“Sparkles, are you going into heat?” Blaze squeaks in horror, which on any other occasion would be amusing. Right now, it’s not. I’m terrified too.
The pain hits me hard and I cry out. I curl in on myself tighter, clutching my belly. This is not supposed to be happening. I’m not supposed to be in heat! This wasn’t the plan!
“I don’t know… Blaze, what do I do?”
I have to get somewhere safe. A nest. I need my nest!
Blaze’s breathing is heavy and the puffs of air fan across my face. His eyes are wide and his jaw tight, his nostrils flared as he sucks in lungfuls of my scent. “Fuck, Sparkles. I don’t know what to do with an Omega in heat!”
Heat is such a good word for this. My temperature has gone from zero to boiling so fast. My skin is sizzling, and the uniform suddenly feels like sandpaper as the sweat makes the fabric stick against me.
My lips taste salty as I lick them, trying to make my brain function. A warm haze is settling over me.
Alpha is here. Alpha will take care of me.
Blaze’s Alpha pheromones hang in the air, and I inhale them like I’ve just discovered what oxygen is for. The pain that was in my gut is being replaced by an insatiable hunger that is growing more desperate by the minute.
“Sparkles,” Blaze hisses.
His dilated pupils have engulfed his vibrant ice blue irises.
“Are you still with me? Fuck!”
I feel a stab of guilt that my Alpha is upset with me, but that only makes me feel a desperate need to please him.
I throw myself off the boulder and into his arms, burrowing my face into his neck and lapping at his mating gland desperately.
“Fuuuuuck.”
I moan when the bulge of his erection rubs against me as he shifts his weight. His chest feels so good under my fingertips, and I want to get closer to it, touch more of him, feel his body on top of me, inside me…
The heat between my legs grows to an agonizing pressure. My ruined panties are still balled up in my pocket from my romp with Shade, and my slick flows freely.
Another cramp explodes through me, the pain radiating down the insides of my thighs and spasming in my lower back. My heat has never come on so suddenly or painfully before. Cramping is normal, but it’s never been so severe.
“Please, Blaze,” I plead with my Alpha as I hug him as tight as I can. “Make it better.”
My hands grab at his uniform and I try to shove his jacket off him, but my movements are frantic and desperate and not helping anything at all.
Alpha grumbles, making a low, frustrated noise, and the sound makes my stomach flutter. I want to hear it again.
His hand covers my back, pushing me firmly into his lithe body, encouraging me to lock my ankles behind his back.
“Hold on, Sparkles. I got you.”
He breaks into a run, sprinting towards camp. He navigates the uneven forest floor with ease, his arms keeping me safe.
My body is growing hotter with every second, and I cling onto Blaze for dear life. My Omega is mildly placated by being held by him.
He’s fast, and we make it to camp in just a couple of minutes, despite the uneven terrain and lengthening shadows as the sun disappears beneath the horizon.
There’s a commotion, and he ignores the shouts that follow us as he heads straight into the bunkhouse. The swirl of the squad’s combined scents hit me like a drug. Both stimulating and comforting.
I whine and reach out for Blaze as he sets me onto my bunk. His features are set so seriously, pulled taut with strain that I barely recognize him.
“You’ll— Stay here. I need to get you water, blankets…” Blaze hesitates as his nostrils flare. His black eyes roam over me hungrily before he squeezes them shut and runs his hand over his head, tugging at the white streak in his hair.
He spins and leaves the tent, his movements jerky.
