Sam-A searing pain spread through my back, I didn’t know where I was or who was attacking me, all I knew was I flailed my arm out in an attempt to hurt whoever was attacking me. It was only then, I felt the ears and fur beneath my fingers, that my brain finally caught up. I pulled on an ear and a roar broke the darkness. The animal retreated.I had been attacked by a wolf, was it the rouge? I took a deep breath in. I could smell death all around me, but one smell stood out. The smell of pine trees and vanilla, but that was Caleb’s smell? Did Caleb attack me? I remember him saying that wolves are dangerous but would a wolf attack someone when they were in control?The stars that once enveloped my body were slowly making their way back into my vision. I felt my stomach do backflips as my heart dropped. I forced my arms to move around me and search for anything in the pitch-black that could show me who was there.After a moment my fingers grazed something metal and I picked it up, I fel
Caleb- I started vigorously shaking Sam, pure fear ate at my soul. I checked for her pulse, it was faint, but still there. Thank God! Crawling back up to the cab of my truck I slapped the window. “Liam hurry!” panic pulsed through my veins; she can’t die. I just found her; I’m not ready to let her go yet.Crawling back to Sam’s limp body, I knew it was going to hurt but I needed her to wake up. I grabbed her wounded leg, pulled her pant leg up, and examined the damage. Her body only shifted so slightly but she didn’t make any noise.The bone was sticking out through the skin, and her leg mid-calf was twisted the wrong way. Setting the leg back down I could feel the bone rub together, chills made little goose pimples run down my back. I had to set it and get it closed if I had any hope for her to live.The blood flow needed to be stopped before she bled out. Leaning up on my knees, I one-handedly ripped my belt from the loops. I tied it off just above her knee and watched as the blood
Sam-Slowly sounds started coming back in the dark. Everything around me was so loud, an overwhelming hunger was eating at me. Opening my eyes I tried to look around the lights were far to bring so I closed them again. What was that smell? It smelled like a wet animal and metal.Everything started slowly coming back to me, the fight at Lily’s the battle in the forest, Caleb attacking me in the cave. I remembered that my leg was broken, slowly I tried my leg and expected to feel the normal flair of pain.It was then I realized I felt no pain at all, I tried to slowly focus on the sounds around me. I could hear the chatter of people around me but couldn’t focus on the words. Far in the distance, I could smell the familiar pine and vanilla smell I came to find a home in.Footsteps approached the side of my bed, where was I and why is it so loud in here? Caleb must be close because his smell was getting stronger. There was another smell I could smell; it was grotesque like a wet dog.“Sam
Caleb – I was so exhausted, Sam’s cold body curled up next to mine. I shifted my body with the last ounces of energy I had for her to get closer to me. I cringed when her cold skin rushed with mine, this was a new version of a girlfriend’s cold feet on your leg.“I’m okay.”I could hear her sobs coming out, I didn’t want her to feel this way. I knew that baby vamps could get out of control very easily and considering three days ago she didn’t even know about wolves or vampires she was taking the news very well.I did my best to wrap my arms around her to try to comfort her. Her body shivered with her sobs, I pulled her face up to look at me. I needed to see her blue eyes looking back at me. She refused at first but when she did, she had streams of tears smudging her face. With my thumb, I brushed her lips, oh how I loved those lips.“Can we lay somewhere more comfortable?” my voice was quiet and weak.“I’ll help you up.” She scrambled to her feet with lightning speed.I reached up to
Sam-Waking up I could hear Caleb’s heartbeat under my ear, his breath shallow. I took in my view, he had sheets covering his hips down but my imagination painted the rest of the picture not in front of my eyes.I slowly looked around it was light out now, fuck we were going to be late for work I tried to pry myself from his body but found an arm that pulled me back into him. I laid my head back on his chest.“I already excused us from work. I told them we were working on a case out of town.” His voice was gruff from sleep.“So, tell me more about what I am now.” I could not help my curiosity.“Wolves and vamps have been at war for ages so technically you’re my enemy.” A smile teased on his face.Running my hand over his chest I tried to figure out the question I wanted answers to. “So, wolves hate vamps? Is that why everyone was talking at the hospital?”He rolled to face me, his arm finding a home between my ribs and my hips. “People are concerned because I am the alpha of my pack an
Caleb- The meeting room was another building across the way, and I could already see all the pack heading that way, Sam's hand gripped mine. As we walked, we passed by the infirmary, a tight feeling developed in my chest. Seeing her bleeding and broken, some part of me believes it's my fault. Had I decided to just leave her alone would any of this happen? Would she be what she is now? Would I have been able to just leave her be? Looking over to her as we walked, my brain started filling full of thoughts and questions. Walking up to the building I pulled slightly on Sam’s hand to make her face me. She pulled her hair back into a ponytail before we had left the room, her natural features and deep blue eyes engulfed me. She had a look of concern and determination to her; this was the look we would need if we were to stand our ground to the pack accepting her. “Do not take anything they say in here to heart, you are my mate, and I am their alpha. They will learn to love you as I do re
Sam- I dropped to my knees, a young girl maybe 17 sat on the ground pointing and sobbing. Her screams did not make any sense. I could feel my gut turn and the hunger set in, then I smelled it. The familiar smell of sugar cookies and vanilla, the smell of blood. I turned to follow her finger only to find my body collapsing next to the girls. On the wall of the Pack building was a trail of blood from the ground leading up to right under what would be Caleb’s window to his room. At the end of the trail was a familiar face, I had seen this man before in the caves. He had been the man that Blair sent to get me a blanket. The man's hands had stakes through them holding him upright to the wall, his feet were overlapped and had a steak through them as well. He looked like the pictures you see of Jesus on the cross, except his body was covered in cuts, claw marks from the looks of it. Then I heard it, thump thump. It was faint but I could hear his heartbeat. “Help him down! He’s stil
Sam- I could barely move while I rolled myself out of bed. The gym kicked my ass yesterday and I can feel it today. I roll off the bed and walk to my mirror, standing in front of my full-body mirror, I could see the efforts I put in starting to pay off. My body appeared slimmer, and I was starting to curve in the right places while flattening out in the wrong ones. “Sam!” My roommate Lily called from the kitchen. I could smell bacon and eggs all the way in my room which meant she had a good night last night with her date. “Come and get it!” “I'm up, Weirdo!” I shouted back, slowly pulling on a tank top and some pajama bottoms, and then I made my way to the kitchen. Coming into the kitchen I noticed we weren't alone. Lilly had brought her date back home and he was something to look at. He stood about six feet tall and extremely bulky next to Lily’s petite body. Lily only stood five foot and six inches; a couple of inches shorter than me. Tying back my long black hair in a bun, I

Caleb- She had blood all over her. Before I could catch him, Liam came running past me. He picked up her petite body and checked her over. He was smelling her and looking over her wounds. I watched as relief flowed over him when she moved a bit.“It’s not hers…” His voice carries. “It’s Sam’s.”Running over to where he had her cradled in his arms, I started smelling her, I could smell traces of the Rouge but most of it smelled like Sam. Fury rose in my veins and red rings started around my vision. I couldn’t think straight, I swear to God. If any harm has come to her, I’ll make his death slow and merciless. I will rip him piece by piece starting with his fingers for even touching her. Staring at Liam, he had Lily’s head in his head pushed up to his chest, and I felt a ping of jealousy engulf me.I needed Sam to be safe, I needed her in my arms like that. This wild goose chase we were on was killing me. I needed to know if she was alive. I was going to make her safe at the pack house
Caleb-We were racing over to Lily and Sam’s house when I could feel a mysterious pain start. “Hurry up Liam.”If this rouge was after my mate, I had to get to her first. We rounded the corner for Sam’s. I could barely make it out, but the door to the front was open. Liam pulled up to the house, I didn’t even wait for the vehicle to stop before I jumped out and ran inside. There was blood in a trail from the kitchen. My heart sank at the amount. I couldn’t lose my mate, not when I had just found her.I felt the panic set in more when I rounded the corner and saw blood Covering the floor up to the counter. A knife was attached to the counter and had blood covering it as well. It looked like a murder scene. I walked over to the knife and used my rage and anger to rip it up.Pulling up to my nose I gave it a full inspection. It smelled like Sam but it also smelled like death. The rogue! He was here but the question was where were the girls? I turned around and Liam was frozen in the door
