I felt muscular hands pull closer, and I mumbled out so inaudible words softly... I turned my head to the side and felt a soft breath on : husky, gentle, and warm...
"Hmm," I mumbled, trying to free my hands, but I felt pressure tighten around them and pull closer. Just like that, my eyes snapped open. I stared at the male gazing down at but his eyes shut close and I bit my bottom lip.
"Thyrian?" I gasped and pressed my hands to my face, gently scrubbing my eyes. Was I seeing things? How did he crawl onto my bed?
I gently reached out and touched his nose, it was cold and I retracted my hand, that mont his eyes opened. I wanted to say a word, but my head throbbed, and I placed my hand on my head, gently massaging.
"Are you okay?" Thyrian asked, sitting at the edge of the bed and gently placing his large hands on my forehead. I shivered at his touch. This wasn’t the first ti, yet I still felt my heart skip a beat. I gently stared at his face, he was worried, and his brows were furrowed in confusion.
"What are you saying?" he asked, and my cheeks flushed red. What did he an...? But his warm palm made blink back to reality. "When did you catch a fever!" he said, and I arched a brow in confusion.
Fever? Wait, did that an my temperature was boiling? My hands flew to my face, covering how flushed and embarrassed I was, but Thyrian didn’t seem to notice that.
"Does it hurt anywhere?" he asked, and I nodded. "My head," I managed to voice out dryly, and he placed his hands on my head, gently caressing.
"I’ll make you so herbal tea," he said and got off the bed. I froze the mont he stood up... He was standing naked and were those legs...?
My hands shot to my face, covering them, but amidst his movent, I peeked through my fingers, taking a quick glance at him. He had changed, the way his long legs shimred, the scales on his forearms, shoulders, and legs made my cheeks flush bright red.
Thyrian was still moving when I finally made a sound. "When did you get legs?" I asked, and he turned. That was unexpected, but my eyes subconsciously moved down again, and I hid once more, pressing my hands to my mouth, trying to muffle the strange sensation.
Thyrian gazed at and then looked down. "Let’s not think about that for now, Master. You are sick!" he said and turned away. I felt more embarrassed. Thinking about sothing like this while running a high fever, I couldn’t help but wonder what he thought of .
"I’ll borrow so clothes from Azrael," he said and walked off. I couldn’t help but stare at him and lick my lips...
That’s when a knock ca from the door, and my lips parted. "Co in," I said, and Liora walked in. She was dressed in a floral gown and brown boots. Her hair was tied in a ponytail, her black hair shimring as she made hurried steps towards .
She sat on the bed and held my hands. "Are you okay? I’m really sorry I gave you wine. I thought you could handle your liquor," she said, and I raised a brow.
"What wine?" I asked, and her eyes widened in shock and confusion.
"You don’t rember?" she asked, and I blinked my eyes. I gazed at the door, trying to rember what happened, but it only made my head hurt more. I placed my hands on my head and hissed in pain.
"Don’t think about it," she said and stood up. "I’ll make you so soup," she added and walked off before I could even say a word.
"Wasn’t this body good at holding liquor? Even if I did take a sip, I shouldn’t go crazy," I thought, when Thyrian walked back in with Azrael, who just stared down at blankly.
Thyrian moved closer and gently touched my forehead.
"I’ll be right back," he said, reaching for the door, but my voice stopped him and Azrael.
"Where are you guys headed?"
"To get the herbal leaves," he said, and my lips parted to protest and say I was fine, but Azrael cut in.
"Thyrian can also use this to practice how to walk. Don’t be selfish," he said coldly, and I sighed.
"You didn’t have to say it in such a way," I mumbled, and as if not waiting for my reply, Azrael walked out. Thyrian stared at and smiled. It made smile back, and I looked away.
They left, closing the door shut, and I gently stretched my head, resting it on the pillow, about to fall asleep when the door was pushed open.
"Liora, I don’t really need the sou—" I froze as I stared at who was standing there.
"Bibi!" I called out in shock, and she rolled her eyes, stretching her hand towards .
"You forgot this with ," she said and dropped the ribbon to the ground. I just stared at it and then back at Bibi.
Really? There was no way she was here just to return a ribbon. Sothing was really up.
"What do you want?" I asked, and she bead. "Oh, you know why I’m here?" she asked, and I nodded. She licked her lips and moved closer.
"Do you rember last night?" she asked, and I froze. I really didn’t want to try.
"Co back later, my head hurts," I said flatly, but her eyes darkened, and she stepped closer. She forcefully grabbed my cheeks.
"Your eyes... I want them. They are so pretty," she said, and I blinked. Why did that sound familiar? Just like that, so scenes flashed in my head, and I reached for my head.
"Ahh," I hissed in pain. Why did it feel like my head was bursting? My lips parted, but then she let go of my cheeks.
"Are you okay?" she asked, but I stayed still. It hurt so much.
"Raven," she called worriedly, but that second, a hand reached for her arm and dragged her backwards.
"What are you doing?" Ryker’s cold voice ca through. He glared at her, and she stepped back. Then he walked towards and gently held my head.
"Raven, are you alright?" he asked, and I nodded, but Bibi stared worriedly. Her lips parted to say a word, but then Ryker turned to give her a death glare, and she went cold.
"Whatever," she snapped and looked away, ready to leave, but Ryker’s next words stopped her.
"What did you do again? Are you trying to hurt her again, aren’t you tired? You already did this once," he said, and Bibi’s eyes turned cold. She gazed at and back at my beastn.
"Before you bla others, actually look into things," she said darkly and reached for the doorknob, but Ryker gritted his teeth angrily.
"What did you do to her?" he asked again, and Bibi snapped. She slamd her hand into the door, it startled . She glared at Ryker and then at , a bitter laugh escaping her lips.
"She didn’t do anything. She just held my cheeks and asked if I was okay," I said, and Bibi froze. Her lips parted in the air. She pressed them together and opened them to say a word again, but nothing escaped. She held her head and sighed.
"Raven, you’re trying to cover up for her," Ryker said, but I forced a smile at him.
"I don’t cover up for bad people, Ryker. I tear them apart," I said coldly. Seeing my eyes, he understood I was being sincere and turned to Bibi.
"Thank you for not hurting her."
Bibi’s lashes trembled in shock. She didn’t expect him to accept it and actually thank her. She couldn’t even drag it out and just stared at him, then at in disbelief.
I couldn’t look her in the eyes as I actually did rember what happened last night. I placed my hands on my head.
"Gawd, Raven, what did you f*cking do?" I muttered under my breath, and she seed to notice it. Her eyes softened, but then a smirk appeared on her lips.
"After kissing multiple tis last night, you better take responsibility," she said shalessly, and my eyes widened.
Ryker gazed at both of us, and his lips parted. "What kiss?" he asked.
How do I explain this to him? My ears reddened, and his gaze darkened a bit.
"What happened?" I heard Veyra’s voice from behind, and I felt my body shrink. I really wanted to disappear... but first strangle Bibi.
"Kiss?" It was just a light peck on the cheeks. She was trying to kill deliberately.
My lips parted to say a word, but she beat to it. "Raven actually kissed on the lips," she said, dragging out the word lips, and I choked.
"When did I—" My breath was cut short as Ryker’s lips landed on mine, hungry, and he bit down on my lips. I squird in pain, but her eyes shimred in bright victory, and she didn’t stop there.
"How would your beastn ever react now? He knows you kiss !"
