The Fever Code Novels & Stories

And right now, I feel like I’m dying. She crosses the kitchen, stopping in front of me and putting her hand on my cheek. “Jesus, you’re burning up.” She grabs the thermothereter. “One-oh-three point four. That’s really high, and you’ve had a fever for over twenty-four hours. Maybe you should go into the ER or something. You could be dehydrated.” “I don’t need to go to the ER.”

“Calm down, Princess.” He waited for her to stop resisting as he restrained her. Cody gently grabbed her, laying her gently on the bed. He grabbed a thermometer from his belt pocket, as he noticed she was awfully hot. His advanced temporal thermometer had scanned her head and body temperature. He sighed, “I didn’t think your fever was that bad, you’re nearly about to pass out from trying to fight with me.” She had panted as it seemed like she couldn’t catch her breath, she was as red as a cherry tomato. Cody peaked his head through the door leading out into the hall, “Call a nurse to fetch me some afebrile medication.”

Killian The fever hit at 2:13 a.m. exactly. I know because I was already awake, sitting in the dark, eyes locked on the digital thermometer clipped to Celeste’s finger the way sailors once watched the horizon for storms. The number had been creeping upward for an hour (101.4, 101.9, 102.3), each tenth of a degree a knife twist in my gut. When it flashed 102.8, I hit the call button so hard the plastic cracked.

It looks like I have a fever. He didn’t ask again while I fell asleep again without telling Lorenzo because my body felt so bad. I hope when I wake up this fever is gone. There was a pain that went through my heart as I thought Tyron didn’t even remember calling me. He didn’t even know I was sick now. I coughed. Not minding the bitterness.

I murmured, the words heavy with pain. “It was… it was like he was slipping away, and I couldn’t do anything. I don’t understand what happened. It was just a hug, and suddenly, he was calm.” Caleb’s gaze softened, a gentle smile tugging at his lips. “Isn’t it clear?” he said. “He misses his mother. It’s what suddenly triggered the fever.” I blinked, his words sinking in. “The fever was because… he missed me?”

The stone beneath her bare soles was cold, but her skin burned with fury. Kael watched her from the edge of a raised platform — tall, dark, half-shadowed by flickering torchlight. The firelight danced over the carved lines of his chest, highlighting thick scars, tribal sigils, and the ridge of power that lined his jaw. He was still half-clothed, leather pants unbuckled but not removed, cock thick and half-hard beneath. “Still holding that glare,” he drawled, voice like hot smoke dragged across a blade. “Even with those thighs trembling.”

His body burned with fever, his breath hotter than usual—scalding her left ear as it brushed past, like fire. “You have a fever of forty-one degrees. That’s not a joke. I don’t know what to do if I don’t call a doctor—what if I give you the wrong medicine and make it worse? Why don’t I get Assistant Kevin to come over, okay?” Her voice softened unconsciously at the last sentence, coaxing him as one might coax a child. The other thing was that, even in this state, Adriana still couldn’t bring herself to disobey him. She didn’t know—someone with Calvin’s status, would he even need to hide his fever from the outside world?

He replaced her had with his own, applying pressure to his wound. She just stared at him. "Wait, what is the fever?" She had a feeling that she wasn't going to like the answer but it's something that she needed to know. "The fever is what some hybrids suffer from. It's like liquid fire sweeps over you and you thirst for something that water can't quench." He actually looked uncomfortable. "I get that, but what is it?" She asked intrigued. "What does water not quench?" He locked eyes with her. "Blood, you thirst for blood!"

Lexie shifted restlessly in her seat. She repeatedly turned to Rafe and checked Rafe's worrying condition. Rafe sweated profusely on his forehead. He was closing his eyes, but his mouth was hissing softly in pain. The red hue on Rafe's lips slowly faded to a frighteningly pale white. Lexie tried to put the back of her hand on Rafe's forehead, his body was hot. Rafe catches a fever because his wounds may start to get infected.

Getting no response, he called her again, but Serena remained unresponsive. He noticed her face was burning. "Serena?!" Jordan became anxious, stepping on the gas without regard for traffic lights, heading straight to his house. The doctor was already waiting. Seeing him carrying Serena down, the doctor immediately examined her. "A fever of 40 degrees. Let me give her an infusion." The doctor worked quickly, administering medication and IV fluids, his face filled with worry. Jordan sat on the side without moving. A high fever—was it because of Matthew and Mira?
