Chap 14
- Jared POV -
Paul and I carried Sam upstairs once we arrived at his and Mione's place. Mione raced ahead of us making sure there were enough covers and what not on the bed.
"Should we go grab the doctor vamp?" Paul asked as we carefully put Sam on the bed. Just as we rested him down, his body shifted and Sam was lying unconscious in front of us.
"Can you guys just put some sleep pants on him and I'll grab my things. I should be able to heal it no problem," Mione said softly. I could only imagine the pain she was feeling at the time.
We slipped Sam's pants on him and Paul and I kissed Mione's cheek before leaving her alone with our alpha.
"How is Mione?" Kim asked as we entered the kitchen. I walked over to her and wrapped her in a tight hug.
"Not good baby. She's hurting right now and she is going to try and heal him," I explained.
"Knowing Mione, she will blame this on herself," Draco said.
"I'll cook her some soup then Seth, you can take it up to her," Sue said as she started moving around the kitchen.
"Seth, make sure you stay up there until she has eaten the majority of the soup. She will try and refuse but make sure she does," Blaise explained. Seth nodded and waited for the soup to be made.
One hour later we watched and listened as Seth took the soup from Sue up to Mione. We heard the bedroom door open then close.
20 minutes later Seth had not returned yet which we took as a good sign.
Another ten minutes passed and Seth walked down the stairs with an empty bowl.
"Wow, you got her to eat the whole bowl. I'm impressed," Draco said.
"I said that Sam would want her to eat and keep up her health," Seth said.
We looked at the stairs hoping and praying that our alphas would be ok.
- Sam POV -
Pain. Immense pain. That was all I could feel. My limbs were heavy but my veins felt like they were on fire.
Every so often I felt something cold shoot through me that would soothe the burn but it wouldn't last long.
I could hear my angel's voice and it was quite soothing but sometimes she would disappear and I would call out to her.
I felt the pain begin to subside and I could soon make out the sounds around me.
I opened my eyes and noticed the room I was in was quite bright. I closed my eyes tightly before opening them again and letting them adjust to the light. I could smell and hear Mya somewhere in the room and I tried to lift my head.
Pain shot through me and I hissed. I heard movement and felt a cool hand on my forehead.
"Sam?" Mya whispered. My eyes focused and I found myself gazing into her gorgeous, chocolate eyes.
"Hey baby. It's nice to see your eyes," Mya whispered. Her hand left my head and I whimpered. Her hand was replaced with a wet cloth that soothed me just as well.
"You have a bad fever baby caused by the venom. The venom had started to spread to your heart and other organs. We almost lost you twice baby. I could feel you leaving and it hurt so damn much," Mya whispered. I could see the tears welling in her eyes and I tried to lift my hand to wipe them away but I couldn't.
"Don't move baby. There is still some venom in your system. We have been purging your system for four days now," Mya said.
Four days! Wow. I had been unconsciousness for four days. I had spent four days away from Mya.
"I'm going to give you an injection that should help remove the rest of the venom," Mya said. I watched as she prepared a syringe and walked back over to the bed. I didn't feel it enter my skin but I felt something cool flow through my still burning veins.
"Sleep baby. I'll be here when you wake up. I promise," I heard Mya say before I fell back into blackness.
- Hermione POV -
I sat by Sam's bedside for the whole time he was unconscious. I only left to have a shower or go to the toilet. Sue made sure all my meals were brought up to me and she also helped with the boys.
"I'm sorry about my attitude boys," I said to Brady and Colin one day as we sat by Sam eating lunch.
"It's ok. We understand. Jared explained to us about how deep the imprinting bond goes," Brady said comfortingly.
"I promise, once he is better, everything will get back to normal," I said softly.
The boys hugged me tightly and took our empty plates downstairs. Sam's fever had broken the night before and the final venom had left his system so now we were just waiting for him to wake up.
He moaned and I looked over at him.
"Hey baby," I whispered as his eyes opened.
"Hey," he said hoarsely before coughing from the dryness of his throat. I fed him some water slowly and kissed his head.
"How are you feeling?" I asked him as I sat down on the bed. I felt his hand rest on my knee and I laced our fingers.
"Like I've been hit by a truck," Sam whispered.
"You had me petrified honey," I whispered. I felt Sam tugging lightly on my hand and I leant down and his lips were pressed desperately to mine.
Once Sam and I separated, I wrapped my arms around him gently and hugged him.
"I'm sorry baby. What happened?" Sam asked me.
"A vampire bite babe. Remember? That group of vamps and wizards attacked all of us," I said.
"Yep, I remember now. Are you ok? You didn't get hurt did you?" Sam said. He tried to look me up and down but he hissed as he tried to sit up.
"Sam, I'm fine. It's nothing I couldn't handle," I said. I kissed his forehead just as Brady and Colin walked into the room. They saw Sam awake and raced over to the bed to hug him.
"We were worried Sam. The whole pack is," Brady said.
"I'll be right back. I've got to ring Billy," I said. I started to get up off the bed but Sam grabbed my arm.
"I'll only be gone a few minutes then I'll be back. I promise babe. Brady and Colin will be here and I'll be back before you know it," I said. I pressed my lips to his and pulled my arm away gently. I walked downstairs and grabbed the phone.
I dialed Billy's number and also grabbed some chicken soup Sue had made from the fridge and began heating it on the stove.
"Hello?" A voice said that I identified as Jake.
"Hey Jake. Are the pack there?" I asked as I stirred the soup.
"Yep. Hold on. Ok, you're on loud speaker now," Jake said.
"Mione, is Sam ok?" Jared asked.
"He is. He just woke up. You guys can come over if you want," I said. I waved my hand over the soup because I was getting impatient. It was ready and the perfect temperature so Sam wouldn't burn his mouth.
"We'll be there in five," Billy said. I hung up the phone and put the soup into a bowl. I grabbed a spoon and started walking back upstairs to the bedroom.
When I walked into the room, Sam immediately snapped his head towards me and inhaled my scent.
"Brady, Colin, could you guys wait downstairs please. Billy and the pack will be here soon," I said. They nodded and walked back downstairs. I put the soup on the bedside table and helped Sam to sit up.
I rested the bowl on his lap and with his good arm, he started gulping down the soup.
"Hey man," I heard Jared say. I looked over and noticed the pack was all standing in the entrance to the bedroom.
"Come in guys," I said. They flooded in and took up positions around the room.
"How are you feeling?" Jared asked. I moved the now empty soup bowl over to the bedside table and clutched Sam's hand.
"I've definitely been better," Sam answered. I squeezed his hand tightly and felt him squeeze back.
"Understandable. Dude, you've been out for five days. You've never slept this long ever," Paul said.
"Did you get them all?" Sam asked.
"Three of the wizards got away but we got all the leeches," Jake explained.
"Good. Alright boys, Leah. We need to increase patrol. I want to make sure that no more leeches or wizards hurt Mya," Sam said. He tried to sit up and swing his legs off the bed but Jared and I pushed him back. "I've gotta get up. I'm going to help."
"No you aren't. You are still injured and until I am sure you are healthy, you are not phasing," I ordered.
"Mya, I have to. I'm the alpha," Sam protested. I noticed the boys and Leah stepped back and all of them, Elders included were grinning.
"As am I Sam and right now, I have the upper hand as I am not the one who is bed ridden. You will not be getting out of this bed until I say so," I demanded. We all watched in awe as Sam bowed his head and lay back down.
"I think I'm really gunna love having you as alpha female Mione," Paul said with a grin.
"Shut up Paul," Sam said and I giggled. He then turned and directed his next question at me "May I give orders from bed?"
"You may," I said. Sam smiled and shook his head before kissing me.
"Ok, Jared, you are in charge until Mya says I'm allowed to phase. During patrols I want one person circling the forest around this house then I want the other person patrolling the Forks border," Sam said.
"I can ask Carlisle and his family to keep an eye out in Forks. They are moving back here," I said.
"We will have to renegotiate the treaty considering Bella and Blaise are up there and also because Mione is friends with them," Billy said. Sam nodded and tightened his grip on my hand. His face was scrunched in pain and he was breathing sharply.
"Sam, burning or stabbing?" I asked.
"Burning. My shoulder," He hissed out. I walked over to the desk and grabbed a jar of cream that was used for burns and bites.
"Jared, Paul, hold him down. This will hurt. Sam, this cream will sting at first but then it will cool down," I said. Sam nodded and I watched as he clenched his teeth together.
Jared and Paul held Sam down gently and I scooped some of the cream into my hand. I rubbed it over the bite and flinched as Sam did. He started to squirm but the boys held him down. To help ease the stinging, I blew on his shoulder gently.
"Are you ok baby?" I asked once he seemed to relax.
"Much better. It doesn't burn anymore," Sam explained.
"Good. Now, I suggest you get back to sleep. I need to talk to Blaise and the boys and also Kings," I said. I kissed Sam on the lips and we all walked out of the room.

"HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? HOW COULD YOU NOT BRING HER TO ME? IT WAS AN EASY TASK - KIDNAP THE MUDBLOOD AND BRING HER TO ME! HOW HARD IS THAT?" I demanded as three men groveled at my feet.
"We are terribly sorry milord. It seems the mudblood has aligned herself with wolves and vampires," one man said.
"Yes, she did have a habit of mixing with vermin," I mused as I stroked the arm of my chair. "What of Andre?"
"Dead milord. One of the wolves got him," another man said.
"Shame, he was quite an asset and he did desperately desire to destroy Miss. Granger," I said.
"We did notice one thing," one man said and my interest was piqued.
"Speak," I hissed.
"Well milord, one of the wolves seemed exceptionally close to the mudblood. He was the first to step forward when Andre spoke to the mudblood and when he was injured, she rushed to his side and didn't leave. It also seems that some of the muggle girls that were with them were just as close to other wolves," the third explained.
"I will excuse your failure this one time but never again. Now leave," I said. They stood, bowed and practically ran out of my throne room.
"Soon Miss. Granger. Very soon," I whispered.
- Sam POV -
After a week, Mya said I was able to get out of bed but I would have to wait a few more days before I could phase again.
"Mya, I'm home," I called out as I hung up my gun belt and opened up my shirt.
"In the kitchen," I heard my girl's beautiful voice call out. I listened to the house and noticed Brady and Colin weren't around.
I entered the kitchen and smiled. Mya was busy preparing something on the stove that smelt delicious. I walked over to her and wrapped my arms tightly around her waist. I pulled her back slightly into my chest and kissed her neck.
"Hello," I whispered into her shoulder.
"Hey handsome," she said. "How was work?"
"Pretty good. Charlie and I just had to check out a break in at a shop in Forks but that was it. Where are the boys?" I asked.
"Down at the beach. They are helping Sue set up for the bonfire. You should probably have a shower and get changed," Mya said.
"Ok. Love you," I said before kissing her on the shoulder and walking upstairs to the shower.
After the shower I watched as Mya pulled lasagna out of the oven followed by a pasta bake and a potato bake.
"Smells great babe. I don't think I want to go to the bonfire and share this food, or you as a matter of fact," I said as I pulled her to me and kissed her firmly on the lips.
"Come on Sam. We've gotta get going. I know you don't want to but it will be fun and you know it," Mya said with a grin.
I groaned and said "fine" before Mya kissed me again. I helped her carry the food out to the truck before I lifted her up and in and then got into the driver's side.
When we arrived at the beach a few minutes later we realised the bonfire was in full swing. Mya and I grabbed the food and we walked down to the bonfire.
"Hey Mione, Sam," Sue said from behind the table where the food was. She walked around and hugged both of us.
"Hey Sue. Here, I made these," Mya said. We handed her the dishes and walked over to where everyone was dancing.
We danced for a while before heading over and grabbing some food. We all sat around the fire and listened to Billy as he told one of our stories. After the story while the Elders and Charlie talked, the rest of us danced. I wrapped my arms around Mya and pulled her to me as we danced. We both felt her shorts begin to vibrate and Mya pulled her phone out of her pocket.
"Hello?" She said as she walked away from us.
We couldn't hear her conversation but I turned the music off as her facial expressions changed.
"Thanks Ed," we heard her say before she raced over to us. She grabbed Blaise, Draco and Fred and whispered something to them in Italian. They nodded and they all changed into their animal forms. Blaise and Draco ushered all of us into a tight group before changing back whilst Mya and Fred grabbed the Elders, Charlie and Sue and put them in our little circle.
"Fred, you've got Kim, Blaise, Draco, you've got Sue. I'll take Bella," Mya said after she changed back. The four of them jumped into action and pulled the three girls in question to their sides.
"Mione, what's going on?" Bella asked.
"Bella, ask questions later," Mya said shortly. I watched as Mya's back tensed up and she drew her wand from the back of her pants.
Suddenly, a huge explosion occurred and the ground shook. We all hit the ground as a dark cloud of smoke came towards us.
"Keep a firm hold on the girls!" Mya called out. We saw their wands light up and point to make sure the girls were ok.
Blaise and Draco said something in Latin before the smoke cleared. We all picked ourselves up from the ground and helped others up. We looked over at the four wizards and noticed they were in fighting stance with Sue, Bella and Kim sitting on the ground behind them.
"You got lucky Mudblood but be warned. It will be you, or them!" A voice called from in the woods. Mya nodded to Blaise and Fred who, after depositing Kim to Draco, ran into the woods.
"You three ok?" Mya asked. Sue, Bella and Kim nodded but seemed to be shaking. Mya helped Bella and Sue to stand before they raced towards their respective wolves. Jake and Jared held their girls tight and kissed their heads whilst Harry, Seth and Leah pulled Sue into a protective circle.
Blaise and Fred emerged from the forest looking grim.
"You may want to see this Mione," Blaise said.
Mya nodded and turned to Draco. "Make sure they stay here. Fred, you stay with him, Blaise, lead the way."
I watched my imprint walk into the woods and I felt her fear.
-Mione POV -
Blaise led me into the woods to a clearing and I gasped. Lying in the clearing was a dead wolf with a large knife sticking out of its side. I walked over when I realised that there was a piece of paper between the wolf and the knife. I pulled the knife out and grabbed the bloody paper.
Today was just a warm up mudblood. You're next. Prepare yourself - a new dark lord has risen.
"Mione?" Blaise questioned.
"We need to make sure that the pack remains safe," I said. Blaise took the letter and read it quickly.
"Fred and Drake are leaving in the morning. They can take this to the Order," Blaise said.
"For now, don't tell them," I said as I indicated back to where the pack was.
Blaise nodded and I waved my wand and buried the poor wolf. I grabbed the knife and letter and we headed back to the others.

"It's done master," one man said as he groveled at my feet.
"Good. Did you leave our little gift?" I asked.
"Yes milord," he said again.
"Good. Leave now," I commanded. Once he was gone, I stood up and walked over to the window. I looked out over the rolling countryside and smirked.
Soon, she will be mine or she will watch everyone she loves die!
Hey guys. I've had a few people mention that I eluded to the fact Remus was dead when I compared Sam's wolf form to an old friend. I think I mentioned in one of the last couple of chapters but if not, I meant that Sam looks like Sirius in his wolf form not Remus. Only because Sam is a large black wolf. Hope this clears that up.
