I wake up before Cole and go to the washroom to take a shower and get ready for the day. I was drying myself, with a soft puffy towel when I heard a painful groan from inside the room, and sounded like Cole, I got worried and put on my clothes as quickly as I could and walked out of the washroom only to see a red face Cole curled up in a fatal Position, Turing and tossing in the bed. I walk toward him and when he sees me coming towards him, he growls at me.
“Stay away from me, Nikki,” he said to me with a growl and I jumped back and kept moving back until I was pressed against the wall I didn’t know what to do so I did the only thing I could do, I shouted Trevor name for help and he came running towards me with Stella on his side.
“What’s wrong Nikki? Are you okay? Are you hurt?” Trevor asks checking me for any injuries and I signal him to look at Cole with my head telling him to look at Cole.
“Oh, shit, Stella what date it is?” Trevor asks Stella looking at Cole.
“December 1, crap he is in heat,” Stella said with wide eyes. A painful groan again leaves his mouth and I walk closer to him but am stopped by his growl.
“What’s wrong with him, Stella?” I ask her still looking at him.
“He is in heat, Nikki?” she said to me and I saw Trevor’s face palm himself.
“What is heat?” I ask turning to look at her.
“It is a phase, from which every werewolf has to go every year, in which a werewolf gets a very high fever and his/her body burns from inside for a few days,” Trevor said glaring at her.
“I will go to meet the doctor to ask him if is there anything we can do to help him,” Stella said to us and walked out of there.
“Is there anything I can do to help him, it’s hurt to see him like this,” I said wiping my eyes before a tear fell down from them.
“Yes, there is but he will not let you get closer to you, to quell the pain for him. He was scared to do something which he regrets later,” he said to me.
“Something, like hurting, me?” I asked and he nodded his head.
“And now that he’s on heat, which he hasn’t been on for a few years now, it’s a whole heap worse,” he said to me, and then an idea popped up in my mind.
“Did a cold shower or bath help him?” I ask him.
“Yes, it will do the trick for some time,” he said smiling at me and I walked out of the room to get some ice from the fridge and prepare a cold bath for Cole.

After some time Stella comes with a bottle of pills and a glass of water in her hand.
“Here, take these pills it will help you to decrease the temperature of your body,” she said giving me pills and a glass of water. I take it from her gulp down the pills with the water and give her the glass back.
“The pack doctor said you have to take these pills every two hours because it will only be going to work on us werewolves for two hours,” she said putting the glass and bottle of the pills on the table. Nikki enters with the heavy bucket of ice and Trevor helps her to carry it to the washroom. After that, I heard the noise of the shower and I took it that they were preparing a bath for me.
“There were lines and lines of the un-mated she-wolf who was attracted by your smell, if it wasn’t for your bodyguards holding them they would have thrown themself on you,” Stella said to me making me groan.
“Well they better stay away from my mate or they will face the consequences,” Nikki said coming out of the washroom.
“I know that’s what I have told them and they run away from there,” Stella said to her with a teasing smile on her face.
“Good,” Nikki said and walked out of there with a red face due to embarrassment and with a bucket in her hand.
“Mate looks so hot when she becomes jealous, you know what? Let’s grab her and make a lot of love with her,” my wolf said to me with a growl.
“Are you out of your mind? Do you even know what are you telling me to do? She was too young for all this,” I yelled at him.
“Why don’t you use one of those she-wolves to get rid of your heat?” Stella asks me and my wolf growls at her just at the thought of it.
“Don’t ever mention that in front of me,” I said to her with a growl.
“Why/ It’s not that you have never done that?” she asks me.
“It was before I found Nikki, but now that I have finally found her, I would never look at any other she-wolf-like that let alone have sex with them,” I said to her.
“Yeah, sorry,” she said with a nervous chuckle Nikki entered my room with a bowl of ice cream and one of my bodyguards who as a bucket in his hand.
“Here, eat ice cream it will feel you better,” Nikki said passing the bowl to me. I sit up and eat it. After some time Trevor comes out of the washroom.
“Your bath is ready, come I will help you,” he said taking the bowl from my hand and helping me to get up from the bed and walk me to the bathroom. I remove my clothes and get into the bathtub and it feels nice to enter in cold water, it almost cools down my burning.
After some time, when I feel the water is not cold anymore, I get out of the bathtub, get in new clothes, and walk to my room to see Nikki sitting on my bed with the tray of food.
“I thought you must be hungry so I told the chef to prepare something for you to eat,” she said and put the tray on the table and patted the bed beside her telling me to come and sit beside her. I walk towards her and sit beside her.
“Look I know You don’t want me around you when you are sick, but I can’t help it, I can’t just sit around and watch you in pain and I know you were afraid that your wolf will take control over you and will hurt me because of the pain but please let me stay and look after you,” she pleaded for me.
“Mate love us, I wish she was more than 18 years old then we could have made love with her,” My wolf whined.
“Me too,” I said to him.
“Okay, if you say so but promise me if you feel something is wrong with me, you will get out of my room immediately, okay,” I ask her and she nods her head adorably. When I finished eating she took the tray from my hand and kept it on the nightstand. I yawn feeling tired, she gets up from the bed and tucks me into it. After that, she got inside the cover and I hugged her put my face in her hair, and fell into a dreamless slumber.
