Chapter 71

What changed in the past week or so that had me feeling like that? Why did I want to spend time with him? Maybe it was my wolf. She was growing closer to Adan's wolf everyday and their bond was much stronger than a human's. The animalistic side couldn't be fought as easily as the human side. Could it just be that? That didn't explain the undeniable lust that coursed through my body every time I laid eyes on him, or the growing need to have him near me, to touch and kiss me.

In a second of sudden clearness, I shot up with my head in my hands. Oh, God. Please, please don't let it be that.

Richards's words filtered through my memory.

Soon you're going to go into heat.

It had started. Tucking my legs under my chin I rested my head on my knees and wrapped my arms tightly around them. Whatever was happening to me and whatever I was feeling must be the first stages of the heat phase.
