Bab 396: [Bonus chapter] Luscious

When Ileus reached Kaizan's room, he bolted it from inside and then pried her everywhere to see if she was fine or if her skin was burnt. The creature was ferocious and Ileus' heart was beating like a wild horse. "Natsya, are you fine?" he asked repeatedly. His eyebrows were drawn together and his muscles were strained. 

"I am fine darling," she said as she cupped his cheeks. "Look at me Aly. Look at me." 

Ileus lifted his face to her with a pained gaze. His mouth was dry and he licked his lips as he ran his fingers in his hair. "I failed to protect you again," he murmured. 

"Stop blaming yourself for every situation in the world," she said and pressed a kiss on his lips. 

When she pulled away, he said, "I should have come to you instead of discussing the design with Rolfe. I would have killed the beast before it entered your room. And how the hell did it come in there?" He was not able to calm down.
