AN: Here we go guys, this is Seth's POV of the last chapter! I know, isn't it amazing, two chapters in less than a month!

I started my second semester of Uni this week and I thought I better write this chapter before I become completely swamped with assignments and all of you lovely people hunted me down and tortured the chapter out of me ^_^

I received some absolutely fantastic reviews after the last chapter, and I just want to say thank you to all of the amazing people who are reading and enjoying this. You guys are the reason I keep writing Decisions and some of your reviews are so nice they honestly make my day. I'm so grateful to all of you, thank you for being so wonderful!

On another note, I couldn't believe how many of you were thinking I'm going to kill Seth! I could never bring myself to do that! Rest assured neither of our lovely boys will be dying in this fic, although as you can see, serious injury isn't off the cards ;)

Anyway, on with the chapter, I hope you enjoy!

Disclaimer: Nope, just nope :'(

CHAPTER 21

SETH POV

Seth had requested privacy from Alec in order to relieve himself. He may have grown closer to the vampire in the days since Seth had revealed his imprint, but they were definitely not at the stage in which Seth would be comfortable going to the bathroom in Alec's presence.

When he was done, Seth went looking for Alec, knowing he would not have gone out of earshot whilst hunting in case either he or Seth needed help.

Even before he had become a werewolf Seth's hearing was above-average for a human, and so, when he heard murmuring in the trees ahead of him Seth immediately realised that Alec's was not the only voice.

When he was close enough to see through the trees without being seen himself, all Seth saw was Alec being pinned to the ground by one of the creepy Romanian vampires who had fought on the Cullen's side against the Volturi, Vladimir he thought.

Without pausing to think, Seth phased into his wolf form and immediately leapt at the vampire who dared threated Seth's imprint.

With no time for strategy or finesse, Seth simply tackled the blonde vampire and clamped his teeth around the man's neck.

Right before tearing the vampire's neck from his shoulders however, Seth felt the blonde twist his head in return and clamp his own teeth down on Seth's neck, breaking through both fur and skin to draw blood.

Tearing Vladimir's head off ripped his teeth from Seth's neck and his wolf let loose a vicious, pain filled howl before collapsing to the ground.

As his body fell, so did his adrenalin levels and Seth finally registered the voices that had been yelling in the back of his mind since the moment he phased.

'Oh, hey guys,' he mumbled in his head. The pain he could feel from the vampire venom coursing through his veins made him too tired to muster up anything more impressive.

Seth felt relief as he noticed Alec tearing the head off of the other Romanian and setting him alight. Knowing his imprint was safe for the moment at least, Seth allowed the voices of his sister and brothers to take up most of his attention, though not before twitching his head toward Vladimir's corpse, hoping Alec would get the hint and take care of the body before looking over Seth.

'Seth, where are you?!'

'Are you alright?'

'What's happening?'

'You need to come home now!'

'Sheesh guys, calm down,' he thought at his pack. All of their voices were melding together so he couldn't tell who was who and it was giving him a major headache.

'I know you're worried, but if I tell you where I am we all know you're going to try and come after me and that really isn't what I want.'

Seth could feel now that Alec was kneeling next to him, gently running his cool hands through Seth's fur until he brushed against the wound on Seth's neck.

Seth whined low in his throat and recoiled mentally, shutting his pack up immediately.

Seth could hear Alec whispering reassurances even as he moved Seth's fur to get a better look at the injury and the soft gasp that came from his imprint only confirmed Seth's fears.

'What is it Seth?'

Seth could make out the Alpha tone in Jacob's voice among the questions of his other pack members and he replied on instinct, 'vampire bite.'

Seth could feel the shock and dismay emanating from his pack, but before any of them could say a thing Seth felt a cool mouth close around the wound on his neck, gently sucking the blood from his body.

Seth could feel his pack, panicked and disgusted, screaming for him to tell them where he was, but he blocked them out and concentrated completely on the feel of Alec's mouth at his neck and the slight receding of pain that came with it.

'He's not trying to hurt me,' Seth reassured his pack. 'He's sucking the venom out of my blood so I don't die.'

Seth could feel the disbelief emanating from the other wolves but, sure enough, Alec detached his mouth from Seth's neck before the wolf boy was affected by the loss of too much blood.

The raw pain in Alec's voice when he told Seth of his inability to remove all of the venom caused the La Push wolves to finally shut up and, ignoring their confusion, Seth simply promised to return to his wolf form when he was healed so they could see his recovery for themselves, before acquiescing to Alec's wish and returning to his human form. He knew his pack were only worried for his wellbeing, but between his own pain and the grief in the voice of his imprint, Seth couldn't muster up the will to worry about them too, especially considering that almost half of them had conspired with the Council to keep him from Alec.

Seth wouldn't have thought it possible, but the pain of the bite was even sharper when he was human and he barely noticed Alec's cloak wrapping around his shoulders, or being lifted and carried back to their camp.

Seth was doing his best to avoid making any noise which might alert Alec to just how much the burning venom was affecting him, but something in the vampire's eyes as he gently laid Seth on the ground told Seth his efforts hadn't particularly successful.

He found could not spare the energy to verbally reassure Alec at the moment though, which shows how severely the venom was affecting him, that he could not make his imprint feel better.

Seth's body was so cold he felt as though he was on fire. He was freezing in a way he had never felt, even prior to becoming a werewolf.

Seth finally knew what a vampire's touch felt like to other wolves, but unlike a simple touch this feeling was all over his body and no amount of shivering was warming him up in the slightest.

Seth felt as though he was freezing solid from the inside out and the feeling was only amplified by the fact that his temperature normally ran so hot.

As Alec dressed Seth and wrapped him in his cloak, the feel of his imprint's skin felt like a warm balm on Seth's freezing skin. He leant into the touch gratefully, and when he was pulled into the vampire's lap Seth didn't complain. He snuggled in as close as he could to Alec, trying to touch as much of their skin together as possible.

Seth knew that his chances of surviving this bite were incredibly slim, even after Alec had removed most of the venom. There were virtually no accounts of a Quileute wolf healing from a vampire bite and the only 'records' they did have were hundred year old legends.

In this moment, however, held tight in the arms of his vampire imprint, Seth knew he would do it all over again. Seth would gladly endure such pain a thousand times over if it meant that Alec would continue to live.

The pain of the vampire venom freezing in his blood was nothing compared to what Seth had felt when he saw Vladimir pinning Alec to the ground. The fear of losing his imprint had been almost crippling and Seth knew that if he had lost Alec, the pain would have been so great that Seth would simply have ceased to exist.

A world without Alec was not a world worth living in, and if Seth survived this he was never leaving Alec's side again.
