MARCELLUS POV :
Okay that was just, I didn’t know what to say. We definitely did not expect to be in the same room with a she wolf that’s in heat. Like why would it come now in school.
“How do you know it’s your heat?”, Alex asked her softly as he bent down to her level.
“Of course, my parents or my mum have talked me through how it starts and all. I didn’t want to believe it was my heat but all the symptoms rhymes”, she explained and groaned as another wave of her heat, hit her.
In the concept of a “mate” refers to a soulmate or a destined romantic partner who is meant to be with a werewolf for life. When a werewolf meets their mate, it is said to trigger a biological reaction called the “heat,” which is characterized by an intense physical and emotional desire for their mate.
It is possible for a werewolf to experience the heat without realizing that the person they are with is their mate. Most times the heat can be triggered by being in close proximity to one’s mate, regardless of whether they are aware of each other’s true nature. In this Charlotte case it can be possible, unless we are wrong. We had few minutes left before our next class but we can’t just leave her like this.
Alex then decided to hold her, maybe he could help her calm down with his smell or something, and so far, it was working.
Alex held Charlotte tightly and softly, trying to keep her still as she writhed in pain and felt very uncomfortable. She was in the midst of her heat cycle, and the intense sensations were overwhelming her. But Alex scent was able to calm her down. That was a relief.
His smell was a combination of musk and earth, with a hint of wild forest. It was a powerful scent, and as soon as it hit the her nostrils, she could feel her body start to relax. The strong, masculine aroma was comforting and reassuring, reminding her that she was not alone.
Alex scent worked by triggering the release of pheromones in the girl’s body. These pheromones interacted with the olfactory receptors in her nose, sending signals to her brain that everything was going to be alright. The pheromones also had a calming effect on her nervous system, reducing her anxiety and tension.
As Alex continued holding her for sometime, his scent surrounded her, enveloping her in a comforting cocoon. Charlotte could feel her breathing slow down and her heart rate return to normal. The intense sensations that had been tormenting her began to fade, replaced by a sense of peace and contentment.
Alex scent had a profound effect on Charlotte. It allowed her to let go of her fear and discomfort, and simply be in the moment. She was able to relax and let herself be held, safe in the knowledge that the boy was there to protect her. We didn’t see it to be weird but it can seem weird. At least we were able to help. I had the stuff to cover our scents and sprayed it on all of us.
So we all made it in time for our next class, after Charlotte was feeling much better. I’m sure she was thinking about why her heat just came like that and so were we, it wasn’t expected at all.
Charlotte had a different class from I and Alex, so we went our different ways. Though I and Alex gave Charlotte her number and she had ours too, I suppose she’s our first friend at school today, Not bad.
After few more classes, the day was finally over. I and Alex went over to our locker, taking our bags and stuff’s and leaving the school premises. Still in the school compound, we heard someone call out to us and turned to see Charlotte who was running to meet us.
“So where you guys headed now?”, She asked smiling widely.
“Umm back home?”, I replied confused as to why she was asking.
She Chuckled cutely and said, “why don’t we just head over to an ice cream parlor and get ice cream, hang out a bit before we then go home”.
I and Alex discussed it in our heads and agreed, it was a really nice idea.
“But we hope you won’t be in any trouble?”, Alex asked her both she shooked her head, saying she won’t.
I and Alex driver was already here and we told him to take us to get some ice cream, maybe we might get little snacks too. I know he was supposed to take us back home but he agreed.
Charlotte was the one that choose the place and walked into the ice cream parlor, with I and Alex closely following her. The sweet aroma of different flavors of ice cream filled the air and made our mouths water. We approached the counter, eager to place our orders.
Charlotte was the first to step forward and confidently announced her order. “I would like a double scoop of strawberry and chocolate ice cream in a waffle cone, please.” The ice cream server smiled and began preparing Charlotte’s order, expertly scooping the pink and brown ice cream into a fresh waffle cone.
Next up was I, “I would like a single scoop of chocolate ice cream and vanilla, both in a cup and sprinkle some of those.” I pointed and the server nodded, taking note of my combination of flavors.
Alex, who was known for his sweet tooth, was the last to place his order, the boy was just something else, sometimes he would want something sweet and sometimes it will change. I and Alex both loved ice cream right from time “Can I have a triple scoop of cookie and cream ice cream in a waffle cone, please?” The server raised an eyebrow at the sheer amount of ice cream Alex had requested, but quickly got to work, filling the waffle cone with generous scoops of the creamy white and brown ice cream. We laughed at him as he looked back at the server with a “you better get to work” face.
I and Charlotte then said, “Bills on you Alex”, and he turned to us like as if we betrayed him, which just made us laugh more and then he paid for the ice creams.
With our orders complete, we found a table to sit at and enjoy our treats. Charlotte savored each bite of her waffle cone, the perfect combination of sweet and tart strawberries mixed with rich chocolate. I took in mine and it blended together perfectly, was so cool and sweet, mmm. Alex was in heaven as he devoured his massive waffle cone, the chunks of cookies adding a crunch to the creamy vanilla ice cream.
As we finished our ice creams, we laughed and chatted, enjoying each other’s company and the sweet treats we had just indulged in.
And then a group of students from our school walked into the ice cream parlor and walked straight to where we were seated.
What will they want now?
