BLACKFOREST REIGN

CHAPTER TWENTY-FOUR

"Pat here are some towels"

Pran stated as he stood outside of the bathroom door.

He heard the door unlock and Pat popped his head outside before bringing his hand out.

"Thanks" he said once the door was shut, his voice echoing inside of the bathroom.

They only arrived a few minutes ago and the first thing Pran wanted Pat to do was hit the showers.

It had been a rough few days for him and Pran wanted Pat to have a good warm shower. It was only a few minutes after 12 midnight when they arrived home.

Pran thought it would be a good way to prevent a lot of people from seeing him.

From his scent, Pran could determine that although it would be hard for people to detect his hybrid scent through the new muddy forest covered scent, there was still that lingering smell of his hybrid scent.

For now they had to hope for the best and hope that no one would notice.

BlackForest was a town with different types of smells but there was always that one indifferent common scent that people of BlackForest had.

As many scents as there were around town, people of BlackForest always knew when a new visitor arrived.

Looking around the room, everything was organised well but somehow he couldn't help but feel anxious, like something was waiting to happen.

This was what happened whenever a bombshell was about to drop. Ignoring it, Pran navigated towards the living room.

It was quiet around the house today because Aran and his sisters weren't around. They were back at the orphanage centre which Pran enrolled them in a week ago.

He only takes them when he's not busy at the High Council and has time to spare. Pran thought it was for the best to place them there and wait for a family to adopt them.

Aran had been sad but Pran had promised him they could come visit anytime they wanted, and whenever he felt like talking to him, all Aran had to do was ask one of the ladies for a phone call.

On the kitchen counter, he found a plate. Opening it he found it wrapped with food.

Next to the plate of food, was a jar full of enriched thick red blood for Pat. He had called them earlier to prepare their dinner well in time.

The room was strongly scented by the smell of Pat's shower shampoo. Pran shut the door and walked further inside their bedroom.

He glanced towards the towel that Pat used, he had a habit of leaving his clothes and things lying around.

Taking it with the intent to throw it on the washing basket, Pran halted in his actions.

He brought the towel closer to his nose and took a huge whiff of Pat's scent as if it was one of the most normal things to do. He had picked up this habit whenever he missed Pat.

This was how he was able to control his heart from exploding because of missing Pat, the few days he had been in the forest.

His scent comforted him through the night. He placed down the towel and walked towards the bathroom.

He staggered a little in his steps when suddenly out of nowhere dizziness came over him. He quickly balanced himself against the door, as he shook his head a little bit.

When he was about to take a step he fell down as he felt his feet getting weak.

"What is happening?".

He felt his body getting weak, dizzy and feverish as seconds went by. He was feeling hot everywhere. When he tried standing up he flopped down.

"Heat, You are in heat"

Cesor stated. Pran's eyes bolted outside of their sockets.

"Wh - what? Heat? Me? How?"

This was new to him and he couldn't make sense of the situation.

"What do you mean, how? You are a wolf, you are an alpha. Obviously you get into a heat" Cesor mentioned.

"I can't let Pat see me like this. I have to cool down" he stated as he crawled towards the bathroom.

How could he be in heat at a time like this? What could have possibly triggered his heat. This was his first time. How did it happen? How did he get into heat so suddenly?

Pran crawled until he got himself inside his shower. He turned on the shower and cold water poured down to him.

The heat seemed to subside for a little while, and the hotness he felt inside him all seemed to simmer down and that's when he got on with his shower.

Heat was normal for wolves, especially omegas. Alphas get them once in a while. But this was something Pran hadn't been ready for.

He knew wolves went into heat but the fact that he just got his heat was sudden.

Wolves in heat normally needed their partners to help them through it but his current situation of being mated to vampire didn't help.

Pran couldn't help but doubt that Pat knew anything about heat since he himself was a vampire.
