Fated To Not Just One, But Three

Chapter 103: Full Moon

Olivia's POV

She was here because of the full moon? I hoped it wasn't what I was thinking.

"What about the full moon?" I asked, already sounding annoyed by the topic.

She sighed, stood from her seat, and then came to sit beside me on the bed. A small frown formed on my face. I had a feeling this conversation wasn't going to go the way I wanted it to.

"I believe you know what the full moon does to us she-wolves?" she asked. I glanced at her and nodded.

"But what does that have to do with me?" I asked, pretending to be ignorant.

Lady Fiona, the triplets' mother, sighed and spoke. "I'm worried about you… You'll go into heat that day," she said, her voice filled with genuine concern.

My frown deepened. I knew what she meant—and I was worried too. Going into heat was a vulnerable, painful experience for us. And if your mate was nearby but refused to touch you, it made everything worse.

I sucked in a deep breath. "You don't have to worry about me, ma. I can take care of myself."

I lied. I was terrified. This would be my first time going into heat, and I'd heard too much about it—how overwhelming the desire became, how badly we craved a male's touch. Some she-wolves even went as far as sleeping with strangers just to ease it. Others locked themselves in rooms and endured the pain in silence.

I think that's what I'm going to do.

"Olivia, this is your first heat… You can't endure it, especially with the triplets' marks on you. It'll be torture," she said, sounding even more worried.
