I do not own anything.

Dwayne's POV

I had finished feeding when I heard her mentally screaming, looking to my pack they had paused in burning the bodies focusing on my angels terrifying words. Growling I ran before she even finished the sentence. She was screaming in her mind the whole time but 'm not sure whether she knew.

I roared when I entered the scene. The two frogs were standing there in front of the flames while my angel was tied harshly to the pole as flames were cascading around her. Breathing in I smelt burning flesh and her blood. I ran to the flames as the others appeared. When I was a ft away from the murderous flames though the Frog's started throwing holy water at us. Paul leapt at the darker haired brother before ripping to the bone as he bit into his throat before yanking away and clawing at it instead. Paul had some burns around his lips making David roar at a hurt comrade, he leaped towards the running brother as Marko was curled on the ground in pain at feeling what Willow felt. I had circled the flames but at hearing her pain filled screams and choking broke my patience and so I ran through the flames as she stopped breathing.

I hit the pole with the force of a fire truck snapping it from the ground as it fell back into the sand. Paul ran to Marko before coming to me and my angel. Ripping he binds of quickly we attempted to stem the bleeding.

"She's not going to make it..." David muttered quietly when he took a good look at her. I held back a angry roar as he was the leader but they all knew I wanted her as my mate! Growling worked, he held his hands to her face feeling her skin before thinking.

"Get her back to the cave, you can give her blood there ok?" David asked almost gently. He knew I was close to snapping. Nodding I picked her up cradling her damaged body to my chest. I flew to the cave as the David and Paul assisted in getting Marko.

Laying her down on Stars bed in the main of the cave I placed her head on my knees as I observed her body flinching.

Her hands were burnt very badly and the skin was still bubbling slightly where the blood heated to the point of bursting, I could faintly see her bones in her hands making me hiss. Ripping my wrist open I didn't even register the pain before I gently pried her lips apart before placing my wrist at her mouth. H stoked the side of her face looking her over more carefully. Her arms were peeling leaving strips of blood down her arms. Her jeans had almost melted against her legs turning them near black. On her hip I saw a lodged piece of wood, yanking it out I noted she wasn't swallowing. Panicked I massaged her throat spouting encouraging words to her.

"Drink!, I can't lose you, swallow!" I chanted gently as the others entered. Marko was sweating still and looked pained but when she swallowed he looked a little bit at peace making me hold a sigh of relief.

"She will be fine, when she has had enough she will go into a state of healing sleep. She is badly burnt so she may not awake the next few nights" David said in his normal disinterested voice making Paul hiss slightly. I had known David for 49 years, I could tell he cared but he also knew she would be fine so he's reverted back to our leader. Marko settled himself next to her the other side of me stroking her singed hair away from her face, Paul sat next to him rubbing a soothing hand on his shoulder while holding Willows other hand.

Her eyes opened a few times unseeing, she gazed at us when her eyes adjusted. When she figured out what I was doing she looked a little panicked which was understandable. We could explain why we couldn't lose her later though. After looking in my eyes a few moment making the rest of the world fade away she took another deep gulp making me smile. I saw the happiness and pain in her eyes.

We had explained before to her that when we give blood to somebody they will turn into a half unless we drain them first in which they instantly become full. Most simply turn people straight into a vampire but we never would so that knowing how confusing it would be to explain the lack of heart beat.

"She's going into a state of healing" David said before walking back to his wheelchair. Paul joined him skipping at the thought of killing the other Frog brother that apparently got away. Growling slightly when I heard this David snapped his attention to me.

"He shot me with holy water before I felt your distress making me return" He smirked before talking loosely about what they would do to him.

Me and Marko sat by her side, though he fell asleep almost the same time she did. Frowning slightly I thought what would happen as she and he were connected.

"They will be blood related in a way as we are brothers so it will make them siblings with a slightly stronger bond, she will still be yours don't worry!" David smirked as Paul fetched the bottle giving it to David who took a few gulps sighing as the burns along his hands healed quickly.

"I'm going to find Spike and the nut loop!" Paul snickered now happy as Willow was going to be fine, we will get revenge and we will be an eternal family now. He flew out the cave while David rolled his eyes offering me the bottle which I took taking a few quick gulps healing my wrist.

I was laying next to Willow holding her head in my chest and my other hand wrapped around her waist. She had a very faint heartbeat while my blood was healing the internal damage. I drifted off at feeling her in my arms before David said to take her into her room, nodding I flew her there while David woke Marko. I heard Spike and Dru enter the cave as David said it was time to sleep as the sun was rising. Removing her burnt and charred clothes I left her underwear on, knowing she would kill me if I tried to remove them before wrapping my large jacket over her tiny form pulling the blanket over the two of us. I let the sun pull me into the healing and rejuvenating sleep holding Willow as close as I could without hurting her.

When I awoke it was because she was stirring. Grinning at her emerald eyes that pinpointed me the moment she was fully awake. Smiling lightly she shot up before sobbing suddenly. She remembered. I held her close as she sobbed.

"Am...am I a vampire or half...?" She asked stuttering slightly, her voice was slightly rough from the smoke damage, she was still healing and I felt the sun was still up.

"Half" I said simply watching her tearful smile before curling into my chest.

"So, I'm part of the family now?" She asked carefully blushing slightly as she winced feeling her smooth and slightly pink skin from where it was repaired.

"Yes. We told you that you are one of us, we meant it!" I said smiling gently as tears drizzled down her face, wiping them away I kissed both her cheeks before muttering "Mine". She grinned slightly pulling me closer surprising me.

"I I think I love you" She whispered against my lips. I grinned unable to repress it. Holding her chin I looked into her clear, nervous eyes before kissing her lips gently.

I nipped her lips as she moaned slightly, I tasted every part of her mouth before she hesitantly explore mine making me grin. I wanted to smile as her nervousness but wouldn't want to upset her. She bit my tongue playfully as I pulled back shocked. Smiling she slowly wrapped her bare legs around my waist. I almost groaned before leaning down placing kisses occasionally sucking and nips up her neck, when she moaned starting to pant slightly I kissed her lips sucking her tongue as she battled for dominance playfully making me actually groan.

She ran her toes up and down my covered calf as I gently ran my fingers over her slightly visible ribs smiling as she gasped in pleasure. I felt her hands caressing my bare chest making me groan. She pulled out the kiss before biting my earlobe.

"I love you Willow, will you be mine?" I asked quietly in her ear as I felt her tears on my shoulder, pulling back she smiled at me before placing a toe curling kiss on me. I heard her moan as I took control and caressed her body. We united in every way we could becoming one.

I roared before biting into her shoulder marking her as mine. She let go panting as we both fell back covered in a thin layer of sweat. We were mates, and nothing no one will ever change that. We fell asleep in twined together as we knew this was it.
