having a child and starting a family with her. I feel like I just found the purpose of living.

Though this fucking situation is killing the mood, I can’t celebrate the same as she sounds.

‘I know, baby, I know.’

‘What? How did you know? You should see my belly bump! Oh, God. I never thought being pregnant would surprise me like this .’

I bit my lip, trying to suppress the smile forming on my lips from the sound of her euphoric mood. She’s so happy that she forgot the case she’s in. The danger she’s facing and that she’s in the enemy’s lair.

I sighed.

‘I want to see you now. So bad.’

I can feel that she was taken aback from my words and I cursed under my breath. I just ruined her moment. She is probably baffled and saddened by how my words meant the longing I feel inside.

‘ I-I’ll make sure both of you will be safe. I promise, I will come for you.’ I said and tried to revive her mood but I didn’t felt her emotion changed.

A huge sigh escaped my mouth.

I closed my eyes shut. ‘I will save you now’ is what I wanted to say and its frustrating that I can’t yet. My lips trembled and a low growl escaped my lips. My hand formed a fist and the white on my knuckles was visible.

Damn it.

I want to see it, too. I want to feel our child. I’m sure I will hear its pulse right on her belly.

If only she’s here.

And that Goddamn son of a bitch just took this moment from me. The moment to celebrate having a child with my loving mate.

This hit me so bad, I want to see how happy she is with her smile and her sparkling eyes. Right now, I’m sure she does.

‘Aiden. We’re fine. Please, focus your mind and don’t be distracted. I can feel your outrage from here.’

‘How can I focus when I know that you’re in danger? I will save you and I promise, I will kill that bastard.’

‘I trust you. I know you will come for me, baby.’

The way she said the last word is far from how we tease each other by that call sign. I felt her sincerity and it fueled my chest. She recharged my soul and only then did I found that my courage to save her was starting to crumble.

‘And you don’t need to worry. I don’t think Elon can harm me physically, though I’m not sure how long it will last.’

‘What do you mean?’

‘I kind of electrocuted him when he touched me. I think that’s the same time that the concealing potion’s effect has left my system. If I could do that again the next time he come here, he won’t get near me.’

I’m baffled from the news she said.

Electrocuted?

I snapped on my head and opened my eyes. I saw three pairs of eyes fixed on me, scared even. Even Zeke looked bothered though I can see that he’s trying to compose himself.

I sighed.

“I’m in the portal with Ashira, the potion must have worn out.” I explained. I forgot I have company inside the room.

Nick burst a sigh, not yet absorbing what I just said. When he does, his eyes grew large and he’s almost panicking.

“She’s alright. Elon just got aware of her pregnancy but she said something like she electrocuted him,” I looked at Zynia, hoping for an explanation. “How did she do that?”

Zynia stood up and put her palms together in front of her chest. Her eyes are full of glow, relieved of something.

“I’m not sure which power it came from but it could be her gift as a stealer or the pup inside her womb were trying to protect its mother.”

I nodded and turned my back on them. I need more time to talk with Ashira.

‘That’s good to hear, Ash. Tomorrow at dawn, we’ll attack Ravenous so until then, I hope you can protect yourself and our baby.’

‘Of course, Aiden. Don’t belittle me, I’m not weak.’

I laughed inwardly from her irritated tone.

That’s my girl.

I sniffed the air and sensed that Jacob just entered my territory followed by a mind-linked report from one of the guards.

I looked at Nick and it seems he got the report, too. He was already on his feet and nodded at me before I could command. At least an Alpha, Beta or Gamma needs to escort Jacob’s arrival as a formal respect.

When Nick walked out of the room, I went back to our mate portal. I also saw Zynia and Zeke followed Nick outside that left me alone inside the room.

‘I know you are strong, baby.’

‘I will protect this child, Aiden.’

I sighed and bit my lip upon her promise. I know the baby inside her womb will be fine just like Zynia had explained but it is Ashira that I care the most right now.

More than our child, to be honest.

I’m stopping myself on opening the worst that I’m afraid to happen aside from having a killed mate.

The stealing thing that Zynia said earlier. Should I disclose this to her? But… it would be better if she knew.

‘I don’t know if I should say this, I don’t want you to be afraid.’ I started.

A few minutes of silence and I start to worry.

‘Ashira? Are you okay? What’s happening there?’

‘No. I- Nothing is happening here. I was- I’m waiting for what you wanted to say.’

I sighed and pinched the bridge of my nose then running my hands over my head as I try to calm my ramming heart beat.

I thought Elon came for her again. I thought I broke contact with her mind again.

Damn it.

‘Listen, baby. Elon can’t do anything to our pup. Killing the life inside your womb right now is beyond possible-’

‘Really? God, Aiden! That’s great news! Did Zynia said that? We have nothing to worry about-’

‘Ashira, please listen to me. Our child will be fine. But we can’t have our guards down yet. Elon might try to steal you from me. He will stole you, and that would mean that you will never remember any memories with me. Like I never exist in your life. Elon might steal you and own you as his own mate.’
