Royal Puppy Love

CHAPTER 15

BATHROOM – JIMIN POV

There was a tiny silvery, blue ring around my eyes. It was lovely and looked alive, as it flowed and shimmered. Every so often a spec of silver flashed in my iris. What was that? I stared for a minute then went to check on the water. I ran my fingers through the water and had a deep desire to fully immerge in it. A cool and intoxicating sensation as it flowed over my fingers...

I stared at the reflective lights coming from the moving surface and was about to slide into the depths when there was a quiet knock. I glanced at the door.

Linda: 'Is the bath ready?'

She had her arm around Jungkook's waist and his arm was slung over her shoulder as she bore his weight.

I propelled myself to my feet, feeling my canines extending in my mouth and a growl coming from within. Linda stepped back, sensing my anger. She glanced between me and Jungkook.

Linda: 'I am just helping, Luna!'

I caught myself and looked at my mate who was in pain. My heart dropped and I hurried over to be under him on the other side. There was a deep satisfaction at being connected with him again. My hands slid up his back as I grabbed a hold of him and took most of his weight off of her. Linda happily obliged. We placed him into the cool water and I quickly climbed into the bath with him, clothing and all, as the doctor came in. Doc Evi enter the room, taking in the scene, and paused.

Evi: 'Aren't you cold, Prince Jimin?'

I shook my head. I lifted an arm and was actually shocked to see that I was wet. It didn't feel that way under the water. I cuddled against Jungkook; his body so hot it felt like it was warming the water around us.

The doctor stuck the thermometer into Jungkook's mouth again and I had to fight the urge to claw the doctor's hand for being so close to what was mine. These boughs of jealously were so foreign to me and were very scary, especially to someone like me who rarely got angry.

Evi: 'Just be sure to get out if you feel chilled. I don't want you sick as well. I know you want to be with him right now...that is completely natural, but please take care of yourself as well, okay?'

I nodded.

Evi: 'You have to be strong for him.'

In his half-awake state, Jungkook snuggled into me. I was thrilled by being that close and scooped water over his head, trying to keep him cool, and touched his face gently. He was perfect.

I felt Skye's joy at being this close to our mate and the happiness almost made me want to cry. I fought back the sting of tears.

The doctor read the thermometer and nodded. 'It is dropping slightly. I will leave this with you and once it drops a couple more degrees can you please put him back to bed and come get me?'

I nodded, looking at where Doc Evi had placed the thermometer. I would make sure everything was fine with him. I would do anything for Jungkook. I paused... these feelings of pure devotion were foreign but completely satisfying. I shoved my face into his, rubbing my cheek along his jaw. I wanted to imprint every smell and every sensation to memory.

Linda: 'This will stay within this circle. No one is to know the alpha is sick. He can never be sick nor show signs of weakness. It would destroy the pack.'

I nod again. He can never be sick? Does this mean it is the first time he has ever been sick?

'What made him this way?'

Evi: 'I believe your blood from the marking. I have a sample from him and will go test it. Come get me as soon as his temperature has reached a manageable level.'
