The Alpha Claimed Me Deeply by Demiah13

Chapter 32

32 (Aurora’s pov) I wrapped the towel tightly around me and slowly peeled the door open. I scan the entire area o I the room. Empty. I quickly rush towards the pile of clothes on the bed. Xavier must’ve placed it there. I rummage through the clothes, quickly pulling out a blue cotton panty, a dark grey leggings and a shirt. Alter getting dressed, I walked over to the lengthy mirror and peered at my reflection. My fingers slowly touch the bandaid on my arm where the she wolf Adrian had wounded me a little, It stung a little but was bearable. I took a step closer to the mirror, peering into my eyes. The green was now lighter, brighter. I furrow my brows, leaning forward to examine my features. I stiffen when the sound of approaching footsteps comes barreling here. Thinking it was Alpha Xavier, I rushed towards his huge bed. But my clumsiness had me tripping before I got t o the bed. I squeal, my hands reaching out for something to steady me, but I only grip clothes and in my failed pursuit, I went tumbling to the floor harshly. The door swings open quickly and feeling the weight of my embarrassment, I don’t bother lifting my head to see who it was. But then a male’s, entirely different and obviously not Alpha Xavier rushed out.

“Oh shit are you okay?! You took a hard tumble…” Eli’s feet suddenly come into my view and I slowly lift my head to stare up at him. He crouches beside me, looking down at me in worry. The look has me flinching slightly, not used to such an emotion from another wolf apart from Cassandra Eli notices my flinch and his brow furrows in question. He doesn’t ask though, only helped me up using one hand. I didn’t fail to notice in his other hand held a dirty familiar little bag that once belonged to Cassandra. “Thank you,” I said shyly stepping away from him. I hadn’t been in the presence of a male wolf alone apart from Xavier. I had an inkling Eli wouldn’t hurt me or do anything to hurt me but I was still a little cautious to be in his presence without Xavier there. “You’re thanking me?” Eli chuckles in amusement, making the flaring heat on my cheeks burn evenContent is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

more. I looked away, palms brushing against the material of my shirt as if fixing the wrinkles. “Wow you redden pretty easily. Maybe now I know why Xavier keeps you to himself,” He laughs. His words made me redden even more and upon noticing, he laughs louder. Feeling embarrassed, I crossed my arms over my chest and counted the seconds he’d stay laughing. After a full minute, he finally ceases his laughter and hands over the small bag I had asked of Xavier earlier. “Oh here. Alpha wanted me to retrieve this for you. You’re lucky, I found it in the trash. Smells soul but I knew Alpha would have my head if I don’t bring it to you…” He says. 1 murmured a soft thank you before grasping the bag. And even though it smelled, I held it even tighter. I never want to part ways with it again. I could feel the weight of his gaze on me. Unable to resist, my eyes draw to his. He looks at me i nintrigue and in a calculating way.” Aurora.” 1 froze, not expecting him to know my name. I clutched the bag tighter. He continues, “Can I ask you a question?” He asked, looking at me like I was some rare creature. I suppose I was. Finding the man trustworthy enough since he didn’t do anything bad to me yet, I nodded. I figured I didn’t have a choice anyway.” Do you feel anything when Xavier is near?” Curiosity weighed heavy on his tongue. I looked at him stunned and confused, not really knowing why the conversion had made a sharp u-turn.” I don’t understand,” I voice out my confusion and watch his features shift into mild impatience. “Do you feel tingles when you’re near him? Does your heart race?” His question smacked me right in the face. Why would he ask that? I looked at him silently as he looks at me closely, waiting for my reaction. My mouth part to speak, but someone else enters the room. “What are you doing here you big oath?” Lily asked as her pretty amber eyes fall on Eli.” Does Xavier know you’re here alone with Aurora?” She skips over to us, glaring up at Eli with her hands on her hips. Eli looks down at her sheepishly, big hands going into her hair and ruffling it like you’d do a dog. She glares up at him.” Calm down little pup. I was only trying to get to know our little rare captive,” Eli flashes me a tiny grin. “Don’t call me little pup Eli! I’m not little!” She snarls angrily stomping her foot childishly. Eli raises a brow and snorts. “Sure.” He says dryly.” Have you taken your medicine Lily?” He suddenly asked after her

glaring didn’t seem like it’ll end. And just like that Lily’s glare suddenly diminishes into nothing but a blank stare. It was rare to hear a wolf being sick. And to hear an Alpha’s blood was probably sick was shocking. Why else would she need to take medicine? The wolves seem to finally notice my shocked stare and Eli quickly excuses himself before leaving the room. Now it was just Lily and me. “Medicine?” I asked her softly. I know I didn’t have any right to know her business, but she was the only one who showed me kindness since being here. Knowing that she was probably sick made me feel pity for her. It must be serious. But instead of answering my silent question Lily only smiles reassuringly. “Don’t worry about him. He’s an idiot most of the time. Just like my brother. And don’t forget about Chris. He’s the worst.” She giggles and jumps on top of the bed. I crack a smile, her giggles contagious. Her amber eyes just like her brothers, roll down my body. “Woah you look so good in my clothes! No way would I have been able to pull this off. You rock.” My smile grew and I found myself on the bed beside her. “Thank you Lily.” She grins, “I would’ve come to see you sooner but I swear my brother hasn’t left your side ever since you’ve come here. Honestly, I’m surprised he’s not here now.” Giggling she shifts her attention to me.” Seriously Aurora, what did you do to him? My brother isn’t acting like himself and everyone’s talking about it.” Snorting she continues.” Not that it’s any of their business if my brother threw you on his shoulder with his hand on your butt.” My eyes widen and a furious blush coats on my cheeks. I looked away from her awkwardly.” You know of – “Pssh.” She let out an amused air.” The entire house is buzzing about what they saw. And about what happened to Adrian too.” She giggles.” Can’t say I feel sorry for her. Everyone knows not to get on my brother’s bad side. Especially after my She stops eyes widening slightly as she realizes her mistake in almost letting her words slip. I was intrigued but knew I shouldn’t push out an answer from her. If she wants to tell me, she would on her own free will.

“Anyway, the talk is that Adrian found you in bed with my brother and confronted him about i t. Not that I care anyway, but did you sleep with my brother?” She leans forward, whispering the words. I leaned away, my eyes wide in shock and my cheeks hot.” Anyway I don’t want to hear about my brother’s sex life but I now know why he can’t seem to stay away from you.” She waved her hand in a careless manner and smiled at me. “Come to think of it. He seems rather fond of you. I know so because that’s the same way my dad used to look at my mom.” She whispered sadly. My heart skips at her words. I fumble with my fingers shyly, unable to answer her. There was n o way Alpha Xavier looked fond of me. He was cruel, any other emotion was not familiar to him. Lily was just trying to make me feel better. Suddenly her chirpy voice rocks back in. “Anyway, what did Eli want? What was he asking you before I came?” She was intrigued. And so was 1. I wanted to know why Eli would ever ask me such a thing. And seeing as Lily was friendly enough and looked talkative enough led me to ask her.” Why does one tingle by someone’s touch? Or feel their heart ready to burst out of their chest when the person they can’t stop thinking about is near?” I know I shouldn’t use her kindness but that was a question I’ve been craving to know since the first time me and Xavier’s eyes connected. Surely there was something going on to have him act this way towards me and me to not be able to stop my need for him to be near. Surely there was something that can explain this feeling. There has to be.
