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 .Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
“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 .
“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 .
