Chapter 24
HAYLEY’S POV
“Hayley, Hayley” Alessa’s disturbing voice resounded in my head, distorting the train of thoughts. “Aiden’s gone,”
I knew very well that he ran into the bushes, but that was the least of my problems.
Aiden’s transformation, this was very alarming.
Alessa’s reaction to Aiden’s raging departure only made me brew up more anger.
“Where does he think he’s going?, Does he think he can leave me this way?,” The wailing from her irritated me further. I chose to ignore her “Why aren’t you going after him, I thought you loved him?” She seethed, staring at me.
I still stood there saying nothing.
“If you won’t go, I will.” She snapped at me.
She dashed towards the direction Aiden went in screaming the words. “My alpha wait, you can’t just leave me here.” She raced into the wild.
*************
“It happened so fast, I couldn’t believe my eyes, was I the reason he changed?, was he angry at me?” I muttered to myself when I got into the locker room close to the fountain where we stood.
“It’s all Alessa’s fault, I tried to make sure our relationship worked out fine.”
“She’s always been as cunning as a fox, seeing her that way didn’t surprise me, but why did it have so much effect on Aiden?”
I impatiently thought as I paced up and down the room.
Mina and Mona ran up to me.
“What was that about.”
“We saw Aiden, what did Alessa do?”
“Why did she run off like that.”
“.. and why didn’t you go after Aiden?”
They rushed their words at me, leaving no space for me to respond.
“Won’t you guys calm down? Aiden will come back, he is fine”
“Alessa is out there, searching for him, what if she finds him?”
“She finds him and then what?” “I’m currently not subjecting myself to any position where I have to worry about Aiden”
I uttered those words but deep down, I knew I cared.
“We know you’re mad, for reasons we aren’t sure of” Mina came closer to where I stood.
“But would you think what would happen if mistakenly, Alessa had her way with him.”
That statement brought back the originator of the issue I have with Aiden.
“Come to think about it, Aiden told me that Dad arranged a mate for him, although he hadn’t seen who it was.”
“Could Alessa just be a bait to destroy and come between me and Aiden?”
I dashed out of the room, and went after Alessa with one thought ringing in my head.
‘not letting her raise her dirty paws on Aiden.’
“Not again, I will stand against the heavens and the earth, I don’t care who I’m going to face, my mum or my step father,” the determination in my voice was alarming.
I have been hurt before, trampled upon and heartbroken by people, even by the one I have my heart to at first, Holland, that bastard and he doesn’t even hold a candle to Aiden’s charisma.
I have fallen head over heels for him and I can’t lose him, not to Alessa, not to his dad, not to anyone, not this time.
Running through the trees, I could feel my blood rushing through my paws and legs. I could hear the sound of my heart beating so fast, I’ve never ran this fast.
My hormones are messing with my head and the scent of flowers clouded the scent of Aiden.
Aiden was more than precious to me. Right from the moment we met, I found it quite difficult to let him.All content is © N0velDrama.Org.
I had never seen eyes so captivating, he was one with the universe.
In this moment that universe came crashing down in front of my eyes.
I followed for a long time before I decided to give up the chase
There was no trace of Alessa, neither of them were there and in sight.
‘Aiden will come back when he’s ready’
I thought about it and left for home.

“Mum Aiden is acting weird all of a sudden.”
She furrowed her brows. “Why are you still on about him? We’ve talked about…”
“Mum I’m not ready for your sermon once more, still mad at you but I’ll ask this one question”
She nodded. I was still fully aware that she threatened to end my very essence.
“ok?, It’s about Aiden” I hesitated a bit before proceeding.
“The next Alpha, your brother, you should stop fantasizing over nonsense” she snapped at me.
“Your conspiracy with aunt Jada, I’m yet to forgive you mum, why would someone who claims to be my mother want to eliminate me?”
“Darling” she started with a soothing voice, but I heard what I heard that day and there’s no convincing me. “Whatever are you talking about?”
I only stared at her with my hands akimbo.
“I just feel Aiden is in danger. I don’t even know why I’m getting this nervous feeling at all.” I said, ignoring her prior comment. I knew this wasn’t the right time to bring it up. I’m here for Aiden.
“What makes you think that?”
“I don’t know.” I stated, really unsure. But my emotions couldn’t help but spiral out of control.
My mum’s phone rang, she looked at me and then back at her phone.
I had a gut feeling that it was aunt Jada, and she wasn’t picking it up because I was there, but I wasn’t going to drown myself in that, not now.
Now I needed to find Aiden and fix things with him.
“Take your call, I’m not stopping you” I sarcastically told my mum and smirked at her as I turned to leave.
“It’s not..” she started talking but was interrupted by an alarming voice coming from the front yard.
“Aiden, Aiden’s been hurt, Aiden has been attacked”
My entire body shook, I dashed out of the house to see Alessa wailing.
“Aiden? What happened to him?”
“I was in search of him and I heard a loud growl. I followed it and it led me to Aiden, lying close to a dead rogue, he is unconscious”
I turned to my mum and then back to Alessa.
“Take me there,”
