Chapter 15: Chapter fifteen-Taking care of the sick wolf

Adira Skylar's Pov:

After Mathew left, I collected myself and prepared some food. And again went back cleaning the house. I walked inside my room to clean.

While cleaning, I realized someone was looking at me. I looked at that someone and instantly regretted walking inside the room. Lancelot was again turned into a big red wolf who was currently looking at me with big doe eyes. I gulped.

He wolfed at me softly. He was laying down on the bed. Maybe his fever was again coming back. I need to turn that fever down. But how? I'm scared of animals. And for God's sake, he is a wolf. Wiping my hands off, I went out of the room closing the door. I need to calm down and keep my fear to myself and treat Lancelot right now.

After some time, I came back inside the room and looked at him. He means the wolf. Okay, I don't know how to take care of an animal. I have never even taken care of a cat or dog. But let's start with how I take care of humans. I need to sponge his body with a wet towel. Okay, let's do that and turn him into a human by bringing his fever down.

I went inside the bathroom and filled a whole bucket with water and brought it back into the room. I placed it beside the bed bravely. I looked at the red wolf laying there on my bed again. He was groaning in pain. He was awake. I need to be careful. I gulped.

I touched his head softly and carefully. My heartbeat was so loud and fast that I thought he will hear it and eat me. But touching his soft and warm fur, I felt less scared. In a way, I felt comfortable touching him. I was no longer gulping due to fear. Though he barked at me sometimes for touching his scary wounds time he was again back to his human form. His fever was down. I fed him slowly and cleaned his body with the towel again to make him comfortable. He was too weak so I keep giving him food from time to time. Thankfully, he didn't turn into a wolf again. When I thought he was asleep, I went to take a shower. I was way too tired.

After what felt like peaceful hours, I came out of my shower. Stepping inside my room, I saw Lancelot sitting on the bed. He looked alright. Are wolves supposed to be okay from sick early? He looked at me and gulped. Why?

Lancelot Carter's Pov:

Adira was wearing an extremely oversized shirt that looked like she doesn't have anything under that.

"Um..are you wearing anything under that?" I asked nervously. Why was I feeling nervous?

Adira slowly pulled up her shirt only to reveal there were shorts under that shirt. "Of course I am, why wouldn't I ?" She asked confused.

"N-no reason," I said laying down in disappointment.

Adira Skylar's Pov:

What's wrong with him. Anyways, I should check his temperature. I went near him and checked his temperature touching his forehead. No fever. That's a relief. "Are you feeling okay?" I asked him softly. He nodded.

"Your furs are soft. I thought of cutting them and hang around my body. By the way, you barked at me again jerk. Also, I worked my ass off for you today. You should do something to make it up to me." I joked still holding on to his face.

He looked anywhere but me. What's wrong with this weirdo? "Hey, you okay? " I asked him again. "Why is it so hot in here?" He asked me fanning himself. His face was red. I held his face tightly this time to make him look at me. "Why aren't you looking at me? Did I do something wrong? " I asked making eye contact with him. He gulped."You are too near. " he mumbled. "What?" I asked again not hearing him. "You are too near for my heart's sake, Adira." He said loudly this time. I realized our proximity. I smiled. "You are blushing, Lancelot. Aren't you always the one happy to maintain proximity with me? You even bite my ear." I said smirking.

"Fuck this. I can't control myself ." He said with a deep voice. My smirk dropped when he kissed me.
