The Horse Shifter's Journey

How much longer?

Ryker's P.O.V
"How much longer until he can shift?" Miah asked the doctors, she was sitting next to me and holding my hand.
It's been two weeks since the fight with her dad and i still haven't recovered. My back feels better, but it seems like he put a bigger dose of the energy drowning stuff than we thought. It made me achy all over and tired, I could barely walk. Miah was so worried about me, I told her not to worry, but she doesn't listen. She's still hurt and she can't shift because she has stitches. I am worried about her too, but she can move around easier.
I hate that man for everything he has done, I don't care if his wife died, he really shouldn't treat his child like that. Or, his children I guess. Cory explained how he was Miah's brother and how they had another sister, and how he left and Lizzie left. I was so mad at him for not taking Miah, but I got over it. I was determined to find Lizzie so their family could be together, but I have no clue where her mate and her are. He said that Lizzie left because her father didn't accept her mate. I figured he didn't accept me either and was trying to take her back. The thing is, if he does take her, and makes someone mate her... I could lose her forever! Whoever mates a girl first automatically becomes their mate, and he might have a horse shifter mate her. I need her to mate with me, but she isn't ready. It will make things easier, but in other ways it would make it harder. She would be pregnant, and more vulnerable. I would love to have a child, but she just isn't ready... it makes me mad. I can't force her, but she needs to learn the risks if we don't mate.

I know this is a short chapter, but I'm heading to camp and I can't have my phone there so I did one last update for you guys until around next week!
