#Chapter10

Althea changed into one of his white t-shirts as he kept on saying that he didn’t like her in someone else’s clothing. They ate pizza for dinner in silence. Althea had two slices and Aries finished the rest. She was about to go to her room but Aries held on tight, fearing that she might leave him.

So, she slept in his bed next to him. She laid on her side while he hugged her from the back. After a long time, Althea slept like a kid with no nightmares.

She woke up with a tingling feeling on her belly. Aries had wrapped his hand around her bare waist, in his sleep. Her t-shirt was wrinkled up, leaving her belly bare. It hadn’t even been long but he needed to feel her close to him.

She slowly turned around and looked at his sleeping face. It was peaceful, not a sign of the stern Alpha, there slept just Aries. She took in all the details of his face, his thick, long eyelashes, his soft lips. She trailed her fingers down his face, closing her eyes and taking in all the details in her head.

Slowly Aries stirred, making Althea take her hand back from his face. He stopped and his breath evened. She slowly took his arms off and slid off the bed. She took the pile he had given to her, the night before and skidded to her room.

She put the clothes in the bed and went off to take a long and hot shower. As soon as she wrapped a towel and stepped out of her washroom, a worried and angry looking Aries burst her bedroom door open. He ran to her and wrapped his arms around her while they stumbled and fell on the floor with Althea on top. Aries took deep breath, taking in her vanilla, lavender mixed scent, hugging her tighter, sending tingles through their bare skin as she just had a towel covering her.

“I thought you left me.” he whispered. If she was not a werewolf, she would never have heard him. She patted his chest softly, feeling his breathing even and he soon calmed down.

“Never leave like that again” Aries said.

“Never” Althea replied. “Unless you tell me to leave, I won’t.”

“Never” he said and placed his head on the crook of her neck, breathing her in and sending tingles throughout her body as he does so.

Aries lifts up his head, “Move into my room. I can’t have you running away from me every morning.” he says.

“Woah! Hold on wolfy!” Althea pushes off of him and gets on her feet fixing her towel around herself. Aries is shocked but grins when he hears her call him wolfy.

“Wolfy? Huh?” he smirks.

Althea grabs one of his t-shirts from the bed and walks back to the bathroom, closing the door. She slips in her bra and underwear she had in the bathroom and pulls the black t-shirt on.

“Althea. Please move in with me.” he pleads from the bedroom.

She walks back out to the room. Aries now sat on the bed, back hunched, fingers clasped together, “Promise, I won’t do anything that you don’t want to.”

“I just need you by me, with me.” he says, looking into her eyes.

This man is melting her heart, thought Althea. “Fine. But I want a favour.” Althea says.

“Anything.” Aries says.

“Could you please send someone to me?” she said which gained a curious look from Aries. “A girl. Look, I’m running out of clothes to wear?” she quickly added.

“That can be arranged.” he grinned.
