CHAPTER 31 - THE SPARKS IGNITE



Dimitrios brought her back to their bed and held her securely against his broad chest. His arms wrapped around her, firm yet gentle, his breath warm against her hair. The rhythm of his heartbeat slowly calmed, matching the deep breaths he was taking. Ailara lay still, her body trembling slightly as the aftershocks of their heated encounter faded.

For a brief moment, there was a lull, a short break from the maddening heat that had overtaken her senses. Her mind, clouded moments before with pure need, gained clarity once more, allowing her to think—though it was laced with embarrassment at the raw, unrestrained desire that had just overtaken her. She felt it in every part of her body, the lingering sensitivity, the flush in her cheeks, and the racing of her heart. She could barely look at Dimitrios.

"I... I don't understand," Ailara whispered.. She turned her face into his chest, trying to hide the vulnerability in her voice. "This isn't natural... Not for me. Not for us."

Dimitrios' voice, deep and steady, rumbled through his chest as he responded. "Ailara, it is natural. You're my wife. I will take care of you." His words held a note of pride, as though he saw it as his duty, his right to be the one to satisfy her needs.

"It is one of the Wolfen's highest honor to serve their mate when she goes into heat. It's something we celebrate," he responded as though he heard her thoughts.

She pulled back slightly, her electric blue eyes searching his face. His gaze was dark and possessive, but there was something in his expression that unsettled her—something both protective and primal. Right now, it seems he was running on pure instinct instead of the calculating King she often faced.

"But... I am Vampyr, Dimitrios, and you are Wolfen," she said softly. "Our bodies are not the same. This... this heat shouldn't happen to me." She shook her head, her blonde hair brushing against his chest. "I've been drinking your blood, yes, but it was for healing, for strength. I didn't think it would cause..." her words trailed off, not knowing how to describe the whirlwind of sensations she had just experienced.

Dimitrios ran a hand through her blonde hair, the weight of his touch grounding her as he spoke. "My blood runs through you now. You're bound to me, and I to you. We're becoming more connected than you realize."

Ailara bit her lip, her mind racing.

Could this lead to something more?
