Fragile, Innocent, and Scared

Chapter 18

Parental Vision required. Jk, but it does get intense.

Flora's P.O.V

Today hanging out with Liam, I had fun, although I didn't remember anything about him. He said that he had taken me to the carnival and I fell off one of the rides due to a faulty seatbelt. I guess that could be why my neck hurts so much. Standing in the kitchen, Liam came up behind me, wrapping his arms around my waist and resting his head on my shoulder. He hummed to a tune and slowly rocked us side to side. I sighed and leaned back into him, it easing the heat I felt slightly. Liam had told me I was going into heat as we had waited for our three year anniversary to fully mate. Sadly for me, that was today. He brought me flowers and cards, chocolates and jewels. My wolf for some reason distanced herself away from him, keeping quiet.

"Happy Anniversary Flora." He whispered into my hair and lightly feathered kisses on my the column of my neck. I spun around in his grip and kissed him instead, feeling my whole body temperature heat up. I felt as if I was in the sun on a hot day when in actuality it was cooler outside. I ran my fingers through his blonde hair as we kissed. He pushed me against the counter, instantly wrapping my legs around his waist. We broke the kiss and while I gained my breath he lightly kissed the skin showing above my tank top, which had been pulled dangerously low. "Do you want me to make the heat go away?" Liam asked, his voice deeper. I stared down into his eyes, which were a darker shade. I lay my head on his shoulder, tightening my legs around his waist. "Y-.." "Alpha Liam" A voice was quick to interrupt me. Liam growled and shifted his gaze to the little wolf at the door. "Leave now." He seemed angry. I placed my hands on his shoulders to relax his tense muscles but he didn't calm down. "Anna (don't remember if I ever named her wolf) how do I calm Liam down. He is our mate. We need to calm him down." She remained quiet and I felt rejected. She was never quiet.

"Alpha there is a rogue that is in the prison. He seems to want to injure the Beta's mate." Feeling another wave of heat, I groaned in pain and stepped into the walk in freezer that was in the corner of the room. The low temperatures trying desperately to soothe my aching body. " Liam go ahead its fine." I said as I sat on the floor, trying to smile at him. I didn't want to take my mate away from his duties for he would seem weak. Liam looked irritated but nodded his head and left the kitchen, following the small pup outside. I sighed as I heard the door click. I really don't need him to be gone.

"Call the pack doctor and ask for some medicine" was the first and last thing I heard my wolf say to me. I instantly climbed up from the box of frozen french fries and walked out of the freezer, sealing the door. I called the pack doctor and soon she was in the house and directing me to bed, saying I needed to sleep. "The medication will cause to sleep for a good while. This is a way of temporarily extending the heat and mating process." She smiled at me. "Make sure to drink ice cold water when you wake and you should be out for... hmm let's see. It's two right now, so you should be out until midnight easily. I made sure to give you a heavier dosage of the medication knowing your heat is stronger than most female wolves as your mate is an alpha." 'Yeah he is, and he will come back to us.' Anna said to no one. With that she wished a nice rest and left the house. It didn't take long before I was falling asleep.

*Dream*

Walking around a set of bleachers I had two burgers in my hands. One was for me and the other was for someone else. I didn't know who. I only saw blonde hair and darker colored hair. Turning around the bleachers I saw someone being horribly injured by another. I saw two boys. They were both fighting, "each yelling, "Mine!" I stood rooted to the spot as I watched the two bicker and fight. Suddenly one shifted into their wolf and mauled the other. "No!" I screamed. Dropping the burgers I ran to the fight and pulled the injured boy's head onto my lap. From above me I heard the other boy snicker, clearly shifted back to his human form. His light colored hair shining in the sun. "The only way to help him is to mark him, help him through his pain. Too bad your mine." With that hands grabbed me and pulled me away from the boy unconscious with pain. *
