Chapter 26

Samantha Point of View 

Christina was the one who explained what the term, “heat” meant. Just like actual regular wolves, werewolves have cycles of heat, in which they have a strong desire to mate. 

This usually happens only with female werewolves. Unlike wolves’ heat cycle which occurs once a year during winter, werewolves’ heat cycle occurs to those who found their mate but were unable to complete their mating process. The mating process includes the male having intercourse with his mate and biting their mate in the neck. 

The point of the bite was to mark that that werewolf was taken and for the heat cycle not to happen again in the future. The ones who are affected by the scent of heat of the female are unmated werewolves and their mate. Family or mated werewolves are not affected at all.
