I blink slowly as I try to digest what he means by that.Surely the heat cycle shouldn't take longer than this! I was almost losing it. Why should something like this be so painful? And why should it take seven days? Beck realizes that I'm confused so he starts explaining even before I want to ask what he means by that. "The heat cycle takes seven days and everyday your body will go through tremendous pain and emit a strong scent that will attract any wolf to mate with you,"he explains. I don't entirely understand everything because why should my scent attract any wolf and not just my mate?If Effie knew that the pain during the heat cycle is awful why did she just leave me like that ? Or maybe I'm just paranoid? Effie clearly said she would find some help and left me alone...with the doo
