Chapter 15

Tayen

We don’t talk long after that. Like the shitty friend I am, I can’t stand the sound of her quiet pain. A pain she’s been dealing with by herself her whole life. So I eventually hang up, not knowing what else to say. Before I do, though, she thanks me—fucking thanks me—for letting her talk and trying to help.

As if I did anything more than remind us both that I can’t do anything to help her.

Paperwork seems impossible after that. So I take my sorry, mopy butt over to my mate and stare at him like the creep I am while I contemplate Devin’s ‘order’.

I hate that I don’t know what to do. But, at least, I know what will make me feel better.

Pulling the corner of the thick top blanket up, I shimmy myself underneath until I’m tucked into Ahiga’s side. As he has every time I’ve done so over the last two days, he takes a deep breath and shifts towards me, turning his head to bury his nose in my hair while his short beard and mustache tickles my forehead. He doesn't move much more than that. Sometimes I get some twitchy fingers and a jerky nudge in the arm, but that’s it. He’s still too cold for our hotter than normal Lycan systems, and his breath still huffs irregularly.

There’s nothing else any of the medics here can do, though. Not even that stupid bitch, Bridget. They all say the same thing.

Pray and let him rest.

Well, I’m tired of fucking praying. I’m tired of waiting for him to open his eyes. Two days sounds like such a short time, but it’s felt like eternity. Even with the endless amount of work to keep me busy. And it’s getting harder and harder to stay away from him. After Braysen helped me move him enough to replace the sheets and lift him to the tub so I could clean him more thoroughly than a rag could do, not attacking him has been nearly impossible.

My palm rests on his naked chest, over the too faint rhythm of his heart as I bite my lip.

I wouldn’t blame him if he hated me afterwards. Devin’s order gives me the perfect excuse to pass the blame to him, and from the little I know about my mate, my brother’s approval is everything to him, so I doubt he’d be mad for long. Still, the decision haunts me, because I want to see the look on his face when he becomes mine. Even though a female’s claim isn’t as potent as a male’s, I’ve heard that a MeiltReina’s claim becomes an extremely sensitive spot. That just one nibble on it can send the mate into an orgasm. And, oh, have I been absolutely dying to find out if it’s true.

I can’t wait any longer. He’s not getting better, and he’s not waking up.

So I slowly slide a leg over his naked hips and sit up until I’m straddling him, the blanket falling to his hips.
