Samantha did not have time to open the front door - it swung open in front of her. Her father appeared in the doorway, and Sammy shuddered, she had never seen him so furious.

Ben grabbed her arm and pulled her inside. His face was reddened with anger, he could hardly control himself.

- Where have you been?? roared the father. I already called the police!

- What? For what? Sammy exclaimed. Dad, I told you...

“I thought you were arrested with him!” Ben shouted. Behind him appeared his mother with a tear-stained face. “Where have you been, I ask again!”

"Near the school," Sammy said softly, leaning against the wall. “Dad, it's all resolved… It's not Travis' fault.

- Don't you dare rip him off! Are you saying he doesn't use anything? I saw him the other day - everything is written on his face!

- Baby, we ... - the mother began, it was, but Sammy seemed to be engulfed in a fire of raging anger:

- What?? she shouted. - What do you know about him! You could have asked me first! Travis does n

    Samantha was shaking like never before in her life. Everything blurred before her eyes, she moved her legs with difficulty. Fear for Travis drove her forward, but she didn't know what was in store for her. How will he meet her...A wolf is a wolf. No matter how Travis himself treated her, he became a wild beast, with a little bit of his mind. And because Sammy was very scared. But she couldn't leave Travis alone.A clearing appeared in her path unexpectedly, Sammy almost stumbled, finding herself in an open space. She moved cautiously to the nearest tree, squatted down with her back against the trunk, and waited.Loaded with rain. Quiet, small. It seemed like a sad echo of tragic events. Sammy remembered how her grandfather died. She looked at him, lying in a coffin, and could not believe that nothing more could be done. That his hands would forever remain cold and frozen, and his eyes closed. That her beloved grandfather left her forever ...She did not know why she remembered this,

    Sammy opened her eyes. It was morning—the light in the room spoke of it—but she could hardly think. The body ached a little, a fog reigned in the head. She didn't want to move and just lay there looking ahead.Gradually the memories became clearer. Travis' charge, Abi, his mother... And the forest. She saw him, saw the wolf. Was next to him ... And then Travis turned into a man and, it seems, brought her home.There was a slight rustling from somewhere behind her, and Sammy knew he hadn't left. Her heart instantly began to beat faster, and she turned in the direction from which the sound had come.Doyle was indeed here. He sat in an armchair at her desk and read a book - that same "Jane Eyre". Hearing that Sammy woke up, the guy looked up and smiled slightly.- Good morning.His voice sounded hoarse and his eyes were tired. But the tenderness with which Travis looked at her could not be overlooked."Hi," Sammy said softly. - You did not sleep?- Slept a little. Travis put the book dow

    When Sammy finished her water procedures, it was time to go down - it was impossible to pull. At any moment his father could return, and Sammy perfectly imagined how his meeting with Travis in his own house could end.They went down the stairs. Judging by the clinking of dishes, Teresa was in the kitchen. Sammy took a deep breath and pulled Doyle with her.When they entered, the mother threw a quick glance at both and nodded towards the table:- Sit down, the scrambled eggs are almost ready. Sammy, get yourself and Travis coffee.Feeling unusually strange, Samantha obediently took out two cups and walked over to the coffee maker. Travis cleared his throat softly, and Sammy chuckled nervously—wow, he looked embarrassed.They returned to the table at the same time as Terry. She set out plates of scrambled eggs and toast in front of the boys, and Sammy set out the coffee, almost spilling it with excitement."Thank you, Mrs. Wylie," Travis said, and Sammy's mother nodded.- I already said

    In that moment, Sammy realized what he was talking about. The mother's words, which had first slipped by, sounded in her ears again: "... hurt him badly."- And you think that ... the same thing will happen to him as to you? - She spoke softly.Travis turned even paler, although it seemed impossible.But you are not a wolf yourself! Sammy continued, trying to control her nervous trembling. “Maybe it doesn't work that way.- We don't know how it works. Travis went to the window. “I was a wolf when I bit him. And whoever bit me could also be a werewolf."Jesus…" Sammy covered her face with her hands. As soon as it began to seem to her that they were coping with the situation, she took a worse turn. - What to do?"I don't know," Doyle shook his head. “I have no idea how to cope with myself, and here he is ...- Can you imagine what he can do if he becomes a wolf? Sammy asked, looking at Travis with wide eyes. “Defalco does terrible things to humans, and…- I represent too well. Travis to

    Travis arrived around seven. Sammy solemnly informed her parents that she would go for a walk with him and did not know when she would return, which made her father frown with displeasure. But Ben only told her to stay in touch, and her mother smiled reassuringly.Putting on her jacket, Sammy ran out of the house. After her morning conversation with Doyle and the subsequent experiences, she was shaking slightly, but as soon as she saw his smile, all anxiety seemed to be removed by hand.He looked noticeably better. The bruises under his eyes were gone, Travis seemed rested and fresh. And amazingly beautiful..."You're just like a pickle," Sammy smiled involuntarily, and Doyle chuckled.- Yes, it seems that the wolf does not like being left out for a long time. Well, the next days, or rather nights, are his. In this regard, I have a proposal, - he hesitated a little. - I want to try today ... to be with you. It's so amazing when I'm a wolf, but at the same time I think, almost like a m

    Her parents greeted her quite favorably, because Sammy did not come late. Father even smiled, and Teresa asked:How was your evening, baby?- Well, - involuntarily broke into a smile Sammy. We had dinner at the Yellow Lamp, it's so great there!Ben raised his eyebrows."Your Travis has good taste," he said. - Great establishment.- Agree. Sammy stopped at the door to the living room, looking at her mom and dad sitting on the couch. She didn't want to betray their trust again by fleeing into the darkness of the night, but she had no choice. Slightly hesitating, she said: - Excuse me for yesterday. I was just frustrated and...- But everything ended well? her father asked, and she nodded.- Yes, dad. Now everything is all right.- Well, I'm glad. I hope it will always be like this,” Ben said, and his mother smiled."...I hope so too," Sammy muttered under her breath as she started upstairs.Once in the room, she took a breath. Shedding her jacket, Sammy grabbed clean underwear, a T-shir

    The next week was unusually difficult. At school, Sammy had several control and tests, new difficult topics, and his head was occupied with completely different things, so he had to gather all his will into a fist. Yes, and lack of sleep made itself felt - half the night she consistently spent with Travis in the forest. It became something more and more familiar, but just as exciting, and each time it became more and more difficult for her to be apart from him even for a few hours. Travis didn't push for anything more, which Sammy was glad about, but their hugs and quick kisses on the cheek happened more often, and she knew that everything was coming to a single conclusion. But she didn't want to think about it, it felt too good now.So, despite the general fatigue, Sammy was in a great mood. Defalco didn't show up at school, he was in the hospital, and she and Travis made an unspoken rule not to think about him for now. Travis, apparently, was almost happy that he was able to cope wi

    She bit her lip and shrugged. She wanted to burst into tears, so wounded by his detached behavior.Travis lingered on her face and sighed."Don't feel guilty," he said. “I don’t want anything from you, Samantha. You've given me way too much time already, which I'm very grateful for, but you don't have to be around if you don't want to.His indifferent tone made Sammy twist inside."Travis, why are you saying this…" she whispered. "You know what's important to me!" Don't you understand it yourself?He shook his head wearily.- I don't understand, Frog. Okay, forget it, I don't want you to worry in vain. Let's go to…Travis took her by the elbow, and Sammy was about to tell him a lot, but they were interrupted. Shannon literally stumbled into the corridor, and, breathing heavily, leaned against the wall.“Moron…” he muttered, and Travis, startled, took a quick step towards him.- Zach, what's the matter? Who's the moron?He cast a glance at him from under his brows, but reluctantly repl

    - 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
