My thoughts race as I sit on the bathroom sink, examining the bright red mark on my neck. This has never happened to one of my kind before. Then again, there's only been three of us.

How will everyone react to a siren having a werewolf bite? What will happen to me?

I bite my lip and trace my hands softly over the wound, wondering what exactly would happen if a siren became a werewolf. I would be a hybrid.

After showering for awhile, I step out of the bathroom, still wrapped in my fluffy white towel. As I do so, my eyes widen at the sight of Hope sitting on the edge of my bed.

"Hope!" I yelp, surprised. My hand immediately snaps upwards over the werewolf bite on my neck. "Wh-what are you doing here?" I ask, pretending like I'm scratching my neck, which rather hurts.

"Well, Josie and Lizzie are back. I thought you'd like to know, since you know, Josie..." She trails off, looking sideways.

I frown. "Oh. Okay, thanks. Um, I gotta-"

"Why are you holding your neck like that?" She asks after noticing. She stands up, one hand holding onto a bed post.

"It's just sore." I reply, technically not lying. "You know, from fighting last night with the dream demon."

"Hm. Can I see?" She asks, looking a bit curious. She takes a step towards me.

"Well-"

"Is that blood?" She asks me, pointing at my hand that was now a little bloody from opening up the bite.

"Uh..." I drag. "Don't worry about it, Hope. It's just a cut."

"Okay, well now I'm worried. What is going on? Why are you bleeding?" She asks, reaching out to my wrist.

My heart rate picks up as she gently removes my hand from my neck to see the werewolf bite. "Hope-"

"Who did this?" She asks, now looking concerned. I bite my lip and look at my feet. "Dammit, Liliana, this is a werewolf bite! Oh my god, you could be killed!"

"You don't know that." I whisper. She glares at me and drags me back into the bathroom.

"Sit." She says, pointing towards the shower ledge. I nod and sit down, still waiting to change into clothes. She sits down next to me and takes a dagger she found in my room, slicing her hand open. She put her wrist up to me mouth, but my body just rejected her blood, making me throw up.

"Hope..." I mumble weakly. "It's not working."

"Shut up. Hold still." She snaps, tracing her thumb over the bite. I wince in return as she wipes away the blood and tries to do as much as she can to make it seal. "This is going to sting."

"What?" I ask.

I'm cut off by Hope mumbling a spell under her breath, holding her hands over the bite. My body flinches once the bite begins to mend itself together, making it appear as a scar.

"There." Hope says, standing up and putting the dagger I had on the sink. "Now, tell me who gave you that bite."

I sigh. "Fine. But I'm getting changed first." Hope nods and allows me to do so, waiting for me on my bed. I walk out of my closet and lean against the door frame. "Raf and I had sex last night."

"What?" Hope asks, raising her eyebrows.

"He kept dreaming about me when he was under attack by the dream demon. We kissed after talking about it... and then one thing led to another." I reply, looking ashamed.

"What does that have to do with the bite?" She asks. I sigh and she furrows her brows. "Unless..."

"He bit me." I interrupt. "The weird part Hope, is that I don't even remember him biting me." I cross my arms over my chest and walk towards her. "I would remember that-"
