Page 45 of My Blood Is Yours

My hips give a mindless thrust before I can stop them. I crane my neck to take in her expression to find her face unnaturally pale and sweat beading her pinched brow. With eyes squeezed shut as if in pain, she lets out a heady groan grinding herself on my cock as if trying to take my knot all at once. It provides a pressure that is just on the other side of pleasurable.

My heart drops as my arm wraps tighter around her waist to hold her closer and relieve some of the weight.

Oh, gods… It’s happening. She’s shifting before she even had a chance to properly fucking think about it.

I caress some of her hair back as she squirms in my hold, hips working over my cock in a way that would have me cumming already if it weren’t for my grave concern.

In the months before I’d left for Terrenea, I’d thoroughly researched the stages of a mortalsoulbound’sshift and how to best care for them through it. I’d basically memorized it.

Initial Stage

Fever

Cold sweats

Achey muscles and bones due to sudden growth

Extreme arousal

Primal urges such as biting, marking, claiming

Small shifts in appearance such as the changing of eye color and/or developing claws

Uncontrollable need to fulfill the bond

Uncontrollable need to breed/be bred

To ease symptoms:

1. Providing sexual stimulation throughout the shift will ease the transition and solidify the bond, which will help soothe the primal urges.

2. Imbibing the immortal soulbound’s seminal or arousal fluid will aid in pain relief and lowering fever temperatures.

Mediary Stage

Fever

Migraine

(in the case of the soulbound developing horns)

Increased primal urges

Thirst for blood

Uncontrollable need to fulfill the bond

Uncontrollable need to breed/be bred

If female, menstrual-like cramps

To ease symptoms:

1. Continue to provide sexual stimulation.

2. Continue to imbibe seminal or arousal fluid.

3. Apply seminal fluid directly to the cervix to relieve menstrual-like symptoms.
