Chapter 46 Aniston's POV "Let us agree to disagree on that. I think you are actually an amazing mom and I’m sure no kid my age thinks that about his mom. That being said, I will deny ever saying this in public because I have my reputation to think about" A.J said smiling I stared at my son and smiled "when did you get so smart and wise?" I said and touched his cheek.He was my perfect beautiful boy. He looked so much like his father."So I am guessing everyone is good to go, right?" Ari asked me.He was holding his car keys.We had a function to attend and we were running late already, as we got in the car. We all knew we weren’t going anywhere until we cleared the anger and resentment in us, it was just a family rule. We don’t go to bed or drive anywhere without sorting out our issues, family always comes first, every other thing can wait."Danielle, are you okay?" I asked my teenage daughter"I’m fine, thanks mom" she said adamantly "Please can you people make up already? We ar
Ari's POV His questions made me rub my chest in circular motion.(Because we can't) I told him plainly.(Don't I get a say in it?!) He yelled at me.I exhaled shakily and closed my eyes. I felt anger line my veins like a corrosive material.(Do you think you are the only one who wants her? But Gideon, she's not right in the head…)(We can fix her! I can fix her!) My wolf yelled.(We can't afford another project right now. Mom and Dad are at the verge of collapsing. Storm is in constant pain. Granduncle Chad wants our birthright as Alpha, the pack is this close to being torn apart…now, tell me, how do we fix everything and still keep Aniston from hurting herself!) I finally lost my temper.(There is no need to yell…) Gideon's voice faded away.I took a deep breath and rubbed my forehead."I am sorry but I am doing the best I can" I said out loud.(I know, Ari…I know)(Let's go for a run)Instead of using the door, I jumped down from the balcony and I headed straight for the woods.My
Aniston's POV"I won! I won!"I could see Ari walking towards me. My happiness knew no bounds."I won! I won!"Without thinking, I threw myself at Ari and he caught me like it was a normal thing in the world. He was just as happy as I am as we wrapped our arms around each other. His roman nose and half-dome cheekbones….tried not to wrinkle as he tried to not to smile. His wrestler's shoulders were part of his burly physique and I loved holding him more than I care to admit."I won!""Should I point out that you cheated?" He asked in a laughing voice."You could but it's not going to change the fact that you lost…to me" "Fine, you won""Yes!" I hugged him without thinking. I first noticed the change in his breathing pattern before I realized what caused it.I was stark naked!I had transformed and I didn't even know it."Oh my God, I am…""Naked? Yes, you are" he completed for me.I winced.He took off his jacket and gave it to me and I wore it.We started walking home."I can't bel
Aniston's POV Ari laughed this time around. By the look on his face, it was like he was trying to picture it."Tell me she inherited my wit and charm" he insisted."Wit and charm…no, she did not. Danny is smart, intelligent and a CEO by the age of fourteen. She grunts and she is willful, sounds like someone we know?""Oh my God, we gave birth to a female version of Alpha Ryan that also has her Mama's attitude? God help us!" The way Ari shook his head, made me suppress a snicker which made me spit out some coffee."Sorry"He handed a napkin to me and I took it."Thanks. She's your favorite though…you called Princessa affectionately. Her brother inherited your charm and wit though. A ten year old named AJ"Ari dropped the cup he was holding and looked at me."Tell me we didn't name our son, Andrew" he asked with a serious face.I took a minute to look at him and just like that I started missing the life I dreamt of, where someone like him loved me unconditionally."No…AJ actually mean
Ari's POVAfter I watched Aniston leave, I realized I wasn't going to sleep…I was too excited to just go to bed and sleep.I opened the door and stepped out into the balcony, smiling at intervals like a buffoon. I stared at the trees behind my house but I couldn't stop thinking about Aniston.It was beginning to puzzle me.It puzzled me more than I let on. I do not understand why all of a sudden every waking thought was about a girl I could barely stand. A girl with a fractured mind.It didn't make any sense to me. I imagined her lips several times. I imagined I was running my finger down her lips, I blinked twice when my mind started to wander to other parts of her exotic body.Get it together! It was only a kiss but I can't remember the last time I was this excited about something…Aniston made me excited and not only in the way you think, you perv!She made me excited in other areas of my life, she made me feel like I could take on the world and win.I took a deep breath and tried
Aniston's POV This morning I woke up feeling refreshed.I smiled any chance I got. I snuck into Stormi's room because I felt the need to tell him in detail about last night.When I got to his room, he was still undercover snoring softly like a pregnant snow bear.I took off my slippers and climbed on top of his bed and started jumping and yelling "Wakie Wakie! Stormi, it's morning!"As a reply, he pushed me off his bed and I landed on the floor on my butt. I don't think he is a morning person.I went around and pulled the blanket off his body but he curled up in a fetal position and kept sleeping. He was in his gray boxer. Storm was practically naked from waist up, a lesser girl would drool but I didn't.I got the matured and older version of Stormi last night."Storm! It's morning, wake up!"I grabbed his left leg and started pulling him out of bed. He fell on the rug beside the bed, he only groaned and cursed inwardly but his eyes remained close.I sat on top of him and peeped clos
Ari's POV I stared out my window fully dressed in my corporate outfit. My hands were gently tucked away in both my pockets and even though I was staring at the swimming pool outside my window, I was barely seeing it. My mind was entirely on the errand I needed to run this morning.There was a knock on the door and it jolted me back to reality.I turned around and straightened my tie. It was probably one of the domestic staff coming to tell me that breakfast was ready or Cephas bringing in a cup of coffee.I looked around and nothing was out of place. My bed was made and my space was clean enough if I ignored the stack of papers on the table by the window."Come in"The door opened and my little brother walked in with wet hair."Hey, bro. Come to punch me again" I asked him."You are not going to let that go, are you?" Storm asked me and came closer."Nope! I plan to throw it in your face and milk it to my advantage one day, little dude. It's 7am and you are awake…why?" Everyone know
Aniston's POV I stepped down from the cab and made my way into the restaurant. I was over forty minutes late and I was in a hurry to meet my date. Who knew running worst case scenarios about this date could be so time consuming?I even imagined a scenario where we were interrupted by a hungry tiger!What the hell is wrong with me? What will a hungry tiger be doing in 5th and Abbey road in a freaking city!Then I had to find an outfit that wasn't too flashy but not too dull for a perfect dinner in a high end restaurant, a dress that wasn't slimming or make me look fat, a dress that says I am down for anything but I am not a slut. A dress that made me look exquisite yet down to earth.I know, it was too much expectation to put on a dress and Storm told me so himself after I forced him to watch as I changed one dress after the other till I found the one I was wearing. I wonder what he would say if I told him that my mystery date was with his brother.I shudder to think about it.I step
