Call me Alpha (Aiden and Ashira) novel Chapter 57

Chapter 57: Arrival of the King (Part One)

Aiden’s POV

*Slap!*

I don’t mind the sting I felt on my face but Ashira’s slap also struck my heart with an intolerable pain. I was stunned and unable to move from where I stood, even my face won’t tilt back and my eyes has feared seeing her current expression.

“You can’t fool me!”

Even her voice has a hint of pain in it that my chest felt heavy and clenched. I tried talking to her about the truth again today. She has rested and slept outdoors last night and I let her be, trying not to distract her.

I watched her sleep from far.

I waited for her to wake up, asked someone to bring her some food. She ate. A little. But she was still dozing off and now she is crying. Mad, angered, lonely, and hurt. That is all I could smell from her.

From her scent, I know she does not feel anything for me.

“You are not my mate. My mate is dead! You killed him!”

I hissed and tilted my head up as I screwed my eyes shut. I listened to her low, rough sobs and tried my best to keep my mouth shut.

Truth is what I tried to tell her and now she’s like this. If I try convincing her more, she might hate me more and I don’t want to add up what she already felt about me.

“Stop trying to manipulate me! Please! Leave me and my child alone!”

I slowly turned my head to look at her.

Is this the right decision? Should I just leave her alone and let her do what she want or think what she believes? Her face is wet because of her tears. She is still too gorgeous despite her distress aura and looks.

This gorgeous person seems so far away and yet she wanted to be further.

“I can’t.” I whispered.

She turned around and screamed inwardly before facing me again.

“You are so full of yourself! Can’t you see that I hate it here? I wanna go back to my old pack, to be in the place where I had memories with Elon! I don’t want to be here, I don’t want to stay here, I don’t want to be with you!”

Every phrase she said seems like an arrow piercing through my heart, making me bleed.

“If only you didn’t kill my mate!” she cried hard and I feel like I want the ground to eat me whole. She sat on the bench and tried suppressing her cries and she looked more pitiful that way.

“Your mate feels like dying now, baby.” I whispered. I don’t know if she heard me and I think she didn’t because I didn’t hear any response from what I said. Her sobs are drowning her and I feel invisible now in front of her.

Am I not allowed to feel the pain?

I sighed.

I can’t let her go.

“I’ll talk to you later.”

Maybe its not the time yet.

Ashira’s POV

I hear his footsteps walking away but I can’t stop myself from crying. I feel like I don’t want to cry anymore, I don’t wanna be hurt anymore. But something inside me churns every time, making me suffer from the pain of losing someone.

I know what he meant about what he said and he was referring to himself as my mate again. Calling me names like ‘baby’ and ‘honey’ from time to time. I don’t believe him, but I’m confused.

Why does he feel like dying like he said?

I’m the one who feels like I’ll follow Elon to the lights soon. If not for the pup he left me with, I might kill myself already than living everyday to feel like this.

Tortured.

Pained.

Dying.

I’m so baffled from my own emotions. I’m torn to what I should believe and not, what’s the truth?

Why is that Aiden claiming that he was my mate? Elon is my mate. Is that possible? I never heard of any of that.

I just lost Elon. And what I was feeling right now is not a joke. I’m dying inside. I know I lost my mate. I know Elon is my mate.

Why will I be confuse? I know I’m sure, but there’s a question in my head that I wanted to find answers to. But what is the question? I don’t know what I’m looking for and its hard to answer a question that doesn’t exist.

Right. Maybe there is no question, it does not exist. And I shouldn’t be having any confusion because there is nothing to be confused about.

“Luna Ashira?”

I covered my nose and tried not to breathe because of the scent that suffocates my lungs. What the hell? What is this smell?

A few days had passed and Lucianna said he needed to go back to her mate. I got no one I knew here at Prime pack and their Alpha named Aiden kept bugging me everyday.

I looked at the old woman who stands presentably meters away from me. Its her. The scent is coming from her.

“Please don’t come near me.” I tried saying as I covered my nose. Why does she smell like this? The scent is too sweet, too much that it hurts my nose and throat.

The old lady smiled at me.

“I know meeting with you now is not a good thing because of your pregnancy but I took the risk while Alpha Aiden is away.”

What is she saying? She needs to see me but she can only do that when Aiden is not around? Is she here to help me?
