Chapter 80: Chapter 80

No One Pov's

.

Aaron was going towards his office after settling everything at the police station and clearing Aana's name from the case. That's when his eyes went to Aana who was sitting on the bench of the street looking at the sky and laughing like a maniac. He immediately applied the break and checked the time on his watch, it was midnight.

"What is she doing here in the middle of the night?" he thought and hopped down from his car and went near her.

"Pearl" Aana looked at Aaron's side when he called her. She was so lost in complaining to the moon goddess that she didn't even realise when the moon goddess sent the solution to her problem.

Aana could see how surprised and worried Aaron was after finding her seated on the street bench in the middle of the night. She turned her face in another direction, fuming in anger.

"What are you doing here at midnight?" He asked and looked around, finding not a single person on the street.

"I'm celebrating the new year" She mocked and stood up from the bench.

"It's April, Aana" he muttered confusingly.

"Ohh really?" She gave him a shocked expression.

"If you didn't tell me, I would have thought that it is the month of January." She scoffed and turned her heels to go. Aaron rolled his eyes and went to her.

"Pearl" Aaron muttered and came in front of her.

"I'm serious... What are you doing here in the middle of the night?" He asked again, looking into her eyes. She could feel how worried he was for her.

"My brother threw me out of his house" She replied and crossed him, walking on the street. He was surprised upon hearing him. He started walking by her side, not knowing what he should say or ask after that.

"Did he ask you to leave because of today's incident?" Aaron asked after a while. Aana didn't say a word to him. He held her hand when she was about to take turn to god knows where.

"Where are you going?" He asked.

"You shouldn't care about that" She snarled and detached her hand from his and again started walking, leaving him behind.

"Pearl" he called her. Aana ignored him and kept walking while he was calling her continuously.

"Pearl" he called her again.

"What?" she yelled frustratingly and turned towards him. He came to her and held her hand.

"I'm sorry for getting mad at you in the police station," he muttered. Instead of replying, Aana kicks his foot with her shoes.

"Aah... What the hell?" He groaned.

"Sorry, my foot!" She screeched and was about to take a turn again but he didn't leave her hand instead pulled her closer and encircled his other hand around her waist.

"Leave me" She muttered, pretending to struggle in his arms.

"Never... I will never leave you, Pearl" She looked at him abruptly. Again she finds herself lost in his eyes which are deep like an ocean and filled with love.

"If you wanted to get out of my hold then you could easily push me away... I didn't hold you that tightly." he chuckled when she rolled her eyes. "That's a different story, Pearl. You can't go because I bind you with the thread of my love" He muttered looking into his eyes. She didn't say a word to him, knowing he was right. He is indeed binding him in his love.

"Why Alice didn't heal her till now?" Rex asked, looking at Aana's swollen cheeks. Aana hissed when Aaron touched her left cheek with his other hand.

"Sorry," he muttered and looked at his cheek which turned a little blue.

"He will shed the tears of blood," he said, gritting his teeth. Aana could feel his grip tighten her waist. A smile appeared on her face when he held her passively.

"I'm fine" She muttered, keeping her one hand on his chest and moving the other on his arm up and down to calm him. Her smile grew wider when it worked and he calmed down immediately.

"Why didn't Alice heal you?" He asked the question which is bothering him the most.

"She is unconscious" She muttered and distanced herself from him.

"Why? What happened to her?" he asked, almost panicking.

"Relax… She is fine"

"But you just said she is unconscious" He shrieked.

"Aaron" She made him look at her.

"Alice is fine. She is unconscious because of the tablets I took to control her and bear the pain of the heat." She muttered, widening his eyes.

"You were on heat?" He asked shockingly. She nodded her head.

"When and why didn't you inform me?"

"Two days ago. When I was decorating your office, I realised that I'm in my heat. I find it better to go home before I would have ended up doing some stupidity." She muttered and moved away from him.

"Then why did you lie to me about going to your parents instead of telling me that you're on heat" He growled. She ignored him and turned her face in another direction. He held her by the elbow and made her look at him.

"I'm asking you something, Pearl." He growled, making her flinch. Aana didn't reply and pushed him away.

"Behave Aaron. I will not take any kind of misbehaviour" she snarled.

"Do the fuck with my behaviour. Tell me why you didn't tell me?" He yelled.

"Because I'm not obliged to tell you anything. I'm not your servant" She answered in the same pitch as Aaron, which was doing nothing but increasing his temper. Aana was about to cross him when Aaron held her hand and pulled her back.

"Where are you going?" He asked, controlling his temper.

"Didn't I say, I'm not obliged to answer you?" She said, frowning at the way he was yelling at her.

"Pearl" he groaned and turned his face in another direction, taking a deep breath. Aaron doesn't want to yell at her but she was not leaving a chance to increase his temper.

"Come with me" He mumbled after a while.

"What?"

"Listen, Pearl... I had enough of your nonsense. I can't leave you here alone in the street at midnight. Please try to understand and come with me." He said softly.

"And where will you take me to your house?" She scoffed and released her hand from his grip.

"Thank you for your help, Mr. Aaron but I don't need it. I can understand your concern for me but I don't want to get used to it because I know once I start trusting you then you will also abandon me" She said and pushed Aaron away.

"Moreover, when I asked you to stay with me, you sent me to Christian. So now you don't have any right to help me or ask me to come with you" she hissed. Aaron opened his mouth to say something but then closed it, realising his mistake. That time, she clearly told him not to leave her.

"I'm sorry" He muttered.

"I don't need you and your sorry" She scoffed and turned to go away from him. This time Aaron didn't hold her hand but instead picked her up in his arms.

"Aaron" she gasped.

"You didn't leave any option for me" He rolled his eyes and started taking her toward his car. Aana started wriggling in his arms to get out of his hold and all her struggle was giving him a hard time.

"Stop wriggling Aana otherwise I would end up fucking you here in the middle of the street" Aaron muttered frustratingly, widening her eyes. She stopped struggling and glared at him angrily. Aaron put her down after reaching his car.

"seat inside the car," he said in a stern tone.

"And you think I will follow your instructions?" she laughed sarcastically. She gasped when he held her hand and pinned her against the car. He put his hand both on her side, caging her between the car and him. She didn't avert her eyes from him, peering into his eyes.

"Why are you testing my patience, Pearl? Why can't you listen to me for once" he yelled, making her flinch.

"I'm already in a bad mood Aaron.. move back otherwise you will regret it" She warned him but he took her warning as a fake threat.

"And what will you do?" he smirked but soon his smirk turned into shock when Aana kicked his ball with her knees. His eyes almost popped out while Aana smirked when moved back.

"Moon goddess," He yelled.

"I never give a fake threat" She grinned and looked at Aaron who sat on the ground, cursing in pain holding his crotch.
