~~Star’s P.O.V~~
When Nash bit me it went right through to the bone and I felt his blood rushing into my body, but it was hurting so much that I was crying. This hurt way more than when he marked and when he finally let me go he looked into my eyes, but I was in so much pain that I fainted. I kept hearing Sarah asking me if I was okay, but I couldn't answer her due to the pain and her voice grew so faint that I could barely hear her and then she was gone. I could feel everything around me, but I couldn't say or do anything. I suddenly felt a bed underneath me, something cold on my head and then the pain started to slowly go away. I finally opened my eyes and found that I was lying on my side, facing the clock which read three in the morning. I saw Nash pacing back and forth across the room and he looked so worried.
“Star, are you okay? You must wake up. You just have to wake up. Nash is really worried about you and so is his bear Rune. get up now. You're stronger than this girl. Get up.” Sarah said, talking non stop in my head. That's all it took to fully wake me up, I blinked a few times and tried to roll over so that I could sit up and Nash ran over to me.
“Star, are you okay? Did I bite too hard? I am so sorry, I’ve never done this before.” Nash said, panicking until I slowly raised my hand up to stop him talking.
“Calm down, I promise that I’m okay. I don't know what happened, maybe you did, I’m not too sure, but I’m awake and I’m okay. Sarah is the one that got me up, she wouldn't stop talking until I did.” I said, making him let out a sigh of relief.
“That's what they do, they will talk and force you to get up until their last breath. I can tell she is a strong bear and I can't wait to meet her, neither can Rune. He's currently pacing back and forth in my mind, screaming mate, he wants to walk and run with her.” Nash said and reached up, gently touching my wound. It felt like it had fully healed now, but it was still tender.
“How are you feeling right now? Do you feel stronger? Can you see and hear better?” Nash asked.
“I feel okay, but I don't really feel stronger or anything like that. I just feel like me.” I said, shrugging and he nodded.
“When you shift you will start to feel different, it will be like a whole new world for you, just you wait and you will see. Are you hungry? Do you want something to eat?” Nash asked and I shook my head.
“I know it sounds crazy, especially seeing as I’ve only just woken up, but all I feel is tired and I just want to sleep. That's all.” I replied and he got in bed next to me, holding me close.
“I’m just glad that you're okay. Tomorrow is going to be a big day for you and I’m afraid that it's going to be painful, so I want you to get some sleep. Tomorrow you will have a good breakfast, even if I have to cook it myself. I promise. I will be there every step of the way, until then let's go to sleep.” Nash said, turning the bedside light out and pulling the blankets over us. Nash and I were so exhausted from everything that happened that we both fell straight to sleep. I started dreaming and it was the same dream that I’ve had before, but this time I was the bear. I was walking side by side with another huge black bear and when I looked to my right and there were werebears and werewolves, standing around, but to my left there were werecats. We stopped in the middle of a clearing in the woods and suddenly a pack of rogue wolves came out of the woods and stood at the edge of the clearing. There were so many of them and then I saw it, the biggest wolf I had ever seen and standing right next to it was a smaller version.
“Oh my whorish daughter, I see what you have become and it disgusts me. I’ll kill you just like I did your mother, you stupid, fat ugly bitch.” My dad said, mind-linking me and my bear just smirked back at him.
“Not before I kill you, you lowlife scumbag.” I said and we started charging at each other. Just as we were about to clash with each other I woke up and Nash came into the room, carrying a tray. I sat up in bed, startled from my dream or should I say nightmare and Nash gave me a confused look.
“Are you okay?” Nash asked and I just nodded.
“Yeah, just a dream. I’m all good. What's on the tray?” I asked, smelling something amazing coming from it and Nash started grinning from ear to ear.
“Well, madam, for today's breakfast we have pancakes, orange slices, bacon, eggs and sausages.” Nash said, laying the tray down on the bed and acting like a waiter. I started laughing as he bowed really low and winked at me.
“I already had my breakfast while you were sleeping, so I made you everything that I thought you would like.” Nash said, pouring syrup over the pancakes.
“Eat up because I know you have got to be hungry, you didn't eat anything at all last night.” Nash said and I nodded.
“I am kinda hungry.” I replied and started to eat. I ate everything and completely cleared the plate, making Nash laugh.
“I guess I was actually starving and not just hungry.” I said and started to laugh with him as he cleared everything away and put the tray on the dresser.
“So, are you ready for today? Do you feel rested now?” Nash asked, sitting back on the bed next to me.
“Yeah, I do feel rested. I just kept having crazy dreams that's all, but other than that I’m good. I’m a little nervous about what's going to happen later and a little scared. When everyone was training and you all shifted, I heard the bones breaking and it was scary to hear that.” I replied, but Nash just squeezed my hand, reassuring me.
“Yeah it can be scary, babe and it does hurt for the first few times, but once you have shifted as much as we have it doesn't hurt as much. When I shift now it just feels like a small ache, but I promise you that I will be with you every step of the way and I know that Sarah will help you through this as well.” Nash said and I nodded, giving him a weak smile. I know he was only telling me the truth, but it was still scary to think of it.
“Okay, well, I need to go and shower. I can't lay in bed all day, even if I wanted to. Today is a big day and I need to get ready.” I said, getting out of bed, but Nash just smirked mischievously at me. I turned around and started to walk to the bathroom when Nash suddenly came up behind me and picked me up bridal style, making me giggle as he carried me into the bathroom. We stripped each other's clothes off and got into the shower, washing each other's bodies and just basking in each other's warmth and company. It just felt so nice, relaxing and comforting. We finished up with our shower and dried each other off.
“What do I need?” I asked as we walked back into the bedroom. Nash took one of his shirts and a pair of shorts out the dresser.
“Just wear these because when you shift your clothes will be torn to shreds and when you shift back you will be naked, so bring another set of clothes with you or just bring a dress.” Nash said, handing me the clothes. I nodded and put the clothes on that Nash gave me, then walked over to the walk in closet and pulled out a yellow sundress.
“I’ll put this on after I shift back.” I said and he nodded, taking the dress from me.
“I’m going to bring a sheet with us, so that I can cover your body when you shift back because no one gets to see your body, but me.” Nash said and he sounded so possessive that it made me roll my eyes and laugh.
“So, it's almost time, are you ready?” Nash asked and I let out a loud sigh.
“As ready as I can be.” I replied. Nash took my hand in his, lifting it up to his lips and kissed the back of it.
“You will be okay, I promise.” Nash whispered, as we left the bedroom and headed down the stairs and outside.
