"What's this?" Leia asked, eyeing the small pill resting in Greta's palm. Her voice trembled with unease. "I shouldn't take more... I'm already freaking out."
Greta gently closed the distance between them. "It's a special heat suppressant. You should definitely take it, Leia. Do you really want the Alphas to come near you right now? You told me yourself, you're still unsure about everything."
Leia hesitated, her eyes darting toward the pill again. "I already took two a few hours ago... but they didn't help. If anything, I feel even hotter now."
"That's because this one's different," Greta said, her tone reassuring. "It's a stronger formula. Hybrid-tested," she added with a slight smirk. "You know I'm part human, part wolf. For hybrids like me, heat cycles aren't as intense as they are for pure-bloods, but I still take this when it gets overwhelming."
She reached out, gently placing the pill in Leia's palm and curling her fingers around it.
