The Lunar Curse: A Second Chance With Alpha Draven novel Chapter 162

Chapter 162: Two Ways

Meredith.

By the time Draven was done with me, I couldn’t find my footing.

My legs shook so badly that I couldn’t stand for longer than three seconds.

"Do you need help?" Draven asked, walking over to my side of the bed with the last slice of pizza in his hand.

We had eaten almost everything last night after our entanglement, leaving only three slices. I didn’t feel like eating pizzas again this morning, so I left the rest for Draven.

"If I do, would you lift me?" I asked, waiting for his answer.

"I would," he replied, taking a bite of the slice, "as long as you don’t mind."

A smile slowly grew across my face.

I still can’t believe that I would be on such good terms with Draven one day, allowing us to have such sweet conversations that made blush creep up to my cheeks.

It felt so weird, yet made so much sense.

It would actually be nice to find myself in Draven’s arms, but I couldn’t risk today. Not that I minded, but I didn’t want my maidservants teasing me if they saw me in that position.

"No. I will walk back to my bedroom on my own," I said. "But thank you for the offer."

He shrugged and pushed what was remaining of the pizza into his mouth.

I watched him eat everything and swallow it. Big men eat big food.

Oh! I forgot. Draven is not a man. He is a beast, just like I am.

I finally managed to get off the bed, despite my shaky legs. They were caring, funny, but still manageable.

"Do you have to leave now?" Draven asked, watching me.

Does he miss me already?

I felt like teasing, but there wasn’t any time for that. I was practically in a hurry to return to my own bedroom.

"I have to. I want to freshen up and dress myself before my maidservants arrive to get me ready for today. I don’t want them making guesses about last night after seeing the marks on my body," I explained.

Draven’s brows furrowed briefly. He was walking beside me as I headed for the door.

"If that’s what you’re running away from, there is no need," he said.

"Huh?"

"They would still be able to smell me on you that way, they would know you’ve been with me, in different ways."

Then he wiggled his brows in a funny way.

I was new to this wolf shit. So, I always forgot that we are very sensitive.

I groaned. "So, there is no escaping this?"

"There are two ways. One, I can walk you to your bedroom and simply sit with you for a while so they don’t dare make fun of you even after I leave. Or two, keep a straight face and don’t entertain their jokes."

In the end, I told Draven I would figure it out on my own.

He walked me to my door and watched me go into my bedroom before he left.

Now inside my bedroom, I quickly went into the bathroom and climbed into the bathtub of warm water.

I didn’t start washing myself. I just lay there, allowing the warmth from the water to do wonders for my nerves.

A deep sigh escaped my lips.

I really needed help with my bath this morning, but with the way I was leaking Draven’s seeds, I didn’t want anyone else to wash me and notice.
