Semua Bab Claimed By His Daddy (Stripper/Nerd): Bab 131 - Bab 140

Kael. The room felt too small for me so I kept pacing from one end to the other because Arielle was still lying there on the bed without moving. It made something sharp sit inside my chest. I didn’t even know what I was supposed to do. My wolf kept pushing at me like he was ready to tear everything apart and bring her back to consciousness by force. I kept telling him to calm down but I wasn’t calm myself.I stopped at her bedside again and looked at her face. Her lashes were still resting on her cheeks like she was only asleep and not unconscious. Her lips looked a bit pale amd I didn’t like that. I didn’t like how small she looked all of a sudden. Arielle was always pushing herself. She trained so hard that sometimes I feared she would break but she always told me she was fine. Maybe I should have insisted more and tell her she might stop training because I’ll fucking defend her and kill anybody who gets in the way. Maybe I should have stayed by her side instead of keeping my di

Kael. I did not sleep that night. I sat on the chair beside Arielle’s bed for hours and watched her breathing go steady again. Her lashes kept fluttering like she was dreaming about something and I wanted to shake her awake and ask her what she saw. I wanted to know if the runes were affecting her mind too but I didn’t do anything. I just sat there and let the worry eat me from the inside. Every time she shifted I leaned forward a little. My wolf kept pacing inside me and saying he could smell danger. I didn’t know if it was the same danger I saw glowing on her stomach or if it was something else entirely.I didn’t want to leave her but I knew I had no choice. If I waited until morning the wrong people would hear about the runes. Then the gossip would begin and soon it would reach the Prophetess and she would come here pretending to care. I didn’t want her near Arielle like this. Not when I didn’t even know what we were facing.I stood up slowly so I wouldn’t wake her. She was sleep

Arielle. I woke up feeling like my head was packed with stones. Heavy ones. The sunlight coming into the room made my eyes sting a little but I still turned my face toward it because I needed something warm and real. My body felt weak like I had run for hours but I knew I hadn’t done anything except lie here unconscious. I didn’t even know how long I had been out. When I tried to sit up slowly a sharp pain pricked through my chest and I took in a shaky breath.Kael was not in the room. That was the first thing I noticed. The second thing was the faint smell of his scent still lingering around the bed. Strong and clean like the woods after rain. It made something ache inside me. I didn’t know why everything between us suddenly felt like walking on glass. One wrong step and everything shatters.I pulled the blanket up to my chest and stayed still for a moment trying to understand why I felt so empty. Then the memories came little by little. The way I had collapsed during training the

Kael. I did not want to sleep that night but my body gave up on me. I lay beside Arielle and watched her chest rise and fall. She looked peaceful for once. I wanted to hold her but fear sat heavy in my chest like a stone. The pain I felt whenever I touched her was still fresh in my mind. It made me feel useless and angry. I closed my eyes because I wanted rest but instead of sleep I felt myself sinking again into that strange place I had been in before. A place that felt like a dream and also felt too real.Everything around me was dark at first then slowly I saw a faint glow that grew brighter until I could see a shape walking toward me. I knew who it was before he fully appeared and it ws my father. Or whatever was left of him. His face looked the same and his eyes looked the same but he carried something heavy in the air around him like he was bringing a warning with him. He stopped a few steps away from me and looked at me with the same expression he used to have when he wanted

Arielle. I woke up with my heart beating like it wanted to climb out of my chest. My whole body felt heavy almost bruised on the inside. The room was quiet and for a small second I thought maybe last night was a dream. Maybe I did not scream. Maybe Kael did not rush to me. Maybe the runes did not glow and move under my skin like living things. Maybe I did not cry into his chest.But when I sat up I felt a dull ache in my stomach. Not pain just something that reminded me that everything was real. I touched the spot with my fingers and I swear it felt warm. Just warm almost like the runes were sitting there quietly waiting for the next storm.The room still smelled like Kael. I hated that it comforted me. I hated how much I leaned into it as if it could explain anything. I pulled my knees to my chest and stayed there for some time. I did not know how long I just breathed and tried not to think about how he held me last night and how the pain vanished when he touched me. How I felt sa
