Natalie POV
We didn't sleep the entire night. We couldn't. The heat was too much. I needed him, not sleep. After several rounds of love making, we fell asleep for a little while, yet, I was woken up by the heat. I glanced at my snoozing mate beside me and sighed.
I didn't want to wake him up. Frowning, I glanced at my stomach. The pain I felt in my lower abdomen was gradually increasing. Squeezing my eyes shut, I groaned as I pressed a pillow against my body. Why did we go into heat when we met our mates? The pain was excruciating.
This would go one for a full twenty four hours. In the werewolf packs it wouldn't be an issue since everyone understood how it was when mates find each other. However, here in the human city things would be different. Looks like I would have to take the day off. There was no way I would call and talk to them over the phone. I don't want to growl out the words. I hope a text message would be fine.
