Reyna's pov
This light, I want to go into it! I suddenly feel something in my neck. What is this? Why am I feeling this? What's happening? Suddenly the bright light disappears. "No!" I scream. I suddenly fell down. My body is getting heavier!!! "Reyna?!" I hear someone say. Something inside me began to awaken. What's going on? I am suppose to be dead!? I was shot! I died! So why do I hear this voice, this familiar voice pleading me to come to them. I want to stay in this dream of peace. "Reyna!?" The voice echoed through me. Wait I know this voice! Who is it!? Who... Wait! It's Aaron! Instantly my mind is flooded with memories of him, mom, dad, everyone I loved and knew. Logan, Lily, Ryder, and even his mate Summer. I open my eyes and look around. My eyes land on a blurry figure. I blink a few times until they focus. Aaron! I wanted to cry. I wanted to scream his name. I wanted to hug him and say so many things but I couldn't. I couldn't move my mouth to mutter out any word. I could only lay there, propped up in his arms. His eyes showed he's been crying. His eyes welded up in more tears. "Reyna?!" He asked. I try to say something but instead I start coughing. After I'm done coughing I look at him, what is happening! I'm scared. Why am I alive!? I reach down to where I was shot. Was I still shot? My shirt was still full of blood. My stomach lurches. Do I have the bullet still in me? I lifted up my shirt hesitantly. My bullet wound was gone! Nothing but a scar now!! I hear Aaron sigh in relief. "Reyna!" Aaron says as he hugs me. I sit there in his arms. Am I really alright? What's happened?! How can I be alive?! He pulls away. "Reyna? Are you alright?" He asks. No! I've been shot, killed and come back to life!! I'm not okay! I silently yell at him. I start crying. Why am I crying? At least I'm showing emotion!!! "Aaron!" I whisper in a weak voice. Hey I can talk... well at least whisper. My arms wrap around him and I start sobbing. He sighs and closes his eyes as he hugs me back! I'm back!! I'm alive! Aaron's okay! Is the red wolf dead? Did Aaron win? How's the pack? Why do I feel so jittery? Why do I- ask your mate! Someone in my brain says. My eyes widen and my heart skips a beat. What the- "I love you so much!!!" Aaron says, interrupting my thoughts. "Aaron... how come I feel different!?" I ask. My voice still very weak and quiet.

Aaron's pov
"Aaron... how come I feel different!?" I freeze, crap! Reyna might kill me once she finds out I had to change her!!! Shitshitshitshit!!!! What am I going to do?!! If she finds out I'm going to have even more broken ribs and maybe a broke nose!!! Guess I have to tell her sooner or later!! I mean she always did want me to turn her... There's no avoiding this! Dammit Logan! What do I do?!

Reyna's pov
I sit there waiting for Aaron's answer. "Well!!?" I shout. I then groan in pain. Ok so maybe I shouldn't be yelling like this. I sigh. "Sorry... Take me home please." I say. Aaron nods and gently picks me up. He starts walking and I see a flash of pain in his eyes. "What's wrong?!" I ask. Before he can answer I'm suddenly seized with a coughing fit. My face turns red as I continue to cough. "Reyna!!?" Aaron asks, sick with worry. I wave my hand to tell him it's fine. Finally I get done coughing. I groan, my stomach hurt really bad!!! I let my head fall back into Aaron's chest as he carries me. My arms folded around my stomach loosely. My body aches! I can't move... "Reyna? What's wrong!? Are you okay?!" Aaron asks. I shake my head but my breathing had become shallow after my coughing. "I'm.... O-okay.... just ne-need some... sleep." He nods but I can still see the concern in his eyes. I must of fallen asleep while he carried me home but when I woke up I was in my room at my dads house. "Reyna!? Oh honey your awake!!! I'll go get your dad!!" My mom gushed with excitement as she hurried out the door to get dad. How long had I been asleep? It couldn't have been more than a couple of hours... right? Wait! Where's Aaron!!! My dad and mom come running in. My dad smiles and sighs in relief. "Oh thank god! You're okay!" He said as he hugged me. I winced a bit in pain but didn't say anything. Like before I couldn't really talk, I was too overwhelmed by all that was happening and I was still trying to get my brain around the fact that I had died and come back! I wonder how?!What all happened since I've died and came back?! "Do you need anything?" My mom asks. "Anything at all!" I hear my mom and dad ask. I look at them. I need to see Aaron. I need to understand what's happened. Is he alright!? He looked hurt when he was carrying me here! "Aaron." I say meekly. They nod, their faces straight and their eyes sentimental looking. My dad walks down stairs and my mom brings me a cup of water. She helps me take a sip before Aaron walks in. I could tell he had been terrified by the darkness around his eyes and the stress lines on his forehead. He looked like the day I'd seen him after we broke up. Tears brim my eyes and I look at mom. She nods and leaves. Once she closed the door to my room I burst into tears. Aaron shakes his head and walks over to me. "Shhhh... It's alright, it's okay." He coes as he gently holds me in a warm embrace. I wrap my arms around him as tightly as I could manage with my weak body. "What happened!?" I sob, my voice coming out louder than I'd anticipated. Aaron rubs my back. "We'll talk about it when you've regained strength. For now just rest." He said. My hands grab his shirt. "Please tell me a little... to put me at ease!" I beg as I look at him. He sighs. "Ok fine, but only because you look to fragile and cute to deny it!" He teases. I smile. Despite the situation Aaron's trying to keep a happy demeanor. "Well... for starters, I finished off the red wolf. He's gone, out of the equation. I have a few bruised ribs but nothing to serious, maybe some cuts and other bruises but that's to be expected in a fight." He looks at me and smiles, except it was sort of melancholy, sad, depressed. "But... what happened with me?!" I ask. I may have sounded selfish but I needed answers. He chuckled. "You've been sleeping for 5 days now. Which is good, your building up energy." He smiled again but it wasn't a sad smile this time. "You thirsty?" He asked holding up my water glass. Aaron I need answers!! Those aren't the answers I'm looking for!! Why am I alive!!? That's what I want to know!! Why do I feel different! What's happened to me?! I need those to be answered!! Calm down. Your mate will tell you when he thinks you are ready. A small voice inside me answered. That's right! I've been hearing this strange women's voice in my head ever since I came back. In my dreams, when I was awake, everywhere! Who is she!? Why is she talking to me like this!! Am I going crazy!!? "Reyna?" I hear Aaron ask. I look at him and wipe my eyes of the salty tears. "Sorry... No I'm not thirsty." I say. Aaron sighs. "Hungry?" He asks. I shake my head. "No not really..." I say. He frowns. "Well you have to eat something soon." He says standing up. "I'll be downstairs if you need me. Get some rest." He says opening the door. "I love you." He whispers before closing the door behind him. I sigh. Thanks a lot Aaron! Now I can't sleep with all these questions I have!!! Grrr!!!!
