A dastardly condition that inflicts female wolves. During a she–wolf’s heat, she had an uncontrollable desire to mate. She becomes an aggressive, horny machine desperate for sex. Her body heat rises exponentially to prepare for insemination. Her scent, now a thousand times more potent, becomes a seductive enchantment meant to seduce and lure. It sends a spellbinding message to unmated wolves, enticing their animalistic instincts. A she–wolf in heat is fertile, the chances of pregnancy taking place are extraordinarily high. However, in lycanthropes, the heat occurs when mates were close to each other weeks after their established bond.

I avoided the heat because of not only the rejected band but being miles away from my bastard of a mate. Now, things were changing. The rejection was reversed, and I was closer to Neron than ever before. The heat finally caught up to me, combusting dozens of flames in my body. At twenty–two, I was going through my first

heat.

And it burns!

My nails pierced the skin of my chest as more pain shot through, directly hitting my heart. One hand on the ground serves as my only support as I gasp for air. Behind my eyes, Artemis writhes and whimpers in pain. The heat is pulling us further into a sea of scorching red. Behind me, Raina holds onto my shoulders, lear mixing with her scent. Her touch made me painfully aware of my increased sensitivity, the smallest of touches could erupt a volcano of agony underneath my flesh.

Because it wasn’t the touch of my mate.

“Make it stop!” I cried, tears stinging my eyes. “Oh Goddess, make it stop!”

“I need to get you inside, sis,” Raina’s voice volume was ear splitting, despite being a whisper. I wanted to be alone, away from everyone so the heat could go away. But I knew it wouldn’t.

The key to crush the heat is for my mate to touch me. Him to be intimate with me. The pain would only disappear if we complete the overdue mating process. The very thought of having sex with Neron made me want to tear my hair out! I couldn’t do that! I don’t want that! That’s a line I wasn’t ready to cross!

With anyone!

Multiple growls erupted from behind us. I didn’t need to look to know what was happening. My scent was drawing the unmated wolves in. In an instant, the heat turned me from a mighty Delta to an attractive chew toy. No unmated male could resist the scent of an unmated female in heat.

“Stay the hell away from my sister!” Raina shouted, scooping my smoldering body in her arms. I didn’t have the strength to resist because all my energy is zapped from my limbs. From the slits of my eyelids, I spot about a dozen men advancing towards us, eyes murky, afire with desire. My sister clutched me closer to her chest, my nose forcibly inhaling her scent of lavender and chamomile.

Please, please don’t let those men touch me!

Abruptly, a powerful growl resounded in the air and Jackie rushed in front of us. She used her tall body as a shield from the advancing beasts. “Control yourselves, men! If any of you touch her, I will gut you from where you stand!” She turned her head to us. “Go!”

Raina took off, the air whipping against my boiling flesh. It stung terribly, a whimper escaping my mouth. I opened my eyes more to see some men breaking from the group, running after us. They didn’t get far with Galen’s yellowish–gray wolf barreling into them, knocking them to the ground. Sapphire did her best to deter the other men away from us with Isaiah and Darien. Abigail opened the door to the packhouse, following us to my room.

As my sister placed me on my bed, I screamed. Too much pain! Too many sensations at once! My claws elongated, tearing at my armor and clothes, shedding them into useless strips of cloth.

“Kiya, no!” She grabbed my hands. “I–I know it’s bad, but I’m here to help you. We need to get your temperature down.”

“It hurts…” I sobbed. Like bullets, the pain whizzed from every nerve, merciless. My mind was hazy with pain and desire, infuriating the fire pooling in my core. Why did this have to happen now? Why did I have to be at the mercy of this developmental malfunction?

I don’t want sex. I don’t want to mate. My heat was punishing me!
