Chapter 44

Aemon's POV.
When we returned to Busa Forest, my parents also returned from the city, where they have their own jobs and usually don't come back if they are not on vacation.
Apparently, someone told them the news that I had Vito and Bonnie locked up, and they came back just to plead for them.
"Is this the girl for whom you want to drive Vito and Bonnie, who grew up with you, out of the pack?" My father looked at Heather, who was standing behind me, with an unhappy face.
Heather's hands were shaking slightly and her head hung low, looking very nervous, as she hadn't done in a long time.
I shook her hand hard and introduced her to my father, "This is the girl I like and my Mate."
"But I'm banishing Bonnie and Vito because they broke the duel rules, they even hurt Heather with human poison, and if it weren't for Heather's recovery, I wouldn't have let them off so easily."
"Isn't it serious enough that you want to drive them out of the herd?" My father looked at me incredulously and roared, "What else do you want to do to them? How can you be so cruel? You must have been bewitched by this mermaid!"
"Your father is right, Vito and Bonnie are both kindred spirits who grew up with you, are you going to hurt them for an alien race? This is too sad, no one will obey your orders in the future." Mother also stepped forward to persuade.
"You don't have to persuade me anymore, I won't change my decision." I said coldly as I looked at them.
"Aemon, don't forget, you're not an Alpha yet, you're not qualified to make any decisions right now!" Father said with a glare.
"If you don't agree with me now, you don't have to give me this position in the future. I didn't want to be the chief anyway, you can have another child with my mother, or you can find a man you trust to inherit the position."
As I was saying these things, Heather kept tugging at me and whispering to me to stop. But I felt like I had to say these things or they would think I cared about the position and then use it to coerce me into doing something I didn't want to do.
For example, don't marry Heather.
"You bastard! Get the hell out of here!" My father casually picked up something and smashed it at me, his whole body shaking with anger.
I didn't try to dodge the blow, but I didn't expect Heather to suddenly get in front of me, causing the glass to hit her in the back of the head.
"Heather!" I exclaimed, immediately pulling her into my arms to examine her. Her scalp was very red, the skin was not bleeding, but I didn't know what was going on inside.
"How are you feeling? I'll take you to the doctor right away." I said anxiously.
"It's fine, it only hurts a little. aemon, you should apologize to your father for what you just said." Heather whispered to me, her brow furrowed slightly from the pain.
"It's not my place to apologize, Heather, he should apologize to you." I glared at my father with a fierce look in my eyes, "But I know he won't, so for now I'm going to get you out of here."
"Aemon, what kind of look is that, are you going to beat me up over this woman?" My father stared at me in disbelief with round eyes.
"I won't hit you, but if you hurt her again, I will take her away from you forever." I said in a hushed voice, pulling Heather out of the way.
After walking some distance, I noticed that Heather was struggling to walk, which slowed her pace.
"I'm sorry, Heather, I always get you hurt." I hung my head guiltily.
"I'm fine, Aemon, don't blame yourself." Heather reassured me, "All this was supposed to be something we should face together, because you're so good, that's why there are so many obstacles with you, but I think it's all worth it."
"Thank you, Heather," I said, unable to resist going up and hugging Heather tightly, my eyes burning a little.
Heather is such a kind and gentle girl! Why didn't they like her? I took Heather to the community doctor and determined that it was just a soft tissue contusion before I was finally relieved.
Although I wanted to get Heather out of here, it definitely wasn't now. In order to keep Heather in the forest for training, I decided to talk to my parents after I ate.
"Make sure you talk to them properly this time, be calm, and know that your parents do everything because they love you, even though sometimes they don't go about it the right way, but I think you can be a little more patient with them." Heather admonished me uneasily.
"I know." I wrapped my arms around Heather's waist, rested my forehead against hers, and said in a low voice, "Heather, you have no idea how good you are."
When I finished, I touched my lips to her seductive ones. Then Heather took the initiative and kissed me on her tiptoes, her thumbs pressing lightly against the knot of my throat.
The passionate kiss was over and we almost couldn't breathe.
I said in a husky voice to Heather, "Baby, you're so tempting ...... but I have to go away for a while."
"I'll come to you later." Heather whispered in my ear.
Heather is rarely this forthcoming, and I looked at her a little surprised, but finally nodded, "Okay, I'll see you later then."
No one can refuse a lady's request, let alone such a beautiful one.
My parents were much calmer without Heather following me around, and I couldn't understand why they hated Heather so much, even though Heather wasn't human anymore, and they still disapproved of us being together.
I told them about Clemm's plot, my father's face some suspicion, but this is about the survival of the community, he did not dare to make a decision easily.
Finally, by mutual agreement, I agreed that Bonnie and Vito would remain with the pack. If a big war did occur, they could redeem themselves by taking credit for it. And the parents agreed to continue to let Heather and Zoie train in the forest.
After everything was agreed upon, it was already late. After saying goodbye to my parents, I eagerly rushed to my place, expecting to see Heather when I opened the door.
Heather should have gone back, I thought with a sense of loss, and collapsed wearily into bed.
I really wanted to go to Heather, even if it was just to say good night to her, but she would have been asleep by this time. I can't help but raise the corners of my mouth when I think of Heather sleeping.
Heather was like a pink child when she fell asleep, her cheeks were flushed and she looked very well behaved.
I was getting cozy with my thoughts when there was a sudden knock on the door of my room and I immediately sat up from my bed. As I opened the door, which was still rattling, I felt my heart being knocked on as well.
"Heather! You're really here!" I opened the door and saw the person I was just pining for, and I guess my eyes must look glowing right now.
I was just so surprised.
"Aemon, would you let me in first, I'm a little under the weather." Heather whispered.
I then noticed that her condition was not right. The night temperature in the forest was a bit low, but Heather was wearing only a black camisole pajama. Her cheeks were red on both sides, as if they were burning, and her forehead was covered in sweat.
She frowned tightly, her hand still pulling at the already small amount of fabric on her chest, looking agitated.
"What's wrong with you Heather, come on in." I immediately pulled her into the room and looked at her worriedly.
"My body is so hot it's about to burn." Heather looked straight at me, her eyes as misty as if they were clouded by steaming water.
"Let me try your temperature." I pressed my forehead against hers and immediately exclaimed, "God, your temperature is higher than mine, what's going on? Is it because you got smashed this afternoon?"
Heather's body temperature was frighteningly high and her breathing so hot that if she wasn't cooled down, she might turn into a cooked fish.
Heather shook her head unconsciously and smoothly wrapped her arms around my neck and against my skin, which seemed to make her feel much better. I sat down on the edge of the bed with my arm around her and sat her on my lap to make it easier to hold her in my arms.
"You rest for a while, I'll call the ethnic group doctor right away." I was ready to go for the landline on the bedside table.
"No, don't let the others come." Heather stopped me, her hot cheek pressed against the side of my neck as she exhaled hard in my ear, her voice husky and seductive as she held back a low gasp.
"I'm in heat, Aemon, help me."
