I opened my mouth to howl as the agonizing pain shot through my body but no sound came out. I felt the vampire's hands release my shoulders as I slowly sank to the ground, blindly clutching the wound as my eyes streamed with tears of pain.
Dimly I could hear the vampires conversing about something but all I could focus on was the burning sensation spreading throughout my body. Was I dying? Was a vampire bite fatal to a werewolf? My blood was screaming in my veins and my Wolf was howling in fury in the back of my mind, urging me to get up, to fight it. She wanted me to Shift but the pain of the bite and the sensation of the venom in my veins distracted me and distanced me from her. I wasn't sure I would be able to Shift at all; maybe that was one of the side effects of vampire poison.
