“I’m trying, but the venom is spreading faster than I can heal him. I’m worried it will reach his heart before I have the chance to rid his body of it all.”
“What can we do? What are our options?” I was scared now, more scared than I was when I faced down Edmond.
“I don’t know.” Griffin looked like he was at a loss. “I don’t know what to do.”
“Would having two of you help? Should we get Lana?” It might have been worth a shot.
“I really don’t know. It might, but I don’t know if he would make it, he might not last that long.”
“Why did I have to send them away?” I would beat myself up my entire life if I couldn’t find a way to save Shawn.
“I might have an idea.” Dietrich’s voice was filled with apprehension. “But it is not something I had discussed with Shawn yet. I do not know if he would accept it, even to save his life.”
“Dietrich, whatever it is, I am sure that Shawn would choose to stay with you instead of dying. He loves you and he would want to be with you.”
“It’s not that simple, he might reject what it is when he wakes. And I admit, I do not know what all it will entail.”
“Will it save his life?” That was all I needed to know from him. “Will it stop him from dying?”
“I believe it will, yes.”
“Then do it. If Shawn takes an issue with it, then have him talk to me. I will explain everything to him.”
“Alright.” Dietrich was nodding as he made his decision. “I will do it.”
I watched as Dietrich knelt next to Shawn before pulling him into his arms. He wrapped his arms around him, cradling him close.
“Ich liebe dich Liebling.” Dietrich whispered before he kissed Shawn’s forehead.
I felt like I was invading on a personal moment, but I was too worried for Shawn to look away. I just kept praying to the gods, all of them, that Shawn would live.
I watched as one lonely tear streamed down Dietrich’s face. Whatever he was about to do was very emotionally hard for him, apparently. He kissed Shawn one last time, on the lips before he pulled Shawn closer to him.
As I watched on, I saw Dietrich’s eyes shift. His usually almost white shade of light blue had turned red and had begun to glow with a faint light. Then, I saw his fangs descend past his top lip so they were visible even with his mouth shut.
In the next second I watched as Dietrich lowered his mouth to Shawn’s neck. He sank his teeth into the soft flesh at the curve of shoulder and neck. He bit him right where a mate mark would appear.
For nearly a minute Dietrich kept his lips pressed against Shawn’s flesh. I just watched on in awe, not really understanding what was going on. But before long he pulled his mouth away, with a sigh and a gasp for air.
But Dietrich didn’t seem to be done just yet. The next thing that Dietrich did was bring his own wrist to his mouth. He bit down on the soft, tender flesh of his right wrist. The fangs broke into the skin bringing blood to the surface immediately.
Dietrich slowly tilted Shawn’s head back and placed his wrist against his mouth. Slowly, but with a steady stream, the blood poured into Shawn’s mouth. I saw the muscles in his throat move as he swallowed reflexively.
I had finally figured out what it was Dietrich was doing. He was turning Shawn. He was giving him a vampire’s healing ability. I just hoped it would work in time.
As I watched on I felt a slight breeze begin to stir all around us. The breeze picked up, stronger and stronger, but I seemed to be the only one affected by it. There was a slight red glow in the corner of my eyes that was soon followed by the whisper of words within my head.
“I do not choose you as my successor, but I acknowledge your strength. That is why I will aid in this endeavor. I will help the wolf boy to become a hybrid.” The voice spoke to me inside that wind.
“Who are you?” I asked reflexively.
“I am the Goddess Selene. The mother of vampires. I will aid your allies and help them. And I choose the vampire before you as my chosen one. He will be my Vampire King.”
“Thank you Selene. Thank you so much.” I felt the tears begin to run down my face.
“This road will not be easy for your friend, but he has a strong one there to aid him. I only ask that you never turn your back on my people.”
“I won’t, I want to unite the world, bring peace to all those that walk in the shadows.”
“I know that, child, that is why I am choosing to help you. Keep this alliance going strong, always remain true to your heart.”
“Thank you again Selene.” With my last thanks I felt her presence beginning to slip away and the wind started to die down. No one else even seemed to have noticed what had happened. But I was now smiling. Shawn would live.

After Dietrich bit Shawn things began to happen quickly, it was like time was making up for all the slowing down it did earlier. Things seemed to be moving at hyperspeed now instead of a snail’s pace.
I watched as Dietrich pulled his wrist away from Shawn’s mouth and Shawn immediately began to spasm. His body jerked with a sudden violent motion. But there was a bright side too, Shawn took a deep, shuddering gasp as he drew in a breath and his eyes fluttered.
“Liebling.” Shawn seemed to whisper as he looked into Dietrich’s eyes.
