Chapter 6 Thirsty

Bryon POV

I slightly opened the door of Melody's room, careful not to wake her up if she wasn't awake already. Taking a step into her room, I sensed she was already awake though her eyes were still closed, her breath hitched, probably playing the game of pretence.

"You're not too good at that." I voiced out and she still didn't move a muscle, for some reason, I found that hilarious.

"How are you feeling this morning?" I inquired and she stretched and then slowly opened her eyes.

"Trust me, you're terrible at that," I stated as I sat on the stool facing her.

"Terrible at what?" She asked feigning oblivion of what I was saying, I ain't in the mood to banter on meaningless arguments.

"Forget that, so how do you feel this morning?" I inquired instead, as I held her hand.

"A lot better than yesterday." She replied with a mischievous smile on her lips.

"That's a good sign," I replied as I caressed her soft palm.

"I need to dress your wound, but before I do, you need to wash up." I started with a straight face.

"I guess, Sherie will be the one to help me with that right." She asked with a narrowed eyebrow, probably confused.

"She was supposed to be the one to help you with that but then as it stands, she isn't in town right now," I replied while staring directly into her eyes, making eye contact with her.

"Ahhhh... so....then...." She stuttered while staring at me in a confused manner.

"In that case, I will be the one to help you with that..." She cut me short immediately.

"What? Like you'll bathe me?" She asked with widened eyes, her eyes threatening to bulge out of its socket.

"You heard me right," I added as I stood up on my feet with a stoic expression, then my hands in my pants pocket.

"You can't give me a bath, thanks for the offer though." She replied then covered the blanket well on her body.

I couldn't help chuckling lightly, then began to walk towards the door.

"Okay, I will be back in an hour, perhaps then you must have been done." Without sparing her another glance I walked out of the room and straight out of the house.

I wanted to dress her injury before going out to hunt but then it seems she has everything well planned out. The cold breeze of the winter morning washed all over my body, I closed my eyes to savor the feeling then dashed into the woods.

Running deep into the woods I shifted midair into my beast, my speed increased more as I began to sniff and howl, thirsty for blood. After a few minutes I couldn't find any animal as though they all went into exile.

I ran back to my house and shifted the minute I arrived in front of the door. "Good morning sir." My butler greeted me as he gave me a towel.

"Thanks." I climbed the staircase and then to my room, I walked towards the bathroom immediately and sucked myself in a Jacuzzi.

I need to wash off the frustration flowing in my veins before I let it out on someone. "Ahhhhh huuuu!"I howled all of a sudden and I felt my claws elongate and my canines appeared immediately.

"Thirty!" my wolf growled from within me.

Just like a mirage, I came back to myself again, as though it was just my imagination. The life I never bargained for, most times I find myself questioning my existence in the first place because this is nothing but hell.

"Alpha, it's two hours past the time for the lady to have her breakfast." My butler mind-linked to me and just then I snapped out of my thoughts, I forgot her existence.

"Okay," I replied as I walked out of the Jacuzzi, I made my way to the towel rank and took a bathrobe instead and tied it around my body.

Walking into my walk-in closet, I took black sweatpants plain black pants and a black T-shirt and put them on immediately. Without combing or drying my hair, I walked out of my room.

I opened her room without bothering to knock and then there she sat on her bed, staring at the tiled floor.

"Are you ready to take a bath now?" I inquired and she looked up at me with a grin on her face.

"I still don't want you to give me a bath." I let out an ooh sound and then walked towards the window.

"Come to the lady's room right this minute." I mind-linked to my butler and within a few seconds, I heard a knock on the door.

"Come in." I voiced out as though commanding the door, it opened almost immediately.

"Give her a bath." I let out loud and she looked at me with confusion written on her face.

"Who?" She asked the most dunce question ever.

"Are you numskull?" I inquired with a squirted eyebrow, "Who else can't walk herself to the bathroom?" I asked harshly while pointing at the bathroom door.

"He either gives you a bath or you let me do it, then the other option is that if he leaves here then you'll have yourself to blame for it," I announced then began to walk towards the door.

"Wait, you can help me with the bath." She said with a low tone.

"You should probably know how to talk to people, you shouldn't say it like it's my obligation," I pronounced as I continued walking towards the door.

"Please." She added, it felt like the word was forced out of her mouth.

"You can leave," I said to my butler who had his breath on his hands, obviously didn't want to be a part of whatever was happening.

"We should have been done with this entire scenario a long time ago if you had cooperated." I let out as I took the blanket off her body, trying the best I could to be gentle, that's not my thing though.

She didn't say a word, as I pulled off her gown from her head, her breast full and pointy, her nipples as pink as peaches, calling for kisses, tempting to be sucked on, I swallowed hard then lifted her on my hands and began to walk towards the bathroom.

I felt my wolf rear up its head within me and immediately my claws elongated. This can't be happening now, not now at least. I halted in my tracks and closed my eyes, veins all popped out on my forehead, I tried to stop my canines from elongating, but that was a fruitless trail.

"Thirsty!"I heard him say as my eyes snapped open, bloodshot.
