on her feet, running at him, kneeling by him, telling the guards to get off. She shielded him with her body, would they shock her too?
His eyes rolled in his head. He felt the touch of her palm on his cheek, her voice in his ears and a different jolt of electricity seemed to course through him. She was his, and now he had to make her his.
“Do it,” she said in his ear, and he moved his mouth towards her neck, not knowing what to do. The Internet had said he had to bite her, but where? How? What if he killed her, hit an artery and she bled out here on the floor?
And then his lion took over, his teeth extended, it was as if he was half man, half beast, and he tasted her blood, his DNA passing into her as she screamed in pain.
The sound gripped his heart and squeezed it so hard he thought it would explode. He had hurt her, the person he was supposed to protect above all others and he had bitten her, making her bleed. Making her the same as him.
“Get off her.” Angry voices. A hand pulled at his collar and tried to drag him off. He had to release her and his teeth retracted, although his arms still held her tight.
“What the hell! That is fucked up,” one of the guards yelled, and then there was the sound of retching.
“Shit. Shit,” another guard said over and over while he stared at Lottie, who was writhing in pain.
In amongst the confusion he did the only thing he could do to keep her safe: he lifted her up in his arms and, despite her cries, carried her towards the gate, towards his home, and now her home. With angry shouts behind him, he ran until he was back in Shifters Prime.
Collapsing on the floor, he looked down at Lottie, seeing the blood, her pain, and the horror of what he had inflicted on her. She would never be able to go home.
“Well, I haven’t seen such an entrance for a long time,” the guard from this side said. “Come on, buddy, she needs some medical attention. Then I think you should explain to me exactly what happened.”
“Will she be all right?” Daniel asked quietly, and then he looked around. “Where’s Lea? Where’s the girl I was with?”
“Don’t worry, my wife took her into the house. Some things a child isn’t supposed to see, and I think this is one of them.”
Daniel stared down at Lottie as she began to convulse. This was the worst thing he had ever done. He had wanted to make her safe, but instead it looked as if he had killed her.
Chapter Thirteen – Lottie
Searing pain caused her body to spasm once more. How much more of this did she have to endure, how much more of this could her body take? Every nerve ending, every fibre of her being was on fire, flames licking at her skin, burning in her brain as her body altered inexplicably.
What she looked like she couldn't tell, but Daniel, who had been beside her through every sickening moment, looked horrified. She tried to lift her hand, to see if she had claws, or fur sprouting from the back of her hands. Her body didn't have the energy, or maybe she just didn't have the control of her muscles anymore.
And she knew why, it was because there was someone else inside her brain, another voice she hadn’t heard before. Or was she going mad, hearing voices of disconnected ghosts that haunted her consciousness?
Daniel spoke; he offered her water. Helping her lift her head, he put the cup to her lips, and she tried to lap it. What the hell! She tried again, reaching inside herself to find the person she was, Lottie. Charlotte Jenson, orphan of Margaret and William Jenson. She clung to them, hoping that if she did die, that if this was the end of her life, then she might see them again in heaven.
Was there a heaven? Any kind of afterlife, where people went when they died? But she wasn’t a person anymore, she was different: she was two beings in one body.
The human side of her fought to gain control. She wasn't ready to leave this life yet; she wanted to spend time with Daniel. He had told her he was
