The heat is over (1)

~ the Dark Howlers pack ~

Damon parked the car in front of the packhouse and looked at Talia.

"What's wrong, kitten?"

He could feel her anxiety.

"It's nothing."

"Tell me." He urged her to speak up.

"I am nervous about going there."

Damon saw her pointing at the packhouse, and he didn't get it.

"Why?"

"Because… everyone knows I was in heat and that we had sex."

Damon's lips twitched, and then he burst into hearty laughter.

Talia normally enjoyed it when he laughed like that, but his timing was off. It was one thing if they did it in the privacy of their bedroom, but they were stuck in that cabin for a whole week while many things were waiting for them at home. Talia could only imagine Maya saying, 'Sorry, Alpha and Luna are unavailable at the moment because they are going at it.'

How can Talia look people in the eyes after that?
