Fifty- The One Who Calls Her 'Baby'

Fifty- The One Who Calls Her 'Baby'
Kael’s POV
A part of me wouldn’t stop hoping Aria wouldn’t show up today, not after the stunt Drax pulled yesterday. I had only seen her twice in school today and she didn’t even see me, she was too focused on whatever her dearest friends were saying to her, but I guess you can’t avoid your tutor for so long can you?
‘Sir, Aria is here’ One of the protectors of the pack house informed me over our mindlink confirming exactly what I was thinking. Always on time.
‘Let her in’ I responded, I have told them numerous times to always let her in but my dearest father keeps insisting that at least one of us must give them a go-ahead before someone is let in, Typical for a man with so many enemies.
It didn’t take her more than ten minutes to get to my room which shocked me a little, it seems she is now used to the environment compared to when she was last here.
“Come in” I spoke up before she could knock. There was a brief silence on the other end before the door creaked open revealing a rather unusual-looking Aria. Concern suddenly filled me as I watched her stroll further into the room, her shoulders slumped like she didn’t care about anything, and her eyes were a bit red like she had been crying.
“Aria?” I called out trying to hide my growing concern although I knew I failed woefully.
“Please can we start, I have to get home on time today” She sighed, drooping her back on my desk and plopping down on her usual chair. Her lack of care and nonchalance work so perfectly that I doubt she even realizes it. There was no nagging or angry talk from her, just nothing.
“Aria…” I called out again, still watching her.
“Kael please let us start,” She said again, already pulling out her books from her bag but I couldn’t miss the way she kept on blinking her eyes like she was trying to blink back tears, Lyra and Mum do it all the time, I will know the look anywhere.
“Not until you talk to me” I demanded.
“I am speaking to you right now, aren’t I?” She was looking at me like I had lost it when it was obviously the other way round.
“You know that’s not what I am talking about, Aria. What’s up with you? You look really sad”
She rolled her eyes at me before responding, “ Since when did you start caring about me, Kael?” She jabbed.
“Come on, Aria, you are my tutor I can’t have you teach me like this” I quickly covered up. Her eyes fell at my words and she immediately wished I hadn’t said them. Why can’t I be fucking nice to my mate for once?....
“Yeah, that’s what I thought,” She said suddenly packing her books back in her bag.
“Where are you going?” I asked as she hung her bag over her shoulders, pushing her seat back so she could stand.
“Well, you have already made it clear that your ‘tutor’ cannot teach you in this state, and considering that’s all I can do for you I'd better take my leave” She tried so hard to sound plain but I could still hear and feel the emotions in her voice.
‘Here you go again’ Drax sighed angrily.
‘Shut the fuck up, you are the reason things feel this complicated between us. If you had just stayed put instead of going to her house things would still have been as they should, now she might think we feel something more than we let on’ I snapped back.
‘And that is wrong because? You can keep lying to yourself but I wouldn’t do the same and you'd better not be considering letting her leave like this or I would help you’ Drax threatened. He has been itching to take over a lot this period and it is getting very alarming. I have always heard of wolves especially Alphas who lost control over their wolf due to the absence of their their mate and I can’t have that. I cannot become Alpha if I don’t have control of my wolf and Drax seems to be losing his patience with me.
‘You wouldn’t dare’ I know it was stupid to say but I did it anyway and Drax reminded me why the moon goddess chose him for me…just like that he surged forward shoving me into the dark corners of my own mind where I could only watch.
Aria was backing out already ready to leave, she was done waiting for a response from me or should I say us now.
“Aria” Drax called out, making Aria stop her movements. Her body went still, even without turning she knew.
“Drax?” She murmured, turning to look at us. Her eyes widened in shock but she quickly masked it.
“Don’t be scared. Please come, I wouldn't hurt you, I promise” Even if she wasn’t so sure it was him before she must have confirmed it now, I have never been this nice to her. The way she softened under his voice twisted something ugly inside me.
“But how?” She whispered, taking a few steps forward, conflict and confusion in her eyes.
“How what, baby?” He cooed, Aria visibly relaxed at the nickname which pissed me off even more. I am trying to stay clear of all of this and he is making things complicated and worse for me. All my efforts to take over proved abortive. I am so going to kill him after this.
“Isla…Isla never stays this long, how are you here?” She answered now standing directly in front of me, even while standing she was still small and petite compared to me.
“That’s not the problem now, I just want you to feel better then I can go,” He said softly, pulling her down so she could sit on my lap. He was in control but here I am feeling every single thing, her ass pressing my already hard dick, her soft skin that held onto my chest for stability, her soft breaths on my face. Everything in me suddenly fell alive and as much as I love it, I hate it too.
