Chapter 7

~"I want to turn you into one of me Lacey we could be together forever." Those words kept replaying in my head over and over again."~ I wanted to be with Jeremiah but i knew turning into a vampire was wrong and there was no way we would be happy together has vampires we weren't ourselves i had to keep reminding myself that he wasn't himself it was a monster but he felt so real the way he use to be without the red eyes and fangs i would've have never told the difference. "Lacey?" Jordan said quietly. I turned to look at him he was paler than the last time i saw him there where circles under his eyes like he hadn't slept in days. J..Jordan. Are you okay i reached to touch his face i was a inch away when he turned away. I saw him and you together out there i heard a noise so i went outside. When i saw it was you so much concern came inside me i was happy that you came but then i noticed someone with you and i saw it was him and i lost...Jordan it's okay i understand your hiding something you can tell me you know you can tell me anything i won't push you away. I felt like a hypocrite just a few days ago i had yelled at him for having feelings for me and told him i would never have feel the same way for him. i crushed him. I swallowed. i knew he knew what i was thinking and guilt and forgivness where clear as crystal on my face. "I'm not mad at you Lacey, i don't particulary forgive you but i could never be mad at you, i should'nt have reacted the way i did when you told me about..."Jeremaih he said coldly." I put my hand over his don't be so hard on yourself it was my fault i should'nt have told you i should've done it privately not where there were other people to witness. Lucky for you i was banned from that starbucks. He laughed he almost fell back in his chair. And i missed that? Miss lacey getting kicked out of a starbucks that would've been quite a show to see im pretty sure you gave them a good fight when you where being taken out."

It was nice to see Jordan laugh i smiled a small smile, actually i cried when you left smile falling from my face and i just left. The smile left from his face i never cried for anyone or anything in my life except.."Jeremiah." You cried?...Yes i whispered. "Lacey!" It's so good to see you i didn't know you where over. Me and Jordan jumped i took my hand of his His mom was in the living room now. -Oh was i inturputtng something?- No, i was just going to leave." i said. Jordan exspression didn't change. Oh im sorry dear if im making you leave. No it's late i better be getting home any way. I'll see you at school Jordan but he didn't even look away from where i was sitting i closed the door when i left. That was defintelly the most wierdest night of my life i thought as i drove home.

-Are you kidding i have to run around the track five times?- It was below freezing outside and sheadon was going to have me run the track five times to have good speed when running from an opponet. I looked out i remembered what Jeremiah said that he was watching me both shivers and longing went through me. I didn't want Jeremiah watching my every move he would know how to kill me and know my every moves. "Hey do you think we could run inside today?" Sure, he said suprised. it is a bit chilly out here. A bit? i said stuttering. Come on let's go inside and get started where already running late. I finished my second lap three more two go. Sheadon had already overlapped me twice, Show off i mumbled. He got into step with me and we started to run together. Come on step your game up your faster than that. Easy for you to say you have overlapped me three times already i said breaths in between. Not all of us are fit like some people. I pushed my legs harder and ran harder and faster not looking at the exspression on Sheadon's face as i ran i had my last lap to go. I noticed someone coming in the door. It was Jordan i almost tripped over a cone. He smiled at me and sat at one of the seats in the bleachers. What was he doing here he had english right now. He must have been ditching. I waved back. Breathing hard i had finished all my laps without puking. Nice, job lacey. Sheadon appeared he tossed me a water your getting better. Keep it up, he smiled i'll see you tomorrow. I nodded i didn't have any breath left to speak. I turned to the bleachers Jordan was still seating there he came down. Wow you have some skill there Lacey i didn't think you had it in you. I punched his arm Yeah right i could kick your ass if i wanted to,I smirked. I'm not to sure about that im alot stronger than you think. Hah. Listen i thought alot about what you said about your quest. Confusion was on my face. I know what your thinking i am still mad you brought it up, but after thinking alot i'm going to help you. My water spit from my mouth. His eyebrow going up. "Did i say someting wrong?" I stood there for a few moments. Are you joking? Do i look like im joking? He was so serious, No i whispered.

I can help you and even train with you, Sheadon doesn't know that your going to training to kill a vampire, he doesn't know they exist he whispered. The way Jordan said it mad me step back. I..I know but i need his training he's good. Really, his he going to teach you how to stake a vampire how to run and hide from them to not hesitate when you go up against one?" I wa quiet didn't think so. And you can teach me that? i can teach you alot of things, he leaned in, he was really really close his lips weren't even an inch away and i wasn't pulling away. i starred at him in the eyes. I have a secret of my own.., I swallowed hard on my own saliva i was alittle scared, There's nothing to be scared of lacey..He whispered in my ear "Im a vampire".

Okay, that ending was too cool. I love how Jordan just says 'I'm a vampire,' it's so simple but so strong and blunt it's perfect. You have to write more!!

Chapter Five:
“Rose, stop being so childish.” Aaron complained to me when I slammed my door in his face. “I’m not childish!” I shouted back at him and heard him sigh. “It’s going to happen sooner or later Rose. Everyone is waiting for us you know. Just come down and hunt with me then you can sulk in your room afterwards.”
“I do not sulk!” I argued through the door and he sighed again. “Rose,”
“Go away Aaron, I’m not going with you.”
“Rose, come on. What would Derek think of this?” he asked and my heart hurt. That was low for him to go there. The pain in my chest was like I was shot by something even though it was just words. I held my hand up to my heart trying to stop the pain. It was quiet for a long time when I sat on my bed curling up in a ball on the verge of tears at the mention of my father. I heard Aaron shift his weight outside my door before the knob turned and he opened it slowly. I felt him watching me as he opened the door further then walked inside. He kneeled in front of me placing his hands on my knees making them push away from my chest to sit properly on the bed. I hastily whipped my wet eyes but he caught my hands. “I’m sorry, I didn’t know.” He whispered to me holding my gaze before I snatched my hands away. “It doesn’t matter,” I muttered getting up and started to walk away. “Lets just get this over with.” I said over my shoulder to him before descending down the stairs to the living room where everyone was. I gave them a faint smile before heading to the front door so I could change. “Listen, Rose.” Aaron said catching up behind me, he tone was soft and calm. “No, don’t make me mad in front of them Aaron. We’re supposed to be the ‘happy, perfect Alpha couple’. Just shut up and change so we can be done with this. Clearly you’re just as happy with this as I am so why don’t we just save the trouble.” I told him once we reached the trees and I started to undo my pants and shirt when Aaron took my bare upper arms in his hands. “Do you think I’m not happy about having you as my Alpha?” he asked me and I closed my eyes for a moment and inhaled deeply. Aaron’s cologne filled my lungs before I exhaled looking back up at his confused sapphire eyes. “Yes, I do think that.” I admitted and he softened his grip around my arms before pulling me into him. Naturally my face buried itself in his bare chest as my arms hugged the small of his back. “You are my Alpha, Rose. I couldn’t be happier to have this with you.”
“You’re just saying that because you want to fuck me, Aaron.” I muttered into his chest and he pulled me away to look into my eyes. “Is that what you think of me? I’m just around to have sex with people?”
I hesitated with my answer and he let my arms go and walked closer to his patch of clothes he started to strip off. He was taking off is shorts when he turned around to argue against my statement. “Okay, sure. Yes I do want to be with you but that’s not the only reason I like having you as my Alpha, Rose. You’re a beautiful girl, stunning in everyway and yeah, a man would be crazy not to image himself with you but I have other reasons. You’re smart, you deal with things I could never think of, you can connect to people, touch them, move them, make them feeling like they are worth something, you deal with the kids all the time without complaint, you can take charge or orders easily. You’re like him in so many ways Rose. You are Derek’s daughter so you being Alpha is natural.” He told me leaving me speechless. The wolves howled around us in wonder where their Alphas were. “We can talk about this later Aaron, we need to go now.” I told him and he sighed before dropping his shorts and took a few steps to me. “I can change Rose, tell me how and I will do it for you.” He told me linking his fingers with mine. “Later Aaron,” I murmured looking up at his eyes. He leaned down to kiss me before letting me go to change into his wolf. I followed him and soon we were black shadows running through the forest. We met up with our family, I rubbed my muzzle with Eve then Abe who was running around my feet. Aaron snapped at him but I growled back telling him Abe was just a kid and leave him alone. He nudged my shoulder with his before sniffing the air and picking up at scent of something to hunt. Looking back at me he motioned north and we took off. A small herd of deer was passing through the woods when the eleven of us attacked. Aaron and I went of a buck while Victor and Izzy went for the smaller one, Tim and Eve caught a doe, and Sam and Caleb went for the other doe. Trevor and Abe were still too small to hunt and feed off of whatever we left behind. Aaron was ripping the buck’s stomach out when I noticed Abe passing around in wait for something to eat, his tongue licking his lips. I left Aaron to find both Trevor and Abe before leading them to my buck. They looked at me confused until I nudged them closer meaning they could have my portion. Hungrily they bit into the buck’s lower half were Aaron wasn’t as I lay on my stomach in watch. Aaron snapped and the kids meaning to get away and let the Alphas eat first but I snarled at him telling him to leave them alone and it was my choice. Aaron looked confused at me before continuing to eat. I rested my head on my paws as my eyes closed to my family devouring their catches when I felt something fall beside me. Opening my eyes Aaron dropped a chunk of meat by my paws for me. I held his gaze before gulping the meat down. Aaron stood by my side as I ate quickly then he offered me his spot with the kids and I took it. I didn’t eat much but I did feel pretty bloody. When I was done I rubbed my muzzle in the grass to whip the blood off when Aaron walked over and licked my muzzle. He licked slowly in long strokes to catch all the blood from my fur on my muzzle and neck before he licked my nose in a playful way. Looking back at him I did the same thing licking off the blood from his coat then turned to Abe and Trevor. Abe let me clean him happily but Trevor pulled away when I got to his lower jaw. Aaron nudged my lower back softly before his side brushed against my side in a loving way. I looked back at him and he gave me a soft playful bark before rubbing his face with mine. When he nibbled on my ears though that was when he went too far. I snapped at him and pushed his shoulder away telling him quietly I still needed to talk with him about us. He agreed then moved to Abe where he bumped his shoulder against Abe’s. Abe looked at me confused then back at Aaron when he bumped back. Aaron gave him a harder bump then Abe got the message and leaped in the air pushing Aaron over. Trevor left us to find Sam and Caleb as Aaron and Abe rolled around playfully nipping and kicking each other off and on as they rolled around in the grass. Eve came up to me and sat by my side bumping my own shoulder. In her eyes I could see her telling me ‘he’s not all that bad’ and I gave her the ‘I’m still working on him’ look. Looking back at the two boys little Abe had Aaron’s neck in his jaws as he stood above his Alpha who played defeated at his feet. I laughed wondering over to them and licked Abe’s face as a ‘good job’ and he gave me a grin before climbing off Aaron. When he didn’t move I was confused and nudged him. When he still didn’t move I got worried and whimpered as I traced him muzzle with mine. That’s when Aaron bolted up from his game and pushed me onto my back playfully as he buried his nose deep in my fur. I rolled my eyes then pushed him to get off but Aaron was too strong for me. I rubbed his chest with my nose before taking a small warning bite in his fur, he got off moments later. Sam came over and bumped my shoulders playfully when Aaron snapped at him in a ‘leave her alone’ snap. I snarled telling him ‘I’m not a toy’ before bumping Sam back then getting up, circled Aaron once in a teasing way before joining Sam and Caleb. Caleb who was still bloody from eating gave me a smile as he got up from the scraps of deer left. I walked over to him as he got up to sit when I started to lick his muzzle. Sam came over and rubbed is face against my shoulder as I licked Caleb lightly until his tongue flickered against mine and I knew he was enjoying this too much. Going back to Sam I licked his jaw and he licked mine before Caleb rubbed against me. I heard Aaron’s pissed off snarl before Caleb and Sam looked at me then Aaron. I sighed then snorted at Aaron meaning they weren’t doing anything to me but he came over and snarled at Sam and Caleb telling them to back off. I nipped at Aaron’s chest again telling him to stop controlling my life as Caleb and Sam left me to join the rest of our family as they ran around the trees. I looked back Aaron with a nasty snarl when he glared at me before nodding off to where Sam and Caleb ran off to. I rolled my eyes then started to walk away when Aaron barked at me to tell me to get back. I ignored him and continued to walk away slowly until Aaron growled at me. Then he did something I wouldn’t think he would do, Aaron leaped at me pushing me to the ground to catch my attention. I lay under him as his paws dug into my chest keeping me on my back with Aaron growling a low growl in his throat. Dazed I held Aaron’s gaze for a long time when a whimper escaped my lips. Aaron’s lips curled back over his teeth when he heard my whimper and his paws got off my chest to rest by my waist. I could see the pain in his eyes before his cheek pressed against mine but I pulled away then crawled from under him. I felt a pain on my chest from Aaron’s paws as I walked away back to my clothes and started to change back to my human self. I was almost dressed when Aaron held my upper arms in his hands. “Rose,” he said softly holding me closely to his bare upper body. I winched when my chest hit his, a bruise was already forming on my skin from his large paws. “Go away,” I muttered falling further into his body and he sighed relieved. “Do you want to talk? I want to know what I have to change,”
“Not tonight Aaron, can’t I just go to bed?” I complained into his chest but he gave me a squeeze. “Come on, wolf girl. Let’s get you back inside.” Aaron said letting me go slightly to pulling my shirt over my head then pulled his from his shorts and yanked it over too. “Aaron,” I complained but he linked his hand in mine then started pulling me back to the house. “No, I want to talk. You can sleep later.” He teased me and I sighed but let Aaron pull me along. I took my hand back when we got to the house and I walked quickly up the stairs to my room where I went to my bathroom and looked at my chest when I saw Aaron’s paws on my skin. I sighed and touched them softly before going back to my room where I lay on the bed with my hand over my eyes. I sighed sinking back into the covers then felt the bed dip further when Aaron lay beside me. “Talk to me,” Aaron said touching my upper arm softly and I sighed again. “Sleeping Aaron, go away.”
“No, not yet,” he complained rolling closer to me, I could feel his breath on my arm. “Talk to me,”
“Aaron,”
“Please, just talk. I just want to know what I’m doing wrong.”
“You jumped on me Aaron, you left bruises.” I said flatly looking at him from under my hand before moving my hand to look at him fully. Aaron twirled his piercing in his fingertips. “Okay, keep going.” Aaron urged me to continue so I did. “You snapped at the kids when I let them in, you assumed I’m too stuck up to let my family in, you were on my case for helping them and had a spaze at Sam and Caleb for just being there for me. I wasn’t doing anything with them, Aaron. I was just being myself with them. You need to calm down and let me take control. You said yourself, Aaron. I’m Alpha too, I can do things. I’m not a pretty face, I can think for myself and would like it if you would stand behind me on these things.”
“Okay, now we’re getting somewhere. Keep going, tell me more.”
“Aaron,”
“Please,”
“Okay, I think you’re trying to hard to get with me, I will come when I am ready to. I’m only seventeen Aaron, I’m not used to this yet. I think what we really need to do is grow up.”
“Grow up?”
“You know, stop getting jealous, annoyed, angry, start trying to work. Maybe just as friends first then work our way to it. Not pressuring each other into doing things. I don’t know, I’m just tired.”
“Come here,” he murmured before wrapping his arm around me then pulled my body to his. “Aaron,” I complained but he just smirked before lifting himself onto his elbows beside me. “I want to grow up for you but I’d like something in return Rose,” he told me and I felt my nerves picking up. “What is that?” I asked getting a bad and sexual idea. “Let me in.”
“I’m not having sex with you, Aaron.”
“I know but I meant letting me in as in dealing with me. I want to try with you, I want to help you, I want to get close to you, I want to be the one you trust, the one you can depend on, the one you can say ‘yeah, Aaron’s my guy’. I want to make you proud, Rose. I know you keep on telling me I will never be like him but I want to try.”
I gazed up at Aaron before lifting my hand to caress his jaw when he touched my hand with his. He leaned over and pressed a kiss to my forehead before running his fingertips through my hair softly. “Do I have to go to the university tonight?” he asked as he inhaled smelling my hair in his fingertips before letting it drop gazing back at me with very seductive eyes. “Aaron,” I complained till he brushed his lips on mine quickly. “Can we try? If anything I can crawl on the floor and sleep there if I piss you off too much,” he told me and I laughed making him smile. “I’m taking that as a yes.” he told me before shifting his weight to pull off his shirt then his shorts to he was sleeping next to me in his boxers. “You’re not sleeping in that are you?” he asked me when he lay back down beside me. I rolled my eyes before getting off the bed and wondering over to my dresser when I found a nightgown and threw it on quickly. “Happy?” I asked him when I came back to the bed and he gave me a loving smile as I crawled over him to get back on my side by the wall. He wrapped his arm around my waist holding my back to his chest as he buried his face in my hair and neck. “Now I’m happy,” he told me and I laughed again. “Rose,” he whispered quietly and I shifted slightly to roll over into him. “Hmm?”
“I’m going to make you proud. I promise.”
I smirked then kissed his lips. “We’ll try,”
He kissed me again letting his body wrap around mine before letting his lips go to let me sleep. I eased into his chest, tucking my head under his breathing in his cologne. I felt good for once with Aaron. I hope this lasts.

I thougth that would be cool to write.[:
And OMG! i just love Aaron lol how you describe and how he acts.

Chapter 8

"What the hell?" I stepped back. Lacey? Don't touch me! I growled. H...How long have you been a Vv...Vampire he said finishing my sentence. Iv'e been a vampire he glanced at me, for almost fifty years. "Oh my god." You've been alive for fifty years? Why the heck are you in Pennsylvania? Well that wasn't the reaction i was going for. Whad you expect did you think i would've jumped all over you and exsposed my neck and yelled for you change me into a vampire. Don't you remember im not like every other girl out there you should know i would'nt have reacted like that. Oh shit...This was the starbucks all over again. Look, im shocked but i should'nt have said that i'm sorry. Maybe it was a mistake to tell you. Well it's to late know i suspected you where one since well last night, when Jeremiah left i saw your.. "fangs "exsposed i said not looking at him when i said it. "Ah, this i knew what he was doing but i didn't look. I see, i'm not Jeremiah so im a bad guy. He regretted that as soon as he said that. I looked at him angry his fangs where still exsposed they where hanging down his bottom lip he was blushing.."I can't believe you just said that." It's true though if it where jeremiah right here you would've jumped all over him i saw you two last night. "JORDAN!" i yelled my voice echoing the gym, i stood still stop it i whispered. I wasn't all over him i didn't move one inch last night he was the one that was all over me and he didn't hurt me, he would never touch me alive or undead. I glared, i grabbed my stuff and pushed past the door walking towards my car not caring about the rest of my classes i would ditch.I pulled out of the parking lot and drove off, something jumped on top of my car i swerved, and pushed on the brakes what the heck? A figure jumped off my car Jordan? Oh my His hands where in the air like he was inisnt. I kicked my door open. "What the hell was that! you made me crash into a tree! I don't know what has gotten into me i can pay for that. Screw the car what's wrong? Your acting so strange last night, the gym telling me that and now. I dropped to the floor and grabbed my head i felt like i was going insane i didn't know what was real or fake anymore everyone around me was undead was i the only one alive in this suckish world? "No your not?" WHat? Your not alone, lacey Jordan sat beside me and put a arm over me i leaned into him believe there is plenty of people alive out there. How'd you know what i was thinking? Let me guess you read minds? His head fell back laughing he was crying, No i wish your pretty easy to read when you let people see how your feeling lacey. We were so close his fangs where now gone his lips where beautiful i had never really looked at them they where bloody red like he had just finished eating. I swallowed. He noticed i was looking at his lips. "You like?"

I punched him in the shoulder "Shut up" I noticed your lips where bloody did you just feed? Don't worry Lacey i don't eat humans i eat animals iv'e never killed a human it disgusts me seeing other vampires kill humans taking the life out of human. wwait others? There's more of you? Of course there's hundreds of us where everywhere in the world we just hid and blend in with the rest of the people in the world even though we want to kill you all. Just kidding lacey God take a joke. Sorry i don't take vampire jokes i mumbled. Since there are alot of vampires around here you must have seen! No i havn't seen Jeremiah he doesn't live around here i sniffed around every possible area of Pennsylvania and he isn't here that's why i was shocked when i saw him the other night becuase i hadn't smelt him at all. I knew once i did i would have to protect you. I have an idea of where he is though. Where! Ohio. I'm pretty sure he lives there and stakes out here watching you once in awhile i followed him after you left i smelt him he had a possy with him a mix of men and women like they where preparing for a war. I saw one of the women get...I stopped talking. What Jordan what was a women doing? I grabbed his face and made him look at me "Tell me i demanded." SHe was all over him i left before i saw anything she was about to kiss him when i left he whispered. But im not sure i left to soon. I heard a grunt though. Tears came to my eyes, was he cheating on me? Had he found someone better than me maybe he was just tricking me the other night and was just going to kill me and is using me to get to something. Don't cry. Jordan pulled me closer i was almost sitting on his lap. I'm going to kill me i held my chin so i was facing him. Lac..I am not becuase if he's messing with other women that's his problem we where over him i'm going to kill him for me i can't go in living knowing that his going to kill me i have to do this with or without you. I would never leave you of course i'm in this with you. We starred at each other what felt like forever. I didn't realize how close i was to him his lips where still bright red i didn't move away i leaned in further and kissed him, he was schocked but didn't pull away he kissed me back grabbing my hair and making nots he was on top of me. I pulled away, Oh my gosh. I'm sorry he said i didn't mean to kiss you back i was caught up in the moment. I have to go, But lacey, Don't follow me i need to think i got back in my car and drove off even though my bumper was about to come off. I looked in the rear mirror Jordan was still laying there hurt on his face he was looking at me in the mirror feeling rejected, embarrsed. His eyes where still looking at me they where changing colors i turned away from the mirror my face was bright red and my heart was beating so hard it could've flew right out of my chest. No this can't be happening i couldn't be starting to have feelings for Jordan not after all these years, Or could i?

I don't know who i like better there's like three guys to choose from i'm defintelly still for Jeremiah but There's something about Jordan.

Haha, I know we will just have to see who Lacey will end up with. [:

I really like Jordan but it's true, all the guys are pretty cool. I can't wait to find out who Lacey ends up with!

And thanks about Aaron, it took a while to figure out how I wanted him to look and act but I think he ended up right.

Chapter Six:
I woke up the next morning with the suns rays shining on my face. My body felt all warm and soft when I opened my eyes to find myself alone. Confused I pushed my upper body up and looked around the room but couldn’t find any sign of Aaron until I saw the note on my beside table. Picking it up I could smell his cologne which made me smile. Opening it I read Aaron’s terrible hand writing.

Morning, wolf girl.
Sorry to steal a portion of your bed then just leave but I had to get a few assignments in. I’ll be off for the summer break in a few days and then we can actually be Alphas together. I want to say thank you for trusting me enough to let me in last night. I know you don’t particularly care for me and that it probably was a lot to ask considering how much of a jerk I was but I do mean it. Thank you, Rose.
Forever yours,
Aaron
I smiled again then placed it back on my beside table. I lay back into the bedding letting the sun touch my face before I heard everyone talking downstairs. I rolled my eyes at my family’s loudness before getting up and went to my bathroom to shower, get dressed then head downstairs to the kitchen where I found another muffin and coffee. “First run, how was that?” I heard Eve asked behind me before I turned around and she gasped when he saw me. “What?” I asked and she motioned to my chest. I looked down and saw the bruising. “Oh… that.”
“What happened, honey?” Eve asked me holding my upper arms in her hands. “Nothing, Eve. I’m fine.”
“Who’s are they?”
“Eve, it’s okay. I’m fine.”
“Rose, I’m asking as your mother. Who’s are they?”
I hesitated for a moment then took Eve’s hands off my shoulders and started to finger Derek’s necklace around my neck. “Aaron’s,”
“Why? What happened?”
“Nothing, it’s okay. We talked and dealt with it.”
“Is that why he left this morning? He didn’t go home last night.”
“No, he left this morning to hand in some work but yes, he stayed.”
“And you’re okay with that?”
“I think so,”
Eve gave me a faint nod before refilling her coffee cup. “Did I get you in trouble last night?” I heard Sam ask me from behind. Eve looked over at us as I turned around to face Sam who eyed my bruising. “No,”
“You’re lying.”
“Well it got better later on.”
Sam sighed then ran his hands over his face and looked back at me. “I didn’t mean to.”
“I know,”
He leaned over and kissed my forehead before Eve coughed then left telling me I shouldn’t do this to Aaron even after what he did. “Sorry,” I murmured pulling away from Sam’s lips. He watched me then shook his head. “You’ve changed.”
“No.”
“Yes, you have. Last night you were like you normally are but now,” he said then motioned to my chest. “He’s hurting you isn’t he?”
“Aaron’s not abusing me Sam. It was just a misunderstanding.”
“He left your bruised Rose. Yes, that’s abuse.”
“Leave it be Sam, I’m fine.”
“Well clearly you’re not if you’re letting him push you over like this.” He muttered when I started to walk away. Spinning around I glared at him. “Sam, I asked you as a friend to stop but now as your Alpha I am demanding you do so.”
He held my glare before shaking his head again. “You’ve changed. Don’t deny it, Rose. You’re changed.”
“I had to grow up Sam,” I murmured and he ran his hand through his hair with a sigh. “So now you’re a grown up?”
“Well no, but I do have to grow up.”
“I can’t believe you Rose. You’re being something your not. A fraud.”
“I am not a fraud.” I snapped back and he held my gaze. “So what are you then? Are you Rose? Or Alpha?”
“Sam,” I growled and he shook his head once more. “You know, people say you’re like him but I don’t see it. Derek was still Derek when he was Alpha. You’re just… stone.” Sam said and I lost it. “Sam how dare you?!” I shouted at him before turning on my heel and storming out on him. I headed outside to my car where I got inside and turned it on. It complained about the use but I put it in reverse and drove away. Tears rolled down my face as I drove away, the ache in my chest was hurting me so much I could barely breathe. I continued to drive to my once home that was still burned down. I parked in the old driveway and turned the car off before whipping my face with the back of my hand and got out. Sniffing I could still smell the scent of burning wood as I looked back at our house, charred to a crisp. I could see some things, a bed, dresser, mirror, a window sill, a bookshelf, a few shoes, some pots and pans, a couple of Abe’s and Trevor’s toys, some of Aaron’s clothes, and Lily’s pendant. It was only blackened and when I picked it up I rubbed the darkness away with my thumbs revealing the oval silver pendant. I opened it and saw a picture of Sam as a baby then the latest photo of him before the fire when he was sixteen. I walked through the old structure of the house, minding the broken and burnt things as I did. I came to Derek’s old library where I used to sit on his knee and he would read my stories by the fire. Tears came back from the memory of the nights we would spend together before Eve put me to bed with me still holding Derek’s necklace in my hands. I loved him. I loved my father so much. I touched the top of the burned down desk and opened one of its drawers to find his old fountain pen and ink well untouched by the fire. I picked it up before tucking it carefully in the pocket of my shirt I was wearing and continuing through the house. I found Aaron’s mother Julia’s perfume bottle with a small amount of it still inside, Kristina’s old reading glasses, Violet’s sewing thimble and needle, Trevor’s father Nathan’s pocket watch, my grandmother Selena’s pair of pearl earrings still in their case, my aunt Elena’s old photograph with her and Tim before they had Caleb, then Katrina’s ring she wore when Abe was born. Eve’s parents Justine and David were the first to burn and I couldn’t find anything of theirs in the fire. Walking back outside the burnt house I went to their graves we made after the fire was put out. Crosses marked their places as flowers and grass grew over their dead bodies. I found Derek’s cross right away because it had my mother’s necklace he had given her on their first anniversary still dangling on the arm. I touched the necklace before sitting down by his mark and wept. My body shook as my tears fell on the soil my father lies under, I never did get to see his body when we found him. Eve told me it was too horrible for me to see with my young eyes. And I believed her. I cried for a long time, just letting it out when the breeze changed to be warmer. I sighed and whipped my tears away again before saying “I can’t do this, dad. I can’t do this. I’m not you, I know I’m not but I’m not stone either.” I whispered between my sobs. “I want you here, I want you to help me. I’m only seventeen, I should be dealing with boys and love not family problems and fights. I’m not cut out to be Alpha, dad. I’m not ready. Everyone thinks I’m so much like you but Sam is right. Being Alpha isn’t who I am, it’s not the real Rose. The real Rose is the little girl you used to read to every night, go hunting with, tell me stories, play with me. I’m too young and afraid.
“I’m afraid of messing up, I’m afraid of doing the wrong thing, I’m afraid that they won’t listen to me, I’m afraid of getting them hurt. I’m not Alpha. You are and always will be. I keep reminding myself that you’re not here anymore, that every morning when I wake up you won’t be in the kitchen making breakfast or reading your paper, I keep on having to remind myself you’re gone and I’m the one who has to own up now.
“But I can’t. I just can’t do it. I don’t know how or why anymore. I just want to make it all go away. I wish I could go back in time, I wish I could have stopped the fire, I wish you were still here, I wish we never had to fight, I wish I’d never be Alpha.” I ranted then realized no one was going to hear me. No one was going to stop me from being Alpha, no one was going to change the night of the fire, no one was going to change my being, I was the one who had to change. Sniffing I ran my hands over my face before getting up and started walking back to the car. When I got home I placed the objects of our loved ones on the kitchen table and as the day went by I found them lessening and lessening till everyone had something of their loves. Even Sam took his mother’s pendant and I caught him sitting on the stairs outside fingering the charm with tears in his eyes. I came outside and sat beside him wrapping my arms around his shoulders when he leaned his cheek against my shoulder. I calmed him as he broke down, reminding him that under this Alpha wolf there was still the little girl named Rosalyn.

Lol will see. (: and no problem can't wait till the next chapter!

Chapter 9

textMy parents weren't home as usual they where probally out getting drunk i rolled my eyes. I glanced at the clock it was ten thirty it was pitch dark outside same as always. My phone beeped in my pocket, i nerviousoly went to reach it alreading knowing who it was from ~ I'm sorry about the kiss, i won't bother you ill just see y ou at school tomorow.~ I sighed what have i gotten myself into i put my phone back into my pocket i decided i wasn't hungry anymore and decided to go to bed. I kicked my shoes off and plopped on my bed. I instantly fell asleep not moving. -Crash- my eyes darted up i looked at the clock it was three thirty a.m i heard something fall my parents probally had just gotten home from the bar. I rubbed my eyes getting off from my bed i glanced in my parents room and they where sound asleep, panic started to come through me i saw a shadow below the stairs i moved back up against the wall as far as i could all the lights were off the figure wouldn't see me. It climbed up the steps so silently i almost had to move by the stairs just to notice it. I was going to do the most stupidest thing ever and jump the person. I noticed it stopped the figure was tall maybe a few inches taller than me it didn't move it's like it knew i was there the figure turned and faced me directly, i wasn't visible i wasn't breathing loudly at least i thought i wasn't. I couldn't make out the face i stood very still. The figure moved closer closing in the space between us. "Lacey?" is that you are you up? The light switch turned on in the hall and there was nothing there whatever had been there vanished in a instant. Lacey? my mom said. Relief passed through me whatever it was didn't harm me it just stood there. I ran to my mom and hugge her she just stood there, I love you mom. She hugged me back i love you too sweetie are you okay? Even though my parents where alcholics they weren't that bad. Yes. im fine know i just thought i saw something but i must of been imagining it. She put my hair behind my ear. I'm glad your okay, it's late you should get some rest. okay Goodnight. Night mom. Steal feeling alittle shaky i went back to bed but didn't fall asleep.

"Lacey!" i turned to see Jordan stading in front of me in the hallway as kids where passing by. Hi Jordan. Look about Yesterday..Forget about it it didn't mean anything it's like it never happened. I smiled. I could tell that was not the response he was looking for but i wouldn't ever admit i had felt for one second something for him i didn't want to ruin our friendship...and Jer i stopped myself from saying his name.

I closed my locker, i have to go to class. But ill talk to you later i left without saying a goodbye hoping he got the message. The gym was empty when i arrived, i must of have been early normally sheadon was always here. I layed my stuff down. And started to stretch preparing for what was instore today. I heard some voices in the hallway i went by the door and put my ear to the wall to listen. She's stubborn!, what am i suppost to do. Quiet down she can probally here you. I could here the other person sigh which i reconized the voice has sheadon. And the other as a female but not sure whom, If you can't do it then i will. No give me another chance i will! Well hurry you don't have much time. Okay he said. I bolted from the wall and back to where i was continuing to stretch. A few moments later Sheadon arrived looking upset, When he layed his eyes on me i could tell he was suprised. Your here early. Yeah i mumbled. We have alot to do today, something in the way he said that made me feel uneasy there was something wierd about Sheadon and i was going to find out what it was no matter what it took.

I love the mystery night visitor, trying to figure out if it's someone you have introduced or if it's a new person. Can't wait to find out!

Chapter Seven:
I was late for dinner again but what else was knew? I was upstairs having a shower when Caleb called me down but I didn’t hear him until he barged in on me grabbing a towel. So I dried off and got dressed before heading down the stairs to the kitchen where I found everyone sitting down. Eve was still placing food on the table when I came downstairs and I helped grab some things and place them down too. She gave me a motherly grin before heading to her usual spot but hesitated remembering I was now Alpha. But when I sat down beside Sam in my usual spot she knew I wasn’t planning on sitting there yet. Aaron sat in Derek’s spot at the other end of the table with me rightfully taking his spot as Alpha but he rolled his eyes at me when I sat down. Aaron was handed the chicken first then he helped himself before handing it down to me but I just gave it to Sam. I got weird looks as I passed down the food not taking anything and I sighed breaking the silence. “Just because I’m Alpha doesn’t make me better then you all.”
From the corner of my eye I saw Sam smile and Caleb roll his eyes at me. The talking was put up again as the plates were passed around then back to me without much on them but I made the most of what I got. As I ate I picked up conversations about going fishing some time with week and about Sam and Caleb getting jobs somewhere. Aaron’s name was brought up by Izzy with the university talk about Caleb and my name was mentioned about what I was going to do when I get there too. Abe and Trevor were talking about a video game that comes out in a few days while Sam and Caleb argued over the game they saw on TV last night. Aaron wasn’t talking but listened like I was. “It’s a full moon tomorrow,” I pointed out quietly to him. Aaron smirked before looking back up at me. “Yes, it is.”
“What are you doing for your birthday?”
He held my gaze before losing his smirk. “Nothing. Please don’t do anything Rose. I rather not go through that.”
“Come on Aaron. Everyone celebrates,”
He reached out and touched my hand softly. “Please,” he begged and I sighed before nodding yes. “Alright.” I agreed shifting my hand to squeeze his once. “Does that include me?” I asked him and he sighed before talking his hand back and giving me a look. “Yes,”
“Well too bad Aaron.”
“Rose,”
“I think you’ll like it.”
“I’m begging you here, Rose. Please don’t.”
I sighed than ran my hand through my hair lazily. “Fine, I won’t tomorrow.”
“Thank you,”
“But I said nothing about tonight,” I teased and he moaned clasping his hands over his face making me smile. Aaron got a few looks from the family making me laugh. “Come on, Aaron. Grow up, you won’t die.”
“Says who?”
“Me,”
“What are you two arguing over now?” I heard Sam ask me and I smiled at him. “Aaron’s just being a fool.”
“I’m not a fool, Rose.” Aaron said giving me a smirk as he shook his head at me. “I’m going to leave you two to that,” Sam said awkwardly before getting up and putting his dishes away. Aaron looked up to watch our family starting to clean up around us. “That was fast,” he admitted and I rolled my eyes. “You barely talked, yeah it was fast.”
“Well if I heard correct neither did you.” He pointed out getting up to help with the cleaning. I rolled my eyes at him again and he laughed. “You do that a lot you know,”
“You deserve it Aaron.”
“Do not,”
“Like an old married couple.” Tim muttered handing me a plate and I flashed him a smile before putting it in the dishwasher. “Are not.” I argued back and he shook his head before wondering out of the kitchen. “Are we?” I asked Aaron and he shrugged his shoulders. “Don’t know. There’s not really a old married couple to compare ourselves to around here.”
“True,”
Aaron was about to leave when I caught his hand. “No, not yet. You’re coming with me, Aaron.” I said and he moaned again. “Rosalyn, why?”
“Because it won’t kill you.” I told him tugging his hand alone leading him back upstairs to my room where I kept his gift. “It’s in your room?”
“Yep,”
“I haven’t noticed anything up there new when I’m there,”
“Because you don’t look in my drawers, Aaron,” I told him opening the door to the stairwell. “Says who?” he asked me as we climbed the stairs. “You pervert!” I said glaring at him but he laughed and squeezed my hand. “I haven’t gone through your things Rose,”
“You better not have.” I warned him before pushing my door open and sitting him down on the bed. Aaron sighed looking up at me. “Rose,”
I smiled and kissed his forehead. “Calm down, nothing will hurt you.” I told him moving to my dresser and opening the bottom drawer where I pulled out his gifts. One was large, rectangular and wrapped in green while the other was smaller box shaped just in the black box it came in. “Aw Rose,” Aaron complained when I came over and sat down beside him handing him the larger on first. “Shut up Aaron and open it.”
He gave me a smirk before carefully tearing the paper off to reveal the human anatomy text he has been looking for when he starts school back again in a few weeks. “Rose, you shouldn’t have.” He told me giving me a hug and kissing the top of my head. “Wait, there’s one more.” I told him pressing the box into his palm. “Oh Jeeze,” he murmured looking at the box then at me. “Go on, it won’t bite.”
Smirking again Aaron opened it to show the silver lip ring with sapphire blue ball I had found. “Thank you, Rose. This is really sweet.” He said grinning as he hugged me again. “Put it on,” I urged and he smiled before getting up and heading to the bathroom mirror. I followed sitting on the toilet as Aaron moved the bead from inside him mouth to twist it off and slowly pull the ring off. “Whoa, that feels weird.” He murmured as he flicked his tongue on the now empty hole. I rolled my eyes. “You’re a tool, Aaron.”
“Well it does feel weird.” He said looking back at me before opening the second ring and sliding it threw. I watched as he spun the ball on then moved it so it was touching the dip of his chin on the outside for once. He smiled. “Thank you,”
“Happy almost birthday,”
Aaron put the old ring in the box before he touched the new then looked back at me. “Why blue?”
“It matches your eyes,”
“Does it?” he asked leaning over the sink to look at his eyes. “Huh, I never noticed.”
“How can you not? They’re sapphire blue.”
“I don’t pay much attention.”
I rolled my eyes and he said “There you go again,” making me smile. “Yep,”
“It’s okay though, I like a girl with a attitude.”
“Aaron!”
He smiled then leaned over to kiss me. The lip ring and ball were cool against my lips as Aaron kissed me but as soon as he was there he was gone. On the way out of the bathroom Aaron paused by the door frame and turned his head to look back at me. “You know I tease because I love you Rose.” He told me in a serious way before continuing to leave. I heard the book being moved onto my dresser with the box before Aaron closed the bedroom door on his way out.
Love?
I thought still sitting on the toilet seat.
He loves me? Aaron? My Aaron? In love with me?
His words were playing over and over in my head, his voice, his eyes, his expression of seriousness, his kiss. ‘You know I tease because I love you Rose.’

By the next evening we were running around and chasing deer as we hunted as a pack. Aaron started to actually be a person and stepped down from the kill to let Sam and Caleb do it. Together we sat by the tree watching our family dine on the few deer we found. He looked over with a smirk then rubbed his muzzle against mine before licking my cheek. I wriggled under his front paw to be under his chest resting my cheek against his soft black fur feeling his heart beating. Aaron dipped his head to rest it on my shoulder as he stood behind me with most of my body under his, his breath was in my ear and I felt happy. I started to understand Aaron better now that we are both Alphas, I don’t hate him or think less of him now but am able to work with him. Sure sometimes be bicker over things but most of the time we’re okay. I wouldn’t say I was totally committed to him and will act like a wife but I think right now were just friends turning into a couple over time. Or at least that’s how I feel with him. Eve came over and rubbed her muzzle against mine then Aaron’s before her, Tim, Izzy and Victor started to head further into the tress leaving the Five and myself with the bodies. Aaron pushed me forwards letting me eat first before sitting by the deer and watching over Abe who ran around like a spaze. I laughed before dipping my head unto the blood remains and nipped at some meat by the ribs Eve always seems to save for me. It was a calm moment until I heard the shot. A gun shot. My head jerked up to where the sound came from, the trees. I looked back at Aaron who looked back at me, then the trees, the kids, then back at me. I gave him a worried look and he gave me a nod before I tore off to the direction of the sound leaving him to gather everyone. I could hear Aaron’s howl telling everyone to get back as I listened to their paws running on the dirt as I ran towards the sound. Carefully I reached the brush where I hid inside and peeked out. I found a body lying on the grass, a paled foot was sticking out from where I could see. I waited a few moments before sticking my head out more to find out the body wasn’t just a body. It was Victor. He lay there on his back in human form clutching his chest from where the bullet hit him, the blood seeping through the wounds. Frantically I called out to Aaron before running to his side. I didn’t notice I had changed until my human hands pressed against his trying to stop the blood flow. “Victor, stay with me.” I told him as his eyes searched mine in pain. “No, don’t go. Fight with me. You’re going to be okay.” I told him pressing harder against his chest but the blood kept on coming. “…Rose,” he whispered, gargling from the blood in this throat. Tears started to roll down my eyes. “No, you’re going to live.” I demanded holding his dazed eyes. “You’re going to be okay Vic,”
“…Rosalyn… stop,”
“No! You’re not going to die on me!”
“…Please…” he begged but I shook my head no. “You’re not dying!”
“…My dear…” he started to say but his jaw started to turn then his head rolled to the side unnaturally. “No,” I gasped looking at him as he lay there dead. “No!” Frantically I tried to find a pulse as I shook from the fear until hands pulled me away. “No! I’m not leaving him!” I argued over trying to get out of their grasp but they pulled me away. “Stop it! I’m not leaving him!” I shouted feeling my tears fall as I was pulled away from my grandfather. “Rose,” Caleb said turning me around so I was facing him. “Stop arguing. He’s gone.” He said shaking my upper arms to bring me back to the reality of the situation. “No he’s not! We can still help him!”
“Rose enough!” Caleb shouted at me for the first time ever. I went quiet until my sob broke the silence. Leaning into him Caleb held me closely as I cried, he was slowly rocking me back and forth like a small child to sooth me. “Shh, it’s going to be okay, baby.” he murmured into my hair as I clung onto his shoulders with my bloody hands. “Come on, lets get you inside.” Caleb suggested but I shook my head no. “I’m not going without him.”
“We’re bringing him back too Rose, Tim and Aaron are going so as we speak. Come on, lets going inside and get you cleaned up.” He told me again and I nodded faintly before sniffing and letting him go slightly. We went back to the house and headed upstairs to my room when Caleb started a shower for me to wash off all the blood on my hands, arms and now chest. I stood under the water still crying as the blood dripped off my body with the water. When the water started to get cold I knew I had to get out so I did and dried off before Caleb put me in a nightgown. He was now dressed in a pair of jeans like he just ran quickly to his room and picked up the first pair of pants he found before coming back to me. I whipped my eyes before looking back at him. “Where is he?”
“In the yard.”
“And everyone?”
“In their rooms besides Aaron and Tim.”
“Oh god,” I gasped feeling this terrible feeling in the pit of my stomach. Caleb held my upper arms to keep me balanced. “You need to lie down,” he told me bringing me to my bed and putting me down. I curled up in a little ball with Aaron’s pillow he uses when he’s with me. His cologne seemed to smooth me with I inhaled the scent before exhaling in a sigh and sinking further into the bedding. “Thank you,” I whispered and he gave me a faint smirk before kissing my forehead. “Sleep Rose, put this behind you and rest.”
“Could I be alone?” I asked him and he nodded before getting up and slowly leaving my room. When he was gone I took a deep breath then dried my eyes again before getting up from my bed and threw on a pair of jeans quickly under my short dress. Carefully I snuck out of my room’s window and climbed down the roof until I was back on the ground. It was pitch black but I could see a couple of lights ahead and two people moving. The sound of shovels moving dirt filled the night alone with a few sniffs here and there. I followed the light until the two people stopped. “We’re not leaving him here are we?” I heard Tim ask in a whisper. “No, this is just for tonight. Tomorrow we can burry him with the others at the old house,” Aaron’s voice told him. “Okay,”
“Tim?”
“Hmm?”
“Go, get some rest. I can finish.”
“Thank you.” Tim said before I heard him drop his shovel and leave. I think he walked right past me but it was too dark to tell. I waited a moment before I heard the sound of the house front door closing then Aaron sighing. He continued to dig until I walked up to the light and found him. He was dressed quickly like Caleb in jeans as he dug the hole, his upper body glistening with a light layer of sweat from the digging, his eyes looked disturbed but were focused at the same time. The hole by his feet was almost done and by the other lamp laid Victor. I touched Aaron’s shoulder from behind him and his body tensed a second before relaxing to my touch. “I’m almost finished,” he told me over his shoulder before turning around to look at me. I wrapped my arms around him holding him closely in my arms. My hands were up his back feeling his damp shoulder blades as my head rested on his equally damp chest. Aaron dropped the shovel and hugged me back pulling me closer to him. We embraced like this for a long time until I whispered “I wasn’t fast enough,”
“Rose,”
“I mean it. If I had just taken off and found him he would still be here.”
“Rose, you were making sure your family was safe. No one knew the shot was for him. You acted the right way.”
“But he’s dead Aaron!”
Aaron cupped my face in his hands making me look up at him. “Rose, stop beating yourself up for it. You didn’t know, I didn’t know, hell, I don’t even think Victor knew what was going on. It’s going to be okay.”
“How can it be okay? Victor lost his life!”
“Who says he lost his life?” he asked me and I stepped away from his hold. “Don’t say that to cheer me up Aaron. That’s just mean.”
“No I mean it, who says he lost his life? Sure he’s not with us right now but think about the rest of our family. He’s back with them, back with Selena and Derek, Kristina, Julia, Violet, Nathan, Elena, Lily, Katrina. He’s back there living in the afterlife.” He explained then reached out to touch my arm. “I didn’t what it to sound mean Rose,”
I held his gaze before sighing. “Do you really think he’s okay?”
“He’s back with your dad, yeah, he’s going to be okay. Derek is probably taking good care of him.”
I nodded understandingly before looking back at Victor’s body not too far from us. “Can we finish up? I need to sit down.” I asked him and he leaned over to press a kiss against my cheek. “Go inside I’ll be right there.”
“No, I’m staying with you. Let me help,”
“Rose,”
“Please,”
“If I put him in will you get the board and the wheel barrow?”
“Why wheel barrow?”
“To weigh it down,”
“Okay,”
We worked silently through the night moving Victor’s body into the hole over some tarps before placing the board over the grave. I rolled the wheel barrow over the wood then Aaron and I started to fill the wheel barrow with the dirt he and Tim dug up only moments before. I could feel the blusters from the handle of the shovel start to form as I shoved but I didn’t let the pain bother me too much. Whipping the sweat off my brow when we finished I looked back at Aaron as I dropped the shovel by the grave. Without speaking we both knew we just wanted to go inside. Walking together we headed back inside locking the door behind us then crawled upstairs to my room. Aaron collapsed on his back on the bed when we got there. I went to the window opening it to let in the summer warm night air into the dark room. I could hear him breathe behind me, his breath was slow like a sigh but not quite. “Muscles sore?”
“A bit but I can sleep it off. I ran harder then normal when I heard your cry then carried him and shovelled.”
“Here,” I said before walking over and touching his chest. “Roll over.”
“Okay,” Aaron hesitated then did so. I rubbed my thumbs along his shoulder blades and lower back trying to help with the tension. “Where does it feel the worst?” I asked quietly and Aaron laughed quietly. “You’re going to make fun of me,”
“Am not Aaron, I mean it.”
“My arms a sore if you must know,”
“Then roll over again,”
Aaron sighed before he rolled over and I felt his eyes watch me. I shifted slightly to straddle his hips when I leaned over slightly to work his arms. Aaron’s other hand touched my leg softly stroking it almost absently. “How are you?” he asked me after a few minutes when I moved to the other arm, his other hand continued to touch my leg while I worked it. “I’m fine Aaron,” I whispered but his hand touched my lips stopping me from talking. Sitting up slightly Aaron took his hand away whispering “Rose, don’t shut me out. Tell me how to help you.”
“I’m okay,”
“No, don’t do that Rose. Tell me what’s going on with you,” he told me sitting up further and held my hands close to his chest. “Aaron,” I whispered leaning into him when he sighed then lay back down with me lying beside him curled up against his chest. “It’s okay Rose, it’s going to be okay.” He murmured in my hair and I felt my eyes starting to water again. I whipped them not wanting to cry in front of Aaron but he held me closer telling me it was okay. I took a deep breath nodding slowly with the tears falling down my cheeks. Aaron rubbed up and down my back trying to sooth me as I cried, we were like this for a long time until I was cried out and was just clinging to his side. “Feel better?” he asked me softly shifting to look down at me. “Soon,”
“Close your eyes Rose, get some sleep.”
“I can’t sleep,”
“I’ll be here, you’re safe with me.”
“Aaron,” I whispered and he kissed the top of my head. “Sleep,”
“How can I sleep when my grandfather is dead?”
“Rose,”
“No, just stop Aaron.” I told him sitting up and walking over to the window sill looking outside into the night. I felt his hands touch my shoulders before I sighed and ran my hand over my face. “I didn’t mean to snap, I’m just… I don’t think I can handle death well Aaron.”
“Rose, no one can handle death well. No one expects you to. Please, just listen to me about getting some rest. It’s going to be harder tomorrow you know.”
“You’re not helping Aaron,” I muttered and he gave me a faint squeeze before leaning over and kissed my cheek. “Come back to bed Rose, get some sleep.”
“Okay,” I gave in before Aaron let my shoulders go so I could walk back to the bed, tare off my jeans then crawl under the covers. Aaron followed me then lay on his stomach with his arms pushing his chest up as he looked down at me in the Aaron way. I rolled closer to his hands, linking my arm around his as I held his arm close to my chest when Aaron leaned over and kissed my face leaving his lips there for a long time before taking them away. I reached out and fiddled with his lip ring making him smile as I rolled the ball and ring around with the tips of my fingers. Pushing me onto my back Aaron hovered above my body before lowering his mouth to mine kissing me good night. I kissed him back feeling his piercing against my mouth until we pulled away. Aaron kept above me but I felt his body lower onto mine as he rested his head on my chest like he was listening to my heart beat. His hands slid under my shoulders pulling me closer to his ear as mine hesitantly rested one on his shoulder while the other fingered his hair. Aaron smiled before his lips brushed against my skin softly then he sighed. “I’m not crushing you am I?”
“No, I’m actually quite comfortable Aaron,”
He gave me a loving squeeze before I felt his muscles relax as he closed his eyes trying to sleep but he murmured something. “I had planed on telling you something Rosalyn but you may think its terrible timing but I still think you should know.”
“What’s that?” I yawned closing my eyes and letting my hand rest over his head. “I love you,”
Opening my eyes I looked back at Aaron who looked back at me. I smiled then kissed him. “You drive me crazy Aaron, I love you too.”

I love the last part when he told rose he loved her. [:

Chapter 9

-Start jogging i'll catch up behind you.- Without answering i started to jog pushing my legs harder to get speed i had gotten better since the last time i ran wanting to Avoid sheadon ever since the last practice he had been acting really wierd, making me do things twice as hard he always kept looking at me to it made me really uncomfortable he never acted like this before i was starting to think that Jordan should be with me maybe he was right maybe sheadon wasn't such a good teacher. "Everything okay?" i almost stopped jogging when Sheadon stepped into place with me. Um, yeah i guess i mumbled, "What was that?" he asked. Nothing. Lacey? Lacey!

Chapter Eight:
When I woke up the next morning the sun was glaring at me through my open window. I winched and moaned then heard Aaron moan “What’s with the sound effects,” making me smile. Opening my eyes I found him still laying on me the same way as we’d fallen asleep in. “The sun,”
“What about it?” he sighed shifting slightly to roll over onto his back with me on his chest. “It burns,” I hissed and he laughed at me before kissing my cheek. “My little vampire,” he teased and I sighed easing into his body letting mine just melt to his touch. “How long have we been asleep?”
“Since midnight,”
“And it’s?”
“Noon,”
“Do you know about everyone else?”
“They sound quiet, either grieving or still asleep.”
I nodded before carefully getting up to sit on his hips looking down at him. Aaron looked half asleep as he tried to open his eyes further then they were. I touched his cheek with the tips of my fingers before trailing them over to his lips and piercing. “Your hands are soft,” he murmured kissing my fingertips lightly. “Aaron,” I whispered back and he looked up at me knowing what I had to say. “You’re the one sitting on me, wolf girl.” He pointed out and I slowly crawled off him to sit by his legs. He sat up slowly then ran his hand through his hair quickly before looking at my window and glaring at it. “You’re right, it does burn.” He muttered rubbing his eyes then looking back at me. “You’re eyes are still red,”
“Oh.”
“Come here,” he said before shifting closer to cup my face in his hand and brushed my hair away from my face with the other. “You cheeks are stained too,” Aaron sighed when he saw me up close. I shrugged my shoulders. “I’m sad, so what if my face is tearstained?”
“Rosalyn,” he murmured kissing my forehead and I sighed. “I’m going to steel your bathroom shower for a minute before heading downstairs. You don’t mind?” he asked me and I shrugged. “No, not at all.”
Tilting my head up I got a kiss from Aaron before get got off the bed and into my bathroom. I heard the shower running then I got up from the bed and walked over to the dresser where I pulled open the drawer I kept Aaron’s extra things like clothes, a hair brush, deodorant, cologne, a shaving bag, stuff to clean his piercing. I felt like his mother as I pulled out his stuff and opened the bathroom door leaving it there for him then closed it. Coming back into my room I pulled out my own clothes and stuff before heading downstairs to the second bathroom where I showered then disappeared back upstairs to my room to blow dry my hair not to wake anyone. Aaron was still in the bathroom when I got back upstairs and was blow drying my hair when his lips kissed my neck at the nape. I rolled my eyes and turned off my hair dryer then looked back at him. “You look a little better,”
“Still feel terrible,” I admitted and he sighed before touching my cheek softly turning my head to keep looking at me. He leaned over and kissed my other cheek before whispering “I love you,” into my ear making me smile. “I love you too, Aaron.” I heard someone coming up the stairs and when I turned out of Aaron’s hold I found Abe standing in the door way tearstained like I was but was dressed in his pyjamas still. “Hey Abe,” I said softly and he gave me a faint smirk before walking further into my room. “How are you feeling?” I asked getting up and taking his hand to sit him on my bed. “I saw him last night,” he said softly under his breath. I looked back at Aaron who nodded before heading out to my hall listening but not going to be there. “It looked painful,” Abe added looking into space before his eyes met mine. “Was it?”
“Abe,” I said softly reaching out and touching his forearm to comfort him. “Please, tell me.”
“I don’t know Abe. I didn’t get there in enough time and he was going already but I think he’s in a better place now. Aaron told me he’s back with the rest of the family, it’s going to be okay Abe.”
“Then why are you crying?” he asked me holding my gaze. “I’m not,”
“You were.”
“Abe,” I sighed quietly and he shifted slightly to pull something from the pocket of his pyjama pants. “Here,” he told me before taking my right hand and slipped a ring on the forth finger. “It helps I think,” he said after putting it on my finger. When I looked down I found Katrina’s ring on my hand. “Abe,” I said unsure of taking it. “This was your mothers,”
“I know but it made me feel better, maybe it’ll do the same to you.”
I leaned over and kissed his cheek before hugging him tightly. “Thank you Abe,”
He hugged me back just as tightly but didn’t let go. We stayed like this for a couple of minutes before Abe sighed into my shoulder then looked up at me. “Thank you, Rose.”
“Come on, let’s go downstairs.” I told him and he let me go before nodding yes. Getting up Abe and I walked to my door where we met Aaron and started to move down the stairs to the other floor of the house. The doors to the rooms were all shut, small sobs and pleas came from behind them and the terrible feeling came back. Like Aaron sensed my pain his hand touched mine before inclosing it in his large, warm hand trying to comfort me. I gave him a squeeze before catching a slide glance at him then continued to walking. I made Abe eat something in the kitchen when we found Izzy and Sam at the kitchen table not talking or looking at each other but trying to drink their untouched coffees in their hands. Abe went to Izzy touching her shoulder and she giving him a faint smile before pulling him onto her lap and holding him closely. Aaron let my hand go to pull a chair up next to Sam and lifted the cup to his lips before letting his hand go. Sam swallowed before looking back at Aaron. “Thanks,” Knowing they were all in safe hands I crept back upstairs to the far room on the left side of the hall. I knocked my knuckles softly on the wood before taking the door handle and turning it quietly open. Caleb lay in his bed still, the covers only covering his lower half as he lay there on his side with his back to the door. The shades to his room were still down making the room darker but I could still see him. I walked over to him then lay on the bed next to him curled up behind him and kissed his shoulder before rubbing it with my thumb. Caleb sighed when I did that before shifting slightly to roll over closer letting his cheek rest on my collar bone. It felt damp against my skin so I kissed the top of his head before rubbing his back to comfort him. Like he was breathing me in Caleb inhaled deeply then exhaled before wrapping his arms around my waist hugging me tightly. “How do you do it?” Caleb asked me and I shrugged my shoulders. “What do you mean?” I asked back before he shifted slightly so I was on my back looking up at him. “How do you stay so calm?”
“I wasn’t yesterday,”
“But like right now, I don’t understand.”
“Caleb, I’m not perfect.”
“But you’re calm.”
I reached out and touched his jaw before leaning up and kissed it. “Caleb, it’s okay. We’re all upset. No one is calm right now, we’re just trying to understand and make do on what we know. Victor has left us, we are all grieving and soon will burry him with the others but it’ll be okay if we stick together.”
“Alright,”
“How about you throw on a pair of pants then head down to the living room? I think it is best if we all head there to talk and figure out what to do.”
“Do you need a hand?”
“I’d love that.”
Nodding once Caleb pulled himself out of bed and threw on a pair of jeans over his boxers before looking back at me as I sat up. “This is very Alpha like of you Rose, to take charge and make sure we’re okay.” He told me and I gave him a smirk. “Thanks,” Caleb touched my hand before giving it a squeeze and kissing my cheek. Getting out of his room he went to Trevor across the hall while I moved down to Eve’s room. Like I did to Caleb’s door I knocked my knuckles softly against the wood before taking the handle and turning it. Inside I found my mother curled up and asleep in Tim’s arms as he sat on the bed with her half beside him half on his lap. He was looking outside as his hand stroked her arm absently, I caught a few tearstains on his cheeks when the sun hit them. I walked over to the bed and sat down in front of them, Tim turned his head then looked surprised to see me. “How long has she been asleep?” I asked looking back at Eve ignoring his surprised expression. “An hour maybe,”
“And you?”
“I haven’t slept yet.”
“Listen, we’re going to talk about this in the living room if you’d join us. It’s about how we’re going to move the body to the old house and such,”
“Yeah, be right down.”
“Tim?” I asked as I got up, he looked up at me. “Hmmm?”
“It’s going to be okay,” I told him leaning over to squeeze his hand then kissed his forehead. “Thank you Rose,” he murmured before I left. I headed downstairs to the living room where everyone was piling in, grieving and silent as they sat in chairs, the sofa and some against the walls leaned against them. I saw Aaron walking back from outside to my guess check on the body before he came in and caught my eyes. I nodded and he nodded back before Tim and Eve came in and sat down quietly on the sofa. Caleb rested his hand on his father’s shoulder who then touched his son’s hand back. “We figured if we take the truck then whatever other cars get us all there we can head to the old house and burry him with the others.” I broke the silence then felt all their eyes watching me. “Then what?” Trevor asked and I looked back at him. He looked like Tim, tearstained and black eyed from lack of sleep as he sat by his mother. “Come home I guess, move on. Victor wouldn’t want us to be sad and sulk. He’d want us to see the brighter side to the situation at hand.”
“What’s so bright about his death?” Trevor shot back then Izzy covered his mouth her hand but he escaped his mother’s hold and moved across the room away from her. “He’s back with the others now.” Aaron pointed out. “No matter where he is, he’s with family.”
“Who are also dead.” Trevor added and I sighed before running my hand through my hair. “Trevor please, we know you are sad about this but stop being the downer here.”
“I’m the downer? You’re dressed in all black.” He said motioning to my outfit. I hadn’t noticed what I put on but when I looked down at my body I found a black tank top with dark grey jeans. “Not intentionally.”
“This is stupid.” Trevor said getting up and walking out. Izzy sighed disappointed before getting up to deal with her son but Aaron placed a hand on her shoulder then followed Trevor out. “I’m sorry,” she whispered to me but I touched her shoulder like Aaron did. “He just is angry,”
“Where is he now?” Sam asked but Tim answered. “Aaron and I made a make shift grave last night,”
“Under the wheel barrow of dirt, Sam.”
“Caleb and I can move him,”
“Thank you,”
I watched the boys get up and leave before seeing them again as they walked to the grave and the truck. “How do we get down there?” Eve asked clearly hazed from her father in law’s death. “Pile as many people as we can into one car then move onto the next.”
“Six can go in the van, two in the truck, then that leaves two others,” Izzy tried to figure out how to move us all. “How about Sam and Caleb drive the truck since they are out there, the rest of you in the van then Aaron and I in my car?” I asked and she shrugged. “That’ll do.”
“Then lets go,” Eve said getting up then looked back at Tim who got up after her. Soon everyone was outside piling into the van leaving Caleb, Sam, Aaron and I outside. “You two okay about driving the truck?” Aaron asked and they nodded. “Sure,”
“We’ll follow you,” he added and they nodded before heading over to the truck where Victor’s covered body lay in the bed. Aaron looked over at me but I was looking at the truck until he cupped my face and turned my head to look at him. “You’re doing the right thing Rose,” he assured me and I nodded before slipping from his hands. “I’m driving,” I told him and he smirked before catching up to me and getting inside. We drove silently not even letting the radio turn on when Aaron said “Trevor misses Nathan.”
“We all do, Aaron.”
“No I mean what’s why he was acting so strange. He didn’t have a father figure to look up to since Tim has Caleb and looks after Sam. He had Victor as the father figure but now, like Nathan, he’s gone.”
“That’s terrible.”
“I was thinking, even though I am only eight years older, what if I took him in?”
“Aaron,”
“Not like live with him and stuff but help. Like the older brother he never had.”
“You are the older brother he never had Aaron.”
“I mean it Rose, he’s a troubled kid watching them all die. As Alpha I want to help but as Aaron I really do.”
I stopped at the red before looking over at him. “You’d do the same with Abe Rose. I see Katrina’s ring on your hand, you are like his mother since Izzy has a child.”
“You don’t need to ask me to take care of our family Aaron,” I told him and he smirked before touching my knee. “Thank you,” he said before I pressed the gas and continued to drive. We were the last to arrive but only by a minute or two from the light we caught. Everyone was wondering around our old house looking at the remains as Sam and Caleb leaned by the truck not sure what to do. “Keep them out of harm while we dig, Rose.” He told me and I nodded before getting out of the car but he tugged on my hand pulling me back inside. When I looked back at him Aaron kissed my quickly before saying “You are Alpha. Don’t let anyone tell you different Rose. You were born to lead,”
“Thanks Aaron,”
He let my hand go and I got out of the car before walking over to everyone as they explored our burnt house. I found Eve wondering through Derek’s library. “Hey,” I said walking closer to her. Eve mumbled back “Hi,”
“How are you?”
“Alright I guess,”
“Tired?”
She nodded then rubbed her eyes before looking back at me. “Frightened.”
“Eve?” I asked reaching out to her and she hugged me tightly like I was her mother and she was my daughter. “I’m scarred Rose, I don’t know where the shot came from.”
“I don’t either, Eve.” I whispered back to her and she sighed before letting me go. “Promise me you won’t go looking for it.”
“I can’t promise that Eve, I need to protect my family.”
I watched the fear sink into her tired eyes. “Rosalyn,”
“I’ll be carful.”
“Don’t,”
“I have to Eve, I need to protect our family.”
“Rose don’t get hurt, promise me you won’t get hurt.”
“Okay,”
She gave me another hug but this time it was motherly. “You can’t get hurt Rose,” she told me then put me at arms length to tell me. “Because I think Aaron would get lost without you,”
I smiled before hugging her tightly then together we walked to the graves where Caleb and Aaron were recovering Victor because Sam’s shovel broke. I was watching Aaron shovel as the family came around us, Izzy kneeled by Nathan’s grave, Trevor was by Aaron, Abe was hugging my side as I leaned on the truck, Eve leaned beside me, Tim was talking to Sam while Aaron and Caleb were still shovelling. Soon they were done and a few words were spoken before I found myself in the passenger side of my car with Aaron driving. Like the ride up we didn’t speak much until Aaron turned a corner then looked back at me. “What would you say if I moved in?”
“We’d have to clear it with the family for you to take Victor’s room first Aaron,” I told him still looking out the window as we drove. “No. Rose, I meant with you.”
Looking back at him Aaron held my gaze before looking back at the road to drive. “Me?”
“You are my Alpha Rose, and you know my feelings for you. I’d like to.”
“Um, well Aaron, I don’t know.”
He touched my knee before saying “I didn’t mean to bring it up if you didn’t want to,” I took his hand in mine letting my fingers lace with his before I brought his knuckles to my lips kissing them softly. “No, actually yes. I’d like that too Aaron.” I admitted convincing myself then him. “You’re right, we’re Alpha’s and we should be together.”
“Rose,” Aaron said softly taking his hand back to turn another corner before speaking again. “You make it sound like I’m forcing you because of our position together,”
“You’re not,”
“You make it sound like I am,”
“I don’t mean to,” I said meekly and Aaron sighed unsure. “I don’t have to you know, it was just a suggestion.”
“But you want to?”
“Yes. I do,”
“You’re going to need more space then that drawer aren’t you?” I asked him and he flashed me a smile before taking my hand and squeezing it. “Thank you,”
“You’re a fool, Aaron.”
“I’m your fool though, remember that.”
I smiled before kissing his knuckles again. “Yes. You’re my fool,”

Loved the last part! ahhh! lol

and i probally won't have chapter 10 up till tomorrow just letting you know. [:

damn, oh well. I can't wait to see it. (no stress, I hate writing under stress) keep it up!

Chapter Nine:
It was a quarter moon when Tim, Sam, Caleb, and Abe went for a run. Trevor, Izzy, Eve, Aaron and I stayed inside. Trevor had the flu and Izzy was taking care of him. Eve just wasn’t into hunting yet and Aaron and I were unpacking a few boxes left in my room from his apartment. We’d planed on running with them later in the night but for now I was sitting on the floor with a pair of scissors opening boxes and handing Aaron things. I pulled out a couple of t shirts before handing them over to him as he tucked them into his dresser we brought over. At the middle of the box of clothes was a small wooden box. “What’s this?” I asked him picking it up and he looked over my shoulder. “I was wondering where that went.” He said before taking it out of my hands and placed it carefully on the book shelf by the bed. “What is it?” I asked him getting up and sat on the bed looking at it, he smiled before ruffling my hair. “Curiosity killed the cat, Rose.”
“Good thing I’m a werewolf huh, Aaron?” I pointed out making him smile more before he leaned over kissing my lips softly. “It was my mother’s, you can look inside it if you’d like. I wouldn’t mind.” He told me moving back to the box on the floor and continued to unpack. I shifted closer to the box on the bookshelf before opening it carefully. Inside was little trinkets labelled with Julia’s handwriting. I smiled picking up a coin saying ‘Nathan’s first dollar’.
I found a couple of other things like ‘Violet’s first earring’, ‘Blake’s yellow contact’, ‘Katrina’s book mark’, ‘Izzy’s pearl’, ‘Eve’s guitar pick’, ‘Derek’s bottle opener’, ‘Tim’s keys’, ‘Elena’s nail file’, ‘Lily’s bead necklace’, ‘Katrina’s broken watch’, ‘Abe’s ultrasound picture’, ‘Sam’s first tooth’, ‘Caleb’s toy solider head’, ‘The scissors Rose used to cut the head off’, ‘Trevor’s first hair cut’. There was the bottle of her perfume in there then a lock of my curls tied with a teal ribbon with a couple of torn pieces of paper that I noticed Aaron’s writing on. “Why aren’t you in here?” I asked him looking over the trinkets still. “I was her son, she didn’t need anything from me to remember what I torment I was.” He muttered over his shoulder still putting things away. “You weren’t a torment, I have ‘the scissors Rose used to cut the head off’ written down.”
Aaron laughed before turning around shaking his head at me. “I remember reading that for the first time,”
“You’re not a torment Aaron,”
“Uh huh, says who?”
“Me,”
“You?”
“Yes, me.”
“So, me, what are you going to do about it if I argue back?” he asked sauntering over to the bed placing his hands on either side of me to bring his face closer to mine. “Aaron,” I warned him but he smiled leaning closer to me. “What?” he asked back before pressing his mouth to mine. Instantly I was pushed onto my back slipping my tongue into his mouth as he pushed his body against mine. I felt my legs curl around Aaron as my hands felt up his chest and finger his hair while we make out. His lips were strong and passionate against mine which distracted me from his hands until I felt his shirt on my bar skin. He had undid the buttons to my shirt and the front clasp to my bra. Little did I know I was going to have to change the style of bra I wear when I was around him. Pulling his shirt up Aaron shifted slightly so I could pull it off him and let the material slip from my fingers as his ran over my upper body until he found my jeans. Rolling him onto his back I pushed Aaron’s hands off my pants before going for his as I straddled his lap but Aaron moved quickly to get me unzipped. I found myself on my back again in seconds lying there without any clothes with Aaron above me just as naked as I was. My heart was racing in my chest when I pulled back from making out with Aaron to look up at him as he slipped between my thighs going to thrust into me before he paused looking back at me like I was to him. His breath was warm against my face as caught his breath before coming back for more. I kissed him harder pulling his body closer to mine when I felt his shaft against the inside of my leg. I gasped then pulled away from Aaron’s lips. He moaned then shifted to look back at me. “No, don’t go.”
“Aaron,” I whispered realizing what had happened… what was going to happen if I let it… “Yes?” he asked not getting my hesitation. I felt my heart sink before I wriggled away from under him when he murmured “Oh,”
“I’m sorry,”
“Rose,” he caught my hand keeping me on the bed beside him as we lay there together. “Not now, I just can’t now Aaron.”
“I’m sorry,” he whispered cupping my face in his hands letting his eyes hold mine before I blinked and smirked. “It’s okay,”
“Well no, clearly it’s not if you stopped.” He argued back and I sighed before tugging free from his grasp. “It’s fine.”
“Rose,”
“No,”
“Please, tell me.” he begged catching my hand again so I wouldn’t leave.
“It’s just… well, you’re older and stuff.”
“Is it my age?”
“Well no, not really.”
“Not really?”
“You’ve done this before, probably with a ton of girls Aaron. I haven’t.”
“Hey,” Aaron said softly cupping my face again before kissing my forehead. “Listen, I didn’t mean to hurt you Rose. Forgive me?”
I smirked tugging away again before saying “I do, don’t worry.”
“You look really pretty naked you know,” Aaron pointed out looking over my body partially still under him. I could feel my cheeks flushing “Aaron!”
“I’m just pointing it out,”
“You’re a fool.”
“I’m yours remember,”
“Ugh, get off Aaron.” I said pushing against his shoulders playfully before Aaron leaned back over to kiss my cheek then sat up. “Leaving?”
“Running,”
“Will you let me join you?”
“Will you tell me how I look good naked again?” I asked and he flashed me a grin. “No, I won’t tell you.” He said and I got up from the bed to walk to the window since it was the easiest way to get down. “But I can think it right?” he asked me looking over my body as I moved. “Perv,”
“You love me Rose,”
“Yes, I do but still. Perv.”
I could hear Aaron laugh as I climbed down the house and ran to the woods were he followed me and we changed quickly together. Once I was a wolf I stretched out my body before Aaron jumped playfully on me rolling me over to my back where his nose rubbed against my chest smelling me. I barked jokingly then nipped at his ear when he got off giving me a grin before we took off. In the air I could smell the deer, I could smell the blood already spilled from my family, and I could smell them. They weren’t too far from where we were, I spelt Sam and Caleb first, then Tim but last was Abe. He was the furthest away from us and his scent was faint but I could still pick it up. Aaron and I found the remains to the guy’s hunts and started to pick at them when Caleb nudged my shoulder hello. I nudged back hello before Sam and I did the same thing. Tim barked a warning bark to Abe because he was getting too far when the shot was fired. I was off before I realized I was running. I ran quickly to the sound hoping he missed Abe but then I saw his body lying there, clutching his bleeding leg on the ground. Aaron was at my side when I picked up the scent of a man, I looked back at him, barked once then took off following the scent leaving him with Abe and the others. I ran hard trying to figure out where this smell was coming from as the man touched leaves, rocks, mosses, trees, and other things to find his way back home. I managed to catch up to him, he was a older man at least in his forties, chunky through the stomach but had broad shoulders, his hair was thinning out and his skin oily from running so fast but in his hand held the shot gun. I must have growled to give away my position when the man’s fear picked up and he spun around aiming the shot gun and me and fired. I barrel rolled out of the way of the gun when the man reloaded and shot again missing me for the second time. I hit behind a tree hoping it would protect me until he ran out of bullets but he kept on shooting at the trunk. A few got through the bark and a couple grazed my fur, I yelped when the fourth bullet grazed my shoulder when the others got my sides. I heard the man laugh at me knowing he hurt me before he grazed my shoulder a second time. I growled Derek’s growl before hunching low to the ground then ran out from the tree and jumped into the air aiming for the guy’s throat. He let out a scream when the black wolf came out of nowhere and knocked him to the ground slashing at this throat with my teeth and claws. His blood sprayed my fur coating it in warm red liquid when the man’s body convulsed under me until his blood drained out and he died. I growled at him again even though he was gone before I got off him, took his gun in my mouth and started to walk back home. I reached the grave Victor once lay in before I tossed the gun inside and started to move the dirt with my paws to burry it. A car pulled up and Dr. Adams came out with his medical bag before he rushed inside. Dr. Adams was a man Victor had met in his childhood, he was a werewolf like we were and aided us with our medical when we couldn’t ourselves.
Abe,
I thought remembering who the man shot before I killed him. Moving quickly I went to under my window and changed back before climbing back into my room and throwing on a nightgown to cover my nakedness then headed downstairs quickly. Izzy, Dr. Adams and Eve were in the kitchen with Abe as he lay on the table moaning in pain until Dr. Adams gave him a drug and he was knocked out. I went inside next to Izzy “What happening?”
“Abe’s been shot in the leg,” she whispered shaking from the fear until Eve held her closely to calm her. “How bad?”
“Not very,” Dr. Adams said as he looked over the leg then dug in his bag to take out a scalpel. “Oh god!” Izzy whispered and I looked back at them. “Take her outside,”
“No! I’m not leaving him!” Izzy protested looking at me for the first time, she gasped. “Izzy, please.”
“What have you done?” she asked startled and I gave her a look. “Go,”
“Come on Izzy,” Eve said pulling her out but held my gaze telling me ‘what have you gotten yourself into’ but I turned and looked back at Abe. “What will happen, Dr. Adams.”
“Mike,” he corrected me looking up from Abe. His dark brown eyes held mine as he looked over my injuries. His hair looked slept in as the blonde was push away from his face, he was older then forty, maybe fifty too but looked healthy. He was thin and tall, fine boned and tan. A odd man but did his job well. “Alright, Mike, what will happen?”
“The bullet is only lodged in the tissue and missed any veins and nerves. The gun must have been a shitty hunting gun or the bullets were just old and shattered when the left the barrel. This is only a fragment, Abe will be fine in a few days of rest.”
“Good, stitches?”
“Five at most but they are tiny,” he said then his hand picked at something in his leg before I heard Mike drop it into a bowl of clear water. Coming to that side of him I saw the fragment of bullet he was talking about before I looked back at Abe’s bloody leg. “Why the blood?”
“Fear, it gets your heart pumping. The more it pumps, the more blood.” He explained cleaning up the wound before digging into his bag and pulled out medical needles and threads. I wanted to gag. “You look green Rose,” he said catching a glimpse of me from the corner of his eye. “A bit,” I admitted before walking back to Abe’s face and touched his cheek but left a bloody hand print. “Oh, good moon.” I mumbled looking over my hands for the first time. They were covered in blood. “It’s not just your hands,” Mike told me and I looked over my arms, saw the grazes the bullets left in my right shoulder and saw the blood darkening my nightgown on my stomach, chest, and thighs. “You killed the man didn’t you?” Mike asked and I nodded. “Yes,”
“Have you been shot?”
“Only grazed, I’ll be fine.”
“Let me take a look at it,”
“After Abe is stable Mike, I can wait.”
It was silent for a moment before Mike chuckled to himself. “That sounds like something your father would have said.” He told me and I smirked. “I get that a lot.” I admitted before it went silent again. After a few minutes Mike reached back into this bag and put his things away before bandaging Abe’s leg and looking back at me. “I think I’ll get someone to bring him upstairs, you might frighten them.” He told me looking over all the blood. I grimaced but nodded yes. Mike walked out of the kitchen leaving me alone with Abe. I heard his voice telling everyone he was okay and asked someone to carry him back to his room while I stroked his blood cheek carefully. The men came back into the room when I heard Aaron gasp. Turning around slightly he gasped again reaching my eyes with his worried ones. “Mike said Abe will be fine.” I told him again as Mike ushered him further into the room. “Would you take him upstairs though? We need to clean the kitchen,” I asked Aaron but he kept looking at me then looked at Abe but came back to me. “Yeah, sure… is that yours?” he asked motioning to my body. I looked down before back at Aaron. “Not all of it,”
“Where you shot?”
“Grazed Aaron, just grazed.”
“Grazed?” he repeated unsure of what I said but I motioned to Abe. “Please, Aaron I’m not strong enough to lift him. Would you move him upstairs?”
Giving me a worried look Aaron agreed before lifting Abe into his arms and walked out of the kitchen. I heard the rest of the family run up the stairs to Abe leaving Mike and I in the kitchen. “Here, hop on the table.” Mike said pulling out what looked like more bandages, cleaner and a cloth. “I’m fine.”
“Rose,”
“It’s fine, all I need to do is wash it off.”
“Then come back to me. Even though you are Alpha Rose I’m telling you that you need to be looked at. Just clean up then come back,”
“Mike,”
“No, I’m overruling you. Clean up then come back.”
Sighing I nodded before turning down the hall to the bathroom where I showered quickly then returned back to the kitchen were Mike had cleaned up the blood off the table. “Thank you,” I thanked him as I hopped onto the table like he asked before he started to clean my arm. “It’s nothing Rose,” he told me as he worked. He worked quietly on my arm, wrapping it in gauze before wanting to look at my side. I lay on the table on my good side to let Mike finish. Like with my arm, Mike cleaned the wound before asking me to sit up to wrap gauze around my body to hold the bandage against my skin. “Thank you,” I thanked him again as Mike got ready to leave. “Good night Rose, call me when he wakes up. I’m just down the road like usual.” He told me before walking out of the house to his car. Sighing I locked the door and turned off the lights before heading up the stairs and found everyone piled in Abe’s room over his bed as he lay there. I walked in and touched Caleb’s shoulder then Eve’s because they were closest. “Hey, we’re not supposed to crowd him. How about we see him tomorrow to make sure he’s okay,” I said and they looked at me shocked but I looked back at Aaron for back up. “She’s right, tonight we rest and tomorrow we can visit.”
“I’m not leaving him,” Izzy protested glaring at Aaron with teary eyes as she sat beside Abe’s bed in a chair holding onto his hand. “Izzy,” I said softly walking past them all to her. She glared back at me then inched away to my outreached hand like she was afraid of me. I held her gaze before nodding. “Alright, everyone else though will rest.”
People argued over my words but I held onto Izzy’s frightened eyes until Aaron snapped at our family and they slowly left. Soon Izzy, Aaron and I were last to go. She was still staring at me with fearful eyes until she whispered “What the hell have you done?”
“Izzy,” Aaron said softly but I shook my head no. “No, I have done something. Don’t try to cover it Aaron. That man is dead and his gun is gone.”
“You killed him?!” Izzy gasped but I covered her mouth with my hand. “Izzy, don’t you dare judge me. I needed to protect my family and he happened to get in the way.” I told her and she nodded before I let her mouth go and stood up straight. “Good night, Izzy.”
I was about to leave when she murmured “Thank you,” before I was out of the room and was heading upstairs to my room. I yanked off my bloody nightgown then changed into a new one when the door opened and closed before I heard Aaron sigh. Looking over at him he held my gaze before sitting down on the bed holding my gaze. “That blood wasn’t yours?” he asked me and I nodded yes. “It was his, some mine but was his.”
“You were shot?” he asked me again and I sighed before running my hand through my hair. “Grazed,”
“Rose.” He gasped before getting up and pulled me into him. “Don’t scare me like that again,” he begged holding me closer to his chest and I sighed easily before shifting my head slightly looking up at him. “How is he?”
“Rose,”
“Please,” I begged and his eyes softened before he picked me up in his arms and carefully brought me to the bed where I lay against his chest. “He’s going to be okay I think,” Aaron told me rubbing his hands up and down my back. I nodded before sighing and curling further into his chest. “I didn’t want to kill that man Aaron, believe me. I didn’t want to do that.”
“I know,” he whispered back. I felt the hot tears starting to fall down my checks until Aaron whipped his thumbs on my face to dry it. “I didn’t want to,” I sobbed burring my face into his chest and shoulder. “Aaron, I didn’t want to.”
“Rose,” Aaron whispered keeping my cheek pressed against his chest. “It’s going to be okay, Rose.” He insured me kissing the top of my head then buried his nose in my hair letting me feel his breath. “Aaron,”
“No, listen to me Rose. You did the right thing to keep us all safe.”
“I feel so terrible,” I sobbed shaking from my fear. Aaron sighed softly then rolled me off him onto my back looking up at him. He ran his fingers under my eyes again before Aaron just looked at me. He had a faint smirk on his lips and his eyes were loving when he resting on his stomach beside me. “Trust me, it’s going to be okay.” Aaron said again and I nodded. “I trust you,”
Aaron smirked a little more before his eyes searched my face and he leaned over kissing my forehead. Tilting my head up I felt Aaron’s lips touch my nose before my lips. It was just a soft kiss, a worried kiss but felt amazing to feel his mouth on mine. When we stopped I curled up against Aaron’s body and he took me in happily as we lay there together on the bed. I felt his breath on the back of my neck as he breathed before he kissed the skin lightly. “You did the right thing, Rose.” He whispered and I nodded. “Thank you,”
“Rose?” he asked and I turned my head slightly to look up at him. “No matter what happens, you know I love you right?”
“I love you too, Aaron.” I whispered pressing a kiss to his lips then curled back into him falling asleep instantly in his arms.

Sorry, busy weekend.
wow that was a mind blowing chapter!

Chapter 10

"I Love you lacey", his breath caressed my neck he kissed it very softly moving up to my lips. That's all it took for me to fall for Jeremiah he was mine and i was his. Earth to lacey!" Jordan snapped his fingers infront of my face. Get away from me. Jeez, someone's moody. I glared at him. You never answered my question lacey, I looked at him dumbfounded like i had no idea what he was saying. Oh my, Are you in about trying to figure out what Sheadon is up to or not? Um..Yeah i was still unsure i didn't know sheadon that well but he still seemed wierd. "Okay" He wrapped his arm around me. I didn't move, ever since the kiss Jordan had been acting wierd like we were a "thing" if that's even what they called it. I didn't move in to him but i didn't push away either. So it's saturday what are we gonna do today? he asked almost mumbling. There's only one thing i want to be doing Jordan i sighed every topic had been about Jeremiah i felt alittle bad but he was my focus right now and that wasn't going to change. He took his arm off me. I'm sorry. No, it's fine he started to say something but then stopped, i heard there was a party tonight how about we go and crash it? I smiled sounds perfect.

My dress slipped over me fitting every curve perfectly, i glanced in the mirror it was a dark black dress that went down to my knees and had sparkles on the sides. I let my hair down combing it i noticed it was alot blacker than usual. Alittle mascara on my eyes i wasn't much of a make up person i didn't need any but i thought i would put some on tonight. i looked at myself fully in the mirror i looked sexy, i know that sounded conceited but you can't deny what was true Jordan was going to go all nuts when he saw me. I noticed something in the mirror i leaned in to see what it was there was something or someone outside my window in the tree watching me, the same person from a few nights ago. I quickly turned and ran to the window. "Oh my god" i looked out the window but nothing was there.
There was a fairly good turn out to the party a hundred or so i would say. Jordan hadn't showed up yet i never went to school parties i promised myself i wouldn't start a fight. Guys kept checking at me in the parking lot while all the girls glared, it felt good to get attention although i didn't care about any of there's though. I knocked, Some drunk kid opened the door well, well what do we have here ourselves a pretty girl, Jack off i snapped back. A feisty one. Can i come in or not? He moved aside, i walked right past him pretending he didn't exist.

A few guys asked me to dance i just shrugged them off. Jordan still hadn't showed up i texted him but he hadn't answered. "Lacey?" I turned to my side almost spitting my drink out. Seriousoully did this guy not have a life other then to stalk teenage kids? Sheadon? What are you doing here he asked. Im a teenager at a party, what are you doing here? Suprvising make sure it doesn't get chaotic. I'm sure you are i mumbled. I gotta go, before i could say anything he vanished. I stood there all alone again checking my phone still no message, Hey, pretty girl can i get you drink. Why don't call your mom and have her take you home. "Bitch" he said. I rolled my eyes. People started to look towards the door there must of been a fight going on. I got up and headed towards the living room. Hey what's going on i asked a kid? Some guys are getting into a fight i started towards and ran out the door pushing past people i almost lost my breath standing was sheadon and Jordan, sheadon was on the floor and jordan was on top off him and he had blood on him, he looked at me fangs exsposed "Oh my god" he was killing Sheadon.

Okay, that was way too cool. I loved how you had written that Jordan wasn't answering Lacey then suddenly he's there kicking Sheadon's ass. Awesome!

Chapter Ten:
By morning I was the last to wake up. I could hear everyone talking downstairs but Aaron who was still lying with me not wanting to wake me by leaving. My bullet grazes hurt more this morning then last night but I figured that was because of the fear. Aaron was softly fiddling with the strap on my nightgown, taking it off and on my shoulder as he stared at the ceiling lying on his back with me curled half on him and half beside him. I blinked a few times then tried to move to look at him when my bandaged side hit Aaron’s ribs hard making the pain intensify and I inhaled sharply clutching my side. “Rose,” Aaron whispered putting me on my back and made sure he didn’t touch that side. “It’s fine,” I muttered but he placed his hand on mine. “Let me see.”
“It’s fine,” I repeated but Aaron cupped my face in his hands. “Rosalyn, let me see it.”
“Why do you use my full name?” I asked him and he sighed before kissing my forehead. “You’re a tool, now come on Rose. I won’t touch it, I just want to make sure it’s okay.”
“It’s fine.” I told him again and he moaned before sitting up. “You’re asking for this.” He told me taking my hands and pinned them above my head easily with his one. “Hey! Aaron!” I argued trying to pull free but he was stronger. “Get off me,” I told him and he gave me a look “Rose, stop.”
“Aaron, I’m fine.”
“I don’t know that.”
“I’ve been telling you that!”
“Rose, I just want to take a look.”
“Aaron, it’s fine.”
“Stop.” He told me, his voice hard and controlling. I wanted to shout back at him telling him I was fine but my voice caught in my throat. He’s never used that tone to me before. Ever. Holding his gaze I nodded once and he carefully took the edge of my nightgown in his hands before pushing it up to show my bandaged side. He didn’t look pleased with what he saw when he lowered my nightgown again. “Where on your body were you grazed?” he asked letting my hands go to show him. I leaned up slightly and ran my hands over his ribs. “Here,”
“On both sides?”
“Yes,”
He sighed running his hands over his face then through his hair before opening his eyes again and look back at me. “You’re worried,” I pointed out and he smirked. “I love you, that’s why I worry.”
“I’m not hurt,” I told him and he gave me a look of ‘yeah right’ and I corrected myself. “Not that hurt.” Aaron rolled his eyes before kissing the top of my head. “Tell me when you do,”
“Promise,” I said sealing it with a kiss good morning. “But, I want to see Abe.” I added and he smiled. “Sure,”
Getting up from the bed I ran my hands through my hair to undo the knots as Aaron put on pants over his boxers then together, half dress but not caring, we headed downstairs. I could hear everyone’s voice downstairs in the kitchen or living room while Tim was with Abe. I knocked on the door and both Tim and Abe looked up at me from their conversation. “Hi Rose,” Abe said cheerfully and I smiled before coming further into the room and crawled on the bed beside him not to disturb his leg. “How you feeling?”
“Really good. Mike, or I think his name was Mike, gave me this pain killer stuff. Everything’s numb. It’s cool feeling.” He told me and I looked at Tim who shrugged. “No clue what it was but it seems to be working.” He told me before Abe said “Hi Aaron,” as he follow me but sat at the edge of the bed by his feet. “Hey, Abe.”
“Whoa, what happened to your arm?” Abe asked noticing my bandage. “Nothing Abe,”
“That’s B.S. Rose, tell me.”
“Did you just say B.S.?” Tim asked and Abe looked at him. “So?”
“Your mother’s going to kill you,” Tim taunted getting up from the chair to leave. “Don’t tell her!” he begged as Tim walked to the door. “I’m not,” he insisted before giving him a wink and a smile to leave us with our time. “But really,” he moved on making me smile. “Nothing Abe, don’t worry. You’re as bad as Aaron.” I told him and Abe smiled before Aaron laughed. “I’m not that bad,”
“Yes, you are.”
“He does it ‘cause he loves you Rose,” Abe pointed out and I smiled before running my hands through his hair ruffling it up. “So you’re okay?”
“Yeah, I think so.”
“That’s good.”
“What happened to the guy? Did you like run him out of the forest Aaron?” he asked Aaron who shook his head no. “I didn’t do anything to him.” He admitted and Abe looked confused. “So he’s still around?”
“No,” I said softly and Abe looked at me. “The blood on my cheek wasn’t mine, was it?” he asked motioning to the cheek I touched before Izzy whipped it clean. “No, it wasn’t.” I said looking back at him. “And it wasn’t yours either,” he stated and I nodded. “Not all of it was,”
“Where is he?”
“On the ground, I think.”
“And the gun?”
“In the grave under the dirt.”
“Was is hard?”
“Very,”
“Rose?”
“Yes?”
“Thank you.”
“It’s nothing Abe,” I said then kissed his forehead making him smile. “So what happens now?”
“What do you mean, Abe?” Aaron asked confused shifting to sit in Tim chair looking over at both Abe and I. “I mean what happens with us and all. I’m second to be shot, will we have to change something around here?”
“No Abe, he’s gone. We’re safe now,” Aaron explained then looked back at me for insurance. “Aaron’s right.” I added and Abe looked between us before shrugging his shoulders. “How long will I have to be here for?” he asked and I sighed. “I don’t know Abe. Ask Izzy or Eve.”
“You’re not helpful.”
“I just woke up!” I protested and Abe glanced over at me. “I thought your hair looked different,”
“It’s slept in, Abe.”
“And that’s why it looks different.” He pointed out and I smiled before laughed. “I like happy you better,” Aaron admitted watching Abe and I talk. “Why? What happened last night?” Abe asked looking between us again. “You were shot last night Abe,” I reminded him then Aaron added “Grief took over.”
“Is that why your eyes are red?” he asked and I looked over at Aaron. “Are they?”
“A bit,” he agreed with Abe and I sighed running my hand through my hair. “Anything else you two would like to point out about me before I got downstairs for coffee?” I asked them and Abe shook his head like I was about to eat him or something, Aaron smirked. “I like the nightgown if that helps, it’s soft.”
“Ewe gross! Not in front of me!” Abe begged and I winked at Aaron. “Thank you,” I whispered leaning over to kiss his forehead before kissing Abe’s. “I’ll come by again, want me to get you something to eat?”
“Already ate, Izzy comes by every five minutes with something for me.”
“Oh Jeeze,”
“A smidge but it makes her happy.” Abe shrugged and I rolled my eyes. “Feel better Abe,” I told him then got up to leave. Izzy was coming up the stairs like Abe mentioned with a glass of something in her hands. She didn’t even notice me when I said hi to her but she walked on and into his room. I watched for a moment before walking downstairs to the kitchen to find coffee. Aaron must have followed me out shortly after Izzy came in because his hands found my waist pulling me into him as I tried to pour my cup. “Aaron,” I sighed and he inhaled deeply breathing in my hair. “Yeah?” he asked back and I smiled. “If you know what’s good for you, you’d let me go since I haven’t had my coffee.” I told him and he kissed my cheek. “Fair enough,” Aaron sighed then let me go to sit at the table lazily. “Coffee?” I asked him after taking my sip but he shook his head no. “Thank you, but no.”
“I don’t get how you don’t drink this,” I muttered shaking my own head as I sat down across from him at the table, his foot nudged mine lightly making me smile. “Flirt,”
“Am I not aloud? Or will I have to wait until your finished your crack?” he mused and I rolled my eyes. “Ha. Ha. Very funny, Aaron.”
“You rolled your eyes at me again.” He told me and I laughed. “I do that a lot at you,”
“I’ve noticed.”
“Good.”
“How’s it good?”
“You tease because you love me, I rolled my eyes and shake my head because I love you.” I explained making him smile. “I like your reasons, Rose.”
“Thought you would,” I teased then sipped my coffee nudging his foot back. “What’s going to happen?” Sam asked coming into the kitchen and stood in front of the table by us. “What do you mean Sam?” I asked him and he ran his hand through his hair before saying “Abe is the second person to get shot. What are we going to do about it?”
“Nothing,” Aaron said and I saw the confusion and anger well up in his eyes. “What do you mean nothing?” he demanded. “Sam, we can’t do anything to a dead man.” Aaron said and Sam started at him. “But you were with… but you weren’t,” Sam said changing his focus from Aaron to me. “Oh my god, Izzy was saying something about so much blood. I thought it was Abe’s…”
“No, it wasn’t Abe’s.” I said quietly then sipped my coffee but it turned bitter and I gagged on it. Putting my cup down on the table I looked back up at Sam who was staring at me. “You did it?” he asked me to clarify, I nodded once. “You?”
“Yes Sam. Me.”
“And you let her?” he asked Aaron. “She took off before I knew what was going on. I had to help Abe first before I could go after her.”
“But still, you just let her go out there with some murdering mad man?”
“Sam, don’t press the subject.” I snapped at him but he kept digging. “Weren’t you a little afraid she might have been next?”
“Sam, that’s enough.” Aaron told him. “Don’t you love her?” Sam asked him, I looked back at Aaron to see the pain in his eyes from the false accusation about him. “Sam, please stop.” I said getting up to touch his arm wanting him to leave. Sam took my wrist to look at the bandage Mike had made me. “You were shot?”
“Grazed,” Aaron corrected him getting up and turned to the cupboards to looking for something. Sam looked back at me worried but angry. “I’m fine Sam.”
“He should have protected you,” he whispered too low for Aaron to hear from where he stood but I saw his muscles in his back tense up with hatred. He had heard. “Sam, Aaron’s a good Alpha. We talked about this before, if something were to happen he helps the pack before me. You can always find a new Alpha but to find a new pack is harder. Now, as your Alpha, I’m going to ask this again. Sam, please stop and drop the subject. You heard Aaron, we’re fine right now. All that needs to happen is we heal our wounds.” I told him in a whisper I knew wasn’t as low as his was before. Sam held my gaze before turning on his heal and leaving. I looked back at Aaron who was still standing with his back to me, holding what looked like a coffee cup in hand. I came up to him and hugged him from behind, Aaron tensed more then relaxed to my touch. I kissed the spot between his shoulder blades before I felt Aaron’s hand touch my hands around his waist. “Thank you,” he murmured pulling my hands away to turn me in front of him now. “You’re welcome,” I whispered back making him smirk before he kissed me quickly.

By night fall when everyone had done to bed I finally said good night to Abe and crawled back up the stairs to my room. It was dark with the window open letting the warm night air into the room, the moonlight was faint lightly the room enough for me to make out Aaron lying on his stomach half covered in the sheets. I smiled when I saw him lying like that, he doesn’t often do it but when he does it always makes me smile. I changed quickly into my nightgown and brushed my hair back into a messy high pony tale to get it off my face and neck before turning back to Aaron. I watched as his chest rose and fell as he breathed softly, his head turned to face the wall with his arms around the pillow. His legs were sprawled out twisting with the sheets as they wrapped around his body only to his waist leaving his back and chest bare. Carefully I crawled up into the bed then adjusted the sheets to slip under them beside Aaron and was angled so my head was on his back. It rose and lowered with his breathing until he inhaled deeply then exhaled obviously awake. Then he rolled over so I had my cheek on his chest with his arms around my waist holding me against him. “I was comfortable,” I told him and he laughed quietly then yawned. “I like this way better,”
“Why’s that?”
“I can hold you.”
I could feel my cheeks blush from his comment. “That’s sweet Aaron,”
“I try, darling,” he yawned dropping the ‘G’ slightly in darling. “Darling?” I asked back in the same way he said it dropping the ‘G’ slightly. “I was yawning, sue me.” Aaron murmured rubbing his thumb on my shoulder softly. “You never call me that,”
“Too weird?” he yawned again and I smiled. “Sleep Aaron,”
“No, tell me first.”
“No, it’s not weird at all.”
“Good,” he mumbled then yawned again. “Tired, wolf boy?”
“Hey, name calling. Penalty for five minutes.”
“Really Aaron?” I asked lifting my head to look up at him when he kissed me. “Nah, I just wanted to kiss you.”
“Tool,” I muttered but leaned over to kiss him again. “You love me,” he teased between breaths. “You know I do,” I teased back.

i like Aaron and Rose together. [:
chapter 11 will be up monday im busy with school and stuff. sorry for the delay. (:

Nah, no problem. School will be taking over my life too soon. Damn,

Chapter Eleven:
“You sure you don’t want to come?” Aaron asked me for the fifth time making me smile. We were outside of Abe’s room maybe a week after he was shot but I had sent him to bed. “Yes, I’m sure. Aaron you’ll be fine without me. Besides, Izzy needs to get out and let him breath for a few hours. Give her a good run,” I told him touching his upper arm, he frowned. “I don’t like running without you Rose,”
“I know, I don’t either but I can watch Abe for this night and we can go together when he’s better.”
“Positive?”
“Promise,”
Aaron leaned over to kiss my cheek before whispering “I would like to talk with you tonight,”
“About?”
“Us.”
Looking back at him I was worried something was wrong but he laughed and pulled me into a hug. “You worry too much Rose. No, it’s not bad.”
“What’s it about then?” I asked wriggling out of his arms to look up at him. “Rose, it can wait.”
“No, you brought it up. Tell me,” I begged and he smirked. “It’s a conversation for you and I to have, not the family.”
“They’re outside. Come on, Aaron. Tell me,”
“Okay,” he said then carefully took my hands rubbing his thumbs on the back of my palms. “I want to try,” he told me and I felt my heart stop for a moment. “Oh,”
“I said this was a conversation for later,” he told me but squeezed my hands. “Just think about it Rose. I’ll understand if you say no, I’m not going to pressure you into it. I just want to take a step further,”
“Aaron… I’m only seventeen.”
“You know I would never get you pregnant,” he told me seriously and I nodded yes. “Just think about it Rose, I’m not saying we have to. I’m just asking maybe later if you want.”
“Yeah, I’ll think about it.” I told him then squeezed his hand. “But go, run and enjoy yourself.”
He gave me a grin before kissing me good bye. “Thank you Rose,” he breathed in my ear before flashing me another grin and turned to leave. The butterflies in my stomach grew as he left.
Me and Aaron? Having sex?
I thought watching him go then remembered him telling me about getting me pregnant and how that would never happen.
Maybe this would be a good thing? We do love each other and, hell, we sleep in the same bed. Maybe he’s right about taking the next step forwards.
I figured when I heard the front door close and the house was quiet. I stood in the hall for a few seconds longer before walking into Abe’s room to find him lying on his side reading a book in the moonlight. “You’re going to lose your sight if you don’t turn that lamp on.” I told him leaning over to turn on his lap and he winced from the sudden light. “Oww. I think I’m going to lose it with the light,” he muttered putting his book down and pulled his covers over his head. I tugged them back down. “I thought you were supposed to be sleeping,”
“I thought you were supposed to be running?” Abe pointed out rubbing his eyes to help adjust to the light before running his hand through his hair. I smirked. “In a bit,”
“Can I run with you then?”
“Abe, you leg has to heal.”
“Mike says it’s fine. If I can walk on it I can walk on all fours.”
“No, the change could rip open the stitching.”
“They we call Mike again and say I just sat up too quickly or something. Come on Rose, it’s been a week. I need to run.”
“Abe, you could get hurt.”
“I can just go around the house,” he prompted and I shook my head amused. “Come on Rose, just this once?” he begged me and I thought about it. “Okay, just this once.”
He smiled happily before pushing the covers off his body. I grabbed his hand to stop him. “Just around the house twice Abe then your coming back and sleeping.”
“Deal, thank you Rose.” He said taking his hand out of mine and got up from the bed to kind of limp off. I sighed hesitating if this was the right thing to do then followed him outside. Abe went behind the house to change and before I knew it he was wondering around in his wolf form sniffing things and licking stuff. “Abe, stay focused.” I told him and he looked up at me, snorted before started to wonder off to the other side of the house. I sat on the porch watching him as he wondered carefully around the house until his wolf passed me twice and the third time he was human again. “My leg is fine,” he told me climbed over the railing like a boyfriend would do to not wake up your father. I smiled when he came next to me. “You’ve grown,” I told him noticing he was now to my shoulders. “Have I?” he asked and I nodded. “You’re at my shoulders now.”
“Cool.”
“But get back inside. You had your fun and now you rest.”
Abe groaned. “Can’t I just stay up?”
“No.”
“God, you’re worse then Izzy.” He mumbled on his way back inside the house. I laughed. “No, Izzy wouldn’t have let you even get up from the bed.”
“True, thank you for that.”
“Abe it’s nothing.”
Abe and I went back inside, he crawled back up the stairs into his room while I followed him. I watched as he climbed back into bed then adjusted the covers to get comfortable. “What were you and Aaron talking about?” he asked noticing I was still standing in the hall leaned against his door frame. “Nothing you need to worry about,”
“His tone was forgiving and some point. What did he do?”
“Ask a question,”
“Which was?”
“Nothing you need to worry about, Abe. Go to sleep,”
“Don’t shut me out Rose, I’m not a little kid.”
“You’re seven years younger then I am.” I pointed out and he groaned. “I’m turning eleven in August. So sue me. Come on, what’s the worst he could have asked? It’s Aaron. He loves you, even I know that.”
“Abe it’s–”
I was cut off by a gun shot.
Then a second.
And a third.
My heart lurched and the terrible feeling came back in the pit of my stomach. Everything went quiet like I lost my hearing or something. Everything was in slow motion. I found myself gripping onto the door frame to keep me standing as I listened for any sound that could help me, Abe was shaking my arm trying to get me to do something but I never heard his voice. I heard someone shouting. They were too far for me to hear them properly but I heard someone shouting. Then it got clear. “Aaron!”
My breathing stopped.
My heart, shattered.
My world, shattered.
Before I knew what was going on I was running down the stairs and through the hall until I ran physically into Sam chest. He caught me holding me from pushing past him. “Where is he?! Where’s Aaron?!” I shouted at him fighting to get past. Sam grunted from my force. “Rose stop. You can’t help him.”
“Oh moon!” I gasped feeling the tears wetting my eyes. “Where is he Sam? Get off me! Let me go!”
“Rose, calm down. Mike is trying to help him.”
“Trying?!”
“Rose, I–”
“What do you mean by trying?!” I cut him off. Caleb ran into the room, covered in blood. “Oh moon!” I gasped wincing from the sighed of blood. He looked unscratched meaning the blood wasn’t his. “Contain her,” Caleb snapped at Sam as he looked for the medical kit we kept in the living room under the table. “It’s harder then it looks,” Sam grunted. “Let me go!” I shouted at him again and Caleb sighed. “I’m sorry for this Rose, it’s for your own good.” he told me before reaching out to touch me. “No! Go away Caleb! Let me see–”
I was cut off by Caleb’s hand pinching the nerve in my neck. He dropped me. I was passed out in Sam’s arms.

I woke up groggy, sore and tied down. I was confused at first, this was my bed and my room but I felt restraints against my hands and ankles. Blinking a couple of times I looked at my wrists to find them tied down with fabric which held me down carefully. “It was for your own good,” Caleb told me shifting in his chair beside the bed. I looked up at him and glared. “You fucking dropped me.”
“I had to, you could have hurt yourself. Or him.”
“Why am I tied?” I asked coldly and he sighed before shifting to stand up and sit beside me on the bed. “You could have hurt yourself now,”
“Caleb! How dare you?! Untie me now!” I demanded feeling the tears coming back from the betrayal. “Rose, there’s something you should know first.” He told me and my heart stopped.
Aaron,
“What happened to him?” I asked him quickly. He gave me a faint smile before running his hand through my hair brushing the curls away from my eyes. “He was shot, baby. Badly but Mike seems to think he’ll pull through.”
“Oh moon,” I whispered and Caleb whipped the tear away from my cheek. “He’s downstairs in the living room still unconscious,”
“Can I see him?” I asked quietly looking up at Caleb holding onto his eyes. He hesitated to let me go but nodded. “You just can’t touch it,”
“It?”
“His bandage,”
“Why? What will happen?”
“The stitching could break, he was um… well, shot by his heart Rose. If he had moved an inch it would have killed him. It’s a miracle he lived.”
“Oh moon,”
Caleb bit his bottom lip before leaning over and untying me feet first then arms. Slowly I sat up from the bed, rubbing my wrists from the tightness of the fabric before getting up and passing Caleb to head to my door. I climbed down the stairs slowly, worried of what I would find and scared. I got to the hall were everyone slept, eyes watched me as I walked alone now aware of what had happened. Mike came out from Victor’s old room, my guess he was staying on hand until Aaron and Abe were healed. I looked at him for a moment and paused in front of his room taking in him. He looked tired like he had worked all night or as up worried. That scared me more. “Please tell me he’s going to be okay.” I begged him. “Please, don’t lie and tell me Aaron will be okay.”
“Rose, Aaron will be okay eventually. Right now he’s resting and he should stay that way.”
“Caleb said he was unconscious,” I sniffed whipping my eyes with the back of my hand. “He is,”
My heart lurched again and the terrible feeling grew in the pit of my stomach. “Are you staying?”
“Yes,”
“Thank you,”
Mike gave me a faint smile before I walked off downstairs to the long hall. I passed the kitchen slowly before entering the living room where I found Aaron lying on his back half dressed in jeans with his chest bare and bloody. He had a large white bandage wrapping across his chest and shoulder with a small red spot over his heart. A sob escaped my lips as I covered my mouth with my hand to keep me from shouting. I knelt beside the sofa looking over at Aaron before my hand fingered his hand softly then ran up and down his jaw. I held his hand and kissed his knuckles before sniffing and whipping my eyes. Aaron didn’t stir. The only motion of life was his light breathing with his chest rising and lowering slowly. He felt cold for once, his skin pale white like marble. I ran my hand through my hair then felt someone touch my shoulders. Turning my head slightly I found Eve kneeling beside me with her hands on my shoulders. I leaned forwards into her arms wanting my mother’s company when Eve wrapped me into her, rubbing my back as she shushed me. “Rose,” she whispered “I’m so sorry,”
“Mike says he’s going to be okay.” I mumbled breathing into her shoulder. She hesitated before saying “I shouldn’t have gone to the right, I shouldn’t have moved. I should have stayed with Tim but Trevor was getting too far behind and I was worried.”
“What are you talking about?” I asked pulling away when I saw the bandage on her arm. “The first shot…”
“Was at me,” she whispered with a tear sliding down her cheek. My hand left Eve to cover my mouth in shock. “He jumped in front of you…?”
“Yes,”
“Aaron,” I whispered retaking his hand. “He’s a good man, Rosalyn. A very good man.”
“Yeah,” I agreed whipping my tear away. “He’s really good,”
It was quiet as I watched Aaron breathe until I asked Eve “How long do you think he’ll be out for?”
“It was late when Mike got him to actually rest,”
“He was awake the entire time?”
“Yes, poor man.”
“Oh Aaron,” I sighed lifting his hand to kiss his knuckles, he still didn’t stir which bothered me. In all the few weeks we have been together Aaron always stirs when I kiss him, even when he is passed out from exhaustion. “Come on Rose, lets get you out of here for a while.” Eve suggested to me taking my hand away from his and tried to pull me away but I escaped her hold. “No, I’m not leaving him.”
“Rose,”
“What if this was dad?” I asked her and watched her eyes cloud over with sadness remembering Derek. She leaned over to kiss my head when she easily left. I watched her go before I looked back at Aaron worried. “Thank you,” I whispered to him leaning over to kiss this cheek. “You saved my mother, I owe you everything Aaron,” I squeezed his hand wanting him to squeeze it back but nothing happened. I felt the terrible feeling coming back in the pit of my stomach when I didn’t get a response to him but I remembered he was still unconscious. “Aaron, you’re going to be okay.” I told him rubbing my thumb on his hand. “If you can hear me Aaron, I love you.”

I liked it! [:

gosh im so tired. anyway

Chapter 11

My whold body froze no thoughts came out of me, not even of "Him" it was just me and Jordan there starring at each other. i had to get him out of here he was exsposing himself in front of people who knows what could happen to him. So i did i took charge and believe me he didn't like it. I stormed right over there he wouldn't hurt me he acted all tuff but i knew he was scared of me. I grabbed his shoulders and forcefully made him stand him facing me. "Don't move i said" coldly. I knelt down Sheldon had blood everywhere i'm suprised he could breath. I put my ear to his heart there was a beat a very very little beat, i glared at Jordan dissapoint all over my face, he just stood there. Someone call 911 i demanded! People had there cellphones out speeding so fast there phones almost fell from there hands. "Idiots" i whispered. I didn't know i was going to get out of this one obviouolly i couldn't say he had fake "fangs" on. and there was blood everywhere something only a blood thirsity monster could do, is that what was happening to Jordan? he was hungry he didn't have any human blood he did say he never killed a human...Yet he slipped tonight. Sirens were running and police and my heartfell camera crew...I quickly grabbed Jordan's hand and pushed people out of the way in the crowd.

"Lacey!", i continued to ignore Jordan fury inside me. We stopped at a halt and he held me in a tight position making me face him. "Lacey!" Stop please! Why should i?! you almost killed Sheadon, you got yourself exsposed and you..i stoped. Let me exsplain. Fine i don't really have a choice you have my attention. I glared. When i was leaving my house my mom took my phone away from me, and i knew you where going to message me and i felt bad i didn't want you to think i was ingorning you.

Little to late, i mumbled. My shoulders started to relax has he continued i was heading to the party and felt someone or something following me, i saw someone in the bushes and the tree i began to panic. Once i got to the party i was happy and felt relived. And then out of nowhere Sheadon appears...Jordan..It's okay you don't have to finish i believer you whatever happened. Sheadon was talking to me at the party before he "disappered" and it was right as you came. WHatever happened was your business and i don't want to know.

Jordan's eyes changed colors. "is anyone out there?" "Oh shit" i yelled there's people looking for us they must of told us we ran into the woods! come on! Lacey! What? i demanded. climb on my back. Wha? just do it. without argueing i climbed on his back and in a instant he was running, so fast i could barely open my eyes they felt all blurry. We ran what felt like five minutes when we where in front of Jordan's house. He gently let me off. I fell to the floor. Lacey are you okay? concern on his face. Y..y.Yeah im okay. Come on let's get inside. He layed me on his bed. (i know what your thinking) he gently put a ice pack to my head. Really im fine. No your not. His fangs where gone now and he looked like he always does. "i love you Jordan i blurted out." my face went bright red and my whole body went stiff. Jordan didn't move at all. You don't know how long iv'e wanted you to say that,he smiled.

Aw, that chapter was sweet. I liked it a lot.

Chapter Twelve:
Dinner was quiet. Or at least it was to me. The room was silent like after I heard the shots. Not even the cutlery made a sound. I was staring across the table at the empty seat in front of me then the one Aaron should have been sitting in beside me. Sam was on my right as usual and Eve sat at the head of the table like she always has. I haven’t touched my food yet even though we have been sitting here for almost half an hour but I could feel the coldness of my dinner on my wrists as I rested them on either side of the plate. I could see their mouths moving but not a sound was to be heard. Cutlery should be scrapping across the plates as my family dinned but it was silent. Mike didn’t join us for dinner because he was looking over Aaron at this point and would eat later. I was told I wasn’t aloud to see him when Mike was with him so I sat here at the dinner table with the rest of them. Subconsciously I twirled Katrina’s ring on my finger, which I still wore since Abe gave it to me when Victor was killed, in worry when I heard Mike’s voice say “Rest Aaron, you need to rest.” My head shot out of the dazed zone I was in to listen harder when I heard a faint protest. “I don’t give a damn. Where’s Rosalyn?”
Aaron.
Getting up from the table the sounds of my family came back to me as I walked away. “Rose? Where are you going?” I heard Izzy ask me but I ignored her and moved quickly down the hall to the living room where I found Mike sitting on the coffee table which was pulled closer to the sofa where Aaron lay. Mike looked up at me “Hello Rose, I thought we made a deal.”
“How is he?” I asked ignoring the fact yes I was breaking the deal I made. “He will be fine,”
“Is that Rose?” I heard Aaron mumble clearly not awake enough yet but awake. Practically running I came to the sofa’s side and sat down next to Mike looking over at Aaron who blinked a couple of times then smiled a faint smile. “Love you too,” he whispered and a few tears slipped my eyes. “You heard?”
“Yes,”
Leaning over I kissed his forehead “Thank you, thank you, thank you for keeping her safe,” I told him and he smirked before lifting his hand to catch a few tears. “Don’t cry,” he whispered. “I hate it when you cry.”
“Why’s that?” I asked as I hastily whipped my tears away but Aaron held onto my hand so I stopped to hold his linking our fingers together on my lap. “Because it means you’re hurt.”
I sniffed trying to stop but I couldn’t help it. “What if I told you they were happy?” I asked him and he gave me another faint smile. “Then I’d tell you I love you,”
I tried to laugh from his comment but it turned more into a hiccup then a laugh, Aaron managed to chuckle for me making me hiccup more. “Oh moon, I feel like such a idiot.” I muttered still hiccupping as I looked down at me feet. Aaron lifted his hand to cup my jaw lifting my face to look as his. “You’re a cute idiot. My idiot Rose,”
“Harsh,” I teased and he flashed me a grin. “I say the truth, sometimes it’ll hurt but at least you’ll know I’m honest.”
“Thank you Aaron, I needed that.”
“Anytime, darling,” he said still dropping the ‘G’ like the other night. “Come on Rose, you made a deal with me. He needs to rest, you can talk with him later on.” Mike told me touching my shoulder. “Tonight?”
“In the week.”
“I can’t do that,” I said inching closer to Aaron till he squeezed my hand weakly. “Have you eaten Rose?” he asked and I looked back at Aaron meekly. “Well, not yet.”
“Go eat something Rose, I’m not going anywhere anytime soon.” He told me quietly before closing his eyes for a couple of seconds then opening them. “Are you tired?”
“In pain actually,” Aaron corrected me and I winced. “Come on Rose, you need to go so I can help him.” Mike told me and I moan in complaint before looking back at Aaron who looked back at me. “You’re going to kiss me before you go right?” he asked and I hiccupped again before nodding whipping my face one last time. “I like your idiot hiccup, it’s sweet.” He teased me making me hiccup more. “Good night Aaron, I’ll come back soon.”
“Will you talk to me?”
“Yeah, of course.”
He gave me a faint grin before pulling my hand wanting me to come closer. I carefully kissed him before Aaron whispered “I love you,” into my ear, I hiccupped again ruining the moment. “Good moon,” I muttered then ran my hand through his hair softly. “Love you too,”
“Enough love, Aaron needs meds.” Mike said pushing me away to get me to leave. I sighed looking back at Aaron who gave me a loving smile as I left. Abe was in the hall waiting for me before he hugged me around my waist saying “Told you everything would be okay.”
I smirked hugging him back. “Thank you Abe,”
“Is he okay?”
“Tired but will be better soon.”
“How soon? I hate it when you’re like this.” Abe asked me and I leaned over kissing his forehead. “You’re so sweet Abe.”
“Do you think he’ll be up and moving soon?”
“Maybe but for now Aaron’s going to rest.”
“Resting is stupid though,”
“Yeah, I’ll agree but it’s going to help him Abe.”
He moaned then let me go before looking past me into the living room. When Abe looked back down the hall Trevor was standing there watching us when Abe nodded with Trevor walking over. Like Abe, Trevor looked past me into the living room when I saw his eyebrows gather together in worry. “Abe, how about you help with the kitchen,” I suggested but Abe protested. “Come on Rose, it’s already done.”
“Abe,” I pressed and he sighed before stomping off like any child would. Trevor was still watching Aaron in the living room when I turned around and watched what he was. “You can go in if you want, he’ll like that.” I told Trevor speaking over my shoulder to him. “No, I can’t.”
“Trevor,” I told him turning my head to see him when he looked up at me. “You sure?” he asked me and I nodded. “Go, just be quiet. He’s tired.”
“Thank you,” he said quietly before walking in and stood in front of the sofa before saying something to Mike. I watched as he sat down where I sat before Aaron placed his hand on Trevor’s knee to reinsure him. Trevor smirked before nodding yes and saying something back. I smiled when Eve handed me a warm plate. “Eat.” She told me and I looked back at her with a smile. “He told me the same thing,”
“He’s right. I’m right. Eat Rosalyn,”
“Thank you,”
“Abe’s right about everything being alright. Aaron will be fine. Don’t worry,”
“I know,” I said whipping my eyes then hiccupped making Eve smile. “You father had the same effect on me too,”
“Did he?” I asked then hiccupped again. “Yes,”
“When was he badly hurt?”
“The night you were born,”
“Will you tell me about it?”
“Will you eat?”
“On the stairs?” I asked motioning to them and Eve smiled before both her and I walked over and sat down. My once cold plate was warm now from either the oven or microwave. I ate quietly as Eve started to tell me the story.
“Your father was out for a run with Blake, Tim and Nathan because he was going crazy with my due date so close and hadn’t gone on a run in weeks. I told him we’d be fine without him around for a few hours but he never believed me so I told the men to take him out wilfully or not. I guess during the run some pack challenged the lands as theirs when it was ours so Derek, Blake, Tim and Nathan fought against them.” Eve paused to laugh then a tear slipped her eyes. “I should have kept Derek with me because only five minutes after they left my water broke,” she laughed again then whipped her tears before saying “He always knew what was best for me, sometimes even better then I knew my own body. Violet, Kristina, and Lily left to go find them to bring Derek back to help me when they found them pretty bloody. They won of course but it was very bad.
“Labour was short with you, very painful but only lasted about an hour. Derek wasn’t fast enough and missed it but he came home to a beautiful baby girl.” She said then lifted her hand to caress my cheek with happy tears in her eyes. “You were so beautiful, you still are Rosalyn but back then it was like everything was right.”
I smirked feeling myself blush before Eve laughed and went on with the story. “I could remember Michel being so worried about your father but Derek didn’t care. He had a healthy baby girl and that was all that mattered. Eventually I persuaded him enough to let Michel look over him while you slept and it turns out he had broken a couple of ribs, his wrist, caused a faction in his leg, internal bruising, external bruising, deep gashes everywhere and a small concussion. Your father drove me nuts, but I love him very much.”
“Did he grow up after I was born?” I asked and Eve smiled. “A little bit. He was still the Derek I knew and married but he did grow up knowing he had to be a father figure with you around. He was an amazing father.”
“He was,”
“I miss him a lot.”
“We all do mom,”
She smiled when I called her mom. “You’re like him,”
“So I’ve been told.”
“No seriously, you are exactly like him. Only he would interrupt the fight for Alpha to save me when I was getting beaten. That’s how I met him and that’s how I fell in love. He was kind and loving Rose, you are his little girl.”
“How long did it take dad to heal?” I asked and she smiled. “He wouldn’t sit still at all, it took forever for him to heal properly. Aaron’s smart to rest. I’m sure he’ll be up and running soon Rose.”
I leaned over and hugged her tightly. “I love you mom,”
“Love you too, honey.”

Thanks yours was good to!

chapter 12 will be here friday. [:

Cool, can't wait!

Chapter Thirteen:
I’ve been spending my days with Aaron who was mostly sleeping during the day but awake at night. By the third day I was asleep leaned back on the arm of the sofa when Aaron’s hand touched my jaw waking me softly. I blinked a couple of times before turning around to find Aaron awake with a worried look in his eye. “Rose, the moon is out.”
“Hello to you too,” I yawned before rubbing my eyes then stretched out. Like him, I’ve been sleeping during the day and wake at night with him so we could get some time together before he falls asleep again. “Rose I mean it, when was the last time you ran?”
“With you when Abe was shot.” I admitted and he mentally counted the days before saying “That was about a month ago.”
“I know, I’ve noticed.”
He reached out to place his hand over my heart feeling it beat quickly in my chest. I needed to run soon before my wolf body takes over no matter what time of day it was. “You need to run,”
“I can wait.”
“I can feel the pulse Rose,”
“Aaron, don’t make me go.” I begged pressing his hand harder against my skin wanting to feel him with me. Aaron smirked letting his fingers slip just under the neck line of my top to touch my skin. “You’re so warm,” he told me with a sigh and I smirked back. “You’re just cold,”
“Kiss me before you go?” Aaron asked and I moaned in complaint. “I’m not leaving you Aaron.”
“Nothing will happen to me Rose, I won’t go into labour or something.” He teased and I smiled at him. “I’m still not leaving you alone,”
“He won’t be,” Eve said leaning against the door frame. I looked back at her wondering what she was doing up. “I could hear you from upstairs.”
“Thank you Eve,” Aaron said before looking back at me then poked my chest lightly. “Go on wolf girl, Eve can hold down the fort for you. You need to run Rose, I can see it in your eyes.”
I hesitated before taking his hand and squeezing it. “Alright, I’ll go.”
Aaron smiled then squeezed my hand back. “Be careful,”
“I will,”
“Would you take Caleb?”
“I don’t want to wake him.”
“Rose, he loves you. He won’t mind.”
“Aaron,”
“Rosalyn I mean it. Go on with Caleb, Eve and I will stay here.”
I sighed before nodding and taking his hand off my chest. “Rose?”
“Yes?”
“I nag because I love you, you know that right?”
“I thought you teased me because you love me?” I asked making him smirk. “Nah, I just love you.”
“Love you too, Aaron.” I whispered before kissing him softly. He squeezed my hand before I let his go to stand up. “Have fun, wolf girl.”
“You too, cripple.” I teased making him smile more. I thanked Eve for looking after him before I climbed the stairs and headed for Caleb’s room. I didn’t bother knock because I knew he would be asleep but when I opened the door it was like a wave of heat hitting me. His window was open but that just let in the warm air making his room hotter. I found him lying on his side with his back to the door, the bedding around his legs but I could see his naked ass. Quietly I waked over to his bed and lay beside him, kissing his shoulder like I did before hand when Caleb moaned slightly then rolled onto his back turning his head to look at me. “Hi,” I whispered and me smirked before yawning “Hi,” back. “Aaron’s making me run,” I told him and he rolled to his side to face me head on. “Okay,”
“You don’t even know what I’m asking.”
“You want me to come with.” He told me and I scowled. “Mind reader,” I muttered and he smiled and me before kissing my forehead. “Why else would you come up here for?” he asked me and had a good point. “Maybe to catch you sleeping naked,” I teased and he rolled his eyes at me. “Come on baby, get off so I can find pants.” He told my smacking my ass to get me moving. I smiled before getting off the bed as Caleb pulled on pants. “Anyone else you would like to wake up at three in the morning?” Caleb asked me once he was covered. “No, just you.”
“Gee, I’m special.”
“Yes you are.”
“Aaron trusts me that I’ll kept you safe doesn’t he?” Caleb asked as we walked to his door. “I guess,” I shrugged my shoulders. “Rose, who’s idea was it to bring me along?”
“His,” I admitted and he wrapped his arm around my waist pulling my side into his side. We passed the living room when Caleb said “I’ll keep her safe, Aaron.”
Aaron looked up from talking to Eve to Caleb. “Thank you,”
I smirked at Aaron which made him smile before Caleb and I headed outside to change. “Rose?” Caleb asked as we walked. “Hmm?” I asked back looking up at him. “What do you think about me leaving?”
“What? Where?”
“I don’t know. Somewhere not here I guess. Maybe Europe.”
“Why?” I asked stopping him, he looked back at me. “Family.”
“I don’t get it, your family is here, with me and Aaron.”
“That’s it though. It’s you and Aaron. Rose you’re the only girl around my age but you’re taken with Aaron. I want a family of my own. I would like to have someone to call my girlfriend, my partner, or even a wife. But there isn’t another female werewolf around here who I can call that. Besides you.”
“Caleb,” I complained reaching out to touch him but he pulled me up and into him. “I’m going to miss you Rose,”
“You don’t have to go,”
“In September I’m going.”
“Caleb.”
“Don’t fight, I want to remember this as a good time.”
I looked back up at him when he leaned down to kiss me. It was a hard kiss, a passionate kiss as Caleb pressed is full mouth onto mine searching for me. We staggered to the forests edge, still making out, when Caleb pressed my back into a tree trunk pinning me there with his body. I felt his hands under my top pulling it off me then undoing the front clasp to my bra and pulled that off too. Instinct took over with lust and my hands started to undo his pants when Caleb yanked my shorts off effortlessly leaving me leaned up against the tree naked. Caleb eased me onto the ground where his lips sucked on my breast when he parted my legs with his hands. I moaned feeling my heart race in my chest when Caleb’s hand searched my inner thigh until his fingers probed softly inside me. I gasped as Caleb’s hand started to move back and forth inside me, his knuckles hitting the inside of my legs as he moved. “Let me fuck you,” he begged still finger fucking me. “Caleb,” I moaned taking his hand and stopped him. He stayed motionless inside me as I gasped for breath with him above me until I slowly moved his hand away from me. “Caleb, I love Aaron.” I whispered to him and saw his pain in his eyes. “Sorry,” he whispered back shifting from being above me to find a spot to change. I sighed sinking into the grass letting my heart slow before opening my eyes to look back at Caleb as he sat on the ground feet away from me. I rolled to my side then crawled over to him, sitting on his lap lifting my hands to his hair to make him look up at me. He held my back and ribs to keep me close to his body when I pressed my lips to his kissing him again. It was a simple kiss, hard and passionate but simple. “Caleb,” I whispered between breaths until he pulled back for me to continue. “Come running, please.”
“Can’t we stay like this for a while longer?” he complained dropping his head to kiss my neck then lower to my breasts. “Caleb,” I whispered fingering his hair to lift his head to look at me again. “Let’s go.”
He sighed before kissing me quickly and agreeing. Getting off his lap I went to the other side of the clearing to change and when I did Caleb was back nudging me happily. I curled up in his legs licking his chest before uncurling myself to sniff the air. Caleb nudged my shoulder then pointed west were I picked up a faint scent of a deer. He nudged me to go on and I licked his jaw quickly before barking once wanting him to come with but he kept nudging me telling me he’d be right there. I growled not happy with him but started to follow the scent away. The deer wasn’t too far from the house and soon I was on the doe ripping out her wind pipe. The blood was warm and gushing from the wound I made but I pushed past the blood and ate. The meat was warm from the life that once filled the body when I heard a snap. I figured it was just a bone but then I heard the cocking of a gun. My head shot up to the sound of the gun being cocked when I saw a woman. She was older then I was, maybe Eve’s age, with bright red hair. And a shotgun. I was frozen, my breath caught, my heart stopped and the shot was fired. I fell to the ground feeling the bullets graze my sides, the woman was running away when the yelp of pain cried out into the air. But it wasn’t mine. Dazed I lay on the ground in my human body holding my sides when I heard breathing. Jerking my head up I saw Caleb’s body breathing weakly only feet away from me. I bolted up right and kneeled above him. “Caleb?” I gasped looking over his body seeing the through and through bullet wounds in his ribcage. I pressed my hands to the wounds trying to stop them when Caleb’s hands covered mine. “Caleb, why did you do it?” I asked feeling the tears in my eyes when the redness started to slip between my fingers. “Two good reasons,” he whispered to me squeezing my hands. “First, I am replaceable and you are not,”
“You are not replaceable Caleb. Not to me,” I gasped hiccupping from the tears. “…Second, you are my best friend…” he coughed spitting up red blood. I lifted his head onto my lap to ease his pain when Caleb finished. “…I will love you till my last breath, Rose…”
“Caleb, I’m so sorry.” I sobbed but he shushed me placing his bloody fingers on my lips. “…Baby, let me go,” he whispered and I hiccupped shacking from his request. “Caleb,” I breathed but he gave me a smirk. “I love you Rose…”
“I love you too, Caleb.” I whispered when he touched my cheek. Pulling me down I kissed Caleb one last time, feeling his life slowly fading into the night until his lips stopped pressing on mine. He was gone.
“Rose?! Caleb?!” I heard Izzy calling out to us, I swallowed my sob before closing Caleb’s eyes and shouting back. “Over here!”
“Rose?” I heard her ask me pushing past the bushes before she gasped at the sigh of us. “He saved my life…” I whispered looking down at him. I rubbed his jaw before looking up at her. “Don’t leave him alone Izzy, whatever happens don’t leave Caleb alone.” I told her before crawling out from under Caleb’s head and over to the trees where I changed back into my wolf and took off. “Rose!” Izzy shouted after me when I took off but I ignored her and kept running. I smelled the air for the redhead, it took a while but I caught her scent. I followed it as she curved around trees and ducked by rocks until I was by some roads. They were further then I’ve really gone before but I didn’t care. Rage filled my body as I ran past the houses and ducked through the lights when I started to run back into the forest. I lost her scent for a few minutes so I sat down to breathe when I picked it up after taking a few deep breaths. Cracking my back quickly before taking off again weaving through the trees until I came across a old house. The scent collected there assuming she lived there or is staying there. Slowly walking over I carefully peered into the window where I saw a blonde woman lounging in a large chair with a dark haired man sitting with her, obviously a couple, a blonde man pacing when the redhead woman came back into the room. The blonde man stopped pacing then asked her “Well?”
“I missed. Some guy jumped in front of her and the others were coming too quickly for me to shoot her.”
“Grace!”
“Shut up Ben! I’ll try again.”
“Should I try?” The blonde asked but the dark haired guy protested “No you’re not. Look what happened to Daniel.”
“Jer, come on. I’m much faster then Danny boy.”
“Taylor?” Ben asked glaring at her. “Yeah huh?” she asked perky, clearly not too bright. “Shut up.”
Taylor glared at Ben before looking back at Jeremy with the ‘sad puppy dog’ eyes. He leaned over and kissed her but they started making out on the sofa. Grace rolled her eyes before changing her grip on the shotgun and going on. “It doesn’t matter, I’m going to try…” she stopped staring out at something. Then she lifted the shotgun and pulled the trigger. The glass around me broke as the bullets flew into the air, one nicked my shoulder but I tore off too quickly before Grace could shoot at me again. Panting I ran back home dodging and ducking things past me until I was on the road like before. I stopped a second to get a look at my shoulder when I noticed yes Grace did shoot me. It didn’t hurt as much as I thought it would, sure it burns and stings but I think my fear is bigger. I looked up at the sky noticing it was brightening up. I snarled before starting to jog back to the house.

intresting ending!

Chapter 12

I felt like i had a bowling ball for a head just pulling and pulling me down further to the ground. My head would not stop hurting, i felt weak and spineless from one stupid run with my vampire best friend. I laughed. What the hell? Why was i laughing i felt all wierd inside li couldn't feel my arms or legs everything was stone i couldn't even lift my head i knew i was laying straight down. What was going on? Where was Jordan? The room was pitch dark there was no windows the last time i was consious i remembered two windows being visible and the blinds where opened. Now there were none in sight. i started to panic, was i kidnapped! had something happened to Jordan! I could feel something on my wrist it felt like a bite mark...it was recently bloody i could fill it dripping down my arm Gross, i whispered. Okay i knew i couldn't feel anything, hell like that was going to stop me from trying. I tried to remember what it felt like to feel remembering the feel of desks people outside, inside. I continued to think and i noticed my toes began to bend i could feel them! Yes i had accomplished something. I tried to imagine touching Jeremiah's sweet face caressing his cheeks how soft and smooth they were his aftershave taking over my smell almost making me fall to the ground. My fingers becam in a fist. Yes okay i was moving i lifted slowly, but steadily my left arm to my right wrist.

Pushing aside the ice packet that was on it. There where two bites on my wrist Oh my god. and they felt recently bitten and there was still wet blood terror came acrosse my face. How long had i been out? What could have someone done to me why i was asleep obviousouly i was drugged. I heard a door open i quickly put the ice pack back on and closed my eyes pretending i was asleep. She's still asleep jeez she's been out for two days. Two days! oh my gosh what the heck! My eyes darted open. I could see a shadow the person had wavy brown hair and was slim but muscalar. Jordan? I whispered. Lacey!

"Your up!" Finally. Where am i? Oh where at my house just down in my basement i had to get you in a dark area and this was the only place i could think of on a short notice. Hah what do you mean, what's going on? And why can't i move. I couln't see his face but i could see the exspression in my mind he was blank and silent. Damnit Jordan tell me! He strached the back of his kneck. "I Don't think you want to know."

Pfft, how bad could it be?

He stepped away from me backing away, worse than you can imagine and i feel so selfish i should've have never done it!

Done what? i demanded.

"Your turning into a vampire Lacey"

My whole world shattered.

That was a cool ending!
Can't wait for more!

Chapter Fourteen:
By the time I got home the sun was out and bright. I was limping when I found my clothes and changed into them, my shoulder was bleeding a lot staining my skin. I scrambled back into the house holding my shoulder to stop the bleeding when Trevor and Abe ran up to meet me in the hall. “Rose?!” they said together but I sighed closing my eyes before opening them. “Is Mike around?”
“Why? What happened?” Abe asked looking over and noticed my arm. “It’s nothing,” I muttered walking past them upstairs to Victor’s old room where I knocked on the door. “Open,” he said so I did. Walking inside I closed the door behind me. Mike stood up from the bed when he saw me. “Rose?”
“She shot me,” I told him before showing him the wound. “Just take it out of me and I’ll go.”
“Sure, of course. Head to the bathroom I’ll be right there.” he told me and I nodded before recovering my wound and walked quickly to the bathroom where I shut the door then sat on the counter till Mike came back with his bag. “Scale of one to ten what is it?” he asked me shutting the door then opened his kit. “Six,” I muttered when Mike started to clean my shoulder. “What were you running on?” he asked taking my wrists to look at my hands. “The road, I followed her to the house.”
Mike went silent for a long time, just working on my body before he said “I’m sorry about Caleb.”
“How is Tim?”
“Grieving with your mother. Eve is very kind,”
“Sam and Izzy?”
“I honestly didn’t speak to them about this.”
“Who is watching Aaron?”
“The kids.”
“What?” I asked and Mike paused digging into my shoulder to find the bullet. “I knocked him out to keep him from harming himself. Don’t worry, he’s asleep.”
“So they’re just there to tell you when Aaron does wake up?”
“Pretty much,”
“Oh,”
It was quiet again as Mike worked when I told him “I was grazed again.”
“Oh?”
“The bullets that killed Caleb grazed my sides.” I told him and he looked back into my eyes. “He jumped in front of me to save my life.”
“He was a good man.”
“It was a stupid thing to do,” I muttered feeling a tears slide from my eyes. “How?”
“He said he was replaceable while I wasn’t but that’s not true,” I whispered trying not to cry. Mike carefully patched me up when he said “The people you love never really go away.”
“But he took bullets to keep me alive. Why? He just graduated and had so much life ahead of him. It’s not fair. She was aiming for me. She said she was aiming for me not Caleb. He should have just let her hit me.”
“Rose,” Mike said lifting my jaw to look at me. “He chose to save you, he chose to give up his life for yours, it was his choice Rose.”
“But you can always find a new Alpha. Not a new pack brother.”
“Rose stop it. He did this for a reason,”
I nodded then sniffed when Mike started to bandage my hands. We didn’t speak after that, he finished my hands before looking at my sides when he told me to get some sleep so I left him. I saw Trevor in the hall but I didn’t think much about it when I crawled back upstairs to my room. The bed was still slept in like the night when Aaron was shot. I haven’t touched it since that night since I’ve been sleeping downstairs in the living room with him but right now I needed to sleep without Abe and Trevor hovering around me. I closed the blinds making the room dark before changing into one of Aaron’s shirts, which was three sizes bigger then I was, and falling into the bed. I lay on his side of the bed using my pillow but hugging Aaron’s smelling the scent of his cologne when I squeezed it. I turned over onto my left side so I was facing the wall like how I normally sleep when I pulled the covers up to curl further into the bed. I felt a couple of tears fall onto Aaron’s pillow when the door opened then closed. I moaned burring my face into the pillow and pulled the covers closer to my head. “Please just let me sulk in peace.” I moaned before the bed dipped as whoever sat down. I pulled the covers over my head not wanting them to talk to me when the person got up from the bed but they just crawled over me to lie on the bed beside me. The blankets were pulled up as they slipped under like I was. “Go away, I just want to sulk.” I muttered to the person then felt a hand touch my hand around the pillow. I winced when they touched my bandage hands so they let go. “Rosalyn,” Aaron’s voice whispered to me and I gasped hearing his voice. “Aaron?” I asked pushing the bedding off as I propped up onto my good elbow looking down at him. “Hey darling,” he said looking up at me then eyed my hands. “Michel wouldn’t tell me what had happened to you. Where you shot?”
I broke down right there and then. Sobbing I collapsed into Aaron’s chest crying my eyes out while shaking from the force. Aaron wrapped his arms around me holding my cheek to his right side of his chest letting me have my break down. “I’m sorry,” he shushed me as he rubbed up and down my back carefully not to disturb my sides after I winced once. I shook my head and hiccupped knowing he didn’t mean to, Aaron pressed his lips to the top of my head trying to calm me. I cried for a long time, Aaron held me while I did until I stopped. Still breathing deep breaths I whipped my face just to get a ton of bandage which didn’t help. I laughed bitterly when Aaron lifted my jaw to look up at me worried I had lost it. “My stupid hands, I can’t whip my face dry.” I mumbled then Aaron whipped my tears away with his thumbs. “Better?” he asked me and I smirked before nodding yes. Curling up against his chest I sighed then adjusted the blanket to recover us after I ripped it away. “Can I ask what happened? I know you may not want to tell me but you got me worried when you just took off for hours.” Aaron asked me and I shifted my head to look up at him. “She just came out of no where Aaron, I didn’t even hear her. I was just eating when I heard the gun being cocked then I was on the ground, human, and grazed. She ran off before I knew Caleb was hurt. He risked his life for mine, he gave his up to save me. Izzy found us… Caleb was already gone but I took off looking for her and, well, I did. It’s the five other wolves we fought against but there’s only four now. The redhead’s name is Grace, she shot me when she saw my in the window. The blonde guy is Ben, the blonde girl is Taylor and the dark haired guy is Jer, or Jeremy.” I explained to him then Aaron made a worried face. “How bad is your shoulder?”
“It’s fine.”
“Rose,”
“Alright, it will be fine.”
“What about your hands?”
“I was running on the road,”
“Where are they?”
“I don’t know,” I whispered then looked back down. “It’s going to be okay Rose,” Aaron whispered back to me with a sigh. “Aaron what would you do?” I asked him feeling his eyes looking at me. “What do you mean?”
“Would you have sacrificed yourself to save me?”
“Yes,”
“But would you rather I pass on and be with them or live the rest of my life in sorrow?”
“Rosalyn,” Aaron warned me sitting up bringing me with him in his lap. “I mean I’m very easy to replace. It’s not like anyone will mis–”
I was cut off by Aaron cupping my face in his hands and kissing me. I was confused at first, his lips kissed me softly like you would kiss a first date or something but then Aaron started to kiss me like how he normally does, hard and full of passion. Closing my eyes I opened my mouth a little further to shape around his before feeling his tongue circling the tip of mine like he does, my bad arm wrapped around his waist while the other tangled in his hair feeling the softness through the bandages. Aaron held my hips pulling me closer so I straddled his lap when he caught his hands in my hair letting the strands curl with his fingers. Then I felt his teeth playfully nip my lower lip, I gasped from surprise but it did feel good. Still kissing me I did the same thing to Aaron just carefully nipping his lower lip when he smirked then continued to kiss me with the same hard passion. My breath caught in my throat when Aaron tilted my head back to expose my neck where he bit into the soft flesh seductively. Slowly Aaron kissed my neck before running his nose over my skin saying “Don’t you dare say you will not be missed Rosalyn. Don’t you dare say if you died you could be replaced because you can’t.” in a low voice. “Aaron, it doesn’t matter.” I told him in a low voice. “Yes it does Rose,” he said kissing my neck again. “Aaron, it doesn’t matter because Grace will come after me.”
His lips stopped and he titled my head back up. “Pardon?”
“Aaron,” I said softly touching his jaw with my injured hands. “I heard them, all of them. I’m their next target because they think you’re dead.”
I could see the shock and fear in his eyes as he covered my hands with his before looking back at me. “They will never touch you Rosalyn,”
“Aaron,” I begged but he held my hands tightly in his. “You are not going to die Rose, I won’t let them touch you.”
“Aaron, please.” I begged pulling my hands away from his when he got out of his dark mood and blinked a few times. “I’m sorry,” he told me looking back at me before touching my jaw with the backs of his fingers. “I just won’t let anything happen to you, I don’t know what I would do without you Rose. You’ve changed my life and I love you, my wolf girl.” He said before kissing my nose. “I believe you Aaron, I trust you and love you.”
Starting from my neck Aaron started to kiss me again until his lips were back on mine kissing me like before making my heart ache, but it was a good ache.

Then the door burst open with Eve saying “Rose! Aaron’s gone!” at the top of her lungs I jumped startled which made me roll over from sleeping on my side to fall completely off the bed on my wounded shoulder. “Oww! Fuck!” I muttered grasping my shoulder rolling onto my back to keep off the injury. Aaron quickly got off the bed and helped me sit up before inspecting my head and shoulder when I looked back at Eve who was watching us in awe. “Found him.” I muttered then took Aaron’s hands as he tried to pull my hair away from my shoulder. “I’m fine, love. Calm down,”
Aaron grinned before kissing my forehead. “Anything else you want to tell us?” I asked her but she ran her hand through her hair before looking over at my body. “What happened?”
“Nothing, I just fell off the bed.”
“Your bandaged.”
“Ran on the road.”
“But your shoulder…”
“It’s fine.”
“Was that when…” she asked and I nodded yes. “It was,”
“I’m sorry to wake you both.” She said quickly before leaving Aaron and I on the floor. I watched her go before looking back at Aaron who looked back at me then touched my face with the backs of his fingers again. “I hate being injured,” he muttered and I smiled at him before kissing his forehead. “Come on flirt, we should get dressed and go downstairs. I’m sure everyone is in a panic wondering what the hell happened.”
“How did I go from being ‘love’ to ‘flirt’ in such a short time?” he asked me as I got up. “Easily Aaron, you were just being yourself.” I teased and he grinned before kissing my lips good morning. “You’re a tease,”
“You love me,”
“You know it.”
We helped each together get dressed using Aaron’s fingers to do up buttons and zippers but my hands to pull up and slip through. Eventually after some playful pokes and touches Aaron and I were dressed and heading downstairs were the sun was setting in the background. Abe ran up and hugged me tightly but I gasped and pulled away when he touched my sides. “I’m sorry!” he said walking further away when Aaron touched my shoulders lightly to make sure I was okay. “I’m fine,” I said to him then looked back at Abe. “Just not so hard, okay?”
He flashed me a grin before hugging me lightly again. “Better?”
“Much.”
“Where did you guys go anyway?”
“Back to our room,” Aaron answered and Abe nodded. “What’s going to happen now?”
“Now we take care of Caleb then stay away from the forest.” Aaron still continued to answer for me but I let him. “What about changing?”
“We’ll change all together, no one goes off on their own.”
“What about the shooter?”
“She won’t be here much longer,” I mumbled more to myself then to them before the three of us came to the living room. Tim was staring outside the window with Eve leaned against it looking at him, Trevor was sitting in a chair by the sofa where Aaron used to lay, Izzy was sitting in a chair in the far corner while Sam sat on the arm leaving the three of us on the sofa. “How far have we gotten?” Aaron asked everyone. “Caleb is outside,” Izzy said softly, I saw the muscles in Tim’s neck strain from the mention of his son’s name. “Sam would you drive the truck again?”
“Yeah, sure.” He said absently before getting up and heading outside to my guess deal with the body. Izzy got up too then took the boys outside to pile them into the van. Eve rubbed Tim’s shoulder before leaving as well, Aaron looked at me but I shook my head no. “Go with them, Trevor would like that.”
“Alright,” he agreed before kissing me and left. I watched Tim before getting up and walking over, rubbing his shoulder when I got there. He inhaled deeply then sighed. “You know, a man never thinks to outlive both his wife and child,” he told me then looked over with red eyes. “Not one man thinks that.”
“I know Tim, I know. It’s going to be okay,” I said reaching out and hugging him. He hugged me back before I heard the cars being started. “Come on, ride with me.” I said taking his hand and lead him out of the house to my car. Tim didn’t protest about getting the passenger seat and the drive was quiet. “He didn’t die alone, Tim.” I said softly and he nodded. “Izzy told me about what you did.”
“He was a very good man, you raised a great one.”
“Was it hard?” he asked me looking over from staring out of the window. “No, he was very strong through it all. Caleb was very strong.”
“What was the last thing he said?”
I smirked slightly before whipping my eyes remembering. “He didn’t say anything when he died. He kissed me one last time,”
Tim smirked knowing his son would actually do that. “Caleb always loved you,”
“And I’ll always love him.”
“Do you think he’s happy?”
“I think he’s sad to leave you Tim but now he with his mother.”
He nodded. “I suppose he would be happy.”
“But he misses you,”
“I suppose that too,” Tim admitted before rubbing his eyes. “Gee, I’m such a softy.”
“Tim, you had a great lose. You’re not a softy.”
“Not even Derek cried this much when James was a stillborn.”
I stopped the car. “Who?”
“Nothing,” Tim said quickly but I put the car in park. “Who?” I asked again turning in my seat to face my uncle. “Rose, I didn’t mean to.”
“No, tell me. Who is James?”
“Your brother,”
“I have a brother?”
“Had, my dear. Had.”
“When was this?”
“Before you were born.”
“What? Why wasn’t I told this?”
“Because it wasn’t important.”
“Yes, it is. I could have had a brother. It’s important.”
“Rose,”
“Whatever,” I said coldly before putting the car back in drive and drove on. “How old would he be if he were alive still?” I asked not looking at him. “Sam’s age.”
I felt my chest tighten.
Aaron would have known. He should have told me.
When we got to the house Sam was putting Caleb into the grave by his mother but I didn’t pay attention to him and went to Aaron. “I need to ask something,” I said pulling his hand to take him away from our family. “What’s wrong darling?” he asked me when I turned around. “Did you know about James?”
He started at me. “James who?”
“My brother James, Aaron. He was born the same year as Sam but he was a stillborn. Did you know about him?”
“Rose, I was three at the time. No, I didn’t know about this.”
“Are you sure?”
“Rose, why would I lie to you?”
I held his gaze before nodding and muttering “Sorry,”
Aaron kissed my forehead before taking my hand carefully. “Come on, wolf girl. Clearly you need more sleep then five hours.”
“We only slept for five hours?”
“We made out for a very long time,” he said squeezing my hand lovingly making me smirk. “Sleep will do me good,” I admitted then looked back at the grave Caleb lay in and got the terrible feeling in my gut. My heart was pounding in my ear and my breathing stopped seeing him lying there. Aaron must have sense my discomfort because he pulled me into him like he was protecting me from the feelings, they didn’t go away when he did that. Actually, they never did go away. When we got back home Aaron had sent me back to bed. I complained about it but when we got upstairs and he started to undress me I didn’t mind so much anymore. I had told Eve I needed more rest to help with the pain and she told me that I was okay to do that. So Aaron and I crawled into bed, naked, and in each other’s arms. I tried to sleep, I really did but the terrible feeling never did go away. It was still compressing against my chest stopping my heart and breathing while Aaron slept peacefully. I spent hours thinking about Caleb, about the sacrifice he gave to me. When the moon came out I carefully eased out of bed and out the window where I changed. I was hunting tonight but not for animals I normally hunt. I was careful where I ran, I made sure they wouldn’t have anyway to either see me or smell me by running through water and ducking by the human homes until I got to the forest. A blonde female wolf was blocking me from the path. Taylor didn’t know what to do about me but when I pulled back my gums and snarled she knew she needed help. She started to turn to run but I jumped into the air and landed on her back, pushing her to the ground as I bit down into her hide. Taylor yelped in pain as she fell to the ground but she managed to flip over so I was rolling on my side away from her. She got up and jumped on me crushing my ribs with her legs. I growled at her kicking her in the hind legs which pushed her off my body. As she staggered I quickly rolled up to my legs and jumped at her baring my teeth on her neck. I bit down, hard. I could feel the sudden rush of blood from the wound I made, Taylor yelped but I jerked her neck in my mouth when I heard the snap. Getting off her, Taylor’s body lay limp at my feet dead from me snapping her neck. I growled at her body before starting to move back to the path. I ran a few feet before I felt something sharp hitting my skin around my back, it was painful but not a gunshot. My eyes started to get blurry and my muscles started to crap out on me when I staggered to a stop. Falling onto my side I felt my eyes closing, someone in the background was laughing. A evil, cruel laugh. I blacked out before I could hear them do anything else.

I remember waking up slowly still with the pain in my back. I blinked a few times unsure where I was but once I opened my eyes I could see it. I was in a dark room only lit by a small light bulb in the corner, the walls were made off wood like the floor with no windows but a door on the left, I was lying on a old bed tired up with my wrists bound behind my back and my ankles together. I had a gag in my mouth limiting my breathing… and shouting for help. It was cold in the room and the bed was just a mattress leaving me lying there naked. I could hear voices on the other side of the wall, one female and two male arguing over something. I tried to remember what happened after I felt the pain in my back but nothing came back to me. I twisted my legs to the other side so I could sit up and try to break free when the bed springs moaned at the change of weight in one spot. The door flew open with Jeremy storming in making me jump startled by the quickness. “Move bitch and I’ll shot your head off.” He threatened coldly pushing the barrel of the gun against my cheek. I nodded understanding looking up at him when Ben came in taking something from his pocket. I saw a needle in his hand, I screamed a muffled scream at the sight of the clear substance in the needle but Jeremy cocked the gun still aimed at my head. “Come on babe, stop the fuss. It’ll only hurt for a minute.” Ben told me reaching out to pull my arm closer to him with the needle in his other hand. I screamed trying to pull away when Jeremy growled then shot the gun only inches from my head. “Jeremy,” Ben warned him before saying “Don’t hurt her until I am finished.” as he stuck the needle into me and injected me with whatever was inside it. Jeremy glared at his friend before snapping “Once she’s out I get her.”
“Fair enough,”
Leaving Ben and I Jeremy took the shotgun with him as he left the room. I whimpered looking up at Ben when he looked back at me with evil in his eyes. “You know the girl you killed?” he asked me and I nodded yes. “She was my sister, about your age. Now, you took away her so I am going to take away you.”
I tried to tell him off but my pleas were muffled from the gag, Ben glared before lifting his hand to backhand me. I winced in pain before he backhanded me again and snickered. Ben started at me for a long time just looking at me up and down making my heart race in fear of what will happen. I watched as he walked to the end of the bed and picked something up that looked like a riding crop before snapping it in the air making me jump again. He whipped my calf, naturally I cried out in pain but my cries were muffled like before which just made him angrier and he whipped me again. Ben beat on me, hard. He used the crop to whip my skin before it snapped on my arms when he actually started to beat me with his own hands. I felt really light headed after a few minutes and soon his beats slowed before he looked over at me into my teary eyes and waved his hands in front of my face. I was too dazed to even notice him, whatever he put into me was working well and I was starting to black out. First the room around me went all dark, then the tips of Ben’s hair, his skin, his body, his mouth, nose then eyes. My eyelashes closed onto the world making everything dark. I heard the door open and his shouting before the blackness consumed me.

I could remember little bits of my daze when I managed to regain consciousness enough to open my eyes to see what was happening. The first time was when Jeremy came back into the room. He stroked my hair almost lovingly before he pulled the tips slightly like he was trying to get it straight before I felt the scissors gliding through my hair. I was too dazed to realize what he was doing until my hair fell around me and he brushed it away. A lot of my curls were cut off leaving my head feeling lighter then it already was. Jeremy smiled at his work before fingering my new hair style and putting the scissors down.

Next time I woke he was rebinding my arms so they were pinned by my sides around my waist tightly as my back was being bound to the bed in long, thick rope every few inches keeping me still. I could feel his hands undoing my ankles before he bent my legs up and open like I was doing a yoga stretch or something before my legs were tied down in the same up and open position with the rope going around my legs tightly every few inches like the rest of my body.

I felt something stroking me but it was like it was coming from inside my body. I tired to squirm away from the feeling but my ropes were too tight against my body to actually move. I heard a low laugh, a low, evil, hatred filled, laugh before the feeling to stroking stopped and was replaced with a rhythm of being pushed in then followed by out. I felt knuckles by the cress of my hip and I knew what was going on. Jeremy was finger fucking me.

His dark eyes were above me when I broke the daze. He was staring at me before I felt something hitting my pelvis in quick thrusts. I was confused to what was happening until I felt a warm wetness being shot into my body by his. I screamed. Not only was I being held captive but I was also being rapped by one of my captors.

He was pulling on his pants and tucked his shirt into his back pocket before looking back at his work he did with me. I glared at him feeling my eyes tear up from the ridicule he put me through but my glare meant nothing to him because he laughed at me before opening the door and stepping out. I was left alone, tied up and beaten. I didn’t want to cry, I didn’t want to show weakness but they’ve taken so much from me I just broke down. I lost my grandfather, I lost my best friend, Abe who was like my little brother was shot, Aaron my love of my life nearly died trying to say my mother, and they took my virginity. I had nothing more to loss now. They’ve taken it all.

Oh awesome ending!

Chapter 13

His finger moved down my body stopping at my waist, my whole body tingled i would've given anything to have that feeling forever, "Calm down Lacey" He whispered in my ear, I stood so still part of me hated how easily i gave into him but the other part of me didn't care at all i had him and that was that. "I don't like seeing you like this it scared me i had to pull you away from them...and make sure you where okay." I had witnessed two idiot boys Hurting a inisint girl so i could charge it brought attention to the school and everybody stood there wathing me beat the hell out of some guy. And then Jeremiah showed up and took me away from the chaos no one else was in sight it was just me and "Him"...

My hand knotted in his hair, his eyes looked tired like he had been working all day but he hid it for me us both know what was going to happen next, and nothing was about to stop it it just happened. "We can't...He whispered", But he wasn't pulling away he was hungry for desire he hadn't got it in forever i could fill the longing in him it had been to long since he had felt this way about someone or in if anyone...Emotions where everywhere love, need, want, "We've already broke every other rule" i whispered in his ear. No one talked after that....And that was the night i lost my virginity to the man i love.

"I love you lacey" he whispered in my ear we where laying down side by side after making love, he caresesed my hair moving a strand from my face, I don't regret what we did, i would do it every night he smiled seductively. I looked into his eyes mirroring every thing he said i didn't need to say how i felt he could look at me and it was written all over my face. I already know you feel about me you don't even need to say anything. If there was one thing you could have in the whole world what would it be? he asked. "I have everything i need." i smiled.

My whole body ached at that memory, everything was going to according to plan until Jeremiah was taken and Turned...I was training to kill him and to find a way to bring him back to life no matter how crazy that sounded there was a way and i was going to find out what it was. That was all ruined again Becuase i swallowed my last gulp of salvia..

"I was a vampire"

maybe it wasn't as bad as i thought maybe just maybe me and Jeremiah could be together forever.

I really loved that chapter!

Chapter Fifteen:
The next night, or at least I think it was night, the same thing happened to me. Ben came this time with a actual whip and beat me before sticking me with whatever they use to knock me out and gave me to Jeremy who then rapped me like before. This lasted only three times, I didn’t know if it was all in one day or if it was actually three days but it seemed to mush together. Until when Ben finished with me he didn’t drug me this time and Jeremy came into the room walking lazily. Ben shut the door behind himself leaving Jeremy and I alone in the room. I was still bound like he bound me a few days ago but this time I was covered in bruises and cuts. He sat down beside me before stroking my hair like he normally does but I jerked my head away from his hand. He sighed before saying. “I’m going to take that off you, scream and I’ll kill you right now.” He told me taking his hunting knife out of his boot and flipped it open. I started wide eyed at it and shook my head yes understanding that he will actually kill me. “Good,” he cooed before using the knife to cut to rope binding the gag to my mouth then pulled it out. I gasped for the fresh air, breathing deeply and heavily Jeremy watched kind of in awe. “What do you want?” I growled at him and he smirked at me. “I like a girl with balls, you snap back well.”
“Fuck off you perv. What do you want?” I demanded and he got up from sitting to say “A favour,”
“Hell no!”
“Do it or I’ll carve you out.” Jeremy snapped flashing me his knife. I glared before looking back at the knife. “What kind of favour?”
“Blow me,”
“In your dreams, buddy.”
“Do it, bitch or you die.”
“So kill me!”
He sighed before changing the grip on his knife and looked over my chest to aim. He was about to strike me when I panicked. “No wait!”
Jeremy paused and raised his eyebrow at me. “Will you do me the favour?”
“Will you kill me?”
“If you try something I will.”
I nodded before getting the terrible feeling in my gut for agreeing to ‘please’ him just to stay alive. I watched him as he pulled down his pants far enough to expose his large, bulging shaft when he shifted to straddle my upper body so I was face to face with his penis. “Do it.” He ordered me and I hesitated before opening my mouth and started to lick him. I shuddered at the feeling of this pulsing thing inside my mouth but Jeremy yanked on my head forcing his full nine inches into my mouth. I nearly gagged. My tongue swirled around his head like I saw in movies when the blonde bangs the hero and Jeremy seemed to approve of it. Jeremy started to thrust in my mouth, grazing my teeth if I didn’t keep it open enough. This lasted a while but the thrust got quicker, faster and needier until a load of a warm, salty liquid was shot into my mouth. My reaction was ‘pull away and close your mouth’ but I only got the ‘close your mouth’ part taking a bite of Jeremy. He yelped from the surprise of the sudden teeth clamping down on his ‘number’ before pulling away. “You bitch!” he shouted at me before backhanded me on the side of the head. I groaned from the pain as he got off and fixed his pants before madly storming off and out of the room. “Deal with her!” I heard him shout at someone before it was silent. I stared at the door afraid of who was going to come in when Ben came in with the needle full of the clear stuff. He injected me before muttering “Stupid girl,” under his breath then left me alone in the room. Again.

Jeremy was above me again, thrusting his hips to my bound ones. “Get off me,” I said still groggy, he only smiled before leaning down and kissing me. His lips were thin but hard like razors. They cut into my mouth suffocating me from the force, I tried to scream. Pulling back Jeremy scowled at me. “You’re a mood killer,” he growled and I glared. “You fucking kidnapped me!”
Sighing Jeremy got off me before reaching over the bed to pick up the gag and slip it back into my mouth. I scowled at him this time and he grinned. “Much better, peace and quiet.” He mused before lowering his body back to mine, beginning to thrust into me. I moaned but it wasn’t from pleasure. It was hatred. Pure, vile hatred. Jeremy laughed at me “Come on babe, you know you like it.” I muttered a couple swears to him but it was muffled and not understandable at all. He didn’t bother to tell me to shut up or ‘else’ or beat me but just continued to do me until he reached his climax and finished.

By the fifth session with Ben and Jeremy I was so beaten, bruised, torn up, bleeding, and sore I couldn’t even blink without it hurting something. My gag was only removed to give me water and stale breads but then replaced leaving me mute. When Jeremy climbed off my body for the sixth time he looked back at me as he put on his pants. “I like your hair short like this, I hope your family enjoys your corpse.” He told me doing up his zipper. My heart stopped beating for a moment.
Corpse .
Was running through my mind. I was going to die tonight. I tried begging through the gag but like all my conversations, mostly swears, my pleas were still muffled. Jeremy watched me for a moment before turning on his heal and opening the door. Grace was there in waiting. He gave Grace a stiff nod before pushing past her to walk away. She snickered. Walking over to the bed she looked down at me and shook her head. “Oh, how the mighty have fallen,” she mused still shaking her head at me. “Look at yourself,” she spat. “Look how easily you fell into our trap. You’re a cheat. Not fit for Alpha.”
Grace glared before looping her arm around her back to pull out a pistol from her waist band of her jean shorts. “Beautiful, stunning, kind, Rosalyn. Yeah, that’s right. I know your name. How do I know it? Well you see, your lover boy Aaron paid us a visit. He came down looking for his ‘dear Alpha female’ when he ran into me. Of course we were human at the time and had a lovely conversation about how he was worried about you and how you took off, he wasn’t pleased Rosie.
“But then, he was just like any other man and followed me. I shot him, you know. I shot him with this same pistol. And now I’m going to shoot you.” She told me then laughed sinisterly sending chills down my already shaking spine.
Aaron,
My mind was on him. On Grace’s words about him.
He came down looking for his ‘dear Alpha female’ when he ran into me. Of course we were human at the time and had a lovely conversation about how he was worried about you and how you took off, he wasn’t pleased Rosie. But then, he was just like any other man and followed me. I shot him, you know. I shot him with this same pistol.

Tears slipped from my eyes, falling onto my bound chest which heaved from sorrow against the ropes. “Oh come on Rosie, you’ve stayed this strong so far. Do you want your pack to know what a chicken you are?” Grace mused fiddling with the pistol in her hands, taking aim while closing one eye and pretended to shoot me. I jumped every time I saw her finger near the trigger as the pistol rebounded from her fake shot. She laughed at me before putting the pistol on her hip mocking my jumping. “How the hell did you become Al–”
Grace was cut short by the sound of something breaking wood and a man’s yell. It was too high for Jeremy so I must have been Ben before his yelling stopped and I heard something fall. Quickly there were a few grunts then a gun shot. Both Grace and I jumped on the second and third one before another thud. My heart was pounding in my ears as it went quiet. Grace’s breath was uneven and heavy like she was scared of what happened. Slowly drawing her pistol she aimed it at me. “Drop your weapon or I’ll shoot the girl,” she said, voice strained to stay unshaken. “Drop yours and I won’t shoot you.” Mused the person on the other side of the door. It was a male voice, low and deep like a older man at least forties or so. “I’m not afraid of you,” Grace stuttered over his comment. “Nor I of you, Grace.”
“H – h – ho – how do y – y – y – ou – you know m – m – my name?”
“Come on Grace, drop the gun and I won’t shoot you.” The man said with a board tone which angered Grace more and she readied the gun taking the safety off. “I’m going to shoot!” she said aiming for me. “I’ll do it, drop you fucking weapon and put you hands on your head.”
“Are you really going to shoot me through the door?”
“No, I’m… I’m going to shoot her. Then you.”
“Grace,” the man growled as a warning. “One last change, drop you weapon Grace or I will shoot you.”
“Like you would actually sh–”
The gun shoot cut Grace off before the second one was fired. I yelped squeezing my eyes shut when the first one went off then felt the second grazing my right forearm. I heard a body fall before it went silent again. The man behind the door waited a moment before kicking the door open bringing more light into the room. I heard a sigh before his footsteps came to the bed. The metallic sound of a blade being drawn cut through the air and I felt my body shake from fear. A hand was placed on my jaw before my gag was cut free and he caressed my cheek stroking it with the backs of his fingers. I opened my eyes to find Blake standing above me. He reminded me for his son, the same black, thick, wavy hair, the same pale skin completion, the same sapphire blue eyes, the same jaw line, but Blake was shorter then Aaron though he was just as built. I opened my mouth to speak when he covered my lips. “Hush, I’m going to cut you free now. Don’t move Rosalyn,” he told me and I nodded feeling the tears of relief fall down my face. Quickly Blake cut me free and I was sitting up for the first time in ages rubbing my body of the aches and looking over the rope burns I had gotten. I was in bad shape. Blake unzipped his jacket and slipped my arms through the sleeves before zipping me back up like I was his young daughter. I hugged him tightly pressing my body against his feeling safer when Blake hugged me back rubbing my back and smoothing my hair. “It’s going to be okay, Rosalyn. It’s okay, you’re safe now. They’re dead and won’t hurt you anymore.” He cooed me and I hiccupped before nodding and looking up at him. “Thank you,” I whispered and he gave me a faint smile. “Come, lets get Michel to look at you.”
“They did things I rather not show Michel,” I whispered holding his gaze and he bit his lip in thought then looked back at me. “I know what to do,” he said before taking my hands to pull me off the bed and steer me through the house by my shoulders. I closed my eyes when we left the room not wanting to see what he had done to Ben and Jeremy. Blake put me in the passenger seat of his car parked down the driveway before getting in and turning it on. The sky was dark and cloudy, looking at the clock I saw it was midnight. I curled up into the seat somewhat cold when Blake turned on the heat for me, I gave him a faint smile. “How long have I been gone? How did you find me?” I whispered fiddling with the cuff of his jacket. “I came to the den after Eve called me about Aaron who had failed to inform me that he had been shot. When I got there you were missing so I was talking to Aaron when he told me about the wolves and what you had told him. You have been gone for almost a week Rosalyn and how I found you was through what you told Aaron.”
“Is he… Grace told me… is Aaron… dead?” I stuttered and Blake looked over at me before placing a hand on my cheek in a fatherly way. “No sweetheart, Aaron is not dead. Kicking himself for not being able to help me look for you, but not dead.”
“Did they hurt anyone else?”
“No,”
I nodded before sighing and closing my eyes as I sunk back into the chair. “Can you tell me what they did? It will be easier if I can report back to your mother while you get Michel to look at some things then go to sleep.” Blake suggested and I sighed again before running my hand through my hair carefully not to mess with my cuts. “The took me, drugged me with something. I can’t remember much about what happened, they beat me a lot… Jeremy forced himself on me a lot too. They tied me up and cut my hair, taunted me and made me their play thing.”
“How often is a lot?” he asked sounding like Derek. “Five or six times that I am aware of. The drug clouded my memory.”
“GHB no doubt,” Blake murmured before making a left turn where we normally made a right to go home. “Where are we going?” I asked watching as we drew closer to the small strip mall we have in Dullsville. “This will just take a second,” he told me pulling into a parking spot in front of the pharmacy. I watched him as he turned the car off and opened his door but locked me inside. The pharmacy was open from seven am to midnight but it was twenty after and the lights didn’t look to promising. A guy my age was at the front about to lock the doors when Blake met him. I cracked the window slightly to listen to why we were here. “Sorry, the store is closed.” I heard the guy say. Blake sighed before reading the name tag on his vest. “Eric right?”
“Yeah? Why?”
“Listen, can you do me a favour. My daughter’s in the car over there,” he paused to point at me, I could feel my cheeks flush when Eric squinted to see me in the dark. I waved trying to seem like I didn’t know what was going on, Eric waved back. “She’s pretty but why does it involve me?” he asked Blake looking back at him. “Well you see, her boyfriend wasn’t as nice as we all thought he was, did terrible things to her,” he paused to give him a look my guess giving him the idea of what happened. “Oh, poor girl.”
“Here’s were you come in. She’s only seventeen, Eric. Too young to have this moron’s baby if it happens. Can I just go in and find a pill for her to take?”
“Yeah, sure but you need to stay here,” he said before leaving Blake outside of the store as he slipped inside. It was a good minute or two before Eric came back with a small box in his hand and handed it to Blake. “Free of charge, no one needs to go through that. What a fool this boyfriend is.” Eric spat the last part out. Blake rested his hand on his shoulder as a thank you. “You’re a life saver Eric, thank you.” Blake said before turning on his heal and heading back to the car where he unlocked it and tossed me the box. “Can you dry swallow pills?” he asked me as he put the seat belt back on. “Yeah,” I muttered tearing the box open to find this purple tube of a pill. Pulling out of the parking lot I managed to down the pill and fold up the box before putting it in his pocket to throw it out later. “You are very good at lying, Blake.”
“I told the truth to that boy.”
“‘My daughter’s in the car over there’.” I quoted him and he looked over at me. “I consider you like a daughter to me, Rosalyn.” He told me and I smiled faintly. “That’s sweet of you, Blake.”
He gave me a matching smile before reaching his hand over to ruffle my hair up. “You know I’ve never seen you without curly hair before.” He admitted and I pulled down the mirror to look at myself. My hair was straight for once, no curls to be seen. It was shot enough to not touch my shoulders but long enough to cover my ears for a good two or three inches. I ran my hands through it before flipping the mirror up and looking over at Blake. “I don’t look too stupid do I?” I asked him and he grinned like Aaron does to me. “Sweetheart, your hair looks fine. I really like it this length actually.”
“Really?”
“It’ll be different for a while but yes, I do.”
We pulled up to the dark house were not a light was lit. I looked at the house before looking back at Blake. “Do you think they’ll crowd me?”
“Not if we sneak in.” Blake pointed out before helping me out of the car and was steering me by my shoulders to the house again. Quietly Blake opened the door then let me in before locking up and pointing to the stairs. I nodded before following Blake up them to where we stood in front of Victor’s old room where Mike was staying. Blake opened the door quietly then let me in before closing it and walking over to the sleeping doctor and gently woke him. Mike opened one eye and sighed before rolling over away from Blake. “Go away Blake, I’m sleeping.” He said to Blake but he rolled his eyes and tapped him again. “Michel, I need a favour.”
“If you got yourself shot go through my kit and fix it yourself Blake.”
“No, I’m not shot. It’s about Rosalyn.”
Mike’s head shot up and he turned back over to Blake before he saw me. “Rose!” he gasped but Blake covered his mouth with his hand. “Please Michel, she is very tired and needs to rest. We don’t want to wake the family quiet yet.” Blake warned Mike who nodded and was released. He leaned over and turned the light on before getting another look at me. “Good moon,” he whispered getting out of bed and sat me down to get a better look. “They’re rope burns if you’re wondering,” I mumbled when Mike took my wrist and was looking at my arms. “What have they done to you?” Mike asked looking up at me but I looked at Blake. “I can explain later, please Michel continue to look after her. Rosalyn needs to rest.” Blake said to him as he looked at the needle marks in my skin. “Blake thinks it’s GHB,” I told him when he looked up worried I had gotten myself into something terrible. “Okay, let me patch up that arm and your hands.”
“I was grazed again,” I said and Mike looked at me. “Again?”
“On my forearm this time.”
“This time?” Blake asked and I looked past Mike to him. “Grace missed a couple of times before,”
“Grace?” Mike asked as he began to clean the wounds and patch them up. “A captor,” I informed him and he nodded before saying over his shoulder to Blake “You must tell me more then this.”
“Of course,”
It was quiet as Mike finished up but then when he was done he asked “Are you okay?”
“No, but I will be.”
“Go, rest. I can get Blake to tell me what he knows.” Mike said helping me up, I hugged him quickly before Blake and slipped off into the hall. I crept down the hall and up the stairs to my room where I opened the door slowly and found Aaron sleeping. He was sprawled out on the bed tangled in bedding, clothes and pillows. He lay on his stomach like before with my pillow under his head and his on his shoulder, he lay with his head on my side but was angled so his feet were on his. I sighed as I closed the door and walked over. His skin was bare to the night air with the blankets around his hips and legs. I lay in the space he left on my side watching Aaron as he breathed until I brushed a wave of hair out of his eyes with the tips of my fingers. I could see his eyelashes starting to move before he opened his eyes slowly. He moaned in complaint before realizing who was actually lying with him. “Rose!” he gasped pulling me into him before pressing his mouth to mine kissing me. I sighed sinking into his chest and lips naturally so glad to be back with Aaron. He kissed me in his usual Aaron way, hard but oh so loving until his hand wrapped around my waist feeling Blake’s jacket. He pulled away then looked at the jacket before back at me. “Why are you wearing my father’s jacket?”
“He didn’t want me escaping naked?” I suggested and Aaron sighed before kissing me again quickly then gracefully got off the bed and to my dresser where he pulled out a large shirt of his I use to sleep in. Coming back to the bed he lay me on my back before taking the zipper in his hand but I clutched it. “No, don’t.” I said quickly and he gave me a confused look. “Darling? Are you okay?”
I reached out and touched his jaw before pressing his hand against my heart to feeling his skin. Aaron looked back at me but this time a real good look. “They cut your hair,”
I nodded yes. “They did,”
“Rose, what else did they do?”
“Let me show you, Aaron. Please don’t be loud about it.” I begged but saw the fear in his eyes. “Darling, I don’t like where this is going.”
“I was bound, Aaron. Tightly.” I said before unzipping the jacket and pulled it off to show him my burns. Aaron gasped at the sight of them before his hand reached out and touched them softly from my wrist to my shoulder, down my breast to my abdomen, from my hip to my thigh when he asked “Why?”
“Aaron,” I whispered sitting up quickly putting his shirt on before crawling into his lap wanting to be held. He caught the message and held me tightly against his body before kissing the top of my head. “They hurt you didn’t they?”
“They took something I’ll never get back.” I corrected him and he tensed up. “How many times?”
“Six, that I’m aware of.”
“Aware of?” Aaron asked getting worried. “Blake thinks I was drugged with GHB or something.”
Aaron laid me on my back again so I was looking up at him when he smoothed my hair softly. Our gazes met before Aaron touched my lips with the tips of his fingers. “Are you going to be okay?” he asked me and I nodded yes before taking his hand and squeezing it. “After I rest, I’ll be perfect.”
Carefully Aaron slipped under me so I was lying on his chest with his arms around me tightly. “You scared me so much, darling.” He whispered fingering my new hair. “I was so scared, Aaron.” I whispered back. “Don’t go without me anymore, I can’t have this happen to you again.”
“Okay, I promise.”
He gave me a squeeze then kissed the top of my head again as he adjusted the blankets to wrap around our bodies. When he stopped moving I closed my eyes and cuddled closer to him. “Aaron,” I whispered softly into his chest. “Uh hmm?” he murmured back messaging my back up and down absently. “When I was taken, there was something I thought I was never going to tell you again.” I said rubbing my cheek against his chest. “What’s that, darling?” he whispered pausing his hands from rubbing my back. “I thought I was never going to be able to tell you I love you anymore,”
Aaron kissed my forehead. “I love you too, wolf girl.”

Thank yeah dear.
