Alpha's Betted Bride

Chapter 11.

I got in the shower and sunk down on the floor, letting the beams of the water hit me all over my body.

I turned of the nussel and got out after thirty minutes or so and dried myself of before putting on my pyjamas.

I asumed Aiden had left with Cole so I was surprised when I saw him laying in bed on top of the covers. He was wearing nothing but shorts. One of his arms was placed behind his head and the other rested on his stomach with his phone in hand.

He opened one eye and peaked at me. His eye went down my bare legs before he closed them again. I walked around the bed and pulled the covers as I crawled down. I turned my back against him and with wide opened eyes I stared at the wall.

How did I look at him after what happened and would it happen again? It freaked me out just thinking about it. I always said that I would save myself for my mate and that hadn't changed. I was a virgin and given the fact that I had been married of to a stranger, I didn't know what to think anymore.

What happened to love and the mate bond that people couldn't shut up about. The one thing we all strive to find one day. This wasn't it, this was not the fairytale that I had been promised.

My eyes shut closed and then opened again after a few seconds. I couldn't sleep, there were to many thoughts spinning around in my head and I wasn't comfortable in this position. I wanted to drag the cover and hug it but when I tried and pull it, it didn't move.

I pulled again and groaned when he wasn't lifting so that I could pull it around me.

"Seriously?" I asked after the third pull and sat up as I faced him.

"What?"

"I can't pull the cover." I said in an annoyed tone.

"I know," his eyes were still closed. The phone in his hand rang and he had it by his ear right away. His eyes opened, he side-eyed me and sat up.

"Coming." He said and got up from the bed. He opened the door and then he was gone. I let out a breath of relief and pulled the cover tightly around my body.

When he wasn't here I suddenly relaxed and my thoughts became a distant memory, thank goodness.

I woke up in panic and leaned up in the bed when the door slammed shut to the room. Aiden stepped in, his nostrils were flaring and he was looking out the window. He paced around the room for a few seconds and then slammed his fist into the wall.

"Aiden," I said and sat up further.

It was pitch black outside and all I could see was the slightest light from the moon since the drapes weren't drawn.

I looked at the clock and it was three at night. Aiden had just gotten back from wherever he had taken off too in a hurry before I fell a sleep.

I rubbed my eyes and stepped down on the floor. Aiden was just standing by the window, staring out into the night and as I approached him he didn't turn around.

"Aiden," I said quietly and walked closer.

I gently raised my hand and touched his arm. A yelp escaped my lips as he turned around, grabbed my arm and pressed me back onto the wall. His hand gripped a hold of my jaw and he pressed into me. His eyes were obsidian and his breathing was ragged.

My heart was beating quickly and it felt like it was about to pop out of my chest. My eyes were widely staring into his and he looked unhinged.

His lips formed a thin line and his hold tightened before he pushed of and turned around. He raked a hand through his hair and I saw the wounds on his knuckles and some on his arm. They were healing but they were fresh and the blood was slowly dripping down.

I held my breath as I stepped away from the wall.

I went over to Aidens side of the bed and removed the cover, I drew the drapes shut and went back to bed.

As i laid down for a few seconds I felt the other side dipping down as Aiden got into bed. His arm came around my body and I was pulled back against him.

My body stiffened and I squirmed under his hold. His face nussled into my neck and he tightened his hold.

"Please, just...please," he said softly and relaxed his arm. I gulped and my body relaxed into his touch, he pulled me back further and I closed my eyes.

When I woke up Aiden hadn't gotten up. His arm was still hanging over me and his face was burrowed into my hair. The clock was ten and my eyes widened. My stomach growled and I desperately wanted coffee. In the most careful and slow way, I lifted his arm which weighed a ton and moved my body away from his.

I placed it down carefully and got up from bed. He groaned and turned to his stomach as he placed the pillow over his head.

I picked out my outfit for the day and as I looked outside it was sunny with a little fog so I opted for a long sleeve dress. I put on my channel ballet shoes and went downstairs.

The chatter immediately slammed me in the face and I remembered yesterdays scene in the dining hall but this time three people were added to list of faces I didn't want to see.

It was just as packed as yesterday but most of them had eaten and were just sitting around and talking.

I took slow steps toward the table were Marie was sitting and talking to Cole.

"Hey, Gabby," I groaned and stopped when Melina stepped in front of me.

Sam was siting at the table next to us with the other two girls and some other people I hadn't had the pleasure of meeting, and hopefully wouldn't.

"I just wanted to say thanks for the new outfits, they're going to look great at the club tonight. Are you coming?" She asked sweetly but her underlying tone had an edge to it. She smirked and tilted her head to the side mockingly. I heard giggling coming from the table next to me and my nerves were rising quickly.

I stepped toward her and lifted my head.

"No, i prefer good company," I said and smiled sweetly at her. Melina scoffed and placed her hands on her waist and tilted her hip out.

Her eyes shifted and she looked behind me, she flicked her hair over her shoulder and a cat-like smile grew on her face.

"Hey, Aiden," Oh shit.

"Move." He said and Melinas eyes fell as she stepped to the side. His voice was dark and husky, he must've gotten up just after I did.

"See you later then," she under her breath and the giggling stoped. I could feel their eyes burning into the back of my head but I assumed they came mostly from one person.

Aiden placed his hand on my lower back and carefully nudged me forward.

We sat down at the table and I turned my head too look at the table where the girls were sitting. Sam was glaring at me, Melina was scowling and talking to the others and no one looked happy. This was just what I needed.

"You two slept in this morning, especially you, Aiden," Marie said and her smile was somewhat worrisome as she looked at her son.

"Is everything alright?" She asked him and took a sip from her coffee.

Aiden didn't answer, he poured a cup of coffee and closed his eyes as he drank it.

"How is he?" Aiden finally asked and looked at his mom.

"He will be just fine. Doctors said as good as new by the end of tomorrow," She said and smiled loinvgly at him.

"Is somebody hurt?" I asked and looked around the table.

"Nothing you ned to worry your pretty little head with," Cole said and winked. I clenched my jaw and turned to Marie.

"Ouch," Cole said and jumped in his chair. His eyes met Maries and her lips turned up in a smile.

"There was a rogue attack yesterday and Bob was hurt badly but he'll be okay," Marie said.

So that's what Aiden had been pissed about when he came back.
