Chapter 58: Chapter 58 - I should go or not?

I am astonished by the power I felt after accepting her, and I am sure that she can also feel that because I am already feeling the waves of energy from her body. She is clutching her heart and is trembling. I went towards her, but she pushed me backwards, and I fell to the floor.

"You should not have done that", she whispered, and a few tears rolled down from her eyes... {not the reaction that I was expecting} ... "you should not have done that", she shouted at me and ran out of the room. Her reaction makes me so confused that I don’t know what I should do now.

I knew that she was surely not going to jump into my arms happily when I accepted her, but at least she would have slapped me, kicked me, or thrown a thousand insults at a time but running away was the last thing that I expected from her... {What are you waiting for, stupid? Our mate is crying. We need to be there for her. Did you forget what dad taught us about mates? Never make them sad, and if you did, then don’t hesitate to console her or even get your ass kicked by her. Let’s go and get our asses kicked} ... yeah, let’s go and present our asses to her so that she can kick it... Is that the reason you were called the alpha king? I taunted him... {oh, come on, just imagine what will happen when you return. Her piled-up anger will be harder to tackle... and let’s not forget that she has silver weapons} ... He does have a point.

I went towards her room and found her room locked from the inside. "Open the door, Aadhya", I called her softly, but I already knew she was too stubborn and angry to open the door. I took the spare key and opened the door. Dee was still sleeping while Aadhya was nowhere to be seen. For once, I got alarmed, but then I felt her presence in the room, which calmed me. I checked the bathroom and closet, but she was not there. "I can feel you, Aadhya, please come out" when she didn’t come out, I remembered our morning conversation. I crouched down and looked under the bed and found her curled under it. "Aadhya", I called her softly, but she didn’t react. "Chicky", I again said, but I heard a giggle this time. I looked upwards and found dee wide awake and giggling. I looked at him, and he came down from the bed on my lap and hugged me.

"You are not mad at me, are you?" Dee directly asked me, and I shook my head.

"No, but you are not allowed to hide things from me now. Alright," I told him. He nodded seriously and raised his pinky finger towards me.

"I promise you, alpha, pinky promise" I couldn’t help smiling and interlocking my pinky finger with his "Why is addy under the bed? Did you make her mad?" he asked me, and I nodded.

"I came to apologise, but she is neither answering me nor coming out", Dee again giggled.

"She is Addy, alpha. She never sleeps peacefully, and when she sleeps, she can’t wake up this easily. If she falls asleep under the bed, then there is no way she will wake up soon," he said, and I strained my ears and heard her calm and even breaths... {How can she sleep like that? We just accepted her} ... If you are curious, you can ask her when she will wake up.

"We should let her sleep", Dee suggested

"If she woke up from her nightmare with a jerk, then again, she will hit her head on the bed," I told him, and he made a thinking face. "I think I can do something. Will you get up for a minute, champ" I told him, and he got up from my lap, grabbed Aadhya’s foot and slowly pulled her out... {she really slept. Are you sure, Ryan, that our mate is not insane? We just accepted her and what she did... she slept} ... Will you please keep silent? Let me stay with her for a while in peace. I lifted her, put her on the bed, and covered her with a duvet. "You should also sleep, champ."

"Will you tell me a bedtime story?" he asked me, which seriously made me nervous... {how do we do that?}

"Didn’t she tell you one before?"

"But that was for my first nap. Can you tell me a second bedtime story?" I didn’t want to say no to him, but the truth is told, I am as bad in storytelling as Aadhya is bad in... {no need to say anything bad about her, dude. We just accepted her} ... as Aadhya was terrible at showing emotions. Nobody is perfect, king, and our beautiful mate also has limitations.

"How about I tell you what your addy did on the first day of work?" I can see excitement twinkling in Dee’s eyes. He nodded excitedly, went beside Chicky, and made a place for me on his other side.

"Come alpha" I went towards him, and Aadhya had already encircled her arms around dee, who was looking excited and content at the same time. I started telling him the story, and when I explained how she threw coffee all over me, he laughed loudly at this but still, Aadhya’s sleep was never disturbed... {God knows if she is sleeping or just faking it} but Dee slept in mid, and I also don’t know when I slept looking at her, but after a very long time, I didn’t have nightmares.

When I woke up after a few hours, I found Dee lying half on me and half on the bed, and Aadhya was still hugging Dee and a little bit of my arm. "I really wish that I could be in bed for a little more time", I muttered and slowly removed Aadhya’s hand and Dee’s tiny body from me and walked out of the room. I took whatever clothes came in my hand in a duffel bag, took a few used shirts of mine, and went towards Aadhya’s room. I put those shirts on her side table and wrote a note for her.

’I KNOW YOU ARE MAD AT ME, BUT USE THESE SHIRTS. MY SCENT WILL HELP YOU IN DEALING WITH NIGHTMARES. USUALLY, I DON’T TAKE A MOBILE PHONE, BUT THIS TIME I AM TAKING IT WITH ME. YOU CAN CALL ME WHENEVER YOU WANT. TAKE CARE OF DEE AND YOURSELF AND PLEASE... IT’S A REQUEST FROM BOTH KING’S AND MY SIDE. DON’T GET INTO PROBLEMS"

I wanted to write so many things, but then I felt that if I wrote it so long, then it would look like a love letter... {, but we can write a love letter to her. She is our mate} ... Wait until she accepts us, and after that, we will surely write love letters to her. King has been behaving grumpily from the time I woke up today. He is confused because we didn’t get any response from Aadhya and also because he needed to do these alpha king duties and leave her here. With a kiss on Dee’s forehead and a last glance toward Aadhya, I went out of the room and waited for others to come. Others came after a few minutes, and dad came at last, but that stupid jack was not on time as always.

"Ready?" I asked Layla and Ellon who were coming with me, and both of them nodded.

"Where is addy?" Layla asked me.

"She is sleeping. I didn’t wake her up," I told her, and she nodded sadly... {I really wanted her to see me off. Let’s take her with us, Ryan. I am not getting a good feeling by leaving her here alone} ... Don’t talk nonsense, king. She will not go anywhere until her gramma and dee are here, and she is not wrong. They are her family, and their safety is her priority, don’t forget that we are not going on some picnic. There are eighty percent chances that we have to face some difficult situations there. Do you seriously want her to show her fighting skills again? King didn’t reply, and I sighed.

"Now you will not even say a small ’bye’ to me when you will leave the pack for some mission" ... {I didn’t want to say bye to her, but Aadhya} king again whined, and I looked at the source of the voice and found lily standing there with her usual smile. It’s not like I have any issue with Lily, but I seriously don’t want her to hurt herself by expecting anything but friendship from me.

"I thought that you were busy" I could feel waves of anger from Matt and Layla when Lily came towards me and extended her arms.

"Come on, at least I deserve a hug", she tiptoed and hugged me. At the same time, I heard Dee’s voice.

"Who is she, addy?" I looked in the direction and found Aadhya standing with dee a few steps away... {fuckk}. I removed lily’s arms but didn’t look away from Aadhya’s eyes. I tried to find out what was going on in her mind, but she had a blank expression. I went towards her but heard a pair of footsteps coming towards us from the woods. I looked in the direction, and the sight made me extremely tense... {why is he semi-naked} ... Don’t you think you should ask what the hell this man is doing in our territory?

"What is he doing here?" Aadhya asked no one in particular, and dad answered her.

"Oh, Aiden needed us to sort out a few matters, but he was busy with pack affairs. So, instead, he sent his son. He is going to stay here for a couple of weeks or maybe a month," dad explained, and I couldn’t help but feel uneasy. He ignored everyone and went in front of Aadhya.

"Hi, Aadhya," he said, and this is already creeping me out.

"Hi, Ethan"... {Do something, Ryan. You stupid fool}
