Ruthless Mate - Chapter 56: Chapter 56

The pack came into sight as he fastened his pace even more. He was cautious of their surroundings making sure that no rogue had followed them to the pack because of her scent.
He swoosh passed the warriors on patrol and they didn't stop him knowing it was their Alpha. He reached their mansion and stopped at the main door.
He noticed her body trembling as she got down on her wobbly legs. She stumbled but he steadied her with his head and helped her step close to the door. Once she clutched the doorknob he motioned for her to go inside.
With hazy eyes, she stepped inside and then wobbled up the stairs into her room.
Draken got inside as he shifted. Locking the door he made his way into his room and wore his sweats and shirt. He knew if he shifted in front of her she would get uncomfortable and knowing she was already in heat. This wasn't the wisest decision to make.
Draken stared down at his wound. It has gotten worse.
Instead of treating it, he walked to her room. Draken breathed in deeply and her scent was all he could inhale even though he was standing outside her room.
He needed to calm down, so he walked down the stairs and opened the fridge. Grabbing a bottle of cold water he chugged it down and breathed. Grabbing another bottle of water he made his way to her room as he mind-linked his beta.
'Eren,'
'Alpha,'
`We were attacked on the highway. Carter and Solomon are in Xyz city. Solomon is injured. Send someone to bring them safely to the pack and also get rid of the bodies.'
'Yes, Alpha.'
'Are you hurt? And Luna?'
'We are fine,'
Draken looked down at the blood that had stained his shirt. If it was a normal wound he would've healed immensely but it wasn't. The bullet that graced his stomach was of silver and it seemed like it was poisonous too because he felt weak.
He ended the mind link and stood there in front of her door for a few seconds to steel his control as he had to face her.
Nodding once as if he was ready to face her. He knocked at her door twice before he twisted the doorknob and stepped inside.
Nothing prepared him for the sight in front of him.
Aurora lay on the bed only in her black bra and panties. Her clothes were discarded on the floor.
Her hair was opened and her creamy skin was on display. It was glistening because of sweat as her cherry lips parted and she was breathing heavily.
He was frozen on the spot as she noticed him. Her hazy eyes widened as she shakily got off the bed and walked to the restroom.
He forced himself to breathe which he was holding. She stepped out holding a first aid kit and padded toward him. She fisted his shirt in her small hand and made him sit on the couch.
He felt she was burning up when she tried to move his shirt up. He removed his shirt and gulped when she kneeled on the floor between his wide opened legs.
"Y...you're h...hurt..." She whispered and opened the first aid box with her shaky hands and his heart lurched to his mouth. She was in pain because of the heat yet she was concerned about his wound.
She cleaned his wound with her trembling hands and applied ointment as he passed her the bottle of water.
She nodded her head as he opened it and placed the tip of the bottle on her lower lip. She leaned closer to the bottle as she chugged the water down desperately.
The cold water dripped down from her chin to her neck and then to her chest. Cursing internally he forced his eyes on her face as she moved back. Wiping her chin with the back of her hand she grabbed a gauze and started to wrap it around his torso. She was fumbling and clumsy. "I'm fine," He said, trying to stop her.
"Y...you're hurt..." She slurred. Her hands trembled as he helped her in wrapping the gauze around his body and he secured it in place.
He noticed she was biting her lower lip hard enough to draw out blood as her eyes lingered on his naked chest and they glowed an exquisite shade of silver.
Leaning closer he grasped her chin lightly and freed her lower lip from her teeth.
A groan of pain escaped her lips as she clutched her stomach and curled up.
He instantly crouched down and picked her up in his arms. She felt relief at his touch and leaned her body closer to him. They were skin-to-skin. His wolf growled at him to claim her but he refrained. He will not. He stepped into the bathroom and placed her gently near the bathtub as he ran a bath for her.
When the bathtub was half full. He placed her inside and she shuddered.
"T...touch m...me please," She murmured hazily as he gulped and sat on the edge of the bathtub with his legs inside as he massaged her shoulders to ease her pain.
His veins were popping out with the intense control he was forcing on his body.
Another moan of pain left her lips as she curled into herself. His eyes glowed as his wolf pushed forward but he controlled his urge. Her potent intoxicating scent made everything a lot more difficult for him.
"I...it hurts," She whimpered as he clenched his jaw.
"I'm sorry, princess." He rasped.
"I'm thirsty." She whispered as he was ready to get her some water but she held his hand.
"D...Draken, p...please." She whispered, turning to face him with those teary, hazy eyes that were full of yearning.
"Make t...the pain g...go away," She breathed with teary eyes and he inhaled sharply.
"You're in heat, baby. Did you want it to happen like this?" He asked in a gentle voice while cupping her feverish red cheek as his thumb stroked her skin.
She got on her knees and leaned in closer between his legs as she cupped his cheek. Her silver gaze clashed with his golden hues. Her hot breath caressed his lips as ever so softly she placed her lips on his.
He could resist to a limit...
With a low growl, he crashed his lips on hers and kissed her passionately making her toes curl as she witnessed his need.
