Xue Meng wasn't a big fan of being in heat, I mean, who would ever be? But the problem wasn't just the gnawing need of being bred like a dog—unfortunately—, it also was his heavy change of behavior, mood swings and clinginess. He even wants to avoid thinking about it, but he's extremely protective of his nest. His nest is full of the Mei twins' clothing, their alpha scent surrounding him and working between lulling him to sleep when he's alone and coaxing him into fingering himself to imminent death.

He doesn't even remember most of the things happening when he's in heat!

Xue Meng felt his skin itching, sweating heavily and shifting uncomfortably on his nest. He whined against one of the biggest pillows, made of a nasty pile of robes—his alphas were right there, he just won't humiliate himself by calling for them like a lost pup. His tail was thrashing wildly, and his ears were pressed flat against his hair. He looked down with a pout like he had been kicked for bad behavior—he started tugging on his clothes, trying to get comfortable enough with just his light inner robes. Wasn't working!
