Tangled Hearts - The Alpha's Baby Mama-Chapter 32: Destined with each other...

"What do you mean?" I stared at Lucius with confusion "What ill could they possibly bear against three-year-olds and me?"

"I have no idea, Selene," he sighed "But I’m inquiring. And I’ll keep you and the girls ..." he winced and clutched at his chest, stumbling to the sofa in the room.

I rushed to him immediately, dragging my drip stand with me "Are you alright?" I asked placing my hand on his forehead.

He was burning up and his eyes were slowly turning green, a sign of exhaustion and that he was sick. freeweɓnovel.cѳm

"You’re not fine, Xavier," I rose to my feet immediately, limping to the door "I’ll go get the doctors or something you need to be admitted,".

"No," he reached out to stop me immediately "No medical whatever can fix this. I just need my shot of mugwort and I’ll feel better," he gasped, still clutching at his chest,".

I froze and turned back to face him "You take mugwort shots too?" I asked.

"Yeah," he nodded smiling at me "After you left... I started experiencing episodes of weakness and all but it’s fine. Lucius went to the pack, he’ll get me some when he returns,".

My heart melted with pity as I stared at him. What would work right now and faster than a mugwort shot was me being intimate with him. All we had to do was display some form of intimacy and he’d heal.

Back when we were still a couple, whenever he came back from fights where he had been wounded or if he was exhausted, he would mate with me or lie beside me, cuddling me and would feel instant relief.

But now, I was affianced to his uncle and we still had a lot of unresolved traumas between us, so there was no way this would work.

"Wait!" I said suddenly "There should be a mugwort shot in my clothes. I always carry one with me.,". I looked down at the hospital gown I was wearing wondering where my clothes could be. "Do you know where my clothes are?" I asked.

"Check the wardrobe," he said.

Limping, I went to the wardrobe at the corner of the room and opened it. Sure enough, my clothes were hanging there. Searching through the pockets, I found two shots of mugwort. Limping back to where Luke was, I handed him the vial.

"Thank you," he murmured and broke the seal, drinking the liquid in one gulp.

I sat on the sofa but maintained my distance waiting for the mugwort to kick in. After waiting for thirty minutes, his body temperature had not improved and he was slowly turning pale. His strength had been zapped away from him.

"Xavier," I called out in despair "Is there something else I can do or who I can call? Or should I just give you another dose of mugwort?"

"I... I don’t know," he wheezed "Usually, the mugwort works instantly but I don’t understand,".

I chewed on my lips, torn between saving the father of my children or betraying my fiancée. If it was three days ago, I would have had no problem with helping him instantly but with the proposal, everything has changed.

There was no telling what Noah would do if he came in and saw us in an intimate position. He was a Lycan, and he could easily crush Xavier. My eyes darted to the girls sleeping peacefully and wondered what they would do if they knew I could help their father but had watched him die without doing anything.

Maeve would never forgive me.

Exhaling, I drew closer to an almost white Xavier, tugging him closer to me. His eyes registered surprised but because he was too weak to say a word, he didn’t do anything. I counted 1,2,3 in my head before I lowered my mouth and captured his.

Desire rushed to every part of my body as warmth pooled in my lower abdomen as my lips met his. I probed into his mouth with my tongue as if I were searching for treasure. I felt him move slightly and I sighed in relief, it was working.

Five minutes later, his hands circled my neck pulling me to him as he kissed me back with every vigour in him. I moaned in ecstasy as his tongue swirled around mine, stopping now and again to suckle on my lower lips.

One of his hands left my neck and trailed down to cup my breast, caressing my nips through the sheer hospital gown. I arched my body towards him, as the world around us disappeared. goddess, I wanted this man so much. I wanted him to take me here and now.

His hands slipped into the gown, touching my mound. I buckled with pleasure as my hands reached for the buttons on his shirt and undid them feverishly. When I was done, I slowly took them off his shoulders running my hand through the hardness of his body.

We were so immersed in our world that we didn’t notice the door open until someone pried us apart. For a while, the world seemed hazy and I forgot where I was and who I am until my vision cleared and Noah’s angry face loomed in front of me.

"What do you think you’re doing?" he asked, his face red with rage.

"Noah," I bolt to my feet immediately. "It’s not what you think dear. I was only helping him out,".

"Helping him out?" a chuckled dryly "I walked in on you kissing him... how is that help,".

"He was losing strength and turning pale but the mugwort shot wasn’t helping and I couldn’t just sit back and do nothing. I had to help me feed on him. If you check," my gaze turned to Xavier who was leaning on the wall, without a bit of remorse. His color has returned at least "You’ll notice he’s healed now,".

"Your majesty," he pushed away from the wall and came towards us "She’s telling the truth. She’s my mate and the only woman that can help me in situations like this,".

"I didn’t ask you to speak," Noah lashed out turning to Xavier, his eyes red with rage "You speak only when you’re spoken to,".

"Whether or not you want to hear this.... I and Selene were destined with each other," Xavier said and sauntered out of the room.
