BORDER CONTROL

Chapter 7

MABEL ESTHER

When I was around sixteen or seventeen years old, I had a boyfriend or potential mate as wolves call it. We would go on little dates, we would train together, spend time together at night, and be each other's best friends. Of course, we knew someday we would both have our responsibilities and our own lives from being rogues, but it was nice to live in the moment with him.

There was a time when I thought he was my everything and we would be together forever. He was my first heated mate, it was amazing. I remember it like it was yesterday.

First, the camps came as I was sitting in the living room, I was feeling hot and angry. The noises around me were too loud and I could hear everything for miles.

As time went on that day, my potential mate was out hunting for deer with some of the other members. I knew that my heat was coming, but it came sooner than I thought. He said we would be there when it happened, but he wasn't due back for another four days. My heat would be over by then.

My headache and cramps made me bedridden for the rest of the night. Spinning in circles, I started to feel heat spread through. From my time seeing heat through other she-wolves, I knew what was to come.

Pain, Pain, pain, and more pain.

I ran water in the shower cold until I couldn't feel anymore. But numbness all around me. The teeth above my human teeth have ejected slightly, they pound my gums until I taste the metallic blood.

It continues to be this way for over an hour, my back sore from crouching over in the shower. I get out and decide to walk around the backyards near the woods. I knew it would be risky, but it was late at night.

My head pounds with each step I take, I feel the blood circling me in my brain. My claws come out and I feel the first bone being broken as I clutch my left arm. It swings back and I fall to the ground in agony and my right leg pops out of place.

I see stars above me, it is the middle of December and the snow has fallen. The snow that fell hours before was starting to melt below me from how hot I was. The blood from my mouth dripping down, the wolves will be attracted to this.

Young juveniles like myself are sleeping in tonight from the storm, but they will come out once they sniff out my heat and the blood oozing from my face. I need to get back inside.

My legs moved quickly as the next wave of sharp pain hit me, I made it inside through the back door of the small house near the pack. My lungs fill with air and I snap my back up to see a pair of eyes staring at me.

Pressure from my abdomen pushed me forward towards the male craving my attention. He sets the bag down on the kitchen counter and swoops me up in his arms. The TV that is on from before plays a wicked song in return the male throws me to the ground.

My bones shift uncountably and I am switching from wolf to human, from wolf to human until the male grabs me by the hair and drags me up the stairs to one of the rooms. I hear myself panting and groaning, but my sight is black.

My naked flesh is scratched from my shoulders to my lower back, I feel hot to the touch. The male hurdles us to the bed and throws me onto it.

I feel my legs being grabbed as my arms fail to hold me up. The male smacks my ass and touches my core. His fingers graze my folds and I shiver from the contact.

"Please, Bobby." I beg my potential mate to touch me more, "I need you... It hurts so bad."

He growls when I call his name, "I'm right here, baby."
