Sophia and Abigail lounged on the bed watching as Danica paced back and forth. It was the night of the meet and Danica was much too nervous to relax.
"You're going to burn a hole in the floor." Abigail pointed out as she twisted a stray lock of hair around her finger.
"Yeah, you look great so relax." Sophia assured smiling. "After all, you had a great makeup artist work on you."
Stopping Danica looked at her two roommates. "I don't actually have to go right?"
Despite knowing that she did infact have to go, she still tried to convince herself otherwise. Being the creature of solitude that she was she hated having attention on her. That meant that just the thought of having to introduce herself to an entire pack of wolves was pushing her to a panic attack.
"Relax." Abigail sighed, "It isn't that big of a deal okay?"
"How is it not that big of a deal?" Danica demanded while trying to calm her racing heart.

Danica watched as men heaved large wolf carcesses into a fire blazing brightly in the middle of the training grounds.It hadn't taken much time for Mason's pack members to kill the rogues that had been brave enough to attack on their grounds. With no other way to get rid of the bodies they had settled on burning.From what Danica had saw they came across as way too easy to kill and something about the whole situation was feeling very off to her. Despite her pointing this out to Mason he had insisted that nothing was wrong and she was simply being paranoid.Even though she couldn't argue with his logic, she still couldn't shake the sense of foreboding that she was beginning to feel."You don't have to stay and watch this." Mason said now placing a jacket around Danica's shoulders."I'm alright." Danica muttered keeping her gaze fixed on the fire ahead."Are you sure?" It was easy to tell that Mason was worried fo
Gasping for air Danica pulled herself away from Mason's embrace. "What do you think you're doing?" She demanded as her face flushed a bright pink. "Your pack members are sick and you're sitting here trying to sexually harass me!" Chuckling Mason just shrugged, "I didn't see you putting up much of a fight just now." Bristling Danica tried to come up with an argument but was having a hard time doing so. Mason was right she hadn't fought him, and not only did she not fight him she actually responded to his advance. The mate bond was definitely growing stronger by the day and soon she didn't think that she would be able to withstand it at all. "Putting that aside, we need to focus on your sick pack members." Danica tried changing the subject. "Right." Mason muttered running a hand through his hair. "I'm supposed to be meeting with the medics soon to discuss whether or not they have figured anything out."
When Mason returned from his talk with Dr. Williams his face was devoid of all color. It was obvius that whatever the doctor had told him had seriously shaken him. Not sure how to go about asking what exactly had been said Danica instead just grabbed Mason's hand. She hoped that the sensations she sent to him would help soothe him as it soothed her. Sighing Mason pulled her into a hug burying his face in her neck. "That bad?" She asked cautiously as she wrapped her arms around Mason's waist. "Something like that." Mason murmured as his arms tightened their hold. "What did he say?" She wasn't sure if Mason was going to tell her, but it never hurt to ask. Lifting his head Mason looked into Danica's eyes. "Dr. Williams thinks they may have Rage Virus." "Rage Virus?" Danica asked not sure if she heard right. "Yeah, he isn't one hundred percent at this time, but their symptoms fit." Mason's face
It was well after dark when Mason finally woke up allowing Danica the opportunity to get up and stretch. Since he had been sleeping so well she just couldn't bring herself to move, so she had spent the entire time laying there just staring at the roof while being lost in her head."Morning." Danica said as Mason sat up and yawned."Mooorrning." Mason replied while yawning again. "How long did you let me sleep?""No idea." Danica wasn't sure how long it had been, she had been so engrossed in her thoughts she hadn't paid attention to the time.Getting up Mason walked over to the dresser and checked his phone. "Eight.""So, like eight hours?" Danica confirmed, no wonder she felt so stiff.Standing she did a few basic stretches to loosen up her muscles. As she did so her stomach gave a grumble. Blushing she tried to not look at Mason who was eyeing her."Should I feed you?" Mason chuckled walking over to wher
Mason paced around the cluttered space that was Nigel's living room. The old man had just finished telling them all about the prophecy and since Mason was unable to keep himself calm.Danica on the other hand was feeling a little too calm. Maybe it was because it seemed surreal to her, after all it had only been a little less than a month that she had come to be part of this world and now suddenly there was a war coming.If that was the case then what did that mean about them? What would they be able to do?As it was Danica was unable to change and would be absolutely no help in the long run, that alone made her feel some type of way."Can you stop." Nigel suddenly snapped drawing everyone's attention to him. "You're driving me mad with that wild pacing."Flinching Mason flushed slightly, "Sorry, I just can't sit idly.""But what good will all that pacing do you?" Nigel asked sagely.Huffing Mason plopped down
It was mid afternoon by the time Danica found herself breaking from all her swirling thoughts. It was the day of the full moon and she was well aware of what was to come later. As so much had gone on recently she had no time to truly consider the pain that she was going to have to go through once again.Now that the time was here it was all she could think of. Top that with a possible war breaking out, all the rogue attacks, the outbreak, and she had a mess inside her head.They had still not fully determined what Mason's infected pack members were carrying, but instead of getting better they all seemed to be worsening. On top of that even more pack members had begun to show signs of having the illness as well. Where originally the abandoned building had only held about ten deranged wolves, it now housed up to thirty.Mason had spent most of the morning making phone calls and doing paperwork, allowing Danica to be to herself.
No... This is wrong....Danica could barely think as Mason's hands had begun to work towards lifting her shirt off of her.Need... To stop.... This....The shirt had managed to slip up over her head and she was left laying on Mason's bed in nothing but her bra and pants. Above her Mason had sat up long enough to rip his shirt off.Gotta....Stop....Each thought was fleeting as pleasure pulsed through Danica sending her into an endless cycle of trying to claw her way to sane and then right back into unable to process anything."Mason..." She tried pulling her mouth away from his. "We...."She was unable to finish her sentence as Mason's mouth found hers hungrily."Mmmmmm." Mason murmured. "Don't fight it...."Don't fight it? Maybe he was right, why would she want to fight something this sweet and amazing? Every inch he kissed and touched thrummed and left her wanting more."No...." The
The moon rose, just as Danica had expected it to and with it came her body's need to change into its wolf state.The process had already begun and Danica was doing her best to try to remain strong.Beside her Mason watched in horror knowing that there was nothing he could do to help her through this except just be there as support."Can you knock me out." Danica panted as a new wave of pain surged through her. "Please.""I'm sorry." Mason said shaking his head. "I don't know if that is a good idea."Danica bit back a scream as her bones snapped and twisted only to not reshape and instead to continue doing it again and again.Sweat had begun to break out on her skin as she used her hands to claw the mattress below her trying desperately to cling to something."It hurts." Danica cried out as another wave of agony overtook her. "Mason, it hurts."Tears had begun to spring up in her eyes and fall down her cheeks.
