Sparks lick my shoulders as Zane literally shakes me awake.

"What?" I ask still groggy from being woke up.

"There is blood all over the sheets." Zane's eyes tells me just how much he is freaking out.

Using my hands, I push Zane off but he is trying to look all over me. First glance tells me he isn't bleeding anywhere. I sit up and can feel how it pools around me.

Great!

"Where is it coming from? How can I be so foolish to harm you while we sleep?" Zane's breathing starts to get heavier with each passing second.

I push out of the bed and gather the sheets around me. This is so embrassing.

"It will be fine, just get the sheets off the bed and then from there use a sponge from the cabinet to clean the mattress if it is on there." I grimace, making my way to the bathroom.

I turn the water on and strip from the shirt I had on along with the sheet. Maybe I should have just told Zane that this is a normal function, since he doesn't seem to know about women's bodies. Thing is this is the first one I have had in over eleven years and it is just as unpleasant as it used to be.

My stomach starts to cramp up and I step under the water. Washing off, I step out and grab a towel.

I look through the drawers and I have never thought to stock up on the one item I currently need. How can I go over a week now being human again and completely forget about periods?

"Keava?" Zane knocks on the bathroom door.

"Just a minute." I sigh and line my panties with some toliet paper at least until I can get my hands on a tampon.

God this is embrassing as ever!

I swing the door open and walk to the closet. Throwing on a dress, I slip on some shoes.

"What is going on?" Zane still is going insane, but right now I have to get what I need.

"I will be fine. There is just something I have to find." I sigh.

"There was blood on you and now its just gone." Zane's voice actually takes the highest pitch I have ever heard.

A knock sounds on our bedroom door and Zane rushes over to open it. Jasel stands there in a long shirt that I have seen Conan wear.

"You linked?" Jasel looks to Zane groggily.

"Keava was bleeding and I don't know where it is coming from. Can you figure it out with your witch stuff? Maybe a lingering affect of the vamperism is showing up." Zane rushes out.

Jasel looks to me and her face scrunches up in confusion.

"My period made its ugly appearance and wolfman here apparently knows nothing of a female body." I huff.

Jasel busts out in a laugh a moment later. She holds her stomach and runs from the bedroom.

"What the hell is a period?" Zane spins to face me.

"Seriously?" I look at him.

Zane shrugs and I go on to explain it all to him. Which feels very odd to be explaining it out.

"She wolves don't get that but I heard Jasel talking to Conan about it once." Zane sighs.

My eyes bug out. "That isn't fair. How do they get pregnant then?"

"They go through heat cycles. She wolves just get overly horny as well as their bodies will reach high tempatures until they get the sexy time with their mates. Heat only comes on with your mate and if a mate parishes then heat just goes away too. Apparently it happens for chosen mates to once their wolves know and accept, to where they can conceive but its still through heat." Zane shrugs.

I wave my hands in front of me.

"I am still way to tired even get further into this conversation." I sigh.

Jasel walks back in, with the door never being closed. She hands me a box and I thank her hard for getting these for me. After Jasel leaves the room, closing the door back.

I walk to the bathroom again and clean up again before getting situated out.

"So what is it that you use to help not make a mess?" Zane looks at me with curious eyes.

"A tampon?" I pick one up and he nods.

I see a water bottle off to the side and fill it up in the sink some. I take the tampon and then proceed to show him how it works because at this point it is just easier than explaining.

By time everything is done, Zane looks pale.

"I am going to have troubles drinking from water bottles if that pops in my head now." Zane screeches.

I bend over holding my stomach to laugh. Once I can finally stand up right, I wipe my eyes.

"Well, this also means no sexy time for you while this is going on." I sigh sadly.

"I mean it is not that bad now, but at the time I had to process. I could be a true man and just."

"NO! Asboutely not! We will not being having any of that time for a few days." I hold my hands out.

"I can't go for days."

"Yes, days you will." I nod and get back in the bed.

Zane joins me and pulls me into his hard chest. I can tell when Zane falls to sleep, but everything that just happened in the span of thirty minutes makes me laugh silently.

When morning comes, I wash up again and dress for the day. Zane goes to his office and I walk to the kitchen.

No sooner than I walk through the kitchen, Jasel starts laughing.

"Conan had the same reaction with me so it is normal." Jasel giggles.

"I found it funny." I laugh lightly.

I honestly was thinking when I got woke up that the nest had made its way here. This is the third night in a row with nothing and I know Zane is speaking with the other Alpha to see it is was the same for them or not.

It all eats at me with what is going on at there beyond the packs border. One thing I have come to hate is the silence and the unknown like that. What is the end game and why wait so long?

After breakfast, I follow Zane to his office and sure enough the other pack has had silence too. The nest has not been back through any of the packs they have searched through already either.

One other thing I hate is games. Right now this nest has the upper hand and I feel like we are sitting ducks until something gives. It is not like we have a large enough warrior base to hunt the nest down and protect the pack. The last thing Zane and I want is to form allies with another pack to be in debt to them.
