Heat

Jasper's POV:

I'm currently bracing myself for information that I already know I'm not going to care to hear.

"After I gave Phoenix a bath, the day I was taking care of her, we were intimate. At some point, she must have accepted our bond. I could smell the change in her scent and in her arousal. She didn't act like she suspected anything different, but it is likely contributing to her fatigue. She has a month, maybe two at most before her heat peaks. There is no way to stop it that I'm aware of."

He pauses shifting in his seat before continuing. 

I'm trying to simmer down but of course I didn't like the news he just gave me.

Phoenix, my soul keeper, my whole world has accepted her other bond.

I tried not to think about her choosing him but it crept in the corners of my mind anyways.

I wanted to be mad at Phoenix for giving a part of her to him that I wanted for myself, but I knew that wouldn't do us any good.
