Stay away from me................................Stay away from me............................ Her words rock through me, the sound of the door crashing shut makes me flinch and the phase overtakes me almost immediately.

I flee with my tail between my legs and pain in my heart.

I wake up to the sound of birds chirping happily and pine needles digging into my soft human skin. The pain of Lyssandra's rejection is numbing my head, my emotions feel distant, cold.

I roll to my feet taking in my surroundings, soft morning light filters through the towering trees of every type, dappling the leaf littered ground. A pang of homesickness pierces through the emotionless void. Even the air here, so deep in the forest, is tainted with human pollution. I miss the feeling of pack, of belonging, I realise with a start.

Suddenly my insides twist in fear, I drop to my hands and knees, panting. Gods what was that? WILL!!!! Oh my God, Will! Panic lances through my whole body, Lyssandra!!! I scream into my mind as her fear and hopelessness wash through the mate-bond I hadn't known could exist on this side of the rift, I'm coming.
