"Come here!" Danial barked and grabbed my arm trying to pull me against his chest but I smacked his hand away earning myself a questioning look from him.

"No!" I snapped and turned on my heel walking towards our bedroom door and turned the knob and opened it but Daniel was faster than me and slammed it shut before I could even step out of the room.

"Where in the hell do you think you are going?" He growled, his deep blue eyes dancing furiously with anger. I know I'm pushing all of his buttons but I don't care.

"Ummm downstairs?" I answered in a duh tone and went to grab the door knob again. I was exhausted from this back and forth but relief swam throughout my body when I realized that the heat I was in was the cause of my hormones going haywire.

"You will NOT! Not why you are in heat kitten." He snapped at first but his tone softened a little with each word.

"YES I WILL! Now MOVE!" I growled and felt my wolf threatening to take over, she was even more mad at him than I was, normally she gives in to him so the fact that she was on my side for once worked in my favor.

"You can't go down there around all of those unmated males, it won't make my wolf happy." He tried to protest and I shook my head. So? That's his own problem.

"Then he is about to be very angry!" I snapped and dodged passed him and opened the bedroom door and stepped out before he could stand in front of it again.

"Where are you going? What is so important downstairs that you just have to go down there?" He asked trying to remain calm but I could see his wolf threatening to take over at any given minute.

"To get some ice cream." I shrugged and walked down the stairs leaving him standing there frozen, I'm sure he wanted to follow me but for argument sake I'm glad he didn't. I walked into the kitchen where several males from our pack were seated at the dinner table and all of their heads snapped my way. I noticed their eyes darken as they sniffed the air. I felt my heart pick up speed and I regretted coming down here in the first place but I'm so damn stubborn and when he tells me I can't do something I want to do it even more.

"Hey Luna!" A guy named Shawn purred and I shivered in disgust not liking the way his eyes were trailing over my body but I tried to ignore it. I opened the freezer and grabbed a pint of ice cream and then opened a drawer and grabbed a spoon.

"Hey guys." I half waved at them and started to eat my ice cream moaning as it satisfied my taste buds and helped cool me down. Shawn gripped the table and let out a deep growl and before I could even think Daniel stormed into the kitchen, his chest heaving up and down violently. The look in his eyes was deadly, his wolf was in control and he was pissed.

Shawn and the other two guys Cameron and Thomas quickly turned their attention away from me.

"DON'T LOOK AT MY MATE..." Daniel roared making the windows rattle and I felt my core start to pulsate in approval. A wave of heat spread through my veins like wildfire burning for him and his authority.

"GET UPSTAIRS NOW!" He commanded me, meaning my wolf and I had no choice but to listen to him but instead of arguing with him I grabbed my ice cream and ran upstairs. Relief swam throughout my body when I made it into the safety of our bedroom. I was seething with anger that he commanded me like I'm one of his pack members well I guess technically I am but still. My and my wolf both are pissed as hell at him, her more so than me especially since I have Alpha blood in my system.

I crawled into bed and started to eat my ice cream again before Daniel barged into the room and closed the distance between us. He yanked my ice cream from my hands and threw it across the room before it smacked the wall smearing chocolate ice cream all over it.

"You went downstairs for fucking ice cream?!" He roared his chest rising and falling rapidly. I stare at him in shock my body trembling at the sight of him. I know he would never physically hurt me but seeing him this mad scared the shit out of me.

"I told you I was!" I feel tears threatening to fall from my eyes and I hate that I'm even about to cry when all I want to do is fight with him and be strong about it.

"Did you read their mind through their links? The things they wanted to do to you? I told you not to go down there and what do you do? You go anyways!"

"I am not some child Daniel I'm grown, I can go downstairs if I want to. Was I childish for going down there? Yes. Do I regret it? Also yes. But let me tell you one damn thing-" I narrow my eyes before pushing myself out of our bed rising to my feet before standing toe to toe with him.

"Don't you dare ever command me like I'm some bitch, I am your mate, your equal and you will treat me as such or you can find yourself a new mate if a submissive is what you're looking for." He lets out another chest filled growl rattling the windows of the entire pack house harder than ever before I'm surprised there was still glass there.

"Also I'm not picking that shit up either." I point to the ice cream that was melting onto the hard wood floor. Daniels eyes soften once he is back in control and they fill with regret. I crawled back into bed and pulled the sheets over my head and let the tears that were threatening fall make their way down my cheeks. I cry because I'm hormonal and sensitive. I cry because it seems like all Daniel and I have been doing is arguing but I know it's only because I'm in heat and am being an even bigger pain in the ass than usual.

"Kitten." I feel the bed dip from his weight but I don't say anything instead I cry harder.

"Stormy please look at me." He begs and pulls the blankets back away from me. I feel him wrap his arms around my waist and pulls me against his muscular chest and instantly my body reacts to his touch.

He doesn't say anything he just folds me against him and rubs my hair away from my face.

"I'm sorry I'm a piece of shit mate. You deserve better than me." He whispers and I hear the sadness in is voice and that makes me cry even harder. I hate that he feels that way because it's not true. Sure he is a pain in my ass but I love him and all he was trying to do was protect me but I just had to push him.

"No you're not Daniel. You are the best mate in the world. I'm a pain in the ass." I wiped the last few tears from my eyes and laid my head on his chest listening to his rapid heat rate thumping between us.

"Yeah but you're my pain in the ass. Are you okay Kitten? You smell different.." Daniel points his nose in the air sniffing me.

"Do I stink? It may be the heat..." I tilt my head in confusion. What?

"No you don't stink, I know what your body smells like when you're in heat but this? This is different, I just noticed it just now." Daniel sat up and focused on his senses which was starting to weird me out if I'm being honest.

"Your heartbeat sounds irregular too." He closed his eyes and focused on my heartbeat which confused me even more.

"Do you hear that?" His eyes pop open and widen twice their size.

"Hear what? What the fuck are you talking about? You're scaring me Daniel." I prop myself on my elbows and I felt my heart rate sky rocket as panic and worry settled in. Is he hearing something I can't?

"I hear another heartbeat, it's faster than yours but they beat in sync. Kitten I think you're pregnant."

"What?" How would he know before me? It's my body surly I would know first.

"Hear me out before you freak out-"

"Yeah fat chance of that!" I push myself out of the bed and start pacing back and forth around the room.

"You're in heat which already makes you want me more naturally, but you are hormonal and emotional too which doesn't usually come along with it. I can hear a second heartbeat Kitten. Let me call Dr. Travis and have him come up here." He pulls out his phone and his fingers go to work finding the pack doctors contact info before pressing the phone against his ear.

"Well don't be disappointed when you find out I'm not pregnant and that you're full of shit."
