Chapter No 5 Heat

“So you need to sing as a test?″ said the short-haired girl who was a member of the school band. She had a pixie-purple haircut.

She got up on the stage, ’Hello I am Althea, I am going to sing, ‘Call me maybe by Carly Japsen’,” she said smiling.

The music starts.

I threw a wish in the well, don’t ask me, I’ll never tell......she started singing. Her voice was surrounding the school hall. Jacob was sitting with Gena outside of the audition room; he smiled. Nobody knew who was singing. Jacob smiled because he knew.

“Who is she? I mean her voice is so beautiful,” said Gena.

“That’s my cousin, Althea,” he said, smiling.

“So music runs in the family?” She said while looking at him flirting, Jacob was also a singer and he was here to give an audition.

“Many more things run in the family if you want to see them on the bed’,′ he said while getting closer to her.

Tyler was passing by with Julia when he heard her. It was the first time she was singing publicly,

“This voice, it’s beautiful,” he said in a whisper. He stopped by but Julia was insisting him to leave with her.

“Come on, what is happening to him today? That bitch made my day miserable and now this some random bitch,″ Julia thought angrily.

“We should have some fun, why are you listening to this mess,” she said, annoyed. He turned and walked away. Jacob was looking at them and he rolled his eyes.

“Who are they?’ Asked Gena.

“It’s my cousin Tyler with his stupid dumb girlfriend,” he said annoyed.

“She is his girlfriend? Why on the planet does a good-looking man like him date that shit,″ she said annoyed.

“Great,” he said in a huskier voice.

“Amm, someone is jealous,” she said mischievously.

Her song was over and she came out, Jacob was sitting on the couch too.

He got up and clapped, “Well done partner that was amazing”, he said smiling.

“Hey Jacob, are you here for the audition?” She asked happily.

“Yeah, I am but there is a problem,” he said.

“What happened?” She asked worriedly.

“As you know the song I have written is not solo so I will need a female lead to sing along, and my girlfriend Gena cannot sing so I need a singer and here you are, you sing so well,” he said smiling.

She greeted Gena. “I? But you are also a good singer, how would I stand by you?” She said awkwardly.

“I trust you, your voice was so beautiful when you were singing, even a passerby with his airhead girlfriend stopped by to listen,” said Gena smiling. Jacob had a mischievous expression on his face.

“Tyler? Am I right?” She asked.

“Yeah he was here with Julia,” he said smiling.

“Can we go somewhere quiet?” She asked.

“Yeah but first tell me you would be my partner?” He asked, smiling.

“Okay fine I would be your partner,” she said exhausted. They walked slowly out of the school.

“What is it? You want to tell me?” Asked Jacob.

“Tell him only your incident with Tyler not about the heat now because Gena is here,” said Lilly.

“I saw Tyler making out with Eliza this morning in the library,” she said awkwardly.

“What?” asked Jacob, he was jaw-dropped, and then both Jacob and Gena laughed uncontrollably.

“You saw them making out. I mean this would be the last thing I want to see,” said Jacob.

“And I made them notice me,” she said embarrassed.

“You gotta be kidding me,” he said laughing.

“Yeah laugh now,” she said, annoyed.

********

She was standing outside of the school when it was raining; Jacob had gone to drop Gena in her car. She was waiting for him when she felt a very sharp pain in her body. Tyler was passing by his car. The pain had made her blind; her whole body was on heat. Jacob was coming towards her when he saw her like that, even Tyler had noticed her, and she turned to Jacob.

“Jacob,” she called his name and collapsed into his arms.

“Althea?” Called out Jacob but she was faint.

Tyler, who was standing twenty feet away, was watching it all. He mind-links Jacob.

“Take her home, it’s raining already,” he said and sat inside his car.

“I am taking her home,” he said by mind link. He could feel her body was so hot. He lifted her up and took her to Gena’s apartment.

She opened the door.

“What happened to Althea, is she okay?” She asked worriedly.

“I don’t know Gena, she collapsed,” he said worriedly. He placed her on the sofa.

“Let me check her,” she said.

“But you are not a doctor, how?” He asked.

“My parents are pack doctors, I can check her,” she checked her veins. After fifteen minutes, she got up and smiled mischievously.

“Has she found her mate?” She asked.

“No she did not” he replied,

She smiled even more.

“What happened?” He asked curiously.

“Your cousin is in heat Jacob,” she said while looking into his eyes. Jacob was staring at her like he heard Althea is pregnant,

“Amm well… heat, I mean great,” he said awkwardly.

“Sometimes happens, her wolf wants to get laid with her mate, so that’s why she is feeling the heat, it happens to female wolves for a week to 21 days and after that, they stop feeling heat until the next cycle,” she said smiling.

Althea got up from the sofa, “What happened? I, I got collapsed” she said.

“Where am I?” She asked.

“You are at my place,” said Gena.

“Jacob I am sorry, I was in so much pain that I fell,” she said embarrassed.

“No it’s okay Althea,” he said awkwardly.

“She is in heat, this is embarrassing how would I tell her this, I am feeling awkward,” he thought.

“Don’t worry Jacob, I will tell her” said Gena. He left the room.

“Where has he gone?” She asked worriedly.

“He will be here after a while,” said Gena. There was an awkward silence in the room.

“Okay, Althea since when you are feeling heat and pain?” She asked.

“How do you know about this,” asked Althea, shocked.

“My parents are pack doctors, they taught me a lot about it and even I want to become a doctor too, I checked up on your nerves and that concludes you are on heat, since when you are feeling it?” She asked politely. Althea feels embarrassed, so she tells her everything.

“So you have been feeling it for a week?” She asked her. She nodded.

“Okay, do you know what it is?” She said, politely.

“No,” Althea said while looking away.

“Your wolf wants to make love with her mate, it’s a cycle that happens to every werewolf when they find their mates, have you found yours?” She asked, smiling.

“No I did not, and I am sure my mate is not from this pack and if he is then he will reject me for sure,” she said sadly.

“Hey, don’t think like that moon goddess does not make a bad decision, if she gives you these eyes, then she had reasons,” she said smiling,

“Your eyes are unique,” she said, winking at her. Jacob came in after a while.

“So you did tell her?” he asked awkwardly, she nodded.

“Althea, you okay?” He asked her awkwardly.

“Oh come on Jacob, you are reacting like you never had an adult talk. I mean you guys are best friends,” said Gena.

“We did, but my friend is in heat,” he said.

“Every werewolf woman does, even I will too if I will find my mate, but this is strange, she has not shifted yet as you told me, and she is not 18 how can it be?” She said and Jacob coughed.

“Maybe it’s because of her eyes you know she’s different,” he said smiling.

She was still in thought. Jacob gave Althea a sigh. His Phone rang, he answered the call and got out of the room. After 5 minutes he came back, his expressions were surprisingly happy.

“What happened?” Asked Althea.

“Guess what? I am selected for the school’s upcoming show where I have to sing” he said happily.

“Wow that’s good news,” said Gena clapping as she walked towards him and kissed him over his cheek.

“Now I have my female vocal lead too and that’s you,” he said while pointing at Althea. She smiled.

It was raining outside, Viviana was at their place today, and she was playing with Collin. They were playing princess and price.

“Althea, look I am the princess” called out Viviana. She put her book down and smiled.

“You guys remind me of Jacob and me,” she said, smiling.

“Really Jacob and you used to play?” Asked Collin.

“Yeah we were best friends since childhood,” she said.

“So, he would be your mate too?” Viviana said.

“No he is a very good friend of mine, I never felt something like that for him,” she said while smiling widely. Then she heard a mind link.

“Althea, Viviana is at your place?” Said Luna.

“Yeah, she is” she responded.

“Can you bring her home, I would have come but we had an urgent meeting with a fellow pack,” said Luna.

“Yeah sure I will bring her when the rain stops” she responded.

“Your mum wants you at home princess,” she said to Viviana.

“Okay Collin, I will see you tomorrow at school my prince,” she said and kissed Collin over his cheeks, he turned bright red. Althea was shocked and then she laughed.

After 20 minutes the rain stopped. “Okay Collin I am going to drop Vivi at home, I will be back soon, Mommy is on a pack meeting with Dad and Alpha, so you better be at home,” she said to Collin. He nodded and she left.

She drives Viviana to a packed house in her new car Jack gifted her.

“Here Princess we are home,” she said and got out of the car.

“Don’t you want to come in?” She asked innocently.

“Sweetie, Jacob might not be home, what will I do?” She said smiling,

“Only Jacob is your friend? Not me?” She said innocently. Althea laughed and said.

“Okay I am coming,” they both walked inside the big mansion. Viviana took her inside her room; the room was so pink.

“You like pink?” She asked.

“Yeah I do, I am a princess,” She said happily.

“What do you like?” She asked.

“I like purple,” she said. “Wow that’s close to pink,” she said, smiling.

“Okay it’s getting late honey, it’s already 9 O’clock, I have to go home,” she said. Viviana came closer to her and asked her to kneel. She kneeled. Viviana kissed her cheek.

“You are the pretty girl in the pack, especially those eyes of yours, they are just jealous,” she said softly, Althea smiled and slowly hugged her.

“Thanks, princess,” she said softly with tears in her eyes. Everyone had always mistreated her, but there were few people who loved her and those people were her real family. She smiled at her and said, “Sleep well” and she left the room.

She walks slowly trying to find the way out. She never had walked around the pack house, she had only been in Jacob’s room and Regina’s room.

“Shitty place, this is too much huge,” she thought annoyed.

“I think I should call Jacob to tell me” she dialed his number.

He was kissing her deeply as deep as he went she moaned, “You are my real wolf” she whispered.

She moved her finger around his hair. He pulled her hair. They were so much in pleasure; she could feel every inch of his skin. She kissed him over his cheek. His phone was ringing, He tried to grab it but she pulled him towards her, and it fell off the bed. She hugged him and he had gone lost in her again.

“I wish you would be my mate, I am so in love with you,” Gena said in a whisper.

“I have loved you too, Gena, since the day I saw you,” he said while taking breaths, heavily. He moaned. She kissed him deeply and they both gone lost in each other. The phone was still ringing.

“Damn Jacob!” Althea said. She started looking for a way of her own. She decided to mind-link Luna, but as for a pack law she was unable to send a mind-link, as she was considered a rogue, she could only mind-link those she was close to.

She tried to contact Jacob with a mind link, but it looks like he had blocked everyone. She rolled her eyes. She walked towards the nearby room and knocked.

“Maybe this room, I can ask someone to tell me the way out,” she thought.

She knocked on the door, but there was no response. She pulled it, and it was opened.

“Hello, anyone in there?” She called out but there was no response.

Someone was taking a shower in the bathroom. She walked ahead and called out “Hello”.

She looked ahead and the horror was hanging on the wall laughing at her arrogantly.

“I am in his room,” she thought and panicked. She turned to leave but the door behind her was closed, Door had an automatic lock that could only be opened by the key. She felt her feet numb.

“He will eat me up alive if he sees me here, what can I do? Jacob, where are you always when I am in trouble?” she thought annoyed.

She was trying hard to open the door; she took her hairpin and tried to open the door. But the door was not opening, so she got up and whispered.

“Why on the planet this jerk had to put an automatic lock on the door?” she whispered.

But suddenly she felt a very cold stare over her back. She turned and she was startled. He was staring at her with a very dangerous expressions. She felt her legs numb, she always felt vulnerable in front of him.

He was standing arms crossed; there were water drops over his chest. He had wrapped a towel around his waist. His jet-black hairs were messing over his forehead. He was staring at her with anger.

“I, I had gone lost and ended up….” She muttered something. He walked ahead closer to her, looking into her eyes. She felt her heart pounding. He was so close that she could feel his breath over her face, it reminded her of the night in the woods, she was drawn to him, but she knew it was wrong.

He was so close like he was about to kiss her, she closed her eyes, but then she heard a clicking sound, the door opened.

“Leave,” he said expressionless, she felt relieved and ran out of his room.

He smiled and after a second the smile fades away.
