Mirela didn't have words to tell him, she was just terrified. She didn't know how he followed her even after she washed her scent away. Her body was trembling, her heart was hammering against her chest with horror.
Watching how angry he was, she slowly took a few steps back wanting to run. Soon, her action was stopped by his loud and furious growl. She hugged Ahren tightly, not wanting Ascian to see him. Even though he was the father, she didn't want to.
"You really played well"
His calm tone pulled her into a deadly abyss. Ascian Lucas becoming calm and silent means nothing but death. She knew him, she had heard about him even before she met him and found he was her mate.
Helpless tears filled her eyes, she was scared and hurt. Her body became numb and the pain of her wounds were killing her. She has no wolf to heal her and she's nothing but a human now. Everything haunted her and she buried her face against her little son's shoulder.
"Momma.. Why crying?"
She shook her head immediately and looked at him before looking at Ascian, who was looking at the boy in her arms. She was helpless and now she has nowhere to escape. He had seen her secret and she knew he knew that the boy was his son.
"Ahren, come to daddy"
Hearing what he said, her heart tightened. He still remembers the name and he even called it without hesitation. As he said that the little body immediately turned his head and looked at Ascian. Mirela didn't miss the little smile on his face as he heard the word daddy.
Then she looked at Ascian who was smiling at him with a warm and love filled gaze. She clenched her jaws and looked away from him. She was hurt, and she didn't believe him. She will never believe him because of what happened between them.
"Daddy?"
She heard Ahren's little and happiness filled voice, she didn't want to hurt him seeing how happy he was.
"Yes, come to daddy."
Ascian smiled and walked towards her, as he took Ahren to him. She watched him and he looked into her eyes. She immediately looked away from him and sighed. Soon she heard Ahren's giggles and she looked at them to see Ascian was throwing him to the air and catching him.
She watched them for a while and her vision slowly turned blurred, her head started to ache. All of a sudden her vision turned black before her body became numb and darkness took over her.
"Why is she not waking up?"
Mirela opened her eyes with the angry voice of Ascian. She looked around but her vision was still blurred. Then slowly she could see clearly, she looked at Ascian who had a furious look as he looked at the doctor.
"Ascian…"
She spoke in a low voice, then he looked at her and sighed in relief. After the doctor checked her for a while again, he left the room. Ascian walked towards her and sat on the bed. He raised his arm and caressed her face.
"You were unconscious for three days"
She heard him saying and soon her mind went blank, then where is her son? Her eyes moistened and she looked at him with a fear filled face before catching his arm. He was caressing her face.
"Where? Where is he? You didn't do anything to him right?"
Her voice was trembling, she was scared with the thought of him hurting her son. Tears filled in her eyes as she looked at him. She saw the way his eyes turned something too strange, he pulled his hand from her and stood up from the bed.
"Why didn't you tell me that you wanted to go to him? Go to my son"
"You just hid his existence from me"
His voice was calm, there was a hint of hurt in his voice and she didn't miss to recognize that. She looked away from his eyes and looked out of the huge glass window in his room. He had again taken her back to his house.
"Ascian, you love him?"
She asked him. She wanted to know the real feelings that he had in his heart. She still doesn't know how he feels about becoming a father so suddenly. He was a man who wanted to live alone and gather power but now he has a child.
"Yes, what made you think I will not love my own flesh and blood?"
Mirela listened to him and nodded. She knew he wanted a child to be the next alpha. So she knew that's why he's telling this.
"How to trust you? Didn't you say you love me too?"
"I can't trust you anymore Ascian and I also will never trust you"
She uttered. Then she tried to sit up on the bed but she didn't have the energy to do that. Then he came and helped her to sit on the bed. She removed the quilt over her and looked at her legs.
A painful smile appeared on her face seeing how her legs were bandaged and how pale they were. She will not be healed anytime soon. She saw how dangerous the wounds on her legs were. He really made her can't leave him, he really made her stay in the room.
"Take me to the washroom"
She looked at him and said. Then he watched her for a while and nodded before lifting her up and walked towards the washroom. Then he placed her on the countertop and filled the bathtub with warm water.
Then he added rose oil to the water and looked at her. He came and removed her dress from her body before taking her and placing her inside of the bathtub. He caressed her face for a while and then kissed her forehead.
"I'll be at outside, when you're done call me"
She simply nodded at him, then he waited for a while and walked out of the washroom shutting the door behind him. After he left, she leaned against the bathtub and closed her eyes. She was so tired and she didn't have any energy with her.
"Ascian.. No.. what happened to him?"
She looked at the man who was covered with blood and she was crying helplessly. She hugged him tightly against her chest and checked his breath, his breath was fading and blood rushing out of his chest without stopping.
She was scared and helpless. Soon she felt he wasn't breathing anymore and she was covered with his blood. Her body was trembling and she was utterly stunned.
"Ascian.."
She muttered, her tears fell on his face but he didn't even move and he wasn't even breathing. Her heart was suffocating, the pain inside of her couldn't be described by words.
"Mirela.. Wake up.."
She was awakened by his voice and she opened her eyes as she was greeted with a pair of emerald eyes. The suffocating feeling inside of her heart faded as she looked at him. Her eyes immediately scanned him and she sighed in relief without seeing any injured on his body.
He was shirtless and all he had on his body was bite and scratched marks she made. She looked at his eyes and lowered her head.
"What happened? A nightmare?" He asked her.
She nodded at him and smiled forcefully, of course it was a nightmare and the worst she had ever seen. She slowly lifted her one arm and wrapped around his strong shoulder, while supporting herself.
"I want to see Ahren. Please, take me"
She said, then he nodded and lifted her up from the water before taking a towel and wiped her body.
