After I Amazed the World the Cold Alpha Regretted

Chapter 189

In heat? The words felt foreign to me.

As someone who hadn't fully embraced my werewolf side until recently, I hadn't experienced the full force of a heat cycle before.

Now, the heat that radiated through my body felt like fire, consuming every rational thought / had left.

My body ached with a need I didn't understand, and the intensity of it left me feeling unsteady, weak.

Leo's hands were gentle as they moved along my back, offering comfort, but also stoking the embers of the fire burning inside me.

't fight it," he murmured, his voice a soft plea. "Let me help you. We're mates, Sherry. This is natural"

I trembled in his arms, torn between the desire to push him away and the overwhelming need to be closer to him.

He was right-every instinct screamed that we were meant to be together, that only he could ease the relentless ache spreading through my body.

My fingers dug into his shirt, but I couldn't bring myself to let go.

Leo's lips brushed against my neck, sending a shiver down my spine.

"If you don't let me help you, the heat will come back, and it will only get worse. It's painful, Sherry. Trust me."

My resolve crumbled in that moment, and I let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding.

His touch was intoxicating, and with every kiss, every caress, the haze of my heat cycle took over completely. When I awoke the next morning, the room was empty.

The spot beside me in the bed where Leohad been was cold, and an uneasy feeling settled in my chest.

I reached over to find a small note left on the pillow:

Elizabeth

*You're past the worst of it now. The war is about to begin, and I need to make preparations. I didn't want to wake you, but I've left breakfast for your in the dining room. No matter what happens, I want you to know that I will always love you. Stay safe. - Leo"

The words made my chest tighten, and I wasn't sure if it was from lingering emotion or confusion.

Everything that had happened last night-everything he had said, everything we had shared-it felt monumental, yet I was left feeling.. incomplete.
