Resisted By An Alpha

Chapter 17

Third person pov

Ashton was feeling content to be with his mate at least for a while. His mate. His other half. And he was thankful to the Moon Goddess to give him her blessing. While growing up being Aaron’s wolf, he always thought he is not capable of loving someone or even have a mate. He always thought the Moon goddess will never bless a mate to a monster which does not know anything beside killing and ruling , still he secretly hoped for a mate. But it was very difficult with the thinking of Aaron about mates. Aaron never believed in mate or he doesn’t want to believe. The only persons he cared the most was his parents. The word Love is not in his dictionary. But he can’t be the only one to blame though.

Alpha Cohen was a tough alpha. Having faught many battles for survival both with insiders and outsiders, he became stone hearted. For you to protect yourself and your pack, becoming the strongest among all is necessity. He learnt this lesson in hard way. And after the attack they faced 17 years back which nearly ambushed half of his pack in his absence. He swore that he will not let his pack down. His pack was his backbone. He will sacrifice anything and everything for his pack because they were the people who stood my his side in his darkest phase of life. And he did his best to install that thought in Aaron's mind. Cohen taught him to be a killing machine. He made him a tough, unreachable person just like him. He taught him everything but forgot to teach him how to love. He engraved empathy for his people in his mind but not love. His mother tried to teach him the meaning of love and care but Aaron didn’t get much time to spend with his mother.

When he was only 4 years old, his father started to train him how to fight to survive. In the age of playing with toys and watching cartoons, he played life games on the field and watched how his father would torcher the filthy rouges. In the age of going to school and making friends, he was home schooled till the age of 15 and learned how to handle the responsibilities of an alpha. Although Cohen was a good father, but when it came to his pack, be became cold hearted. He made Aaron's sole aim and purpose to be the strongest and protect his pack. Aaron had dreams too, but he had to sacrifice them in order to became the strongest alpha of his pack and for his pack. His mother tried to give him a normal life as much as she could. But being the only child of the most feral alpha, he was not meant to be normal. He was meant to be the feral, strong, untouchable and cunning. He was taught to fight the battles only to win. Losing is not even an option. In the field, it is do or die situation. It goes with Survival Of The Fittest rule.

He was only 9 years old when he for the first time took a life of another creature. By slitting his throat with no mercy. Other wolves experience the first shift at the age of 9 but Aaron shifted when he was just 6 years old. When a pup is born, he doesn’t get a wolf. He is same as a human baby. Then after 6 months, he gets a wolf. It’s just like our subconscious. You feel it, you can talk and listen to it. It’s almost like two souls in one body. Then at the age of 9, a pup shifts letting his wolf to take control of his body for the first time. It’s very painful. It’s almost as equal as giving birth or breaking of your 206 bones at a time.

And getting that pain just at the age of merely 6 years, Aaron survived. He survived when his wolf Ashton didn’t let him take control back for almost two days and his body started to give up due to lack of healing and rest. He was a fighter. He is a fighter.

And Ashton is damn proud of it. They are one. No matter what, he will never leave him. Ashton is cruel as equal as Aaron, maybe more. They suit each other perfectly. He is feral, lethal wolf who doesn’t give a s**t about anyone and kill his prey in the worst possible way.

He knew the kind of monster he became over the years. A monster who doesn’t give value to others life, a monster who knows how get anything with manipulation, power and force.

He never felt an ounce of guilt when he slit throats of five rouges at a time with a sword. He didn’t feel anything when he took out the intestines of an alive rouge with his bare claws. Nothing. No guilt, no sadness, no remorse, nothing at all. All he felt was satisfaction to his twisted mind. Seeing them in fear made him feel satisfied and powerful.

He knew by doing this, what kind of monster he is becoming, but didn’t care. In the werewolf world, an alpha needs to protect his pack from all the threats. The one who is strong and powerful remains in the game and others has to submit. The cruelty and wickedness of the supernatural world is far from the humans can think. So you have to remain the strongest that no one can treat you like the dirt of their feet.

So he became the one he never wished to be. A monster. A cruel and wicked monster.

But somewhere in his tainted heart, there was a spot which still remained untainted. A spot of his other half, his mate. No matter how much Aaron despised the idea of having a mate, Ashton still prayed for a mate. He knew only his mate can make him less of a monster that he is. So he prayed to the Moon Goddess as much as he could.

And the Moon Goddess accepted his prayings and granted him a mate. Though she is a human, she is his mate. The one who he desired the most in his entire life. He was sad that she is not a werewolf, that she doesn’t have a wolf. But he was still grateful to have a mate despite of his distaste towards human. He already accepted her just the way she is.

He couldn’t be more happy than having his mate beside him. But that asshole has to ruin it. Dumbass! Ashton always tried to make Aaron understand the importance of mate in their life. But no. He has to be a dumbfuck. He doesn’t want a mate but Ashton wants her more than anything else. So he tried, still trying to make him understand but what will he do when that asshole constantly blocks him not at all letting him take control because that asshole knows if he let him have the control of his body, he will definitely go towards his mate. His Nisha. The mere name of her leaves him feeling all mushy and energetic. Now he has the purpose of living.

“You are soo cute” his mate giggled while scratching his sides. He purred at the feeling. He still can’t believe he got a chance to come close to her. Moment ago, when he smelled her addicting scent of fresh oranges, chocolates and something unique, he followed the scent and came face to face with his mate. Aaron protested to not to go towards her but he knew deep down he also wants to touch her, listen her voice and stare at her as much as he can. Aaron tried to shift back, but Ashton didn’t let him. There’s no way he will let this opportunity slide away.

As he placed his head in her lap, she started caressing his head, he couldn’t be more happy today. He knew she can’t recognize him. She doesn’t know anything about werewolves. She just thought he is a normal wolf though his size tells nothing normal. He is larger than other wolves cause he is an alpha and also because he has strong alpha genes in his blood.

He felt relaxed knowing she is not afraid of him now. Instead she seems to like him. He wished the time to stop so that he can spend more time with her. She is the most beautiful creature he has ever seen. Just like Aaron, he also liked her pretty hazel eyes which are full of innocence and purity. And he will be damned if he let anything happen to her. He will always protect her and make her his. He is confident that Aaron cannot resist her and the mate bond. He will come around. He just hoped it won’t be too late.

“Now Mr big wolf, it’s late. I have to go.” He heard her saying trying to get his head out of her lap. He whined and shook his head not ready to let her go this early. Though it’s midnight but still he wants to be with her. He doesn’t know when he will get the chance like this.

“ It’s really late Mr big wolf. I have college tomorrow. I promise I will come here whenever I can. We are friends, right?” She said with a smile.

He again whined but removed his head from her lap nevertheless and seeing him like this she giggled. He sat in front of her and started licking her. She made a yucky face but didn’t say anything.

He got near her and started scenting her as his possessiveness was kicking in. Scenting between wolves is very intimate gesture. When a wolf tries to rub his scent on the other in order to make him smell like himself, it’s called scenting. Usually mates do that so no one dares to approach their mate. Some wolves also scent their pups so that the pups doesn’t get lost in the forest.

After scenting her, he let her go. She pecked his forehead and smiled towards him. He watched as she made her way through the bushes to her place. He closely followed her behind to make sure she gets home safely without her notice. When he made sure she reached home safely, he ran towards the packhouse.

When Nisha was about to enter through the backdoor after bidding her goodbye to her new friend, she got startled seeing Noah in front of the door with his arms crossed over his chest and a scowl on his handsome face.

When he first saw her, he thought how innocent and beautiful she looked. Somewhere in his heart, he felt a sudden urge to protect her like she is someone important. And it irritated him. His wolf Nate was very quiet about that and he said that something about her making him respect her and protect her but he doesn’t know what.

“Where were you?” he asked her in normal tone. He is trying to be polite with her. Because he knew how he behaved with her. And he regrets it. He felt bad that he forgot about her that day due to his match and she has to get through trouble coming home. But when his dad scolded him, it irked him. Because his dad rarely scolds him and that too when the issue is serious. So he behaved like a spoiled child that day. But later he realized his mistake. He is mature enough to understand everything.

He wanted to apologize to her but didn’t get any chance. She is nothing what he thought. When his dad told about her, he thought she is some spoiled princess. And the thing she is human was the cherry on the top. He distastes humans and keeps minimum contact with them.

He wanted to apologize to her but didn’t get any chance. At the college he noticed Aaron’s behavior when he first saw nisha. The way Aaron seemed to battling with himself when he first saw her has confused him. From that day, his best friend is behaving strange. His mind is wondering somewhere else even when he is with them.

He doubted if Nisha is his mate. Because he knows Aaron in and out. He and Kai were the only friend Aaron had in his childhood. They still lived like a normal pup but Aaron…… he didn’t get to enjoy his childhood.

Noah was observing Aaron from few days. When that bitches and morons tried to bully Nisha, he noticed how Aaron looked like about to rip their heads. He was controlling himself. He was not sure if his doubt was correct. He knew Aaron’s views about mates. Unlike him who is waiting for his mate, Aaron hated the idea of mates and love. Noah, despite being a Playboy, hopes to find his mate. It's been almost 3 years, but still he didn't find his other half.

But the doubt got cleared nowwhen he smelled the scent of Aaron all over Nisha. Nisha was smelling like Aaron. But he knew it’s Ashton’s doing. Unlike Aaron, Ashton always craved for a mate. Noah’s wolf Nate also craves for mate and now knowing Ashton also found his mate, he is becoming restless and sad. He will try to console his wolf later cause there’s some matter he needs to take care now.

He needs to apologize to her. He asked her where were she even if he knew the answer.

“I…I was just sitting near the clearing.” She replied in her soft voice.

“ Didn’t dad told you not to roam around as there are wild animals here?” he asked her in stern voice. He was worried about her. What if another wolf spotted her instead of Aaron? She would have been in danger. And the worst, what if any rouge entered the territory? Though it was very difficult but still there were chances.

“I am sorry. I won’t repeat it again.” She whispered casting her head down. When Noah questioned her, she thought he is going to scold her from the tone of his voice. She mistook it for anger. So she apologized. She didn’t want to make them more angry and hate her more.

Noah felt that she thought he is angry on her that’s why she apologized. But what could he do. It’s not everyday he interacts with humans. Humans are more sensitive than werewolves. They take everything to their heart.

“ There’s no need to apologize. But if you want to roam in the woods, ask me. It’s not safe to roam around alone.” Noah said in softer tone.

Nisha stared at her with wide eyes, not believing what he said to her. Didn’t he show her displeasure and distaste in the first place? Then what changed? She nodded nevertheless.

He himself was surprised with his tone. But he wants to be at least friendly with her.

There was a minute of silence between them. None of them spoke anything but Nisha was feeling awkward so she moved past him entering the doors but a hand stopped her.

She looked at Noah with startled expression.

“And I am sorry for my previous behavior Nisha. Hope we can be friends.” He said with sincerity.

She was shocked that he apologized and that too with so much sincerity. She felt good knowing Noah doesn’t hate her now. He looked sincere when he apologized. So why drag this more?

She smiled at him and nodded her head.

“Good night Noah” she said and started walking towards her room.

Noah smiled at her retrieving figure and went towards his room. He needs to talk to Aaron as soon as possible.

When Noah and Nisha were busy talking, they didn’t notice the pair of light green eyes watching them with anger and throwing daggers of hate and distaste towards Nisha with those eyes.
