Chapitre 235: 35. I Won't Let The Sun Go Down On Me
Adam sighed, observing the situation once again. It seemed like some progress had been made with Mimi staying in the medbay, but there were still issues. He let out another sigh and snapped his fingers.
Lepard asked, "Who is it now?"
Adam replied gruffly, "Constantine. He's furious. I'll handle Mimi. You help him back into his bed."
Mimi was still restless and attempted to make her way to the bathroom, struggling and crawling as her legs gave out. However, she had a clever plan in mind - to return to bed. Unfortunately, it wasn't her bed, and this behavior had earned her the nickname "little cuckoo." She would often kick Constantine or Dresden out of their bed, causing them to fall asleep on the floor, while she happily slept in a warm bed. This left an angry and annoyed wizard on the floor, barely conscious as their cannula was ripped off and sedation ceased.
Shaking his head, Adam went to prepare Mimi's bed and then proceeded to bring the "little cuckoo" back to her own nest. Mimi was calmer when Adam was around, as he had suspected, but her restlessness persisted. It was going to be a long recovery for everyone involved.
As Adam approached me once again, picking me up and referring to me as his "little cuckoo," he seemed quite irritated. I tried to appear innocent and sweet. I needed to use the bathroom, and it wasn't my fault that the nearest bed was occupied. I couldn't understand why my bed couldn't be closer to the bathroom. Adam was explaining something, but my feverish mind couldn't fully comprehend it.
There was probably a good reason for the arrangement, but it didn't stop me. I had to go. It was just my fever making me act out, but I wasn't particularly eager to escape. According to Adam, the last of the Salvatores had left the medbay, and they were someone I had tried to avoid. I hadn't told Adam or anyone else about Mariella's pheromones because I could sense that Adam would lose his temper if he found out what was going on.
Adam injected a sedative to knock me out before my fever broke, enabling energy cleansing.
Smiling after tucking me in, he said, "Sweetheart, you're hard to treat, but I'd rather be here than anywhere else."
I noticed Mariella walking near the door, and I knew that Adam had seen her, too.
She continuously tried to entice boys, specifically Adam, to come into the medbay and check on Wulfe and the others, even though there was no real reason for her to be there other than to have the men to herself. However, her attempts were unsuccessful. Not even Charles, who was awake but unable to use his leg, showed any interest in her. As the sedative started to take effect, I allowed myself to purr. I felt safe and loved, and I continued purring as long as I remained awake and passed out of the sound of my own purring.
After Mimi's lovely purring had ceased, Adam stroked her for a few minutes and then gave her fever medicine and cleansed her with energy.
Adam then said to the boys, "Alright, let's try moving her a little closer to the bathroom and changing her and Constantine so that she may end up in the right bed next time."
They rearranged beds, attempting to find the best way possible. However, the wizards had their own problems, and Adam tried his best to keep them calm, not wanting them near the door. He wondered if this plan would work because it was more unsettling to have Mimi do her thing than to have the wizards near the doorway, listening to the pack walking. They were fighting against the effects of the drugs, so Adam considered giving them earplugs if the need arose. He was also tired, but not too badly, and he planned to go to the kitchen soon to eat after he had checked on each of his patients.
He knew that he shouldn't be disappointed with the Salvatores, but he couldn't help it. No one was even cooking, and Mariella's flimsy excuse was that she, along with the wolves, Elena, and Katherine, were needed to help the Salvatores unload their rage and need for revenge in order to restore some peace to the pack.
But Adam knew, deep in his heart, what they were truly waiting for, and it felt incredibly cruel. They were simply waiting for Mimi to recover fully so she could leave the medbay, and then they would announce their time in the Azores. As summer transitioned into fall, it might mean spending another Christmas in the Azores or Ireland.
This time, Adam had made up his mind that he would not go there. He would let those fuckers have their merry little Christmas if that was what they chose. Mimi needed a lot more time to fully recover, and it would be incredibly cruel to get her to a mere 40 kilos and then abandon her.
Adam was seething with anger a few hours later when he entered the empty kitchen. As he switched on the harsh light, he started to form a little idea in his mind. Mimi needed time and care, and he knew that the group of fuckers he despised wouldn't give it to her. But he could. And maybe, just maybe, it could help others too. Wulfe had fallen into a coma due to the reversed poisoning, and there was no telling when he would wake up. But Adam would make sure he got the time he needed as well. The best part was that those people wouldn't have a clue.
After finishing his meal, Adam prepared more food. He was going to have plenty of reserves, which would be perfect for his plan. He decided to start with the other medbay room, putting the wizards there to recover. Then it would be time to heal.
Four hours later, as Adam walked into the medbay, he noticed that Mimi's bed was empty again. He sighed, but it didn't matter. He had explained his plan to the boys, and they were preparing for it. They were connecting the other medbay room. Soon, the wizards would be moved there.
Samuel had promised to come and care for them after Adam called and explained the situation. Although Samuel was also furious, he supported Adam's plan and gave it his blessing. He even promised to bring Bran, who was still extremely angry. However, Tim, Taylor, Alaric, and maybe even Murdock and Dexter would keep him occupied. Adam wasn't sure if Murdock and Dexter would want to be part of his plan, though.
Adam scanned the room to see where Mimi was. Both wizards were in their beds, as were Magnum and Charles. Then he saw movement in Wulfe's bed. He walked closer and was surprised to find Wulfe awake, holding Mimi next to him. She was curled up, sound asleep.
In a quiet voice, Wulfe said, "Let her be. I need her near me. It helps both of us. Remember, she is a creature of love, constantly seeking it."
Adam nodded and replied, "She will find it. Soon, we will move to another realm where time passes faster. So, one hour here will be like a day there. We will have time to get you all back on your feet and healthy, and those damn sex-hungry cunts won't have a clue. I'm so fed up with them!"
Wulfe nodded, tired and sore, but something had awakened him. As he finally opened his eyes, he saw Mimi sleeping next to him, seeking safety and love, and he had given it to her.
It wasn't easy for an old creature like Wulfe, a vampire wizard over 2500 years old, to be at the bottom of the bed, weak and feeble, relying on others. But he had his unicorn, Mimi, next to him. This lovely creature, who sometimes looked like a girl, was his savior, just as he was hers. Using his telepathy, he would ease her restlessness and fears, providing her with a sense of safety and a lot of love.
God, he loved her so much, and he was certain that one day he would be able to physically show his love for her. It wasn't the first thing on his mind, but it was something he desired. He wanted to have her fully as his own.
Wulfe smiled in the medbay's dimness. He may have looked like a teenage boy, and Mimi sometimes appeared very young, so they were like a real-life Romeo and Juliet, except their love story wouldn't end in tragedy. Their love was long-lasting, and they had no rush. He knew he would never ignite the same fiery passion in Mimi as Damon did, but they were meant to be together, like forces of nature. When Mimi and Damon collided, sparks would fly.
As for his and Mimi's love, it was a warm, steady flame that warmed his old, cold heart. And their future looked just as lovely as it had ever been. When Wulfe held Mimi in his arms and felt her frail body, there was no need for revenge, only care and love.
Charles looked at Wulfe and saw such genuine love on his face that he couldn't help but smile. He knew Mimi could do it. He, too, remembered what it felt like to experience that incredible love for the first time, to feel her love for him. It was truly amazing. Adam's suggestion was perfect. It would give them over five months with Mimi, and it would only be a week on this side. Oh, Charles couldn't wait to see Mariella's face when they returned, Mimi and him, in full health and full of life. Mariella wouldn't be able to handle Mimi's spunk and sass.
Somehow Charles sensed it, and oh my god, it would be perfect. To see the faces of the Salvatores and Mariella when Mimi would be Mimi, this new version of herself who wouldn't always play nice. Charles had wanted this for a long time, and it would be a good place for him and Mimi to have an old-fashioned recovery. And who knows, maybe someone would give it to her.
And if they wanted, they could always return here for a few hours, giving the boys time to be with her, or Magnum and Wulfe, and the venerable pack leader would have no fucking idea what was going on.
Charles was an energy creature, a wizard. There wasn't much difference between him and Damon. He was as old as Damon. Both of them loved Mimi, or so it seemed. Charles wanted to be with Mimi, not Damon. But did he truly love her? Or was it more about possessing and owning her rather than genuinely loving her? Was it just lust and infatuation that drove them to engage in sex and lust filled activities?
One thing Charles was certain of was that, despite his strong lust and extensive history with women, he was different when it came to Mimi. He truly loved her. Despite being Mariella's protector, he knew he was also Mimi's protector. Adam had shared his theory about being a protector for those whom you truly love when necessary, and Charles had no doubt about it. He and Adam had been Mimi's protectors even more than Damon over the years.
I woke up with a vague memory of being next to Wulfe, feeling his grip on me, almost as if he was crying when he realized I was beside him. However, I couldn't be entirely sure.
I opened my eyes, and the first thought that came to my mind was, "No, it can't be. Those curtains are burned, and my nightstands..."
I was in my original downstairs bedroom in Chicago, lying in my own bed, and it felt incredibly real.
Then, I felt someone touching me. I noticed Wulfe was sleeping next to me, his arm wrapped around me as he shifted slightly in his sleep. There was someone behind me, their warm breath caressing my neck. The weight on my legs indicated that someone was in their animal form as well. It was dark, and my eyes were crusty from sleep. Taking a deep breath, and smelling the air, I realized that the boys - Damon and Lepard - were entities in my legs, while Wulfe was here with me. Magnum was behind me, and I could also smell Adam and Charles.
It was warm, but not uncomfortably hot. This was our nest, not an official one, but a nest nonetheless. We were all here, healing and recovering. I had no idea where we were or how long we had been here, but this was where I wanted to be - safe, loved, in my own freaking room.
I made a promise to myself that one day, I would have this very room, in one of my luxurious mansions, castle, or manor all to myself. I planned to ask Adam to build it for me since he was the one who made the original one. Although I was still quite tired, I didn't feel as sick as before.
Wulfe held me close, burying his face in my neck, while Magnum shifted behind me. I noticed Adam standing behind Wulfe, so I found myself in the center of this group. The boys purred at my feet, and Lepard stretched himself so his massive head rested on my hip. I stroked his silky ears before falling back asleep.
The next time I woke up, I was alone in the room, or whatever it was, and it was daytime. I stretched myself, not minding that I had no clothes on, just a sheet covering me.
A voice from the doorway said, "My mate, you know, that was one damn good seduction."
Colin's eyes were filled with something as he looked at my exposed body. He told me, "We are in a different realm where time flows differently, and the orgy group does not know what's going on. Adam, Murdock, Dexter, and the boys went back to eat and will be back soon. But for now, they've told me how you're supposed to be physically trained. Magnum, Wulfe, and Charles are working together, so I'm free to give you something."
He walked in, yanked the sheet off me, and said, "That is useless, my love. Are you ready to meet the anaconda?" He was taking his clothes off, pretty fast too.
I smiled, bit my lip, and replied, "Fine, I'm always ready."
His smile became a little more mischievous as he crawled into bed, came on top of me, and pressed me down with his muscular body. He grabbed my thigh, pulling it apart, and I felt his enormous cock, the anaconda, plunging into my wet and willing pussy with one forceful stroke. His lips claimed mine in a passionate kiss that lit up my heart and ignited many other sensations within me.
I had no idea how long we had been passionately entangled, like wild beasts in heat, when Charles, Adam, and Magnum joined us in bed. Colin left briefly to eat and take care of something, but these three kept me incredibly occupied. I knew Wulfe did not want to be one of many; he was patiently waiting for his private time whenever that might be. Each of these three, including Magnum, filled me time after time.
Magnum even commented, "You have no idea how many times we've made thankful of the bump for you already. And now I finally get to give it to you where it belongs."
I replied, teasingly, "Don't brag too much when Mariella is around. She might get jealous."
Magnum grunted, kissed me, and said, "Let her be jealous. You're the only one I've done this for. Not her or the others."
Adam reassured me, saying, "Don't worry. We've made sure your feeding gland hasn't activated. Our contribution will nourish you. I've donated enough tanks to have quite a reserve for the future."
I nodded and said, "You know, Mariella drinks this stuff, too."
Charles responded gruffly, "Let her get it from Salvatore's cocks. We'll keep our tanks hidden for now. It'll be different once this jealousy drama is over."
I smiled, feeling their love not only physically but also spiritually and mentally. Oh my God, I had a plan for when we returned to the pack. We had time on our side, and, of course, we indulged in lots of sex. Wulfe wasn't part of it, but he occasionally visited the pack to see what it was all about. At first, he didn't believe it, but I was determined to show him.
As our fitness improved, so did Wulfe's, Charles's, Colin's, and Magnum's. We ate, talked, and bonded. Adam and Charles were great company too, and we had fun discussing various topics.
We were sitting in the living room of the original Chicago house. I sat in my chair, feeling happy that we had this house. It was something very important to me, and despite my memory, having it around brought me a sense of calm that I hadn't felt in a long time.
I said out loud, "Even though this house is destroyed, it still lives here, and I am incredibly happy about it. Somehow, I knew that if this house had existed, Mariella would have ruined it. I don't know why, but I had that feeling from the very beginning."
Wulfe looked at me and said, "You know, I used to watch you. I would see the light in your bedroom, and somehow, I wanted to have a life with you. I don't know if it was just my abilities giving me this possibility or fate, but I wanted it so badly. I felt so lonely and like an outsider. But not anymore."
Charles looked at Wulfe and said, "I understand. Every time I saved Mimi, every time I had to walk away, something inside me screamed not to let her be at Bran's or Damon's mercy. But I didn't listen until I had to."
I said, "You guys tell me I'm selfish, and yet everyone is talking about me. I'm not asking for it, but I seem to be the center of attention."
Wulfe said, "You are and you aren't. But know this, my unicorn, you are the very center of my universe. I'm not being overly romantic, but realistic. I need you like oxygen. When I have you next to me, I start to heal."
Adam said, "I know what you mean. She has told you how we originally escaped, and just the thought of her dying on that ship caused such agony in my soul that losing Mercy felt like child's play compared to that."
I shook my head, smiling slightly, and said to Adam, "I have no idea where I would be without you. You are my savior, my original, and perhaps my truest protector."
Magnum said, "Oh, are we starting this mushy sentence game again?"
I smiled and told them what would happen once we entered the pack.
I had my plan, and my part of the pack was all with me—Lepard and Demon, too. But we still had some time to spend here. We had been here for only three months, and we had just over two months left. After that, only a week would remain on that side. Oh, perfect! I would be in excellent condition to let my thoughts flow. No more pretending to be nice; I was done with that.
Once again, I remembered my original attitude: "Do not obey Damon!" It was incredibly contagious. We had a lively discussion and speculated on what that troublesome group might do. Taylor, Tim, Murdock, Alaric, and Dexter were all here too, and we had a little betting pool going on about what would happen next. And also in where they would be fucking. It would be one fun thing to try to see where they were fucking so we could go and disturb them.
