Wanted: Matchmaker for the Alpha

Chapter 11: Fever Down

Gwy's POV

I had no choice but to carry Devon to the tiled floor.

He was still trembling in so much pain. I abruptly wiped his whole body. As the drips of water from his body disappeared, so as the flames that surrounded him. But that didn't even mend his suffering. He was still gnashing his teeth in terror.

I sobbed while drying him up. "This is all my fault! Devon... I'm so sorry!"

"W-what did you do to me?" he asked, still in pain.

"It's my fault! I will let you punish me after this. But please let me help you..."

"G-Gwy..." He held my shoulder while trembling. "Damn you!"

"I'll help you, I promise! But we need to go to your room now."

"What will you do? Are you going to kill me?"

I shook my head. "No! I won't. Please, if I don't put you in your room, everyone will see you in this state!"

"H-how can I trust you?" Devon grunted in pain as the invisible flame engulfed his whole body.

"I will take it away. I know a way."

"T-tell me... f*****g tell me!"

I closed my eyes and quickly gave him a peck on his lips. That brief close contact was the rarest thing I had ever done in my entire life.

I've never dared to kiss a man before. But this ruthless and sexist alpha was my first.

I opened my eyes and saw the little relief my kiss gave him. Right at that moment, I knew he was aware of what I was trying to offer for his release from the Flames Spell.

I quickly covered him with his red-brown cloak and carried him secretly back to his room. As I reached the room, I put him to bed and closed the door.

"D-Devon, are you alright? I'm really, really sorry!" I cried. I hugged him so tight but it was no use.

"For crying out loud, Gwy! You will not save him from the Flames Spell with that. You need to pleasure him," Grace remarked.

"How do I do that, Grace? Please help me!"

"Oh, you know what I'm talking about, Gwy. You can do it. Just be natural," she said then quickly blocked me.

"s**t! I can't believe I'm doing this..." I looked at the suffering image of Devon on the bed.

I crawled on top of him and saw how much he was trying to endure.

"K-kiss me..." he whispered.

"Devon..."

"Just kiss me, priestess. At least it will bring me a little relief..."

After looking at him so boldly, I decided to close my eyes and close the gap between our lips.

Finally, I felt his soft lips against mine. His shiver began to subside as he moved his lips, leading and teaching me how to pleasure him right.

I heard him moan a little then his hands traveled to my back.

I finally lost it. I deepened the kiss. I found myself so enchanted by his passionate kisses. He caressed me like I was the most fragile thing he ever cared for.

"M-mate!" Grace growled. "Oh, my mate!"

"G-Grace? What did you say?"

"You are right, Gwy. This alpha is our mate. I can feel it. You have to pleasure him more!" Grace eagerly shouted.

I was taken aback by her words and stopped kissing him. I looked at him so surprised. "Y-you're..."

"Damn, priestess. Don't stop. Just kiss me..." He pulled me and torridly kissed me. His strong arm pulled me closer to his body.

I could feel his bulging erect between my thighs. That earned a deep hoarse moan from him.

It felt so good hearing him moan.

He put my hand to his hard bulge. "Do me. Please..." It was my first time hearing him plead.

I was bewitched. I knew I was doing this just to save him but it turns out that I was beginning to like this.

I massaged his bulging erect with his trunks on earning another loud moan from him.

"Oh, f**k! Your hands are so cold..."

I continued doing it until he started to get back to normal. His skin became more perspired and fair. When he finally reached the c****x, I finally saw the Flames Spell getting worn off so quickly.

I suddenly got my hand off his crotch. I sat on the bedside and lowered my gaze. When I looked at him, he was already asleep.

I looked at his tired but beautiful face. I didn't know he was so radiant until now.

"I can't believe this... so the dark pixie was telling us the truth? Alpha Devon is our mate?" Grace asked in disbelief.

"I don't know, Grace. I still need answers. We've been Solus Lupus our whole life but now, I don't think I'll be able to understand everything that is happening. We're born to be mateless, but how can I be his mate?"

I watched Devon fall asleep. I wiped a towel with warm water on his skin. After that, I returned to my room and tried to sleep. But I failed miserably.

I kept staring at the ceiling and contemplated my situation.

I was so sure that I cast the right spell but why can't I control it lately? Could it be possible that I'm losing my power?

I shook my head. "No. That's impossible. I don't think it's like that..."

Suddenly the thought of Devon moaning against my touch came haunting my mind. That passionate kiss and how he reached a c****x with just a simple rub. I quickly slapped my cheeks.

"Damn! I'm going crazy right now... Erase that!"

Grace chuckled. "You're so affected by him, Gwy. I can't wait for him to mark us!" she chimed.

I scoffed. "Oh, please! You were so displeased with him like 18 hours ago. And now you want him for us?" I clicked my tongue. "No way! Besides, we're still figuring out what happened and how was it possible for us to feel our connection with him through that close encounter. It's impossible! I still can't accept this. We're born mateless. And if we continue to be like this, we are likely to lose our power!" I carefully explained.

"So, what do we do now?"

"Never forget that Devon chose us for his selfish reasons. It's not because he felt the same way about us. He forced me here in his pack to only carry his heir in my womb. Not because he loves me..." That thought somehow put my heart into a painful ricochet.

I decided to sleep after that.

Suddenly, I heard someone. It was so distant that I couldn't understand what she was saying. I heard laughter and the sound of the bell. Then, it was followed by a shrill cry. It was a terror shrill that cried for vengeance. I knew exactly what the curse was. It was so horrible that I couldn't stand the sound.

I breathed deeply. I was chanting but my voice was overpowered by that cry.

"Go back!" I shouted. Then, I woke up just like that.

I was catching my breath. My heart was pounding erratically. It's the same dream again, but it seemed to be longer than the previous ones. I shut my eyes and composed myself. When I opened my eyes, Devon's handsome face greeted me.

"You're finally awake... my Luna..."

"D-Devon? What are you doing here? Are you feeling okay?" I worriedly asked.

"I'm fine." He smirked, "That was one hell of an experience. I underestimated you."

I looked away feeling so guilty. "I'm sorry. I was just afraid that you might hurt me..."

He cupped my chin and looked at me in the eye. He, then, smiled mischievously. "Why would I hurt my chosen mate? You're as important to me as my title. If not for your presence, I would be ousted."

"Why would your father do that to you? What's his reason?"

He grimaced. "Because he still could. It's the norm in Black Dew Pack. The former Alpha can take back the title from his successor if he fails to find his mate," he revealed.

I opened my mouth but I am lost for words. That's why he was too desperate to have a mate.

"You're probably asking why you?"

I waited for his next words as I listened to him.

"It has to be you. Because I knew you're mateless. Less hassle because you don't have anyone who will take you as his mate. So if I leave you after I get what I want, we will not have hard feelings for each other..."

I blinked. I should be relieved. But why does my heart ache so much?
