ALPHA KING AYDENThere was no way I had a peaceful night.Aside from the furious storm that raged through the night, I experienced another form of the storm all through the hours of the night. That storm was within me and I had to battle with it so it wouldn't break me.Zadie…She had caused a mixture of emotions within me without trying.After she left me hanging last night, I retired to my room due to the weakness I felt in my stomach. This room was nothing compared to the one I have back at my Royal Mansion but it was closer to Zadie’s room.It was closer to the woman that nearly broke me last night.
ZADIE WILSONMy lips quivered when I tried to tell him that he shouldn’t pull the duvet off me. I couldn't get the words out of my mouth. “Oh my goodness, Zadie!”Ayden breathed after he pulled the duvet off my body. I couldn't meet his eyes and I curled up even more, struggling to tell him to drop the duvet over my body. The night has been nothing but a nightmare. I couldn't stop my body from shivering and neither could I stop my body from heating up when it started in the middle of the storm that seemed to have calmed some hours ago… I couldn't be precise. “Why are you on the cold floor when you are shivering?”Ayden questioned but I couldn't respond. My tongue was also frozen yet hot as fuck. This was what I got for walking under the rain despite its windy accomplice.Ayden soon got the answer to his question when he tried to lift me off the ground. “Ouch! Why are you so hot, Zadie!”He exclaimed. The reason why I rolf the bed and into this corner was because the bed was too hi
ALPHA KING AYDENI saw the burns on her body but I didn't point it out. Not because I wasn’t worried, but because her temperature was more concerning. The burnt spot in her body was healing and didn't pose a threat to her health.Karl disagreed, “Still, you should point it out and try to heal her so she wouldn't have terrifying scars.”“Not now, Karl.” I chimed, repositioning Zadie in my arms as I descended the stairs. “If we are going to agree about anything, this should be it, Karl.”Before my wolf beast could argue with me, Zadie murmured, “I am sorry for being a burden. You must have so much to do with the Alpha King after the stormy night.”“You are more important.”I said without hesitation. Zadie’s red face turned a shade darker and I smiled as she looked away from me. Thankfully, she was no longer shivering, however, her hotness kept burning my skin. She was physically hot and I experienced what it was like to burn for her yesterday morning but this particular hotness wasn't
ZADIE WILSONHe hasn't given up. Still.I don't know what has come over Ayden. It's been over twenty-four hours since the fever broke yet he hasn't stopped fussing over me like I was some walking container of diseases. Yesterday didn't end well because I had to force Ayden out of my room. He was adamant to stay and spend the night in my room– whether on the bed or on the floor.Not to forget the many meals he prepared all through yesterday. He made me breakfast yesterday which was a well-toasted French toast. I was shocked. And for lunch, he ordered pizza and he would have made dinner if I didn’t tell him I wanted to have an early night.I thought sensing him out of my room last night would make him give up and understand that I was okay. I mean, he didn't even leave the house yesterday. However, walking down the stairs this morning, my less active werewolf nose picked up the scent of fried eggs and bacon– burnt bacon
ALPHA KING AYDEN“Eat me…”She whimpered, sending my pent-up need down to my needy member. I grabbed her with full determination to show her that she truly belongs to me.However, Karl chipped in, “Is that how you plan to tell her she is our fated mate? Is this how you let the truth out?”Karl's tone was condemning me and I held myself back from “eating” Zadie as she asked me.But she broke my restraint when she repeated, “Eat me, Ayden.” She was daring me. The sound of my name as it rolled off her tongue, the steady rise and fall of her breast, and the intoxicating smell of her unleashed desire… All these factors compelled me and I forgot that I needed to come out clean. Instead of saying the truth about our situation, I whispered, my breath fanning Zadie’s face. “I have changed my mind, Zadie.” Her deep honey-brown eyes fluttered to mine. I could see the question within them but before she could ask any of them, I re
ZADIE WILSON“The scent of your nervousness is choking me.” Regina blurted, taking my hand in hers as the car moved smoothly through the pack territory.I smiled nervously, “I am sorry, Regina. It's just that–”“You don't want to go to the Royal Physician or any physician at all but my dumb grandson keeps forcing you?”Regina asked rhetorically. She knew me too well. Why not? After saving her life and becoming friends with her, we spoke every day and became closer until I ghosted her for four days.Regina found out about my condition after she urged me to explain what the problem was. She knew I wouldn't close my diner for silly reasons and that I wouldn't choose to stop speaking to her. After all, I bonded well with her.After she found out, she tried to get me checked up but I refused and explained to her that I was tired of visiting physicians and doctors. Regina didn't give up immediately even though I haven't been completely honest with her about my background.She loved me. I d
ZADIE WILSONBy the time we arrived at the physician’s home, it was past noon. Regina and I took our time while eating. Well, it was mostly me. I made her buy various food on the menu because I wanted to taste them and examine them with my tongue. I still needed to get some new recipes for my Diner. Especially after the fire. My Diner needed to bounce back. I couldn't wait to get back to cooking for my customers on Monday.“Get out of your head, Zadie. We are here.”Regina announced, tapping me the moment the car stopped in front of the Physician's home. I have heard a lot about Royal Physicians. They are all from the same bloodline of werewolves. The post of Royal physician has always been inherited by the generation of that bloodline. Regina led me to the entrance of the physician’s home where a slim young man was waiting for us. He greeted Regina respectfully, “It’s an honor to have you in our home, Lady Regina.”Regina smiled at the male, before saying, “Good to see you today,
ALPHA KING AYDENIf she could command the floor to open wide, swallow her and hide her deep within, Zadie would have given the earth such command despite whatever aftermath she might have to endure.Karl let out a wolf snort within my mind, “She should blush often. Look at the pretty shade of her face.”Obviously, My wolf beast was head over heels for my mate. It was a pity that neither of us could perceive Zadie’s wolf beast… If she even had one.“I can't believe Regina told you about it.”Zadie muttered under her breath hiding her face with her palms. I chuckled and stepped closer to her.I blurted the truth without thinking about how that might affect me, “Regina didn't tell me anything. Royal physician Robin informed me about your health status himself–”“Why would he do that? Does he understand that he had broken the patient-physician confidentiality?” Zadie exclaimed, embarrassment clouding her face, and she added, “You also sound like you are extremely close to him.”Well. I sh
