Certainly that pain had been unbearable. It didn't feel like anything that he had ever experienced before, and as a pitiful weak human he blacked out instantly. Indeed, though, his last thoughts had suggested that he figured he was going to feel this again in the morning.<br/><br/>However, things were indeed far different from he had expected this entire time. Pain wasn't going to feel the same way that pain had always felt. Rather, he was being reborn into a strong body after he had died. Fortunately he was going to be eternally with his mate. There wasn't a way he could have stood to not be with her.<br/><br/>For the time being, he almost felt as though he could have controlled his dreams. It had certainly felt like he could have done so, but he just enjoyed feeling as though he were going along with an actual wedding at the moment. Wonderful wasn't even the word to describe what he had imagined. It didn't take long for the dream to get very heated.<br/><br/>When he viewed himself in that mental mirror, he thought his life was good, and he felt it was one of service. He had fought alongside his best friend Darrak, and had always made sure to serve the Princess that he had to watch over. Now, though, their relationship was going to look awfully different.<br/><br/>Upon his awakening that next morning, Hamish was not the same person. Well, no, that wasn't right, but rather his beast side had merged into his regular side, and that meant that the boundaries between Xavier and Hamish weren't relevant any longer. He could life as freely and in much of a cavalier way as he wanted to. Looking around he finally allowed his arms to rest at his side once he rose to sit up, as they crossed against his chest in the coffin.<br/><br/>For the time being he allowed himself no luxury of speech, but then again his expression showed plenty about how he was feeling. Indeed, his actions and his cruel grin said far more than any words might have. That grin served a second purpose as well. It allowed him to showcase the fangs that had now grown in place of where human incisors had once stood.<br/><br/>Standing to the sound of that funeral march, Hamish looked about. He felt an incredible need to be fed with blood, but more importantly he also felt the need to be close to the woman that he loved more than anyone else.
