The Accident

Arabella Pov

I woke up with an intense pain in my chest. What is this? I asked Royal.

Mate. Mate is cheating on us.

Ares the son of a bitch.

I saw two of my mates already in the room. I can tell they are my mates due to their smell. They both smell like fresh honey and baked bread. One of them is beside me, but I can't concentrate because of the pain. He pulls me into his arms, while another rubs my hand. My mate doesn't love me. He is cheating on me. It's all I can think about and Royal howls sadly in my head. Suddenly, I felt a pop in my knees.

I'm sorry, but I need to come out. If I don't, I can't help with the pain of needles we are feeling. Focus on the mates in front of us, they will help with the pain of shifting, Royal says. I do as she asks and focus on smelling my mates, who are trying to help me through the shift. After what seems forever, I end up being pushed to the back as Royal takes over. The cheating pain of Ares has dulled down thanks to my focus on the shift. Roy
