Aleena’s POV
.
I tried to mind link Stephen again, but I couldn’t. Why was that?
He had asked me to wear this, but he hadn’t mentioned the time. I meant, when was he planning to take me with him?
I was feeling tired, so should I rest for a while or get ready immediately? I tried to mind link Paige as well, but I couldn’t.
That reminded me that I had now taken the position of Alpha in Fire Cross Pack, which was another pack. If one wouldn’t break the link with his or her previous pack, then the link automatically gets a break after twelve hours.
That was why I was not able to connect with Stephen first, not Paige.
‘I started missing his voice in our mind already.’, Leia whined as if I was enjoying this news.
‘Then why don’t you complete the mark and mate with him?’, She asked, on which I ignored her.
“Paige?” I yelled, hoping she to listen to it after she was a werewolf. “Can you please come to my room?” I added and sat on the bed. After a while, she walked with a smile on her face.
I showed her the note and asked, “At what time?”, He missed writing it.
“Oh, that’s my stupid brother! At 7 PM.”
“Hmm. It means I can sleep like the dead for now.”, I muttered, yawning.
“Yeah! You can.”, She giggled, hiding the pain, but I was not an idiot. “If you want to look around, then asked Lily. She is one of the trusted and old pack members of this pack. Also, she will show you the room where you can rest if you want.”
“Sure!! Now have your beauty sleep, or you will have a dark circle under your eyes.”, She pointed out.
“And that will be the last thing that I will expect to happen before my date.”
Once she left, I dropped the towel from my body and wore panties and a night dress, reaching my thigh before landing on the bed. I set the alarm at 5 PM before closing my eyes.

Later I opened my eyes because of the pain in my body. I felt like someone had whipped me for hours.
‘What’s happening to me?’ I thought and whimpered in pain and wiped my sweat from my forehead. I decreased the temperature of the room, but it wasn’t not working at all. I groaned in pain, and that was when I realized that my body was on fire.
That happens only on fever!! But that was in the case of humans.
‘A body of any female werewolves goes on fire, only when ….’
Shit! I was in heat.

Stephen’s POV

‘Mate’
‘What’s wrong, Thunder?’ I asked when Thunder growled loudly in my mind all of a sudden.
‘Let’s go, the mate.’, He said restlessly.
‘What? What’s wrong?’
‘I can sense that she is in trouble.’, He responded before taking control of my body and shifted and started running toward Silver Moon Pack. I left the arrangement that I was preparing for Lina to surprise her and was hoping that, unlike last time, nothing would go wrong. I had already shared my plan with Daniel so that in case anyone would ask about my whereabouts, and he wouldn’t end up telling anyone that I was not busy with Beta duty but preparing a surprise for my mate. I knew even the pack duties were important, but thankfully Daniel understood that I needed some time with my mate, so he asked Charlie to handle everything because he was thinking of appointing Charlie as his Beta. Though John and Wade were also great warriors and intelligent werewolves for Beta’s position, they both decide to move in the pack where I would go.
I was brought out of my thoughts when my nose smelt an enchanting scent from far.
‘Fuck! She is in heat and alone.’
All the unmated werewolves would try to claim her and would try to please her sexually. Thunder growled at that thought and ran as faster as he could.
And my assumption was correct when I found unmated wolves fleeing around the packhouse like a bee. Thunder let out a threatening growl, warning them to leave before he loses his mind. I shifted before walking toward Lina’s room and found Paige growling at two unmated wolves standing in front of her room. She was injured, or her fur was covered with blood.
‘But it’s not her blood.’, Thunder said, and that’s when my eyes landed on Noah, who was bleeding because someone had stabbed him.
I was tempted to those two bastards on my own, but I was impressed by the way Paige attacked both of the werewolves. But when she was busy killing one, the other one tried to attack. Before I would have done anything, Noah was quick enough to pull the dagger out of his stomach and stab him right into the chest.
“Your mate is safe, Alpha Stephen.”, Noah said, bowing his head.
‘Alpha,’ It would take time to get habitual to this new title.
Cinder, Paige’s wolf, checked on him, coming closer to him. Were they mate?
“I’m fine, Paige. Thank you.”, he said, patting her head. “All I have to visit the hospital.”, he added.
I opened my mouth to thank both of them when I felt the vibration on the whole floor. It meant that Lina was screaming that loudly that she was creating this havoc since the room was soundproof. That was why no one could listen to her screams, but this was the effect of an echo.
“Alpha Stephen, your mate needs you. The smell she is releasing is ….”
“I get it, but can you manage, or should I….” Cinder came upfront to offer her help. “Why are you not able to mind link me, Paige, Cinder? Neither am I.”
“That’s because she has left Stone Moon Pack and will join this pack.”, Noah explained.
‘That’s great! One of my family members will stay here.’

I entered Aleena’s room using a spare key. I could have broken the lock or door as well, but then I didn’t want others to see what would happen next. My cock got hard the moment her scent hit me.
Her hair was all over the pillow, and some of them were stuck on her face because of the sweat. She had held the sheet tightly and raised her ass off the bed in a seductive way. It stirred my cock, and the fact that I had no clothes over my body was not helping me at all.
