The Alpha's Rejected Luna

Chapter 15: The Fever

On her way home from college, Elara was lost in Kael's words the entire time.

"I think you still love me..."

"Why did you get confused?"

Those words were spinning in her head.

As soon as she reached home, she felt extremely tired. She hadn't slept properly the whole night because of those same thoughts. Without eating or drinking anything, she just changed her clothes and lay down on her bed.

Thinking about Kael, she didn't even realize when she fell asleep.

Then her eyes opened and it was already 11 PM at night.

Her head was aching, her body was burning. She was feeling a temperature. She got up to freshen up, but her fever got worse.

Ignoring her fever, she stood in the balcony for some fresh air.

And that's when she saw it...

Downstairs, Kael's Fortuner was parked. And Kael... he was looking right at her. At her balcony.

Elara was looking at him, when suddenly, due to the high fever, she felt dizzy... and collapsed right there in the balcony.

Kael, who was standing downstairs, saw everything. His heart stopped.

He ran and entered her apartment building. He remembered - she had once given him the spare key of her apartment. He used it to open the door and ran up the stairs as fast as he could.

"Elara! What happened to you? Open your eyes! Elara!" he shouted, standing at the balcony door.

She said nothing. She was unconscious.

Kael went closer, placed his hand on her cheek and tried to wake her up, but she didn't move.

And then Kael felt it... she was burning with a very high fever and shivering with cold.

Without thinking for a second, Kael picked her up in his arms, laid her gently on the bed inside, and covered her with a blanket.

Her forehead was so hot that Kael's heart sank.

He quickly went to the kitchen, found a small bowl, filled it with cold water and brought a towel. He sat beside her bed, his heart beating fast with worry.

He placed the cold strip on her forehead again and again. All night long, he stayed awake, just watching her, just taking care of her. He held her cold hand in his warm hand, whispering, "You will be fine, Elara. I am here."

This was the same Kael who had hurt her, but tonight, he was the only one who was there for her.
