My Name is NOT Cupcake

Chapter 24

I didn't see Elias for the next two weeks. I didn't know if I was happy or upset by that fact. I could hear

him every once and a while outside my door, but he never came in. Taylor came to check on me every

day, but besides that, no one bothered me.

I woke up with a jolt. Something was wrong. Taylor entered the room with my breakfast and set it on my

bedside table like he always did. A sort of bubbling burn started in my stomach, making me

uncomfortable. I placed a hand over my stomach as the burning spread. I coughed uncomfortably and NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

shifted in the bed. Taylor covered his nose and backed up quickly.

"Shit," he said loudly. I was uncomfortable and confused. I looked at him before I groaned. The fire was

slowly spreading through my body, making me sweat.

"Taylor," I groaned. I had no idea what was happening. Elias burst through the door growling. Minnie

was following close behind him. She pulled his arm and Taylor blocked Elias' path. He was growling

and fighting, but his eyes were on me the entire time. I groaned and arched against the bed as the fire

coursed through my veins. I wanted something to douse the fire and I knew what it was.

Elias.

I wanted him to touch me and bury me underneath him, but at the same time, my brain was telling me

that it was wrong... that I should hate him... that I should be repulsed by him, but I wasn't. I wanted

him... I needed him.

"Elias," I moaned. I wanted to take it back. It was like I wasn't in control of my body. I was just watching

from the distance. I wanted to stop myself, but the fire was controlling me. Elias was fighting against

Taylor and Minnie. A few more people showed up to restrain him. I didn't even know what was going

on.

"Minnie, get her out of here now!" Taylor growled at his mate. She picked me up off the bed. Her touch

burned me. I yelled and tried to push away from her. "Minnie!" Taylor yelled. I fell onto the bed and

moaned for Elias again.

"I can't. It's hurting her," she snapped back in a panic.

"Elias, no!" Taylor yelled. Next thing I knew, Elias was touching me. His lips were on my neck and his

body covered mine. I sighed in relief and found myself running my hands up his chest and onto his

shoulders. His touch was dousing my fire. My body was slowly cooling off with his help, but my brain

was still foggy. After a moment, he was ripped from me and the fire began again. I whimpered and

called for Elias again. I needed him. Minnie scooped me up again.

"Get her out of here!" Taylor yelled again. Minnie's touch burned me, but there was a wind and then

darkness. Minnie was running, I realized. We came up to a cabin deep in the woods.

"Elias... where's Elias?" I asked, in pain. Minnie sighed and disappeared for a second. She came back

and began stripping my clothes off of me. Her touch burned but I was more preoccupied with where I

was and how far away Elias was. She carried me into the bathroom and set me in the tub. The water

was freezing. I immediately tried to hop out but Minnie held me down.

"No, no, Nova. Stay. It'll cool off your heat some," she said. I whimpered as the icy water covered my

body, creating goosebumps. I wanted Elias. I needed Elias. Him touching me earlier only proved that.

"I want Elias," I whined. Minnie sighed and pushed my hair out of my face.

"No, you don't, or you wouldn't if you weren't in heat. If you mate with Elias out of heat, you'll regret it.

You're guaranteed to get pregnant and you'll always resent him. You won't forgive him... or yourself,"

she said with a sigh. I calmed a bit as the water cooled my scorching skin. "Why do you hate him?" she

asked after a while. I sighed and closed my eyes.
