Chapter 31 Sinful Flames

• They spent the entire night in the bathtub filled with cold water. Throughout the night, he changed the water several times and kept her close. Doing everything he could to lessen her pain. When the sun came up and her temperature dropped, he assisted her in getting out of the water. He brought out one of his shirts and a fresh pair of boxers. Male wolves specifically Lycans and Alpha's are very possessive over their mate when they are going through heat. He wanted her to be surrounded by his scent alone, thus he wanted her to be in his clothes. After drying her hair, neck, and legs, he handed her the clothes and a fresh towel and returned to the closet to change and give her privacy to change as well. He was dressed in a grey shirt and black slacks. He mind-linked for breakfast and got out of the closet. She had just worn the boxers and was putting her hands through the sleeves of her shirt. Her back was exposed for him to see. His hot gaze swept over her exposed skin, coming to a halt over a tattoo of a white wolf on her left shoulder. The wolf looking straight into his eye with its mesmerizing purple eyes. Two majestically beautiful wings were on its back, and a beautiful crescent moon sat on the crown of its head proudly. It was so beautiful and captivating that he couldn't take his eyes off of it. She put on the shirt, covering her back and buttoning it up. When she turned around, he was staring at her. When there was a knock at the door, he took his gaze away from her. He moved closer to the door as he turned. He opened the door slightly, preventing the guards outside or the maid from peering inside. He closed the door after the maid handed him the breakfast. She sat on the bed, and he placed the breakfast in front of her, feeding her the contents of the plate silently. He sat down on the bed, bringing her closer to him, after feeding her and eating himself. Her head rested on top of his chest, and they talked about anything and everything while he played with her hair. She fell asleep after a moment of his comfortingly running his hand through her hair. He got out of bed, replaced himself with a pillow, and covered her with the warm duvet. When he opened the door, there was a light knock, and he saw his Beta with the files he had requested. He returned to his bed after retrieving the file. He sat next to her, going through the files. He worked on, making additional calls and sending out instructions throughout the day. She'd wake up, they'd talk and laugh, and she'd fall back asleep. She was exhausted from the heat the night before and the injury. She'd lost a lot of blood, and the pain in her lower abdomen was excruciating. She was grateful that he was by her side, supporting her even though he had no idea why she was so knackered.
• They had just returned to bed the next night when her temperature began to rise again. A whimper left her mouth and Aiden's eyes shot open staring at her. He placed his hand on her cheek and lightly shook her trying to wake her up. She was burning up her body shaking in full force as an agonizing scream left her mouth leaving her throat sore. The fire increased in heat and power every passing minute as she felt the flame engulf her, tearing her body apart.
• "M-make it s-stop!" She whispered between her sobs as tears ran down her face freely. She heard the door open and the shuffling of feet.
