"Princess Hope," I look up at my chamber door to see Daniel enter.

"Daniel." He walks closer and takes a seat across from me at the table.

The Alpha smirks but his eyes shine with concern. "Are you okay? What happened?"

I set down the book about Northern Packs that Queen Mac lent to me. "Dad sent a letter to Queen Mac."

He settles a serious stare my way. "What did it say?"

A nasty grimace forms on my face "He gave us three days to leave when the letter arrived, today we only have one day left."

Daniel sucks in a breath and pinches the bridge of his nose. "What will we do?"

"He can't take me away. Separating mates is forbidden by werewolf law." I glare down at my clenched fists. "If I can just explain to him everything, I think he will understand."

Daniel lifts his eyes to mine, "He never could say no to you." He rubs his chin in thought. "No matter how many times you disobeyed the rules, King Alpha Michael always forgave you easily."

"We could use that to our advantage." The two of us look at each other. "Do you think it will work, Daniel?"

"You're the pure and innocent Princess of the Southern Kingdom." Daniel sends me a sly smirk. "It will work." The Alpha stays for a few more minutes before taking his leave. Daniel turns around, the door slightly ajar. "Hey Hope," he frowns "Are you okay?"

"Yes?" I tilt my head to the side in confusion.

He leans back on his foot with a narrowed gaze. "Your skin is flushed."

"Probably a small cold from my adventure." The two of us laugh. "The world beyond the Wall is almost mystical."

"Ah huh," Daniel shakes his head, a smile forming on his lips. "You know I want to hear about your adventure with the Lycans. Everest says she can't remember anything from your crazy feast with them."

I chuckle, "I can't either. I don't know what that means but I'm happy I met Magnus and his people. They are truly kind."

The Alpha nods and opens the door wider. "Get some rest, Princess."

I watch as Daniel finally leaves. The heavy wooden door thuds softly behind him. A lock twists into place, it echoes in the now quiet room. Overwhelming pressure begins to rise after I gather my bearings. The plan we created might work but it's a long shot. All I can do is pray to Moon Goddess that my Dad approves.

Wincing, I press a hand to my lower back with a pained gasp. For the last hour that Daniel had been inside my chamber, I had tried to hide the staggering pain, but now I let the mask fall. I sigh heavily and breathe in and out deeply while slowly settling down into my chair. The constant ache of cramps started last night and the pain has steadily increased.

After rereading the same page twice I set the book down on the table and lean back in my chair. The familiar burn of stretching is welcome until my stomach cramps. My arms immediately wrap around my middle as I double over at the intense flash of white-hot pain. It's like someone is making me a human shish-kebab and frying my body in oil. Not to mention that every hour my stomach decides to regurgitate all my past snacks. Soon the pain passes and I loudly exhale a relieved sigh. "I think that one was a full minute."

Tiredly, I stand and slowly make my way toward the bed. My eyes sting from the lack of sleep I got from the previous night. After Queen Mac had left my room, the pains started a few hours later. I had chalked it up to being something I ate while on my forest extravaganza but now that hypothesis is long gone. Hot flashes. Intense stomach cramps. Horrible lower back pain. Nausea.

All the symptoms of Heat.

"Of course, this happens to me." I flop down onto the bed and scoot myself up to the headboard. My sheer dress drapes across my overheated body, and a light shawl covers my bare shoulders. For once, the Northern weather doesn't bother me. If anything, it's helping to cool my body down.

"I guess Queen Mac is my Mate." I roll over onto my stomach, strategically placing a pillow against my sore belly. "Only my Soulmate can make me go through Heat."

Head now resting on a pillow, I pull a blanket over my body. Gooseflesh rises and suddenly the room is freezing. My teeth chatter, and it feels like ice is running through my veins. "This sucks." Burrowing deeper under the mountain of covers I ride out the pain.

Hours pass, and within that time I slip in and out of consciousness. Sweat sticks to my skin, pooling at my collarbone while fiery pleasurable heat licks its way across my body. My face is stuffed inside a pillow, Queen Mac's black cloak wrapped around me as I writhe on the mattress as a shockwave shatters through me. I bite down hard on my bottom lip, enough to draw blood, to keep from groaning in frustration. Shakes continue to wrack my body as I stubbornly fight the need to touch myself.

The black cloak wrapped around me slowly soothes my frazzled lust-filled mind. Mac's Alpha scent lingers on the thick material. My Omega whines causing a high-pitched cry to escape my raw bitten lips. Again I clamp my teeth down on the pillow as I twitch with the need to finger myself into oblivion. Which is very difficult not to do. "Remember your teachings." Inside my head, I repeat the mantra while deepening my breathing. "Omegas do not disobey. Omegas do not disobey."

My vision swims as dark spots dance across the edges. "Al-Alpha..." I turn my head to the door with a desperate needy whine. "Alpha!" Suddenly vertigo hits me and my mind spins. As I lay still on the bed, sweat sticking to my skin, and copious amounts of slick wetness drenched between my thighs, rationalization escapes me.

I need my Alpha.

I need to find Mac.

"Princess...Princess you shouldn't be out of your-" the voice cuts off abruptly.

Somewhere in the back of my mind, I watch the events play out as if on a screen. Northern guards back away from me, shielding their noses. The Beta knights grab onto the only Alpha knight present who makes a crazed lunge toward me. "Someone get the Queen!" The Betas tackle the snarling Alpha to the ground while shouting for me to run.

I tilt my head and glance at the open door. "But my Alpha, I need to find her." Again a smokescreen clouds over my senses and I find myself walking past the scrambling wolves in favor of going out into the empty corridor.

Shouts echo in the silence but I persist in my search. Another gasping strike of heat pain wraps around my middle and squeezes tightly. I double over from the sheer amount of teeth-gritting agony that quakes my entire body for longer than a minute. Slick gushes my already leaking sex. Aroused pheromones leak from my every pore, the smell of heady sex dripping from my form.

The sound of something dripping in a steady rhythm briefly snaps me out of the heat pain. Below me, around my feet, is a sizable clear puddle. I blink and follow the liquid all the way up beneath my sheer dress. From the amount of sweat and slick the dress is practically see-through now. My lack of undergarments is noticeable. My fingers twitch ever so slightly. "Alpha..." I sniff the air and my eyes roll into the back of my head when the most amazing scent reaches my sensitive nose.

It's distinctly what I imagine Winter smells like. Fresh pine, the cold bitterness of the wind, and a heady musk that only Alphas have. It wraps around me, slick gushes from my puffy pussy lips, and dribbles down my leg. Immediately all my restraint vanishes. My hand dives between my legs and rubs furiously at the throbbing bundle of heat.

A loud, dominant growl vibrates the hallway. My fingers rub harder, legs giving out underneath me. "Please!"

Arms wrap around me, "My Omega." A nose scents my neck, teeth scraping against the soft skin.

A broken moan falls from my lips. The scent of Alpha pheromones is stronger and quickly wraps around me in a bubble. Mind-numbing pleasure shoots through me when a wet tongue licks the scent-gland on my neck. Fingers still massaging the drenched inner walls of my pussy, I buck my hips up into the air, trying to chase release. "Please...help me."

The hot wet tongue slides back up my neck, a snarl reverberates off the walls. It's so loud and dominating and just pure Alpha. "Soon beautiful."

I bare my neck, slick hands grasping onto the thick fabric of Mac's cloak. "Alpha I need..." a shutter quiets me and I bow forward, hips twitching.

An arm wraps around under my legs and back. "Hold on Omega, I have you."

Darkness engulfs my bleary vision. All my senses are hyper-aware of Mac. Her every inhale, the way she releases her pheromones, the smell of her arousal. Everything is hitting me at full force and I'm melting. Suddenly instead of a freezing corridor, warmth breezes over my trembling body. Mac places me gently onto a bed. A mountain of furs rub against my itchy hot skin.

"No!" The furs immediately find their way to the floor, my heated skin needing a sweet reprieve from the uncomfortable itch. Hands grasp mine and I glance up with half-lidded eyes. Queen Mac gazes down at me, her eyes blazing like liquid silver.

"My beautiful Omega," She places a kiss on my palms, sucking a finger into her mouth.

My eyes close as the warm heat engulfs the digit. A growl and something sharp bites down on my finger. "Look at me." Mac licks between my fingers, the red muscle of her heated tongue stirring up fiery passion in my core. "I want you to see everything I do to you."

"Yes, Alpha." I crumble underneath her.

Mac drops my hand, her eyes stare down at me then, "Mac." She nuzzles my cheek, "I want to hear my name on your lips while I fuck you."

Another wave of wetness gushes from my pussy. It's like a waterfall with how much slick is dripping from it. "Mac, please, Mac!"

My hips buck up into the air, "I need you."

Mac smiles, it's predatory and all-consuming. "Of course."
