Embrace 33

Chapter 33
Noah’s POV
I understood.” I said “That boy…. I was sure that he has some ulterior motives behind following you all around the day. No to Aurora in a low and husky tone while kissing her neck. She was so soft, and she tasted sweet like honey. Holding her against my body felt good in every sense.
I couldn’t pinpoint what had changed between us, but her scent always made me lose my control around her. I felt jealous and drawn to her whenever I saw her with anyone else who is not me. “L. I know… I promised to the alpha th… that I will help him in this exam only. Then… Then there will be no connection between me and him after th… that.” She replied to me while stuttering a little.
I smirked against her skin when I realized that she was now breathing heavily, and she almost dug her nails into my shoulder. “Yo… you said he is your friend. I reminded her while moving my kisses from one side to another side of his neck. She perfectly fit with my body,
“Y yes… he is.. b.. but ju, ust friends.” She stuttered hard this time. “And why is that?” I asked her while enjoying the sensation that I was getting by kissing her. I knew that I have a mate there, and I would find her right after my birthday, and I wanted all my first with my mate.
was an attempt Yet I was drawn to Aurora. The first kiss that we shared with her. I didn’t count that as a kiss because that to save her life. Still I remembered the softness of her lips. I shouldn’t drawn to her. She also had her mate somewhere.
Suddenly I felt her stiffened. I stopped and waited for her to respond first. My lips were still on her neck behind her ear. Yo… You forgot?” she asked me and I frowned. I slowly lifted my head up but kept close to her face.
“Wh. what did I forget?” I asked her while looking straight into her eyes which had tears now. “You prohibited ev… Everyone to befriend me.” She answered and I felt a tight squeeze in my chest. “I… I never h… ave a friend, Noah… N… not even one.” She continued in a cracked tone while looking at me with sad eyes.
I slowly stroked the back of her head with my thumb while staring at her blankly.
Yeah….
She was right….
She… she was all alone all these years…..
She never had a friend because no one wanted to face my wrath. She wasn’t even allowed to eat in the canteen, and I was the one who ordered this. I outcasted her… And…. And I was the only one who was at fault here.
I gulped hard and she lowered her eyelashes. Of course, she didn’t want me to see her crying. “H. he is j., ust like me…….. No one w… wants to be his friends j.. just because he has some dispute with you.” She continued in the same cracked tone, but the sadness on her face was enough to shatter my heart.
“You will never understand how it feel to be outcast by everyone and stay alone wh. when y… you are most afraid of being alone.” She whispered the last part and my grip on her head and waist tightened. She was afraid of being alone because she was alone in that dark safe room.
Without thinking anything, I pulled her in my embrace, putting her head on my chest. She sobbed aloud this time. She wrapped her hands around my neck. She was now crying silently, and it made me feel awful. I felt that I failed her not only as her friend but also her future alpha. We were good friends, and she was almost my shadow all the time before that incident

Chapter 33
I wanted to say sorry to her for being a jerk all these years….
I wanted to say sorry to her….. For abandoning her when she needed us the most…..
I wanted to say sorry to her… For hating her all these years when she wasn’t at fault….

But I couldn’t utter even a single word. Every word that I had on the tip of my tongue, but it seemed that they glued there. “I… I promise y… you the that you will never be alone from now on. Y.. you will always have me beside you whenever you want to have someone with you. I promise you.” I promised her with determination.
As for Hunter, I had no sympathy for that brat, but she was right. It was not fair to anyone to get treatment like this. My father invited him and his family here to help us deal with that strange disease. He wasn’t here because he wanted to be
here.
“Okay… don’t cry now…… You….. You are already weak.” I coaxed her while patting her back lightly. Dad was right. I was still not ready to be the alpha this pack need. I had to learn so many things….. not only how to run pack, but also how to act according to the situation. I had a lot of things to learn.
She didn’t utter a word again but kept on crying. She had mu**ed her voice by hiding her face onto my chest, still it was enough for me to be heartbroken. Soon, her cry converted into light sobs. I didn’t want to move her away from me but the period was about to over and then there would be so many students in the corridor.
I didn’t want anyone to see her like this. I reluctantly moved her away from me and kissed her forehead. “Go to the restroom. I… I will wait for you here.” I instructed her in a soft tone while wiping her cheeks with my hands. I took her bag
from her. from her before she left for the restroom without looking at me. It hurt badly but what else I could expect
I sighed and moved towards the outside. I leaned on the railing while looking towards the vast sky. It was a clear sunny but I felt a storm inside my head. I never felt so conflicted in my life that I was now,
day.
Even when I started hating Aurora, I didn’t have any doubt in my mind, but now everything was so messy. After what Dad told us about that attack, I realized what I did to Aurora all these years was something that couldn’t be forgiven just like that.
“What if Aurora is our mate? Will…. Will she accept us?” Suddenly Beast asked me in a very low voice. My lips trembled hard I couldn’t even think about the answer of this question. I knew that she didn’t hate me but there was no way that she would accept me as her mate.
“I warn you, Noah… There is no way that I will let my mate reject me just because you were a p**ck. So…. Whether she is our mate or not…. Think about how to amend your relationship with her.” Beast threatened me and I just sighed while staring at the sky blankly.
I moved back when I sensed her coming towards me. She still had her head hung low. “Are you okay now?” I asked her in a concerned tone when she stopped in front of me. “Yeah.” She answered me in a h**se voice while raising her hand towards me to get her bag.
I gave the bag to her. Her face was still red but it was good that she wasn’t taking hiccups anymore. “We….. We still have ten minutes before the next class. Want to have something to eat or drink?” I asked her in the same tone while tilting my head lightly. I didn’t know why but I wanted her to look at me now.
“Nah.. I. I am fine… Th. the next class is PE an.. and I am still on exemption period. So… so… I am going to the library.” She told me while stuttering a little, but didn’t lift her head up. “Let’s go. I am going with you.” I replied to her and took her hand.
She trembled lightly when I intertwined our fingers. “Noah.” She called me softly when we were about to start walking. I looked at her questioningly but sighed helplessly when I saw that she still had her head hanging low, “What?” I asked her calmly.

“What made you change your behaviour towards me?” she asked me in a calm tone this time. I raised my brows in surprise when I noticed that she didn’t stutter even a little this time. “Uhhhhhh… You can say th… That we grew up now?” I answered. her but it seemed a question to me.
She immediately looked at me this time with raised brows in surprise. “It doesn’t matter what made me change my behaviour towards you, Aurora. I promised you earlier that you will never be alone again, and I meant that.” I said further in a calm and firm tone this time. She just blinked harder before nodding her head in response.
I suddenly threw my hand around her shoulder, pulling her closer to me while walking. “Hey.” She shrieked but I laughed.

“Your brain is the smallest.” She immediately retorted angrily, making me laugh louder this time. The good thing was thaf there wasn’t a tug-war between us as she had with Hunter when he put his hand on her shoulder. Suddenly I felt the back of my head.

I opened the mind-link while stopping in my tracks with her. She was still in my side-embrace. “Is Aurora with you, Noah?” Dad asked me in a serious tone through mind-link. “Yeah, Dad. We are heading to the library.” I answered him about our whereabouts truthfully. “Bring her to my office now.” he instructed me, making me raised my brows in suspicion.
