April's POV

"What the f**k Stephano! Do you have a death wish or what? Jackie get this piece of shit out of my sight before i stab him to death. Stop growling at me and get him out of my sight." Stupid idiot. I made a dozen cup cakes early this morning, just for me to come down and see half of it gone and the guilty culprit eating it and smiling at me.

"Don't be so dramatic April it's just a cup cake it's not like it's your brain I ate."

"You know Stephan you're really asking for trouble, you better get out here if you still want to have pups. What are you even doing here? We are having a girls time so get out of here." Dora said. I glared at him and he just winked and walked out of the house.

"So..." Jackie started.

"The heat period is starting next week, I'm so nervous." Jackie said blushing. The heat period often happens a week or two after the Full Moon.

"No wonder Collins bought a bigger bed today, and when I asked him why, he just winked at me." Meghan said her face beet red. I wonder how many of them will get pregnant next week.

"Just incase you guys get pregnant, I call dibs on the baby, I'll be the godmother of your babies." I smiled at the girls.

"All three of our babies?" Dora asked and I nodded. Seeing as I'm not even mated in sure I won't go into heat. I wish I was mated.

"What are the names of your wolfs girls?" I asked as I removed the baked cake from the oven.

"Dora..?"

"Nadia"

"Jackie..?"

"Chan..."

We burst out laughing. "Are you in sane Jackie? I always had a feeling something was wrong with you." Dora managed to say in between laughter.

"Yes, I totally agree with her. When the goddess was sharing sense and intelligence to her children I'm sure you were not present." I said causing her to growl I just smirked at her.

"Meghan..?

"Sara.."

"Nice, when my wolf comes out, we'll let our wolfs talk, but for now I'm too jealous to even talk with them." I said growling causing the girls to laugh. " Come on, let's eat up and go to the training ground." Jackie later told us that 'Lina' was the name of her wolf.

The training ground was almost crowded today. Both men and women and even children are training how to fight in their own areas. I can see some learning how to fight in wolf form and human form and also learning how to throw knives and archery especially the children and women.

"Look who it is, April and company. It's been a while since I saw you honey, how are you doing?" Natasha said walking over to were we stood. I mindlinked the girls not to reply her or even talk to her.

"I need to go and prepare for the heat period. Who knows I might get pregnant for my Jordan. Catch ya later." With that she walked away.

"She's nuts."

"Definitely gone insane...."

"What a piece of work..."

"She's so looking forward to it and Jordan my poor brother is dreading it. He told that, he wish he can travel out throughout the heat and come back a day before her trials commence." Jackie muttered. It will be a shame infact a big embarrassment for Natasha if word gets out that Jordan is avoiding her, that head of hers that is held high with so much confidence and arrogance, will be held low in humiliation and defeat. I so can't wait.

••••• ••••• •••••

It's like hours before the heat strikes and I'm right here in the Pack house braiding Luna Eve's hair after she bullied me into doing it. Such a mischievous woman. I finished braiding her hair and walked out of her room only to bump into Jordan.

"Sorry.." I apologise and he just shook his head and smiled at me.

"Your hair is scattered.." he said as he picked up a hair brush from where I don't know and started to brush my hair for me..

"Let me guess, she bullied you again right?" I nodded and he laughed. His laughter like music to my ears. "You know it's best if you just give up on that Bow because you won't get it." What does he mean? That bow is like an artifact and she told us one time when I was 14 that the goddess made it and gave it to her sister 'Regina' who is an apprentice of the goddess whatever that means. She told us what happened that Regina got the Bow. When the goddess came in human form she almost got killed by Alator, an immortal and deadly Vampire who wanted the goddess's powers. Before he could kill her, Regina shot him with that Bow and an arrow that was coated with some kind of substance that is far worse that silver. Fortunately according to what Luna Eve told us, when Regina shot him he did not die instantly so she rushed over and stabbed with a knife which was also coated. She stabbed him continuously and in that process inherited some powers from the vampire that knocked her out for a week while the beautiful goddess (I have never seen her by the way I just assumed) took in the rest of all his powers. Later when Regina regained consciousness, it was discovered that Regina could see the events that happened in the past and the events that will happen in the future. She gifted that Bow to Luna Eve when she got pregnant with Jordan. I've been trying to get her to give it to me but no, she keeps on bullying me because of it.

"Hey, don't worry, she will definitely give it to it's just a matter of time." He said still brushing my hair. I thanked him and went back home.

I brought out ingredients for cake and was about to start the mixture when I was suddenly hit with an unbearable feeling. It didn't take me long to realize that I was on heat. What the fuck! I can't be on heat, I'm not even mated. I managed and walked up to my room with so much difficulty. I entered my room and locked the door, throwing the key in one corner of the room. I need to be touched badly and to think that I will have to endure it for a whole week. Gosh this is terrible.

"Why I am going through this? Why goddess? I'm not even mated, please help me through this goddess." I cried out in agony.

The heat is over! I look around my room to see it utterly and completely scattered. I can't do this alone. I checked the time and saw it was already 2pm in the afternoon. I mindlinked the girls to come over. I took a shower in the guest room and ran down to the kitchen to prepare lunch. I was almost done when Arnold walked in with Dora.

"You look pale, are you alright?" Arnold asked examining me from head to toe.

"I'm fine.."

I brought out a lunch-box and filled it with food for him. He picked up his white ward coat and stethoscope kissed Dora and took the lunch-box, kissed me on the cheek and walked away. Soon after he left the girls came in. They went up to my room while I cleaned the kitchen. When I was done I went to to meet them.

"What in the world happened here? Jackie asked. I just shrugged and we started arranging and cleaning up the room. When we were done, we took a shower and I gave them my clothes to wear while I dry cleaned their clothes. When I was done, I dished out lunch and we ate.

"Now that we've eaten and everything let's talk about the heat." I said to the girls.

"Stephano has a huge stamina, he just doesn't know when to stop and my heat was just too much." Jackie said with a smirk. Why is she smirking.

"To me I feel as if this heat came with so much anger towards us. It was so much. I could only get fifteen minutes of break." Meghan said.

"Jackie, if Stephano had that kind of stamina imagine the kind of stamina Jordan has since he's the Alpha. Arnold also was so insatiable, it was as if the heat is his best period." Ewww! I don't even want to hear that.

"Speaking about Jordan, do you guys know that Natasha did not go into heat?"

"What..?"

"That's impossible.."

"Yes. She didn't during breakfast this morning he told me that he was in the room throughout and nothing happened to her. Very strange if you ask me."

"That's not the only strange thing that happened." I spoke up.

"What do you mean April? And why the hell was your room in a complete mess? Do you know how exhausted my body is from the continous sex for a week?" Meghan asked glaring at me. I just laughed at her causing her to growl.

"Don't growl at me Meghan." I smirked at her.

"What other strange thing happened?" Dora asked taking a sip of the juice I brought for us.

"Me. I went into heat. That's why the room was in a mess. It was so unbearable for me. I felt like dying. I don't get it, how is it even possible? I don't have a mate so why did I go into heat?" I asked rhetorically.

"Wow! No wonder the door to your room is almost done for."

"When the heat started I was in the kitchen, so I managed to go to my room and lock the door, I d don't know where I threw the key."

"What is happening..?" Jackie asked. When we heard people shouting outside.

"The trials are starting tomorrow, I hope that bitch is ready." Meghan said bitterly. Yeah, Natasha's trails to become the Luna is starting tomorrow. I don't really know what it entails but I know that at the end of the trials she is expected to fight with a warrior and make sure she defeats that warrior an for her sake it wont be me.

"Come on let's go out."
