Chapter 22

Ashlynn POV

It was a good thing I promised Danny I wouldn't go to school, because around six in the morning I woke up feeling the same as I did the night before and ended up running to the bathroom. Danny again held my hair away and rubbed my back. This time when I was done, I was to exhausted to move, so Danny scooped me up in his arm's and carried me back to bed. I snuggled closer to him and didn't wake up again till around eight and again the same thing happened. After that though, I didn't throw up for the rest of the day. Danny still wouldn't let me leave the room or do anything though. He kept saying if I strained myself I could make the illness worst. So basically, I was on bed rest, but I had no idea why; I was perfectly fine.

Around noon, I was sick of hanging around and doing nothing, and Danny left to have a meeting. So I pulled myself out of bed,and shut off the awful television show that was playing. It's like they can't have actual intelligent things playing through out the day. Anyways, I strolled into the bathroom determined to take a shower and wash my face. The reflection of me was funny. My curly brown hair was matted and wryly across my face. My face was glowing and although my eyes were a little tired I could see happiness radiating off of me. To think I only met Danny about two weeks earlier, but my world completely changed. I was a different person, one that was happier, confident, a little braver, stubborn, stronger. I even became more hopeful and less shy. I was a completely different girl that was in love. To people that saw us, I knew they wouldn't understand, because even most werewolf mate's don't cling, relay on or change each other as fast as Danny and I did. I also knew that was how it was suppose to be with us, we both had wolves that were destined to love each other and change the world.

Quickly I stripped out of my clothes and turned on the shower. It was nice feeling the hot water roll down my body and wash away my fears with the dirt and grim. After a good thirty minute shower and the water started to cool off, I slipped out of the shower and wrapped a navy blue towel around me. I was stepping out of the shower, when something washed over me again. My hands got clammy and my head started feeling light head. I was already struggling to stay standing when the ends of my vision started to fade and become black. I grabbed onto the sink determined to hold myself up and let it past. My legs started to feel like jell'O and I couldn't hold myself up any more. "Ashlynn, what are you doing out of bed?" Holly yelled as ran into help me. Danny must have sent her up to check on me. She ran to my side and grabbed me before my legs completely gave out on me. "Holly, I'm fine." I tried to convince her, but as I spoke my vision began to fade away again. "I'm sure you are." She said sarcastically as she helped me get back to bed and lay down.

"Thanks." She nodded and began tucking me in and fussing over me. She was feeling my head for a fever looking down at me. "Ashlynn, when was the last time you had your period?" I racked My brain trying to figure out why it mattered. "I don't know. Does is matter?" She smiled down at me and removed her hand from my head. "No, it was just a question. You should go back to sleep." She said kissing my head. Once she left I let my eyes close, while still thinking about her question but soon sleep took over.

Danny's POV

"Danny, are you sure everything is okay with her? She just seems so different, and I swear yesterday when she was mad it felt like there were two of her." Andrew said sitting in front of me drinking coffee. "Yes, she's okay." I answered bitterly and continued to look over the paperwork on my desk. I had to miss school because of work and meetings. Plus, I really didn't want to let Ashlynn stay home alone or with just Andrew. For the most part the teachers were all very understanding and as long as I got their work done and handed in they couldn't have cared less if I actually showed up to school or not. "Are you positive?" I snapped my head off the paper work as a growl roared through me. The coffee in my hand went smashing onto my desk. "Andrew, I know how to care for my mate." I growled. Honestly, I was scared and didn't know what was going on, but I hated the thought of any guy, that wasn't me or her father, worrying about her. Ashlynn was acting differently, I noticed that yesterday and twice this morning and last night she turned pale as a ghost before running to the bathroom.
