CHAPTER FOURTEEN

Summary: Hermione is running. She is running from rogue Death Eaters bent on revenge, the fame that surrounds her after the war and an overbearing ex-boyfriend and his mother, insisting that they marry, regardless of her ex being a cheating weasel. She finds a quiet town in the States and meets a handsome young man, one that gives her a new outlook on life and a new love. The kind of love she had craved.

Seth had stayed with the pack watching The Cullens practice their fighting skills, but once Hermione had left he had fallen quiet. The rest of the pack retreated back into the trees but kept an eye on the situation in case anyone tried to escape. Seth phased into his wolf form and stood in front of the man that was chained up, baring his teeth at him and snarling. Minutes later when he heard footsteps he looked up at the aurors that had been watching the other men and then he turned and ran back into the woods, hearing the pack's laughter at their shocked faces, and they must've known vampires were nearby as they waved their wands and the smell of blood suddenly disappeared.

Since then he simply laid on the ground for three hours, watching The Cullens but not paying attention, his every thought was about Hermione and the rest of the pack did their best to let him have some solitude, though with the mind link it was difficult. They could feel his pain and it was hard for them to ignore it and concentrate on watching The Cullens.

When the three hours were up, Seth had barely looked at the rest of the pack before he ran straight to Hermione's tent, hoping he'd see her there after seeing how quickly her last injuries had healed with the help of magic.

He entered her tent and when he couldn't smell, see or hear her presence he whined and made his way to her bedroom. He jumped up onto her bed and laid down, surrounded by her scent, waiting for her to return.

He had fallen asleep and when he heard a 'crack' his eyes opened and he jumped up off the bed and ran out of the bedroom excitedly, when he saw that it was Harry that entered the tent, he deflated and made his way back to her bedroom, once more laying down on Hermione's bed.

Harry entered the bedroom watching Seth cautiously.

"If she knew you were on her bed, she'd probably kill you," Harry warned, having no idea that he and Hermione sat on her bed together regularly. "Hermione hates dogs, she was bitten by one when she was eight," that news surprised Seth, but he didn't react, just continued to stare at Harry.

Harry sighed and seeing that he wasn't going to respond he spoke.

"Listen, Hermione's explained a little about her relationship with you, not enough to invade your privacy but just enough for me to understand what's going on. The gist of it is Hermione's your life mate, yeah?" Seth blinked at him, but otherwise didn't move. "That's what I thought. Now I've seen the way a mate bonding such as this works so I understand how protective you are of Hermione, but you have to be careful that your protectiveness of her doesn't hurt her. I've spoken to the healers and I got Hermione to the hospital in time and although her injuries weren't too severe, they could've been made worse by you preventing me from taking her to the hospital," Harry spoke, and Seth felt shame and guilt fill him.

"Now that I've gotten that out of the way, Hermione hasn't yet gained consciousness, but the healers say that Hermione has a broken arm which should be healed by tomorrow, her lacerations should also be healed by tomorrow with the slightly deeper ones healed by the following day. She had a severe burn on her back which will take a little time to heal, a week or so. She has several deep tissue bruises which can take anywhere from two days up to a week to heal, depending on Hermione's health and her magical core. Her most troubling injury is that she has been bitten twice by an Alpha werewolf. Luckily it's not the full moon so Hermione will not be infected by Lycanthropy, but since the full moon is less than a week away and it was an Alpha that bit her, the werewolf venom is stronger. Therefore it will take longer for them to flush the venom out of her system and once recovered, she may take on a few lupine traits, anything to preferring raw meat at the full moon to increased senses such as eyesight, hearing, smell, speed and taste. She will have to stay in hospital for a couple of days as she has to be monitored, aside from that, she should be fine. It's just a waiting game now."

Hope filled Seth at the news but so did longing; he wanted his Hermione with him now.

"I better get home and fill out the reports," Harry said and then he turned to leave. "I think this goes without saying, you hurt her and I'll end you, as will the rest of her family, the twins, Charlie, Bill, we're all very protective of her. And don't even get me started on Ginny Weasley, frightening doesn't even come close," Harry shivered and then left the bedroom, leaving Seth alone to his thoughts.

'How's she doing then?' Jacob's voice entered his mind, as he was doing patrols with Quil.

'She'll be in hospital for a few days to be monitored since they have to flush out the werewolf venom from her system, but she should be fine.' He answered.

'That's good to hear,' he said and meaning it, 'will she be a werewolf herself?'

'No, it wasn't a full moon but she may take on some lupine traits, better hearing, sight, smell, things like that.'

'She's practically one of us.'

'Practically, she scares me more than Sam.' Quil entered his mind, both Jacob and Seth snorted.

'Yeah, that girl of yours sure is something,' Jacob said.

'I don't know what I did to deserve her,' Seth spoke. 'I miss her.'

'She'll be with you again soon.'

Wednesday 7th June 2006

Hermione was losing her mind, for four days she had been kept prisoner at St. Helena's and she just wanted to go home. She missed her bed, she missed eating her own food, she had research she needed to continue with, she knew she would have owls waiting for her back at the tent, but most importantly, she was exhausted and she missed Seth.

She missed seeing him in her dreams. She missed his heartbeat lulling her into a peaceful sleep. She missed his overly hot body heat keeping her warm as she slept. She missed his curious questions and his laughter of disbelief as she answered them. She just missed him and she wanted to go home.

She had been pestering the healers for days, to the point of Harry been contacted and asked to come to the hospital to speak to her about her badgering of the healers. Of course Harry did nothing but laugh at her scowl and her childish crossing of the arms and she fumed in silence, but he was good company. He port keyed over after his shift at work and he would spend a couple of hours with her every day. He informed her of the goings on of the Wizarding community of London, he kept her up to date with Fred and George's new products, with Bill and Fleur's pregnancy, with Ginny's preparations for graduation and they just talked.

Hermione had blushed to her roots when Harry had brought up the topic of Seth and seeing her reaction he spent a good ten minutes laughing at her expense, but she would return the favour. Harry was very supportive of her thoughts and feelings and although he was happy that she was happy, he did tell her that he had threatened Seth, which made her laugh. Harry, an average height teenager with a slim seeker's build, threatening Seth, a six-foot-one giant with muscles and strength in abundance, she knew what Harry was capable of power wise, of course she did, but she still found it funny.

"Miss Granger, how are you feeling today?" Healer Baldwin asked her as he walked into the private room she had been given, due to her status of course, which she had complained about, much to the amusement of Harry.

Healer Baldwin was a young wizard, approximately in his early twenties, he stood at six-foot, with mousy blonde hair and bright blue eyes, a small nose and sun-tanned skin and he was overly kind with Hermione, once again, much to the amusement of Harry.

Hermione wasn't blind to his flirtatious comments, nor was she blind to how handsome he was, she just wasn't interested in his advances, not when she now had Seth in her life, it amazed her how quickly Seth had integrated himself into her life, into her thoughts and her decisions.

"I feel perfectly fine, which is what I've been telling you for the last three bloody days," she scowled at him and crossed her arms.

He chuckled at her. "Well the tests said otherwise," he replied. "Now, your lacerations have fully healed and I'm happy with the lack of scaring and infection, your broken arm has healed quite nicely, it may be tender for a few days though, just be careful not to lift anything too heavy. As for your burn, a few more coatings of Burn Salve should have it cleared up in the next three days, but there will be some scaring."

"It sounds like you're finally letting me out of detainment," she said, sitting up straighter and unfolding her arms, a hopeful tone to her voice.

He smirked at her choice of words. "I have a few tests to run, the results will depend on whether you can leave today or if you have to remain here for a few more days." She made a noise of disagreement.

"If I have to stay here any longer, you'll have an escapee patient on your hands," she promised him and he chuckled.

"I suppose we better run these tests and find out whether you can leave freely by walking out of the door or fleeing by climbing out of the window." He said, holding his wand and casting the appropriate spells, humming and tutting as he did so.

"So, the verdict?" Hermione asked the last result of the tests disappeared and he stepped back.

"The werewolf venom is completely clear of your system, providing that you apply the Burn Salve I will prescribe you and you refrain from lifting heavy items for the next few days, I'm happy in the decision to discharge you."

"Finally," Hermione sighed in relief and he laughed at her. "I'll prepare the discharge forms for you, in the mean time you may change, I'll be back shortly."

"Thank you," she all but jumped out of bed and he chuckled as he walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.

Hermione went over to the bag of clothing Harry had collected from her tent for her, she found a towel and her wash products and she went into her private bathroom. She quickly showered, washed and dried, before slipping on a pair of light washed blue skinny jeans, a white vest top with a dark denim shirt on top and left open and a pair of black heeled ankle boots, adding a little to her height. She brushed her hair the best she could, leaving her curls to flow down her back and she brushed her teeth.

By the time she exited the bathroom, Healer Baldwin entered the room and they went through the forms with Hermione signing where she needed to. She took the Burn Salve from him and put it into her bag and she was ready to leave.

"Well, I'm sad to see you go," he said with a charming smile.

"The rest of the hospital staff disagree," she replied and he chuckled, knowing she was right.

"So, now that you're discharged you're no longer my patient, we should go out for a drink sometime, I could show you around Wizarding Washington, what do you say?"

"I can't, I'm sorry," she said giving him an apologetic look.

"Why not?" he frowned, obviously he wasn't used to being turned down by a woman.

"I have a boyfriend," it tumbled out of her mouth before she could stop it.

"I read in the papers that you and Weasley are no longer together."

"And we're not because he's a lying, cheating arsehole," she told him and he raised an eyebrow at that. "But there's someone else and we're in the stages of a new relationship." He nodded, but he didn't look convinced. "Well I better go, sorry for being a pain in the arse, if the other healers would've given me a book like I asked for, I wouldn't have been so bored and resorted to badgering tactics. Thank you for taking good care of me," she said with a smile and then she left the room with her bag in hand and wand in pocket, heading to the hospital entrance so she could apparate to her tent.

Hermione entered the tent to see that nothing was out of place, she took her clothing to her bedroom and put the clean clothing away and the dirty clothing in the washing basket. She noticed that the bed covers were more rumpled than she remembered them being and she assumed that Seth had been back to the tent at some point, she felt guilty for worrying him.

She had a couple of owls waiting for her, Crystal and Terry, and she gave them a treat as she replied to the letters, sending them on their way when she was finished.

She found her beaded bag and slung it over her shoulder before taking a look around and then she apparated to Port Angeles.

She had visited Port Angeles once before, she didn't really spend time looking around, just gathering supplies before moving to La Push, meaning that she was able to apparate without any problems.

She had a specific goal in mind for her trip and with that, she headed to a Muggle ATM machine to check her bank balance for the Muggle World, she immediately noticed that her balance had increased massively since she had last checked. Her inheritance from her parent's must've come through. With that she left and headed to her destination.

SPOV

Everyone had noticed a change in Seth, his pack, his sister, his mother who was worrying herself to the point of her looking exhausted, those at school had noticed, as had his teachers.

He hadn't smiled in days, he hadn't laughed, he barely spoke, he barely interacted with anyone. He went to school only to sit in class, in silence, barely paying attention to those around him or what the teachers were saying. He ate only because he had to in order to keep the wolf from starving. When he left school, he would head home and drop his things off before going straight to Hermione's tent where her scent calmed him somewhat. When it was time for patrols he left and carried out his duties and afterwards he headed back to Hermione's, doing nothing but sitting on her bed in his wolf form. He would wake the next morning and head home to ready for school, only to do it all over again.

He missed Hermione, his heart ached for her, his thoughts were about nothing but her and he could feel himself sinking further and further into despair, he knew his pack and mother were worried that he'd never break out of it, but what did they know? Some of them didn't have imprints and those that did didn't know what it felt like to be without theirs, even Quil saw little Clair at least twice a day.

Even if he wanted to be happy, he couldn't be without Hermione.

"Seth? Seth?"

Seth lifted his head from his arms and looked around the room, he noticed the pack stood waiting for him at the door of his now empty classroom.

"The bell's gone," Jared said with a raised eyebrow, Seth picked up his belongings and threw them into his backpack and left the room without a word. He trailed behind the pack as they made their way through the corridors and towards the parking lot, seeing as school had finished for the day.

"Hey, Seth," a voice called and he stopped and waited for whoever it was to catch up.

It was actually Kayla, Holly and Marie and they surrounded him as he continued walking. They were in the year above him and were always friendly towards him, well most of the school populace was given how kind he was to everyone, not many people disliked him and those that did tended to be the male population due to all the girls trying to flirt with him.

Kayla had long black hair that she tied back into a high pony tail, dark mascara covered her lashes and red lipstick stained her lips. She stood at five-foot-three, tiny compared to him and she craned her neck so that her blue eyes could see his face. Holly too had long black hair that she had plaited into an intricate braid, with some hair framing her face. She wore dark mascara and she had dark eye shadow covering her eyelids and bright pink lipstick. She stood at five-foot-four and her green eyes looked up at him. Marie had shoulder length dark brown hair which she clipped back from her face, dark mascara covered her lashes and she wore pink eye shadow with a light pink lip stain. She stood at five-foot-three and her blue eyes looked up at him. He could see they were all rather pretty, but they would never compare to his Hermione.

His Hermione looked beautiful without make-up and wearing nothing by sweats. His Hermione looked beautiful wearing an over-sized sweater, or wearing jeans or pyjamas, she was just beautiful and he missed her.

His thoughts ran away from him and he zoned out of their conversation. He thought about her smile, her laugh, her scent, her chocolate brown eyes, her ivory skin and her soft curls. He missed her.

"Seth?"

He titled his head down to look at them and they were all looking at him both expectantly and hopefully.

"Sorry?" he said tiredly, running his hand through his hair and then over his face, mussing his hair up.

"So, do you want to go to the movies tonight? We've noticed that you've been a little down in the dumps lately and thought we'd cheer you up. We could get dinner too?" Kayla said, fluttering her eyelashes at him and turning her body towards him so that if he wanted to, he could easily see down her shirt, seeing as the sun was finally making an appearance and the weather was warming up, meaning the girl's clothing lessened.

"I can't," he said looking away from her and continuing to walk, he was grateful when he finally reached the parking lot and he could go to Hermione's tent and wallow in peace and quiet.

"Why not?" Marie pouted. "Where's our Smiley Seth gone?"

"We don't like seeing you like this, is it a girl that's the cause of this?" Holly asked, and they noticed in his body language that it was.

"Thought so," Kayla spoke, "well then, it's her loss, but we can make you forget about her, come on, we could have some fun," she said shamelessly.

Suddenly Seth stopped in his movements when a familiar scent hit his nose. He perked up and his eyes lit up in hope as he turned his head this way and that, his eyes searching for the owner of the scent. The girls noticed and their eyes searched the parking lot too.

"What are you looking at?" Marie asked, looking confused.

Seth suddenly took in a deep breath when his eyes landed on the person he had been praying to see.

Hermione was stood off to the left, not even a hundred feet from him. She stood leaning against a sleek black car, one he recognised to be a 2005 BMW X5, a car he could never even dream of affording. She was fiddling with something in her hand and looking away from him, but as if sensing his eyes on her, she looked up and their gazes locked and everything fell away, it was just the two of them.

Jacob, Jared, Quil, Embry and Paul had stopped walking seeing as Seth had fallen behind and when they noticed that he was staring at something, their eyes followed his line of sight.

They all sighed when they saw Hermione.

"Thank God she's back," Jared muttered and the others agreed, knowing that Seth would be back to his regular annoyingly optimistic self, they could already see it in the way his mouth was pulling into a smile, something they hadn't seen for days.

Hermione gave Seth a small smile and a wave and a smile spread across his face, his eyes alight with happiness and Hermione felt her breath catch. Merlin she had missed him.

She pushed away from her newly purchased car and started walking towards him, she had barely taken three steps when he jogged up to her, dropped his back pack to the floor and she found herself being pulled off the ground and spun around.

Hermione gave a squeal of surprise and wrapped her arms around his neck and she laughed at him, delighted in the joy that radiated off him. He stopped spinning and just held her against him, her feet still dangling off the ground but she didn't care. She smiled at him and pressed her forehead against his.

"I missed you," she whispered softly.

"I missed you too," he whispered back and she smiled at him. She was surprised when he titled his head up and pressed his lips to hers, stealing a chaste kiss. He pulled back quickly and looked at her for her approval.

She smiled at him before leaning down and kissing him, pressing her lips against his gently and coaxing him out of his hesitation. His arms gripped her tighter and hers tightened around his neck.

Seth could hear the amused comments and laughter coming from the pack, who weren't far away from them but he ignored them, grateful that his Hermione was back with him, safe and sound.

Hermione pulled away from him and then buried her head into his neck and he lowered her back to her feet, but didn't let go of her.

"Are you alright?"

"I'm completely fine, I promise you. I'm sorry for worrying you and I hated being at the hospital, I drove the staff mad since I kept badgering them to allow me to leave, I just missed you and wanted to get back to you," she confessed and she wasn't embarrassed to do so. She felt him smile against her neck and she heard him inhale her scent. "I think they're throwing a party now that I've officially been discharged," he laughed at her loudly and she chuckled at him.

"I really have missed you," he spoke, pressing his forehead to hers and closing his eyes.

"Missed you more," she replied.

"Doubt it," he chuckled.

"Did too," she said sounding sure of herself. "You had school and your pack to keep you distracted, I had nothing, they wouldn't even let me have a book. I spent hours just staring at blue walls, I'm thinking about redecorating my kitchen," he laughed at her and his kind eyes sparkled, she loved it when they did.

"You look exhausted," she frowned, pulling back from him and taking his face in her hands so she could better observe him. He had dark circles under his eyes and she could see the exhaustion hidden behind the happiness in his eyes. He hadn't been sleeping, but neither had she, she just covered her exhaustion with a glamour.

"You haven't been sleeping," she spoke, and she stroked her thumb over his cheek bone, he leaned into the touch and smiled at her.

"I'm fine, honestly, as long as you're okay, then that's all that matters."

"Your health matters to me," she replied.

"It's nothing a good's night sleep won't fix."

"You think I'm fussing over you know, just you wait until you come to me with a broken arm or a chunk missing out of you, then you'll get the shock of your life." He laughed at her. "I'm being serious Seth. If a you know what ever hurt you, I would track them down and experiment with a few fire charms." He fell silent at both her admission and her promise and seeing how protective she was over him made his heart swell even more.

He pulled her into a hug once more and nuzzled her neck.

A throat clearing had them pulling away from each other and Seth sighed when he saw who it was.

"Hermione, this Kayla, Marie and Holly," Seth introduced them and like the kind person that she was, Hermione smiled at them, genuinely happy to meet them, though Seth could see the instant dislike in the girls' eyes and he felt himself bristle. He put his arm around Hermione's shoulders and pulled her into him, she looked up at him and smiled, not seeing his worry.

"It's nice to meet you girls," she spoke.

"So you're the girl," Holly spoke, deliberately looking Hermione up and down and realising that she was absolutely gorgeous, she looked away from her.

"I'm sorry, the girl?"

"The girl that hurt our Smiley Seth," Kayla spoke, obviously taking a dislike to her as she all but glared at her.

"Smiley Seth?" she spoke confused.

"You haven't seen him, he hasn't been himself for the last few days," Hermione felt Seth tense beside her and she brought her hand up and entwined her fingers through the hand that rested over her shoulder and she gave him a squeeze, letting him know that she would handle it. "Whilst you were swanning off, probably getting your jollies off with someone else, he was here, devastated." Now she was glaring at Hermione.

"I wasn't swannig off getting my jollies with another man, I was in hospital since I was attacked by a rapist and murderer," Kayla's face paled immediately, as did the other girls. "Seth wasn't your 'Smiley Seth' because he was worried about me and my health, he wasn't allowed to visit me and he had only been informed of my condition upon the first night of my admission into hospital on Saturday, we've had no contact since that day. So before you judge people, Sweatheart, I suggest you keep your mouth shut and learn the whole story first, rather than jumping to conclusions. That way you don't look like an interfering bitch with jealousy issues." Seth stared down at her, he was shocked and awed, and he wasn't quite sure how to react to her statement.

"Seth, are you just going to let her stand there and talk to us that way?" Kayla demanded, looking outraged.

Seth looked down at her.

"I'm sorry, Kayla, but you did just basically call Hermione a slut, and you don't even know her. You think I'm a kind person? Well Hermione put's me to shame with her kind heart and selfless acts. The way she spoke to you was justified and you should take her advice, you shouldn't judge people before you know them, that way you'll always have friends and people around you that care." They stared at him shocked and Hermione turned to him and smiled.

"What do you say we go back to mine and take a nap, you're exhausted and I haven't slept properly since Saturday."

He smiled down at her, wanting nothing more than to have Hermione in his arms whilst she slept.

"Let's go."

"See ya later," Seth called to the pack and they responded, whilst Hermione simply smiled and waved at them as she rounded the car to the driver's side and they waved back.

Hermione climbed into the car and started the ignition as Seth climbed into the passenger's seat.

"Wow," he muttered as he perched himself on the soft and comfortable leather seat, with enough room to fit his large frame in comfortably. He immediately noticed the car had that new car smell and it contained all the bells and whistles available to provide luxury but also to be practical.

"What do you think?" she asked him as she fastened her seat belt and waited for him to do so, when he did she checked it was safe to leave her parking space, before pulling out and leaving, driving through La Push.

"I didn't know you had a car."

"That's because I didn't, I bought it today, do you like it?" she asked him as she slowed down and signalled to turn left.

"Yeah, it's very smart and comfortable," his eyes taking in everything.

She smiled and him, "check the glove compartment," she said and he looked at her curiously. He did as she said and he found it empty, all except for a set of car keys.

"What are these for?"

"For you, they're my spare set, you'll have a set and I'll keep one, that way we'll both have access to the car, you do have your license, right?"

"Yeah."

"Good, then you can drive this car whenever you want to, don't even bother asking, just take it."

"I can't do that Hermione," he said looking at her shocked.

"Of course you can, I'm your imprint, correct?" he nodded. "And I've excepted that, I've excepted that you're going to be in my life and that you're going to be my future, so what's mine is yours, therefore this car is half yours too, we share it. You can use it whenever you want to, you can drive the pack to school in this so you don't have to all pile into one car."

"We usually split into two, some of us will go with Jacob and the rest will go with Jared in his mom's car."

"And I bet it's a tight fit, you can easily get five people in here, Jared won't have to borrow his mum's car either. And you also have a set of keys because I will not be driving you everywhere, I get tired after a while so you'll have to take over if we ever go on any long trips."

"Such as?" he asked with a raised eyebrow.

"How about on Saturday we go to Port Angeles?"

"Yeah? Just you and me?"

"If you want to invite anyone else you can," she laughed at him when he made a face at the suggestion. "Okay, where am I going?" she asked and he gave her directions to his house.

Hermione pulled up and she smiled at the quaint cabin, with faded and chipped paint, the roofing multiple colours and the porch railing damaged.

"It's not much but it's home," he muttered.

"Shut up, I love it," she told him and he looked at her surprised. "What? I do love it, I live in a bloody tent and no matter how magical it is, it's still a tent." He chuckled at her and then made to leave. "Do you want to meet my mom?"

She took a deep breath and gripped the steering wheel tightly, she let out whimpers and her face scrunched up in pain as she stiffened. Seth leaned over and pulled her into him realising that she was suffering from a tremour. After a couple of minutes she relaxed into him.

"I'm fine now, I don't think I should meet your mum just yet, but soon, I promise." He smiled at her before jumping out of the car and dropping his backpack off in his room, he walked into his mom in the kitchen and she faltered at seeing Seth back to his old self.

"Is she back? Is she alright?" she walked over to him and took his face in her hands. He smiled widely.

"She's back and she's fine, she told me she drove the hospital staff mad for the last three days because she was bored and they wouldn't discharge her." She smiled and chuckled at him, glad to see her son was once again happy.

"She's waiting for me outside," she perked up, "not yet Mom, she's just gotten out of hospital and I know she hasn't been sleeping, just as she knows that I haven't been sleeping. We're going back to hers for a little while, hopefully she'll be able to sleep with me there."

She looked disappointed that she wouldn't be meeting Hermione but she nodded.

"Soon, Mom, you'll meet her soon, she promised me." She smiled at the news and with a kiss on her cheek, Seth left and headed back to the car.

Hermione was sat in the passenger's seat and he raised an eyebrow at her as he opened the driver's side door.

"I'm not risking it after the episode, it might happen again whilst I'm driving." He nodded and then climbed into the car, he adjusted the seat to fit his frame and they left.

Seth drove as close to the woods as possible and much to his surprise and disbelief, Hermione simply shrunk the car down to fit into the palm of her hand and she apparated them both into her tent.

Whilst Seth dealt with trying not to throw up, Hermione placed a few spells on the car to keep it from returning to its regular size, they then both headed to Hermione's room and kicked off their shoes and climbed into bed, they were asleep within minutes and cuddled up together.
