Heating Blanket Light Blinking の小説・ストーリー

The red indicator light is no longer flickering. It burns a solid, unblinking crimson. It isn't just watching me anymore. It's transmitting.

Beast told me. I didn’t need to be told twice as I got into the bed with her. She was freezing and I couldn’t help but cringe when our bodies came into contact, but I got over it when I remembered that I needed to keep her warm. She was shaking, but she wasn’t conscious. I reached for my system remote and turned on the heating in the room before throwing the blanket over us. “Salvatore,” she mumbled. Salvatore?

“Could you grab that blanket from the chair?” This time she did turn around, her eyes narrowed with suspicion. “It’s seventytwo degrees in this house, Darius. You’re not cold.” “I’m recovering from surgery,” I pointed out. “My circulation isn’t what it should be.” “Your circulation is fine,” Brynn said, but she was already grabbing the blanket, already moving toward me with exasperation written all over her face. She draped it over my legs with more force than strictly necessary. “There,” she said. “Anything else, your highness?”

She was just staring forward, shaking. I looked around, ah, there. I thought I had seen a space heater around here. I plugged it in on high to heat the bedroom. I helped her take her coat and shoes off. I wanted to comfort her but I didn’t know what she wanted. I didn’t want to do anything that might push her further away. I wrapped a blanket around her and checked the heater. It was barely enough to raise the temperature in this tiny room. I tried rubbing her gently, her hands in mine. They warmed a little but not enough.

Suddenly the light in the basement is switched on and the shadows dispersed, leaving behind the empty dirty space where there is nothing but dust and metal scraps. I begin to crawl forward on my knees. I didn’t care, I was grateful for the light shining on me. “Rowan… Is that you…?” My tone is hopeful for his response but it doesn’t come. Instead it’s Remi who takes long strides towards me, her voice filled with worry. “Omega,” She immediately puts an heavy blanket over my body, “Don’t worry, I have turn on the heater for now.” I didn’t care about that. I clung to her, my breathing heaving frantically.

She was Alpha Hunt’s daughter, I should remember that and stop letting the mate bond blur my judgment. I laid back on the bed the right way, trying to settle, and felt it: a soft, cold current running through my bones where the blanket no longer protected me. The mattress’s warmth bled away to the night air. My body shivered. Shit. It was colder than I’d expected. Hastily I slid open the bedside drawer, grabbed the thermostat remote and bumped the heat up to its usual setting. Much better. "Will she be fine with the blanket over her head now that the heat’s increased?" Jax murmured in my mind, like an impatient shadow.

Something that makes my heart soar. I pull it out and it's just as I thought. The sensor remote. I flick the switch in the opposite direction and a red light blinks thrice, signaling the sensor has indeed been turned off. I turn back to the unwanted baggage lying sprawled on the ground. "Now, what?"

The delivery room went completely black for five seconds. The backup generators groaned in the basement, and the dull green emergency lights turned on. When the lights came back, Anya was gone. The door to the hallway stood wide open as I looked down at the underside of the plastic bassinet. A small, faint red light pulsed inside the chip every three seconds as it cast a dull red glow over the white baby blanket inside. Xavier was still looking at his daughter’s face. He did not see the red light or look at the door but all his attention was on her.

"Here's some extra blankets for the two of you." The human woman smiled, setting the bundle of old quilts down on the bed. "One of you can come down and grab some dinner. The shower works, but you gotta give the hot water heater a few minutes to wake up." "Thank you, Ma'am. It'll be perfect for the night." Atlas nodded at the woman, giving her one of his frigid yet polite smiles.

"Is water proof and, as you can see, the light is bright so let it light the way for you." "She doesn't need your watch," I could feel his temper, his impulsive temper, rise. "Celeste cannot go down there, she'll die from hypothermia!" "Laker's coming with a battery operated heater, blankets, and should be here in about ten minutes," Ruby spat. "Oh thank God," So much sarcasm in three little words. "Laker is saving the day-" "Emrys," I interrupted him, my hand finding his and clasping it tightly. "We need to find out how everything is connected, I need to go look down there,"
