In the middle of the night, Sammy opened her eyes abruptly, as if something had pushed her. She cast her habitual glance toward the window and jumped up in bed—Travis was in the room.

Her heart pounded, and Sammy flew out of bed and, running up to him, found herself in his strong arms. She exhaled with happiness, a forgotten feeling of joy from his presence filled everything ...

- Frog, wait... - Travis unclenched his hands. Something in his voice alarmed her, and Sammy pulled back and looked up at him. She didn't like what she saw, because Travis was pale - even in the dim light of a street lamp, whose reflection made its way through the window, it was noticeable. Something in his eyes made her heart clench.

- What's happened? she spoke softly.

Travis twitched all over as if he had been poked with something sharp. Looking away, he said:

- Steve... Defalco got to him.

- What?? Sammy gasped. She pressed her hand to her mouth as cold, clammy fear crawled up her spine. - What about him?.

    The next day the whole school was talking about what happened to Steve. He was treated well, and what happened to the guy upset everyone. To Sammy's surprise, she was constantly approached with questions, seeing earlier that they were talking, but she herself really did not know anything - only from the words of Travis. Steve's condition worried her, and Samantha decided to stop by the hospital after school. They will hardly let him in, but at least you can talk to your parents and ask the doctors about his condition.Goosebumps ran down her skin as soon as she imagined the attack itself. She perfectly remembered the animal horror that gripped her in the forest, surrounded by wolves, and what it was like to endure such horror, one could only guess. Sammy thought with a shudder about how the teeth of the Defalco wolf sank into his body ... And it is not known where this monster is now.She trusted Travis, believed that he could find Ray and protect her. But faith alone was still not en

    I smelled his scent when we were almost exhausted. Familiar, teasing, he caused a real storm in me, and the muscles seemed to forget about fatigue, and inside everything flared up from indomitable hatred.Pausing only for a moment, in order to draw in my nose deeper, I tensed up with my whole body and quickly rushed along the trail, the others followed me, driven by my inaudible call. We moved like a single organism, silent and impetuous, and the goal already seemed so close ...Now I did not remember his name, but I remembered why and for what I should take revenge on him, and I knew that he was my only target. Somewhere in the back of my mind, she surfaced - the one for which I live. I always remembered her, whoever I was, and suddenly felt the heady joy of the chase. She captured my body, made me rush forward, not seeing or hearing anything. After all, if I can catch him, she will be saved ...He smelled us - echoes of his consciousness reached me. Fear, hatred, anger - now I could

    - What if someone sees it?- Who? Nobody's here. And it's already dark...I pulled her back to me, and she gave in, but soon began to resist again. I grabbed Miranda's hands behind her back and knocked her over onto the grass, leaning on top of her.- Stop! It's dirty here... And it's cold... - she muttered, trying to break free. “Ray… I don’t want to… Ray!”I didn't care what she wanted. I felt the zipper on her skirt, and then Miranda just flew up. Having contrived, she kneeled me in the groin, and I, gasping in pain, rolled to the side. I doubled over, breathing heavily through clenched teeth.- Bitch! I hissed, and Miranda recoiled and tried to get up.- You... You're such a freak! she called. “Travis was right when he beat you at that party!”Startled, I slowly raised my head. Even the pain in my groin receded under the influence of the red veil of hellish anger that covered my eyes.- What did you say? I breathed.What Miranda said I didn't hear anymore. Wild rage convulsed me,

    - They say it happened on the western outskirts, where the old warehouses. I don't know why the hell Miranda got in there, she was alone. When the wolf attacked, she managed to run to the car, take her purse from the front seat and put it in the wolf's teeth - this saved her. The wolf, of course, tangibly hit her, but still she got much less than Steve ...Samantha thought hard as she listened to Tina's story. Indeed, it is very strange that Miranda went there. What should she do there? If Defalco attacked her - and there was no one else - the conclusion suggested itself. She obviously went to meet him.“They say the state sent us to help us,” Tina said, and Sammy looked up at her with a start. Now the wolves will be dealt with once and for all.Goosebumps ran down Samantha's back. What will happen to Travis? It was already dangerous for him to participate in all this, and now even more so ...As if to confirm what was said, a helicopter flew over the school. Sammy stared at him resig

    Sammy spent the whole day before the ball in extreme agitation. She tried on all her few dresses five times and desperately regretted that after all the events she had not thought to buy an outfit for the ball. Realizing that she just wanted to look good in Travis' eyes, Samantha was annoyed with herself - it was too late to think about it. Travis had seen her in any form, and a new dress wouldn't change a thing. That's what Sammy told herself, but she bit her lips as she gazed doomedly at her clothes.Finally, she opted for a dark green silk dress, simple but elegant. It was almost new—Sammy had only worn it once a year ago, to her cousin's wedding. Picking up simple dark pumps and a thin gold chain, she belatedly thought that Travis would notice the absence of the pendant he had presented. Any reminder of the lost jewelry was given with pain in the heart, because it was his gift. But still nothing can be done, and Sammy decided to go down to her parents in order not to let herself b

    - Hello. You're late." Sammy narrowed her eyes.- This is instead - I missed you? Doyle chuckled. - Solid reproaches and no affection.I thought you'd be one of the first here. Sammy tucked a brown lock behind her ear. - Admit it, you missed the secular life?- But how! Therefore, I decided that it would be necessary to brush the fur before showing up here. Not everyone likes the smell of a wet dog, unlike you.Sammy grimaced.- I'm crazy about him, that's right. I don't even wash clothes that...She did not finish - a couple of classmates were passing by. But as she looked up at Travis, she realized there was no need for that. He already knew that she wanted to see him. He knew everything about her.The excitement that Sammy had been trembling about before he arrived vanished in an instant. She became herself again, wrapped in the warmth of his presence, and everything fell into place, it seemed hopelessly lost.Sammy looked away and once again noticed that they were watched by half

    For a while, Sammy just stood still, unable to take a step, but then she seemed to wake up. Without looking at anyone, she returned to the table, pick up her purse, and went to the exit. There was no more reason to stay here.My heart hurt so much that I wanted to die. She understood, she understood everything, but circumstances pulled Travis out of her arms as roughly as if they had taken a part of her. And again the frightening uncertainty, anxiety and melancholy ... And these moments remained in the past, although just a few minutes ago it seemed that she was living again.Strengthening with all her strength so as not to burst into tears in front of everyone, Sammy quickly walked into the darkness, towards the gym. She didn't think she could meet Defalco there, she didn't think about anyone but Travis. How close he was... And not just in a physical sense. As if their souls finally opened up to each other and became one. And broke up again...She easily found his clothes - Travis di

    Out on the highway, Sammy sped the car south. Becker once showed her on the map the path that Travis was supposed to lead the pack, and she went in that direction. If Travis went anywhere after their conversation, then only there, to his own. Even if now he could not turn into a wolf, but he could at night. Not imagining what state he must be in after a night run, Sammy swallowed tears of impotence. Well, how could she have blundered like that ... Couldn't she have said it directly?Well, providence played a cruel joke with them. If for Samantha herself it was obvious that she had only friendly feelings for Jasper, then the rest could not know about it. Travis had known before that she was in love with his friend, and quite expectedly misunderstood her. And Sammy herself was too upset to understand what she was saying. But what an unfortunate accident led to ...Sammy was well aware that she had almost no chance of finding him. The road could not last forever, and through the forest s

    - 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
