Evangeline's long lashes trembled as she slowly opened her eyes.
An unnatural flush colored her cheeks. She frowned and said, "It's so hot..."
Thorne's emerald-green eyes darkened abruptly. His snake tail tightened as he looked down at Evangeline, his voice hoarse and serious. "Eva, your estrus has begun."

A female in estrus would experience a soaring body temperature. If she didn't find relief in time, her very life could be at risk. This was why a single female often needed several Beast Husbands taking turns to care for her, just to survive the period safely.
Evangeline's eyes half-lidded as she propped herself up, slowly sitting upright.
