Broken Luna

Chapter 17 - Only waffles can satisfy

TRIGGER WARNING!

Alexandria

I don't know when I woke up but I've been laying here in Aden's arms for what felt like forever. So comfortable in his embrace I let myself be carried away in his sleeping bliss. This is what I have longed for my entire life and always thought I'd never have.

Even my wolf was enjoying our morning in Aden's arms.

Unfortunately the need to pee finally kicked in and with a groan, I had to get up. Slowly I wiggled my way out of Aden's arms carefully not to wake him up. I couldn't help but stare at his sleeping figure, especially his naked torso that was free from the blankets.

Taring my gaze from Aden I quickly speed walked to the bathroom attempting to make as little noise as possible. Done and satisfied I made a quick decision to have my shower since I was already in here.

Before getting into the big shower I stripped down and took my hair out of a bun. Stepping in I let the warm water relax my mussels. Under the running water, I couldn't help but smile about all that happened yesterday. My life felt a whole lot brighter now.

Remembering yesterday put a smile on my face and looking back made me realise that being afraid of Aden seemed so pointless now. He has proven himself time and time again. What was the point again in fighting him. What was my wolf so scared of when he has done everything to make us feel safe.

Yes, the start was a little rough but he proved that he can take responsibility for his actions. I can't forgive and forget too fast but I can't hold a grudge forever.

As the water rolled down my face I suddenly remembered that I was forgetting a big part of yesterday. The photo. When that thought crossed my mind, fear gripped me triggering a flashback of the slimy man screaming at me in the rain.

His screams echoed in my head to change over and over again. When I did change under his hovering body I was naked and scared so desperate to cover-up but he took hold of my arms. Leaning into my ear I couldn't help but flinch as his worlds echoed into my head, "one day."

Screaming I fell to the floor hugging my legs to my chest letting the uncontrollable shacking take over my petrified body. I couldn't erase his face from my mind it took over every part of me. Every hit of water running down my body brought me back to that moment. His promise was too much for me and I couldn't help but feel like he was going to be back to fulfil it.

"Alexandria!" I bearly could here a distent voice yell over the rushing sound of my blood pounding in my ears and the echoes of the memories that plagued me.

A sense of relief washed over me as arms wrapped my body making the nightmare memories disappear. The warm strong hold on me calmed my racing heart. I don't know how long I stayed like this with tears running down my face but I didn't care. All I wanted to do was get lost in his arms once again.

"Sh sh I'm here Little mouse." He cooed while wiping away my tears. His voice was sweet and thick like syrup and all I wanted was to bathe in it.

Settling my own tears I finally looked up to Aden's eyes suddenly feeling very vulnerable. Realising where I was my eyes widened and I instantly looked down between us. I had a towel wrapped around my body easing my racing mind just a little. Why do I care he is my mate after all.

For some reason, my wolf didn't care and I started to think she was warmed up to the idea of Aden. I cared though because I didn't want him to see me like this.

I didn't like him seeing me so broken.

It seemed Aden knew what I was thinking because he reassured me, "I didn't see anything if that is what you are worried about."
