(Not sure why Shannon attacked the dragon. I also was trying to get away from the ring part but okay.)
As Shannon's claws dug into the dragon's scales she felt nothing. The creature vanished in a mist, reappearing next to her. Sighing the dragon shook her head. "I am sorry little one. You did not pass the test."
Shannon blinked as next to her, Noah's form shimmered as he returned to human form. He stared at her in shock as the dragon explained. "I wished to see if you were willing to give of yourself, even if it hurt. If you were willing to allow others to make their choices. No choice was given to you to be a lycan, you simply were made one by another. As such....I will simply allow you to return to a time before all of this."
Before Shannon could speak or plead her case....everything went white.
Shannon blinked awake. The strange dream still lingering in her mind. She looked down at herself. She was awake, she was adult...and laying next to her was Joey. The boy grinned as he turned over. "Hey babe...so....did you at least enjoy some of what I just did."
Shannon stared at him in shock as the full effect he had over her now registered.
