Moonlit Aroma

Chptr 1 Intoxicating

The sky was painted with vibrant green Aurora lights it was tradition for the Pack to watch the lights together. The lights were said to increase our connection to our wolves and mates if you have one. I was just ready to head back after last week's mess I was still feeling under the weather. Let's just say I never once thought my first rut would be so disappointing. Everyone pumped me up throughout the years saying that I'd become a man but I didn't even have the desire to act out on my rut. I felt my moods shift often not to mention the unbearable boners that plagued me during the two days. They recommended that I try to get myself off but it only caused me to become angry. My dad had been the only person who could talk to me without me going ballistic. Once my rut was over I felt fatigued but completely better and as soon as we come into the next week I feel like nothing but shit. I could tell my bestie Alexander knew that I was ready to go as soon as he began packing our things up. "It's like you always read my mind Xander." I said nudging him, he simply smirked and continued packing up. "I think we should leave before everyone heads to the lake especially if we are planning on getting some rest." He said finishing up handing me my bag. Whenever we come to see the lights we all shift and run together as a Pack to the lake where the howling begins. But since I've been feeling like shit my dad recommend that me and Xander just chill in my tent. Xander has been my bestfriend my entire life my dad encouraged us to get close. Stating that one day Xander could be assigned as my Beta, Beta's are very good at being resourceful, tactical, and just all around good at protecting. They are not affected horomonally like Alpha's and Omega's, not being affected by the scents or animalistic pull of an Alpha in his rut nor an Omega in heat. Which is why they are normally assigned to watch over either one protecting them from anyone or anything during these times. We began walking to the Pack house and I could smell that the Pack had just barely shifted into their wolves. Meaning we had way more time than we had expected. I just looked up at the Aurora's marveling at the intensity of their green color. "Wow your eyes they're glowing, they look just like the lights." Xander said in awe stopping In his tracks. "No way that's not possible no shifter has green eyes." I said shaking my head and before I knew it Xander's phone camera was in my face. My eyes were indeed the same color as the lights I instantly closed and opened them to see that my eyes were back to being brown. "I dont know what that was but it stays between us Hell I already had a janky rut. The Pack would throw a fit if they knew that my wolf's eyes were changing to an unnatural color." He looked at me processing my words and simply nodded in agreement. We made it home and I couldn't handle standing my stomach began to cramp feeling as if it was folding into itself. I let out a cry of pain dropping my bag to catch myself my hand landing on my stomach. My body began feeling beyond weak Xander threw his things down rushing to my side helping me stand. "We need to get you to your room asap." He said as he ushered me upstairs as gentle as possible. We made it to my room and he laid me on my bed rushing to my bathroom turning on the bathtub. As I laid there my stomach began to cramp again causing me let out a loud yelp. Which I was sure the Pack heard because Xander came rushing into the room with a beyond worried look on his face. "Are you ok and so much for sneaking away I'm pretty sure the Pack heard that. You sounded different I dont how to explain it but it made me have a feeling of sadness mixed with the need to protect you." He said as he fluffed a pillow for me. I didn't even know what to say I just felt weak, helpless and it hurt the Hell out of my pride. "It's ok just tell me what your feeling maybe I can run and get you something from the infirmary." He said trying to cheer me up, I described what I was feeling to him only to notice his eyebrow raise in confusion. He checked the bath water which was done and he helped me into the restroom. I got undressed after he left to get me some meds to help with my pain. I slid into the tub feeling semi relaxed as the steam from it hit my face. I closed my eyes leaning my head back trying to think about what could be wrong with me. The Pack doctor said that I was probably going into my second Rut but this felt nothing like last week. There it was again the pain before I knew it I was reaching for my shirt grabbing and biting into it. The pain was indescribable I could feel the tears streaming down my face. My body began to feel a little too hot and my skin felt like it was throbbing. I felt like I was melting and this hot bath wasn't helping. I unplugged it letting some of the water out turning on the cold water. Once the water became cold I turned it off feeling somewhat better but I was still hot. I felt my bodies warmth increasing the water began to become hotter. I quickly turned the cold water back on unclogging the drain. The cold water began to spread throughout the tub cooling me down temporarily. The water began steaming and it felt like the cold water was being heated as it was on its way to save me. I plugged the tub back up hoping Xander would hurry back so I could tell him to bring me lots of ice. My nose was soon hit with the smell of blood my eyes instantly went down it was coming from me. I let out a scream feeling my heart sink there was no reason for me to be bleeding. Especially from my ass as soon as I reached for my towl in came Xander out of breath. "I heard you scream is everything ok and I smelt the Pack they must have heard you too....." He paused sniffing the air then his eyes landed on me. "Your bleeding where?" He said ready to rush and examine me but stopping as I put my hand up. "I dont know what's happening to me but I need lot's of ice I feel too hot and did you get the meds for pain." He studied my face not wanting to let fact that I was bleeding go. He handed me some pills and a glass of water which was ice cold I tossed the pills back and took a good drink of the water which seemed to have increased in temperature. Xander noticed that the once ice cold glass of water was now piping hot like tea. He turned around to run and get me ice but ended up running into my dads chest. "Oh my gosh I'm so sorry sir." He said quickly getting to his feet and readying himslef to go get my ice. "What's going on in here and why did I hear you yelp and scream..." He stopped suddenly taking a whiff of the air. Causing my heart to instantaneously fall into my stomach. "Where is the blood coming from son be honest with me did you two do something you have no business doing." He said giving Xander the death stare leading the Beta to gulp. "Dad no nothing like that happened can you please let him get me some ice I'm cooking over here. I'll explain everything once Xander leaves please Dad I really need that ice." I said pleading with my eyes if my Dad didn't believe me I was sure he would have Xander neutered. For something he didn't even do we didn't have sex and there was no way Xander would be penetrating me. He moved to the side allowing Xander to pass him giving the Beta a side eye that would make anyone curl up into a ball. "So explain yourself now Teioh you already know I can tell when your lying." He said inching closer after he closed the door behind Xander. "Ok I was feeling like shit and Xander could tell that I wanted to come back to the house to rest but as soon as we got here my stomach began cramping like never before. Which is why I yelped and screamed he helped me up the stairs set me down on my bed and ran me bath water. He then went downstairs to get me pain meds while he was away my body began overheating to the point that ice cold water became boiling hot. Then I cramped some more and it was followed by blood I'm not lying to you Dad I promise. What's wrong with me why am I going through this I was told to look forward to my Rut this is nothing but pain and suffering." The words came rushing out and once I finished I felt weaker the hotness becoming unbearable. My Dad stood there thinking about and processing what I had just told him. "When he gets back with the ice I want you to cool down while I make a call." He said leaving the room in a hurry. I just allowed the water to drain away allowing the air to hit my wet body. Which was surprisingly efficient in cooling me down. I felt another cramp coming along and felt my hand go to hold my stomach. I could feel warmth coming out of my butt I looked down to see lot's of blood coming out of me. I felt myself going weak from the sight and I closed my eyes as I turned the cold water back on to wash it away. Yeah there was definitely something wrong with me was I dying? Xander entered the room with caution scared of what my Dad may have had planned for him. He had about eight bags of ice ripping them open and dumping them into the tub with me." Your still bleeding aren't you it smells stronger and sweeter than before." He said not realising how akward his statement made me feel. "Umm Xander what do you mean by sweeter?" I asked with a tone that let him know I was cringing. "I'm sorry I didn't mean for it to come out like that its just it doesn't really smell like blood anymore it's like it's changing into I don't know something sweet." He said as he ripped into a nother bag of ice pouring it over me. The ice was already begining to melt and I felt like it was no use. I got out of the tub with the litlle bit of energy I had and ran down the stairs hoping the cold, snow outside would help. As soon as I made it outside the cool air greeted my body with open arms. I just kept on running not caring if anyone saw my naked body. I made it to the lake which was frozen. I stood on top of the ice knowing that I was hot enough to melt it. Just as I was hoping the top layer of ice melted under me and I fell underneath into the water. It felt so good being surrounded by the ice cold water my body finally feeling as if my temperature was going down. I swam to the hole that I made into the ice and surfaced for air. As I got out I spotted my Dad and Xander running up to me followed by the Pack doctor. My Dad covered me in a large towl that wrapped around me. "Teioh we need to take you to a different part of the infirmary. We need to go now before someone gets a whiff of you because right now your smell is intoxicating." The Dr said behind gritted teeth. Why would I smell intoxicating when I was supposed to smell dominating.
