Captive Mate BL-Chapter 458: + - +

Silvia didn’t cover Angelo up despite undressing him, the pain and discomfort from the heat was already a nuisance, and now that he was out of the water, he would get uncomfortably hot.

And unless an Alpha intervened, this would drag on for three or four days. She wasn’t about to let Angelo go through all that for so long. Keeping him in water was also out of the question, and it wouldn’t help with the pain.

So even though it was the last thing she wanted to do, she kicked off her heels and got on the bed, her black silk dress sticking to her skin.

"Angelo?" She called hesitantly, pushing his damp hair away from his face. He was curled up, his eyes closed like opening them was too much trouble.

Silvia didn’t wait for a response, she knew Angelo could hear her. "What do you think about getting an Alpha to-"

Angelo’s eyes flew open, some clarity coming back to them. "No."

Silvia bit down on her lip, she knew why but she had to try anyway. Watching Angelo in pain and knowing just how much it hurt made her take the chance even though she knew he would turn her down. "It’s going to go on for a couple of days," She forged on, her voice getting small.

It was also going to get much much worse. It would make Angelo feel like if he didn’t get knotted by an Alpha, he would die, she really didn’t want it to get to that point.

Angelo hesitated a bit and it gave Silvia some hope, thinking that she had managed to get through to him.

"Okay," He said slowly, licking dry lips.

Silvia couldn’t believe her ears, she had really not expected him to agree, and she was already resigned to watching him suffer through it. "Is there someone?" She asked cautiously, "Or a preference?"

Angelo stared at her with unblinking eyes, he had clearly given it some thought before agreeing to her offer. "I want Nikolai. If you can convince him I’ll go through with it."

Silvia’s mouth dropped open in disbelief, if she could convince who? "N-Nikolai?" She stammered, patting Angelo’s hair to comfort herself. She was careful not to touch him anywhere else, knowing how sensitive his skin would have gotten.

Angelo closed his eyes again, giving no further response, leaving Silvia to spiral all by herself.

Silvia got off the bed, distracted. She had been the one to make the offer to Angelo and then ask who he wanted— had he said Nikolai because he knew there was no chance of it?

She glanced at Angelo, he was curled up tight, his hands gripping the sheets. Regardless of why Angelo had chosen the Mafia King, she still had to try to get him what he wanted, even though it was the very last thing she wanted to do.

Silvia left the room momentarily, but it wasn’t to find Nikolai, she was still in shock. So she went off to fetch some water for Angelo to drink while she sorted out her thoughts.

Her back was against the wall, Nikolai was the worst possible choice and it wasn’t because the Mafia King was insane. Well, that had a part to play but she was more worried about Nikolai’s sex life.

Angelo wasn’t experienced, Nikolai was a terrible candidate for him, especially while he was in heat. She wondered if she could convince Angelo to change his mind, but he had been so quick to turn her down, she feared that he would go back to being unreceptive if she tried that.

Maybe after Mafia King Nikolai turned her down, she could try convincing Angelo then, it was the only plan of action she had. Silvia nodded to herself and then returned to Angelo’s side, he had rolled to the edge of the bed, the damp sheets a mess.

She frowned, hurrying barefoot to his side. "Do you want some water?"

Angelo opened his eyes blearily, and just by standing close to him, she could feel the heat emanating off his skin. "Yeah," He muttered, his voice scratchy.

"Can you sit up a little?" Silvia asked, she refrained from touching him if she could avoid it.

Angelo did as she asked without complaints, drinking the glass of cool water she brought him, then he went back to lying down on his side, curled up, his skin damp.

Silvia straightened up and sighed, she couldn’t put it off any longer, she didn’t even know if Nikolai was still in the penthouse. She made her way to the bathroom where the phones were forgotten, she had remembered to hang up before tossing her phone to the side.

She had no use for her phone at the moment so she just grabbed Mafia King Nikolai’s phone and went off to find the Alpha. She had no idea how she was going to strike up the conversation.

She couldn’t just walk up to him and say ’hey, Angelo asked for you to help out with his heat’. She couldn’t, but she would have to.

The penthouse was really big, finding Nikolai might prove difficult. Silvia momentarily considered just yelling for the Alpha as she walked into the living room to find him heading out.

He paused when she appeared, partially turning in her direction, an expectant look on his face.

Silvia held up his phone, walking over slowly. "You forgot your phone."

Nikolai hadn’t forgotten it, he had thought about going to get it several times but the risk Angelo posed to him was too high so he decided to ditch it for now. "Thanks," His tone was dry as he took the phone from her, about to leave again.

"Wait!" Silvia stopped him, a tinge of desperation in her voice. "Angelo needs someone to attend to him in his heat."

Nikolai’s cold blue eyes darkened in real time, his back stiff. "If anyone shows up, they’re getting shot in the parking lot." freēwēbnovel.com

Silvia’s anxiousness turned to dismay, what kind of response was that? She had been banking on Nikolai turning her down so she could get someone else for Angelo but his possessive reaction mocked her expectations.
