His Surprise Mate

Chapter 13 The Move

Aaron

Everything was going well and I was about to kiss Rebekah but the universe had other plans and the stupid rogues chose to attack our borders the very moment. I don't think I have been this pissed in my entire life.

I locked Rebekah in the secret room I have in my library but something feels off. I know for a fact that she knows how to fight and can protect herself but the way she just let me push her in the room and the way she just stood there is bothering me. I know I am being an i***t or else why would I want a fighting mate when I have an obedient one but that's the issue I guess, I don't want Rebekah to be quite and obedient or anything she is not. I want her to be herself. The fierce and strong girl, who punched me in the face.

Lost in my thoughts I reach the Southern Border of the territory and see what a blood bath it is here. Jax and Cole are killing the rogues with a few of our best warriors and from the corner of my eye I see Kaden putting a passed out female rogue on his shoulder and walking away.

"Good. We'll have someone to ask questions about this stupidity." Ace says in the back of my head and I let him take over and turn into a giant wolf. My paws dug into the mud as I charge towards the rogues and start killing them.

It takes not more than 5 minutes for us to kill all the rogues without any casualties on our side.

Jax orders a few of his men to get rid of all the bodies and leaves to get some answers from the rogue Kaden caught.

Cole and I stay back a few more minutes to check fir anything suspicious.

"Do they really think they'll be able to do anything by attacking the Royal territory Alpha?" Kaden asks while kicking one of the rogue in his way.

"Of course not but what is really bothering me is the increase in the frequency of these attacks. Who ever sent them here is definitely up to something and will be sending more. I want more men here and near the cottages by the lake. Make sure that the families there are untouched by these attacks."

"Yes Alpha. Do you think all this is related to the prophecy Kaden told us about?"

"Could be. Just make sure that this is under wraps and no one gets to know about the prophecy. Especially my mother, she'll create a lot of unnecessary drama." I added and left before he could even reply.

A sudden drop in my stomach is all I could feel before I find myself running in my supernatural speed to Rebekah. I knew something was wrong when I locked her in there and now I am feeling everything I never thought I could.

As soon as I reach the secret room my heart stops as the door to it is open and Rebekah is nowhere to be found.

Panic hits me in waves and I feel Ace howling in pain and anger. He is angry at me for leaving her here without any explanation and now she isn't here. Before I could do anything else Ace takes over me and starts to smell the area.

We couldn't pick up any other scent except mine and Rebekah's coffee one meaning no one else was here and she somehow got out on her own. I feel a little at ease and even proud of her that she escaped in so little time.

Without wasting any time, Ace starts following her scent and I find myself standing in front of Rebekah's nursery. It us still a nursery because no one had it in them to change a thing which was related to the all powerful Lord Steve, and my my parents let it be that way as they were sure that one day Steve would back for a closure.

With my supernatural hearing I could hear Rebekah's heart beat and her fast breathes without even entering the room.

I knock on the door and without asking who was it Rebekah replies to just come in. I enter the room and Ace resorts back after making sure she isn't hurt.

She is standing facing the forest and as much as I want to hold her in my arms I know better than that.

What? I have lived a long life. I picked up on human behavior a long time ago. Even vampire and werewolf behavior in my case.

"Are you alright?" I asked her standing on her left facing the forest as well.

"Yes, I am fine." She murmurs.

"I am so sorry I locked you in the library. I panicked and didn't know what else to do." o try to explain.

I expected her to scream at me or something but she just simply murmurs again.

"No hard feelings. It's alright. You are new to this and so am I, so it's only normal that we make mistake."

"Rebekah, I-" She cuts me off with her hand and goes on.

"I get it Aaron but we made another mistake of moving together so fast. I am still a human and not a werewolf, I should get some time for all this. I have decided that I would move here for some time and if, if I feel that I am okay with being so close to you. I'll make back with you. Please, I deserve this much. I am already going against everything I believe by being with you, I deserve some time and my own space."

I don't know why I agree to this but I tell her that I'll get someone to get her stuff from our, no my room.

I leave her room and go straight for the woods. I let myself free and turn into my wolf. Ace is usually happy when we come to run but lately with all the black outs I've been having, Ace is just meh with this but today he is more than quite, maybe even angry that I agreed to Rebekah moving out of our room.

I run and run through the forest and after the sun sets I come back to my room. I see that Rebekah's stuff is gone but her beautiful coffee, rosy and oceanic smell lingers in the room.

I take a quick shower and lay on my bed and then it hits me that she has been here only for two days and how much her presence effects me. Even last night I wanted to hold her in my arms the way I did the night before but I had to leave to look into the rogue attacks and invitation for the stupid ball.

I have never been tired before but today has taken a toll on me, especially letting Rebekah go to her room. I push all the thoughts away and try to sleep so that tomorrow I can start winning her and getting her to trust me. Tomorrow I'll get her to start fall in love with me.

Rebekah

When I told dad that I would be staying in my old room and that he gets me big bed as I can't really sleep a crib, he gave me a sad smile and asked if he should punch Aaron or if we should just leave this continent altogether. I told him to not be so dramatic about it and that I asked Aaron for some time and space and that he actually agreed to which he gave me side eyes but still got the bed and all the other stuff that it took us about four hours to get the room clean and set for a 19 year old. Dad's word not mine.

I messaged Marissa and Brian and told them about everything to which Marissa said to not leave the Alpha King alone and Brian told me to just leave everything here and come back home. I simply told then that I am not taking any of their for now and then started reading the book Brian got me on my birthday.

I am currently halfway through it when I feel sleepy. I stand up from the bean bag and go lay down on the new bed. Dad went overboard and got me a queen size bed instead of the normal big bed I asked. He even got a new dressing table, mirror, Almira and even installed a tree shaped book shelf on one of the wall. The room was fine on its on but all these things that dad got despite me telling him no makes it so much cozy and homelike, especially the bean bag because I love reading on it and dad knows that.

The room is average in size with huge windows on two sides, one facing the forest and the other facing the ocean.

I was about to fall asleep when I hear Aaron's hushed voice. It felt like he was saying something in my ear about getting me to fall in love with him. I felt my eyes growing heavier by every second and the last thing I remember before drifted off are the Green eyes I fell in love with today.
