Astrid
It's just the perfect timing for me to fight with Magnus now; my heat decided to make itself known. And all I could think about was him, holding him close to me, inhaling his scent till I fell asleep and also woke up to it.
Since I left him this afternoon, my entire body has been on fire. I used my wolf's remaining power to conceal my scent; that was all she could do so it wouldn't go out to unmated males.
If I didn't conceal it, there'd be chaos outside the house already. Any male werewolf that isn't mated would smell the scent of my arousal from miles away. Their wolves would lose control, and they'd trace where the scent was coming from.
It's rare since most werewolves mate almost immediately after they meet their mates. Only female werewolves who have met their mates and haven't completed the mating rites go through the pain.
