Taken By The Highland Wolf (The Clan MacGregor Book 2) (7 page)
"What do you mean? I am bitten..." I trailed off as the cold in my leg began to intensify and spread. "Alastair?" I asked uncertainly.
"I am sorry!" he cried through clenched teeth.
The cold grew and tore through me like the fierce bite of winter, burning me from the inside, but the very worst of it was centered in my thigh, a cold that burned so intensely that I was sure the flesh would melt from my bones and fall to earth as chunks of ice.
"Alastair!" I screamed as I clutched at him, shaking uncontrollably.
All I could feel was ice and fire as my body shook and jerked, and then the world went black.
***
I awoke to the welcome feeling of a cool cloth pressed to my forehead. I was unbearably hot and shifted uncomfortably.
"There now, love. You'll be all right now," crooned Alastair in a low, hushed voice.
I reached for him and he grasped my hand, then kissed it over and over again.
"I am very hot," I croaked. My voice was raw and hoarse, my mouth dry.
"It will pass. The fever is breaking," he reassured me.
"How long have I been like this?"
"Three days," he told me. "Your fever was much worse than I anticipated. We are so close to the full moon. I should have waited until it had passed."
"No, I am glad that we did it now. We can be together for always now."
He smiled at me, his eyes filled with love, and set the cloth aside.
"Glenna, ye mean more to me than words can ever say. I never thought the day would come when I would find the woman who completed me, and then one night there ye were. I would have gladly gone to the ends of the earth for ye if it meant that we could be together."
"I know you would have. But I love you too much to ever ask you to make that kind of sacrifice for me. Do not regret what has happened here, Alastair, please. I wanted this."
He shook his head and leaned over me, pressed a soft kiss to my lips, then rested his forehead against my own.
"I don't know which is greater, lass, the guilt I feel about the pain I've caused ye, or the guilt I feel about how joyous I've been these past three days, even as ye lay here suffering. Because I knew that ye would awaken and be mine, and that not even God in heaven could take ye from me now."
I grabbed Alastair's face in my hands and let the joy pour out of me as I kissed him. I understood his words completely, because I felt the same way. There was nothing in heaven or on earth that would be strong enough to tear us apart. A storm was coming for us, that much was certain. But we would face whatever was in store for us side by side.
