"Tell me more about her," Count Wolfgang asks leaning forward, I take a sip of my goblet and sigh.

I am in a meeting with the council of bloodsuckers to discuss my wife, they also want to meet her and I know once she wakes up she will hunt me down.

"There's not much to talk about," I reply to Count Wolfgang, he is one of seven members including me.

The doors of the dining room bursts open and Evelyn struts in wearing a tight lace black dress that stops mid-thigh. Her feet are bare and her hair wild, she narrows her eyes at the council buts doesn't give them a second glance.

"Rest well my love?" She stares at me and I know she was mad I left her but it won't last.

She walks over to me and sits on my lap grabs my wrist and starts drinking my blood purring as she does. All the men stare at her as she sucks my blood and looks surprised when I have a rich cup of blood in front of me.

"She only drinks the king's blood because their blood is the same," Oxford says walking in and sitting to my right, I smile at him.

"Have you tried feeding her human blood?" Count Adler asks, I roll my eyes.

"I haven't tried anything yet, I'll try though." I lift my glass and stick it under her nose, I see her nostrils flare then she turns away from my glass and continues to drink my blood.

"But aren't you worried she will hurt you?" Count Jacob asks, he is worried about health and well-being.

"No. She won't kill me," Count Jacob nods, he doesn't fully believe me.

"Anything else?" Count Wolfgang asks, Oxford looks at me and I nod letting him talk, after all, he is the doctor.

"The Queen is connected to instincts and doesn't have normal human functions, like talking and wearing clothes. She does on the other hand seem to understand what the King says and responds with sounds or faces much like an animal." Oxford explains, Evelyn stops drinking my blood and licks her lips before leaning against my chest.

The counts take in the information and stare at my love earning themselves a hiss from her. I hide my smile and compose myself before looking at Adler.

"Spit it out." Adler sighs being caught and looks at me then Oxford then me again.

"What about children? Can she have any and if she is able when should we expect them?" Adler asks, Oxford smirks at the questions and I hide my rage.

"Her body can bear children but we don't know if she can have any yet. The Queen is still adjusting and we are learning about her," Oxford says knowing I am the final dictator.

"Whenever I see fit and my love is ready," I answer with a stone face, Jacob nods nervously and Adler only nods not showing what he is thinking.

"Thank you, you are dismissed. We will have a meeting soon," I say, all the council members stand and bow to me before exiting the room.

I sigh and stare at my love, she is staring out the large window and watching the snowfall.

"Your Highness?" I turn to Oxford, he looks nervous.

"Yes?"

"As I said earlier the Queen is in great health but I have a suspicion that she will go through something similar to heat on the half-moon." I frown and my love perks up and stares at Oxford after he finishes.

She points outside and I look and see the sun going behind a mountain, I look back at Evelyn.

"What's the matter?" Oxford starts mumbling and pacing back and forth making me nervous.

"Tonight's the half-moon, my King." I stare wide-eyed at him,

"How long do we have?"

"A few hours. The sun needs to be gone before the heat will take place." Evelyn looks at me slightly alarmed and I give her a small smile.

I stand up and Evelyn slides off my lap landing on two feet gracefully, she glared at Oxford before walking out the door and I follow closely behind.

She seems to know to go to our room and lies in the bed like a Queen, I root through her wardrobe and find a pair of shorts and a light red crop top. Oxford walks to the tub and starts preparing the area with towels and cloths.

Oxford and I get ready and we wait.

I hear a piercing scream from our room and I feel the urge to go to her and help her out. I comply with my urge and find her already in the shorts and shirt I set out and is laying in the bed with tears rolling down her face.

She looks at me and whimpers quietly. I walk forward and she jumps into my arms and clings to me, purring at the contact, I have no clue what the hell happened but it worked.

"Come on." I walk to the tub and turn the tap on putting cold water into the tub, I start to move her to the tub but she holds on tighter.

Looks like I'm taking an ice-cold bath.

"Let me change. I will be back in a minute, stay here." I slowly put her in the tub and walk to my closet.

I changed into a pair of shorts and return quickly, my love stares at my chest before yanking me into the tub and laying on me.

Oxford comes in after a few minutes and turns off the water and hands me a pillow.

"For your neck," I nod and put the pillow behind me.

"What's going to happen?" I ask, I know the basics of heat for werewolves.

The females go into heat which makes them feel pain, it lasts the whole night and the only way to stop the heat from coming back every month is for the couple to consummate.

"She will be in pain and being close to you relieves some pain but to stop it. . ." Oxford trails off, I know what he means.

"Anything else?"

"She is at her weakest now and can feel temperatures a little and you will also have your instincts heightened until the heat is over." I nod and Oxford bows quickly and leaves telling me to holler if I need anything.

An hour ticks by before Evelyn does anything but lay on my chest and play with my fingers.

At the three-hour mark, she is pacing back and forth dripping wet on the bedroom floor. Her eyes have a wild look to them and I have to restrict myself from holding her in my arms.

The night goes by painfully and I don't do anything but hold, my love, we're both not ready for the next steps in life. She just changed and I am not ready for little tikes.
