His Weak Alpha [MxW]

Witch's Words

Chapter 23 - Present - Giselle

Hours went by, worrying Aaron, even if he didn't want to, as Giselle seemed far from coming home when his son asked him about her after he went to look for the she-wolf right away upon returning from the Pack's house.

"For the last time, Ed, I don't know. I don't know where she is."

For some reason, being more anxious than usual about his beloved Aunt Elle, the pup asked him for what should be the thousandth time that evening when the Human man went downstairs to get something to drink in the kitchen.

... However, this time, his father also joined the little boy...

"Are you sure about this, Aaron? It's getting late, and Sabrina is starting to get worried as well since Giselle would be already back from her grandmother's atelier by now if she had gone there as usual.

Having similar thoughts in his mind, Aaron wanted to say that this day wasn't as simple as the others to his father, even if he knew that he shouldn't do that...

"I'm sorry, dad. But I don't know." Once his lies began to sound more and more natural, even though it wasn't a lie, Aaron could stop the feeling of how it felt like one. "She had already left when I woke up this morning, that I didn't even get to talk to her earlier."

And while he tried to keep as much control as he had over his words and the expressions on his face, the young man's worries grew more and more, sensing somehow that something bad would happen at any moment soon...

"Do you truly want my help?" Her words were enough to fill me with doubts after hearing them, my mind turning into a mess for what felt like the thousandth time that day while my voice disappeared, leaving me unable to tell her that it was truly what I wanted.

... But whether it was what I really wanted or not now seemed to be the big unstoppable question in my mind, waking up a hurricane of emotions that made it even worse...

"... You don't have to answer me this today. But I want you to think it over as I said; the consequences for messing with the link between you and your Soulmate are unimaginable, and no Witch knows what can happen because of it."

Holding my left hand, she comforted me in the same way Ria had done earlier while subtly touching something at my fingertips that I couldn't see.

"You two..." Adding up, she started to say before she changed her mind as a tired sigh left her lips, leaving wonder if she had done something else with her powers that I wasn't aware of. "You two are so tangled up in a messy relationship that I can understand why you are so puzzled by it all, but in any way, be sure to give me an answer tomorrow. Good night."

And one the same way she had appeared in my room out of nowhere, she left just like that after releasing my hand, creating more doubts in my head than I couldn't even understand where they came from.

... After all, she left me alone there with only her words that continued to echo through my mind for the rest of the night…

I couldn't deny that the consequences she claimed to exist made me afraid about what I should do while there was no one I could talk to since I knew that both Noah and Selie would try to convince me otherwise if they heard me out about this.

... Selena, especially as she had just said it as a crazy idea instead of something that she was truly recommending to me to do...

But my smartphone interfered with such thoughts when it rang after I turned it on again, announcing a new message that had arrived... Or rather, the several ones that showed up out of the blue while I didn't expect anyone would look for me today.

Most of them belonged strangely to Aaron, and if one didn't know him, they might even think he was worried about me, yet I knew better than that.

He was clearly annoyed that the others kept asking him about me since he was the only one at home when I left, mentioning how Eddy was the worse, asking him every five seconds when I was coming home to play with him.

... And as I took a deep breath... I considered a few times whether or not I could answer him until something came to my mind...

"Hey, Jiya. Are you still in the Pack's house, or have you already gone home?"

Casually, I asked my friend when she took my call without knowing about half of the things that had happened and were happening to me.

"Can you do me a favor then? Can you inform my family that I'm going to spend a few days with Noah and his Mate, please? I was going to call them, but you know how Eddy gets when I'm traveling, and I call them."

"... Okay, I will do so. But what is going on, Elle? You never told me you would go with Noah today."

"Sorry, Jiya. It completely slipped away from my mind as I've been quite busy with the boutique lately, but I'll be back in a few days... So, don't worry."

Hesitating for a moment, somehow I didn't feel that it was something correct to say when I remembered the side effects mentioned by the Witch earlier.

But still, my friend agreed with me with another simple okay before telling me to say hi to Noah and Ria for her before we said our goodbyes, and I finally finished putting away my things... Allowing me to lie down on the bed comfortably this time.

...An action which I needed much more than usual that day as my eyes grew heavy when I hugged the pillow, thinking about my Mate and pup back at home...

I couldn't forget to ask the Winter Witch if Edward might also be affected due to my choices before I could make a final decision since I didn't want it to affect my bond with him in any way. After all, nothing would be able to break my heart more than the fact that he could no longer run around in his wolf form with me as he loved.

... The sad face he would do if he could no longer shift with me when the Alphas weren't present was something I would never want to see.
