Chapter 53
“She’s going into heat” he said simply. Dez’s eyes widened, and he swallowed glancing over at me. I bit my lip, I had forgotten about this part. I knew this happened every month and I knew it would happen if you held off mating, why didn’t I expect this?
I turned my attention from my thoughts to Dez and the doctor who I knew were communicating through the link, Dez looked worried and slightly angry as always. He finally nodded before the doctor turned and left and he went with him slamming the door harder than necessary, I stared at the door before my stomach flipped and I made it to the trashcan by the door and puked again, until I was just sitting on the floor dry heaving and crying. When I was done Atticus came took me back upstairs my vision blurred before I fell asleep.
I woke up to bile burning my throat I went and puked and then sat there for a little while trembling and crying. My head throbbed and I was so hot. I yanked my shirt over my head and laid on the cold tile floor, I laid there for a little while, just trying not to breath too deeply. My head hurt so much, I didn’t know if I could puke anymore, hadn’t eaten anything there shouldn’t be anything left in my stomach.
I laid there until I found the strength to get up, I brushed my teeth getting the awful taste out of my mouth, I got up and turned the bath on to ice cold and soaked in cold water for a little while. I got out and pulled on a soft sweater, even though I was still burning up. I was hungry, I went searching for some food, the light in the kitchen hurt my eyes so much. Dez was there he looked at studying me quietly.
“When?” I whispered looking up at him.
“2 days” he answered. I was going to go into heat in two days. I was dreading it, I would be in excruciating pain all day for four days. I didn’t think I could handle it. In fact I couldn’t, if I was this sick now, before I had even started. There’s no way I was going to make it through it. Not unless Dez and I mated…
“Are you going to make it stop?” I asked my voice sounded weak and wasn’t above a whisper, I begged with my eyes. He looked heartbroken, he looked torn and like it was hurting him just as much as it was hurting me.
He shook his head, and I bit down on my lip to keep from crying in front of him. I laid on the floor for the remainder of the day only getting up to puke, or to take off a piece of clothing only to have to grab a thick blanket 10 minutes later.
I was miserable, I puked every 20 minutes, my temperature went from burning up to freezing cold, my head pounded constantly and straining my body when I puked only made it worse. I was completely exhausted but I couldn’t sleep since I was woken up by my symptoms. I started getting worse andDez had to leave since my scent started changing so now it was just Atticus and I in Dez’s room, me curled into fetal position on the floor crying most of the time and Atticus sitting on the floor a few feet away his back against the wall just watching me looking in more pain than I was.

Chapter 53
I felt my skin start to heat up and eventually the blanket got so itchy and my skin got to clammy and slick with sweat I somehow found the strength to kick the blanket off, it helped a little I laid there closing my eyes my head pounded I felt like any moment it would split open.
I could feel my stomach churning with the need to dry heave some more. I swallowed hardly taking in a shaky breath. I got up and tried to puke and then brushed my teeth. I went back and sat down on the floor, I looked around realizing Atticus wasn’t there, I took his absence to strip off my sweater leaving me
in only a bra and panties.
“Kendal” I heard a deep voice say, I shivered feeling a small ache begin in my stomach I bit down on my lip looking to the doorway, Dez was standing there he shifted uncomfortably probably with my scent change. I adverted my gaze from him chewing on my lip. He came forward and picked me up handing me a shirt.
“Put this on” he murmured, taking a step back. I took the shirt from him frowning down at it, but put it on without question.
“Why?” I whispered as I pulled it over my head looking up at him in confusion.
“I’m sorry” he said softly looking down at me, I looked at him quizzically. I gave him an even more confused look. He crushed his lips to mine so fast I didn’t know how to respond.
I hesitated for a second the initial shock hitting me all at once. My body burned but it was more in a warm fuzzy, intense way that made a small moan escape my mouth that was now connected to Dez’s. Dez’s lips were so warm, I could feel the heat in my body slowly leave and his tight grip on my waist loosen, as the waves of pleasure radiating my body over took the uncomfortable hotness.
