Claimed by My Bully Alpha (by Anna Kendra) novel Chapter 105

Chapter 105

Aurora’s POV

I paced around my room restlessly, my heart thumping against my ribcage hard enough to leave bruises. But I couldn’t settle down.

How? How was this even possible? Caleb was a werewolf? Then how on earth was he sick?

Was it…was it because of-

“Aura!” Caroline called as she burst in through the doors, and instantly, I was racing into her arms. She held her arms open for me, and I wrapped my arms around her, feeling the comfort of her embrace like a calming balm to my soul.

“It’s alright, Aura. Calm down.” Caroline soothed her fingers through my hair as she spoke in a calming voice. “Everything’s gonna be alright.”

I nodded against her shoulders, feeling that odd sense of calm wash over me, her and stepped back so I could look her in the eyes.

but it wasn’t long before my worry for Caleb’s health resurfaced and I let go of

“How is Caleb? Has his fever gone down yet?” I asked her urgently, grabbing onto her shoulders. “Is it…was it something I did? Was it my fault?”

“Aura, no, no!” She shook her head, trying to calm me down once again. “It’s…a bit complicated. Umm…how do I say this?”

“What’s going on?” I shook my head to clean my mind. “I…I don’t understand, Caroline. Caleb was burning up! I don’t even know if werewolves could get sick. How could this happen to him?”

“We don’t. Get sick that is, at least not easily,” Caroline sighed, rubbing at her temples. “Our genetic material is just build different and usually, our temperature is higher than that of a normal human, so germs don’t survive in our bodies for long.”

“Then why is this happening to him, Caroline?” I urged, fear gripping my heart with icy fingers. “Why is this happening to Caleb?”

“Well…umm…it’s just that…it’s a wolf thing…” Caroline hesitated, looking around the room as she bit her lip and scratched the back of her neck.

I frowned. Something didn’t feel right about the whole situation. Caleb was sick, he had a bad fever and had to be taken away to the infirmary, and yet, even after two hours of waiting for someone to come and give me an explanation on what was happening…I didn’t get anything. And now that Caroline was here, the one person who I expected to give me some kind of proper explanation…she too seemed to be hesitating to tell me the truth?

What on earth was even going on with Caleb and why wasn’t I being fold anything? I needed to know the truth! I needed to know if it was…because of me!

“Is it because of me?” I blurted out at last, unable to hold it in any longer. “Is…Caleb sick because of me? Did I do something to him?”

“I wouldn’t exactly say that, Aurora…like I said before, it’s complicated. It-”

“But you didn’t deny it either, Caroline.” I retorted. “That means somehow…I’m at fault, right? He is sick because of me!”

Caroline looked down at the ground and once again, bit her lip, stalling further while icy fingers gripped my heart, fear making my blood freeze in my veins. “Oh god!”

‘Every time it beats…it’s for you.‘

Caleb’s words from last night rang in my ears. How he had made me feel his heartbeat and how I had comfortably fallen asleep in his arms only to wake up to this nightmare!

God…how could this happen to Caleb, especially/when things were starting to look up for us. Did the gods really wanted me to feel miserable all my life? Why couldn’t I have one day of happiness?

“Aurora…it’s not what you think! Caleb doesn’t have any…disease…” Caroline finally confirmed. “He’s in Rut!”

I blinked. “I don’t understand.”
