Sam POV
It's hard when you have a job that requires you to work basically nonstop. Don't get me wrong, I love the feeling of keeping my community safe. However, being alpha requires me to lead all of the other pack members. The other guys are able to take turns patrolling, but I am always out. I love my job as a leader and a protector, but I wish I had more time off to spend with Emily. I live for Emily, and even though I am protecting her by being away from her, it physically hurts me not to have time with her. I'm glad that the guys are covering for me tonight. Tonight is all about me and my beautiful goddess, Emily. I was just about to sit next to my love when I heard something. What the hell is going on? Don't they know tonight is for just me and my woman? I didn't have time to excuse myself to see what was going on; Seth practically broke our door off its hinges. Honestly, I didn't care what he wanted. All I wanted was for him to get out of my house. But then I heard his voice...

"SAM!" He said it with urgency, but his voice was broken. Emily and I shot up out of our seats to meet him. He looked like he had just been hit by ten trucks and lived. He looked terrible. Emily let out a gasp, which drew my attention to what was in his arms. He held a young teenage girl. If I couldn't hear her weak heartbeat with my strong ears, I would've thought she was dead. She was naked and bloody. Her body had bruises all over it and she was turning blue.

"I didn't get there in time. Call Carlisle! Hurry!" He said in a pained voice that I could barely recognize. Emily ran to the living room and made the call. Seth started pacing with impatience and frustration.

"Seth, you need to calm down and explain to us what has happened." By this time, Emily was back with a large blanket to wrap the girl in.

"Carlisle is on his way. She is freezing, give her to me Seth." She said extending her arms with the blanket. Seth took a step back.

"N-no." He choked out, tightening his grip on her.

"Seth," I said sternly in my alpha voice. "Give her to Emily, and explain to us what's going on." Seth hesitated but reluctantly handed the girl to Emily. Emily wrapped her in the blanket tightly and started to walk to the family room. Seth was quick on her heals. After Emily laid the girl on the couch, Seth kneeled beside her.

"Seth..." I began. We waited a few moments, and then Seth began.

"I was running patrol with the guys when I heard a scream from a couple miles away. I was the closest one so I said I would check it out. From the scent I was picking up, I knew that it wasn't a vampire so I didn't call for back up. As I got closer, the sound of screaming was replaced with sobs and further in the distance I could hear a car engine starting. By the time I got there, all that was left was her, naked and dying. I changed back quickly and started to approach her. She thought I was someone else because she said 'Please. I'll do whatever you want, just please don't hurt me. Please.' When she realized I wasn't the person she thought I was, she looked up and met my eyes." He paused to look down at her before he continued, but I knew what was coming next.

"It felt like that moment lasted forever. I completely forgot about the terrible state that she was in. It was as if I was lost before and I didn't know it until I found myself in her. I had never felt so much adoration and want for someone in my life. She is perfection, and for a split second I didn't even think she was real; she was too gorgeous and perfect to have to live in this cruel world. But soon I saw the tears in her deep blue eyes, and they brought me back to reality. I tore my eyes from hers and examined her and the area. Her body had bloody scratches and bruises everywhere. Her clothes were to the side of her, ripped to shreds, and muddy. I was completely horrified by the sight, and when I saw that..." He paused and his face scrunched up as the memory came back to him. "…condom wrapper next to her clothes, it threw my over the edge. I couldn't stand the idea of someone taking advantage of her. She is an angel. What kind of sick bastard would think of touching something so precious?" By this point he was shaking. I laid my hand on his shoulder.

"Calm down, Seth. You wouldn't want to do anything stupid." I warned. He looked back at her and calmed down immediately.

"Yeah. You're right." He paused, and then continued his story.

"I was so disgusted by the thought I threw up. I wanted so badly to hunt down that pervert and kill him, but I knew that I could never leave her alone and that if I didn't act soon she could die. So I brought her here."

"Why didn't you bring her directly to Carlisle?" Emily questioned.

"Are you kidding! One of the vampires could have lost control! For God's sake, she's dripping with blood! They could have killed her!"

I didn't like the tone he was using towards my Emily, but I wasn't going to say anything to make matters worse. At first I thought it was strange for Seth to act this way. Seth had become good friends with the Cullen's, especially Edward. However, after thinking about it, I realized that he was right. Why would anyone take the risk of bringing their imprint into possible danger?

Just then, Carlisle arrived. I let him in and he immediately began examining the girl. Seth never left her side. He hovered protectively over her. Seth was pretty much in the way, but Carlisle either didn't notice or didn't mind.

"She's lost some blood, not a lot, just enough to make her pass out. Her wounds aren't deep enough for stitches, but I will bandage them tightly and the pressure should stop the bleeding. She will need a lot of rest in order to recover, and she will need plenty of fluids when she wakes up. I am going to take a semen sample from her so that we can find the man responsible for this crime. It is very important that you keep a close eye on her. Her condition shouldn't get worse, but if it does we will need to take immediate action." Carlisle said, stepping away from the girl as Seth moved closer to her.

"No problem." Seth replied, his eyes never leaving the girl. "She won't be leaving my sight...ever."

Carlisle left after the bandages were wrapped tightly around the girl. We all thanked him. When he was gone, Emily ran upstairs to grab clothes for the girl. After Emily dressed her, she went upstairs to bed. Seth stayed by the girl's side, stroking her hair. He continued to whisper saying, "Don't worry, you will be ok. No one will ever hurt you again. I promise." Although it sounded more like he was reassuring himself. I smiled at him and went upstairs to join Emily. Seth remained where he was all night, hoping that the girl would recover quickly.
