Diana's POV

Luca rushed to my side, his eyes changing color. I screamed and sobbed until my throat became completely dry.

I dug my nails into Luca's shoulder making him grunt, while my other hand grasped a handful of the bedsheets.

"SOMETHING'S NOT RIGHT!" Luca yelled grabbing a hold of my arm.

He had a worried look plastered on his face, as he looked around the room trying to find something to help me.

This was officially the worst period ever. I felt more blood come out and stain the white sheets on our bed. Luca closed his eyes in a flash, opening them a few seconds later.

"I-it hurts!"

Those were the only words leaving my mouth, along with an 'ow' here and there.

"I know, I know. You're gonna be okay, it's going to be fine, the pack doctor is on their way here. Can you wait a few minutes?" I whimpered and shook my head.

There was no way I could continue to handle this burning and agonizing pain. He muttered cuss words and came closer to me, kissing my forehead.

My vision became fuzzy, I tapped on Luca's shoulder, trying to labor my breathing,

"I-I can't."

My eyes began to close, as dark spots started to surround the room. He patted my cheek, trying to keep me awake.

"Hey, Diana. Stay with me, you are going to be fine, it's gonna be fine. The pack doctor is almost here."

I stared at him, nodding my head slowly. He wiped the sweat off of my forehead with the shirt I was wearing, cooing things to me.

"Just look at me."

It was repeated by Luca every few seconds. The door opened showing a male doctor run in and kneel down to me.

He touched my forehead, checking my temperature and causing Luca roar. He pushed the doctor away, standing in front of me.

"Don't touch her." I moaned weakly.

"Alpha, there is no time, I can't help her if you won't let me. You called me here and I am here to do my job."

The doctor tried to get passed Luca but he blocked his way more.

"No, get a different doctor,"

I screamed again, another fireball filling my body.

The doctor pushed past Luca, rushing to my side. He felt my forehead again and looked down at the bloody mess I had created. My cheeks warmed up with embarrassment.

"Alpha, she is in heat," Luca growled,

"Tell something I don't know."

"She is also starting her menstrual cycle. She's feeling her heat as the cramps are occurring." My eyes widened as I grasped onto the sheets.

"What can I do to ease the pain?" Luca asked, calming down slightly, worry definitely in his voice.

"Alpha, you need to mark her, she will go into shock from all this pain, she is human correct?" He nodded, coming closer to me, brushing some hairs out of my face. The doctor looked at me with worry, before giving full attention to Luca.

"Alpha, she will die if you don't." Wait. What? Luca grabbed the doctor by the collar and dragged him out of the room.

He slammed the door and then jogged back to me. His large hand grasped into mine, giving it a kiss.

"Diana, listen to me. I need to do this, I really wish we had more time to think about this, but I can't let anything happen to you. Baby, I need to mark you, it's gonna hurt for a second but then you'll feel pleasure."

I gave him a drowsy look, hissing as another cramp came along. My body burned again, this time making me let out a sob again.

I saw his eyes turn black and his canines elongating. He moved my hair off of my neck, holding the nape of my neck in his hand.

Luca came close to me, his teeth grazing the sensitive skin.

"I love you." He whispered, sinking his teeth into my neck.

I clung onto his hair and felt him lick off the blood that was oozing out.

He pecked it and gave me a kiss on the lips, a very passionate one. My pain died down, slowly, I only felt my normal period cramps.

They were like tiny pinches, something I could actually deal with. I patted the bed next to me, indicating for Luca to lay down with me.

He immediately ran to the other side and climbed into the bed with me. I laid my head on his lap, loving his touch as he began playing with my hair.

"I love you too," I mumbled, grabbing a hold of one of his hands.

I started to play with his fingers and brought them to my neck where he 'marked' me. A wave of pleasure hit me when they lightly feathered around it. I looked up at him and saw his scar starting to heal. I gave him a confused look, touching his cheek.

"How the hell is it already healing?" He scrunched his nose, giving me a side smile.

"Reminder, I'm a werewolf."

He used my words, well played. I brought my eyes down to the pool of blood and had a look of disgust on my face.

"Luca, I need to take a shower and burn these sheets." He laughed.

I tried to stand up but Luca stopped me.

"No don't move, I don't want you to push yourself." 

I clicked my tongue and laid back down.

"I really want to take a shower, I feel gross."

He sighed, staying quiet for a few seconds.

"I'll have to go into the shower with you."

"Are you using this as an excuse to get in my pants?" I joked, folding my arms.

"Wha- Noooo, It's just that, a couple of minutes ago you were like dying and I don't want you to, you know, hurt yourself."

He was freaking out. Is an Alpha King freaking out? Cute.

"I'm just kidding."

I laughed, patting his chest. He huffed out like a little kid, shaking his head in disappointment.

"Come on," I said, sitting up a little, the cramps increasing a tiny bit.

He pulled me into his lap and went to the edge of the bed. He carried me into the bathroom, setting me down on the sink.

"Would you like your clothes off?" He asked politely.

I moved the collar of the shirt away from me, looking down my shirt. My bra was still on.

"Yes please."

I started to take my shirt off but he stopped me. His hands made it to the ends of my shirt and pulled it over my head, leaving me in just a bra and his briefs.

He bit his bottom lip, his eyes changing colors. He moved closer to me, putting his hands on my thighs as he stood in between my legs. I put my hands on his cheeks pulling his face closer to mine.

"Can you believe we said our 'I love you's' as I was literally on the verge of death. How romantic." I said sarcastically.

He smiled, closing his eyes and our noses touching. I started to feel a need of wanting to well, mate with him right now.

I started to get really turned on and was I must admit, a little horny. I prayed that God would forgive me for all my thoughts, washing me away from all of this.

Our lips met and I started to straddle him. This went on for a couple of minutes until Luca stopped, he wrapped his arms around my torso. I frowned, tilting my head.

"Why'd you stop? Am I doing something wrong?" His eyes went wide.

"NO! No. I know you are feeling real, err, hot right now. It's your heat, and I want us to take our time. I want you to be older and ready."

I felt a little upset but understood what he was saying.

I wanted it to be special and I know I would regret it if we did it now. I nodded towards him, giving him a small smile.

He gave me a small peck and carried me into the shower. The sound of the water was heard and the sudden feeling of cold water hit my back.

I squealed, trying to hide my body behind Luca's strong figure. My cramps started to come back, making me shiver and hold onto my stomach.

Luca stood behind me as the hot water started to hit my back, making me relax instantly.

Luca trailed kisses on my shoulder to my neck. I turned my body so my back was touching his chest.

The water hit my chest and stomach, making it churn. I saw the pinkish water wash down the drain. Luca got some shampoo and body wash lathering me in it.

I grabbed some of the shampoos out of his hand and put it in his hair. I rubbed it in until it became foamy. I let out a little giggle, giving his nose a kiss.

We both rinsed off, I took a seat on the toilet as Luca went to get a towel for me. Once he came back, I grabbed the towel telling him to thanks. He also handed me a shirt of his and another pair of his briefs.

I really needed to go shopping. He seemed to take notice of me dozing off.

"What's wrong?"

"I really need to go shopping. I have no clothes."

He nodded, drying himself off.

"Once you finish your heat, we will take you to the mall, you can buy whatever you'd like."

I put a strand of my hair behind my ear and cleared my throat.

"May I please change?"

He turned his body, showing his perfect back, I kept myself from drooling. I took off my bra and briefs, putting on more of Luca's clothes. I grabbed some toilet paper and put it in the briefs as a way to prevent any leakage. I really needed pads.

"Luca?"

He turned his head to the side slightly.

"Yeah?"

"I uh, I need some......pads."

There was an awkward silence between us. He mind-linked Monica, who was on her way back from the whole Xavier situation.

As I had been told.

"She will be here in few. Why don't we go to bed, you have had a rough few days."

I nodded and opened my arms. He picked me up, making his way to the bed.

My mind wandered to Xavier. What was going to happen to him? Was Luca really going to start a war with him?

I cuddled into Luca, the burning sensation starting to arise again.

"We need to plan your Ball."

I raised my head and looked back down.

"A Ball?"

I started tracing and doodling random things on his hard chest.

"Of course, I want all the Alphas in the world to know that I have found you. They need to know they have a Luna Queen. We also need to plan your Luna Ceremony."

I hummed and continued to doodle.

"What's the difference?" I asked.

"Well, the Ball is just for Alphas, Lunas, Betas. But the ceremony is so you will officially be a part of this pack and the pack members will finally get to know you."

I nodded slowly.

"When are you thinking we should have the ceremony?"

"Next week."

I looked at him with a blank stare.

"Next week!?!"

I didn't have any dress to wear, let alone clothes of my own.

"I don't have ANY clothes, Luca."

"I already told you, we will go get you anything you want once you're finished with your heat." 

I sighed, as my cramps would come and go. A knock interrupted our conversation.

"Go away," Luca growled.

"Alpha it's Monica."

Before he could say anything I said,

"Come in."

She opened the door, holding a few pads in her hand. She bowed her head in respect and slowly walked towards the bed.

Her eyes lit up when she saw me. Luca tightened his grip on me giving Monica a look of warning. Why was he so protective around everyone today?

"Stay away." He warned her.

I reached my hand out and felt the plastic wraps of the pads touch my skin. Monica backed away, not wanting to anger Luca.

"Thank you," I said quietly.

Monica left without another word. I got out Luca's grasp and limped my way back into the bathroom.

"You need any help?"

Luca started to get out of the bed too, but I put my hand up to stop him.

"I'll be fine on my own for 2 seconds Luca. I'll scream if something happens."

He nodded once, laying back down on the bed. I shut the door behind me and sat down on the toilet. I took of the briefs and saw a pool of blood. Yuck.

I ripped the pad out of the packaging and started to put it on. I quickly washed my hands and wanted to go lay back in Luca's arms.

I saw him asleep as he laid on the whole bed, with new sheets and the stained ones on the side. Wow, that was fast.

I rolled my eyes and climbed on top of him. I pecked his lips and laid my head on his chest, falling asleep to the sound of his heartbeat.
