redith.
Azul helped back into my bedroom and tucked in. I was already feeling delirious at this ti.
"My lady, I will ask Kira to get your dinner, and Deidra will bring so pills for your fever," Azul said, her tone laced with kindness as she patted my fingers gently.
I nodded slowly, then she stepped aside.
I didn’t know what was wrong with , but whatever it was felt so unsettling. I felt chills deep in my bones yet, my skin was scorching hot.
I snuggled under my duvet and hugged myself.
A few minutes later, Kira and Deidra were both by my bedside. I couldn’t see them, my eyes were shut, too tired to look. Their scents was what helped recognize them.
Then, they spoke.
"My lady, let help you up. Your dinner is here," Kira said, already reaching for the hem of my duvet. She grasped it and pulled it down, revealing my face.
By the ti I was sitting up, Deidra had closed a part of the curtains and returned to my side. She fed so pills before Kira gently shoved a poon into my hand.
The braised pork in my plate looked so appetising.
The al before was just a one plate braised pork with boiled white rice, boiled eggs and a little portion of greens by the side.
I went for the rice first. It was tasteless, but I didn’t mind. Then I tried the braised pork next. It was delicious.
Before I could get a hold of myself, I was trying to eat the last spoon of food on my plate without minding the noise that was made from my spoon clanking against the empty ceramic plate.
"I will get you more food." Kira turned sharply and dashed out of the room before I could respond. Also, she didn’t bother to take the plates with her.
Deidra smiled gently at and said, "My lady, it’s good you are eating properly these days. You always pick at your food and barely et the daily basic nutrient requirent."
Deidra thought I was ashad for eating so hungrily and tried to comfort , but I was not.
Instead, I was afraid.
Unlike she thought, I didn’t think it was normal for to eat in that manner. Even when I ate alone comfortably in my room, I have never rushed my food.
I didn’t say anything to Deidra. I sat quietly in the sa spot as she used a shawl to wrap around my shoulders.
I was grateful for that.
Kira returned in no ti. She brought a bigger portion of food than the first round.
I ate until I was satisfied before gesturing for her to take the leftover food away.
"Did you get the food from the dining hall?" I asked her, trying to adjust my sitting position on the bed.
I had wanted to lie down after drinking a glass of water when Azul ca in and said I wasn’t allowed to do that because I had just finished eating.
"No, my lady. I went straight to the kitchen," Kira replied.
I slowly nodded and looked away.
Sowhere in my heart, I was expecting one of them, Dennis, to ask about . And I was also tempted to ask Kira if Draven had asked after .
After a few minutes of sitting up, I laid back on the bed.
"How do you feel now, my lady?" Azul inquired, tucking back in.
"Better."
Surprisingly, I was feeling better than before. I don’t know if it was the ds or the food that did the trick, but I was back to myself, a bit. And that saves the trouble of thinking about how to deal with fever and my heat at the sa ti.
---
The fever was gone by the ti I woke up the next morning, but the warmth remained.
Azul stared carefully at as I slowly sat up on the bed after she woke up.
"Good morning, my lady," she greeted, leaning away.
"Good morning, Azul." I returned her greeting, stretching my arms while battling to stifle my yawn when I caught the glow in her eyes. She was still watching .
"Is there sothing on my face?" I inquired, imdiately bringing my arms down. The sleep, gone from my eyes.
She shook her head. "In fact, there is nothing on your face."
My brows knitted. I didn’t understand what she ant, and I didn’t bother.
I got up from the bed just in ti for Kira and Deidra to enter the room with two descent dresses in both hands, one in my favourite lavender colour while the other was deep crimson.
"Which one would you like to wear today, my lady?" Deidra inquired.
I didn’t waste ti before choosing the purple dress. Not because it was my favourite, but because I didn’t want to wear anything red and inviting today.
My heat was going to explode tonight, I needed to tone down whatever sort of attraction from my side.
I insisted on washing myself after I climbed into the bath.
Fortunately, my maidservants didn’t argue with . They let do whatever I wanted, and I was happy they didn’t ask why.
How would I explain that I was afraid of them seeing sothing sticky in-between my legs if they washed ?
I knew for a fact they wouldn’t judge , but I couldn’t let them see it. No matter what.
As I ran the loofah through my body while soaking in the warm bath, I imagined a pair of rough hands doing that for . And before I could restrain myself, my bad was already resting on the tub, my legs patted.
I was alone.
Azul and Deidra left after I insisted on taking over. So, I was free to shalessly run my hands through my body while imagining, without fear of anyone watching.
I couldn’t place a face to my vision, but I know the hands were creeping in slowly after running through the length of my thighs.
I rubbed my thighs together, my breaths, coming in heavy as a pair of fingers gathered at my clits.
It was my fingers. I was touching myself.
I beca aware of that fact after Kira’s voice made it past my mirage.
"My lady, you are going to be late for breakfast."
Screw the breakfast.

~**Draven**~
I heard redith was sick hence the reason she didn’t show up for dinner.
Rhovan tried every thod he could, even resorting to threats just to get to go check on her, but I had vowed that I wouldn’t go to her that night, so, I didn’t go.
But to my surprise, redith was already at the table, sitting in her usual position, chuckling at sothing Dennis said, when I walked in.
Her eyes fell on and imdiately, her smile disappeared.
Everyone at the table stood up to acknowledge my presence.
"Sit," my calm voice rang out.
As soon as I settled down at the head chair, they all took their seats.
I didn’t sll anything out of the ordinary today. Yesterday looked like today would have already been a disaster by now, but sohow, it was looking better.
Or maybe, it wasn’t ti yet.
My gaze occasionally fell on redith as she used her cutlery today.
She was acting a bit well-mannered unlike the previous two days where she acted like sothing had suddenly co over.
It had my head, flooding back with mories from that night under the moonlight. It wasn’t a full moon back then.
Sothing about redith wasn’t right.
I would have loved to find out more from her unfortunately, she wasn’t the one to open up. It was as if she had secrets stashed away in layers.
She would imdiately bring under the fire if I asked questions too personal.
"Alpha," Wanda drew my attention. Since that day I spoke harshly to her she hadn’t found her way to .
"Are you leading the training this morning?" she inquired.
Normally, she would have called by my na, but it seed she was keeping her distance on purpose, as if to make a point to .
"Yes," I replied, keeping my gaze on her briefly. But as soon as my gaze returned to my good, she called my attention back.
Managing a smile, she said, eting my gaze, "Levi will be coming over to Duskmoor so ti around next week. I need your permission to invite him to stay under your roof for the duration he would be here for."
"What is he coming to Duskmoor for?" I frowned.
"My father wants him to pay a visit, and at the sa ti see what is happening over here with us, and the humans," she replied without mincing words.
I wasn’t surprised at Reginald’s impatience, sending his own son to get news about the latest information in Duskmoor. The man just didn’t know how to wait.
And it had beco a very bad habit of his.
"How long will your brother be staying?" I asked, furrowing my brows.
I didn’t want soone from Reginald staying under my roof longer than I would accept. But Wanda was my friend, and she had asked nicely, so, I considered.
"Three days."
I looked away from her. I was silent for a few seconds before turning to her.
"I expect the three days your brother will be here would be peaceful. I want him keeping to the rules and not exceeding his boundaries. He can’t put his eyes where he shouldn’t. And definitely, under no circumstances should he have information about any of our plans."
Wanda nodded, exhaling in relief. "Of course. Levi wouldn’t overstep. And I will be sure to make it easy he understood."
