My Most Precious Human

Draven finally made me feel more comfortable by putting on a pair of sweatpants he had in a training locker. I could handle him being shirtless, and I didn't insist he wore a shirt without patching the nasty cut I gave him on the nape of his neck.

"I'm sorry," I said for the millionth time.

"Stop it, Lilith." Draven frowned. "I didn't go easy on you either, and it's good. Besides, I heal fast," he claimed with a sly smirk on his face and messaged poor Melinda to come over and patch us up.

I had to admit that the bite Draven gave me hurt like hell. I limped over to the wall and leaned against it while waiting for the painkillers. Although the parts of my flesh stabbed by his teeth were already regenerating, I could only feel that the pain was getting worse. Draven stepped towards me and placed his hand on my forehead.

"You're getting feverish. That is my fault," he smiled apologetically.

"Now you're apologizing?" I chuckled, slightly shivering over the rising body temperature.

"I should have considered that you are a human… and I kind of treated you like you were a wolf," he explained, lowering his gaze.

"What do you mean?" I asked, trying to smile as if I was telling him that I was fine.

"The Alpha's bite is different than the other wolves' bites." His concerned tone made me nervous. He kept looking at my torn leggings and the healing bite wound, his eyes restlessly going from the wound to my face and back.

I knew why he had become anxious: the Alpha's bite could turn any non-supernatural into a werewolf. He must have known that it was impossible in my case, but he couldn't have known what kind of consequences his bite was going to have on my body.

"I'm not going to turn into a wolf. You know that I can't," I assured him, stretching my lips into a feeble smile.

"I know that you are immune to that, but I can see that you are suffering." Ninety percent of his face was covered in guilt.

"Well... compared to Brick's bite... this one hurt like fuck," I snorted, hoping that making fun of the situation would alleviate my pain.

I could barely stand on my feet. At one moment, I felt I was going to fall, but Draven stepped in and held out his arms to support me.
