Selene's POV~
The steering wheel felt hot under my palms, or maybe it was only me. I wasn't sure anymore. The air in the car was thick and heavy, pressing against my skin until I could hardly breathe.
My breath came out ragged, too fast, and too shallow, and no matter how many times I tried to calm myself, it just wouldn't slow down.
My whole body felt like it was burning from the inside out, like a fire had been lit under my skin and was spreading fast, leaving me restless and aching in ways I did not want to admit.
The road ahead blurred in and out of focus, my eyes stinging with sweat, my mind slipping like it was caught in a fog. I cursed under my breath again and again, but it didn't help. My chest tightened, my throat felt dry, and I knew something was wrong with me. Terribly wrong.
It wasn't supposed to be like this. I never thought it would come so soon. The flood I had dreaded, the one thing I had always pushed to the back of my mind, was here. My heat cycle.
