#STAND ALONE# She quivered in fear when she saw him transforming. His eyes were ice blue and his teeth were canines. In the next moment she was grabbed and slammed to the nearest tree. He fell down on his knees in front of her, his claws clutching her thighs and keeping her captured. "What.. what are you doing?" She whimpered. Instead of replying his head went straight between her thighs. She felt his tongue licking her, stroking harshly. Suddenly his canines bit her clit and her rich blood flowed in his mouth. In that exact moment she experienced a pleasure so pure, so empowering that left her shuddering, making her want to get away from the overwhelming, overpowering pleasure but forcing her to stay in the exact same place. Satisfied, he rose up on his feet and looked into her soulful, admiring, love filled eyes. And that's when the love of her life, her eternal mate, grabbed her neck & snapped it to death.

The burn of betrayal and the sting of rejection hurt, but nothing compares to the pain of being empty. Nothing hurts worse than not hurting at all and it makes no sense and perfect sense at the same time and I'm convinced I'm going crazy and I'm actually okay with that.'
