The Alpha Claimed Me Deeply by Demiah13

Chapter 42

Xavier’s pov:

This is what I had feared. A weakness.

I had a fucking weakness.

And that weakness was Aurora.

(Aurora’s pov)

The door creaks open about ten minutes later after Xavier stormed out. A blonde head girl enters, her soft smile brightening the tense room. Her face was familiar, she was perhaps the other girl who brought food for me the other day. In her hands was a tray filled with what I presume was food.

My belly grumbles, remembering I hadn’t eaten anything as yet.

I move my swollen red eyes from her, gulping as I bring my knees to my chin. I got dressed as soon as he left the room. I didn’t want his food, his pity. He can take the food and shove it where the sun doesn’t shine.

In all honesty, I was now actually very angry with him.“

I listened to the sound of her footsteps as she nears, until she stops just at the edge of the bed.

“Hey, Alpha Xavier said you hadn’t

“I’m not hungry.” I cut sharply, twisting my body away from her.

“Oh,” She mumbles softly and for a second I feel guilty for the way I spoke to her. But if she was anything like Josie then I don’t think apologizing would be to my benefit.

“But probably you should…eat? Your stomach sounds like it needs the uh food.” The girl suggested after a pregnant awkward pause.

Just as her words slipped out, my stomach decides to agree with her. It grumbles loudly, crawling on the four walls around me until I grew embarrassed by its loudness.

Feeling flustered, I turned to the girl, my eyes falling on the tray she held in her grasp. Sighing, I nod. “One bite won’t hurt I guess.”

She beams, her glossy pink lips splitting into a dazzling smile. “Good! Because you’re so thin Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Her eyes widen in horror. “Oh, I didn’t mean it like that. So sorry if I offend you. It’s just that it would be lovely to see you have a proper meal.”

She smiles sheepishly, placing the tray on the bed. “I made sure to give you a bunch of grapes. They’re so big this season and juicy too. Ah and you must try the butter biscuits, they’re to die for. Oh and the lemon tarts

“I’ll try them all.” I giggled, unable to stay cold in her presence any longer. She was a talkative girl.

She smiles sheepishly, removing the cover to reveal all the food she just worded out seconds ago. “Sorry I like to rumble about food. Sometimes I think my first word was food related and not shit like my mom told me,” She giggles, pushing the tray closer to me.

I smiled, enjoying the conversation more than I thought possible. “That wouldn’t have been as memorable as the word shit I suppose.” She hummed, flicking her eyes to the ceiling as if in thought.

“I think my mom probably was doing me a favor. Perhaps wanted me to sound cooler than the other kids.” She snorts.

“Nothing’s cooler than the word shit,” I laughed lightly. Grateful she was somehow causing a distraction.

The girl laughed, eyes dancing. ” My name is Sarah by the way. I’m a maid here, kind of. I’m usually a chef, in the making of course. I’m still learning. But hey, try out the lemon tarts first. I made them myself.” She pushes the tray closer, and surprisingly plops down on the edge of the bed.

Her brown gaze stared at me in excitement. “Well go on. I want to hear what you think about it.” She chirps. She can barely contain her excitement, nearly bouncing on the bed when I reached out for the lemon tart.

I brought the tart to my mouth and bit into it. The first thing I tasted was the tang of the lemon then a burst of……salt.

I nearly spat it out but thought it would be too improper and would probably hurt her feelings. So I chewed it quickly, smiling, maybe grimacing at her while nodding. ” It’s good.”

Sarah looks at me for a few seconds before throwing herself on the bed. ” Everyone lies to me. How am I supposed to get better if they keep lying? It sucks, throw it out before you get a tummy ache. “She sighs heavily

I quickly swallowed because there was no napkin to spit it out but did put the rest of the tart back on the tray.

I wouldn’t touch it again with a ten foot pole.

“Seriously I did warn you that I was a chef in the making. I did not say I was thee chef.” She mumbles, looking at the ceiling.

I looked at her with raised brows. “Was that what you would’ve told them if I died by those awful tarts?” I joked.

“Honestly I did not think of that.” She laughs sitting up then suddenly scuttled to her feet. “Oh shit the alpha is going to kill me for being on his bed.” She stared at the spit she was on in horror.

But then after a few seconds brushes it off. “I’ll just say I fell. Anyway, I heard from Josie that your name is Aurora. Lovely name by the way.” She chirps out quickly, her brown eyes staring at me kindly.

I stiffen at the mention of Josie, but relaxed when she complimented me.” Thank you.”

“You really have a lovely name and I’m stuck with this common name. Like who names their child Sarah? I’ve scolded my mom many times about her dumb decision My dad on the other hand thinks it was a cool name back in the day. I mean how back in the day are they talking about? We’re in the 20s and I’m just nineteen

“Oh, I’m rambling again. It’s a curse, I can’t sadly get over it.” She sighs after she notices my wide eyes.

” It’s fine. It’s… entertaining.” I mumble truthfully as I reach out for the butter biscuits and pray that she wasn’t the one who made them. She notices my gaze and laughs.

“I promise I’m not the one who made the butter biscuits so you can breathe out a sigh of relief.” She snorts.

Actually sighing in relief, I took a bite into the biscuits and nearly moaned. It was so good.

“You really are pretty, I don’t see what’s the huge fuss about your features. You look normal to me and quite beautiful. Josie’s just a jealous bitch and you should not pay her any attention. She’s had a crush on Alpha Xavier for so long that I think somewhere in her brain, she thinks she’ll have him. But I think seeing the way he treats you, all the unmated females are kinda jealous that you snagged the handsome Alpha’s attention.”

“He’s very cold you know, ever since his parents died. He doesn’t let anyone get close to him. But since you’ve come, he has been quite possessive of you and extremely protective. I’ve never seen him act that way before. And neither have they. Which is why many believe you’re his mate. But some think it’s impossible since it’s never happened before. You know an unknown creature mated to a wolf

“Ugh I’m rambling again. Sorry. I think it’s a disease.” She apologizes for what felt like the hundredth time.

I open my mouth to speak but she beats me to it.

* By the way….what are you? If you don’t mind me asking? I just have never seen a creature like you before. Well except for elves with the pointy ears but that’s in books. But elves don’t have colored hair like yours or eyes like yours. And it’s quite rare to stumble on them. They also are a bit shorter too. So maybe you’re not fully an elf. But a mixed breed with something else? I don’t know any creature who has hair that’s not a common black, brown, red, or blonde. Neither the eyes. The eyes are very rare.”

She notices my surprised gaze and winces. “Sorry. I talk too much sometimes. I need a cap on my tongue,”She snorts.

But before I could utter a word, she beats me to it, again.

“Some think you’re created by a witch. But if that were true you’d probably do some evil shit by now. So that should’ve been crossed out. I think maybe you’re the first of your species.” She smiles.

Then bends down a little and whispers. “And I think you’ll be the first of your species to ever be mated to an Alpha. Which is freaking cool by the way.”

I opened my mouth, then closed it. Opened it again but to only stammer. “Xavier and I we’re not- I do

Giggling Sarah straightens her spine. “Don’t worry secret is safe with me. Even though majority already suspects. I’ll try to distract them as much as I can until Alpha Xavier stops acting like a child and claim you as his

My eyes tore away from her and pin down on the sheets. “He doesn’t want me,” I whispered heavily. Gulping down the emotions that made a lump in my throat.

Sarah snorts.” Trust me, I know about wolves. If a male wolf doesn’t want his mate, he’d reject her on the spot. Xavier took you in not even knowing what kind of species you were. Because deep down, he didn’t care that you were not a wolf, he knew he wanted you. He knows he’ll claim you. He might not admit it to himself yet. But I’m certain when you go tomorrow he’ll run behind you and probably claim you.” She shrugs. “Did I also mention that I’m also a psychic in the making?”

I giggled through the tears, finding her words funny yet somehow hopeful.” Are you a psychic or a chef?” I joked.

She snorts. “Both.”

I laughed but soon sighed dejectedly. “You know about tomorrow.”

“I’m the one who was ordered to pack you a bag. He was very adamant about making sure you have warm clothes and blankets. But something tells me you won’t need that bag,” She smiles cheekily.

My brows drew together. “What makes you think that?”

She winks. “Psychic in the making remember?”

“Anyway, I’ll leave you to eat up. I’ll come back in an hour to collect the tray. It was nice talking to you Aurora and I do hope alpha Xavier changes his mind before it’s too late.” She smiles.

After saying goodbye, Sarah leaves the room and now it was just only me and the food.

I ate with my heart heavy as I remembered that tomorrow was quickly approaching.

Hours ticked by. Sarah came to take the tray hours ago and left after rambling about being the first among her siblings to ever surpass her father’s height. She leaves soon after when Eli reaches.

He was supposedly there to guard the door. Not that I needed a guard. I wasn’t going to escape. Not when I had the intentions of actually staying.

So after it was really dark out and the park house grew silent, I summoned the courage to walk to the door and opened it. Xavier had not shown his presence after he coldly told me he doesn’t need me here.

But I was going to him.

If he didn’t want to fight for us. I was going to for the both of us.

So I opened the door, surprised to see that the door has a heavy weight on it as I pulled it open. Eli falls to the floor with a huff. He must’ve fallen asleep sitting down in front of the door.

His eyes suddenly opened in alarm and he looks at me above him, blinks then suddenly seem to understand what was going on and rises to his feet like they were on fire.

“Aurora,” He says sheepishly.” Was just taking a little nap.” His hands go in his hair and he scratches his scalp.

“I can see that,” I mumble, biting my lip to stop from laughing. He was the world’s worst guard. Who falls asleep at their post?

Looking at me in humiliation, he clears his throat. “Uh did you need something? I can call for Josie or Sarah

I shook my head. “No, it’s fine. I actually want to know where Xavier was?”

If he was shocked by how I referred to his Alpha he didn’t show it. “Uhm, He was in his sturdy last I checked.”

Drawing in some air, I looked at him.” Can I- can I go to him please?”

Eli’s gaze widens and his brows shoot up in shock. But then he seems to have read through me because his gaze softens and after a few silent moments, he answers.” Just don’t mention to him that I fell asleep.”

I smiled, taking that as his yes as he turns around and walks. But then stops and whirled around to stare at me with a raised brow.” Well? Aren’t you coming?”
