Chapter 168: Chapter 168

Aaron Pov's

.

"About whom you're talking, Pearl and when you called me?" I asked confusingly when she shared how she fought with her enemy for our pups. Tears stream down from her eyes.

"Al---Alexander" She stuttered. my eyes widened upon hearing that asshole's name from her mouth. It means she again had an encounter from her past.

"I can't even imagine how she would've handled herself that time," I thought and held her hand in mine. My body stiffened when I felt her cold hand which was shivering at the same time.

"Pearl"

"Remember what Alice shared with you regarding my past and Al--Alexander" I can feel how difficult it is for her to remember her harsh memories and take his name which was enough to give her a panic attack.

"Yeah... She told me how he misbehaved with you and in return, you slapped him." I tightened my left fist to control my anger, not wanting to scare her like last time when Alice stopped sharing her past with me because of my reaction.

"She shared with me how you fought with Alexander and then he sent you to the dragon using his power of being a high authority werewolf" She nodded her hand.

"I would have made him suffer for this but Alice stopped me," I grunted under my breath. She was looking at me with teary eyes.

"I wish she wouldn't have stopped him. At least she would have been alive today" She mumbled. I look at her dumbstruck.

"Wasn't his chapter over that day? Did he do something when you encountered him again?" She nodded her head in response to my question while quivering. I felt like my blood was boiling in rage to kill that asshole.

"He destroyed my life, Aaron" She whimpered and clutched my shirt in both hands.

"and want to destroy my life again. He wants to kill my mate like he killed my love" Her whole face turned red because of crying. I cupped her face when I realised she was on the edge of having a panic attack.

"Relax… I don't want to know anything if it results in you having a panic attack" I muttered anxiously. Kathie told me specifically to keep her stress-free and that she shouldn't have a panic attack. It's not good for her and our pups. She held my both hands and nodded her head negatively.

"It's im--Important for you to know everything. He wa--warn me th--that he will kill you and o---our pups" She said breathing heavily.

"Our pups" My eyes widened with her words and fear engulfed me with the thought of something happening to them.

"I can protect them, idiot. Right now, calm our mate" Rex growled at me. He always calms me when I panic after seeing her like this. When I thought something would happen to her or our pups, my mind stopped working. It's only Rex who calms me and puts some sense into me.

"Pearl... Please calm down… You're having a panic attack and it's not good for our pups." She nodded her head and rested her head on my chest, inhaling my scent. It didn't take me long to understand that she was trying to find peace in my arms. She always told me that she feels safe around me and calms down just with my presence. I took her in my embrace and caressed her hair.

"Take a deep breath" she did as I asked.

"Release" She again complied with me. It took time but she calmed down after a while. People think it's easy to share the past but it's not when it is the reason for all your pain and the things that traumatised you.

"I thought Alexander's chapter was over that day when he went out of the pack but no... He was waiting to seek revenge. I didn't say sorry to him despite him sending me to prison and this act hurt his male ego" Tears rolled from her eyes. She was calm this time.

"Are you sure you want to share your past?" I asked, hating to see her like this. She nodded her head.

"I don't want to repeat the same mistake which I did last time. You need to know everything." She muttered and wiped her tears. I nod my head and hold her one hand in mine, tightening my grip, indicating to her that I'm with her irrespective of everything.

"It was my and Vince's engagement as he wanted to make me his like I want to make him mine," Rex growled possessively at her words.

"Don't be an asshole. Did you forget she accepted us only after Vince's approval?" I mocked my wolf who whimpered at my words like a pup.

"We went on a date after our engagement. That day Alexander destroyed everything... My happiness, my pack, me... He destroyed everything. He killed Vince." Tears were streaming down from her eyes and her whole face turned red because of it.

"He died in my arms" She muttered and looked at her hands. "He took his last breath in my arms" She mumbled and then looked at me.

"Not only that, he attacked my pack when they were busy celebrating my happiness. They all were busy partying when their princess got engaged when he attacked my pack members, killing them mercilessly" I closed my eyes and tightened my left fist, to control my wrath and urge to kill that bastard for killing innocent people.

"he" she clamped up and looked at me with tears-filled eyes.

"You will not attack him, right?" I scrunch my eyebrows at her words.

"I don't want you to fight with him but protect yourself and our pups. In case I die while delivering our pups then you will take care of them" I growled, making her flinch.

"There is no need to utter nonsense. Nothing will happen to you "I said, gritting my teeth. she bowed her eyes, knowing that her words pissed me off.

"Alpha '' We turned our heads, only to find Patrick and Marry coming towards us. Aana wiped her tears and took deep breaths to calm herself.

"What happened? why are you crying?" Marry asked her anxiously and then glared at me. "Did he say something to you?" she asked. I raised both my hands in the air.

"I didn't do anything" Aana chuckled at my response and then looked at Marry.

"He didn't do anything..It was just pregnancy hormones" She lied. I smiled at my innocent girl who forgot that some werewolves can smell lies. Marry glared at me angrily after smelling her lie and then took out a bottle from her bag.

"I made this commotion for you. It will help you to get strength." Marry caressed my girl's hair lovingly and passed her bottle. she look at her and then me

"I trust her like a son does for his mother," I muttered. She nodded her head and drank that commotion without any tantrums, bringing a smile to my face. She trusts us more than I and Rex trust ourselves. She started coughing after drinking it all at once. I'm sure it would taste yuck.

I chuckled after seeing her expression. She is looking so cute. I leaned towards to kiss her but she stopped me, keeping her both hands on my chest. I raised my eyebrow to know the reason.

"Don't kiss me. It will ruin your mouth taste as well" I smiled lovingly at her reply before removing her hand from her hands which was restraining me to capture her lips.

I hold both her hands in my one hand and with the other hand, I hold her head in place and attach my lips to her... kissing her passionately.

"Aaron" she moaned when I bit on her lower lip to get access in her mouth and finding it as a chance I entered my tongue inside her mouth, exploring every corner with my tongue like I was exploring the place for treasure. She closed my eyes feeling my passionate love for her and started trying to release her hands from my grip. I understood her gesture and left her both hands then encircled my free hand on her waist, pulling her closer, leaving no space for air.

"Aaron" She again moaned in ecstasy as I deepened the kiss and encircled her one hand around my neck and with the other she started caressing my hair. We both were kissing each other passionately until it became necessary to fill the air in our lungs. She was breathing heavily like she had run a marathon when I parted away from her while I was normal as if we didn't kiss.

"How much stamina do you have?" I laughed at her question and kissed her forehead. She rested her head on my chest.

"After you deliver our pup, I will show you how much stamina I have, '' I said mischievously. She looked at me, widening her eyes, not expecting that I would reply something like this. An erotic moan escaped from her lips when she realised what I meant by those words.

"Hmm," she parted away from me when Marry acted like to coughed, reminding us of her presence.

"Aren't you doing a job of their wheel whenever we romance Marry" I rolled my eyes.

"And aren't you becoming shameless day by day? '' Aana scoffed. My eyes went to Marry and Patrick who were gawking at her.

"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to disrespect you" she muttered hesitantly. I look at her perplexing, not able to understand why she is apologising to me.

"From where this disrespectful topic came" I asked. She didn't reply and sat straight.

"You can say whatever you want. Don't forget I'm all yours and you have all right to say or do anything to me" I grinned. She started looking everywhere but me, understanding the double meaning behind my words.

"You both are so cute" Marry chuckled and kept one hand on my head and the other on her head. "Always stay together and happy" She smiled and looked at my side, only to catch my eyes staring at him with love.

"Are you both done with romancing? We have to reach the pack also" Patrick said in an irritating tone.

"We have to find a mate for him soon otherwise he will turn into a nerd," I said in the same tone as he used to. Aana tightened her lips, not to laugh at my comment.

"Very funny" Patrick scoffed and turned his head in another direction.

"I'm not cracking jokes... I'm serious. We have to find your mate before you reach the hospital for insulting my mate." I said with a poker expression. Aana hit my arm.

"Aaron... Don't" She glared at me before turning his head towards Patrick who was looking in another direction.

"Her mate is dead" I look at Marry shockingly, not expecting to hear that.

"How?" I asked.

"Our enemy's warriors attacked her like yesterday they attacked Aana but she was not as lucky as your mate. Patrick was not with her. Since that day there was no information about her but Patrick felt through the mate bond that she died as their connection broke. She was also pregnant like Aana '' Aana kept her hand on her lips shockingly and a tear rolled from her eyes while I was trying to accommodate the news that I received just now. Something is the worst happening around the pack about which I know nothing.
