all running towards me. As they approached, I lifted up my left hand for someone to help me get off this damn thing. One of the guys reached out and pulled me to my feet. I stepped off the lion and stood in front of the guys. They all looked concerned and relieved at the same time.
    “Jessi,” Travis said reach ing out to me.
    I pushed his hand away and said, “ See that wasn’t so hard no was it”, that was the last thing I remember because after that I felt myself fall forward, and everything went black.
    Two weeks later , I woke up in the hospital ward underneath the ranch house. I didn’t even know there was a shifter hospital under there. I woke up to a worried Sam and a crying Mathew. After Alasdair and Sam finished chewing on my ass for being reckless, they told me my wounds healed a few hours after I was brought back to the house. I apparently over exhausted my body and shifter spirit. I was told I was nearly to the brink of death since I never changed into those forms before except during my first change. They said I had to build up to using that much energy all at once in each form or I’d pass out and go into a temporary coma like I did after fighting that damn mountain lion.
    Alasdair ordered me to shift everyday into the same form for a week straight to build up my energy levels with that animal form’s spirit. Therefore, every day after work for a week at a time I would shift into different forms and run. At first, it was exhilarating. But, after a while it got to be a pain in the ass.
    After that day I earned respect from every s hifter here and managed to find new friends and family among the were community.

ROOMMATE
     
     
    Two long years passed by after my first fight as a shifter and vampire. Still to this day none of us know what in the hell that mountain lion really was. It never turned back to human after it died and it was way too damn big to be a normal mountain lion. The guys all felt awful for taking me to that ridge. They said if they knew I was going to be crazy enough to fight it they would have left my ass back at the ranch. Well, now they know better. Besides, I wasn’t going to stand by and watch it tear my men apart piece by piece.
    The guys never changed. They still flirt and make fun of me because I’m a girl. Well, until I start breaking bones, then they shut up real quick. We all became a close tight -knit group. We play, we horse around, we rag on each other and we work hard as a team. I didn’t know it at the time, probably because I was too focused on a Godzilla sized mountain lion, but Tucker was one of the men in the water that day. The other guy in the water was Bobby.
    Considering how Tucker and I got off on the wrong foot, he was just glad I didn’t break his bones like I did the others. He was also grateful I ended up saving his and Bobby’s asses. Bobby even more so because he’s Tucker’s little brother. Everyone said Tucker wouldn’t leave my hospital bedside the whole time I was out of it. Alasdair said he even cried, but Tucker will never admit to that. Still to this day, he said he had dirt in his eyes. Everyone just says bullshit and coughs at the same time. We all laugh of course, because the shits just funny. Big bad mister beta sir crying over little ole’ me. You bet your ass I laughed. We even go to the local bars together, which is never a dull moment. Of course, I’m the best wingman ever. Oh wait that should be wingwoman, but you get the point. I help get them girls and they beat the shit out of anyone that even looks my way.
    It too k a long time to get past everyone’s betrayal. If I didn’t have Sam and the guys I don’t know what I would have done with myself. Every time I get down about it they always seem to be there to pick me back up. It probably had to do with Alasdair’s mind reading and Sam’s empathy. No matter, I’m just glad they were all there. I’ve become a different person over the last two years. I’m stronger, faster,
