Chapter 22
The painter is a healer of the self and others, for their art is a story told in the foundational languages of the brain - in emotion, in visual dream-language. And so their painting is societal medicine and the reason we are so drawn to art becomes ever more obvious. The painting is the artists' soul upon the canvas, a story of colors and rising hope. Every painting is a story of healing, of seeking "love-tings" and "comfort-tings."
They have been roaming around the museum this whole evening and for the first time, she talked so much with him. She's been explaining what the paintings meant to her, how she saw them, how those paintings spoke of life. He saw the spark in her eyes, the ghost smile on her lips, and the calmness of her posture. He loved when he could hold her close and she didn't push him away. He doesn't know if she was just distracted by the paintings orRelated chapters

The hospital corridor looked like something out of a Star Trek episode. Everything that could shine shone brightly. There were stainless steel, sleek floors, and natural images on the walls in colors as vibrant as glacier melt-water or spring flowers. The air smelled fresh and clean, not sterile. Music was playing in the background at just the right volume to lift the spirits of the patients and staff. But the best part was the ceiling, which was simply clear and high arched under where he was furiously pacing back and forth outside the room where his mate was being treated. His sleeves were folded till his elbow, the top two buttons of his shirt were undone, and his hair was tousled from the number of times he ran his hands through them. His beast was at bay, clawing at his mental barrier, desperate to be free and to be close to their mate. He was furious, angry, irritated, and m

She was laying on the bed, lost in the world of words, reading a book. A knock on the door drew her attention, and she allowed the person to enter. Megan walked in through the open door, her eyes filled with a different emotion that caught Ariel off guard."I'm so glad to see you're feeling better, My Lady." She said a bow, her voice tinged with emotion."It's good to see you, Megan." With a smile, Ariel responded."I was very concerned about you and His Highness. He hasn't been in the castle since you were in coma. He hadn't eaten or slept well, and I was worried he'd get sick as well." She expressed her concern."He hasn't been here?" Ariel inquired with a small frown. She tried her best to make him come to his room to take proper rest but he doesn't seem to listen."No, My Lady. He didn't leave your side even for a minute. He worked, ate, and slept in t

Ariel was laying in their bed as the sunset over the horizon, a stack of pillows behind her back for support and a book in hand. The door opened and his scent enveloped her; soon he walked in, his jaw clenched, body tensed and an unreadable expression on his face, his eyes cold, and she set the book aside and inquired,"Is there something wrong?" He didn't respond to her question; instead, he came straight up to her and hugged her, his nose buried in her neck. He took a few whiffs of her scent, pushed her behind the pillow, and simply laid with her. She was taken aback by his sudden behavior, but she said nothing and just lay there with him curdling her. His thick hair was caressed by her hand. And with a low growl of approval, he drew her in closer, if that was even possible. His tensed muscles soon relaxed and he drifted off to sleep. She, too, fell asleep after a while, su

"I think my heat is getting close," she said abruptly as the realization dawned on her. "Well, that's a hell of a lot of timing," he said as he looked up at her and blinked a few times. He let out a sigh."We'll go back to the castle," he said once more."I'm not even sure if my heat is nearing, you can't just cancel this visit for that. It's important that you be there." She shook her head."It's more important that I keep you somewhere safe when you're going through your heat!""I'll be fine," she rolled her eyes and Aiden buried his nose back in the crook of her neck.They drove through the dense forest for a couple of hours before reaching the highway. They paused for a snack and a restroom break every now and then. Aiden was in a playful mood the entire ride, cracking jokes and teasing her. They finally arrived at the Dawn Pack border when the sun was

!Trigger warning: Blood and violence!After their encounter, they returned inside, and the rest of the dinner was quiet. Ariel was quiet from then, Aiden didn't question about the sudden change of behavior. They went to sleep after dinner and barely had any conversation. Ariel woke up the following morning on her side of the bed, alone. Aiden was nowhere to be found as she looked around the room. She stood up and dressed after taking a shower. A knock came on her door a few moments later. When she opened the door, one of their warriors stood there with another woman. The petite woman was dressed in maid uniform and carrying a platter of food. Her black hair was neatly pulled up in a bun, she had brown eyes, and her lips were slightly parted. She appeared nervous, and sweat was forming on her brow.

!trigger warning: Mild sxual content!She dragged herself into the bedroom through the window, stumbling through the woods. Her breathing was erratic, she was bleeding profusely, and the wound showed no signs of healing. She dragged her feet to the restroom. It was becoming increasingly difficult for her to breathe, and she was afraid of collapsing. She took the first aid kit from the bathroom and took off her jacket and tee shirt. She placed a gauge over the wound in an attempt to temporarily stop the bleeding. She poured antiseptics on her wound and looked at it. It was one and a half inches wide and quite deep. She looked for a needle but couldn't find one, so she settled for a sharp long pin and some thread. She disinfected the thread by dipping it in antiseptic. She warmed up the needle with her fire ability and bent its head like a fish hook. She stuffed her face with her

They spent the entire night in the bathtub filled with cold water. Throughout the night, he changed the water several times and kept her close. Doing everything he could to lessen her pain. When the sun came up and her temperature dropped, he assisted her in getting out of the water. He brought out one of his shirts and a fresh pair of boxers. Male wolves specifically Lycans and Alpha's are very possessive over their mate when they are going through heat. He wanted her to be surrounded by his scent alone, thus he wanted her to be in his clothes. After drying her hair, neck, and legs, he handed her the clothes and a fresh towel and returned to the closet to change and give her privacy to change as well. He was dressed in a grey shirt and black slacks. He mind-linked for breakfast and got out of the closet. She had just worn the boxers and was putting her hands through the sleeves

The sun's rays filtered through the open window, lighting up the room and waking her up. The sun was shining brightly outside, and her lids flutter opened and closed several times as her eyes adjusted to the brightness. She took a look around and discovered an empty room. The curtains were slightly parted over the open window, allowing light and fresh air in. She slid out of bed slowly, allowing her stiff muscles to adjust. She stood in front of the window, soaking in the cool autumn breeze. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, flowing in the autumn breeze and his scent that surrounded her. Her cheeks are flushed with a light pink blush as she recalls the events of the previous night. She had lost control over her mind and things happened. She sighed and entered the restroom. She took off her shirt and stepped under the showerhead. As cold water washed away every trace of s
