Getting the message Lucas helps me remove the material from his upper body. Laying back on his chest causes a soothing sigh to pass my lips.
A knock on the door signals someone trying to get in. Lucas let's out a deep and ground shaking growl. A warning to however is on the other side of the door. The growl that would normally scare me to death causes a foreign feeling to settle in my lower abdomen.
The door opens and Lucas tightens his arms around me, protecting me from whoever decided to come into our den.
Room.
I meant room.
"Now I know you didn't just growl at your mother. King to be or not I will still kick your butt."
Lucas pulls me deeper into his chest, not that I'm complaining. Snuggling deeper causes the feeling in my stomach to intensify and the sparks cause my nerves to go into hyper drive.
"Audrey dear? I need to tell you what is going on."
Paying attention was important. I know that. But with Lucas holding me the way he is makes it very hard to focus.
"Audrey. Focus."
"Yes mama."
I can't stop myself before I call Sophia that. It just felt right. Judging from the smile and shine in her eyes, Sophia is happy I did.
"Audrey, what is happening to you is called heat. Do you know what that is?"
"Other than the fact I feel like my body is being eaten by flames? No mama. Why is this happening to me?"
I feel my eyes well with tears and I can't help the sob that racks my entire body. Lucas wraps his arms impossibly tighter as he tries to comfort me. I can feel the fire slowly stirring awake and I know that the pain will be returning soon.
"Almost all she-wolves go through it. It's our bodies and wolves trying to get you to complete the mating bond. Since you are a queen it is worse than all other she-wolves. The monarchy relies on you so your body wants you to complete it faster. Your emotions will be out of control, your body feels like it is on fire, you will be on edge the entire time. The worst part is that your body will crave Lucas touch the entire time, wanting the mating process to be completed. Your wolf will demand it from Lucas wolf and Lucas will have a hard time controlling himself, instinct taking over. Your heat should end within a few days but if Lucas marks you it will most likely please your wolves enough to end the heat. Or not and they will still demand you finish the bond. It's different for all but the heat will get worse as time goes on.I'm just warning you now."
The fire is growing with each passing second, demanding something be done.
The Queen leaves and shuts the door but her description on what is happening stays in the front of my mind.
"I'm sorry baby girl. I'm sorry that this is happening to you. I would take it away if I could."
He can Aud. Have him mark us and this will most likely end.
