Is a mistake from the Moon Goddess 258
Chapter 258
My heat took a full week to disappear. And the entire tcried for Rowan, | needed his touch, but | was left
alone chained to the wall of my bedroom. The pain was excruciating, but it still never compared to the pain of
giving birth, which I still remembered viscerally. But both now and then paled to having my new born pup laying
on my chest struggling to breathe only to be ripped from me.
| wanted to be mad at Rowan. | actually wanted to hate him I laid in my bed, burning from the heat, the pain
setting my nerves on fire, knowing that his touch, anyone's touch, would save me. But he was right. | would have
regretted it after it was said and done. | screamed all day, all night. | couldn't eat, | barely slept. Wendy and Toya
were there to help with anything | needed.
Micca and Hanna cand visited, but they handled everything out of the apartment for me. Ensuring
everything was in place for the start of the second year. They handled the shopping, the rumors, everything that
might pop up, they handled. They also brought the girls' dinner, so they didn't have to leave me.

Which | was thankful for. Because the only sleep | got the entire week was when one of them heldthrough
the night. They dealt with my sobs, my anger, my pleading. Through it all, they were understanding. The first
couple of days, they tried to talk toabout Rowan, but | had to ask them eventually if they could stop.
The heat cin waves; | went from sobbing uncontrollably, begging someone to helpto having a small
break to pull myself together. The back-and-forth swing was so violent, so fast, it was wrecking havoc on my
system. | went from hot flash to freezing. Excruciating pain to numbness. | had flashes of memories when the
heat faded enough forto be coherent, to a weird jumbled memories of freezing water, crying and full need.
On the morning of the seventh day, | woke up, cool to the touch and coherent enough to crack my eyes open
and sit up. Toya shifted, rolling over to look at me. "Good morning." | looked at my best friend and | broke down.
" Amy, what's wrong?" She pushed up from the bed and wrapped her arm around my shoulder.
| laughed. "What's wrong?" | looked at her. "What's right, Toya?"
"What do you mean?" She was looking atlike | was a bomb that might go off at any moment.
And for the last week | was. | felt guilt crawl up my throat. "Our families are in hiding. My mom is surrounded by
men trying to control her. We are stuck here at school. Someone is working with the rogues to overthrow our
king, and | just spent the last week begging a man to want me." | closed my eyes and shook my head. "We still
don't know why Thinus killed himself instead of coming clean, and | have a feeling that everything is going to get
a lot worse before it gets any better."
Toya sighed but rubbed my arm. "Yeah. | have the sfeeling, but you are worried about everything all at
once. Let's get up and regroup. Make a solid plan. We have class starting tomorrow, too." | groaned and wiped at
my face. | couldn't focus on this right now. "Are you okay now? She turned my face and looked closely. "I think
you're past everything. How are you actually feeling, body wise?"
| thought for a moment and then sighed. "My mind is going a million miles a minute, but physically? I'm a little
sore, tired, starving, and | could probably chug a bathtub worth of water. It could be worse." | pushed back the
covers and stood, stretching. The cool air touched my naked skin, and | shivered. | looked down to see | was still
in just my underwear. | turned to look at Toya and | gestured to my body.
She laughed. "You have no idea how hard it was to keep you in this." She stood. "Now go shower. For someone
that spent a week in the tub, you stink."
I slapped my hand on my chest. "That hurts." She laughed again and pushedtowards the bathroom.
"Fully shower, your hairy ass legs gaverug burn."
