I punched the punching bag, hard my anger getting the best of me. A growl escaped my lips as I kicked the bag, and the chains snapped and broke. Sweat gleamed on my forehead, and I couldn't help but growl in annoyance as I wiped it off. I was tired, but I knew that my anger wouldn't let me sleep.

The door slamming open brought me out of my thoughts and caused me to growl out a warning. I was warning whomever it was that I was not in the mood to be bothered. I didn't care who it was, but I knew that I would be fine if it were my mate.

I turned in that direction to see my mate at the door. The growling stopped when I saw how close Damion was to change into his wolf form, and I tensed. "What happened?" I asked, studying him. I was a bit more relaxed when I saw that he wasn't injured and looked to be in one piece.

Damion didn't say a word but growled. He walked over to me and pulled me into this arms. "Mine," he growled out, pecking at my mark. "All mine."

I took a deep breath and released it. I knew that I had to calm him down, but it didn't stop me from panicking. "What happened?" I asked, pulling him closer to me. I bit back a moan as I felt his buddy poking my inner thigh, knowing that I really wasn't really over the past. "Damion?" I asked when he didn't answer off the bat.

"Shhh, let me hold you," he muttered, his voice husky. He nipped at my mark, and my breath hitched. "Let me love you," he begged, again nipping at my mark.

Images of sneering faces appeared in my mind. The nipping at my skin brought back those... animals that liked to "play" with me. My fear spiked, and I couldn't help the way that I was feeling. "No!" I got out, wrenching myself from his grasp. I quickly took hold of his throat and squeezed, not really in my right mind. Fear took hold of my mind and paralyzed me, making my Wolf take control.

"Beth," the man gasped. "It's me, your mate." He clawed at my hands, and I felt these sparks. "Let go, please. You are safe."

Laurie let go of my body, and I took control to see that it was Damion. I was able to see that I was choking my mate in my fear and had dug my claws into his skin.

I stepped back and let go of my, my heart pounding in my chest. I shook my head, trying to stop some memories that wanted to take control of me and make me completely panic. "I-I-" I couldn't breathe, and I started to panic. My whole body started to shut down, and everything turned black.

There was this annoying beeping sound that was keeping me from sleeping. It was followed by this pumping sound that helped my chest rise and fall. The smell of bleach filled my nostrils, but I wasn't panicking as I had been.

"Will she wake up soon?" someone asked. Sparks went up and down my arm, and I could tell that it was my mate. Fear filled his voice, and I wanted to comfort him, but I couldn't right now.

"Yes, Alpha," the pack doctor said. "Her body went into overdrive. Did she experience any change of emotions faster than normal?"

"Yes," he confirmed. "Her ah... father is here with her stepmother and half siblings. And then, I think she became scared of me for..." He cleared his throat, and I could tell that he had a blush on his face.

"Let's make sure that she doesn't go through all those emotions again. I want to run some tests, Alpha. I think that there might be something hiding in her genetics."

"She is half human and half Wolf. What all can she be hiding?"

"I don't know, and I would like to find out..." the doctor said before everything faded into nothing as I fell asleep once more.
