Chapter 253 - To The Temples - III



The journey was going to be longer. Apparently the temples are situated in a valley in between two mountains. Not only that but it was obvious to mention that as he reached height the colder it got. 

She ran her fingers through his hair and licked her dried lips. It was too cold. Even his fur was cold but she knew by the touch on the skin that he was warm inside. 

She shivered. 

Xavier slowed down, making Adaline raise her neck and glance forward. What was it?

He stopped and came to a complete stop and when he did, Adeline got off him. He transformed and she handed him his sweats. The lowers were the only thing he wore. 

"What is it?" She asked him. "Why did you stop?" 

He huffed and pulled her close. ", I knew You were cold but when you shivered that was my confirmation. Why did you not tell me?" 

She licked her chapped lips again and it hurt to do so. She shrugged as she shivered again. 

He tsked and took her hand, pulling fat loss he raised her up before wrapping her legs around his waist and carrying her like a little baby what she was because it really could not state her bones. 

"There is always an emergency cottage and we would be occupying it for the night." He grunted out as his eyes found a cottage and he made a beeline for it. 

He unlatched the door with his hand before pushing his side to open the door. He placed her on her feet before going over to the chair and dusting it thoroughly. Then he focused on building the fire. 

That was necessary. And it was often in the snow that the wood would get wet which is why they had some alcohol. 

He splashed it on the wood and within minutes they had a good warming fire. He turned around to see Adaline dusting and another chair instead of sitting down and occupying the one that he had trusted. 

"Here," she pointed to the chair, "you can sit too." After all, he had made enough for her. The least she could do was to the same or at least as much as she could manage to. 

He went back and dragged the chairs in front of the chair fire. She needed to sit in front of it to warm up. He took her gloves and shoes. They were directly in the fire to be heated as they were very cold. 

He could not help but feel guilty about not knowing this. It was obvious that her human body could never take such Harsh weather. 

He rubbed her hands as she raised her feet face to face of the fire but at a respectable distance. He didn\'t want her to be burned. 

Adelene looked at him as he was rubbing her hands. By the frown on his head, she knew that he was wanting to say something but held back. 

"Say it," she whispered. 

"Are you fucking child!" He exclaimed in anger as his anger burst through the limits. "Adeline I expected you to tell me if you are feeling cold or hot. Not on the verge of dying with your lips turning fucking blue." 

She looked at the fire. Tears were going to fall but she was at fault here. "I know," she whispered, "but I just thought that there might be a chance for me too. . ." She sniffed. 

He sighed and held her hands in his tightly. "Adaline, the temperatures are enough to freeze you. Please if you ever feel cold you come and tell me." He begged her. That\'s what his mate did to him. He fucking begged. "Okay?" 

She nodded with a small sniff. 

"Also, just so you know we would have to spend the night inside cottages. It is not going to be good for you if you keep on travelling at night. We would just have to travel an additional day." 

She looked at him and his eyes and face immediately soft end at the teary eyes and red reindeer nose of hers. "You won\'t mind traveling another day?" She whispered so quickly that he was thankful for his highlighted senses otherwise he knew he would message. It was almost as if she was afraid to hear the answer. 

"No, never," he answered and he stayed true to his word. 

They moved at a good pace and at night they would stay in the cottage available. He stopped in the evening when the sun would set and darkness would start to appear. He would immediately start the fire and make sure that they had enough wood. 

Then he would warm her up and eat the food that he had brought them. He appeared to be mighty fine when he would travel at night. 

It was a continuous cycle for the past two days and it was the last night they would stay because tomorrow in the afternoon they would surely reach the temples. Shee admired the courage and dedication he showed to her. 

She was staring at his side profile with the lit fire giving his skin a good golden glow. She leaned over and kissed his cheek. "Thank you." She said and Looked away shyly. 

He stiffened, not expecting it. He turns to look at her, narrowed his eyes before getting a hold of her chin and tilting her head towards him. "This is," his kissed her lips, "a kiss." 

He leaned his head back and his lips met hers. This time it was not gentle, sure it started out gentle first but slowly the passion that he had kept hidden along with the feelings he had buried inside flowed through. 

His tongue explored every inch of her mouth after so long. He touched every contour as he had always done. 

She was just as responsive making it such a huge turn on for him. He pulled back when he Heard her heartbeat pick up. She was breathless. 

"Do that next time." He told her as he placed his forehead next to hers.
