She could understand him leaving to tend to Christy, but he should have split his time. It wasn’t that hard to do. Hell, he only had to come here to her three times a day for 30 to 60 minutes. So, one and a half to three hours out of a 24 day, and he could be with his precious Christy the other 21 to 22 and a half.
She didn’t ask for much, and she would no longer ask for anything at all. She was his Mate by the will of the Goddess, and right now she just wanted to sink her claws into him and tear him apart for his lack of love. Lack of care, lack of attending to his Alpha Duties where his first Luna was concerned.
He didn’t have a single ounce of care, not once in three days did he even so much as mind-link to her to apologize. So, no longer would she show him she cared either.
She stepped out of her suite and found Paul out there pacing around out in the corridor. He looked right at her as the door opened and hurried over to her. “I’m sorry… I couldn’t come in and help you.”
Mischa nodded. “I’m aware and I understand Paul.” Was all she said, it wasn’t his fault, “Though I’ve had a lot of time to think about everything, and I think Christy’s heat is suspicious. She only ever goes into heat once a year, and never does it cross over mine, it is months apart.”
“You look like s**t Mischa, pack hospital now. Brent has told me you need to go right to him. He’s prepped the Luna’s Medical Suite for a recovery day for you and Laud.”
She nodded and walked with him. “Christy’s heat, Paul. I don’t doubt she’s in heat, but it suddenly started after she accused me of lying about being in heat. One day after, and Anthony never once left her. Every time I tried to connect with him, he was mating her. I could feel it down the link, Laud stated they were mating her a dozen times a day from her connection to Shade sometimes more.”
Paul turned wide eyes on her now. “That’s not natural.”
“I know, too much even for a Mate to handle.” She nodded.
He was frowning at her. “You’re thinking what exactly?” he murmured.
“It’s not fake, I know that,” she sighed and mind-linked to him, ‘I think she induced it with her own pheromones, that would see her body go into a heat that’s two or three times more aggressive than a normal heat. See Anthony and his beast mate her dozens of times a day.’
‘I know you two don’t get along but…’
‘Stop right there,’ she sighed. ‘I was accepting, I am accepting. I have never once tried to get between them. You know this yourself, it’s Christy that always stepped between Anthony and I. She’s insecure, remember. I’m not, so don’t go there. Have I done anything right now to stop them, yelled and scream about him not tending to me at all? No, so don’t you accuse me of thinking up such a plot, or I’ll punish you myself,’ she stated flatly.
She saw him sigh and nod slowly. ‘We’ll see if she did something to herself soon enough,’ Mischa stated, and they would ‘if she did do this just to pull him from me to make me suffer a heat alone, it’ll have ramifications, especially if she used her own pheromones. You can look it up. I did that had three days between bouts and pain to stew and think about it all.
‘Read everything there is about unnatural heats happening… You can go and check on her heats if you wish. But from my memory, she isn’t due to go into heat for months.’
‘I checked on that myself. You are right three months and 8 days actually, it falls at the same time each year, give or take one day. Has never been near yours ever. Is as regular as clockwork like your two are.’
‘I know I did research on that before now, will of the goddess to make sure what just happened to me, never actually happens at all. Rarely, if ever, does it happen between two mates that aren’t mated to each other but have one connecting mate, do they go into heat at the same time.’
If Christy had done this to herself, it was entirely possible that she was going to do it again every time Mischa went into heat, and all to just stop Anthony from mating her and trying to produce an heir with her. It was cruel and vicious by nature.
She’d also be setting herself up to have three heats this coming year, something that was unheard of. One now, one when she was actually due to go into heat and then one again in six months when Mischa’s next heat came. That would be three heats in six months, very unnatural to the point it was unheard of unless it was induced by someone.
That she-wolf, she thought if this was her plan, hadn’t really considered all the factors, and was unlikely to have done all the actual research with regard to follow-on side effects or ramifications of overuse of her own heat pheromones.
This one-induced heat was okay and wouldn’t have follow-on side effects other than what actually happened in that room now during the heat she was going through. But if she was stupid enough to continue to do it to herself in the future, her body would adjust to it, and it would consider it to be normal, and so she’d end up with two heats naturally after two years.
That’s where the real problems would start as well, for Christy, but for Mischa it would be interesting to watch. Two heats were considered normal for some she-wolves, like herself. But being they were Mates that shared one Mate, and with Christy’s temperament and need to have Anthony all to herself.
When Mischa went into heat, Christy was still likely to induce her own again, having four heats a year, and that was unheard of in their world.
“Just wait, Paul, it’ll out itself in time if I’m correct,” she stated.
He drove her to the pack hospital in his car, and she stated, “If the Alpha asks at all, you may tell him I’m in the Luna Medical Suite, but I wouldn’t count on it. He’s not once asked me if I’m alright or even apologized.”
