Though the connection had been severed, she could still feel Andrew pulling her near. Drawing her to him. She was fighting the best that she could but with the full moon quickly approaching, she wasn't sure how long or if she could fight it. She'd been practicing with BVB (Black Veil Brides) but without her original alpha, she was going to be weak and lacking.
Nick noticed she was different after they'd made love. He feared it may have been too early though they had both definitely enjoyed it. They'd been trying to help her cope with everything by staying at the apartment rather than the loft.
With the full moon coming up, she was afraid of what was going to happen to her. She gets out of hers and his shared bed, wrapping herself in a rope. She takes herself downstairs and looks out the giant window, the beautiful city lights in view.
All of her past emotions begin to pour out as she silently starts crying. She begins trembling as she drops to the floor. Everything began to hurt, everything began to feel extremely heightened.
She feels a hand land on her shoulder, causing her to snap around. She sees her loving boyfriend behind her. He drops down to his knees and engulfs her tightly.
"I know it's hard, baby. Everything, every emotion, every feeling, is heightened by 1000. Everything has become amplified" he says, rubbing her hair.
"I just want to be normal, Nick. I want to have a normal life. I want to be a normal girlfriend. I don't want this life" she sobs.
He takes a deep breath.
"I'm so sorry, my love" he tells her.

They lay in bed together as he watches her sleep. He runs his fingers through her hair as he watches her chest rise and fall. He traces the tips of his fingers down her face onto her neck. He moves a strand of hair from her neck as he swallows.
He can hear her heartbeat in her throat. He still craved her blood though she's supernatural. His breaths stagger as he stares at her neck, beginning to get really hungry. He traces circles around the side of her neck and collarbone.
"Baby" she says.
He lets out a small gasp as she opens her eyes and looks up at him.
"I'm sorry" he says, starting to pull away.
She stops him and sits up. She takes his hand and lays it on her jugular.
"Babe I can't-"
"Focus on not giving in" she tells him.
His eyes begin to burn red as the veins under his eyes strain. He licks his lips exposing his fangs. She began to realize that he may not be able to hold himself back. His hand begins to wrap around her throat and squeeze.
"Nick" she says.
"Just a taste" he says, almost completely out of it.
She tries to stay calm seeing him like this. He yanks her closer to him, nose to nose. His red eyes darken slightly as he stares at her lips.
"You're so beautiful" he whispers to her.
He licks her lips then kisses down to her neck. Her breaths begin to hitch as she tries to figure out how to snap him out of it. But her mind blanks. She squeezes her eyes shut as he swipes her tongue along her neck.
"You taste so fucking sweet" he snaps.
She grabs onto his thigh tightly.
"Nicky, please" she begs.
He lets out a terrifying chuckle as he continues to kiss her neck.
"I want to hurt you. I want to bleed you" he says, squeezing her neck a little tighter.
