Mine novel Chapter 25

Roy woke up early the next morning, washed his face, brushed his teeth and headed for the kitchen. He needed to go see if Kimberly ate her dinner, because, when he made dinner last night and called her to come eat, she said she was going to join him later but he waited until he felt sleepy and eventually went to bed, so he needed to know if she actually had dinner.

He went into the kitchen and found it the same way he had left it last night, which meant she didn’t come down for dinner last night causing him to get worried. He turned around and headed for the bedroom. On getting there, he took a deep breath before knocking on the door but there was no response. He knocked twice and still got no response so instead of still knocking on the door, he quietly opened it, so as not to make any noise in case she was still asleep, but to his surprise, she wasn’t in the room. Where could she have gone to? But her bed is still rumpled like she just got out of bed, so where is she?

Roy suddenly heard a noise coming from the bathroom. He walked towards that direction and knocked on the door before going in. He saw Kimberly throwing up in the toilet. He did the closest thing he could think of, which was to hold her hair back and rub her back while she threw up.

Kimberly couldn’t sleep all through the night no matter how hard she tried because she felt so scared and alone. Whenever she tried closing her eyes, images of her new friends and fiancé kept flashing inside her head. Her mind couldn’t think of anything else other than that and it was beginning to take a toll on her as she was already feeling sick. She couldn’t bring herself to have dinner. How could she when her fiancé and friends were all dead?

Eating would only mean that she was glad they were gone which wasn’t true. Thinking about it, she wished she was dead like the others, that would’ve been easier and less tormenting because she has no clue if she was even going to make it out alive in these woods and even if she did, how was she going to face her dad?

How was she going to tell him the truth without losing his trust? All these thoughts kept running through her head until she felt sick in her stomach. She hurriedly climbed out of bed and ran into the bathroom to throw up but the only thing coming out of her system was bile, making her eyes sting. Gosh! Her mouth felt so bitter.

Kimberly felt empty inside but her system was saying otherwise as she still felt sick in her stomach, causing her to throw up some more bile. Her whole body was soaked in sweat and she was dehydrated but taking water at this moment would do her no good, it would only make her feel more irritated.

Kimberly was still throwing up when suddenly she felt someone’s hand soothing her back. After minutes of emptying her already empty stomach, she flushed the toilet and turned on the faucet to wash her mouth and face before turning to hug Roy tightly, crying into his chest.

Roy couldn’t believe it, his mate was in his arms and needed his comfort. He was tense at first by her sudden contact, but later relaxed and returned the hug. Her body was perfect against his and he couldn’t help but get lost in her scent. Her skin was so smooth and soft, softer than he had imagined. This was like heaven, after so many years of going through hell. He had yearned for her for so many years and now she was in front of him. His life, his everything was in his arms.

His wolf was slowly beginning to take over as it couldn’t wait any longer to mark his mate. He nuzzled her neck, not having complete control of his actions as his canines were itching to protrude, but he fought with his wolf while still trying to keep his composure in order not to scare her away. After minutes of fighting with his wolf, he eventually won.

He then noticed that Kimberly was burning up. He didn’t notice that earlier because his wolf was really excited about having his mate in his arms. He carefully and hesitantly pulled away from the hug.

“I’m sorry” she timidly apologized, feeling embarrassed
