(3rd person P. O. V)
Cole woke up with a massive headache and groaned in pain.
“You woke up. How are you feeling now?” Stella asks, walking inside the room with a food tray in her hands.
“Did you remember what happened yesterday?” Stella asks while passing a glass of water and some painkillers to him.
“Why did something happen yesterday?” Cole asks while putting the pills in his mouth and gulping down the glass of water.
“Try to remember yourself,” Stella said to him. Cole passes the glass to her and tries to remember what happened yesterday.
He remembers Nikki going into heat, him preparing a cold bath for her, and passing the heat-reducing potion to her. Then he remembers himself going into heat and trying to push Nikki away from him and calling for Kelvin’s help before his wolf takes control of his body. But he could not remember what happened after his wolf took control of his body.
“I remember both Nikki and me going into heat and Roy taking control of my body, but I don’t remember what happened after he took over my body,” Cole said while looking at Stella’s emotionless face.
“Don’t tell me that; Roy forcefully tried to claim her?” Cole asks with wide eyes.
“Why don’t you ask him, yourself?” Stella asks him, not willing to answer him.
“What did you do to her, dude?” Cole asks his wolf while running his hands over his face. He heard his whimper, and blurry images played inside his mind.
*Flashback*
Cole takes a deep breath to calm himself down and better grip Roy, but it is a huge mistake. Cole mind-linked Kelvin and shouted his name inside my mind for help before as soon as he felt Roy take control of his body.
After Roy took control of his body, he started kissing Nikki all over her face while caressing her body. He heard Nikki take his name with a moan, and he growled in approval and began kissing her passionately.
After making out with her for some time, he kissed down on her neck until he reached where he was going to mark her and started sucking it. He heard Nikki moan in pleasure, felt his fang come out of his teeth, and started nibbling her neck. And he bit her on his neck and heard her scream in pain.
Then he suddenly heard someone break the door and barge inside their room and try to take Nikki away from him, he wanted to protect her while growing and showing his fang to the intruder. But then, suddenly, someone pins him down on the bed and takes Nikki away.
He tries to stop them but feels a sting in his arms and passes out on them.
*Flashback ends*
“Ah! Shit!” Cole cursed while holding his face in his hands.
“So, you do remember, huh? How can you do this to her, Cole? And don’t give me that bullshit that you did it because you were in heat and unable to control yourself or your wolf. It’s not the first time you had gone in heat when she was around, is it?” Stella scolds him.
“It’s not his fault at that time,” Rose said while entering his room with a gentle smile on her face.
“What do you mean?” Stella asks her.
“When someone goes into heat, their smell will become even more robust and attract many unmated males to them. And if the person in heat is your mate, then that smell will become even more intoxicating for you to bear, and it will become harder for you to control your wolf who wants to claim your mate so that no one will be able to claim her.
So, it is understandable that he lost control; over his wolf and marked her as his when he was in heat. When both you and your mate were in heat, it was easy to lose control of your wolf because, at that time, your body became sensitive to your mate’s touch. Your mate’s scent became unbearably intense, and hence you lost control of your wolf and surrendered to your instinct to mate with your mate,” Rose explains.
“Where is Nikki? How is she doing? Is Nikki okay? Is she in pain?” Cole asks, looking worried.
“She is in Emma’s room. She is still sleeping, so we will only know how she feels until she wakes up,” Rose informed him.
“I will go and check on her,” Cole said while getting down from his bed.
“Don’t you even dare think about getting out of your room? Did you forget that you are still in heat? Do you want to repeat yesterday’s incident?” Rose asks while glaring at him.
“Stay inside your room till the last day of the heat. Your father and Zane will handle your work until you recover from the heat. Stella and a male Omega will take care of your needs. Emma and I will take care of Nikki. If you want to get in contact with Nikki, use your phone and video call her when she wakes up,” Rose ordered her.
“Anyway, Emma told me to give this to you,” Rose said while passing him the bag she was holding all this time. Cole takes the bag from her and opens it to see a few bottles of heat-reducing heat potion in the bag.
“What about Nikki?” Cole asks while taking a bottle of potion from the bag and drinking it.
“Emma had a few potions stored in her room for Nikki,” Rose told him. They were talking with each other about pack essential matters when they heard someone scream stop inside their mind in pack link.
*Please, stop* they heard Nikki whispering to them while crying her heart out. They got worried and walked out of Cole’s room, but Stella stopped Cole in the way and sent him back to his room, telling him that she would let him know what was going on with Nikki after finding out what was going on herself and walks towards Emma’s room leaving Cole in his room, waiting for her answer.
