When Alyssa told me about the heat, I didn’t imagine it would be anything like this. My body is burning up from the inside out. Nothing can tame the fire or the ache deep inside me. I can’t sleep. I barely eat or drink. All I want is my mates, but even they can’t quell the fire. He has to undo what he broke between us or I’m going to die. One by one, my alien mates fall sick to the fever, like my heat has spread through us all. They won’t give up, fighting for me, for us. But I don’t know how long we’re going to survive before we break.
