Only a couple of days passed since (Y/n's) period ended and everyone in the palace noticed a new scent coming from her; it wasn't horrible like blood, but it did smell good to them. Sendak especially liked the scent of the pheromones she was unknowingly letting off and it reminded him of the pheromones galra women let off right before they went into heat. Each time he spoke to (Y/n) he found himself getting distracted by her pheromones; he felt embarrassed every time he lost his train of thought, thankfully (Y/n) never seemed to notice, or she just didn't care. During her period he slept in her bed with her so they could cuddle all night long and she seemed to really like cuddling with him. However, as soon as (Y/n's) pheromones changed after her period ended it was as though a switch went off inside Sendak and he suddenly wanted to make a nest made out of the finest fabrics available and see her pregnant with a litter of his kittens.

By the time (Y/n's) fertile week actually started every man in the palace avoided her as much as possible while only some of the women avoided her as well; not because they disliked her scent, but because almost everyone suddenly wanted her to be their mate. If it were galra mating season (Y/n's) pheromones would have set them all off, thankfully it was the wrong season and no one would suddenly go into heat. (Y/n) definitely noticed everyone's strange behavior and wondered what was going on, not realizing that it was her pheromones that made everyone stare at her with lust. She honestly thought it was cute every time she chatted with Sendak and he lost his train of thought, although to be honest she didn't realize that she was fertile during that particular time. (Y/n) did feel hornier than usual and she'd touched herself a couple of times when she was alone in her room, she wondered if anyone could smell what she had been up to.

Right on the day she was ovulating (Y/n) went to the kitchen to see if she could find a quick snack like usual, the only thing different was each time she passed one of the servants they would stare at her with an expression that left her feeling flustered. At the time Vrul had been on his way outside when he smelled (Y/n); her sweet pheromones made him forget what he'd been doing and he followed her instead, his mind turning to mush as he breathed in her new scent. At first (Y/n) didn't realize that she was being followed, then she stopped in her tracks when she heard a flirtatious trill come from behind her. She was a little surprised to see Vrul standing a couple of feet behind her when she turned around, a sexy grin playing across his lips. They only stood there for a few seconds, staring at each other until their gazes met.

“What are you up to, gorgeous?” Vrul all but purred when he said something, sending a sexy grin in her direction.

“I'm just going to get a snack… Why?” (Y/n) answered with an awkward tone, already knowing that he was acting just like everyone else she crossed paths with.

“Would you like me to make something for you, then? A pretty little thing like yourself shouldn't have to make herself something to eat. Come on, baby, let's make something together.” Vrul spoke suggestively, trilling at her while perking his ears forward.

“I'm pretty sure you're not talking about just food, so no thank you. Now, if you'll excuse me, the food is waiting for me.” (Y/n) excused herself before turning around and practically running in the direction of the kitchen, hoping that Vrul wouldn't follow her.

Vrul was stunned by (Y/n's) reaction to his flirting and by the way she so hastily left him behind, he thought that he was being sauve. He felt sad that he was rejected so quickly and decided to go outside for that day's training session, it would give him the opportunity to work through his frustration, he also hoped it would make his semi erect member to go back into his sheath. In the meantime, (Y/n) was glad to escape yet another person who wanted to have sex with her; honestly, by that point that week she was tired of people wanting her to be their mate. When (Y/n) eventually walked into the kitchen she saw Sendak, the one person she wouldn't mind having as her boyfriend and, dare she say it, her future husband; she felt horny all of a sudden when she saw the man she had a huge crush on, it would be hard to control herself around him. She knew that she was blushing when Sendak turned around and looked at her, (Y/n) felt as though she would melt if he suggested they go somewhere private together for a while.

“There you are, I've been waiting for you. I made something for you to eat before I go outside to train.” Sendak spoke sensually as soon as his eyes met (Y/n's), picking up the large plate of sliced fruit and meat on it so he could show it to her; there was something about her ovulating that made him want to show her what a good mate he could be, there was no doubt about him being twitterpated.

“You made all of this for me? I don't know what to say except- Thank you, it all looks delicious.” (Y/n) responded in awe when she saw the plate of delicious food on it, graciously thanking him for preparing it for her.

“I'm glad that I could be of service. I'll see you later, angel.” Sendak responded flirtatiously, not missing how the young woman swooned; he gave her the plate of food and leaned down so he could briefly rub the tip of his nose against hers, giving her a quick galra kiss before he left the kitchen.

(Y/n) wordlessly took the plate of food from Sendak before he rubbed his nose against hers, nearly dropping it because of how stunned she felt; Sendak practically kissed her, for a moment she thought that she might faint. Sendak grinned knowingly prior to forcing himself to leave the kitchen, Zarkon would be cross with him if he was late to training. He could smell how turned on he made her feel from the simple yet sweet gesture, he definitely wouldn't have minded staying behind to help her with it. (Y/n) watched her incredibly sexy crush leave, wishing that their encounter could have escalated to something much more. She got snapped out of her thoughts when her stomach growled loudly, reminding her that she had a plate full of delicious food for her to snack on.

As the day wore on everyone in the palace was still acting strange and (Y/n) wanted to know why, so she naturally decided to ask Zarkon if he knew anything about it. His training session with Sendak, Kumo and Vrul was done for the day which meant he would most likely be available to talk to, assuming he wasn't busy with anything else. On the way to the throne room (Y/n) crossed paths with Lotor and his Dayak; they weren't acting weird like everybody else, thank goodness, although they couldn't stay to chat because Dayak was taking Lotor on a little field trip to further learn about some of the plants that grew on Diabazaal. When (Y/n) resumed her journey to the throne room she thought about how she was going to ask Zarkon why nearly everyone had been acting strange, it never really dawned on her that she was ovulating. As soon as she entered her destination she saw Zarkon walking towards her, a troubled expression on his face; Zarkon wasn't expecting (Y/n) to visit him, her scent had been bothering everyone for the past few days, including him.

“What's wrong?” (Y/n) inquired with a concerned tone after the galran emperor stopped walking, feeling a little threatened as he loomed over her.

“Nothing's wrong, I'm simply busy. If you'll please excuse me, I have something to attend to.” Zarkon practically choked out in response, a blush appearing on his face when he stopped to answer her question to the best of his ability prior to excusing himself and promptly leaving.

The emperor's odd behavior only confused (Y/n) even more, usually he would take the time out of his busy schedule to answer her questions but this time he was so quick to leave; she was glad that he wasn't rude. Zarkon felt bad for not answering (Y/n's) question, but her scent was driving him crazy and he didn't want to do something he'd regret, especially since he hadn't gotten laid since shortly before his beloved wife died; he didn't love (Y/n) the same way he loved Honerva, although even he wasn't immune to the sweet musk of a young woman during her fertile window. Lotor would be out with Dayak for a few more vargas which would give him the time to blow off some steam. (Y/n) gave up and decided to go find someone who might be able to answer her question; Haggar was out for the day since it was her day off, but since Ulaz was working at the clinic in the nearest village she considered going to visit him. On her way out of the throne room she saw Kumo heading her way, she wondered if the other young woman would know something.

“There you are, I've been looking for you after training was done.” Kumo greeted (Y/n) when she finally found her; it was easy to find the residential human since Zarkon told her where she was.

“Was there something you wanted to see me for?” (Y/n) asked her with curiosity, hoping to finally receive an answer to her question.

“Yes, actually, there is. It's about your heat.” Kumo answered, glad that she wasn't too affected by her friend's scent.

“Humans don't go into heat- Oh, I think I see the problem… I think that I should just avoid everyone for the next couple of days.” (Y/n) responded when it dawned on her about what was going on; she felt embarrassed for not realizing it sooner, especially after what happened earlier with Vrul, Sendak and Zarkon.

“That would be best. I can bring food and water to your room until you're not fertile anymore.” Komo said bluntly, offering to help (Y/n) until things went back to normal.

“Y-yeah, that's fine. Thank you.” (Y/n) replied with an embarrassed tone, grateful to at least have one friend who didn't get horny from being around her.

Kumo beamed an awkward smile at (Y/n) before she began leading the human woman to her respective bedroom, making sure she got there safely without any of the guys trying to steal her away. She knew Sendak had a crush on (Y/n) and she refused to let anything happen to her, she truly hoped they would become a couple in the near future. The only thing (Y/n) liked about her current condition was how Sendak nearly kissed her earlier, if he'd only gotten closer then they would have kissed. Kumo didn't really know much about human biology and since (Y/n) was fertile a few days after her period ended she wondered if human women were fertile more than once a deca-phoeb. Since they were going to be hanging out a lot for the next couple of days Kumo would have the opportunity to get to know (Y/n) better and visa-versa, it would be a good time for them to become better friends.
