"Donnie!” I snap at him as instinct takes over.
The need to mate makes him feral as he locks onto her scent. My chest rattles a s I try to suppress the savage
noises leaving me. Jonah, clearly petrified, reaches for Sage when I feel my canines slip out and I turn away from
him, fighting Donnie for control, primal instincts kicking in as he sees our son as a threat.
“Jonah, get in the car,” I grit out as fur spills out up my arms. Jonah looks at me horrified, but I didn’t know how to
explain without scaring him more, Donnie wildly trying to take control when I didn’t mate her instantly.
“Dad?” Jonah cries, grabbing my arm and making my head snap in his direction. He pulls his hand away. “Dad,
you’re scaring me,” Jonah sobs and I shake my head or Donnie does at his words.
“Our Son,” I spit at Donnie, needing him t o see Jonah, not an enemy. He seems to calm slightly, letting me have
control back, and Jonah swallows and I feel my canines and claws retract before I let out a breath.

“Come here buddy, I didn’t mean to scare you,” I tell him, reaching for him. Sage groans before turning quickly and
throwing up again, barely missing my feet.
“What’s wrong with her?” Jonah asks as I brush her hair back that was sticking to her face from perspiration.
“Andrei?” Sage mumbles and I set Jonah o n his feet at my side.
“Right here, love,” I tell her.
“I feel funny”
“I know. Let’s get you home,” I tell her, scooping her up. Her skin was clammy despite it being rather chilly today.
The wind had a harsh bite and Jonah’s teeth chatter as the sun slipped behind the mountains.
Donnie was pressing beneath my skin, wanting control as I walk toward the car,
“Get the door Jonah,” I tell him and he opens the back door, and I lay Sage down o n the backseat. Jonah climbs in
beside her and my hands grip the door frame as I struggled against my wolf.

“It’s Jonah, you fucking hurt him Donnie I will drink wolfsbane, now settle down,” I tell him, as I fight him to shut the
door and not rip our son from the car.
“Jonah, Jonah our son,” he chants in my head and I finally shut the door before climbing in the driver’s side. Mind
linking Zane, I continued driving for a few minutes before pulling up out the front. Zane is waiting out the front of
the pack house, glancing around nervously.
“Jonah, go with Uncle Zane, please. You need to stay with him tonight,” I tell Jonah.
“What, why?” Jonah asks just as Zane opens the backdoor with his hands up in a surrendering gesture, knowing
Donnie would be on edge. My hands white knuckle the steering wheel.

“Most are still asleep. Malik has gone with Nora to get the berries to make the jam in case they wake,” He tells me

Zane is mated already, and Jonah still had no wolf and is a child, yet Donnie wanted them nowhere near her.
“But she will be okay?,” Jonah asks, tapping my shoulder and I catch Zane’s eye in the rearview mirror as he tried
to pull Jonah from the car.
“Jonah, you need to come with me,” Zane tells him. Fur spreads across my arms when Zane leans over Sage,
reaching for Jonah, who refuses to leave his mother.
“But why?”
“Come,” Zane hurriedly tells him, holding out his hand. O
“No, I am not leaving her,” Jonah says, slapping Zane’s hand away.
“Jonah, you need to go with Zane now!,” Donnie forces out my lips. My voice distorted and gravelly sounding, the
noise hurting the back of my throat.
“Come now,” Zane says, grabbing his arm and pulling him from the car.
“No, I want my mum,” Jonah says, kicking and screaming. Donnie realizing Jonah would not leave retreats to the
back of my mind. “Hurry up, I want her inside,” Donnie snarls at me, letting me block him out. I open my door and
get out. Zane backs away from me instantly, yanking Jonah behind him protectively, His hands out in what I assume
was a placating gesture.
“I’m fine,” I tell him and Jonah rushes over, grabbing my legs. My entire body tense as I knelt in front of him so I
was closer to his small height.
“What’s wrong with her?” Jonah asks,
“What’s wrong wi her?” Jonah asks, peering in the window. And I know he feared losing her again. It was near
impossible to keep the barrier up between me and Donnie, her scent pulling him forward as he tried to remain back
so I could have control.
A slow, steady throbbing was pulsating in my head at the strain. I needed to be quick before I gave myself a
migraine from the restraint
“She will be fine, but you need to stay with Zane and Nora tonight”
“But why?” He whines and Sage makes a groaning noise that causes Zane to tense and look in the car’s window.
“Ah, she just threw up in your car, but she is fine now,” Zane adds, and I shake my head.
Fuck! Jonah peeks through the window at her and I remain where I am, knowing if I look, it may force Donnie
forward,
“She is sick?”
“Yes and No, she is fine Jonah, but it will b e too dangerous for you to stay at home tonight,” I tell him and he turns

“Remember when Nora was sick, and we had to give everyone that special jam?” H e nods his head. “Yep, Uncle
Zane attacked Clay and uncle Malik had to help fight him off,” Jonah laughs. Zane’s cheeks flush red.
“That’s because he didn’t drink enough, but the same thing is happening to mum now and I am going to struggle to
control Donnie,” I tell him, looking at Zane.
“You’re going to give mum the cooties!”
“Gonna give her what?” I ask. My eyebrows shooting into my hairline.
“Cooties, Casen said Zane was giving Nora cooties,” Zane growled behind him. I would have to have a chat with
Casen and tell him to watch what he tells Jonah i n the future.
“Don’t listen to what Casen says. He is an idiot,” Zane says. I shake Jonah’s words off.
“You need to go stay with Zane and Nora. I will look after mum okay? You can come
I will look after mur okay? You can come see her soon,” I tell nim, not wanting to promise he can see her tomorrow,
knowing heats can be different for everyone and last longer than normal.
“Ok” Jonah mumbles, dropping his head, his shoulders sag and I reach for him, giving him a brief hug before Zane
grabs his hand pulling him away.
Once Jonah is safely tucked away, I glance around to make sure no one is about just a s Donnie smashes through
the veil that separates us, taking control as he opens the rear door. Her scent invading all my senses as I pulled her
from the backseat and head for the house. Unlocking the front door, I step inside before locking it. My vision
flickering back and forth between mine and that of my wolf.
Turning to the door panel, I scroll the menu, quickly activating the roller shutters and locking the place down.
“So hot,” Sage mumbles, her head slumped over my shoulder.
“I know, hang on” Donnie tells her, my words sound distorted by him.
“Donnie?” Sage slurs.
VULKUL.
464 SIULO.
«Yes,” he tells her as I climb the steps. Heading straight for the bathroom, I turn the shower on, trying to cool her
down and clean her up. The moment I place her feet on the ground, she lurches for the toilet, throwing up again.
My hands shaking as I hold her hair back, Donnie almost uncontrollable as her scent becomes intoxicatingly
stronger while her temperature continues to rise.
“Hospital,” Sage gasps, trying to breathe.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I am not taking you to hospital,” I tell her before chuckling to myself because she still hasn’t figured it out yet, but
considering they sterilized her as a teen, I honestly couldn’t have predicted this myself. It was no wonder this
wouldn’t even register to her because it shouldn’t b e possible. I had no clue what Kat had done, but she healed all
of Sage’s scars and I would bet everything I had that Kat had not only healed her, but restored her back to the way
she was before those monsters got their hands on her.
Stripping out of my clothes, I leave my boxers on, my cock straining painfully
boxers on, my coc training painfully against the fabric before reaching down and grabbing Sage under her arms
and pulling her against me. Holding her tightly, I tear off her clothes, tossing them away.
“Please, something’s wrong with me,” she whimpers, leaning heavily against m e. Her skin was so hot and she was
making me sweat, her scent perfuming the room makes me purr and my chest vibrate. Sage sighs, the sound
calming her. She always liked the noise. While I found it more embarrassing, Sage, however, would ask me to purr.
If she couldn’t sleep, finding comfort and Donnie always more than happy to annoy me by giving in to her. Though
now I never tried to stifte it anymore, liking her reaction and the way she instantly calms.
“You’re not sick,” I tell her and she shakes her head against my chest.
Now her clothes were off. I grip the back o fher thighs and wrap her legs around my waist, only just grabbing her as
she falls backward, mumbling incoherently. She whimpers, pressing closer against me as my skin contact offers
some kind of relief
my skin contact offr some kind of relief and I turn, opening the shower screen and stepping in.
The icy water jolts me and takes my breath and I swear my balls receded into m y throat at the harsh cold bite of
the water as it drenched me, my family jewels hiding away from the cold. Sage sighs, her temperature dropping
slightly but she was still hot, the shower screen fogging u p with steam despite there being no hot water on as I sat
down with her in my lap. I needed her temperature to go down so I could control her scent. The last thing I needed
was to have Donnie attack her while she still doesn’t know what is going on.
“You stay back until the next phase Donnie, I swear you scare her I won’t forgive you,” I tell him, needing him to
remain dormant until Sage’s wolf urges kick in.
I couldn’t allow Donnie that control, especially after the things Sage had suffered, and deep down Donnie was
aware of that because now we are safely tucked in the house and she was away from everyone. He had calmed

“I know,” Donnie tells me and I feel myself relaxing against the wall as her temperature slowly drops, waiting for
the second phase to start. Sage had to start it. Heat was rough, Sierra and Sage suffered enough, though I knew
they would understand. But I wouldn’t forgive myself if I was the one that sent her plummeting back to being timid
and scared of the world, all because Donnie is too rough if h e forces forward.
“Hospital,” Sage slurs again, her voice breaking and I could feel she was in pain a s she squirmed in my lap, as
another wave rushed over her. I reach for the soap in the niche and start washing her.
“It will ease off soon. You’re not sick, Sage. You‘re in heat,” I tell her, kissing the side of her face.
