Chapter 21
Chapter 21 - Took My Shirt Off For Him
“Give me my pills,” I demanded once I reckoned he wasn’t letting me go. If he wants me to stay, he better gives me my pills.
“Why? What else is your wolf asking you to do?” Zane pulled me over his chest, his eyes looking at my lips only.
“Zane!” I closed my eyes, feeling this weird energy in my body, and the next thing I heard was Zane flinching in pain and pulling
away from me.
‘“UGHH!” he let out a cry, making me open my eyes and look at him. His palms were red as if they have been set on fire.
As an Alpha, he healed the next second, but it didn’t take the awkwardness away. He was watching my face as if he was
confused.
“Your body turned hot as an iron. How did you do that?” Zane yelled, his eyes looking me up and down as I closed my eyes to
get rid of the blurriness of my vision. I could no longer care what he was saying or if we were mates.
‘He played you,’ I heard her say. ‘Punish him,’ she hissed, and my body shuddered.
“Why don’t you come closer and ask me again?” I said, hearing the change in my voice but unable to react to it. | was aware of
the change I was feeling in my body, but acting on her commands seemed more important to me.
“Beatrice! What is happening to you? Are you feeling okay?” Zane asked as he looked for my medicine in his pocket.
The weather has turned hotter to where even the colors from the world disappeared. Everything looked so hot.
“My back hurts!” I shivered and tried running my hand back to rub my back. The area between my shoulders seemed to be in so
much pain that it became hard for me to stay standing.
‘What area is hurting?” he rushed towards me but I feared I will hurt him again. So, I raised my hand to him and shook my head.
“Don’t come closer,” I requested, not sure how can a weak omega like me could hurt a powerful alpha king like him, but my mind
was playing games with me at this point.
“Hey! I got you.” he shoved his hand in his pocket and grabbed the pill bottle for me.
“My skin is burning,” I whimpered, falling to my knees again as I tried to get up. I swear my shirt was getting stuck with something
moist between my shoulders.
“Take this.” before I can endure more pain, Zane knelt down with me and forced a pill into my mouth.
“NO!” I felt heat coming out of my mouth as I screamed at him for making me eat that thing again. I wanted to be free, my wolf
wanted to be free, but it was too late. He had already fed me that thing again.
“Argh! Why did you do that?” Clenching my Jaw, I demanded he explains himself.
‘Hey! what happened to your voice?” his eyebrows knit together whilst he gently rested his hand on my back. I no longer felt the
pain. In fact, I began to feel very drowsy.
The weather felt cold again, and my body lumped to the side. The instant I noticed Zane was trying to hold me, I warned him to
stay away from me.
“Zane! I’m warning y—,” I started to feel sleepy suddenly. I don’t know what happened, but maybe I have exhausted my body
with all the stress and physical activity.
Zane finally held onto my body when he noticed my eyelids closing. I could no longer feel any strength in my knees. The moment
I got up again, my body collapsed, but Zane was quick enough to hold me in his arms and slowly sat me down.
“What is happening? Are you feeling fine?” He inquired, while I rested my head on his chest.
“I’m just so sleepy,” I yawned, feeling comfortable. All the pressure from before was fading away now.
“You are bleeding from your back,” I heard him complain, but I was too tired to sit and argue with him. I closed my eyes and slept
in peace.
No matter how hard I tried to keep myself calm when I am not on medication, I lose every time. It must be my wolf. Although I am
an omega, the surge in energy when my wolf began to take over made me feel invincible. It was a different heat my body felt at
that time.
Zane must have brought me home because I woke up in my bed while Zane was walking around my bed.
“I am glad you woke up. I needed to clean your wound.” he had an aid box in his hands as he sat in the bed with me.
“My wounds?” I pursed my lips in confusion while massaging my eyebrows. It seemed like I was taking my sweet time getting my
memory back of the incident before falling asleep.
‘When I found you on the road, your back was bleeding,” his voice was pretty clear now. My ears no longer felt heavy.
But I didn’t remember exactly what happened, that I bled like that.
“Come on, take off your shirt and let me take a look,” Zane said without looking at me. I bet he knew what he was demanding
from me, hence he stole eyes from me.
“I am not taking off my shirt in front of you.” I shook my head, but he seemed pretty adamant about cleaning my wound.
“Beatrice! You shouldn’t be very shy with me now. Remember what we felt back when you are going crazy on the road?” that
little smirk was back on his lips when he rested his hands on the bed and bent down to the level of my face.
“Oh!” I gasped in disbelief. How did J forget that?
I did feel a mate bond with him. But what about it? He wasn’t mad that I was his fated mate?
“You are not going to be disgusted about having me for a mate?” I asked him and he shook his head instantly in response.
“Why would I? you are not that bad.” his eyes scanned my face with a smile appearing and disappearing on his lips.
This was the first time that any of my mates looked so positive after finding out we were mates.
‘Now come on! Take off your shirt. Mates don’t feel shy around each other.” He taught me, eyeing me to do as he had asked me
to.
Nodding my head at his words, I took off my shirt.
