The Heat Cycle Arrives

Yuri returned to her room, making a beeline for the bathroom. Her clothes were stained with the overpowering smell of alcohol and food from downstairs, a mix she found distasteful.

Filling up the bathtub, she sunk herself into the water. Ever since differentiating into a beta, her senses had become sharper, her palate favoring milder tastes. But she wondered, Is it just my taste that was affected Will it change my mood too?

She remembered reading that betas were often sensitive, deep thinkers, and tend to overthink. During their heat cycles, they could become extra vulnerable, their feelings all over the place, and quick to lose their cool...

Thinking about this description, Yuri frowned. It was true, her emotions had been kind of all over the place today.

Is my heat cycle about to start? She wondered.
