The Heat

WARNING. 18+

It was everywhere… The whole body was on fire, it was in every cell and muscle. The fire took control of my body and my thoughts, and I was lost somewhere in an unknown place. A place, I was never before…

Aiden grabbed my hands, pressed them above my head to the bed, and looked into my eyes. I could easier see hunger, lust, and desire in his eyes, and as far as I remember, I never saw it in his eyes. How long has he been hiding all of this, deep in his head, away from me? I couldn't even imagine what was inside his body when he was close to me, hugging or kissing me all this time.

"That's the Heat, probably…" Aiden suddenly said, leaning closer and kissing my lips, still pressing my hands to the bed. I hugged his waist with my legs and pushed him closer to myself. Aiden's eyes changed from blue to amber, however, he was still trying to control himself and not follow his animal instincts. "You're making it worse, so you know that?"

"I'm not. I'm helping you to decide," I licked my dry lips, looking straight into his eyes. He leaned closer to me and our mouths were a few inches away from each other.

"Are you sure? Maybe, it's too early… Your memory just came back and…" I didn't let him finish his speech, just pulled him closer to myself and our lips met in a hot kiss, and there was no way back anymore. He started hungrily kissing me, sucking and biting my lips, playing with my tongue. Meanwhile, he put his arm down, and slipped under my back, seeking the bra zipper. It took him a few seconds to take my bra off, then he cupped my breasts, playing with my nipple, and kissing me.

I lost myself in his kiss again, trying to catch his tongue that was wandering in my mouth, studying every inch of it. He was more skilled in this process, or he just knew what he should do, following his instincts, while I was lost in actions.

"Just enjoy," he whispered to my lips, then broke our kiss and went with his kisses from my chin to my neck, making a wet ribbon of kisses. His hand slipped from my breasts to my belly, then under my panties, making me flinch. Aiden chuckled, "Relax…"

"You know I'm scared… I don't remember how it was… on the first time?" he stopped, took his hand out, then took my chin with his fingers, looking into the depth of my blue eyes.

"It was more fun than you might think. We both were too young. Not as we're now," he kissed my lips gently, and pressed me to his naked body, "Wanna stop?"

"No, I just… I just don't know what to do, and lying here on the bed while you do all the work… Hey, why are you laughing! Aiden!" In the middle of my speech, he suddenly burst into a laugh, embarrassing me. This made me feel the inner power of my wolf, so I freed my hands and rolled over, then sat at him, and put my hands on his bare chest. The fire I had in myself was ready to tear me into pieces, and I couldn't bear it anymore. I felt a roar coming from the depth of my throat, "Aiden Moon, you dare not to laugh at me!"

In a second, I found myself biting Aiden's neck right at the area of the mark I put on him a while ago, but the realization of me marking him again made no effect I expected. I was still burning from the inside, the roar grew louder, and I felt Aiden moan under me. It made me lose my mind, I jumped from the bed and ran to the forest, feeling my body changing while I ran.

I completely lost my head, everything around me was nothing but fog. It was hard to differentiate between where's the tree and where's the bush. I couldn't see anything in front of me, I didn't know where I was running. The only thought was to get rid of the fire burning me from inside and making me lose my head.

Suddenly, my senses alerted, and I realized someone was following me, but too late. I turned my head to the side where I sensed someone's presence, however, the big wolf of my size with snowy-like-fur jumped at me, pressed me to the ground, and roared loudly. My werewolf nose caught a familiar muscatel smell, and a sharp pain hit my neck twice today. I felt his fangs bursting deeper through my fur to my neck, and the fire inside my body started to slow down its mad race.

It's gone without the slightest sign it twisted my head, but my mind was still unclear. It was hard to concentrate on something, however, the only thing I could easily concentrate on was Aiden. I remember how I grabbed his head with my hands and kissed his lips hungrily, and that was the only thing I remember for quite good. The next thing that I remember was us lying on the bed, our bodies united in a wild hungry intimate dance, and our hot breath, pestering our skin.

I remember his loud moans when he turned me around, and I happened to be sitting at the top of him again. He helped me to lead the wild ride and our voices sounded like one. It felt good, and I remember how none of us wanted to stop.

"What was that?" I looked up at Aiden, taking my eyes off my father's diary, and at the same time making a long sip of coffee. My cheeks were blushing each time, thinking about yesterday's wild things. Aiden felt the same, I saw him blush a few times, and now he blushed as well when I asked. Well, yes, both of us know there's nothing to be guilty of and nothing to be embarrassed for, but still… It was quite unexpected and a bit wild, that's why both of us were blushing.

"The Heat," Aiden took a sip of blood, studying the pile of documents he grabbed from my father's desk. "The Heat is the name for the mating season when all werewolves become wild, and search for a mate or just have sex non-stop. That's a very crazy period of time, and I, as the Alpha, face it first. I marked you, and you felt it at the same time as I feel…"

"So the Heat just awakened our desires, and we were unable to stop, right?" I put the empty cup of coffee aside, then reached for his hand. He grabbed mine and squeezed it gently, then kissed the top of it, smiling.

"That's how it works. Also, I haven't told you, but we need to leave in this place for some time. Victor is waiting for us to attend Aaron's mourning. Also, we need to catch those strangers. William heard other packs start to whisper about our situation, and those whispers bring nothing good." Aiden looked at me with a sad smile. His facial expression made me put the diary I was holding in my left hand aside, and squeeze his hand to share my support and understanding.

"They can organize some… attack in order to have your first place in the hierarchy?" That question was asked not by me, but that was actually what I was about to say. Moreover, I already knew the answer somehow, and definitely didn't want to hear it.

"Indeed. That's how it works. We will make the camp and announce it in a way, strangers would certainly know where we are. There would be no best moment for them to attack us, and for us to catch them." Aiden shared his plan, holding my hand, then took a sip of coffee, "So we need to look faster since we're here."

"What actually should we look for? We found my father's diary, and he wrote there he'll answer all the questions we had and even more… so, what's another target of our attention?" I looked over the room with the crazy idea in my head.

{What if father hid something else here, like he hid the key in the teddy's belly?}

"The handwritten will where he gave you the rights to inherit this territory even without the actual Pack. As for now this territory still belong to him, even if he's dead," Aiden put the coffee aside, then sighed, "We can also go to his grave if you wish. It's not far away from here."

"I want but… I'm not ready yet. Let's… Let's start searching for his will, or any other useful things he left there. They say he left a lot of treasure for me here, so let's find it," I stood up and Aiden joined me. We cleared the dining table after ourselves, then went to search the whole hut over. I had a feeling we'll find a lot of useful things here, or I just wanted to feel like that.

"Dear Letty,

Thanks for not reading everything at once. As I said on the previous page of the diary you are reading right now, I changed your destiny by burning the Pack to ash. The reason is on the surface: until all of them were alive, your life was in danger. There could be any one of them who could decide to kill you, then me, and take the Alpha throne for himself.

So, now you have the understanding of two things, why you needed to suffer all of this to be happy, and why the Pack died.

However, there's one problem. Due to the werewolf pack rules, you can't inherit the territory of the Black Forest Pack and become the Alpha, as there's no alive Pack. For this case, I left you a handwritten will, where my Beta, Gamma, and Omega put their signatures. And, for no one except you to have it, the Will was hidden. It will appear at the proper time, so don't look for it. It will find you.

P.S. Check your old bedroom.

Your beloved father."
