Double Back - Mistwater Chronicles #1

Chapter Eleven

Hey y'all! Hope you guys are enjoying so far :) Soon we're going to get into the good stuff but just need to build up to it with these chapters here, but trust me, the plot to this story is so explosive I can't wait to post the chapters (but I know I have to wait) :((

If you haven't noticed, I started editing the first couple of chapters of Ring Around, but I can't really get into it like I want until this entire story is done lol. But alas, I'm seriously having so much fun writing this story and I already started writing some of Lone Dancer heehee.

But anyways. I hope you enjoy this chapter and leave lots of comments. Don't be afraid to PM me or write on my message board :) Fans, votes, and comments are always appreciated.

xoxo,

Morgan

Breathing hard, I sit up on Zack's bed and try to blink back tears. I don't understand what just happened. One second, we both wanted each other more than anything in the world, and then the next he just got up and left. Why would he do something like that?

Getting up, I sigh and go back into my own room for once. Closing the door softly behind me, I peek at the clock and see that it's late. Pulling off my clothes, I change into a pair of comfortable pajamas and slide under the covers.

The next morning, I awake to the feeling of puffy eyes and messy hair. Tying my hair awkwardly into a bun, I rub at my eyes to get rid of some of my dried tears. Deciding I should get something to eat, I slide into a pair of slippers and walk down the stairs.

Zack isn't in the house - somehow, I can tell this. I think it's from the fact that he marked me, but I don't really want to think about the events of last night. How could something that wonderful blow up in my face like that?

Thoughts like these plagued my head all last night when I cried myself to sleep, and I know I shouldn't dwell on them, but it hurts. Does he not want me? Maybe I did something wrong?

Making myself some waffles, I put them into the toaster and wait for it to beep. When it does, I sit down and eat them, not noticing what they taste like in my mouth. I'm washing my plate in the sink when I hear voices and footsteps approaching the kitchen.

Listening in, I note that it's Adrian talking to Delilah. Hmm. Didn't know they were friends..

Leaving my plate in the sink, I decide to scurry up the stairs before either of them see me. Running down the hall, I go up two more flights of stairs and down several hallways before finding myself in a giant library.

Walking inside, I marvel at the tall bookcases and plush carpeting. My footsteps are masked as I walk around, quietly observing. I don't hear anyone else in here with me, making me think that this room is a good place to come to when I want to be alone. Slowly walking between the shelves, I realize all of the books on this shelf have to do with werewolves. Maybe they'll have something on female wolf heats.

Scanning the titles, I finally find a book that fits my purposes. Making my way over to one of the cozy-looking couches, I sit down and crack the spine. Flipping through the pages, I stop when I find a section on female wolf heats and pregnancies.

The illustration above the chapter shows a woman and a man obviously in the middle of making love. Her face looks like she's in absolute ecstasy, and you only see the back of the man's head. Grossed out, I look down past it and read the old pages.

The female werewolf, once marked by her mate, will go into heat every month. The very first heat usually begins shortly after being marked, sometimes as shortly as half an hour to an hour. Many mates have the male mark the female, and then have sexual intercourse soon after, which is why the heat begins so quickly. Unless she has had sexual intercourse with her mate, it serves as a magnet, attracting every mateless male werewolf to her. Heats tend to last at least three to five days, and the female werewolf is quite easily aroused. Her mate will find her irresistable, and both will feel the need to have sexual intercourse while around each other. The female, during her heat, may feel as though her body is too hot, and everything is much more pleasurable to the female during her heat, as she is ultra-sensitive to pleasure. It is also much easier to become pregnant throughout the heat, and female werewolves who become pregnant during this time are much more likely to carry twins or even triplets.
