The Alpha Claimed Me Deeply by Demiah13

Chapter 33

33 (Aurora’s pov) Lily looked at me in surprise, probably not expecting me to ask such a question. Intrigue soon lit her features and her mouth parts to speak. “Well from what I’ve heard, and I’m only referring to our species. But usually mated couples are the ones who feel the tingles. The racing of the heart can mean anything….” She hums, finger touching her chin as she looks to be thinking. But her words are already enough to shock me. Mated couples? A flashback soon occurs in my head and I froze. “It’s practically impossible for a wolf, much less an Alpha to be mated to any other species than that of their own. Especially to a creature, no one knows what they are. Which makes me wonder….” “Why you are here.” He had basically told me but I was too immersed in his touch to even ponder on his words. 1 regretted not asking what he meant. Now I had too many questions in my head. Questions I was afraid if I summoned the courage to ask would lead me into great trouble with the cold Alpha.

Maybe I was reading into this too much. Maybe he didn’t mean for it to sound like we were mates. When I pondered more on it. I realize I was stupid to even think such a thing was possible. Why would a powerful Alpha like Xavier Knight ever be mated to someone like me? Especially seeing as no one knew what I was. It’s even more impossible seeing as wolves are only mated t o their kind. “I’m not sure really. They don’t tell me much as yet seeing as I’m not of age to find my mate.” She sighed looking sad. I wonder why her face was so solemn. I open my mouth to ask her but suddenly the solemn look turns into one of mischief.” But Id o know where that sort of information is.” She gets off the bed excitedly. She manages to capture my full attention. “Where?” I question, rising to my feet as well. Lily hops in excitement, clapping her hands.” We have a huge library on the second floor. It’s filled with

books, history books of our species. My father liked to collect them. He was such a nerd. Xavier won’t admit it but he was also a nerd. Too bad he doesn’t go in the library anymore.” She said slyly. Not able to piece the pieces of her look together quickly, I looked at her lost. She rolls her eyes and sighs heavily. “My brother is drowning in his alpha duties right now. And right now is the perfect time to get out of this confined room. We’ll be quick. You can get the book you want about all those tingle mate bullshit My eyes widen in shock at her use of language. She giggles.” Don’t look at me like that. I’m not that innocent for a fifteen year old.” My brows clench together looking at her lost. “But you’re not yet fifteen,” I pointed out. She husss loudly.” In a few weeks Aurora. In a few weeks. Now, are we just going to bore ourselves by staying here alone for God knows how long? Or are you going to take a little chance and sneak into the library?” I gnawed on my bottom lip. I wanted to know about the tingles I felt when Xavier touches me. I wanted to know if my inkling was correct. If we were truly mates. But at the expense of what? If he catches me he’ll definitely punish me. And I was certain the punishment would be worst than that of last night. Was I really going to go this far as to get out of the room to get the information I needed? Lily notices the unsure look plastered on my face and sighs. “Come on we’ll be in and out of there in no time. It’s not like we’re about to create a poisonous potion that could kill the entire werewolf community. You’re just going to have a tiny look inside the book. Besides, we won’t get caught.” I highly doubt we wouldn’t be seen going to the library. Xavier might have not demanded met o stay in the room before he even left but I was a hundred percent sure that he didn’t want met o step one foot out of the said room. This would push me into a whole lot of trouble with the cold Alpha. And would it really be worth it? 1 I looked at Lily reluctantly, weighing my options which I didn’t have many of. I shook my head, no. The cons seem too grand for me to take a chance on it. What if we were caught? What would happen to me? Lily was his sister, but I was nothing but a captive. One who should not touch anything I was not supposed to.

Lily groans, head lifting to the ceiling. “Are you an even bigger bore than my brother? Come o n Aurora, you only get to live once so make the most of it!” She urges, grasping my hand. Her eyes snapped to my hand and she looks confused. “What happened to your hand?” I tugged my hand out of her grasp gently. The burns weren’t severe seeing as the healing balm was working like magic. But I was still a bit self conscious about it. “Just a slight burn, nothing too bad.” Giving her a reassuring smile I murmured. “And I don’t think it’s a good idea to sneak into the library. Your brother clearly doesn’t trust me and would have my head if he finds out I’ve left the room.” “My brother can suck a bucket of salt. Come on Aurora, I have a feeling that he won’t harm you. If he would’ve, he had done it from the moment you stepped foot in the territory. Now let’s go before it’ll be too late!” She urges almost impatiently. I sighed, looking at the door unsurely as I gnawed at my lips. “I don’t know Lily. I don’t want t o get into trouble with your brother.” Lily sighed heavily.” Come on Aurora, you want to know about mates right? This is your chance.” I looked at her, weighing my options. I could stay here and not know what the hell was going o n with me and the way I felt about Xavier. Or go to the library with Lily and find out what I needed. I didn’t have much time to ponder on my options, because Lily’s slim fingers wrap around my wrist and tugs me. I’m stunned by how strong she is for her height and size.” If anyone harms you they’ll have to answer to me. Don’t worry I may be small but can handle myself well,” She says, opening the door and tugging me along with her. I could’ve fought harder to stay in the room or say no more firmly. But I didn’t. Something about her words made me feel safe. They reminded me of something Cas would say. So I let her lug me along with her, smiling softly at the bubbly girl. I cared little about the eyes of the other wolves as they watch me in alarm and anger. They thought of me as an intruder. I don’t take it to heart, already used to the stares. A couple of minutes we were beside a huge wooden door that looked heavy. Lily turns to me slightly, smiling over her shoulder.” This is it!” She pushes the door open, revealing a big room with shelves stacked to the brim with books in all sizes and colors. I looked at her wide-eyed, now nervous to step into the room. It felt too intimate, as if I was treading on boundaries I wasn’t supposed to tread on.” Are you sure it’s okay if I –

Lily groans tugging me into the room and closes the door. “Seriously Aurora, you fear too much of the unknown. Relax. You’re just going to read a book and we’ll be out of there.” She reassures. I nod slowly, still unsure. Fear still tickled my spine at the thought of Xavier finding me here. He’d probably think I had forced Lily to bring me here to find out more information on wolves. In his mind, I was the enemy. “Maybe we should go,” I sighed. This really was turning out to be a very bad idea. Lily ignores me and runs towards a bookshelf while yelling.” I remember that book being somewhere here!” She points at the top shelf. It was too high up for her short height. She turns to me and smiles. “Mind giving some help Aurora?” I looked at her uncertainly before deciding it was best if I make this quick. I did need to know what was happening to me. So I nodded and walked over to her with the intention of not getting caught by the ruthless alpha,Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
