Sams's POV

He'd have to tell Bella about the mark on her neck - that was already healing thanks to his wolf and the meaning behind it!

Shit, he'd been in such good control as well... But seeing her wake up and then the events that followed when she touched him down there... he lost control. He's only grateful he didn't hurt her or else he'd never forgive himself.

They both got up reluctantly and Bella did kick up a fuss when he refused to let her shower. His wolf was adamant about that. He allowed her to wash her hair but kept his arms wrapped around her waist which wasn't a good idea with both of them being butt naked. His wolf wasn't completely cruel his wolf had gotten a wash cloth after the second round to make her more comfortable.

But he wasn't as willing to allow her to wash him away when she's about to walk into the devils den. His woman did put up a bit of a fight which led to him telling her the reasons why.

Which is how he ended up sitting on his - their sofa in his, no their living room with his arms wrapped tightly around her waist keeping her locked in place as he studied her face, and the different emotions that passed through her chocolate orbs.

And then she burst out laughing, which shocked him to the core and had his wolf pawing at the floor of his cage.

"Bella, baby?" He said hesitantly after her laughing/giggling fit calmed down and she sat their staring at him wide-eyed.

"Prove it." She whispered. Sam raised an eyebrow, and felt his lips twitch a bit.

"Which one?" He asked her. Bella full on glared at him.

"The wolf part... I believe the imprint description but the wolf..." she giggled again and for a moment he wondered about her sanity and state of mind. Had he overloaded her?

Sam lifted them both up and placed Bella on the sofa telling her to stay still. He stood up and walked back a distance instantly feeling the loss of his woman and he could see the same discomfort he felt in her eyes.

"Is it always going to be like this?" She whispered.

"I honestly don't know Bella." He whispered back. His thumbs digging into the waist band of his jeans. She'd already accepted him and her declaration last night now she had to see the real him, the man and the wolf and surprisingly accepted her new status on top of everything else.

He watched as her eyes drifted over his half naked form and eyes widening as she saw where his thumbs rested.

"What are you doing?" Sam raised an eyebrow.

"Surly you're not embarrassed now? Not after all we shared?" He said incredulously and moved quickly before she could protest and stood proudly in front of her in all his glory - hard and ready for her and only her already.

He smirked subtly as he saw her hand twitch as her eyes glued to his proud man-hood standing attention before closing his eyes and morphing into a huge black wolf.

He opened one eye to see her jaw dropped and her eyes wide.

"S-Sa-Sam?" She stuttered in utter shock. He opened his other eye and rose to his full height surprised he could even fit in their small but comfortable living room.

He moved towards her and sat down placing his head in her lap and looked up at her.

He'd been so focused on Bella that he'd forgotten about Paul being on patrol. His laughter rang out in his head and he growled instantly regretting it when Bella shied away when her hand was inches away from touching his fur.

"SOD OFF PAUL" - Sam.

"Sorry, sorry! It's just... hilarious" - Paul.

"I'll put you on double patrol if you don't shut up" - Sam.

"Fine. Chill out bro. I'm glad she's accepted it and the council's rules of marking an imprint being marriage and all that mumbo jumbo bullshit they come up with that we have to suffer through. I hope I never imprint as I don't want to turn into a girl like you and Jared." - Paul.

"Double patrol, no make that triple patrol and you can have a full day. I'm sure Jared would say the same. We aren't girls Paul... You just wait... and then we'll see who's laughing." - Sam.

Sam phased before Paul could object and was kneeling naked before his woman with her hand touching his head, frozen.

As gasp left her beautiful lips and she slowly lowered herself down before him as she touched his face and exploring his body after the phase. His wolf purred in content.

"It's true?" She whispered after what felt like an eternity to Sam. As she looked up at him through her naturally long dark eyelashes, that would be the envy of any woman, who has to apply make-up to look good.

"It's true. I'd never lie to you Bella, what I said before is all true. The legends and imprinting..." He trailed off.

Bella surprised him by grabbing hold of his face and kissing him, taking him off guard and causing him to topple backwards - him the alpha male caught off guard by his very human woman.

They never did make it to Forks that day.

- Forks, is defo up next involving an angry Charlie and a confused Bella. Possibly a new wolf.
