Warmth

Eric's POV

I couldn't stand her 

The more I stay with her, the more I have the urge to kiss her one more time, and it annoys me.

I decided to go to the woods and calm myself, maybe all this is just because I mated with her.

I left the room and went downstairs, I was about to leave the house, but I couldn't, I just couldn't leave her.

Most wolf after mating with their mate, they usually stay in bed all night, but I couldn't.

I open the door and left the house, but then I remembered that it wasn't right to leave her all alone after all we did.

I groaned in frustration and went back to the house, I climbed the stairs and went to my room.

I opened the door and met eyes with Victoria, but then something else caught my attention.

She was about pulling out my drawer, and in that drawer I have my masks, my chains, rope and blindfolds, I basically have all my BDSM stuff there, and she was about opening it

I groaned in anger and rushed to the drawer and pull her away from the drawer

“How dare you go through my things ". I spoke in anger while staring at her with hate.

She looked at me, shocked and confused with my reaction.

I stared at her and realized she hasn't seen the stuff.

I took in a soft breath in relief and roughly ran my fingers through my hair.

"I'm sorry if I invaded your privacy I just wanted to get some warmer, but I couldn't see any in your closet, so I thought you might have kept them here ".she muttered those words in a low soft voice that instantly killed all the anger in me and I hated myself for reacting this way.

She moved away from me and sat on the bed with her arms folded on her body, I stared at her and noticed she was a bit cold.

I moved away from the drawer and sat on the couch with my gaze on her, 

"I don't have a body warmer ". I spoke firmly

She stared at me shocked and confused before speaking up, 

"Who wouldn't have a body warmer in this part of the country?" She spoke in disbelief, it was obvious she thought I was lying.

"I don't need those things because my temperature is different from you guys". I spoke firmly

"So I see no need for it ". I spoke firmly.

She stared at me for a while before looking away.

Seeing her again, I didn't have the urge to go out anymore.

"You should get some sleep "I muttered out, 

She hesitated for a while before she climbed on the bed and pull the blanket on her.

She tried closing her eyes, but she couldn't, she stares at me like she was trying to read through me.

I stood up from the couch and stood by the window, staring at the full moon.

I have gotten what I wanted, I have mated with her, and yet, I wasn't at peace but rather it felt like something was missing and wrong.

I stared back at her and realized she was shivering despite the blanket on her.

I moved away from the window and sat on the couch while staring at her, I checked the time and saw that it few minutes pass 4am.

I relaxed on the couch and tried getting some sleep, but I couldn't.

My attention was drowned to her and I couldn't resist it.

I watch her shiver and pull the blanket more on her, but it wasn't helping.

I knew what was wrong with her, she needed me, but I just couldn't let her sleep in my arms, something  I wouldn't do for Sophie.

I sat there and tried to remove my gaze from her, but I just couldn't, she kept on dragging me to her and I couldn't resist it.

I groaned in anger and stood up from the couch, I walk over to the bed and lay beside her.

I roughly ran my fingers through my hair and stared at her sleeping peacefully.

I took in a deep breath before getting in the blanket.

I got inside the blanket with her and gently place my hand on her shoulder, the moment my hand touched her she makes a sound of relief in her sleep.

I moved closer to her and pulled her into my arms.

She released a sound of relief and comfortably rest her head on my shoulder.

I stared her sleeping peacefully on me and for strange reason I felt so comfortable, like I'm used to her in my arms.

I groan in anger and look away.

This wasn't part of the plan, this is ridiculous, and I have to stop it.

I heard her murmuring things in her sleep that I couldn't understand, she kept on talking in her sleep, and it felt like she was in fear.

She kept in shivering despite been in my arms and even forcefully move away from my grip.

I stood up from the bed and touched her head, she was burning with fever and I became scared.

"Wake up ". I tap her softly, but got no response from her, 

"Please get my aunt out ".she murmured those words in her sleep and I could notice tears drop on her cheek.

Whatever dream she was having was really hurting her and I need to wake her up from it.

"Victoria ". I roughly tap her in the arms and this time she slowly open her eyes.

Firstly, she stares around with tears soaked eyes before locking eyes with me.

She stared at me for sometime like she was trying to process the environment she was.

She closed her eyes for a while before opening them, she stood up from the bed and took in a deep breath before going for her bag.

She put two tablets in her hand and swallowed it.

"Are you okay?" I asked not knowing when that left my mouth

"None of your business ".she muttered out those words in a rough cold voice, watching her it feels like she was a different person.

"Don't you dare talk to me in that manner". I spoke in anger, 

She turns around and stared at me with anger before coming closer to me with no atom of fear in her eyes.

"And if I do, what will you do ".
