Chapter Eight

“Rivera!” Roan shook her again, her head lolling on his shoulder. “No. No!”

“Roan, stop!”

His brother’s voice finally broke through Roan’s panic as he desperately tried to wake his True Mate.

“Flynn?”

“Easy, brother,” Flynn soothed as Sasha rushed back in with Flynn’s black bag. Roan had been so worried for Rivera; he hadn’t even noticed Sasha had left. “Let me check her over, alright?”

Roan nodded, trusting his brother would do all he could to help Rivera. He gently sat in the chair, Rivera cradled tenderly yet securely, in his arms.

Taking out his stethoscope and arm cuff, Flynn took her blood pressure and pulse. He listened to her heart and lungs. Even checked her pupils. When he was finished, he let out a breath, an astonished expression on his face.

“What is it? What’s wrong?” His arms tightened instinctively around her.

“I can’t be a hundred percent sure until I run the blood tests. But from the little I’ve checked so far, it looks as if she’d in the Pre-Transformation coma.”

All Roan could do was stare at his brother.

“Are you sure, honey?”

Flynn gave his True Mate a sheepish grin. “Until I run the blood tests, no. But, her blood pressure and heart rate are almost identical to yours when you went into the coma.”

“How is this possible, Flynn?” Roan finally found his voice, strained though it was. “She’s showed no signs until now. No cramps or fever. I don’t even think she’s had the Pre-Transition dreams. I mean, it’s only been two days since we met. Surely she or Ian and Lillah, would have said something.”

“Who knows?” Flynn shrugged. “It could be due to her age, your bond, the Pack bond, even the trauma of her parent’s betrayal. Any or all of these events could have triggered this. Or, it could be none of them. Just simply her time.”

Roan gazed down upon her precious face, peaceful in repose. “Her First Transformation.”

“Again, I’ll need to run the blood tests. But seeing as she is half Lupus, well, I wouldn’t think it would be as bad as Sasha’s was.”

“It’s still going to suck, Roan,” Sasha warned him. “Even if her body and wolf have been building up to this moment, the pain’s going to be bad.”

He nodded, letting out a whoosh of breath. “So, worse than a normal teen’s first shift but no where near as bad as yours was.”

“I want to run the tests and confirm first, Roan,” Flynn told him. “You know I won’t make any promises until then.”

“Yes, sorry. It’s just…I can’t lose her, brother.” For the first time in Roan’s life, he felt completely helpless. None of his abilities were useful in this situation. He was effectively, useless. “I can’t.”

“Hey, now,” Sasha snapped. “She’s in good hands here, nothings going to happen to her.” She reached out and took his hands, putting one over Rivera’s head and the other over her heart. She then put her hands over Roan’s. “Feel how strong she is? How strong her wolf is?”

Combining her abilities with Roan’s, he was able to feel what he could barely sense when he first met Rivera.
