Belonging to a pack gave me a feeling of being not only needed, but wanted. Sure my friendship with JaeBum was great, but due to me not belonging to their pack, it was complicated, and Jisoo didn't deserve to have to constantly wonder about her mate. Not that there was any real hesitation, mates are pretty damn loyal by bond alone, but it's still hard. I never once blamed her for her hesitations about me. Here, however, I never felt like a nuisance. Not once did I feel like a burden. I felt part of something, something important. Even if it was just important to me, important none the less.

A few days had passed and NamJoon and SeokJin were working a lot. Once I didn't even see NamJoon come to bed, but I was waiting for him, like a good mate. We told the rest of the pack of our official status that very morning we were interrupted, and Jimin smugly turned to Taehyung holding his palm out. Tae pulled a $50 bill from his pocket slamming it down on Jimin's hand. Why anyone would bet against Jimin, I don't know.

I was outside in the garden alone and I was feeling really funny, I had for a few days now and I couldn't quite put my finger on what was going on. I had never felt this way before. As luck would have it, I heard the back door open, and Jimin walked out taking a seat next to me.

"Hey." He softly greeted me.

"Hey." I said back, not relaly wanting to talk, but not sure why.

"I know you aren't up for conversation, so I'll make this quick." I looked back towards him nodding for him to continue. "I know you're feeling weird, and since you haven't been part of a pack, and didn't have any female friends, I wanted to...enlighten you if you'd let me."

"Okay?" I replied not sure of what he was implying.

"You're close to your heat."

"Heat?"

"When you find your mate...the stars align and your body starts to work differently. You haven't actually marked each other yet, so its going to be different this time around."

"Um...I'm not sure I know what you mean."

He sighs and grabs my hand. "I'm sorry that I'm the one to have to tell you, I know my gift is a burden..."

"I don't think it's a burden." I interrupted him. "Not at all."

"I appreciate that, and I believe you." He smiled. "But what I'm trying to tell you, heat is when you get fertile in order to get pregnant."

"Oh."

"It's exhausting for more than one reason. One, your head thinks of nothing but sex, your mind will kind of play tricks on you. The thoughts you will have will intensify immensely. They will be your true thoughts...just...well magnified." He giggled. "And two, your body will crave it. It will become almost painful. Think of it as the equivalent of blue balls, if you don't get any."

"Blue bean?"

He laughed. "I've never heard that one before, but yes, blue bean. I'm telling you this, because your first heat wave is going to hit soon, I think tomorrow, and neither you or NamJoon will be ready. I know he's touched you, but I also know that it was just the once."

I nodded. He was right, obviously. "I've never had a heat before."

"That's because you havn't been around your mate before...I imagine it is going to be extremely intense the first time, since you're older."

"Oh."

"Don't do that."

"What?"

"Be nervous." He smiled. "You have a good Alpha...and he's been reading up on heats..."
