Chapter 399: Chapter 399: Heat Cycle
POV: Maya
The full moon was rising, and with it came a biological pull that Maya couldn’t deny or resist.
Heat cycle. Second one since her transformation, but this one felt different. Stronger. More desperate.
And Kai was away.
She’d felt it starting that afternoon, the slight elevation in her body temperature, the hypersensitivity of her skin, the way her pussy was already starting to get wet with anticipation. The way every fiber of her being was screaming for her mate.
By evening, she couldn’t stay in her own room anymore. Couldn’t stand the separation from him when her body was in this state.
So she’d made her way through the quiet hallways of the estate to Kai’s room. His scent hit her the moment she’d opened the door, all intoxicating and possession and love. It wrapped around her like a blanket, providing some relief from the desperate ache building inside her.
She’d locked the door behind her and collapsed into his bed, completely naked because clothing felt like torture against her hypersensitive skin.
The first night had been torture. Pure torture.
By the second day, as the full moon reached its peak, the ache had intensified to almost unbearable levels. Her pussy was wet constantly, her body’s arousal building with no relief in sight. Her wolf was screaming for her mate, crying out through the mate bond with desperate need.
She’d tried touching herself, but her own touch only made the ache worse. Her body knew the difference. Knew that nothing would satisfy this need except Kai. Only Kai.
Maya had whimpered against his pillow, breathing in his scent, pressing her face into his sheets. She’d spent hours like that, sometimes sleeping fitfully, sometimes awake and desperate, always aching.
The sun was setting on the second day when she felt it.
A shift in the mate bond. A surge of his energy. A desperate call that matched her own.
Kai was coming back.

POV: Kai
The entire ride back to the estate had been torture.
Kai had felt the moment it happened, felt her body entering heat, felt the desperate biological pull of the full moon mixing with her cycle, felt her need for him broadcasting through their mate bond with such intensity that he’d nearly abandoned the pack meeting to get back to her immediately.
He’d managed to stay for the conclusion of the discussion, but the moment it was finished, he’d made excuses. The actual reason, that his mate was in heat and needed him...was more important than any pack business could ever be.
The ride back had felt eternal. His body thrummed with the need to get to her, to claim her, to satisfy the biological imperative that was building in him in response to her heat cycle.
When he finally arrived at the estate and went to check in with the omega at the main desk, the answer came before he asked the question.
"Your mate’s been in your room since yesterday," the omega said immediately. "She wouldn’t come out, wouldn’t accept food, just locked the door. She’s in heat, isn’t she?"
"Yes," Kai said shortly. "Thanks. I’m going now."
He took the stairs two at a time, his wolf so close to the surface that his eyes had shifted to full amber. By the time he reached his room, he could smell her through the door.
Heat. Arousal. Desperate need.
He lifted his hand to knock, and the door opened before his fist made contact.
Maya stood in the doorway completely naked.
Her body was flushed, her eyes wild with need, her hair messy from running her hands through it repeatedly. He could see the slight sheen of arousal on her inner thighs, could smell her heat so strongly it was almost overwhelming.
The moment she saw him, she made a sound...half gasp, half whimper...that went straight to his cock.
"Kai," she gasped. "Oh god, you’re back. I was going crazy. The ache. The need. I couldn’t...I just came to your room because..."
"I know," Kai said, his voice rough. "I felt it through the bond. I’m here now."
He stepped into the room and closed the door behind him, immediately locking it.
For a moment, he just looked at her. In heat and completely naked. Completely desperate for him.
Kai closed the distance between them and cupped her face in his hands, pulling her toward him. His mouth found hers in a kiss that was all desperation and possession, his tongue moving into her mouth like he was claiming her from the inside out.
Maya’s hands found his shirt, and she started pulling at the buttons frantically, trying to get it off him.
Kai broke the kiss just long enough to rip the shirt off completely, buttons scattering across the floor. His hands found the waistband of his pants, and he started pushing them down while still keeping one hand on her, needing to maintain contact with her skin.
When he was finally naked, Kai pulled her against his body completely. Her breasts pressed against his chest. His hard cock was against her stomach. And he could feel the heat radiating from between her legs.
"Come here," he said roughly, and he lifted her up.
Maya’s legs immediately wrapped around his waist as he carried her to the bed. He didn’t put her down gently. He laid her down on the mattress with controlled urgency, his body immediately moving between her spread legs.
For a moment, he just looked at her. Her pussy was swollen, her arousal evident in the way her opening glistened. Her clit was visible, slightly engorged, begging for attention.
"I’m going to take care of you," Kai said, his voice dropping to something primal. "I’m going to make the ache go away."
He lowered his head, and his tongue made first contact with her opening.
The sensation made Maya gasp.
After over a day of desperate, unfulfilled need, having his mouth on her finally was almost overwhelming.
Kai moved his tongue through her folds slowly, deliberately, exploring every inch of her. He wasn’t rushing. Wasn’t trying to get her to orgasm immediately. Just tasting her, worshipping her, taking his time.
His tongue traced her opening, then moved upward to circle her clit. The movement was slow and measured, and it made Maya’s hips try to thrust upward seeking more pressure.
"Stay still," Kai commanded against her. "Let me taste you properly."
