A weekend with the Alpha novel Chapter 118

My mind, for a split second, didn't dwell on the loss in the family. It focused on him and what we were achieving as a team. The escape was what I needed.

After reaching the heights, I did not do much. My head felt hazy and my body weak and I remember clinging to him and not finishing my bath. He washed the rest of my body before settling between my legs. He ran his fingers over the sensitive parts there to wash it clean, only to turn me on and finger me into another blissful orgasm.

He laid me on the bed, dried and wearing my pyjamas. It wasn't late at night, but I needed sleep and he knew what I needed.

He stood beside the bed, staring at me and not willing to join in yet.

"Thank you," I mumbled. I honestly didn't know what I'd do without him at this point.

"You're welcome."

"Come to bed then?" I beckoned, and he nodded. He moved into the bed, pulling me closer, so I laid my head against his chest, listening to his steady heartbeat as I did in the bathroom. Except for this time, they would be no sex.

I had never told anyone I'd been with this, but I wanted to share my story with Aaron. I haven't been closer to anyone as I was with him. He was my mate, the one meant for me, and so I felt safe enough to share it.

"That's not true, and this is Betty's words in your head doing the condemnation. I can list many people around you who love you and are safe. Bad things will always happen, but it is no one's fault, definitely not yours. I know your dad wouldn't want you taking the blame for what happened, and he did everything he did because he loved you."

Aaron, being the great man he was, still defended me and looked for reasons why what happened wasn't my fault. "We never knew what happened or what caused the accident. The car was said to have been run into by another car because of the impact, yet the other car or its driver they never found, even after a year of investigation. The case was closed, and they tagged it unsolved. To this day, the killer is still out there. And with Tatiana, I doubt we'll ever find the one responsible."

"We will. Keep the faith." he leaned in and placed his lips on my forehead. He pulled me against his body and after an hour of my mind running with different thoughts, my eyes finally shut.
