Chapter 24  Waking Up

The chaotic night finally came to an end, and the sky the next day was still gray and gloomy. The snow was getting thicker, giving the feeling that the entire second district was sealed off.

Around seven o'clock in the morning, Happiness finally woke up in Alexander's embrace. She was groggy and only felt a sour and uncomfortable sensation in her lower abdomen. As a hot stream gushed out, Happiness shivered and awkwardly realized that her period had arrived.

Her illness came too suddenly last night, and Happiness vaguely remembered Alexander coming back and beating Ben. The black-haired man who always looked at her disdainfully hung an IV drip for her, but she couldn't remember anything else. Her head was still spinning at the moment, and she touched her forehead, feeling that it was still warm. However, the spasms in her stomach had calmed down. Compared to last night, she was already much better, although she still had some pain in her lower abdomen during her period. But this was normal and within her tolerance.

However... however... she didn't even have a sanitary pad, allowing the blood to flow freely, and there was a big man next to her. This situation was too miserable!

Happiness was extremely conflicted. She curled up in the blanket and secretly touched the tissue under her butt. She felt relieved when she realized they had put thick tissues for her. She coughed awkwardly and looked up at Alexander, who was holding her.

With one glance,Happiness was stunned. She felt that Alexander's gaze towards her had changed strangely and subtly. The deep, bottomless black eyes ignited a fanatic flame. His gaze and his arms locked her tightly. The sense of coercion emanating from him made her feel tense and her hair stand on end. When Alexander had looked at her with a cannibalistic gaze a couple of days ago, she could still sense some restraint from him. But now, he had completely lost control. Being stared at by Alexander in such a way made Happiness have an illusion that she was being raped by his eyes!

"Happiness, don't be afraid, everything is fine," Alexander spoke up, his gentle voice greatly alleviating Happiness's nervousness. Was it just her imagination? Happiness put aside her doubts and awkwardly closed her legs, turning over and still pressing her face against Alexander's neck. Her warm breath blew on his skin. Alexander was finally somewhat relieved by Happiness's clinging and rubbing. Eliot said that the humanoid female's period could last anywhere from three days to a week. As long as they got through these few days, he would truly possess the little female beast. She was still bleeding, and Alexander tried hard to remind himself that no matter how alluring her scent was, he couldn't mate with her right now!

Alexander reached over Happiness and picked up a cup from the bedside table. The water in the cup had already turned cold. Last night, he had sent Eliot and the others to rest and now he didn't want to leave Happiness to go heat up water. Looking at Happiness's dry lips, Alexander had an idea. He held the cup to her lips, tilting his head back and took a gulp of cold water. He heated it up in his mouth with his body temperature and then used his thumb to gently stroke Happiness's neck, indicating for her to swallow it.

It was strange. When she was being gawked at by the little steamed bun and being molested, Happiness had never felt the sweet and shy feeling she had now. She had never been in a relationship, but she understood that this was called a heart-throbbing moment. Alexander fed her water bit by bit and gently stroked her throat. This kind of tender care and protection was exactly what Happiness, as an orphan, had longed for. Regardless of the intentions behind this love, she would gratefully accept it. Happiness had been lonely so long.

"Mom..." After drinking water, Happiness nestled into Alexander's arms and whispered in Chinese. Alexander's care for her reminded her of her mother who had passed away early, and the love she had already lost.

"Happiness, I have to leave. The Fifth District of the Canine Clan cannot be without a leader." Alexander patted Happiness's back, saying reluctantly. He knew that Happiness couldn't understand him, but he always wanted to explain to her why he had left her. Yesterday, when he mentioned it, Happiness panicked and felt lost when she thought she had been abandoned. He felt extremely uncomfortable.

"I won't abandon you. Wait for me obediently in District Two. Once things are settled in District Five, I will be able to be with you." Alexander licked Happiness's lips and said to her.

After coaxing the little female beast to sleep and seeing Lionel change her medicine, Alexander had to leave. He wished he could carry Happiness with him at all times, but reality was reality. Just like Abyssyus and Damian, he couldn't put everything aside and focus solely on Happiness.

"Ben and Eliot, you know how important Happiness is. I won't say much. Especially you, Ben. Happiness got seriously ill because of you, and you still want me to plead for you..." In the first-floor hall, Alexander commanded the two male beasts of the Canine Clan.

"Alexander, I know what to do. It won't happen again. I will do everything I can to protect Happiness." Ben promised. He was honest and valued his promises. Whatever he said, he would definitely do.

"Don't worry, even if Happiness's period ends in a few days, we won't mess around." Eliot said seriously.

"I believe in you." Alexander nodded in satisfaction and said to the two wolf clan members, "Lus and Andy, I hope you always remember your promise to Damian. Otherwise, I don't need to take action. You should know better than me about Damian's methods."

Lus and Andy both had sincere expressions and agreed wholeheartedly.

Alexander felt slightly relieved. He looked up at the upper floor and lowered his voice, "Pay attention to Lionel."

The four male beasts looked at each other and nodded solemnly.

Alexander left with one last look, and without the human furnace Happiness, who had not slept enough for half an hour, woke up from the cold. She hugged the blanket shivering, feeling depressed when she realized that Alexander was gone again. Then she stared at the blizzard outside the window, the howling wind making the glass rattle! For her, this cold temperature was truly unacceptable! Their house was too strange, having all kinds of technological products, but no heating equipment!

So cold, so cold! Happiness huddled up, covering her head with the blanket. Suddenly, she heard the sound of the room door being pushed open. She looked out from the gap in the blanket and saw Ben, Eliot, and the other four people entering one after another. Eliot even held a stove-shaped object.

To increase the temperature and humidity in Happiness's room, Eliot came up with an idea. He deliberately brought in an electric heater and placed it by Happiness's bed, with a pot of hot water on it. Happiness stuck her cold hand next to the heater, trying to warm her fingers. Ben who was holding a stack of paper, noticed her cold fingers and was shocked. He said to Eliot, "Happiness's body temperature is too low, her hands are so cold!"

Without a second thought, Eliot quickly took off his coat and got on the bed before anyone could react, holding the trembling Happiness in his arms. Then he said to the stunned Ben, "Alright, change the tissue for Happiness."

Saying that, Eliot lifted Happiness's waist and buttocks, while Ben regretted his outburst, regretting why he had shouted. If not, he could have directly held Happiness. He replaced the tissue for Happiness, carefully sealing the dirty blood tissue in a bag. They planned to burn all these things that had a strong female scent. The two male beasts acted quickly, and by the time Happiness realized what had happened, the tissue had already been changed. Although she felt embarrassed, she had no choice.

"Andy, Lus, and Ben you guys go back to sleep first. We can't all stay with Happiness. We need to take turns and also prevent any unforeseen situations," Eliot said.

"It's better for two people to take turns, right?" Lus smiled. "Andy, you stay, and in the afternoon, Lu and I will switch with you."

Lus' arrangement was good. This way, they could supervise each other and separate Lu and Andy, who were both young and full of energy. With him and Eliot watching over them, it was better than having the two young ones take care of Happiness alone.

"That's fine," Eliot agreed with this arrangement. Ben had no choice but to leave with Lus, while Andy happily stayed by the fireplace. Since Happiness's left hand was still connected to an IV and couldn't move, Andy treated that little hand as a treasure. He would occasionally use a warm towel to apply heat and promote blood circulation, taking care of her meticulously.

Young people are easy to entertain, Eliot thought silently.

Happiness warmed up in Eliot's arms, and her freezing hands and feet became warm. Although Eliot's embrace was equally warm, it felt unfamiliar to her. But Happiness didn't care about that. She snuggled into his chest. It wasn't about being open-minded or anything like that. If no one gave her warmth, she would definitely freeze to death!

Her stomach started to ache again, and Alexander was nowhere to be found. Happiness couldn't sleep peacefully. Seeing her restless in his arms, Eliot picked up a literacy textbook and held Happiness against his chest. He opened the book and used his slender fingers to point at a picture. His gentle voice emitted two short syllables.

Happiness perked up. She had already thought that Comrade Glasses man was super attentive, and now it seemed true! God knows that what she wanted the most was to seize every moment to study! Happiness's almond-shaped black eyes sparkled as she focused on the picture Eliot pointed to. Combining it with the text below, she diligently learned Eliot's pronunciation. Eliot's soft and charming voice, mixed with the scent of blood in the air, made both Eliot and Andy's legs numb. Andy let out a groan and couldn't help but press his dick , slowly rubbing it. Eliot finally matured a bit. He glanced at Andy, resisting the urge to masturbate while holding Happiness, and continued to hold the book, teaching her word by word.

Clearly, Eliot understood early childhood education very well. His teaching was much more efficient compared to Ben and Alexander. After teaching each page, he always had Happiness look at the picture and silently recite it. Step by step, Happiness was a very cooperative student. Not only did she silently recite, but she also actively asked to write it down. This learning attitude was very upright, earning Eliot's great admiration. This morning, Happiness's vocabulary had made significant progress.
