Chapter Chapter forty six
“She will be here soon” He groaned. I appreciate his exercise of self-control because all my wolf wants is to jump at him and mate with him but I knew that was not what I wanted.
“I don't_think_” Lucian started leaning closer to me. I didn't try to push him away despite knowing he wanted to kiss me. I wanted it too. Maybe just my wolf but it does not mean I was not feeling what my wolf was feeling. So instead of standing up, I stayed put in his arms excepting his kiss that never came.
“Fuck!” He growled his fangs out and his green eyes now gold. I looked up and saw Ri massaging her fist.
“Let’s go. Sorry, Lucian” She apologised for the punch as she carried me bridal style to the car she drove here. She helped me lie down in the back seat as she went to the driver's side seat to start the engine of the car to take us out of here.
It took everything in me not to break down and cry. My body felt like it was on fire. And my wolf was horny. The heat period worsens each time and this time being the fourth did not make things better for me. I already rolled to the floor of the car.
“Are you alright?” Ri asked when she heard the hard thud of me falling.
“Yes. Please drive faster” I begged.
“We are here. I already had the maid prepare ice in the bathtub” She informed me. My body was already weak I leaned on her and let her help me to my room. She opened the door and did not see any ice in my bathtub.
“I gave her clear instructions!” Rip was already getting angry.
“She probably thought it was your own bathtub” I tried to reason with her despite the pain I was in. Sis nodded agreeing with me. She didn't let me walk this time. She carried me to her bathroom quickly leaving me on the floor. She removed my gown then the shirt leaving me in my panties only. She placed me inside the tub filled with ice. I felt a little bit better but my soft still burned. I didn't see this to Ri. There was nothing she could do. Why worry her?
Tears fell from my eyes as the pain became worse.
“Do you need more ice?” She asked. I nodded not so sure more ice was going to help my situation.
She stood up immediately and was back in less than five minutes. She placed the ice in my body in such a way that it stayed directly on me. This helped but my tears kept falling.
“I’m sorry I can't do anything” She murmured.
“You are doing exactly what I need you to do” I forced myself to say when she held my hands in the ice kissing them. Close to the morning sleep engulfed my tired body so I closed my eyes and let sleep take me. I felt lifted but I didn't wake up.
********
I already woke up and Ri was awake too.
“How do you feel”
“Physically fine. Emotionally terribly” I answered truthfully.
“What’s wrong?” She asked running her hands through my hair as I let my body relax in her embrace.
“I just had to ruin the first outing that felt like a date” I complained.
“You won't be undergoing heat if he hadn't marked you so looking at it that way, it's his fault” I chuckled at her explanation.
“I guess so. If we put it that way. I was having a great time” I told her.
“I could tell. There are other chances to spend some more time with Lucian. Yesterday wasn't your fault” She assured me. I hugged her even while I was resting my head down on her shoulder. She laughed.
“Thank you for keeping your promise”
“I’m glad I'm keeping it,” She said patting my hair as we talked.
Someone suddenly barged it. I visibly relaxed when I saw that the person was Lucian. He had a frown on his face and I could see he was having a mind link with his sister. She went still against me immediately removing her hands from my hair. Lucian then looked at me his expression calm.
“How do feel?” He asked. I nodded, yes.
“I feel better” I answered. He moved closer to the bed looking at Ri. She stood up faking a smile at me. What is going on?
“I’ll take it from here. Thanks, Henrietta” He said carrying me.
“See you later” I smiled at her.
“Yea_” Why does she sound off. Before I could ask any questions Lucian already carried me out. He took me to my room and tucked me in bed. He kissed my cheeks.
“I am sorry about last night Raina. I had no idea it was the full moon” He apologised.
“I forgot about it too. It's fine” I replied.
“If I hadn't marked you, you won't be in so much pain because of me”.
“It’s done so instead of wallowing in self regret why don't you make it up to me and bring me food” I smiled trying to get his mind off yesterday’s event.
“Ok but before I leave I have a request”
“What is it?” I asked.
“I can't you to move to my room, my floor at least” He answered. I frowned at him.
“No” I responded.
“Why no?” He sounded shocked. Did he think I was going to take him up on his request?.
“I just settled in this room after a month you don't expect to just move again and get used to another room” I explained.
“For one week. You've stressed your body for two weeks and I just want to take care of you and look after you. I can't do that if we are so far away from each other”
“Just one week?” I asked to be sure. I won’t lie, I know I need the rest.
“Yes. I promise just a week so you can have a full-time rest and I will be sure you won't just shift and run off again” He added.
“I think you should get me breakfast before I change my mind” I joked. He laughed.
“We don't want that, do we?” He left the room.
I had my bath and changed into a shirt before I went back to my bed and waited for Lucian to come back. Not long after he entered looking a mess. His hair was rough, sweat running down his face. I looked at him confused.
“What happened to you?” I asked laughing.
“Let’s just say I am not a very good cook” He confessed dropping the tray on my bed before he sat on the chair moving it closer to my bed.
“Thank you,” I said eating a piece of meat from the white bowl. Well done. I moved to the egg and gosh it was salty. I smiled when I swallowed it.
“A little less salt next time but thank you for breakfast,” I said as I continued my breakfast of bacon and egg with the extra bowl of meat.
“I can get someone to make you a real breakfast” He offered.
“This is real breakfast. I'm good” I assured him but he did not look very happy with the choice but he did not argue with me on it. I finished breakfast even though I couldn't halfway through the bowl of meat I ate close to five, I think.
“I can teach you to cook sometime. If you want of course” I quickly added.
“I'd love that. Now you have to rest. I'll be back in time for lunch” He promised. I nodded as he kissed my forehead leaving the room.
