Four days. Four long, sex fueled days before it started to ease. I had to put Eric in charge of the pack, I had to tell Klaus that Neah’s tutoring would have to wait. Four days where I had no idea what was happening in my pack because all I could think about was fulfilling Neah’s needs.

Sprawled out on her stomach, she is fast asleep in bed. It was the first morning since her heat began where her arousal levels had dropped and her usual lavender scent filled the room. Pressing my hand to her bare back, I could feel that her temperature had lowered too. Another sign that this heat was over. She could finally get a decent sleep.

Finally.’ Aero mutters You were the one looking forward to it.’ I mutter back Not all the tears.’

She was overwhelmed.’ I mutter in annoyance. ‘She is sore, her body aches. You try being in heat for four days straight after you've only had sex once.’

He doesn't answer me. Neah doesn't wake while I shower. She shuffles about in the bed a little, but her eyes remain closed, soft snores escape her.

Kissing her on the cheek, I leave her to sleep and make my way down to my office. I didn’t like being out of the loop when it came to my pack but I knew they were in good hands with Eric.

He is already sitting in the office. His head in his hands. As his jiggling knee repeatedly taps the desk. “Everything alright?”

It's over?” He asks, "Please tell me you are done!” holds text © rights.

“Yes, four days and she is finally out of heat. Is everything alright?”

“Four days is a long time.” He was purposely skirting the question.

“Devon did say it lasts longer. She’s asleep and probably will be for some time. So what is the problem?" He won't look directly at me. “We have a guest.”

"Who?"

“Madame Curie.”

‘The last time I saw her, she wanted nothing te todo with my situation. 2 Now yéu are telling me she is here and I wants to help.” I mutter, marching across the grounds.

“She says she has valuable information.”

“Well it's a bit late, Neah is no longer bound.”

“That's what I told her.”

“You told her and she still thinks she has valuable information? I'm guessing she has a price, she normally does."

“She didn't say, but she has been stressing me out since her arrival.” Eric mutters. "Though my boys love her.

“Why did you think she should stay at yours?”

“Would you rather I let her stay in the pack house? It wasn't like you just stayed in the bedroom.” His lips curve up at the corners.

“If I remember correctly, you got caught fucking Kelsie in the janitors cupboard at school and privacy doesn't bother me.”

‘Anyway,’ He mutters, “I told a Madame Curie that we already I know about Neah, that the truth has ¢” already come out. But she said there’ s more.” -

We stop in front of his house where we could hear his boys laughing on the other side of the door.

“Aloha Dane.”"Madame Curie pulls the door opetrto us. “I’m glad you could make-it, I know you have bee? a little..." she looks back at the boys and than at me. “Busy. Maybe this conversation isn't suitable farthe boys. "_ S

“Boys.” Eric mutters, “Go to your grandparents.”

They protest, but eventually leave. Eric doesn't move until he seems them enter their grandparents house. “The last time I saw you, you were hurrying away.” I groan, taking one of the chairs at the small kitchen table. “Yes, And I'm very sorry I left that way, Alpha Dane. I was not prepared to discuss Moonshine with you.

“And you are now? I know about Neah, I found a way to unbound her.

“I have been told. But what you don’t understand is that Neah has been bound more than twice.”
