Saved

•• Chapter 39 ••

These days had been pretty busy. We all had to train harder and the atmosphere was tense. It was clear in everyone's mind that a war was coming. People were forging armors for the warrior and the dragons. They were also stocking food and water as other important supply.

However, during lunch or supper, people let everything aside and try to forget about it. Even though the war wasn't going to start tomorrow, we better be ready than surprised and killed.

Since everything was my fault.

I was training myself to death, so I could protect my people, my friends, my family, and mate.

"Let's take a break," said my mate as he blocked my aerial kick.

"I can still go on," I panted as I landed next to him already ready to attack another time.

"It's not good to overstrain your body. You'll only injure yourself," he scolded as he gently, but with a powerful grip around my neck. I sighed but nodded. "Let's take a shower and take something to eat."

We went back inside our house and headed to our bedroom, so we could both take a shower. Not liking the feeling of being all sticky, I rapidly stripped and jumped in the shower. As the water sprayed on me, I lifted my head and let water soak my entire body. After a few minutes, I started to start washing my hair and body before I felt something weird around my abdomen and lower back. At the same time, Ryan came into the shower and stopped midway before looking at me. He covered his nose before standing back.

I looked at him confused, "what's wrong?" I asked as I took a step toward him and he took one back.

"Stay where you are," he took a few steps back before taking a breath. Not a deep one, but enough to not suffocate.

"Why?" I asked as I felt warmth going through all my lower body making me feel kind high and weak. I felt so weird that I nearly fell face first on the ground, but hopefully, Ryan caught me on time.

He washed off the last of the soap and shampoo before gently drying me off. The whole time, he didn't seem to be breathing. It was only after laying me on the bed and tucked under the bed sheets that he answered me, "Stay in bed, don't get out if the house without me. I'll be back in a few," with that unsatisfying answer, he ran out of our bedroom.

What was wrong with him? When I tried to sit up, I felt the same weird feeling again. Did I train too hard? Maybe I ate something wrong? I groaned and let myself fall on my bed and I immediately regretted it. I started to feel sick and my head started to pound. Not again... I didn't like pain, and after the episode with my wings, I thought I would be free of pain until the war.

Soon after, Ryan finally came back with a few bottles of water, a big bowl, and a towel. Then he ran away again before coming back with another bottle but it was filled with... A weird liquid...

"Drink this," he gently ordered and opened the bottle. When I smelt the odor I immediately closed my mouth and turned my head away. No way that I was drinking that smelling shit. "Don't be difficult, you'll need this or..." he hesitated and I only raised and eyebrow to tell him to continue. "To put it simply, you're in heat. The only way to sooth those sickness away is to mate. But if you don't drink this, you'll definitely be pregnant. Drink," he punched it on my lips waiting for me to open my mouth.

I closed my eyes shut and quickly drank the foul liquid. I finished it in a few gulps, oh god it was disgusting, "Water," I asked trying to grab a bottle, but it was too far. Ryan helped me and opened it. He put the opened and put it on my lips and I became a baby. I enthusiastically drank the water from the bottle hoping it would wash the taste away. And I was happy that it did. "Now we... Mate?" I asked blushing and feeling nervous.

"Not yet, we have to wait at least five hours to be sure," he chuckled. "I need to warn you that your smell would attract not only me but also unmated males. So please stay inside our house until your heat is done," he explained.

"Tomorrow then?" I mostly talked to myself. If it was only one day, it wouldn't be too bad.

"No, we, you will at least need a week. When we will start mating, our instinct takes over and to be sure that our lineage would be secure, we will have to do it for days. Until you are ripe with my seeds," he growled and I felt myself growing hard.

Without really controlled it, I used my wings to pull my mate closer until I was able to kiss him. It wasn't a gentle kiss, it was a kiss full of lust. My body was burning and yearning for his touch. I pulled him closer with my arms until my body was entirely touching his. I could feel his erection poking at my abdomen and I bet he could feel mine too.

I needed him now.

My hands moved on their own and went under his shirt. I couldn't wait to taste him. He... We had too many clothes on and I wanted them off! But before I could do it, his hand took mine in his huge palm. I looked up at him confused, but he only smirked, "Five hours remember?" I groaned frustrated and I heard him chuckle. "Patience little one. It will only be better afterward," he nuzzled in my neck and inhaled. "God, you smell so good. I can't help, but imagine you carrying our babies... Burt for now," he evilly smiled, "I can't get you all heated and horny for me."
