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.’ This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

‘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.’

I feel like I’m breaking down. The words I said to her was almost like my whining. I hate to say this but

right now, I’m only praying that I could save Ashira at the right time.

‘No, Aiden, I won’t let him do anything or even get near me. I don’t want to be stole! I’m your mate!’

‘I know, please, calm down.’

‘I will never forget you! I-I-I don’t want to be-, Aiden, please…’

I could feel her frightened emotion, she’s scared and she’s probably crying right now. Alone. Without

me. Fuck.

I screamed my frustration and punch the wall in front of me. A hole was made by my fist and the wall

cracked up to the ceiling.

Damn it! Damn it!

I feel the same, Ashira! I do! If only I wouldn’t think of the welfare of my pack. I would attack on my own

just to save her so why did I even wait this far?

Right.

I’ll save her no matter the cost.

‘I’ll save you now. I’ll come for you, baby. Please don’t cry. Reach to me and I’ll answer right away. I’ll

come for you now.’

‘What will you do, Aiden? Don’t come unprepared. Please, I need you.’

‘I’ll do anything for you, Ashira. I’ll risk everything for you.’

I will attack Ravenous without the help of our alliance. I couldn’t wait another minute and I won’t wait for

hours while my mate is scared and crying as she fights alone.

I moved out of the room with inhumane speed. Just when I reached the living room, I saw Nick with

Jacob and his mate, Lucianna just arrived.

“Brother.” Jacob greeted but I can only nod. My head is focused on the attack the formed inside my

head.

I turned to Nick and saw his forehead creasing with confusion.

“Nick, prepare every shifters. Fighters, Guards, Trackers and Watchers. Everyone who knew how to

fight. Just leave the pup beginners to defend the land.”

“What? Why? What’s happening?”

“Just do as you are told!”

“Aiden, what are you planning?” Jacob butted in.

I sighed and watched them.

Nick was confused but he’s yet following my command. Jacob has the criticizing look on his face and

beside him is Lucianna who’s arms are wrapped on Jacob’s arms.

In a split moment, I saw a picture of me and Ashira together just like how Lucianna and Jacob is right

now. I shook my head after a few seconds and moved my eyes back to Nick.

Ignoring Jacob’s question, I tried and explained to Nick what I planned to happen.

“We’re attacking Ravenous right now so gather everyone.”

“Are you craz-”

“Go on, Nick. Follow the command of your Alpha since it seems he knew how to assassinate his own

pack in a heroic way.” Jacob snarled at me.

I saw how Lucianna look at her mate with widened eyes and dropped jaw.

A loud growl directed to Jacob escaped my throat.

“Stay out of this, Jacob!”

The Alpha in front of me smirked and crossed his arms in front of his chest.

“Says someone who asked for our help. Has your mind left you, Aiden?”

I felt every nerve in my body exploded. Without any thoughts, I grabbed his collar and pushed him that

we’re both on the floor. I’m towering above him and he looked at me with a tired look.

“You don’t know what I’m going through!”

“Aiden!” Lucianna shouted.

“Don’t fight, you guys!” Nick.

“Do I need to be in your shoes to know what’s best? You are risking your life and the life of your loyal

soldiers by not using your head!”

My teeth gritted as a growl came out of my chest.

“Please have a calm conversation, you two.” Lucianna pleaded. I slanted my head and sighed, pulling

myself up and standing on my feet.

“I’ll risk everything to save my mate. If you’re against it, then try and stop me.” I said in a calm tone but

every words that came out of my mouth were emphasizing that I’ve already made my decision.

“Aiden. Even if you save Ashira and died, another mateless wolf will come for her. Who will save her

then, huh?” Jacob insisted on trying to change my decision but what shocked me is how he knew about

Ashira’s wolf abnormality.

I turned to Nick with questioning eyes.

“I told him about it.” Nick answered with a sigh. “Sorry, it kind of slipped when we were talking over the

phone.”

I sighed and screwed my eyes shut.

“I won’t tell anyone and Lucianna won’t harm her friend. Your secret is safe with us but think of what I

just said, Aiden. You need to act accordingly and plan this thoroughly. Wars shouldn’t be made in an

impulsive reasons. Hundreds of life is at stake and you need to take your pack under consideration. Its

our duty as Alpha.”

“You don’t understand, Jacob. A stealer like Ashira can be stolen with a process that someone like Elon

may know how. A mateless wolf with knowledge of rare potions like him have a dark enchantress

behind his back. Supporting him. If he succeeded, my mate won’t even remember who I am and what I

am to her.”

“So? You can’t think of a solution for a problem that is yet to exist. The mate bond is strong, you can

think of a solution after you’ve successfully saved Ashira if Elon will precede on stealing her. And you

can only do that if you are still alive!”

“You don’t get it! I can’t waste time! This is not just my mate we are saving but my child, too!”

“Oh my! Ash is pregnant?!” Lucianna blurted out.

I nodded at her and sighed.

“Elon will want to execute stealing Ashira to have a successor of his title. And I have a feeling that he’ll

do it soon.”

A long silence filled around us. Jacob was thinking and I think he finally understand the reason of my

impulsive decision.

Damn. This conversation already killed a lot of time.

“I know you understand now.” I turned to Nick. “Follow my instruction, we can’t waste any more

minutes.”

“I’ll join you then. I won’t leave a brother behind.” Jacob said.

I looked at him with narrowed eyes. I can’t believe he will support me on this but I need every help I can

gather right now.

I nodded and reached out my hand to Jacob. A sign of appreciation. He took it and gave me a tap on

my shoulder.

“Uh, excuse me.”

Our eyes went to the person standing on the opened entrance door. Zeke were huffing as he stands

there.

“We can surely attack Ravenous pack right now even without the alliance of other pack.” he said and

raised his hand where he holds a piece of paper.
