“Then do it. If Shawn takes an issue with it, then have him talk to me. I will explain everything to him.”
“Alright. I will do it.” I finally conceded to do what I knew might save my love even if he hated me for it.
Slowly I walked back to his side and knelt next to him before pulling him into my arms. I wrapped my arms around him, cradling him close to me, hugging him tight.
“Ich liebe dich Liebling.” I whispered that I loved him before I gently kissed Shawn’s forehead.
I felt the shift take over me then, changing my eye color and bringing out my fangs. And after one last deep breath for courage I lowered my head to Shawn’s neck.
I bit him then, right at the place where wolves mark their mates. I bit into his soft tender flesh and let his blood flow into my mouth. For nearly a minute I drew his blood into my me with long, slow draws. The blood was tainted, I could taste it, but it wouldn’t affect me and I needed to do this. I could not live without my Shawn, not for a day, not for an hour, not for a minute. I needed him.
I nearly sighed when I finally released him, when I stopped pulling the blood from him. But it wasn’t over yet. I still had more to do.
I didn’t care about moving anything out of the way first, I just brought my wrist to my mouth and bit down on the soft flesh over the artery there. When my blood started to flow I tilted Shawn’s head back and placed his lips against the cut I had made. Shawn’s mouth was partially opened and the blood flowed from my wrist and into his opened mouth.
I nearly cried out in joy when I saw that Shawn had swallowed reflexively. It was going to work, it had to. I was going to save my lover, my mate, my Shawn.
The moment I pulled my wrist away from Shawn’s mouth I willed the cut on my wrist to close instantly. Immediately after pulling the blood away from him Shawn started to spasm. The transformation had started.
Shawn’s body shook violently but he also finally took a deep shuddering breath as his eyes fluttered open.
“Liebling.” Shawn seemed to whisper as he looked into my eyes.
“Wolfsliebe.” I felt relieved when I saw my mate wake up. “How do you feel?”
“I think I’m fi-.” That was as far as Shawn got before he was hit with a sudden spasm of pain and he jerked violently in my arms. “Ahhhh!” He screamed in pain, his head thrown back with the long, loud cry.
“Shawn?” Riviana ran forward, her voice cracking.
“Shawn, my darling, what is wrong?” Fear wracked through me as I tried to help him.
“It hurts, it all hurts.” Shawn was shaking uncontrollably.
“It’s the changing.” Riviana looked at me knowingly.
“I did not know it would be this painful.” Shawn seemed too far gone, wracked with too much pain to even hear what we were saying.
“Selene told me it would be hard, but that he had you there to help him.”
“Selene?” I couldn’t believe what I had just heard her say to me. “You spoke with the Goddess Selene, the mother of vampires?”
“Yes, while you were giving Shawn your blood she came to me and spoke to me. And she told me something else.”
“What? Will it help Shawn?”
“Yes, Dietrich, I think it will. She told me you are her chosen one, you are the Vampire King.”
“I didn’t know we had such a thing.” I wanted to laugh, I truly did, but I couldn’t bring that sort of joy out of me while my love was shaking in pain.
“But this means you are Goddess blessed the same as I am, you will have new abilities now. And you can use them to help Shawn.”
“I hope you’re right.”
I scooped Shawn into my arms then, cradling him close as I shadow walked back to the estate. I needed to get him somewhere safe and comfortable. I knew the others would be there to see us later.

Shawn hadn’t stopped shaking and spasming from the pain by the time I got him back to my room in the estate. I knew that this part was going to be the worst of it for him. I didn’t remember my days of the change hitting me in the beginning, but I have seen it in many others. The pain would ravage through his whole body, changing his entire genetic make up until he was an entirely different being.
At least, that is how it happens for humans becoming vampires. I had never seen, nor made, a hybrid. I had never seen nor heard of a werewolf becoming a half vampire. I had no idea how this was going to affect him, or if he would even survive the change itself.
I was filled with hope and fear, optimism and pessimism, determination and guilt, all of it at the same time and it was making me feel like my heart was being pulled in a million different places at the same time.
While I sat in the chair next to Shawn’s side I felt a sort of pull. Something tugging at me, but only my consciousness, not my body. I tried to fight it, I tried to stay with Shawn, but it was no use. I couldn’t fight the power of whatever it was that was summoning me.
I felt myself slip into a semi unconscious state. My mind felt like it was falling. Just falling and falling and falling.
When I felt myself slowing down, when I was finally able to see what was around me and where I was I saw that I was in the clearing where Riviana and Joaquin had held their wedding. There was a large circular stone that seemed to be shining in the light of the moon. I didn’t even know it was dark outside yet.
“Hello Dietrich.” I heard a smooth, beautiful female voice. I jerked around upon hearing it and saw a woman standing before me. She was shorter than I was by several inches, probably around Riviana’s height. Her black hair and silver eyes were striking against her pale complexion. She seemed to be dressed in what looked like a black spider silk dress that barely covered the top of her body but went into a full skirt to trail behind her. She had black makeup on her eyes and lips as well as black nails. And her fangs were poking out from the top of her mouth.? She was like a vampire born of the night.
