Bronwyn woke the next morning to see Bran sitting there waiting for her to awaken.
"Bran, what brings you here?" she asked sitting up in bed to the best of her ability. Bran used the control on the adjustable bed to raise her head so she was supported as she sat up.
"I just wanted to make sure you knew what you were getting into before we tried to change you." He replied as he sat the remote near her hand so she could further adjust the bed until she was comfortable.
She looked at him and sighed "I guess I understand it as well as anyone in my position can."
Bran gave her the test out loud and she passed it. As much as he didn't like this it was time to turn her. He left to make final preparations and Samuel came in to get her ready.
"You realize this is going to be the most painful experience of your life." He warned her.
"I know, but I'm in pain all the time, Samuel." She replied "This is my last hope of a life free of pain."
"I know, Bronwyn, I know this better than anyone else you'll meet." He replied.

John watched as Bronwyn was brought into the room where she would face ravishment to attempt the change. Michelle couldn't stand it and in his heart he understood why she felt that way. This was their daughter that was about to risk her life to finally know normal; finally be able to live her life without endless trips to the hospital for lung infections and respiratory problems. She wouldn't need the medicine and oxygen any longer, live or die she would finally be free. If she lived she would be healthy and happy. If she died she would be in a place without pain, beyond the disease that cursed her time on this world.
A grey and white wolf entered that he learned was Bran Cornick and within moments the attack began. It was brutal and John could barely watch the pain and horror his daughter was being exposed to, but it didn't matter anymore she would be free.
After the attack Samuel swooped in while his father left to transform back to human. John turned to Charles trying to see if the Marrok's younger son could shed any light on the situation or give him any hope that he hadn't just seen his daughter be killed.
Samuel approached them as she was returned to the clinic quickly along with a woman that John didn't recognize but would later learn was Samuel's wife, Nicolette.
"By the looks of it she will become one of us if she survives. The next few hours will be critical to learning if she will survive or not." He informed them then followed those that took Bronwyn out to the clinic to monitor her healing and support her as she healed.
The hours dragged on as Samuel helped her stay alive for the healing process. Anna arrived a few hours later hoping her omega powers would help Bronwyn keep control and calm.
Bronwyn woke up feeling as if she had been ripped to shreds. Samuel hadn't been kidding when he said it would be the most painful thing she had ever felt.
"Easy, Bronwyn," an unfamiliar female said. "My name is Anna, I'm Samuel's sister-in-law."
"Hi..." Bronwyn said weakly.
(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((A&O))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
John and Michelle watched as Bronwyn woke up, spoke with Anna then passed out again. They had been assured that she might do this a time or two before she wakes up for good and even then she would need time to regain her strength.
Every time she woke Samuel did his best to get her to eat at least a little food before she fell asleep again and by evening she was fully healed and begging to learn control. This was a good sign and the protective reaction to when SeoHyun returned into the picture the next morning was a mixed sign. It was good that she was capable of moving around, but bad that she was losing out to her instincts a little too much.
Charles had easily put a stop to that and soon explained to her why she reacted the way she did to SeoHyun and why it was best she try to control that reaction. SeoHyun's submissive nature aroused Bronwyn's protective instinct and while protective was good she needed to be careful she didn't lose control because of it.
(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((A&O))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
Bronwyn joined the Marrok pack pretty quickly after she was changed and she quickly began to gain control. It was decided that until they knew it was safe for her to live with her parents that she would live with Samuel and Nicolette as they were family. She enjoyed spending time with them and learning about her heritage from Samuel and Bran. She could spend hours with Bran listening to the old bard tell stories of a time before there was even electricity and he was more than happy to appease her. Normally old wolves didn't like to speak of the past, often wouldn't even admit to their age depending on how old the wolf was. Bran was no exception, but he would often humor young wolves by telling them tales of times before they could even imagine.
She had also started forming a friendship with SeoHyun and Kara. She liked the two younger girls and did her best to protect them from harm. She was more dominant than Kara so Kara willingly submitted control and responsibility to Bronwyn who quickly learned that she shouldn't take the fact that they trusted her lightly. They needed her to uphold her instincts to protect them and nurture them to the best of her ability, especially SeoHyun who was extremely submissive and had horrible self-esteem. She needed to be looked after, needed reassured that those in power would not harm her as had happened in the past. She was abused and broken of the habit of trusting dominant wolves long before the habit could have been ingrained in her mind. She was learning quickly that the dominant wolves of Aspen Creek would care for her, she was the heart of her family, heart of her pack and there wasn't a wolf around that would ever do anything but support and love on her.
