*Annabelle's POV*

I groaned as I turned in my bed again. Isa had left the room for a bit as the doorbell rang. Yesterday definitely wasn't the favorite day of my life. Adam was right when he said the pain would be excruciating. Everything hurt and I felt sore all over. I had a constant fever and to make everything worse, nine out of ten times, my thoughts were all focused on sex.

Jesus Christ I didn't know my mind could ever get this dirty. I hadn't seen Adam much. I know he came home late last night with Will, but he slept on the couch. It hurt to the point where I had cried in Isa's arms. I missed him. I missed him so much.

I frowned as I heard Isa yell Adam's name. The door opened and a very dazed looking Adam stood in the door opening, taking me in.

Shit, did he lose control?

I frowned as he gave me a lopsided grin, "A-Adam what are you-"

"Shhh." He cut me off by shushing me. He walked over and flopped down on the bed. He then pulled me closer to him, "I'm here now. I'll take care of you."

My entire body responded to his touch, and I was debating whether to jump him or to snuggle closer and take a nap with him. I really had missed him, and just being in his arms calmed me.

"Adam I-" I tried to tell him about the heat and that we should keep a distance but he shushed me again.

His eyes started drooping as he gave me one last smile, "I love you, mate. I'm never letting you go again." He mumbled softly before he passed out.

What the hell? Did he not sleep last night or something.

I looked up and found both Isa and Will stare at us in confusion, "What just happened?" I asked in a soft tone.

Isa busted out laughing and Will sighed, "The idiot took wolfsbane."

"What?"

"Wolfsbane. It's poisonous for werewolves." Will explained.

I panicked, he poisoned himself?? "Is he ok?"

Will gave me a reassuring smile, "He'll be fine. Wolfsbane is a tricky thing. If we take enough of it, it will kill us. Injecting it into our bloodstream directly will knock us out within seconds and touching it will leave burns on our skin. However, if you have just a little bit of it, it will cut off your wolf completely, which is what the Alpha did."

I looked at Adam with a frown, "Why would he cut Cade off?"

"Because without his wolf his senses will be human. Right now he won't be affected by the scent of your heat, so he can lay beside you without losing control." Will explained further.

"Oh... but why?" maybe it was my fever, but I didn't get why he would do this.

Will continued to explain, "Mates heal faster when they're together. If he lays this close to you your heat symptoms will lessen. So he and his wolf decided that it would be best for you to take wolfsbane."

I blinked again. They poisoned themselves for me? So I would feel better. Suddenly I felt tears spring in my eyes and Isa was by my side to rub my back, "Why would he do something so stupid?"

Isa gave me a smile, "He loves you Anna. He would do anything if it meant making you feel better."

I sobbed and nodded at Isa telling her I understood, "He shouldn't though. I can deal with this myself too." I managed through my sobs. Damn, my hormones truly are all over the place.
