Kaia POV

"What just happened?" I ask breathlessly as Hector reverses the car out of the hiding space and back onto the small road.

He was in such a hurry to get some distance between us and the hut that he didn't even remove the tree branches from the top of the car.

As soon as he reversed out, the car gives a crunch noise and I'm certain the exterior roof has now been damaged.

"Let me just think. Oh yes, my wolf was banished temporarily while I had to hear about other males were better at keeping you safe." Hector growls as he floors the gas pedal, getting us as far away from the woods as possible.

"Do you believe what she said, about the white wolf being creating by the moon goddess to protect humans?" I ask as I strap myself in.novelbin

"What she says goes against my research, which means she could be telling the truth. That she actually did break away from the pack before they killed her for going against them..." I nod along to his words until I actually take note of what he just said. "I hadn't realised I had stunned you during training. Why didn't you tell me at the time?" I glance at him, a frown forming upon my face. Had I hurt him.

"I didn't know what to think of it, I didn't know if it was the mate bond...or something else. Now we know."

""Did it hurt?"

His eyes flicker to me before darting back to the road.

""Hector?" I growl.

""No it didn't hurt..."

"You're just saying that to make me feel better..."

"Why would I do that."

"Because I killed Samson, it was me that took his energy..."

"No, you might have weakened him Kaia, but I killed him." His hand lands to my thigh.

"Yes but..." I cut myself off when a pain shoots in my lower abdomen knocking the air out of my lungs.

I bend forward, trying to ride out the pain as Hector's hand moves to my back.

""What is it?"

"I don't know, I've been getting these pains now on and off for days...ouch." I groan out as the pain becomes more intense.

"You're burning hot." Hector states as he touches the back of my neck, concern edged in his tone.

"I feel cold!" I move back, lifting my body at a cost of real effort just to sit back in the seat.

I continue to watch the road, my hand held in Hector's as he tries to offer comfort each time the piercing pain comes back. Nausea rising into the back of my throat.

We enter onto a highway, Hector increasing the car's speed as he dominates the fast lane. I was grateful, I wanted to get back to either pack as soon as possible.

I'm not sure what was going on with me, I've never experienced pain like this before in my life. I could feel my skin was sticky, my clothes felt too tight all of a sudden. The cold chill that ran over me earlier had done a complete 180...making a hot flush spread across my body.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm burning..." That's when I notice it, his scent...it was heightened.

Mouth wateringly so.

He sniffs the air in the car, his own eyes turning to me was a haze of lust in them, he must smell my own desire upon me. Sense that throb that keeps vibrating in my lower core. "I'm driving as fast as I can..."

"I need you to pull over.." I moan, my thighs rubbing together to try and ease the dull ache building in my lower core.

"Kaia."

"Hector...pull over the damn car."

He can't we are in the fast lane on a busy highway, but he moves between lanes taking the next exit and parking the car in the service station car park.

I don't waste a second, I don't let him use an excuse to part from me...I need him, I need him now. I was in heat...I was in an alpha's heat. His mark had caused this and he would cure this. "Kaia..."

"Hector...stop...stop treating me like I'm going to break if you handle me too roughly. I have a broken head, not a broken heart..." I scream out in frustration, pulling at my hair as another sharp pain rides through me. Once again the pain takes my breath away. I close my eyes to ride out the pain when strong hands grip me and pull me over the central control system and on top of him.

"What are you doing?"

"Finally claiming what is mine."
