Damian's pov
                          
"You don't want to fuck with me right now, Jason," I grumbled, eyes on dozens of papers in front of me on my desk. I was the Alpha of this pack, and found it idiotic that I had to go through these boring documents. 
                          
"Yeah, no," the beta of my pack chuckled quietly and stepped inside of my office, "you might want to go see that mate of yours..."
                          
"Fucking hell," I huffed, looking up at my best friend and right hand man, "what has she done now?"
                          
He shrugged, glancing to his side. Once I saw his eyes, I knew exactly what was going on. I stood up and rid myself of my suit jacket.
                          
"You didn't touch her, did you?" I asked him calmly, studying him. If he lied to me, I'd know. 
                          
"Course not, D. I went to check on her, like you asked, but she was... well, you know... so I called Linda to help her," Jason told me, and I gave him a nod.
                          
"What do you think about her?" I then asked, rounding my desk and making my way over to him while rolling up my sleeves.
                          
He shrugged, "she's hot, you're lucky. She threw her shoe at one of the maids yesterday though, seems pretty pissed you brought her back here..."
                          
I chuckled, finding her stubbornness almost funny at this point. Most mates mated and completed the mate bond after the first time they met, I guess Sofia's and my bond would be sealed much later since the circumstances couldn't be worse.
                          
Without replying, as the thought of him finding her hot ticked me off a bit, I left my office. After a quick detour by the pack doctor, I neared the sweet smell of my mate's heat. I could already feel the arousal flooding my entire body.
                          
I knocked twice, concentrating all my energy on holding myself back, as well as my wolf. In extreme cases of sexual need such as this, my wolf could easily push to take over and have his way with our mate.
                          
"Thank God you're here," Linda opened the door, looking quite flustered. I slipped past her and into the bedroom, groaning as the scent of Sofia's heat enveloped me and filled all my senses. 
                          
I shut the door behind me and locked it, leaving Linda on the other side. Just Sofia and I remained in the dim room.
                          
She was twisting and turning on the bed, arching her back and sweating. She had the duvet fisted into her hands and feet pushing into the mattress for any type of relief.
                          
"Damian," she gasped, eyes opening painfully and landing on me. God, I was already hard and fighting the urge to take her. Her scent was so fucking intoxicating.
                          
"Hey," I cleared my throat, quickly digging into my left pocket and swallowing a small blue pill. It was from the doctor, and would calm me down now as she went through her heat. 
                          
"Please... oh, Lord..." she let out a breathless moan, eyes squeezing shut again, "I'm so hot, I can't- please," she chocked. My jaw clenched while I hoped the pill would start working soon so I could focus on helping her.
                          
Mate... need her... my wolf was growling at me to move from my spot by the door, but I wouldn't.
                          
Mate. Now... he was extremely angry at me for holding back, just needing to connect with Sofia and her wolf. 
                          
Even if our wolves both wanted each other, the human versions of us still needed to get consent. I felt my restraints slowly return, and quietly sighed in relief at the fast effects of the pill.
                          
She was begging me to mate with her now, but I didn't listen and instead went into the bathroom to get her a glass of water. 
                          
"Damian..." her voice coaxed me to come back to her, and with the glass of water I did. I sat beside her writhing body on the bed.
                          
The sweet scent of her heat was still prominent, but with the help of the pill I was able to control my wolf a little better, as well as myself.
                          
"Sit up, okay, Sofia?" I told her, helping her up to a sitting position with one hand. She moaned at my hand on her back, gaining relief from the small action. It was amazing to me how strong these mate bonds were.
                          
She grabbed my shirt, fisting it in her hands and trying to get me to come closer. I didn't budge though, and instead handed her the pill. 
                          
"I need you to take this with a glass of water. It'll help with the heat," I mumbled, still fighting myself to keep from taking her. 
                          
Her eyes were hooded and desperate, but I avoided them with all cost.
                          
"Damian, please..." she begged, voice lowering to one that had my dick throbbing. 
                          
With one hand I took a firm hold of her chin, parting her delicious looking lips. I slipped the pill inside her mouth and then brought the glass of water up.
                          
"Drink," I ordered, growing frustrated for so many different reasons. Still panting, she shakily accepted the glass and swallowed the pill with the water. I watched as she drank, completely mesmerised. 
                          
I cleared my throat, snapping myself out of drooling over her once she was done. 
                          
"How do you feel?" I muttered, grabbing the empty glass and making my way back into the bathroom. 
                          
"Hot... Damian, it's not- ohh," she whimpered, and I ached for her. Once I returned into the bedroom, she was once again back to laying on her back and arching it whenever the heat waves hit her.
                          
"Give it a few minutes, it'll help," I told her, standing by the bathroom door to leave a great distance between us. It didn't make my wolf happy at all, but since she still smelt so deliciously and amazingly like her heat, the further I stayed from her the better. We were animals, after all.
                          
"Please, just... help," she cried, and I felt her pain when a tear slid down her cheek. I ran a hand through my hair, letting out a breath.
                          
"I'll come check on you in the evening. Try to remember how much you want me now, when you're no longer in heat, okay?" I chuckled quietly to myself and shaking my head in the process. 
                          
"Don't leave," she choked out, and I stopped in my tracks on the way to the locked door. I furiously debated with my wolf if I should stay with Sofia.
                          
The pill would start working for her in a matter of seconds, but she was still my mate and I was undeniably attracted to her. With or without her heat, my wolf and I still wanted to mate her to complete the bond.
                          
"Okay," I found myself saying without fully thinking it through. I cursed at myself in my head; mates made you make rash decisions, which was something I needed to avoid since I was an Alpha and the only leader of this pack. To remain powerful, I did not need her affecting my choices.
                          
A bit of her hair was matted to her forehead while she was breathing less heavily than before. I could see the pill's effects on her already. Her stunning eyes watched every move I made as I walked back over to the bed. Without saying anything or even looking at her, I climbed in after kicking my shoes off and laid down on my back as well.
                          
"I'm sorry," I told her, extremely uncharacteristically. 
                          
"For what?" She sounded almost breathless. I could hear her fast heartbeat and feel how nervous she was.
                          
It seemed like her heat was passing pretty quickly, even if the sweet and irresistible scent stayed lingering within my senses.
                          
"For bringing you back here. I know you don't like this".
                          
I was much more calm with her than I'd ever been, feeling an odd sense of serenity and warmth within our proximity. My arm was basically touching hers.
                          
Sofia stayed quiet. I listened to her calming breathing, which had slowed down by now.
                          
"If it makes you feel any better," she spoke after what felt like ages of silence, and my hearing perked to catch every single word she said with that voice which would surely be the death of me, "I did feel bad with the distance. I thought it'd pass, but it just kept growing..."
                          
"Yeah".
