No one Pov's . "I pay you back for the help you did to me by cooking food for you. So, you can leave from here. " Aana muttered, leaving Aaron in utter shock. He looks at her devastatingly where Aana maintains a poker expression not wanting to show any emotion to him. "What do you mean by payback?" he asked, raising his eyebrow. Aana could feel that he is hurt and shocked by her words but she didn't change her intention to push him away. "What do you think, I won't get what you're trying to do. At first, you followed me and heard my conversation with Elisa, then you took Alice to a restaurant, and now this breakfast drama… it's all because you were feeling pity on me that I hadn't eaten anything" She said and then bowed her eyes. "I'm thankful for your help but sorry I don't want your sympathy" Aana screeched, he tightened his lips not to say anything that will hurt her or yell at her. He looked at Aana who was not looking at him because she also knows that she will not be able to continue her drama of being arrogant. "Why you're not looking into my eyes?" He asked. She sighed and looked at him, knowing that he would not believe her drama of not having any feelings for him, if she didn't look into his eyes. "Thank you for making me feel like a beggar who can't afford her food. " A tear rolled from her eyes. He was about to wipe her tears but she pushed his hand away. "Don't" She hissed. "What's your problem?" he screeched, trying to be as calm as he could. He was getting pissed at the way she was pushing him away again and again. "My problem is this mate bond," she muttered looking into his eyes. It would be a lie if he said that her words didn't hurt him. "So?" He asked controlling Rex who wanted to come to the surface to handle the situation but Aaron didn't want his wolf to push Aana into a relationship that she doesn't want. "So please leave me on to myself. I don' t need your sympathy" . "I wish you could understand that it is not sympathy but my genuine care for you ," He said and passed a card toward her. "This is my office card

I offer you a job because I trust your qualifications. If you feel like working with me then receive your job letter from reception and join my office and yes, I promise you that you will be my coworker and I will be your boss over there. so there is no need to worry… I will stay within my limits. Now it's up to you whether you accept my offer or not '' He said and left her flat before she could say something. Aana took that card in her hand and read his nam e on it 'Aaron Smith'. A smile broke her lips re membering the moment when he introduced himself. "You like him, right?" Alice aske d. Aana tears that card in two pi eces and throws it in the dustbin. "no. I have no right to like him" She answered and started cleaning the table. After clearing everything in the kitche n, Aana went to her room which was now reminding her of Aaron who held her in his arms and calmed her down when she had a panic attack. she took out her sleeping pill from the side drawer and took it then lay down on the bed closing her eyes. "Till when you will take these tablets to avoid the situa tion, Aana," Alice asked her human but like usual she did n't answer anything but a lone tear rolled from her eyes. Other side Aaron came out of the building furiously when his eyes went to Christian who was waiting for Aaron out side. Christian rushed towards him and opened the car's back door for him. Aaron nodded and sat on the back seat w hile Christian sat on the seat near the driver and then looked at Aaron who signalled the driver to start the car. "What happened? Do you want to ask something?" Aaron asked Christian who was turning his head towards him e very other minute like he wanted to ask him something. "How is she?" He asked. Aaron tightened his fist upon hearing his que stion because he could hear his heartbeat pounding loudly like a pers on's heart pounds highly when they think about someone whom he likes. "How do you know h er?" Aaron asked i nstead of replying. "Remember I told you about a girl whom I met with an accident?" Aaron nodded his head remembering that moment. Christian and Aaron are like best friends wh o share everything with each other except one truth of Aaron being a werewolf. "I was driving my car when her brother came in front of my car and asked help for her sister who was half conscious and her naked body was covered in a coat while there was blood strain on her coat and many bruises all over her face. Coincidentally I know her brother as a psychiatrist of my sister who went into depression and drugs but thankful ly she recovered. That day I helped them and took them to the centre where her brother worked. In that drive only I came to know her name is Alice when her brother was calling her continuously and telling her to keep her eyes open

When we reached the hospital he gave her some antidotes and after seeing her, I'm sure her condition was not diffe rent from my sister's. She was into drugs" Christian mumbled and started remembering that moment when Alice was whimpering in pain because of the wolfsbane dose in Aana's body. Anyone would shiver to the core, listening to her screams in pain. Where Aaron was shocked hearing Christian about Aana taking drugs. He was not able to digest this fact. "Her brother took a sample and gave it to me to send to a doctor for a blood report. As I tol d you he knows me that's why he trusted me with his sister just like I trust you as a friend. When the report came, my doubt cleared that there was a high amount of drugs in her blood. "She stayed around 2 months in a rehabilitation centre while half of the day her brother used to stay around her and when her brothers went out, he made me stay here wit h a promise not to leave her side. I used to find topics to talk to her but she always ignored me and then I came to know she was in some shock because of which she lost her voice. " A tear rolled from Aaron's eyes hearing Christian. It was like he was imagining her in that condition and it hurt him like he was in that condition, not Aana. "After lots of counselling by her brother, she became a little normal and along with this she started talking to me as well, not like a friend but at least she was replying to my question. I don't know how but I fell in love with her. I became used to seeing her face every morning and spending time with her was my favourite part of the day" Christian said with a big smile on her face seein g it, Rex growled in Aaron's mind angrily because of jealousy. He hated Christians's smile while talking about her mate. Well, Aaron's feelings are not different. He was also envious of Christian. "One day, I decided to te ll her my feelings and pro pose to her for marriage" . "What" Aaron yelled so loudly that Dri ver applied the break in fear where Ch ristian was looking at him shockingly. "You did what?" He asked again, gritting his teeth angrily, unkn owingly realising his Alpha aura. "What happened to you, sir ?" Christian asked him in f ear, seeing him so furious. "Get out of my sight before I lose control over my anger," Aaron said. Before Christian could go outside of the car, Aaron himself hopped down from the car and smashed the door angrily then went inside his office. "He told me to get out of his sight and then he himself hopped down from the car" Christ ian mumbled in confusion, not able to understand what happened to his boss all of sudden . Aaron was walking like a bull, going towards his cabin, burning in a fire of jealousy
