Chapter 8

Anayka lifted him from the floor and kissed his forehead. When his cold paw touched her two softballs, she instantly looked down.

“Aahhhh…” She screamed and dropped him on the floor.

Then she ran inside the bedroom to put on some clothes. Drake laid on the floor and admired her back view.

“What is wrong with me? Why am I behaving like a pervert? Thank goodness, I didn’t open the curtain earlier. Or else the whole world would have noticed me in my birth suit. Idiot! Idiot!” She hit her head and took one of the dresses randomly out of her wardrobe.

She pulled it down from her head and walked towards the window. She slightly opened the blinds and the bright sun blinded her eyes. She closed it immediately and turned around only to meet the wolf’s deep blue eyes.

Drake had crawled inside the bedroom and laid on the entrance, blocking the way.

‘My sexy baby! My sexy Baby! I want to tear the thin silky layer covering your body… Your body! You look sexier with this thin dress on top of your silky body... Silky body, silky body, silky body... As there is no underwear covering your private, sexy parts...sexy parts, sexy parts... it makes me want to change back and devour you... again and again, again and again, again and again...’ He sang in his mind and his tail rocked the floor rhythmically.

His eyes kept on roaming wherever she went. She felt goosebumps all over her body. She abruptly turned towards him to check if he was staring at her. Drake immediately closed his eyes and pretended as if he was in a deep sleep. Once her attention was somewhere else, he opened his eyes wide and ogled at her.

“I know you are looking at me right now. So, stop acting like an innocent creature. You dirty wolf,” She muttered and got ready to go to the clinic.

She can’t believe that she overslept until three in the afternoon. Within ten minutes she got ready and she was all set to go. She walked near the wolf and patted his head. 

“I have to go to the clinic now. Be a good boy. Stay at home and do not make any noise. I will be back soon.” She said and walked around the wolf.

Before leaving, she ruffled his head and pecked his forehead. Drake blushed. Even though they had done everything, still he thought this was her second kiss, she gave him with consciousness.

Anayka felt weird. Each time she touched him, an electric current passed throughout her body. She felt butterflies in her stomach.

"Why don't I skip today and stay with you?" She asked and hugged him.

'Please do so. We can go for round two if you want. What do you say?' Once again he tried to communicate telepathically with her.

"No, no... I can't skip work today. I have an important client appointment at six o'clock today. So, I am leaving..." She said and stood up from the floor.

He looked at her in disapproval but did not voice out his objection as he was too lazy to do that. With a sad face, he kept the head on his front legs and closed his eyes.

Just when she was about to go out of her home, her stomach growled. She realized that she forgot to eat. She rushed back and dashed towards the kitchen. Drake’s ears immediately perked up and he lifted his head in surprise.

‘I had just closed my eyes, did it already become so long that she came back from her clinic?’ He wondered.

He tried to extend his neck outside to check if she was really back. But he could not see her even after struggling for a long time. So, he once again started to crawl slowly and reached the end of the bedroom.

‘Ah! It’s too tiresome to move my body. If someone can pull me towards the living room, it would be nice,’ He complained and crawled with great difficulty as if he had no energy left in his body.

Anayka, who came to give some food to the wolf, saw that and she laughed out aloud.

"I can not believe that such a passive wolf actually exists in this world. Moreover, you even survived for so long. It’s no wonder your pack decided to abandon you. Aren’t wolves one of the fastest animals? Why do you act like you are too sick to even walk?" She asked him.

She couldn’t understand why he is behaving like this even after thinking for a long time. He is perfectly healthy and he should be vigorous for his prime age. But the way he behaved is like a wolf, who is almost on the verge of his deathbed.

She squatted down next to him and started to play with his paw. She checked all four limbs and found that he is perfectly alright.

"Am I missing something? Are you really sick? Show me some symptoms, so that I can find out what is exactly wrong with you," She asked him.

He stared at her with his blue eyes. Once again she got mesmerized by them and moved close to his face. She shook her head and came out of her daydream.

“Here, eat this for now. When I come back in the evening, I will get a new bowl and other necessary things for you. I am leaving,” She said.

She moved the plate with the food that he cooked for her in the morning near him. He noticed that she had packed a lunch box for her. He felt happy and a sluggish grin escaped the corner of his mouth.

Once she left, he changed back into a handsome man once again. He lifted the plate from the floor and walked to the kitchen. He took a spoon and started to eat his lunch naked.

“Hmm… Not bad. My cooking does taste good. She is lucky to have me as her soulmate,” He praised his own cooking and had a triumph look on his face.

After finishing his meal, he walked towards the phone and dialed his friend's phone number.

“So how is everything going over there?” He asked.

“Have you gone mad? Where are you? Why did you not follow us? The pack had decided to let you go. You are abandoned. Do you even understand the consequence of your act and their decision? An angry voice echoed through the phone.

He kept the receiver away from his ear until his friend's rant ended. Then he put the receiver near his ear and said,

“Listen, Beryl, you must use this opportunity to compete against Jerry and take over the Alpha position. Also, do not worry about me. I am fine. I found my soulmate and mated,” He declared.

“Hahaha,” Beryl laughed out aloud as he found what he said funny and silly.

Drake crunched his face and moved the receiver once again away from his ears. Beryl laughed for more than fifteen minutes. Drake got irritated as he didn’t know which part of what he said was funny? 

‘It’s tiring to even analyze that. I must continue my afternoon nap,’ He thought.

Once he decided that, he slammed the receiver and dropped his body on the sofa. 

Beryl, who did not expect that, kept on checking his phone and then started to say ‘hello’s’. Once he found out that Drake had actually disconnected the call, he felt upset. He immediately dialed the number he received the call from.

The phone rang for a long time but no one picked it up. He did not stop calling the number until Drake lifted the phone. Drake laid on the sofa without moving an inch. He thought of letting the phone ring how many times it wanted to. But when he recalled Anayka’s warning to stay quiet without making any noise, he extended his leg to lift the phone from the side table.

The first few times, he missed as he was a little away from the side table. Then he shifted slightly down and tried once again to lift the receiver with his leg. He almost successfully lifted it. But just before he could get it close to him. It fell on the ground.

He didn’t feel like getting up from the sofa, so he turned around and closed his eyes. 

“Anyway, the ringing stopped. So, what is the use of getting up now?” He mumbled.

Beryl was happy that Drake finally lifted his phone call. Once again he realized that even though the phone was lifted, there was no one he could talk to.

He disconnected the call and dialed the phone number Drake called him from earlier. But this time, he got an operators voice on the call,

“We are sorry but the number you are trying to reach is currently busy. Please try again later.”

“Drake,” He shouted and was about to slam the phone on the ground in frustration.
