The Vampire's Wolf Mate.

12. Darkness came

Tasha was rushing. It was the night of her change and she wanted to be home before dark.

She hurriedly changed out of the dress and shoes that she was wearing, while signaling for the make-up artist.

"Get all this goop off me!" she half yelled.

The make-up artist quickly got some moist towelettes and began wiping Tasha's face.

When she was finished, Tasha quickly removed the pins from her hair.

Work was done for the day so she got in her car and left.

As Natasha drove home, her mind was flooded with all kinds of thoughts.

Her aunt had called yesterday and promised to walk her through the process of the change when the time came, but she hasn't called yet today and it is getting late.

The sun was already over the horizon and shadows were casting.

When Tasha noticed this, she drove faster.

She knew that she had to be inside her apartment with the door locked before the moon was up in the sky.

She also knew that this had to be soon because her skin was itching really badly.

Natasha floored the gas pedal. Time was catching up on her and she was a long way from home.

Being preoccupied with trying to get home, Natasha didn't notice the black Range Rover that was following her.

"Why was she in such a hurry?" Tyler asked himself.

He thought that maybe she had spotted the car following her and was trying to get away.

"Faster Harold!" he told his driver. "Don't lose her!"

Harold gunned the engine.

Natasha's apartment complex was around the next bend.

She breathed a sigh of relief as she started cutting the engine.

As she was about to make the bend, her phone rang, startling her.

Natasha jumped with fright and immediately lost control of the car.

The car went straight through the curved wall and crashed into a nearby tree.

Natasha's head was flung forward and hit the steering wheel with a bang.

Blood oozed from her forehead and she closed her eyes as the darkness came.

Tyler and Harold were stunned!

Harold jammed the brakes and brought their car to a screeching halt on the side of the road.

Tyler rushed to Tasha's car.

The scent of Natasha's blood filled the air.

Tyler swallowed hard.

When he checked her, she was unconscious and blood was all over her face.

Tyler gently removed her from the car and layed her on the ground.

He put his head to her chest and realized that her breathing was very faint.

As he was about to try and remove her coat to examine her further, Tasha's eyes flew open and she let out a loud gasp!

Suddenly she started screaming and hair started rapidly growing out of every inch of her skin.

Tyler looked up and saw the full moon.

He suddenly realized why she was rushing home.
