Chapter 172: Chapter 172

Aana Pov's

.

Aaron broke the hug and removed the strand of hair coming on my face lovingly before kissing my forehead, bringing a smile to my face.

"I'm sorry for uttering those shitty words. I know you don't give a damn to Luna's position. It is just this pack and their members' expectations irks me. I came here only for you and our pups otherwise I wouldn't have come back here" I tightened my lips, not to say anything rude to him, knowing if I said the same thing as others about fulfilling his responsibility then he would also push me away like other pack members. I had to make him understand things like a child who is stubborn not to listen to anything. I have to make him realise his responsibility but it can't be done by simple talk. I have to do it differently.

"Why are you standing?" I came out of my thoughts with Aaron's words. He made me sit on the bed and then kneel in front of me.

"You left the room in anger and came back with red eyes. What happened? Did anyone say something to you?" Tears welled up in my eyes remembering Patrick's words. I nod my head negatively.

"Then why are you crying?" he asked, wiping the tears from the corner of my eyes.

"Patrick told me everything" he scrunched his eyebrow.

"About what?"

"He told me that you took wolfsbane on our wedding day" I sobbed. He left my hand and his body stiffened with the memories of the harsh day of our love life.

"He told me how you and Rex were calling my name in pain and also how you searched for me after getting recovered" He stood up and sat beside me on the bed. I was staring at him, waiting for him to say something.

"You love me so much that you were searching for me and there I was thinking that you don't love me the way I love you that's why you reject me."

"I was not in my senses otherwise I can't even imagine taking a breath without you" I closed my eyes upon hearing his words and a smile formed on my lips feeling blessed to have him. he loves me so much that he set a different bar for all the lovers in the world which no one can beat.

"I love you that's why I searched for you but you don't love me, Pearl" I opened my eyes and looked at him with complaining eyes. how he can doubt my love for him.

"If you loved me then you wouldn't have left me alone that day" he said in a complaining tone with tears-filled eyes. I nod my head negatively.

"I never left you, Aaron. It was you who pushed me."

"Because I was not in my senses." He yelled and kept his hand on mine. "you had a choice to stay by my side, Aana… To fight with me for our love but you chose to move away. You chose to leave me alone" He said leaving me stunned with his words. He was right. In these two months, I only thought that he pushed me away but didn't realise that I didn't fight with him for our love. I was about to apologise to him. That's when I remember how I tried to tell him that I didn't cheat on him but he didn't give me a chance to explain myself.

"Maybe I moved away because you accused me of something unbearable for me"

"Or maybe you find it better to leave rather than hold me. Maybe you find it better to leave me with a misunderstanding instead of fighting with me for our love" he said, leaving me speechless. I wanted to yell at him for not giving me a chance that day and wanted to fight with him for not trusting me but I can't do that. I can't blame him when I give him a thousand reasons to doubt me and my love. In the end, he is a human, not a god.

Aaron and I had a fabulous bonding. We love each other more than ourselves but we lack one important thing which is required in a relationship: communication and it's not his fault but mine. He always asks me about my past and I always run away from the conversation. He understood that it's not easy for me to communicate my feelings but I didn't understand him when he was going through the battle of trust and doubts. I didn't give him the reassurance that a partner needs in a relationship. I knew he loved me a lot and would never leave me. Instead of being grateful, I took his love for me for granted. I always thought that he would never leave me. That's why I didn't put efforts into making him believe in me and our love. It was always him.

Tears were continuously falling from my eyes realising the mistakes I made in my relationship. I turned my head towards him, only to find his eyes on me. He wiped my tears lovingly.

"Let's not cry over things about which we can't do anything. Present matters and we are together in it" I nod my head and take his hand in mine then kiss his knuckles.

"Thank you so much for loving me this much and for not giving up on me and our love" He smiled and nodded his head.

"I didn't give up because I know you love me in the same way as I do," he muttered, bringing a smile to my face. I didn't reply and attached my lips to his, kissing him passionately, pouring my love for him in the kiss while he responded to me with equal desire, love and passion.

He parted away from me when I went out of breath and gently locked my hair behind my ear with love. We both were looking into each other's eyes with love before attacking each other's lips. This time we were kissing each other wildly. The next thing I knew was that I was lying under him on the bed.

We both make love to each other passionately. He was handling me gently and with lots of love. We both came together. He lay down beside me and caressed my belly lovingly before kissing my forehead.

"I love you" he again confessed his love which was enough to bring a smile to my face despite being tired.

"I love you too" I replied before closing my eyes and soon darkness consumed me. I slept in his arms.

.

"Pearl" I opened my lazy eyes when Aaron shook my body.

"What happened? I want to sleep more" I mumbled.

"No… It's dinner time.. wake up" he said in a stern tone and made me sit on the bed. I looked at him and then myself, we both were fully dressed. He must have cleaned me and made me wear my clothes after I dozed off. I smiled and rested my head on his chest.

"I'm feeling sleepy" I yawned.

"After dinner, you can sleep if you want but right now, get up," he muttered and helped me to stand up. We both went to the dining area where dinner was already served for both of us and surprisingly everything was Aaron's favourite. I smiled and looked at the lady who was dressed up as a chief. It didn't take me long to understand that she prepared everything.

"They all are your favourite dishes' ' I muttered while sitting on the chair that Aaron pulled for me. He nodded his head and sat beside me.

"Yum.. It's delicious" I complimented after taking the first bite.

"Thank you, Luna. I'm glad that you like it" that lady chief replied with a big smile.

"She is not your Luna neither I'm your Alpha '' Her smile vanished with Aaron's rude reply. She bowed her head before leaving the dining area.

"What was the need of being rude?" I frowned.

"She was calling you, Luna. I just corrected her."

"You were correcting her or reminding yourself that you're not Alpha of this pack?" I scoffed. he scrunched his eyebrow at my words.

"Whether you accept it or not, You got used to running away from the people you love, Aaron. She prepared favourite dishes with so much love and instead of thanking her, you replied to her rudely."

"I didn't want to but she called you, Luna and that pissed me off"

"You don't want to become their Alpha… That's fine... it's your choice but you can't stop them from loving you because of this reason. you're the son of their former Alpha Watson. they loved you as their Alpha's son. You should be grateful. instead of reminding them that you're not their Alpha, love them back" I muttered and resumed eating. I look at him from the side gaze, only to find him lost in thoughts. I smiled knowing that he didn't ignore my words but thinking about it. I hope my little efforts can bring him back to his people.

"Please moon goddess, help me with my mission of making this Alpha realise his responsibilities."
