Chapter 34
ELEIA’S POV
—
I walk out of the building and Aiden is no where to be found…
‘Aiden , where are you ?’ I mind link him , but it’s like I can’t even feel him .
He’s blocked me out of his mind .
He doesn’t want to talk to me , he doesn’t want to see me… he hates me..
“Aiden !” I yell , my voice echoing , but no one is around .
A silhouette walks from the house side and my hopes are high that it’s Aiden , but when Stefan’s face clears through the misty sky , I feel disappointed .
“I’m sorry I’m not who you’re looking for , but he did send me to come get you and take you home .” He offers a small smile , but rage fills my chest as my hands fist next to my sides .
“Where is he ?” I grit out through chattering teeth .
“He we went for a run .” He explains and my head immediately snaps to the forest around us , my body turning and I stomp towards the large trees .
“Eleia .” Stefan bellows and he wraps his arms around me .
“Let me go !” I kick and scream as he lifts me into his arms .
“I am not allowed to do that , alpha’s orders .” He shrugs as if he can’t see the hot tears streaming down my face ,
like he can’t see how broken I am right now .
“He can’t just run away from this !” I slap Stefan’s chest and I know it’s wrong , I shouldn’t be taking this out on my best friend’s mate , but right now , he’s the beta of the alpha , my mate and if my mate is going to leave me and Stefan won’t tell me , then he’s just as guilty .
“I know .” Stefan mutters , making anger brew in my chest , “Then tell me where he went .” I yell , glaring up at him as he carries me back to the house that I’m probably going to lose .
Stefan stays silent , his jaw ticking .
“Tell me !” I yell , trying to get out of his embrace , “I don’t know .” He sighs .
“Then put me down and I’ll go look !” I yell , probably hurting his ears .
“I can’t .” He shrugs as if it’s not his choice .
“I am your Luna , I command you to let me go !” I bare my teeth and he turns his head and looks down at me , pity clear in his eyes .
“I really am sorry , but my alpha said no .” He mutters before glancing straight ahead again and when he puts me down inside the house , I lunge at him , slamming his chest out of anger and sadness , “Tell me ! Tell me !” I repeatedly chant as I slam my fists into his chest .
He doesn’t move , he doesn’t fight back , he just blankly stares at me with a sad gaze in his eyes .
“What are you doing Eleia ?” Rosie’s scared voice penetrates my ear drums and her hands grab my wrist before pushing me back and I trip , falling onto my a*s as I stare right into Rosie’s regretful blue orbs .
“Rosie .” Stefan growls , shoving her aside and her face looks broken as he reaches for me , but I swat his hand away .
“Back the f**k off .” I seethe as I stand and when this is the moment my best friend is suppose to apologise for making me fall , she just stares at her mate with teary eyes .
“Aiden said…” Stefan starts , “Well Aiden is not here and when he’s not here , I am the leader of this god forsaken pack so leave me alone !” I growl , my voice echoing off the walls and I run up the stairs , hearing Rosie yell at Stefan for shoving her to help me .
I slam the door , my breathing heavy and it feels like I can’t think straight or breathe .
He’s going to leave me and I would have no where to go…
My hands rest on my stomach and I try to focus on my breathing to calm it down , knowing that the doctor said it’s not good for the baby and no matter what , this is my child and I have to take care of it .
I go run myself a bath and climb in , relaxing in the heated water that calms my racing heart .
I poured water out and new hot water in like two times before the door bursted open , Aiden stumbling in , his limbs all over the place before he knees in front of the toilet , spewing into it .
I stare at him dumbfounded before he sits against the toilet and when his eyes fall on me , they widen .
“What are you doing here ?” He asks so heartlessly .
“Taking a bath .” I shrug and he nods , his head lolling as he rests it in the palm of his hand , his elbow resting on his raised knee , the other leg straight .
“Are you going to kick me out ?” I ask as I stop breathing , waiting for him to say no , or yes .
“What ?” He struggles to lift his head and I roll my eyes at the drunk man sitting in front of me .
“Are you going to reject me now ?” I seethe , sitting up as I grab the hard porcelain material I’m sitting on .
“No , you’re mine .” He growls protectively , “And my baby ?” I ask and he sighs , “You mean the monster’s kid ?” He scoffs and my heart cracks at his harsh words .
“It’s my baby Aiden .” I lean forward , the back of my eyes stinging as unshod tears form in my eyes , everything looking blurry and the tears resting on the rim of my eyes .
“Same thing .” He mutters and I glare at him as I raise to my feet and step out of the bath .
His head raises and he grins as his eyes trail my naked body as I reach for my towel , wrapping it around me .
His grin falls , “Why did you do that ?” He pouts like a little kid .
“Do what ?” I c**k my head at him before I let the messy bun down from on top of my head and my dark hair cascades down my back .
“Cover that smoking body of yours .” He glares at the towel covering me up and I turn on my heel , ignoring his comments .
He wants nothing to do with the kid growing inside of me , but he wants my body ?
Hell no .
“Eleia .” He slurs as he sways side to side , coming out of the bathroom , leaning against the door frame .
“No .” I mutter as I dry myself off before putting on a pair of socks , sweatpants and a jersey , climbing onto the bed all the while he stands and looks at me like I’m some sort of picture he likes .Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Come on .” He mutters and I scoff before laying down , cuddling the pillow with my back turned to him .
I hear his heavy footsteps coming closer before he comes into eye’s view , standing on his side of the bed .
“I’m sorry .” He sits down and I force my eyes shut .
“Please look at me .” He pleads , sounding as broken as I feel , but I refuse to open my eyes and look at him .
He isn’t himself , he isn’t in his right mind .
“Please .” He begs and I sigh , opening my eyes .
“I shouldn’t be mad at the kid .” He motions to my stomach with his hands and I chew on the inside of my cheek as I blankly stare at him , waiting for him to continue .
His dark hair is messy and he stinks like alcohol .
“I’m mad at Regan because he took the thing I wanted to give you first and now he took this , he’s the dad and I’m not .” He sighs miserably .
“I’m going to be nothing while I have to share you with Regan .” He snarls and I prop myself up on my elbow , “I don’t want to tell Regan .” I grit out and his bushy eyebrows raise in shock , “You don’t ?” He asks and I shake my head , “I want nothing to do with him , I moved on and he moved on . I don’t want my kid to know him .” I shake my head as dear takes over .
“So I can still kill him ?” He grins and I can’t help but laugh , “Sure , he means nothing to me , but you mean everything to me . This baby means everything to me and we can have our own baby after him , but what I need to know is , will you treat him like your own or do I have to leave ?” My l*p trembles as I ask the question that’s either going to make me happy or that’s going to break me .
“I want you Eleia .” He breathes out and a single tear runs down my cheek , “That’s not the correct answer Aiden .” I bottom l*p curls .
“I promise to love your kid like my own , because even if it’s his…” he snarls , “It doesn’t matter because the baby is yours and every part of you , is something I want and that baby is apart of you .” He takes my hand and I’m sobbing in happiness as I sit up and crawl onto his lap , holding him around the neck .
