Chapter 93
TARA
The next days were better than I could have predicted in years to come, and that meant better in the sense of things with Aidan, and even better with my mother. We frequented my oldd home as often as we could, spent hours upon hours in my mother’s company, and sometimes, even visited twice on the same day for days in a row,
mom was so happy, confessing to it by herself that she hadn’t been happier in years, When she randomly mentioned one afternoon that she was ciateful to have seen the
days, and would now peacefully go to meet the Moon Goddess, I rebuked her, telling her that I saw her spending many more years with us after this.

I truly did.
Nadia wasn’t left out in the merriments. Her grandmother showered her with so much love that she was the one who dragged me sometimes to go see
And then their was my father, just as I had suspected on the first day when we came, he was only entertaining us because of Mom.
Her seeing us must have brought about a time that had been chased away for years from their house, and for some reason, he couldn’t ban us from coming as he did to me years.
I had tried to have a conversation with him more than once, but he politely shut it down before I could get two words in. If stubbornness was being competed for an award, my father would win it by miles ahead of others.

I really got to see him in his true Alpha element now that we were in his pack–more familiar lands, Aidan showed us around the pack, wowing and Nadia with just how much Attica pack had to offer. We harely had enough hours in the day to tour the pack as much as we wanted, causing us to pass out almost immediately after getting to Aidan’s penthouse each day.
Something else that was profoundly noticeable to me throughout the week was that every encounter with Aidan caused the stubborn walls I had built around my heart to crack and crack each day as I got to witness how intentional he was about us,
I craved seeing him every day, and now more than ever, I was coming to accept the reality of things. M My heart belonged to Aidan
Aside from the fact that every time he led us through a street, took us to some secret spot in Attica, or carried Nadia in his arms when she complained of having walked too much, he looked hot as sin, and I wanted nothing more than to jump him on the spot, I was truly losing myself in his charm.
It was Thursday now, and after a quiet day with Nadia at Aidan’s home where we did almost nothing all afternoon, I itched for some activity. I laughed at the thought that I was truly getting spoiled by being in Aidan’s pack.
It was all his fault.
With that realization, another sad one hit me; all good things had an expiry date. Since my diner hadn’t had my attention in the last week, and we had some what made some progress with why we came to Attica Pack, I had started to consider when we would head back home, and plan a more stable routine to maintain our relationship with my moen.
Leaving that thought for later, I decided to take the rest of the day to ourselves and enjoy something like a solo trip around town. Aidan had previously said he would have to catch up on his work now that he was back home, but he had spent a large amount of those times with us, making us feel welcome, so it was only fair that we spared him a day out of it.
And added to the fact that everywhere we went with Aidan, there were always pairs of eyes on him for one reason or the other, and by extension, us,
On that note, Nadia and I dressed up and headed for the heart of the town.
I imagined it, we had a blast time doing a lot of fun things, stuffing our faces with food, and finally, settling down in some park to read, while

Turning to face me from her book, Nadia popped a question.
“Why don’t we surprise him with a… Nadia tilted her head up in the evening light, fingers tapping gently on her chin as she was lost in thought. “A gift basket? No! A fruit basket,” she corrected, flashing me her teeth.
Weren’t they the same though?
“Are you serious?” I laughed in question, and Nadia nodded.
Actually, thinking about it now, I decided to be a little selfish and put my wants into consideration. Aidan might be busy, but I was sure he’d be happy to spend a little time with us if we showed up at his doorstep.
To make myself feel better, I thought back to the last fruit basket I had prepared for Aidan that I didn’t get a chance to give him because of the flood that ruined our kitchen that night, and I saw this as the perfect opportunity to get that done.
Ciddiness filled me with the thought of seeing Aidan, even if for just a few minutes, and my smile came to life.
“You know what?” I turned to Nadia, my smile intact. “I think that’s actually a good idea. Let’s do it”
Nadia was ecstatic, bubbling with excitement, but I was certain that my excitement beat h
hers by a stretch……
My heart beat in anticipation.
We were going to see Aidan.
