Mia and Her Alpha

Chapter 21-Escape From Suffocation

I didn't know what to reply. I didn't have a good reason and there was no way in hell that I was telling him the real reason. My instincts took control. I slammed my foot down onto his making him release my chin. I bolted out of the park. I was a luna and the daughter of an alpha allowing me to run faster except I didn't know the city at all. I ran down each block trying to find a way out as the five men trailed behind me. I decided to head down Chestnut Street which with my luck ended up being a dead end.

The men trapped me not leaving any possible exit. All their fists were clenched as they gritted their teeth.

"I see we have a luna on our hands." The leader spoke.

"What are we going to do with her?" The smallest called.

"Whatever the fuck we want to!" The man roared.

Images of what they would do popped up in my head. I was scared, but it seemed to be better than being back at the pack.

"Leave her alone." A familiar voice yelled as he walked down the street towards the men.

The five men turned around and immediately moved to the sides to make a path for the man. My eyes were astonished by who they were seeing.

"Aiden," I spoke.

My words made the men turn their attention from him to me. I could tell they were full of fright. They were scared of Aiden.

As Aiden walked past them, the men bowed their heads. He was the real leader.

"Are you alright Mia?" He asked in a concerning tone.

"I'm fine." I smiled.

"Sir. We didn't know that you knew her." One of the men spoke.

Aiden turned his attention away from me and towards them.

"Don't you ever touch her again. Got it?" Aiden demanded.

The men nodded their heads before running away.

"Come with me," Aiden spoke before grabbing my hand.

We walked down a few blocks until we came upon a small baby blue duplex that sat between two brick apartment buildings. We walked onto an unleveled living room.

"Your floor is not even." I blurted out.

"It gives character. Anyway, make yourself at home." Aiden laughed.

Aiden walked towards the kitchen leaving me alone in the living space. I quickly turned on the television and plopped myself on the burgundy couch. The television automatically turned onto a screen filled with eight boxes that were showing different camera angles of the town.

Aiden came back with a bag full of eyes wrapped in a towel for my bleeding and bruised chin. Aiden sat down next to me as I put my hand out to take the ice from him.

"I can do it. I don't mind." Aiden said.

Aiden leaned in closer to me and placed the ice on my chin. The ice burned at first but soon turned soothing. Aiden and I just stared into each other's eyes. We began leaning into each other until our lips pressed. Five seconds felt nice, but I had to rip my lips away. I had a terrible feeling inside. Despite everything, I still felt like I cheated on Lucas.

We both sat back in the couch staring at the television instead of each other. We both had no clue what to say. The silence was menacing. I wanted to speak up to end the dreadful silence, but I didn't want to give the wrong impression. I didn't want him to think that I didn't enjoy the kiss or that I did enjoy the kiss. It was both. My life is so complicated.
