Breathe, Andi. Now.”
    The demand for her obedience rang like a bell. A miraculous cue for her airway to open. Just enough to suck in a desperate gasp of air. Ohlen praised her, commanding that she take another breath. Then another until it didn’t feel like she was being suffocated. She could barely hear him for the roaring in her ears. The pounding beat of her heart, racing erratically, banging against her ribs hard enough to bruise.
    “What…what’s happening to me?” she whimpered. Groaning when her spine bent back at an impossible angle,
    “An unimaginable miracle, my one. I can smell my beast on your skin.”
    “What ?”
    “You are changing, little one. Somehow you have taken part of my beast inside you. She is trying to come out now. I beg of you, please Andi. Do not fight this. Allow her to come and the pain will ease.”
    “Ohlen, make it stop! Please make it stop!”

    Andi shrieked and began to writhe again. Her pain so great it was impossible for him not to feel it. His eyes burned, helpless to do anything but hold her steady so she didn’t snap her own spine. She begged him to make it stop. Begged him. He would have given his life to spare her from such pain. But however this had happened, he knew there was no stopping it. If she fought it much harder, she would die. Right here on the floor of his quarters. In his arms. He forced himself to steady. To be calm as her emerging beast could likely smell his fear. That smell would only make her beast fight that much harder.
    “Listen to my voice, Andi.”
    She choked out a sob, twisting, fighting to get free of his hold on her. It devastated him that he was forced to pin her to the floor. Even to help her, he hated it. There was no alternative. He was not willing to risk her death.
    “You have taken part of me inside you. Part of my beast. You feel claws raking at your insides. Fur where there ought not to be fur. You hear roaring in your ears. You fight that thing inside you because you are brave. Because you are strong. Because you are afraid. I vow it to you on my soul, on our bond, you have no reason to fear.”
    Andi keened. A ragged sound of pain that sliced him deeper than any blade ever could have done.
    “Hurts,” she sobbed.
    Her mouth was stained with blood from where four delicate little fangs had pushed through her gums. Shredded her soft lips.
    “I know, I know it does. I remember your pain. I remember your fear. I promise you, it will end. I will not leave you until it does. I’m here, I’m right here, I will never leave you alone.”
     
    Ohlen watched in horrified fascination as her dark eyes brightened. Shimmered as her beast rolled close to the surface, pulling her pupils up into vertical slits.
    She was doing it.
    She was going to change.
    It took all his control, all his ability to stay steady. To not let his emotion fill his voice or alter his scent. To not allow his fears to influence her beast as it struggled to come forward.
    “Listen to my voice. Breathe. Feel her moving inside you. She fights and claws inside you because you fight back. She needs out, little one. Let her go. Let her come and the pain will stop.”
     
    Ohlen had never in his life felt such honor.
    The moment Tarek had commanded him to take his place among the warriors aboard the First Warship? Didn’t even come close to this. To this moment where he saw the trust Andi had come to feel towards him, shine in her changing eyes. He scrambled past the emotion choking him to describe the sensations he remembered from his first change to her. Told her what he had felt. What she might feel. How the change would happen,
    “When it is over, I will carry you down to medical and Ga’rae will give you something to ease the soreness. Your body will hurt. Your muscles sore from having been forced to accommodate your new shape. We will rest together when it is over. I will be right here to guide you into changing back to your small self. Everything will
