My Pet Mate

Chapter 28

*Adam's POV*

This sucks.

I seriously don't get why some wolves use wolfsbane as a party drug.

Everything is hazy, my thoughts, my vision, my memories. I barely remember what I've done an hour ago, though, knowing that Anna is in bed with me, I think we've just been laying around.

She's been doing good, I think. She hasn't been in visual pain much, and I don't think her fever is that high anymore. I wouldn't know for certain, I honestly don't know anything for certain right now. Except for the fact that I love my mate. That's the only certain thing in my life.

"Adam?"

I blinked and was shot from my daze when my mate spoke. "Yeah?"

I looked down at her, goddess she's beautiful. I've never seen someone as beautiful as her. Her blonde hair hasn't been brushed in two days, but the way it messily spread across the bed gave her an angelic look. Her green eyes look tired but they still shine like emeralds.

"I asked if you were feeling ok?" Anna apparently repeats.

"I'm good. Just... out of it." I respond.

Anna giggles. I love her laugh so much. "You've been out of it the entire day."

I give her a lazy smile, "I guess that's true, sorry."

"It's ok." She tells me wearing that beautiful smile on her face.

"I love you." I blurt out.

Her smile widens as her eyes sparkle with excitement, "And I love you."

I don't really know when I fell asleep but it was sometime after that. I faintly remember waking up again to take more wolfsbane but I think I fell right back asleep after that. When I woke up again it was the next morning, and I could feel Cade stir within me.

Anna was still sound asleep in my arms, and through the slight fuzz that was still in my mind I enjoyed the feeling of laying next to her immensely. I don't know why, but this has quickly become my favorite part of my day. Waking up next to her, seeing her still asleep, content in my arms. Knowing that she feels safe to be with me. It all makes me feel incredibly happy and content.

I let out a content sigh as I puller her closer to me. I stiffened, however, when I got a whiff of her sweet scent. Fucking hell.

Suddenly reminded of why I took wolfsbane in the first place, I regretfully pulled away from her. I wasn't going to be able to control myself like this.

Anna groaned in disapproval but snuggled into my pillow and remained asleep. I smiled down at my beautiful mate. She's incredible. Heat hasn't really fazed her. I know she must be in pain even when I'm close to her. But she hasn't complained at all and seems more worried about me than her own health.

I decided to make her breakfast while I wasn't as hazy. Isa already had a glass of orange juice ready in the fridge. She had done that every evening before she left.

While the eggs were cooking I checked my phone. I had to call in work today to tell them I was still 'ill'. I saw I had a text from Jasper asking how I was holding up and I gave him a quick reply telling him we were ok.

The people at work obviously weren't impressed. I've been working a few weeks and I'm already out for two days. Thankfully this would be Anna's 4th day of heat. So either this one of tomorrow will be her last. I suppose Anna must be feeling similar. She has missed a full week of work.

When I was done cooking I had taken one sip of the orange juice. As Cade was waking up more, Anna's scent was getting stronger and stronger. It was driving me insane. Thankfully, the little bit of wolfsbane helped dim down the scent to a manageable level while still staying level headed enough to take care of Anna.
