Shadows of the past...

Miriam POV (Nanny)

I was hunched over a hardcover notebook in my small office at the back of the café. My brows furrowed in concentration as I jotted down Lyla's recent symptoms, trying to make sense of the changes I'd been observing.

Since she started getting her pheromones every month, I made it my duty to note down the symptoms and help her prepare for the next month but this month had taken us by surprise.

 Excessive heat and increased sexual behaviour

I jotted it down checking other cycles to see what was missing. Today was the first day and she was already showing signs associated with the last day of her heat. Something was not right. My pen hovered over the book as I pondered for a moment, trying to figure out if her trip to Blue Ridge Pack was the cause.
