CHAPTER 43. Sweet Scent

  ?

  “What is that sweet scent…? Is that coming from you?” Cassian asked hesitantly but his grip around me had yet to loosen.

  “Please let go…” I struggled to even say, tugging my hand with whatever strength I could fathom.?

  Cassian’s alpha scent was driving me to the brink of madness as I could feel my body start to tremble before him. I was so preoccupied with thinking about how I was going to get away from Cassian that I had not realised that my heat arrived earlier than expected.

  “Is this…” he started before realisation caused him to recoil from me. He backed away significantly, acting as though I had the plague.

  I was grateful that he did so, as I took backwards steps until the back of my legs bumped into the couch. I flopped down, hand clutching onto my dress as I struggled to breathe properly. “It’s my heat.” I told him between heavy pants.
