Chapter 107: Chapter 107

No One Pov's

.

He looks at the pillow on the couch and his hands hitch to place them in their correct place. He gave Aana a fake smile and slowly went towards the bed to pick up the throw pillow and arrange them on the couch and pick the bed pillows from the couch to arrange them on the bed. He can feel her angry gaze digging a hole in my head but not once does he dare to look at her.

"Now they are perfect" The word escaped from my mouth before he would have stopped them, looking at the well-arranged pillow on the bed.

"Ohh... Perfect" His eyes widened upon hearing Aana and turned his head to look at her. If looks could kill then he would have been buried inside the ground till now.

"Forget I said something.'' He muttered nervously and was about to pick the pillow from the bed to place them again on the couch but she snatched it from his hand harshly and placed it on the bed.

"Pearl... I'm" Before he could complete she went to the other side and opened his cupboard and started searching for something in it.

"Pearl, what are you doing?"

"Searching for your brain. you might have put it here by mistake" she scoffed. He rolled his eyes at her comment.

"You told me, you're not mad at me" he muttered. She turned her head towards him.

"I'm not" She snarled.

"I can see that" He mocked and went towards her, only to pull her closer. She tried to detach herself from him but he tightened his grip and caged her in his arms.

Aaron let Aana go waist when she started struggling in his arms, in fear of holding her tightly. Her skin is so delicate, if anyone holds her tightly then her skin turns red at that place.

She was about to cross him but he didn't let her go and blocked her way with his hands, confining her between the cupboard and his body. She glared at him angrily.

"Leave my way, Aaron"

"Never... I will never leave your way, Aana. No matter what you do or say you will always find me with you" He smirked, looking into her eyes. His smirk changed into anxiety when he noticed her teary eyes.

"Pearl" She turned her head in another direction, not wanting to look into his eyes which always peer deep into her soul.

"I'm sorry if you don't like me coming closer to you" He muttered and was about to move away when she clutched his shirt.

"It's nothing like that"

"then?"

"I don't have any problem making out with you, Aaron. If it's all about having sex for you and Alice then I'm fine with it" He squeezed his eyebrow not getting what she wanted to say.

"It's nothing like that, Aana. We want to come closer to each other because I and Rex want to feel you both and want to mate with you. It's normal... or you can say it is also a way of showing love. It's a way to become one. We want to give you and Alice the right which we didn't give to anyone and the same was the reason for Alice." He muttered and glared at her angrily. Aana's words pissed him off.

"And yes... we both don't want to have sex but want to make love" He scoffed and hit his hand on the cupboard. Aana closed her eyes in fear and tears fell from her eyes.

"You're scaring me" she muttered and opened her eyes and looked into his eyes which were screaming how hurt he is because of her words.

"How could you think so low of us?" He asked.

"I'm sorry." She apologised and bowed her head.

"I don't know what I was thinking before uttering those words... I'm sorry" she sobbed and hid her face in her palms. He sighed and took a deep breath, closing his eyes to calm his anger.

"I'm so--sorry" he opened his eyes and removed her palm.

"Look at me, Pearl" She nodded her head negatively. He cupped her face and made her look into his eyes.

"I'm sorry" she sobbed.

"It's okay" he muttered and wiped her tears lovingly then held her hand, dragging her towards the bed.

"Now tell me what's going into your mind" He muttered taking her hand into his. She didn't utter a word but kept sobbing.

"Why can't she share anything with us?" Rex frowned.

"Because she can't... for some people it's not easy to express their love in words, Rex. Some people choose silence and want to find someone who reads their silence or makes them comfortable to share their heart and feelings and she is one of those people. she can't share her feelings easily and her anxiety issues make it words. She thinks a lot before saying anything... that's why I always sit beside her and wait until she feels comfortable to share. Even you also kept this in mind, Rex. We always have to be patient around her. We have to treat her like we treat rose petals. Our anger will always make her anxious. Didn't you see how she started crying when I hit my hand on the cupboard in anger" Aaron stated his point with an example and looked at Aana who was staring at him.

"I'm afraid, Aaron" he smiled because she finally got comfortable sharing her feelings.

"Afraid but why and with whom?" He asked and held her hand, indicating to her that he was with him.

"Did someone say something to you?" He asked. she nodded her head negatively.

"You don't need to be afraid of anything, Pearl, when I'm with you. If someone scares you then tell me. I will burn that person alive after beating"

"I'm not afraid of anyone," She said, interrupting him.

"Then?"

"I'm afraid that I won't be able to love you in the same way you did to me." She confessed, startling him. He opened his mouth to say something but not a word came out of his mouth.

"When Vince asked me those questions, I was sure that I had feeling for you but I'm not sure if I'm worthy of your love or not"

"Pearl" Before he could complete, Aana kept her hand on his lips.

"Please let me complete" she requested and removed her hand from his lips when he nodded his head.

"I want to love you unconditionally, Aaron. I want to love not because you took me out of the darkness, or because you make me smile, or because you stay by my side…I don't want to love because of any reason." She mumbled and held his hand.

"After a time, all these reasons can fade away but I don't want my love for you to end. I want to love you unconditionally and till my last breath." She confessed and left his hand. She turned her head in another direction and started scratching the back of her hand because of nervousness.

"I understand you, Rex and Alice waited for me so long, and I... I'm taking time for unnecessary reasons but it's not in my hands. I feel anxious that what if I won't be able to love the way you do to me…What if I'm not able to give you the same happiness you give me? What if" She clamped up when he held her hand.

"don't" He muttered and looked at the back of her hand. Blood started oozing out of her skin.

"What did you do?" he frowned and kissed the back of her hand. Tears brimmed in his eyes upon hearing her words.

"You said, you're afraid that you won't be able to love me as I do but you have no realisation Aana that you love me more than anyone can love someone. More than I do. Love is not what people express in words. if it is true then it can easily be felt by someone. Like when you wake up early in the morning and take a bath just to make breakfast for me so that I won't leave for the office without eating anything. You make sure to pack our lunch so that I don't have to eat something from outside. You left all your work just to have lunch with me so that I won't feel alone. You make sure to hug me whenever I miss my parents. You even try to make something special for me at dinner to freshen up my mood. You went with me on a walk despite being tired because you know how much I liked night walks. You listen to everything that I want to share and then talk to me when I want to hear you. You slept with me because you know I don't feel like sleeping alone. First, we slept together because of your nightmares and you used to push me, asking me to sleep properly in my room but when you came to know that I felt lonely in my room then you didn't push me away. You make sure to check on me at night and blow the blanket over me, knowing I threw the blanket in my sleep... You don't express in words, Pearl but it's clear in action how much you loved and cared about me." He thought but didn't utter a word, wanting her to realise on her own. He looked at her when Alice healed her and cupped her face.

"You don't need to be afraid of anything because I don't want you to do anything for me. Just stay by my side and it's enough for me, Aana" He muttered and kissed her forehead.

"If she needs time then I'm ready to give her as much as she wants." Aaron thought.

"We are ready," Rex muttered. Aaron smiles and takes her into his embrace, ready to give her time as much as she wants but who has control over time? Time doesn't run according to any person's will. Aaron was waiting for the moment when Aana realised her love for him but sometimes perfect moments never come at the right time. Something was waiting for them to bring the biggest change in their relationship. Aana broke the hug when Aaron's phone rang and indicated to him to pick up his call.

"Yeah Christian" He picked the call.

"You asked me to arrange your meeting with Scott's company. Mrs. Ivanna Scott already came here. Where are you, asshole" he groaned.

"Fuck.. I forget about it. I'm just coming over there" he muttered and stood up from bed then directly went towards the washroom after taking out his clothes from the wardrobe. He didn't even look at Aana who was looking at her hand in which she was holding his hand.

"Why suddenly I started feeling so anxious like he will go away from me?" She thought and then shook her head negatively.

"I'm getting anxious for no reason." She muttered and looked above and prayed to the moon goddess to protect her mate and her bond from every evil eye.
