Selene's words echo in my mind for a long time.
Is that why you took so long to come to me?
She sighs. It was a consideration, she says, and leaves it at that.
For the first time, I think I'm truly grateful that I was a defect. If I'd had Selene—if I'd gone into heat like this in the pack…
The life I would lead makes me shudder.
Thankfully, thinking about it helps with the symptoms of heat, too. Nothing like an instant turn-off even in the face of Lycan reproductive urges.
Wait a second. Why aren't you affected by my heat, if it's because of the Lycan part of me?
Selene's silence has me narrowing my eyes at the empty air. Selene!
I am not as young or as inexperienced as you, child. A heat does not overcome me in that way.
So, I'm young and inexperienced, and therefore I become a slutty ball of desire when I go through heat? Not fair.
