In addition to biology, she and Doyle had another lesson in common - literature, where he, of course, sat down with her again. Sammy no longer reacted so strongly to the presence of Travis near, and their conversation calmed her down a little. She smiled involuntarily when the topic of the lesson was Jane Eyre, the same one she had read the day before. Without even suspecting what impressions await her after ...Travis watched her for a while, then chuckled softly."I thought you loved this book," he said softly, leaning towards Sammy.- Why? She raised her eyes. – Like, is it not very fashionable to be interested in classical literature?Doyle shrugged."It's not fashionable to be stupid," he said. - And in the classics you can learn a lot of useful things. Unless, of course, you know where to look."I didn't know you were a reader," Sammy giggled. “Okay, then how did you figure out Jane Eyre?”- Frog, it's so simple. Travis's blue eyes sparkled. - You look like a heroine.- Say too

When class finally ended, Sammy said goodbye to her friends who kept teasing her about Travis and headed to the parking lot to find him.Travis was standing by his car, but not alone - he had that guy with him again, just like in the cafeteria. After a moment's hesitation, Samantha, nevertheless, went to him. If Doyle changed his mind, so much the better. At least, that's what she told herself, trying to subdue the excitement that had come from nowhere.Seeing her, Travis turned around.“Hi, Frog,” he said, smiling a little. - Where are you? Steve has been entertaining me with stories for fifteen minutes now, but I suspect they are running out.- This is unlikely, - his interlocutor laughed and held out his hand to Samantha: - Steve Allen.He had a pleasant low voice, and Sammy liked his look - nothing to do with Shannon's perpetual mocking mockery."Samantha Wylie," the girl nodded and shook a firm hand. Turning to Doyle, she made a sarcastic grimace, “Sorry, Travis, I don’t have sup

"Abi isn't the worst person," Travis said again. “Sometimes we are too dependent on the opinions of other people. And sometimes, on the contrary, we succumb to all the garbage that's going on inside. He lowered his head. “You know, I wanted to tell you something. You said yesterday that I am free to do it when I see fit.- About what Zach said? Sammy asked, and Doyle nodded.- Yes. In fact, I did a lot of nasty things, but for one thing I'm really ashamed. Do you remember Gary Wright?Samantha strained her memory, but shook her head, and Travis grunted.- No wonder - Harry was "invisible". Of those who no one notices. But one day, to his misfortune, I caught my eye ... It all happened a couple of years ago. Then I started having big problems with my father, and I was constantly beside myself with rabies. He exploded on every occasion, hated the whole world ... Once in a history lesson, I answered, and Gary dared to correct me - he, as it turned out, knew the topic well, was fond of it

But as soon as she entered the house, the good mood began to evaporate - her parents went out to the door, and, judging by their appearance, they were very unhappy.- Samantha, where have you been? the father asked sternly. - It's already dark outside! And your phone is off.Sammy bit her lip, forgetting that her cell phone went dead at the end of the school day.“I was walking,” she said. - With a friend.- So I understand, with the same Travis? Ben spoke up again. His eyes, usually kind, darkened. “And, let me guess, this is Carter Doyle’s son?”"Yes," Sammy confirmed quietly, realizing that it was useless to lie.“Listen,” interrupted the mother, who was clearly upset. “It's not about whose son he is… We were just worried, Sammy! I asked you to come home early, and you show up almost at night, and you don’t even pick up the phone! What should I have thought?- I'm sorry, mom. I forgot about the phone ... Well, I can’t always be an exemplary girl! I wanted to take a walk, and I went

She missed him. The last few days had been too turbulent and too much of Doyle, but Sammy hadn't stopped thinking about her best friend. He may not have been as handsome as Travis, but his kindness, correct and fair concepts of life, inner peace and peacefulness - this is what gave rise to awe in Samantha's soul. With someone like Jas, I wanted to be together, not expecting a dirty trick or an unpleasant surprise. Travis clearly could not boast of the latter.However, the usual thoughts of Jasper, this time, stung Sammy - yes, Travis was not like that, but he tried. I tried to understand what I was doing wrong, and just lived as best I could. If not for his help, Patricia would have been much worse at that ill-fated party, and the bastards would have gone unpunished. Doyle at least slapped them in the face.“That's it, time to go home,” Tina said with a yawn, and Sammy shuddered involuntarily. – What are you thinking?- I'm a little tired too. Sammy stretched, stretching her stiff bac

Sammy took at least half an hour to gather her courage before heading to the parking lot the next evening. Travis went to football practice, saying that she had to drive to her house in a Chevrolet.- How will you get there? Samantha tried to resist, and Doyle smiled a little mockingly.- What the hell, Frog? Come on, don't drift, I believe in you. Steve will drop me off at your neighborhood later.Sammy did not find a reason to refuse him, because she had previously agreed. But it was one thing to take Travis into the woods when he was pinned down, and quite another to leave the school parking lot alone in front of the whole school. But maybe it's time to get strong, as Travis himself spoke of her.Clutching her car keys in her pocket, she called on all her determination to help and went to the jeep. From excitement, she did not immediately manage to find him, but when the Chevrolet finally appeared in her field of vision, she was called out:- Sammy! Wait!Turning around, Samantha s

It seemed to her that an eternity had passed when a car pulled into the gas station. At first Sammy jumped in fright, but it wasn't a Honda, it was a silver Ford. As soon as the car braked nearby, Doyle literally jumped out of the passenger seat.Samantha unlocked the door with trembling hands and climbed out, and Travis flew up and grabbed her and held her tightly to him. Once in his arms, Sammy burst into tears again, and he stroked her back.- Well, that's enough, calm down ... Everything is fine, I'm here ...Trying to control herself, Sammy pulled away slightly, and Travis took her face in his hands and looked into her eyes.Everything will be all right, you hear?Sammy nodded, trembling but still clinging to Travis. However, he didn't push her away.Someone whistled nearby, and Sammy peered over Doyle's shoulder to see Steve. He was looking at the car.- Dude, this is just trash ... Look.Travis turned around without removing his hand from Samantha's shoulders. His face darkened

- How are you baby? Teresa asked when Sammy appeared in the kitchen. You look upset, did something happen?Samantha poured a glass of water and drank it in one gulp. She was still slightly shaking from the experience, and the cold voice of Carter Doyle still rang in her ears. After thinking, she decided not to hide the truth from her mother - more precisely, her "official" part:- Yes... Travis had a minor accident.Terri looked up in fear.- You were with him?"No," Sammy shook her head, shivering. - I then came there with Steve, this is his friend.- And how did Travis himself get hurt? her mother asked sympathetically, and Sammy almost burst into tears again.- No, everything is okay. We were all just a little nervous.“Thank God it worked out,” Teresa breathed. “You seem to be very worried about him,” she said softly, looking at her daughter.Samantha nodded, biting her lip.- Yes, but... Travis is strong, he can handle it.“In that case, you should take care of yourself,” Mom smi

- Which?"I owe you something," Travis smiled slyly. - Let's go to.Her heart beat faster as Sammy took his hand and followed him. He didn't have to go far, only to his car parked nearby.- Wait a minute, I'm here. Travis ran into the house while Sammy waited.Left alone for a while, she fell ill and took a breath - there were a lot of impressions today. In the morning, he, Travis, and Leah visited Steve in the hospital, and now Doyle was no longer tormented by the upcoming treatment of a friend. They knew that this would not happen, and the joy of the meeting was not overshadowed by worries and fears. Steve was on the mend with confidence, though not at a wolf pace, and looked noticeably better. They chatted happily, making plans for the future, and Sammy smiled involuntarily as she watched Steve and Leah. They seemed to be truly in love with each other, and she was pleased with every word they exchanged.Everything had changed so much in the past few days that Sammy had no time to t

On a Saturday afternoon, Sammy and Travis were driving to his parents' house, and Samantha did her best to calm the excitement that was playing out in earnest. Travis cheered her up in every possible way, but she still had goosebumps.“What if he doesn’t like me, and he will be against our relationship ...” she muttered, clenching her trembling fingers in her lap, and Travis smiled:"Even if the whole world is against it, it won't hurt us," he said. - Listen, I already regret that I complained to you so much about your father - you consider him almost a fiend. My dad, of course, is not a gift, but far from a fool, and will be able to recognize a good smart girl. Actually, I'm sure he's got all the information he can on you, so don't worry.Sammy glared at him and Doyle laughed.- Well, what did you think? He's worried about me, as it turned out, so he wouldn't be surprised.- Come on, both of you ... - Sammy muttered, which amused Travis more than ever.But he, despite the bravado, wa

Remembering this, Sammy blushed involuntarily, and Travis mistook her embarrassment for alarm.- Everything will be fine, Frog! It will only clarify my position, nothing more. Do you believe me?"Yes," Sammy whispered, and the excitement dissipated like mist before it arrived.Matthew was a burly, black-haired man in his forties, about the same age as Becker. He stared at Sammy and Travis as they drew closer, then smiled, and Samantha's heart eased, meaning he didn't see the new werewolf as a threat. When Becker, who seemed slightly flustered, introduced them to each other, they sat down at a table away from the noisy room.First, Matthew told Travis the same legend, and he listened very carefully, although he knew its content. At the moment when they talked about the love of the young man for his brother and how it helped him become a man again, Travis turned to Sammy:"You didn't tell me that," he said slowly. “So that’s where my salvation was?” That's why you had such an influence

When Sammy and Travis arrived at school a week later, they were in a wonderful mood. The week flew by like a flash, and they spent almost all the time together. They decided to postpone dinner at the Doyle house - Travis's father, who really withdrew his candidacy for mayor of the city, came to grips with the affairs of his company, and so far was very busy. But nothing prevented Travis from being with Samantha, and they spent a couple of evenings at her house, in the company of their parents.Ben, if at first he was on his guard, soon relaxed, and he and Travis quickly found a common language, talking about different things. Sammy and her parents were surprised to learn that the Doyle family donated a large amount to the fire relief fund and also provided food aid - Carter Doyle, among other things, owned a large supermarket chain. So the opinion about Doyle Sr., if not changed, then somewhat softened, which Sammy was very glad about - I would not want their parents to be at enmity.

Sammy had been sleeping for almost a whole day and when she woke up she felt like a mindless zombie. However, it was for the best, and the terrible moments that she experienced went further and further into the depths of her consciousness. She thought only of Travis and was madly waiting for a new meeting, not at all doubting that he would come.She washed up and ate again with her parents, then called Leah and Jasper. Both were fine, just worried about her, but she assured her friends that she was fine. Sammy knew she would have to explain something to them about what had happened later, but not now. It was a huge stroke of luck that the friends didn't have to watch Travis' or Defalco's conversions, and the terrible secret remained unsolved.She didn't want to think about Defalco, but Sammy kept thinking about Travis' words. It was hard to believe that Ray would forever remain a wolf and never come back, but she believed Travis - he would never let him go if there was a chance that h

What happened next was like a blur. Medics ran up to them to help, firefighters put out the fire - as it turned out, they almost always went with the police to such calls. A helicopter was circling in the sky, and it seemed to Sammy that she was in some kind of action movie, everything that was happening around was so wild.None of them were seriously injured, and the doctors took care of the wounded Yamamoto, only treated the abrasion on Travis's head. Sammy watched as he was loaded on a stretcher into an ambulance.- What will happen now? she asked quietly. “What if he tells the police everything?”- And who will believe him? Travis put his arm around her as he sat next to her. They both wrapped themselves in one blanket, and the heat in Travis's body slowly subsided. “He’s crazy, I knew that right away. And now he has no proof.- Something left. Sammy looked up at him. Becker saved his notebook before setting off the explosion.- What? Travis suddenly laughed. "So he did it?" Look,

The pain in the body gradually passed, but the soul was torn to pieces. Sammy thrashed about inside the basement as if she were a wolf locked in a cage. She pounded on the door until her hands went numb, then she slid to the floor, barely breathing.It seemed like an eternity to her when, finally, the lock clicked again. Sammy backed away from the door, standing on trembling legs, ready to fight whoever it was.But on the threshold she saw not tormentors at all. In disbelief, Sammy staggered and literally fell into Leah's arms.“Sam, God…” she breathed, and Sammy, barely able to speak, muttered:- Leah... Travis is there... I have to save him!"Hush, hush," Leah whispered, holding her. - We found him, everything is in order! He didn't get hurt! Let's go to…With difficulty rearranging her legs from surging weakness, Sammy went, supported by her friend, up the stairs. Once at the top, Leah called out:- I found it, Jas!- Jas? Sammy asked, barely breathing. - He is here?..- Well, what

I resisted as best I could, but the strength seemed to have disappeared, and all I was able to do was yell and curse at the bastard who squeezed my hands in a steel vise.Defalco just laughed, listening to my impotent threats:- Don't squeal, Doyle, it won't help you... It's your own fault that you'll die and framed your girl... That's what happens when you get in my way. It would be better for you if you understood this earlier.- Stinky coward! I shouted, helplessly trying to resist him. - In the forest you draped from us that your heels sparkled! What, are you afraid that without an injection of this psycho I will wind your guts around your neck ??Defalco twisted my arm so that sparks came out of my eyes from the pain, and then slammed my head against the wall. My mind went haywire, and I would have collapsed to the floor if he hadn't continued to drag me down the corridor.The design on the stupid wallpaper swirled before my eyes, dancing in strange zigzags. It looks like flowers

Sammy didn't know how much time they spent in their arms, kissing, hugging and caressing each other. A minute or an hour - time has disappeared, leaving them only love. When, finally, they managed to open their arms, at least a little, an understanding began to come of what was happening to them now.- Travis... What will happen to us? Sammy said, looking into his eyes, which immediately turned into pain."I don't know, my good…" Travis sighed. But remember that I won't let you get hurt. I will do anything for this.Sammy looked around - the basement was completely empty, only a plastic bucket in the corner and a bottle of water. It wasn't until she saw her that she realized how thirsty she was.- Can I have some water? she asked, and Travis immediately pushed the bottle towards her.- I'm sorry, Frog, I didn't think that ... Hold on quickly.After draining at least half of it at once, Sammy took a breath. Putting the bottle aside, she glanced at Travis and only now realized that he h
