The Witch and Her Four Dangerous Alphas

Chapter 102: Chapter 102: My Heat Cycle

Selene’s POV~

The steering wheel felt hot under my palms, or maybe it was only me. I wasn’t sure anymore. The air in the car was thick and heavy, pressing against my skin until I could hardly breathe.

My breath came out ragged, too fast, and too shallow, and no matter how many times I tried to calm myself, it just wouldn’t slow down.

My whole body felt like it was burning from the inside out, like a fire had been lit under my skin and was spreading fast, leaving me restless and aching in ways I did not want to admit.

The road ahead blurred in and out of focus, my eyes stinging with sweat, my mind slipping like it was caught in a fog. I cursed under my breath again and again, but it didn’t help. My chest tightened, my throat felt dry, and I knew something was wrong with me. Terribly wrong.

It wasn’t supposed to be like this. I never thought it would come so soon. The flood I had dreaded, the one thing I had always pushed to the back of my mind, was here. My heat cycle.

I had left Witch Mother’s house only hours ago. Her words were still echoing inside my head, but now they felt distant compared to the storm clawing through me.

After leaving her home, I had gone with the trio—Sara, Rael, and Aswin—to meet the witches we had rescued that day. Yes, it was true; the trio had also rescued witches that day. They had not come empty-handed, and I knew this thing was definitely setting a fire under those mutts.

And for the first time in so long, I had felt like something good had actually been done. I had smiled at their faces. They were pale and tired but alive. I had even let myself breathe a little easier, thinking maybe, just maybe, there was still hope left.
