My little mate, aria

6. Bad dreams

Christian

"Aria, get your ass up. I won't tell you again," I shouted from the kitchen. "Just one day. Just one, that's all I freaking ask," aria mumbled. If it wasn't for my sharp wolf hearing, I wouldn't of been able to hear her. "That was yesterday. Now get up and come get your breakfast," I called out. I heard footsteps coming down the stairs then arms around my waist. I turned my head to see aria pouting at me. "Do I have to go?" She gave me puppy eyes. "Yes. So don't try puppy eyes little wolf," I laughed. She huffed and let go of me. I shook my head and placed a plate of eggs, bacon, hash browns, beans and toast in front of her. "Thanks," she mumbled. I sat down on the island with her as we both ate. Josh, James, jack and Patrick all came in and started taking food from arias plate. "Brilliant, not like I'm hungry," she pushed her plate towards them. "Seriously guys. Every morning," I looked at them. "Sorry aria," they smiled sheepishly at her. I pushed my plate over to her which she gladly took. "What about you alpha?" Josh raised one eyebrow. "What about me?" I shrugged. "I am off to a meeting. I won't be back til late so make sure you go to training and clean your room," I told aria. "Whatever you say alpha," aria rolled her eyes. "Don't roll your eyes at me young lady," I frowned. "Or what?" Aria smirked. God damn teenagers. "I'll take your phone away for a week," I threatened. "If you can get it," she swung it in front of my face. I went to grab it but she pulled it away. "To slow old man," aria smiled. "Aria Penelope Smith just do as I say," I huffed out. "Sure," she shrugged. "Really?" I was surprised. As a thirteen year old, aria was a real pain in the ass. "Nope. I don't want to go to training," aria got up and ran out of the kitchen. "Aria," I ran after her. "She is going to be the best Luna," Patrick mumbled and laughed. "She's a pain in the ass," I shouted. "You love me really," aria stopped and turned around to me. "Not when your a pain in the ass. Now go get ready for training. I'll take you so you actually go," I told her. "What's in it for me?" Aria put one hand on her hip. "For me to not drag you to training in your pyjamas," I smirked. "Your so annoying," aria let out a frustrated sound and walked up the stairs. "You love me really," I called up to her. "Whatever helps you sleep at night princess," she laughed. "Im a pretty princess," I made my voice high pitched. "Like the frogs at the lake in the woods," aria giggled. "I can be a frog as well," I joked. "No you can't," aria stopped and turned to me. "Why's that then?" I smiled. "Because your a wolf. You can't be a 'pretty princess," aria mimicked my voice. "Or a frog. Anyway, frogs are disgusting," she shivered and stuck her tongue out. "So I'm not disgusting?" I chuckled. "I wouldn't say that. Your... alright," aria smirked and I heard laughing behind me. James, Josh, jack and Patrick were all stood there holding their stomachs as they laughed. "What?" Me and aria exclaimed. "You two, are so childish together," Josh managed to get out. "It's so entertaining," James wheezed. "Pretty princess," jack laughed harder. "Your alright," Patrick doubled over. "And we're the childish ones?" Aria had one hand on her hip as she looked at the boys. "You should have seen yourselves. I should have filmed it," Patrick wiped his eyes. They all had red faces and glossed over eyes. I shook my head then turned back to aria. "Go get ready. Well leave in five," I told her. She nodded and ran up to her room.
Once I dropped aria off at her training, I left to go to the meeting.

Aria

Christian Left to go to his meeting. I was stuck at training that I didn't really need anymore since I could beat all of the kids in my class. When I had got out of the car, Betty, my best friend ran up to me and hugged me. "Alpha," she bowed her head when she let go of me. "Hello Betty. Tell your dad I'm off to a meeting, he's in charge for the day," Christian told her. "Of course alpha," Betty smiled. "Remember aria, don't forget to clean your room when your done here. I'll get Patrick to check as well," he looked at me. "Fine," I rolled my eyes. "What have I told you about rolling your eyes?" Christian sounded mad but I could see him trying to hide a smile. "Can't hear your. Got to go train. Bye," I slammed the door shut and walked away with Betty hot on my trail. "How does he let you speak to him like that?" Betty asked sounding amazed. "Like what?" I laughed. "Like your not a pack member. Like your his equal, because he lets you get away with it as well," Betty replied. "I'm not sure. Maybe because he's looked after me since I was five and sees me as his kid or something," I shrugged. "Ok, stop talking. Let's get started," the trainer called out. Everyone went silent and we began our training.

As I was driving back to my house, it got dark and the only light I had was my car lights and the moon. It was around 10pm so I knew aria would be asleep. I parked my car and went into the house. I heard the tv on in the living room. When I got there, aria was passed out while the lion king played. I shook my head and turned off the tv then picked aria up bridal style. Once I got up to her room, the floor was spotless so it was easier for me to put her to bed unlike the other times. After I layed her down, I pulled the covers over her then placed a kiss on her forehead. After I left arias room, I got to mine and went for a shower. When I was done, I put on a pair of boxers and grey joggers. I layed down in my bed letting sleep take over.

My door opened and the smell of cotton candy, mint and chocolate filled my room. "Christian," a small voice whispered. I looked up to see aria crying, she had tears rolling down her cheeks like a pool. I shot up out of bed and hugged her. Aria sobbed into my chest as I held her. "Bad dream?" I asked and she nodded. "Same one?" I closed my eyes, and once again, aria nodded. Without breaking the hug, I pulled aria over to my bed and hugged her. Like the last 8 years, I comforted aria so she could sleep. Almost every night since she was eight, aria has had the same dream. It's her fifth birthday and rogues attack, she sees her mum and dad getting killed but that's all she tells me. Not long after, arias breathing goes level so I closed my eyes going back to sleep myself.
