Chapter 6

Drake stood up and shook his body. He changed into a fine man and looked at the woman who laid next to him on the floor. A small smile escaped his mouth and he bent down.

“Do you know, you look so beautiful? I would like to look at you all day long," He caressed her cheeks. 

Anayka swatted his hands as she thought it was a mosquito. He licked his hands that she slapped and moved his face near her. His breathing tickled her and she turned towards the other side. He waited patiently until she went back into a deep sleep.

"Thank you for bringing me to our home. From now on, even if you push me away, I would never leave you,” He declared to the sleeping Anayka.

He lifted her from the ground and walked towards the bed with a naked body. He placed her on the soft mattress and climbed next to her. Then he pulled the blanket above them and hugged her to sleep.

As Anayka was too tired, she dozed off without realizing that she was hugged by a naked man. When she woke up the next day, she noticed that she was lying on the bed. And next to her, the innocent wolf slept with its four legs on top of her body. Especially his front legs that were kept directly above her chest.

She pushed him away and jumped down from the bed in fear. It took her several minutes to remember how the wolf came into her house. Finally, she recalled sleeping on the floor next to the entrance. But she was unsure how she and the wolf got on the bed. 

‘Did I sleepwalk and bring him along with me?’ She wondered. Then she turned towards the wolf, whose eyes were open but he did not move an inch.

“Good morning! Are you feeling better now? I will go get some food for you. I know you must be hungry.” She ruffled his head and rushed towards the kitchen.

She opened the cabinet and took out canned tuna. After opening the can with a can opener, she searched for a bowl that could be used as a food tray for him.

“It looks like I need to go shopping if I have to keep him for a long time.” She talked to herself.

She lifted her plate as she could not find any suitable bowl and dropped the tuna in it. Then she brought the plate to the wolf, who was still sleeping on the bed.

“Here you go, eat it!” She pushed the plate slightly near to his nose.

He sniffed once and ignored the food later.

“Don’t you like it?” She scratched her head and asked.

“Why don’t you give it a try? You may start to like it once you take a lick,” She suggested and tried to encourage him.

But he still laid on the bed as if he was immobile. Anayka became irritated. How could a wolf be so stubborn? He doesn’t look like he was in his old age when he can’t even move. He was prime in his youth and he would not move a muscle! This was totally unacceptable.

“If you are not going to eat right now, then you are leaving me with no choice. I will just inject you with the nutrients for today. And from tomorrow, I will open your mouth and force-feed you. Did you hear me?” She warned him while pointing her index finger at him.

Other than lifting and dropping his tail, Drake did not show any interest in eating at all. He found that it was too much work to eat. He had to first take a bite then he had to chew it nicely. After that, he had to swallow.

‘No! It’s really too much work. I can't do it,’ He thought and fully closed his half-opened eyes.

When Anayka saw that, she jumped on the bed and sat next to him. Then she lifted his head and placed it on her lap. She had already brought a spoon just in case she might have to feed him. 

She took a spoonful of tuna and opened his mouth. She inserted the spoon inside his mouth and once the tuna went in, she pulled the spoon out.

‘Oh! Lady, I just love this treatment. If you feed me daily, then I would definitely eat every meal without fail. But just one suggestion, instead of feeding me raw meat, why don’t you cook something nice?’ He tried to communicate with her telepathically.

When Anayka noticed that he ate the tuna after she fed him, she became happy. She started to feed him continuously until all the meat disappeared from the plate.

“See, it’s so easy. All you need to do is eat your food regularly and you will become ok in no time,” She announced and pushed his head away.

Then she took the plate to the kitchen where she rinsed it and put it in the dishwasher. She came back and checked the time. The clock showed that it was at six o'clock in the morning. She removed her dress and walked towards the bathroom.

Drake, who saw her naked had a nosebleed. He was not expecting her to undress in the bedroom, especially in front of him. As the blood rushed to the area he was not hoping for, he jumped down from the bed. He paced back and forth to control his temptations and arousals.

He tried very hard but it didn’t work. Moreover, the sound of water running in the bathroom sent him blurred images of her naked body soaked in water. He rushed outside the bedroom and jumped into the kitchen sink. He opened the tap and rinsed himself in cold water. He laid there with the cold water flowing on his hot body.

Unknown to his reaction, when Anayka came out of her shower draped in a towel, she noticed that the wolf was missing. 

“Mr. Wolf, where did you go?” She shouted and started to search her house. 

She came out of her bedroom. She heard the water flow and moved towards the kitchen. There she saw the wolf sleeping inside the sink with the faucet on. She was rendered speechless.

“You! How? I mean, I know a wolf can jump up to twelve feet but how did you know to open the faucet?” She asked while leaning near him.

Her fragrance made his eyes jerk open and he met her eyes. His mind buzzed and his body reacted without his control once again. Her watery hair and bare shoulders reflected in his deep blue eyes. Anayka got drowned in his eyes and her brain froze. 

She didn’t know what she was doing. She raised her hands and touched his wet head. A shock wave made her move back and take her hands away from his body. She looked at the wolf in confusion. Suddenly, she felt like she was staring at a naked male human being.

She turned around with her blushing face and ran into the bedroom. She closed the door and leaned against it.

“What am I doing? What is wrong with me? Anayka, this is a crime. How could you suddenly start to have feelings for a wolf?” She slid down the door and sat on the floor while hiding her face with her hands.

“No, no… It must be because I was too tired after yesterday’s journey. Maybe, if I take some rest, I will be fine.” She consoled herself and walked towards the bed.

She closed her eyes and laid on the bed. But she couldn’t sleep at all. All her thoughts circled around the wolf and she wanted to touch him once again.

She clenched her fist and twisted inside the blanket. Her body turned hot and it became unbearable at one point. She didn’t know when her towel slid down on the floor. Her consciousness faded as her body heat started to increase above the maximum level. 

Drake switched off the faucet and jumped down from the kitchen island. He shook his body to get rid of as much water as possible. Then he slowly walked towards the bedroom.

When he saw that it was closed, he turned into a human and opened it. He stepped inside the bedroom and strolled near the bed. He noticed Anayka twisting and twirling inside the blanket.

“Are you going to behave like you did not see the connection between us?” He asked her.

 Other than mumbling, he did not hear a proper response. He lifted her blanket and saw that she was still naked. At that time, he noticed the towel that was below his foot.

“You, do you even realize that it might be considered an invitation, my dear soulmate?” He moved near her face.

Anayka couldn’t understand what was happening around her. All her senses had turned blurry and she felt like she was burning. She wanted something very badly to cool her off. But she didn't know what she wanted.
