* * * * * Logan’s POV * * * * *
I drove into the castle angrily. I can’t believe I have been fooled, if I should get the idiot that played that prank on me, then I will definitely skin him alive.
There was nothing wrong at my office. No fire outbreak, no comotions and that fool decided to mess with me and ruin my big time. He destroyed the best moment of my life and made me abandon my mate in the mating process.
I know Crystal must have been hurt by my actions, but I am going to make it up to her tonight. I will give her all the pleasure that she could ever imagine.
I parked my car in the garage and without even caring to lock the gate, I headed to my chambers. I don’t know why Lucy decided to give all the servants a day off, she could have at least asked the gateman to stay, but she let them all go.
She’s not yet my mate and she’s acting this way, so I wonder what she will turn this Castle into if she were to become my Luna.
I got to my bedroom door and paused, then I took a deep breath in and out.
I remember I had asked Crystal to get undressed before I returned. That was silly of me to say, I know she would find it awkward and she wouldn’t do it, but if she did, then that would have taken all the fun out of it.
I pushed the door open and walked in with a smile on my face, but the smile faded away when I saw Crystal laying on the bed with eyes closed.
So she already fell asleep? As much as I was disappointed, I could also understand how she felt. She must have had a long day and I can’t expect her to sit and wait around for me, perhaps I should let her sleep.
From my experience, sex is more enjoyable in the earliest hours of the day, so we can get intimate early in the morning, then I can spend the rest of the day with her. Work would have to be canceled tomorrow as well.
I closed the door and walked to the bed. I wonder why she covered herself with the heavy duffel blanket. The weather is hot.
I went to the wardrobe and took out my pair of pajamas. I think I should get one for her too, she won’t be comfortable sleeping in that gown.
I got dressed in the pajamas and brought out one of my baggy shirts for her to wear. Getting closer to the bed, something caught my attention.
She was shivering under the blanket. I rushed to her immediately and touched her forehead, it was hot like an oven.
“Crystal!” I called, with my heart thumping in fear.
She groaned and opened her eyes slowly. “Logan,” she muttered in a weak voice.
“What happened to you?” I asked and also felt the temperature of her neck. It was twice as hot as her forehead.
“I… I don’t know, I suddenly started feeling feverish and my stomach is paining me,” she said in a whisper.
My heart flipped. She was unwell? But she looked perfect to me a few hours ago, how did she suddenly fall sick?
“But how so suddenly? Did anyone come here when I was gone or did anything happen?” I queried.
She shook her head gently, signifying the negative response to my questions. I was puzzled, her health suddenly moved from like 80% to 20, that’s weird.
“Don’t worry, I’ll call the doctor now,” I said and patted her head.
I dialed Blake’s number and it started ringing. I had to call him because I did not have the doctor’s contact, he was the only one who saved the numbers.
He picked up after the second ring. “Yes Alpha, it is a beautiful Sunday evening and I’m spending time with my family, please don’t give me any work tonight, I beg of you.” He said jokingly.
I growled. “Shut up and call the Pack doctor immediately.” I ordered.
“What? The doctor? Who needs a doctor?” He queried.
I clench my fist. I don’t have time for this now, but it’s obvious he will just keep asking until I tell him.
“It’s Crystal, she is unwell and she’s in the Castle with me,” I replied
“Crystal is in the castle? By this time?”
“Stop asking questions and call the doctor already!!” I yelled.
Crystal raised her hand and placed it on mine which I had kept laying on the bed. I think she was trying to tell me to calm down, but she did not have the strength to talk.
“Alright Logan, I will do that right now,” Blake replied and I hung up the call.
“Don’t worry Crystal, the doctor will be here soon, and you will be fine,” I assured and she forced a smile.
I have not seen her in this shape before. Just then, there was a knock on the door.
I wished it was the doctor but I already knew it wasn’t possible. Even if he was the fastest man alive, he couldn’t have arrived here by now.
I walked through the door and opened it. Like I had expected, it was Lucy. I wonder what she wants now.
“Hi, sorry to disturb you but I forgot my nightie here and you know I cannot sleep without it,” she said with an appealing face.
I growled. “I clearly told you to take all your stuff!”
“I know, but no one is above mistakes so don’t get so angry on your special night.” She giggled.
I scoffed. Special night? This is literally going to be the worst night of my life.
“Take it quickly and leave!” I instructed in a stern voice.
She smiled and walked in. She shot a glance towards the bed, then faced the wardrobe immediately.
I stood at the door with my eyes following her, watching her every step. I don’t trust her one bit.
She went to the wardrobe and in less than a minute, she found her nightie then she turned back to the door.
Halfway through, she paused and looked towards the bed, then she turned to me.
“Um… Is everything okay with Crystal? She doesn’t look fine to me,” she said.
I gritted my teeth in anger, trying my best not to lose control of my emotions.
I was already angry and she was irritating me the most with her presence.
“She is not feeling fine,” I replied
“What? Why? What happened to her?” She queried.
“It’s nothing serious, she just has a fever so you should not worry about it. You can leave now,” I said.
“But Logan, she needs…”
“I said you should not worry about it, I can take care of my mate. Now if you don’t mind, please leave this room, we don’t need noise here,” I warned in a harsh tone.
She smiled and nodded, then she left with the nightie. I cursed in my mind and shut the door after she left.
She can pretend all she wants but I am not going to fall for it. I wonder who she’s trying to fool with her act, pretending to care for Crystal would not make me change my mind about her.
I went back to the bed and sat by Crystal side.
“Logan,” she muttered.
“Yes dear,”
“You should not have spoken to her like that,” she said.
“Please just rest Crystal, forget about her. You don’t need to stress yourself over it,” I replied and patted her head.
How can someone be so perfect? She cared about someone who once had intentions of killing her, not everyone can do that.
About thirty minutes later, there was another knock on the door. I hope Lucy did not make the mistake of coming back here again, because if she did, I won’t take it lightly with her.
I walked through the door and opened it. I was relieved to find out that it was Blake and the doctor. We exchanged greetings.
The doctor walked in and without waiting for my instruction, he headed towards Crystal on the bed.
Blake also walked in with a small smile, he spread his arms for a hug and I shot him a stern glance. Quickly, he lowered his arm and walked towards the bed.
“Clown,” I muttered and closed the door, then I joined them beside the bed.
