I'd never intended to live a day to witness one of my mates experience the recognition, but here we were. Seiko in excruciating pain, unable to control his shift as his wolf forces control, whines, runs off towards the forest and then retreats back, allowing Seiko's form to take control as he shifts back.

Over and over and over again. . .

My beautiful mate was practically torn to shreds by the time we got back to our territory, the skin on his ankles and wrists badly torn, his face distorted with the agony he felt and our bond all over the place.

"Seiko, calm," Error whimpers, trying his best to maintain a good hold on Seiko's rope that we'd attached to his collar.

Our mate had to be tied to one of the many posts here meant for our more feral members during times where they couldn't tap into their souls and their wolves wanted nothing more than to kill.

Except in Seiko's case, he didn't want to kill. He didn't want to hurt anyone, he just didn't understand what was happening. . . He just knew that he was in pain and that being around Lux helped to stop that pain.

Wincing when Seiko throws himself up against the tree, clutching his head and dropping to his knees, I pull Error out of the way before our mate could snap on him.

"Come on love," I tell Error, heart hurting for Seiko as he claws at the ground in that way he would do when he was trying to focus his mind. "We can't do much for him right now."

"But," Error starts, shaking his head as his eyes fall upon Seiko once more. "Seiko in pain. Error can help."

I shake my head, hating to admit that he couldn't. "No, sweetheart, you can't."

My eyes find Seiko when he yelps a little too loudly after throwing himself into the tree again, his claws slicing through his flesh as he drags them down his face.

That makes me hiss and Error too. Seiko hadn't learned how to how to block us out yet, so the pain he endured, we endured as well.

. . . All except the recognition. That type of destructive pain was only meant to be shared between fated mates.

I wished we were fated to Seiko, that way we could share the load but Goddess isn't always fair. Sometimes she gives us what we need instead of what we want and right now, apparently Error and I didn't need Seiko's pain.

Growling, Error tries to get out of my grip, but I don't let him. "No, if you go over there right now, Seiko will hurt you."

Error growls at me this time, his head whipping back to face me. "Error, Seiko's mate too. Error make Seiko feel better."

"Not right now." — Mystic whispers, tucking his ears flat against his head as he slinks back into the shadows.

My wolf was right, but I couldn't bring myself to crush Error's spirit like that. This big bundle of sweetness always thought he could fix everything. He had a heart of pure gold and despite knowing this could only be fixed by Lux, Error was still determined to try and do what he could.

When he sees me give in just a little, Error perks up, smiling at my willingness to let him at least try.

If smiles could heal, Error's would make the world a better place.

He grunts, placing a brief kiss to my lips before rushing over to Seiko and grabbing him again. I watch as Error struggles to keep Seiko under control, to avoid every snap of his jaws or every slice of his claws.
