Chapter 137
Avery’s pov
My fingers reach up to gently brush against the warmth of my skin, my heart thudding loudly as Xade stares down at my neck in awe and relief. Then his eyes flicked up to mine and he sent me a watery smile, his head lowering once more as he kissed me until my lungs burnt.
“You’re doing it baby,” He whispered against my lips, the taste of his tears mixing with mine. He cupped my jaw, running his thumb over my cheekbone fondly. ” Your body is accepting my essence.”
I close my eyes briefly, trying to adjust to all the emotions running through me all at once. “Are you sure?” I whispered, a bit unsure if to keep my hopes up and celebrate so soon.
He kissed my lips, once, twice and then the third time he playfully nipped my lower lip. “A hundred percent. The bite is healing.”
My eyes peeled open, my heart thudding. ” Does that mean you won’t drink the wolfsbane?” my voice is filled with hope and happiness, a mixture that made my body buzz with anticipation for his response.
He pulled away a little, his eyes softening as he stare at me, his thumb still gently running along my cheek tenderly. “Since your body shows signs that it’s accepting my essence, the wolfsbane won’t be necessary.”
Relief washed over me, thanking my body for finally fighting for our future. I grinned, my eyes twinkling even though the flaring pain was still present in my body. It might take a while for my body to fully accept the bond but at least it shows signs it will.
I told you I keep my promises,” I breathed happily, thanking my body for not giving up and showing him I was stronger than I looked.
He grinned from ear to ear, his teary eyes staring deep into my soul.” You did.”
How weird,” A voice broke our little moment. Xade turns around and I peek around his arm to see that man still leaning against the doorframe, his eyes set on me and Xade curiously.
“Just a few seconds ago she was dying, that mark showed no signs of healing at all,” he pushes off the doorframe and sauntered over to us. Xade stiffens.” But now all of a sudden, it’s healing?”
“Let me see it,” he demanded, his tone a mix of disbelief and curiosity when he stopped beside Xadeon who was also as stiff as Xade.
I glanced at Xade whose jaw was set firm and tense. He glared at the man who I now recall was named Henry. Xadeon shifts closer to Xade and places his hand on his shoulder, squeezing lightly. “Let him,”
Xade hesitated, his form shaking with tension. Then he nods, slowly and reluctantly shifting aside so Henry can come more forward to examine me. I freeze, a bit ashamed to be in a room practically naked under these sheets with many eyes on me all at once.
Henry leaned closer, his eyes narrowing with intensity as he examined the mark. Then those intrigued globes widen in shocking surprise and a gasp retch out of his mouth.NôvelDrama.Org content rights.
“This is incredible,” he breathed, his fingers reaching forward and hovering over the mark as if wanting to touch it but Xade’s loud warning growl made him stop.
Henry quickly retracted his hand, taking Xade’s warning and look at me, then back at the mark in awe and disbelief.” This has never happened before.”
He straightened and looked at Xade and his parents. “Do you three not see that she isn’t the one who is saving her life, but the baby in her womb is?” he turn to stare back at me in shock.” The child in your womb is saving you.”
