Chapter 93

• *Isabel*
• My entire body was on fire.
• I was awake for all of five minutes when I connected the dots and realized I was going into heat. Usually female werewolves went into heat fourteen days after meeting their mate. What I was going through was a world apart from what was supposed to happen, since my wolf had been MIA at the time I'd met Dante. She'd returned... I did the math in my head. Yep, exactly fourteen days ago. The heat struck me like a huge wave; both sudden and inescapable. It wasn't just a physical ache. No, it was way more than that. It was like fire in my veins, a persistent pull deep in my core that made it impossible to even think clearly. Every breath I took felt labored, like someone was physically applying pressure to my lungs and making it difficult to breathe.
