Aderyn Pov

“Now speak up!” I said as I tapped my foot impatiently on the floor.

“Why are you so impatient?” Dylan complained as he styled his hair using his hand. I looked at him through the mirror and then glared at him.

“Yeah! Yeah! Your hair is perfect already. Leave it and will you answer my questions now?” I asked as I waited for him to speak.

“Oh shut up already” I heard him mutter and I stomped my feet.

“Fine!” I gave up and turned back walking out of his room, means my room.

“What will you have for Breakfast Lu- uh Aderyn?” Greta asked and I gave her an incredulous look.

“So, now you are asking what to make for breakfast? You never asked me before so why now?” I questioned

She stood quietly waiting for my reply.

“Fine! Make whatever you want” I said as I walked towards the living room and sat on the sofa leaning against it and closed my eyes.

“How is your leg?” I heard Dylan’s voice after some minutes.

I kept quiet not answering his question. If he can’t answer my question then why should I?

I heard him sighing and minutes later some shuffling sound. Still I didn’t bother to open my eyes.

I felt him touching my sprained leg. Immediately, tingles formed wherever he touched and the fact that I was wearing a short pant which ended up on my knee didn’t help.

My palms formed into a fist as I struggled myself from any kind of reaction due to his mere touch.

“Its still swollen” he muttered probably examining my foot.

He kept my leg on his thigh and began to trace on it using his finger, sending more tingles and this time I curled my toes not able to stop myself from controlling the weird feeling.

“I know you are having a tingling sensation wherever I touch” he spoke out of the blue.

“What the-” how did he know that? I thought to myself.

“And you must be thinking how did I know that right? Cause I can feel it too” he said I furrowed my eyebrows questionably still not opening my eyes.

“Feel it too?” I found myself whispering.

“Bell must have told you everything about us. Probably everything. But there is still something you still do not know and she left it for me to explain it to you”.

Hearing about Bell my heart warmed up and even clenched. I didn’t meet to bid her goodbye when I left. She must be very sad as well as angry upon me. Anyone in her place would have reacted the same way.

“You know right I am also a werewolf? Not just some werewolf but Alpha of Alphas. The King” he spoke as he held my foot and rubbed it using his palms.

Though it was aching, but his touch was like soothing it.

“Every werewolf needs a mate. A mate is a soul mate of a werewolf. At first I use to think that I would never have a mate like other werewolves. I already has so much responsibilities upon me that I never even thought about it.”

“You know everything about my past right?” He asked and unknowingly applied pressure on my foot which made me to wince in pain.

“Sorry. I am so sorry” his voice was filled with regret as he tried to ease the pain slowly rubbing on that foot.

I knew he did that unintentionally. His past was a very sensitive topic for him and it pained him whenever he recalls it. Just like mine.

“I am so stupid. I hurt you every time but trust me it was always unintentional” his voice filled with regret and immediately I don’t know why but I wanted to console him but I held myself from doing so.

“You have seen Cole with his mate Jenny right?”

“They love each other so much. None of them could stay away from each other for a single day. When Jenny left for her pack Cole was so sad but he wanted her happiness. He let her go but made sure to call her everyday at least two times just to know if she was alright.”

“That’s the mate bond.”

“Mate bond” he stopped and I heard him chuckling and then he continued “It makes you do silly things. At first, I thought it as useless and Childish hearing and witnessing what mate bond did to werewolves but now I can’t even explain how I am feeling right now”.copy right hot novel pub
