#Chapter 89 – Heat

Jane

This can’t be happening. I can’t be going

into heat – not now!

“No I’m not!” I tell Ethan frantically, denying what he can obviously see and

smell. He’s hovering much too close, driving my wolf over the edge and

sending waves of panic through my body. He starts to reach for me, but I back away,

flinching.

“Don’t, stay back!” I urge, thrusting my palm towards him defiantly. “I’m not

going into heat, this is just… period

cramps!” I declare stubbornly, “you

don’t want to be around me when I’m like

this.”

“Janey, you’re being ridiculous – it’s perfectly natural.” Ethan sighs, dropping

his outstretched hands nonetheless. “And

you’re in pain, you should let me help.”

“No, you’re the last person I want right now.” I lie, even as my wolf begs me to let him take away the spasms of agony clutching my insides. I’m not sure how long he can be around my scent before he goes into rut, but I know from experience that once he does, any chance I have at resisting him will disappear. “I need to get out of here!”

“And go where?” Ethan growls, his own wolf flashing in his eyes. “To Eric?”

“No!” I exclaim, my stomach churning at the idea of the other man putting his hands on me. My wolf doesn’t like that idea at all. “To Linda. I need to be around

another woman, not rutting alphas.”

“Alright then, I’ll take you,” He offers, looking as though he’s having to forcibly hold himself back from pouncing on me.

“That’s okay.” I answer shakily, “you stay here with the pups, I’ll catch a taxi.”

“Jane you can’t go out around other shifters, any alpha you meet will go crazy for your scent and most of them don’t have my strength.” He reminds me as if I could forget.

“I’ll be okay.” I assure him, “just take

care of my babies.”

“Just promise me you won’t go near

Eric.” He demands. 1
