"Thanks, Dax," I stroked Seraphina's back. "That means a lot to me." Dax didn't say anything; his Wolf stirred in the back of his mind, becoming antsy."What are you thinking, Dax?"

"Don't you find it weird? That Seraphina would wake up like that? That isn't in any of the books about humans turning into Wolves. She was supposed to be stark still, like not moving at all. Then she wakes up horny like a wolf in heat-"

"She is in heat," I interrupted."It is faint, but it's there."

"What does that mean? Is she alright?"I shook my head, knowing he couldn't see.

"Melody, we need to have her come to check on her."

Dax ran a border patrol with dad; they were extra cautious until one of the strongest Sorceress arrived from the north east; her name was Cyrene, and she rarely left the Black Claw Pack. Her coven resided within the borders and had become a close family friend to the Alpha and Luna.

As for Seraphina, I picked her up and carried her to the shower. She was still hot, and I was afraid another wave of her heat would come through, thank the gods it didn't. Her smell was intoxicating as always, and the hint of her arousal, along with the heat, made her irresistible. What would we do once she had a natural, full-blown Werewolf heat? I wasn't sure how we would handle it. Go at it one at a time, take turns? I've heard of some Werewolves not able to keep up with their mates during their heat, having to buy toys to rest their cocks.

That wasn't going to be us. We were damn Alphas, and I find that insulting having to use a damn dildo. Besides, the come eventually sates it, not some vibrating plastic rubber mess. Once I had cleaned her, I laid her on the bed with numerous towels. Covering her gently, wiping away all the soap and water, she continued to lay still. It was so still, one would think she was dead if it weren't for her heart beating lightly in her chest.

Grabbing one of my shirts, I put it over her head, tucking her back into bed. Her hair was wet, but I wasn't worried about her getting cold; the wetness would keep her heat at bay just a little longer.

"It's me," Melody's mind linked from the other side of the door. "Marcus is here too. Can he come in?" My fist clenched in an instant, but I let it go. He was mated, he would not succumb to Seraphina’s heat, but I couldn't help but be cautious.

The door opened without my consent; I growled at Marcus, who held up his hands and sat by the chair next to the door. "It's alright man, I don't smell anything anyway." I huffed, looking to Melody for help.

"I can barely smell it myself, Dimitri. It's alright. The bond is powerful right now; just remember mated Wolves won't be affected." I couldn't help but remember all the dirty things Marcus would do to she-Wolves before Melody. It took a good while before Melody even accepted him as a mate; thankfully, she had a good head on her shoulders.

It did help that Dad was breathing down Marcus's neck too. That was the longest six months of courting I had ever heard of for a Werewolf. "Let's see the patient," Melody chuckled, making sure to bring in her notebook. She hummed, feeling for Seraphina's pulse.

"Oh, Dimitri, she is so beautiful," Melody rubbed her fingers through Seraphina's wet hair. "Such a vibrant red," she whispered. "She got this from her mother, but her body is definitely like her father's. She was built for fighting." I crossed my arms, still not letting my eyes off Marcus. He rolled his eyes, laying back into the chair.

"When did you notice her start to become stronger? You mentioned she has thrown full-grown humans over her shoulder, but when did you really notice a vast difference?" I rubbed my chin, trying to recall when her power became so affluent.

"She fought a she-Wolf, the head she-Wolf warrior of this pack." Melody stood up at her full height, which wasn't taller than our mother.

"What?" Melody asked flabbergasted. "She fought a she-Wolf, and you let her?" Shaking my head, I sat next to Seraphina.

"Dax and I were talking to mom and dad; she ventured off and got in a verbal fight and ended up challenging some bitchy wolf. Seraphina won, but several warriors noticed the ground would almost glow when she touched it. Seraphina's shoes came off when I tried to drag her away, and BOOM! She kneed me in the nuts and threw Dax to the ground like it was nothing." Melody's eyes lit up, grabbing her notebook.

Flipping through several pages, her finger scanned a particular page with drawings of Elven ears and trees. "Elves are known to gain their strength from the ground. Even though Elves are a peaceful species, they are wicked strong. Seraphina having her feet on the ground meant she could use the earth. Her father is a full-blooded Elf, so Seraphina has to use her bare feet to get her strength." Melody scribbled some notes into her book. It was filled with chicken scratch lettering. Melody lifted Seraphina's hair, looking at her ears.

"Interesting, no pointed ears, everything else seems to be human-like. I'm so excited to see the human side disappear if she gets a Wolf." Melody closed her book, tucking Seraphina back into the covers.

"What do you mean if she gets a wolf?" Melody hummed and sat back on Marcus's lap.

"Just because you gave her the venom doesn't mean she will actually get a Wolf. Sometimes they inherit just the strength, speed, and claws. It is what the goddess Selene ultimately decides." I sighed, running my hands through my hair and then down my face. Seraphina really wanted a Wolf; I don't know what I would do when she woke up, and she wouldn't have one. I didn't even know it was possible not to have a Wolf once you were bitten.

"When will she wake up?"

"Hard to say," Melody put her head on Marcus's shoulder, who immediately nuzzled into her hair. "Maximum 5 days, but could be sooner. However, her having this heat is strange. I'm hoping she will wake up earlier."

"Yeah, when she wakes up randomly and jumps on me, it's kind of frightening. She's all like 'let me ride your cock'!" Marcus bursts out laughing, slapping his knee.

"No way!" He roared. "That's hella awesome!" Melody pushed out of Marcus's arms, rushing to me.

"What do you mean she woke up? She can't wake up!" She yelled.

"She did; she did it with Dax too. You can feel the heat on her skin!" I wanted to laugh, but Melody's concerned face had me faltering. Melody went over to Seraphina again, lifting her eyelids.

"Oh, that explains it." Her hand felt her forehead again before retreating.

"What?" Marcus and I both walked to the bed. My body was rigid, tight as her arousal began to seep into the room. "Her Wolf has control of her body to maintain the body temperature of her heat. You've been fucking her Wolf," she laughed out loud.
