How was your heat?

Karina

Astor's cabin is so full of things that it's scary. Every time Klaus leans over or turns slightly, it feels like my feet are going to hit a lamp or a bunch of dried plants hanging from the ceiling.
It has armchairs, some wooden furniture and a radio for communication, however, many of the objects it keeps seem to have been made right here, probably by the former resident Zeva, and are scattered around in disarray.
Klaus puts me on what looks like a bed, as it has a sheet and pillow, but I don't know what kind of mattress it is, it's very strange and hard.
Astor takes a wooden stool to sit next to me, which forces the other Persian to move away, even though he obviously doesn't like it, he said. Klaus' tail keeps hitting objects from side to side and this increases my anxiety even more.
— How was your heat? — the healer asks and I don’t
I can answer. His eyes are a very serious reddish brown, and combined with his horns that are bigger than Klaus's and the strangeness of the smell of this place, I feel terrified.
— We didn't have heat, we only found out that she was pregnant from Rorani in our wrists — explains for me and Astor nods.
He's wearing cargo shorts that look really old to me and a tank top that's wet with sweat because it's an oven in here and there's still something boiling on a small stove. The healer's reddish-brown hair appears to be a little long, but it is tied into a tight bun that hides it.
— There's always heat, yours must have been quieter than yours. common. Have you noticed any difference in your behavior? Did his scent attract you? Did she like bites? — he continues asking me, looking at me with his penetrating irises.
Meanwhile, Klaus stands behind him, not even blinking either. Ever since he saw Astor the male had tensed, I could feel as he carried me how he was barely breathing.
— Yes. — I shake my head, even if embarrassed. — I liked when he touched me and the smell... sometimes I didn't even understand why I liked it when he was territorial — I murmur, wanting to see it as a doctor's appointment.
— I got angrier too, I had a fit of rage when someone male disrespected her — Klaus informs, remembering when he threw Wesley into a pillar.
The second the black line appeared on my arm, I thought it was a mistake. However, now that the child is inside me, I feel that I must protect him from this strange world in which the Persians live. And I don't mean to admit it out loud, but the way Klaus talks about this “puppy” makes me really excited to meet him.
— Heat is our bodies’ way of ensuring the continuity of our species, then he will do everything so that the individuals preserve their relationship until fertilization is complete. That's why it makes partners excited, causes aggression and the need for protection.
—So none of what I felt for him was real? — I frown and Klaus He opens his eyes wide, seeming to suddenly panic. — I mean… heat affects everything, right? Even how I feel now?
What if I'm not really in love with Klaus? What if it's just a matter of time before the feelings disappear?
Thinking about it makes me sick.
— It was real, just a little magnified, and now the heat is over because you are pregnant, so with it this expansion of feelings also goes away and later what you call pregnancy hormones come in.
— His words bring such relief back to the other male's face that it's even a little comical to see, even though it shouldn't be. — In your case, as it was a lighter and quieter heat, these reactions were probably just the chemistry between the two of you. Persians tend to be popular among females, even human ones.
Astor gives a small laugh, which is low and which I certainly would have found sensual a while ago. But not now, now my body only responds to Klaus' asshole.
— You guys smell like mating, so you're going to want to keep the one.
puppy, right? — He places his hands on his knees, as if he were a little uncomfortable that no one found his joke funny.
Unfortunately I'm in too bad of a situation to try to joke about how Klaus affects me.
—What does it mean to be mated? — I ask, since all this is very new.
— Well… — He scratches his head, without waiting for my question. - AND like a human marriage, only ours happens when the couple exchanges blood. You drink his and he drinks yours, this makes the smells of your bodies change little by little, and there has to be a ceremony too.
— We didn't do any ceremonies, so we're not mated. — I shrug, with very conflicting feelings inside me.
The Karina of a few days ago would have loved this story, but the Karina of now needs to be aware and not be sad about not being linked to a man who had a psychopathic plan for her.
— The part about drinking each other's blood constantly can already be done.
mean mating, even without the ceremony — Klaus explains to me and doesn't even have the decency to look guilty.
- What?! — I exclaim, very angry that he did something so serious.
behind my back.
— If you don't want it, it can be undone, don't worry. — The healer try to appease me. — Just keep your distance and don't drink each other's blood...
— Let's think about it later, I need you to examine my female now — Klaus interrupts Astor in a very rude way and I give him a dirty look.
Since he came to ask for help from someone else and this guy seems to understand so much Persian, he shouldn't be rude.
— I'll need to see her belly... — The healer scratches his neck, obviously uncomfortable.
His sentence makes Klaus growl softly, which doesn't make any sense. How does he expect Astor to do anything if he can't even see my belly?
— You can examine it — I say and I lift the shirt up to the limit of where it is located.
My breasts start, which gets another growl from the possessive male, but Astor looks at me with a clinical look and after being naked for all those men in the club, this is a done deal.
— There are marks on your rib, what happened here?
— I fell from the roof into a swimming pool while Klaus was fighting with… — She fell from a height of between fifteen and twenty meters into a swimming pool and we think her organs may have detached, but I didn't want to take her to a human doctor — Klaus interrupts my sentence in the middle of the sentence and I want to kill him. — I gave her a lot of my blood to drink, which made her improve very quickly.
—Her blood must be very powerful, because she doesn't look like someone who fell from a roof — he murmurs and strokes his beard, thoughtfully.
Astor spends time making me move my arms, legs and neck, but he doesn't use any equipment, he just makes me move and listens in silence.
— I don't hear any broken bones and you smell healthy, maybe just a little weak. — Your assessment is so quick that it leaves my jaw dropping. — Why didn't you stay in town and see a healer there? And what kind of fight on the roof was that? Should I examine you too? — He addresses Klaus.
— You don't need to examine me, I'm fine. — Once again he is harsh and I I do not understand why.
— Can I get really close to your belly? Maybe I can already hear the puppy's heart — he says and my eyes widen.
- So fast? It's been a short time since we started having relationships. To me, this baby was just a tiny clump of cells.
— Our pregnancies are different, they don’t last more than five months.
— I understand... — I bite my lower lip, getting nervous. - He can listen then.
Astor kneels at my feet and places his pointed ear against my belly, which makes me feel ashamed and a little uncomfortable for having a stranger so close.
Klaus doesn't growl this time, but he has a really big grimace of disgust as he looks away from me and the healer, as if he might vomit at any moment. However, I don't care about his possessiveness, which was of no use when he put together his damn agreement and made me sign it.
— It's beating now — he announces and my mouth goes dry. — It seems a lot to me
fast and healthy, but let's wait for Klaus' excess blood to leave his system so I can taste yours and know exactly how the pup is doing.
I'm in shock as the healer sits back down. There's a life inside me, a life with a tail and two horns, probably. This is surreal and the thing I wanted most is to be able to have my mother and Oliver by my side to share the news. I'd also like to talk to someone outside of all this Persian madness, to find out if there's something wrong with me for accepting this puppy thing.
— So everything will be okay? — I question, just to be sure.
— Yes, Persian blood works miracles. — Astor smiles at me, wanting to calm down, and I make an effort to smile back. He seems like a very nice man. — Do you want to hear the heartbeat too, Klaus?
— I've heard from afar... — He shrugs, with his eyes fixed on the others cabin things, like he doesn't even care what's going on.
But Astor still gets up from the stool and walks away, so the other is free to come to me.
— Listen to your puppy — he offers again and it even seems that the puppy’s eyes Moreno suddenly fills with water, but he blinks the moisture away and clears his throat with a clear throat.
Is Klaus emotional about the moment?
- I can? — he asks me with an almost choked voice and I don’t I can't even speak, my throat feels so tight. I just give a short nod of my head.
I hold my breath as he kneels and his face gets closer, and before anything else, Klaus leaves a kiss on my belly that makes me shiver, it's so light and affectionate. Then he puts his head to the side and presses his ear to my skin.
— Are you listening? I ask curiously, my face heating up.
of shame.
— Yes, the heart beats really fast, it’s very beautiful — he responds.
hoarse.
— Puppies are like that — she explains and I'm so mesmerized that Klaus is glued to me, that I can't even prepare myself for Astor's next words. — As you are a Dark Elf, you should already know that Dante is here on the island.
— Dante is here?! — The Persians come apart at once and how are they? At my height, I'm able to see the exact moment his eyes start to light up yellow. — Is he still taking Nyn?
— Yes, the male is going through a difficult time, but you are not
They need to worry about the aggressiveness he has been showing. I'm helping with rehabilitation. However, it's good that you don't walk alone through these lands, unfortunately our people are very territorial and as you are human, you wouldn't know how to get around the situation.
— Okay — I accept your advice, without wanting to run into a male crazy out there.
— And keep carrying it around, Klaus, we'll try to keep your time rest as much as possible while your blood is purified so that I can have better success in the analysis.
I don't like this recommendation, but not the opposite, since he accepted me into his small cabin, and I accept the small bottle of tea he gives me, to increase my immunity and help with my recovery.
—You are Niflin's brother, right? — Klaus asks when we are already outside the little house, and I widen my eyes, instantly understanding why he interrupted my explanation about the fight on the roof. The brunette wasn't waiting for Astor but for Zeva, which is why he must have been so tense, however, there was no way he could tell me beforehand without causing suspicion.
— Yes, half brothers, actually.
On my mother's side? — investigates the man holding me and I am very apprehensive about the answer. This could be another brother of Klaus. — Yes, same mother, different fathers — he explains and causes great relief. He and Klaus are not related. — Have you seen my brother often?
Klaus took a big risk coming into the cabin with me, Astor could find out about Niflin's murder and do something bad for revenge, even if his brother was wrong.
— No, I haven't seen him for a while — he says with a straight face.
I understood. — I can't say whether Astor swallowed the answer or not, never I was one of the best at identifying a lie and Klaus is living proof of that. — Since you two are mated, you must want to stay together at home, otherwise I would tell Karina to stay here so I can take care of her, test her blood every day.
— Karina will come with me to the house and you can come visit us every day, I I pay well.
— Your money doesn't have the same value here, Dark Elf — he warns from a
fiercer way that leaves me scared. I really hope Klaus doesn't pick a fight with this guy.
— My money can still get you all kinds of weird paraphernalia you need,” he responds, Astor growls and I feel like the idiot holding me is about to fuck everything up.
— Can you come visit me for at least the first week, please?
Then, when I can walk better, I promise to come here and help you with whatever you need. — I do my best to sound friendly and polite. — I just… I've never had a puppy, it would be nice to have someone who knows more about it.
The male looks at me for a few seconds, considering my request, but then nods, without looking at Klaus.
