That male was not me

The next few days,

The surge of pain woke Keira up from the abyssal sleep. She slowly breathed, inhaled, and exhaled with a careful rhythm avoiding trembling the deep wound in her chest. What troubled her the most was the legs that had been used beyond their limits to flee the monsters were completely numb, any reckless move could make her scream the loving hell out of her.

Tilting her head, strands of ashen desert hair were snuggled on her neck. she then glanced up to the familiar handsome face.

Although his almond-shaped eyes were closed serenely, his pale complexion was a sign of restless sleep. Glancing higher, the scythe-shaped eyebrows were also furrowed tightly showing how much distress he maintain.

His eyes squint when he felt the shifting of the female in his arms, he lazily opened his blue eyes and sudden widened when he found the female awake.

"Keira, how do you feel?" He swept his gaze on her figure seeing her wounds were slightly better he then breathe out a sigh of relief. The fear of infection had troubled him, it was great that her wounds look well today.

"I-it's hurt" numerous sudden tears welled up in her eyes as soon as she finished her words. she blinked, rapid breath, and turned to emotionally shocked. Now she was in her peak outburst, and could no longer hold back her tears.

The tears streamed unceasingly down her cheeks, sobbing frantically totally forgetting that the shake of sobbing will cause the wound on her chest to ache even more. Keira felt like she was going crazy, It was too much for her, all this overbearing pain.

Xander carefully tugged her into his arms, how she was right now was heart-aching. What horrors has she experienced to make her defenseless to this extent? he tightened his lips, watching Keira's face reddened as how she cried like there was nothing in this world for her to care, how she screamed relentlessly from the shock of overwhelming emotions. His heart thumped, his hands stroking her head, his mouth soothing, doing all he could to ease her pain.

.

As her sobs moderately settled, he moved his hands, cupping her cheeks "Can you tell me what happened?"

Her swollen eyes turned blankly, gasping for air before panting and taking a deep breath "monsters attack me" She paused, the sight of those hideous monsters popping up in her head made her lips curl in disgust " They attack me when I was at home, I escaped and collapsed and.." she shifted her gaze, just realizing the surrounding. It was a chamber made of wood that has been joined together with vines roped into a triangle tent. The architecture looked more advanced if compared with the tribe she used to see that was made of caves or mud.

The gaze of the female that was everywhere made Xander explain "we are in the fox tribe, I found you unconscious in the forest so I brought you here"

"oh.." she turned her gaze up to his face " Thank you chief.. xander"

She sniff her tear back before turning her gaze back to his body that was..naked? He was completely naked, not a single piece of clothing was on his muscled body. But no.. her unholy eyes haven't stopped there, she accidentally gazed down at his thick shaft that was fully exposing. Her eyes went widened, she was so stunned her sadness totally disappeared.

Keira quickly shifted her body away but the pain stopped her from moving further.

He grabbed her arm "Don't move yet"

"but you lay naked here"

"your body was ice cold so I'm giving you my warmth"

He hugged her tighter, his thick shaft now pressed firmly against her skin 'Oh lord.. the situation was too sensual'

she gasped "Chief I'm fine now, please.. wear something" swallowed her breath, her heart beating rapidly as the shaft twitching against her bare skin.

Seeing her reaction, Xander tightened his lips and slowly moved away. he grabbed an animal skin loincloth and wear it. Feeling disappointed, his eyes droop down before he turned to the table and take the decoction.

" It will help your body recover" he sat on the bedside and helped her lay on his chest.

Keira gazed down at the dark liquid with disgust, wanting to collapse on the floor right there, right now, right that moment 'Im telling you my body is now eighty-one percent made out of decoction I swear with my tiny remains sanity, the greatest villain in this world must be a damn decoction' she drank all of it in one go and Xander help her lay back down.

She then slowly regained her sense wondering why he was here "why are you here at the fox tribe? and how did you find me? how.." she paused when Arel's face came to her mind "Arel .. where where's Arel? did you see him did you see my mate?" she clenched the bedsheet tightly.

" I believe he is fine but.." he paused, gritting his teeth "he failed to protect you, he doesn't deserve to be your mate. how could he let you hurt into this condition" his hypnotic-blue eyes went fury, how Keira drenched in blood was still clear In his remembering.

"No no.. please I beg you Chief please find him" her tears started rolling down her cheeks "I would do anything please find him" She begged him with all her strength, If she was not in this overbearing pain condition, she would even kneel down and beg in front of him

His heart ached with how sorrowful she was, he tugged her into his embrace, slowly stroking her back to soothe her. Such admirable how a female loved her mate this deeply. Regretfully, that male was not him. He sighed at the fact of it. He thought that Keira was glad to see him and the kiss they had together had a deeper meaning but she seemed to have completely forgotten what happened that day.

"I will find him" he sighed
