The mountain lion bared its teeth inside him, letting out another angry growl.

That part of him did not partake in the sexual intimacy, Wolfaraine knows he has to do something to calm the cougar's turbulent anger and rage, so it doesn't start affecting him physically.

A knock came at the door, interrupting his thoughts.

"Come in."

He heard the door open and close. The scent of the leopard alpha filled the air, Wolfaraine did not bother to turn.

"The council has all assembled, Alpha King. They are waiting in the Meeting Hall." Degar informed him.

"I will join them later, right now I have to go for a run."

"Oh?" His confusion was apparent in his tone and face.

Wolfaraine heard Degar's unspoken questions. Why would he need the calmness of running the wilds when he just had sex the night before?

He didn't bother clearing the leopard alpha's confusion. "How is Alphose?" He asked instead.

"Harhan came over to attend to him in the morning. Mirian made sure he ate something before the sleeping portion she gave him got to him."

"What about Eline? Did she...visit?" Alphose needs sex to heal as much as he needs Harhan's treatments.

"Yes, Alpha King. Harhan said she did."

That made him feel better where the young woman is concerned. He hasn't forgotten that she'd taken Ismena half-naked to club the night before.

Just the reminder of what happened in that club had him gnawing his teeth.

He really needed to go for that run.

With one last glance at her, he turned and walked out of the bedchambers, leaving Degar to follow behind him.

Ismena's eyes opened.

Without moving an inch, she took in her strange environment. The events of the night before crashed through her head, making a smile split through her lips. A bright wide smile.

She'd really gone and done it, didn't she. Damn, she can't believe she had sex with Wolfaraine!

And, she felt...great.

Her eyes widened as she examined her heart mentally. God, she felt so great.

All the usual pains that wake up with her were gone, and her breathing wasn't hurting and erratic. She doesn't feel a single pain in her chest.

Wow. Just wow.

Does it mean she wouldn't be dying in the next few weeks?

Does it mean she'll live longer!?

Is herheart healing!?

"Oh my God!!!" She shrieked happily. That must be what it means, if not she wasn't supposed to feel this good, especially not after the strain, she'd put on her heart the night before.

Memories of the way it was filled her head. The feel of his dick inside her... Moving in her... His groans in her ear... His hand stroking all over her body.

Her body went warm all over. Damn. Double damn.
