Chapter 65
Chapter Sixty-Five
Harlow
My entire body aches as I wake up. Every part of me hurts as arms slip beneath my body, lifting me. I don’t want to get up yet. I’m quite content to remain in bed all day, but that isn’t an option. I hear water running before I’m submerged, making me hiss at the sudden sting.
“There’s a council meeting today. Attending is part of the agreement, babe. We can’t miss it, or I would have let you sleep,” Rhen tells me as he sits with me in the bath.
“Where’s Thane?” I mumble, wetting my face and trying to wake up.
“Making you something to eat. Raidon is feeding Scarlett, and Leon went out to get more formula and diapers,” Rhen tells me. I nod my head, leaning back against him.
“My heat felt different this time,” I mumble.
“Yes, we know. Thane thinks his serum enhances it.”
I figured as much because, usually, the pain is excruciating. However, this felt different, more like a craving. There was more desire than pain, though that was there still. It’s just that instinct was overriding the crippling agony that usually writhes through Omegas.
“Tip your head back,” Rhen demands as I reach for the loofah.
I scoot forward between his legs and tip my head back so he can wet my hair.
His fingers massage my scalp as he lathers my head, and I begin to wash my body, knowing that if he woke me it means we need to leave for the meeting soon, which in turn, means I slept all day.
