I told Mom Rose to send someone into our room and take care of Cole while he was in heat and go to Stella’s room to change our clothes. After that, we get inside the car and drive to a spa.
“I can’t believe you did that!” Stella said from beside me as my hair was brushed as gently as possible, I winced when they pulled on a knot.
“Sorry ma’am,” the hairdresser said but I waved it off telling her it was okay
“I can’t believe I did it either and the person I left him with should be me, not someone else taking care of him,” I said feeling guilty for leaving him like that.
“It’s okay, Nikki mates need time away from each other sometimes … just not too much time I don’t think we could do our full day of girl stuff seeing as you put my brother on heat” I blushed at her words
“I didn’t know that was going to happen?” I mumbled feeling the small pinches of pain and I could only imagine what he was going through
“Relax Nikki their big boys they’ll be fine,” she said to me and I closed my eyes and relaxed. We have manicures and pedicures and the go-to mall shopping. We go to different stores and try different types of dresses. Then we also go to Jewelry and shoe stores and do a lot of shopping. Then, I feel Stella drag me, somewhere, while holding my wrist in her hand.
“Where are you taking me, Stella?” I ask her while walking behind her.
“Just come with me, we don’t have much time left with us,” she said while dragging me with her. Then we stop in front of the Victoria’s Secret store and my jaw drops down to the floor.
“Stella, what are we doing here?” I ask her feeling my cheeks turn red.
“Buying lingerie, duh,” she said in the duh tone and walked inside the store while I just kept standing there.
“What are you doing, standing there, come inside the store,” Stella said when she noticed I didn’t go inside the store.
“I am not coming inside the store, you can go and buy anything you want, while I just stand here and wait for you,” I said to her.
“Why?” she asks me.
“Because I don’t need anything from here,” I said in the duh tone.
“Then, what will you show to Cole, then?” she asks me.
“We haven’t got that far in our relationship yet,” I said while looking down at the floor and fiddling with my dress so that she didn’t see me blushing.
“Maybe you don’t need it now, but you will need it in the future if you want to keep your man to yourself then you should keep entertaining him, it is the secret of a successful relationship, ” she said drawing me inside the store and handed me some lingerie and make me try it forcefully. Then she tried some for herself, and bought them for us, even after my protesting against it, then we walked out of the mall and got inside the car and drove back to the pack-house.

I arched my back off the bed with a howl of pain as I felt her get further and further away from me and that wasn’t even the worst part, I felt an ice pack rest against my forehead and a cold wet cloth over my hands and legs which are visible.
I can’t believe she left me like this with an Omega, who given a chance will become a mother hen and bet for the opposite party. Now that she is away from me, I feel my mind clear and feel myself clearly.
I am thankful that my sister came and interrupted us because if she hadn’t interrupted us then I would have marked her, we have to go through serious consequences for doing that because marking our mate is a sacred ritual and you can only mark your mate if she is your true mate and above 18 because if you mark someone who is not your mate then his/her body or is underage will reject it and consequences of it will be drastic like going insane or dead. And I don’t want to lose her in any way.
Nikki’s mind linked me and said they would be back in three hours and I found myself slowly counting down the time until she was back until the time, she could make this go away but until then I had to put up with this gay Omega.

We pulled up to the pack-house, a giggling mess of bags of clothes in our arms as we walked up the steps the bags were quickly taken from our arms by Omegas who were more than happy to help it wasn’t until I stepped fully into the pack-house could I smell him and I had to stop and stand there my eyes cast down as I fought to control my wolf who only wanted to jump on our mate, knowing that I am not ready for mating with him.
“Nikki?” Stella asks worriedly.
“Fine” I got out painfully “I’m fine it’s just a-”
“Mate thing” she sighed “I know” she shoved me towards the stairs “go” she yelled draping her arms over her forehead dramatically “Your mate needs you” I smiled at her. I love this woman, with that thought I ran upstairs and pushed our room door open only to be met with the withering form of Cole coated in sweat, I moved in further feeling guilt eat at my heart as I looked to the Gamma who had by now noticed me I let my wolf act on what should be done.
“Could you run a cold bath?” I asked the Omega, Chase, who nodded happily walking inside the washroom. I heard the water running as I climbed in next to my mate who whimpered as he pulled me closer to him.
“It hurts,” he whined trembling as I brushed my fingers through his sweat-soaked hair scratching the back of his head.
“I know” I whispered.
“I’m sorry for leaving you like this,” I said feeling guilty for leaving him like this, but he didn’t seem to hear me as I wrapped my arms tighter around him as he pushed his face into my stomach gripping my shirt tightly as I heard the water cut off and Chase appear he nodded to me and I bowed my head in acknowledgement with a thank you, he winked at me and left the room.
Cole saw the bath and understanding flashed through his eyes as he wasted no time climbing into it clothes and all and sat down, I followed sitting on his lap and we sat down together in the bath, my body trembling from the cold as I felt it quickly sap all the heat from my small body.
“B-b-better?” I asked as he tugged me closer nodding as his body heat seeped into my shivering form.
“If you’re cold, we can–” he said but I cut him off.
“No,” I said pulling his hands around my waist as I rested my head on his shoulder
“Just hold me,” I said to him.
I don’t know how long we were in there but it ended up sapping all the warmth from either of us leaving us both chilled to the bone we opted to get out of the bath he wrapped a fluffy towel around me before lifting me up and carrying me to bed, we dried ourself and get dressed in comfortable clothes. Then we ate the food Chase, had brought for us and fell asleep while talking with each other.
