Celeste's POV
   I woke up with a huge headache and the feeling of something wrong. I opened my eyes and immediately noticed what was wrong. I was in someone else's room. Xavier's dark furniture and walls weren't these ones and his scent wasn't here. Where was I?
   My heart started to beat faster as I fully took in the fact that I am not in mine and Xavier's room.I jump when a hand is placed on my shoulder. I spin around and calm down when I see Zay.
   "You're okay Celeste," she says. I wince because of the headache I have. I look around the room hoping to see Xavier but instead I see three other people. Jared, Xavier's Beta, stands leaning against the wall by the door. Josh is fast asleep on a chair by the window in the room looking even more like a child then I usually do. Jake is near him not wearing a shirt like the other two boys. I see his huge scar that runs across his chest and look away. I know that the rogues that were after me were the ones who did that to him.
   "Where's Xavier?" I asked, my head pounding and I was starting to get this awful feeling in my stomach. I laid my head down, hoping for the pounding to go away. "How did I get here?"
   "Don't worry he will be here soon." I looked back up and realized that despite what she said, in her eyes I could see that she didn't actually know when he would be back. "And I brought you here. Xavier mind linked Jared to bring you here but Jared didn't think that he would actually be happy with another male touching you." I nodded and covered my ears.
   I tried to think of anything that could make my headache go away. I let my thoughts drift to Xavier but the headache only got worse. The ache in my stomach didn't improve either. I heard Ancillary whine in pain inside my head.
   "Shit," I heard Jared, I think, mumbled. "Can you smell that Zay?" I peaked up at her again and she nodded.
   "I know. I just mind linked Xavier. He's freaking out now. Are you sure you guys want to stay in here?" My eyebrows scrunched together in confusion. I hate it when they talk about things without actually saying what they are talking about.
   "We'll be fine." Zay turned away from him to look at me and gave me a nervous smile.
   "Is your stomach hurting?" I nodded and winced.
   "Xavier got the rogues," Jared said with a nod, as if confirming it to himself. "I'll be back. I have got to go help him drag them to the cellars." Jared pushed himself off of the wall and walked out of the room. Now I was really confused. What rogues?
   "Zay, what's happening?" She gave me a sad smile and pulled me to her side, running her hand over my hair in a motherly gesture.
   "Some rogues got in the territory about an hour or two ago. Xavier went out for a run and he over heard a conversation between then. They were talking about how they were planning t-"
   "Don't scare the poor girl," Jake cut Zay off. Zay nodded, agreeing with him. My stomach was really hurting now. I bit my tongue to hold back a whimper that wanted to escape my mouth.
   "Zay, my stomach hurts." She looked down at me with sympathy.
   "I know sweet heart. Have you ever been in heat before?" That's what was happening? I was in heat? But, I thought, it has never hurt this bad before. I nodded towards Zay. "When you meet your mate it intensifies a bit. So it may hurt now but you will be fine as soon as Xavier gets back." I nodded again and leaned  my head on her shoulder, closing my eyes.
   What felt like hours of stomach pains and a constant headache later, Xavier burst into the room. His eyes landed on me immediately and his eyes turned black. I closed his eyes tight and when they opened again they were their beautiful green. I looked him up and down and I saw blood on his clothes. It wasn't much and luckily it wasn't his. The pain in my stomach worsened and a whimper managed to escape my lips.
   Xavier walked over to me and picked me up bridal style. The pain in my stomach vanished almost completely. 
   "Thank you, everyone." Xavier said to everyone in Zay's room. 
   He walked back to our room and laid me down in our bed, his scent keeping the pain at bay. He went and changed into a pair of non blood covered clothes. He laid down beside me, pulling me into his lap. He tightened his hold on me.
   "It's really hard to control my wolf right now little one." He put his head in my neck and trailed light kisses up and down making me release a breathy moan. "But I know that it's too soon for you." He continued to kiss up and down my throat. 
   He was right. It was way too soon in my opinion. With most wolves, you mate not long after meeting but I wasn't most wolves. I wanted to wait until the right moment and with both our wolves being clouded over with lust wasn't how I wanted it to happen.
   I could hear both of our wolves practically purring but this is only the first of at least three days, which was how long all my previous heats lasted. I rested my head on his shoulder when he stopped kissing my neck.
   "What was going on with the rogues?" I asked in a whisper since my headache was still slightly there. Xavier tightened his hold on my sides and I whimpered from the pressure. He relaxed his hands but I could still tell that he was tense.
   "I don't want to lie to you but I also don't want to scare you," he admitted. 
   "I can handle it." My stomach started to hurt again so I pulled myself closer to him. Xavier pushed me up for a moment to take off his shirt. He pushed it over my head and I smiled. I put my arms through the sleeves and wrapped them around his neck.
   "If I tell you you have to promise not to worry. Okay little one? Because I will protect you. I promise." I nodded but I was probably lying. What ever this was sounded like it would make me worry. A lot.
   "Okay," I whispered and buried my face in his neck, trying to get the pain in my stomach to go away.
   "They were coming for you."

How dare those nasty rogues say such things! Just kidding! It is my doing after all!
The only reason why I said three days for her heat is because I didn't want to ignore the rogues, Malum, and Christopher for too long.
I have a new ship: Scott Hoying and Mitch Grassi from the Penatonix. They are the Dan and Phil of accapella. (I don't know if I spelled any of that right). I watched their entire documentary on Netflix (go watch it! It's fantabulous
I decided that I would tell you guys some weird or interesting facts about me every chapter because why not?
#1: I have a dream catcher collection. It's small but expanding and I'm young so I have years to widen the collection!
