all your excess hormones. If it
didn’t, they could kill you. When I started kissing you again though, I relaxed
your muscles and got you close enough that your body could skip to the purging
stage.”
    I finish my eggs and go to the bathroom. He sits there. I take a shower
and scrub my body and my mouth out. I’ve never felt so dirty in my life.
    I’m getting dressed when he knocks on my door. “Sara. I know you’re
getting dressed and I know that you heard everything I said. I want to
apologize. You probably feel like I took advantage of you. If you do, I don’t
blame you. I’m going to finish what I started by getting rid of that guy, and
then I promise if you really want me to, I’ll leave.”
    He walks back to the kitchen and I start to cry. I wipe my eyes and get
my under clothing on. There’s a twinge in my back, then another. They turn into
a stabbing pain.
    I drop to the floor. “Da-amian?”
    I barely get his name out between the stabs of pain. I hear him run
down the hall as another one hits, and another. He drops to the floor with his
arms on my shoulders.
    “Crap! Okay, just relax. I know it’s scary.”
    I try to breathe through it. “What’s happening?”
    He looks down. “You’re beginning the change. I’ve never seen it happen
this soon before. My sister’s didn’t even happen this fast.”
    The pains are coming faster now. I feel like my body is trying to explode.
“Make-it–stop!” I barely get that out before I collapse.
    He rolls me over. “Sara, I know how much it hurts. Just keep breathing.
You’re almost through it.” My skin felt like it was crawling. “I only know of
one way to make it stop, but I can’t.”
    I look up at him with all of the pain in my eyes pleading,
“P-pleas-s-e. I can’t do this alone.”
    He shakes his head. “Alright, but it won’t stop it for good.”He leans over
and kisses me. He rubs my arms, and digs his nails in my back. He continues
kissing me and pulls his shirt off. He moves to my ear and whispers, “If I bite
your neck, it should stop for now. Are you sure you want me to do this.”
    I shake my head and manage an “uh-huh” before I lose myself in the pain
again.

Chapter Thirteen
    Damian starts kissing my neck more and I feel him open his mouth
against it. He starts sucking on it like he was giving me a sucker bite. I feel
a twinge where he’s sucking and then a strange sensation like my energy and his
are one.He releases his mouth and licks my neck delicately. He turns his head
to mine and kisses me again. I taste my blood, but it doesn’t taste like blood.
There’s something different about it. My body goes still and the pain stops. He
keeps kissing me. He moves down to my belly and kisses it to. He kisses me up
and down my arms and legs stopping wherever I have clothes on. Then he sits up
on his knees and moans.
    I feel it to. “What was that?”
    As I asked, the answer flowed into my head as if he were talking to me.
“When I bit you, our minds bonded. As I stopped kissing you, I felt what you
felt. You can hear my thoughts and I can hear yours. This is what I meant when
I said preparing to mate. If I hadn’t done this, you would be a wolf before
your aunt gets here and would still be in pain. I went though it without a
mate, but I had prepared for it all of my life. I’ll understand if you don’t
want to talk to me again. If we don’t mate and I don’t bite you again, we’ll
lose this connection. It doesn’t become permanent until you’ve mated.”

I look into his eyes. “If you feel that way about me, why did you stop?
Oh. You’re afraid that I’ll resent you if you did that now. I know. You won’t
listen to me right now so I may as well stop trying.” We both laugh. “How long
will this link last? Until Monday of next week, you think? Wait, you don’t
know? Sorry, I guess that does get a little annoying. I’ll try not to finish
your thoughts before you have them if you try not to assume I am confused
