Denise’s POV My usual debonair and bubbly self was reduced to an opposite version of me ever since my mate showed up. I was going to reject him, I never wanted a mate in the first place, I loved my life the way it was and there were so many things about who I was that I really wanted to figure out before allowing myself to be tied down to any man in the name of mate bond. My body burned up in flames shattering every ounce of control I had left. I was in heat, the time in a werewolf’s life when her s****l libido is heightened because he or she is unmarked by their mates. I rushed into the shower immediately and entered into the tub immersing myself into the warmness of the water. My body cooled down a little but it wasn’t going to last long. As soon as I left the water the heat returned.
