Our family had been together for near a hundred years, my father made me into a vampire in 1918 at the height of the Spanish Influenza. My father often thinks back to that night to see if it was necessity that he changed me or if it was because he was lonely. I didn't care too much either way, my soul was no longer with me so the reasoning behind the action doesn't mean much.

We continued to gather other vampires, the next to join us was Esme, Carlisle's mate. They have been inseparable since the moment he changed her, I have often had to excuse myself from the house due to their 'love making'. Carlisle sensing my frustration changed Rosalie Hale in 1933 hoping she would be to me what Esme was to him.

She hated us all for changing her, her mind was viscous and evil with the change, so I stayed away from her as much as possible. Coming up with excuses to leave them whenever possible. It became more bearable when Rosalie brought Emmett into the household… He was the brother I never had, we were able to beat each other into a pulp when we were angry or frustrated, even when we just needed the exercise. It got better when Alice and Jasper joined us, Alice was my sister in all but blood. We came from the same era, she understood me more than any of my other family.

So, when the world literally went to hell, we continued our existences. Feeding on animals and still studying in the colleges which were now deserted. It was easier to study without the thrumming sound of hearts in my ears or the forlorn looks women would send me every day.
Alice came to me one morning explaining that she couldn't see the future for the day, we were all concerned. I watched through her mind us making simple decisions about a new home we were moving into and then it went suddenly blank.

"What does this mean Alice?"

"I don't know Edward…" She whispered, her mate Jasper glared at me over the top of her head as he wrapped his arms around her. I flinched slightly when I saw his shirt ride up and his scars, he smirked as he watched the reaction, so I turned away from them and decided to warn the rest of the family. We'd act perfectly normal, I'd keep my mind open to thoughts coming closer to us.

"We have company." I said loud enough for everyone to hear.

"Who are they?"

"Three nomads just passing through. They smelt us and are curious."

"Thank you, Edward." I nodded to Carlisle, we would adopt the persona of being harmless, it most often led to the nomads leaving peacefully. They'd think some filthy thoughts about our women but would see Jasper and Emmett and decide it wasn't worth it.

The nomads came through a forest clearing, the leader of the coven had a red head wrapped around him they were practically playing with one another's tonsils, it was a display I wish I didn't have seen. The other nomad called Laurent pretended to be the leader whilst James kept tabs on us. I could see inside his mind he was a hunter, he enjoyed a thrilling chase of his prey. Whether it was human or vampire, the more difficult the challenge the more fun he got out of it.

The female Victoria had a gift too it seemed, hers was the gift of preservation, no doubt it got them out of a few difficult positions so when she shook her head no, he let go his idea of a thrilling hunt. He kept staring at Alice, but they shrugged their shoulders and exclaimed they were merely travelling through and would leave our lands soon.

So, we didn't see them again, we kept going on our day when we saw pillars of purple smoke coming through the tree line. "What is that…" Esme's motherly voice could be heard by all, so we all came out to the front of the house and stared at it.

"If I had to guess… It would be vampire smoke." We all looked at Jasper.

"What do we do?" Rosalie asked Jasper.

"We stay here, we've been here a while, and nothing has come to attack us. We should all stay out of that forest though." Jasper was watching the tree line his eyes darting every way almost searching for something.

"What could possibly kill a vampire though?" I saw flickers of a terrible beast pass through Carlisle's mind. "Carlisle?"

"It is something I saw when staying with the Volturi, but it can't possibly be what I'm thinking of." He shook his head and shoved the thought somewhere my gift can't reach. We spent an hour staring at the plumes of smoke, flinching when another plume came up only a little further apart from the other two. No doubt James and his coven were no longer in this world.

We heard a snarl of what seemed to be a wolf coming from the forest line, I turned towards the source of the noise. "What are they?" I whispered to my family.

"Stay as still as possible." Carlisle commanded.

I don't know… Stay here. I followed the mind towards what felt like a human, but the biology didn't seem right. When a giant black wolf walked out of the forest towards us to say I was shocked was an understatement. He was taller than a horse and covered with roped muscle.

"He's the alpha of the pack…" The wolf didn't realise we could have gifts as a vampire, he knew what we were and was trained to kill us that much was clear. But he didn't even realise he was thinking of his pack as he stalked towards us/

"Hello there, my name is Carlisle, I'm aware that your land is close to where we are living. I promise you we do not hunt on humans only on animals, so we are not a danger to you or your family." He's too friendly… It's not natural.

"He thinks we're strange." He narrowed his large golden eyes towards me. He reads minds… Thank god Bella is staying quiet. "There's more than him near us." Fuck, there goes the element of surprise.

"Please we are no threat to you or your families." Carlisle held both his palms open trying to remain as neutral as possible. Are they thinking of attacking? I shook my head in response, I hadn't seen an attack plan come into play.

The images of James, Victoria and Laurent came through the wolf, the image was of James's death… He was struck with an arrow. I tucked that away to re-think about later. "The pack killed James's coven. They were feeding on the townspeople." I heard another growl come from the forest, the same growl that we heard the first time. I kept looking for the wolf only to have the alpha snarl at me. "I'm sorry, I'm curious what the other wolf looks like." I shrugged my shoulders. Surely that's not an unusual thing for them when encountering someone who isn't part of their tribe.

I heard a strange noise then heard a human trapezing through the forest towards us. I heard the heartbeat and the scent that came through with her was intoxicating. She continued walking her dress swaying around her legs but sitting against her waist and bosom tightly. I swallowed as my eyes continued to travel upwards slowly.

She was beautiful, her heart shaped face suited her perfectly, she had hazel-coloured eyes if I had to guess from this distance, but it was her long locks of hair what hung around her waist curling perfectly around her face. My eyes travelled back down to appreciate the curve of her waist, the raw power in the muscles of her body. Jasper sent me a shock of apprehension since he could feel my lust for the girl growing.

Knock it off Edward, not the time. Look at the way she stands next to the wolf, the way they move as magnets. They are mated. Jasper's voice was harsh as he thought directly at me, a flood of shame ran through me before I tampered down all my emotions

"What is your purpose for living here?" Her voice was as perfect as her body, sonnets should be written about this woman, paintings and statues dedicated to her beauty. Thankfully, Carlisle was actually paying attention to her words.

"We all have a purpose in life, ours is to enjoy all the world has to offer."

"I agree with you their vampire. Your eyes are all yellow meaning you feed on animals is that correct?" We nodded. "Then I will advise my chief and he will make the final decision to what happens from here." The giant wolf agreed with her.

"Could we meet your council and perhaps talk with them? Carlisle was on point with his questions, I watched her as she shifted as all humans do when standing for some time.

"That is not for us to decide." She was staring at me then, her beautiful brown eyes with flecks of green bore into my own. I felt an electric buzz jolt my body, I wanted to get closer to her, to hold her and exclaim all my feelings.

"But you are the alpha's and the alpha's mate." I didn't care the wolf bared his teeth at me, but please deny it sweet beauty.

"Listen here boy, just because you can read minds does not make it polite to blurt out whatever you hear." She was glaring at me now, I needed to fix this.

"But I can't hear you though…" I began to walk towards her, my intent to make things right taking over my body. Emmett grabbed onto my shoulder and used his strength to keep me still, I heard a cracking of my skin under the pressure.

"Are you stupid Edward? Advancing on a wolf?" The giant wolf snarled louder, I saw the meaning behind the body language, but it was the thought running through his head of him running across the clearing and ripping my head from my shoulders that made me stop.

"You'd be smart to listen to the big one boy. I will advise our clan you are here, and they will make the final decision." She stopped looking at me and focused on Carlisle instead. "If you could answer a question, I'd be grateful."

"Anything for you." Really Edward? She's not interested! Rosalie's voice came through as well as a mental slap from Esme.

"Yes miss, I will answer what I can." Carlisle ignored my comment.

"What is the rest of the country like? I arrived here just as the world was ending and people vaporized, I'm not sure what else has happened since…"

"Oh, well… Some humans survived; we don't know why they weren't killed. No side effects seemed to have occurred as a result of being left alive. We approximated that at least two thirds of the population of the world was killed instantly. Many vampires died as a result they began to fight over the left-over humans, killing one another in the process. We always lived off animals, so it wasn't an issue for us.

America is slowly forming a government, Seattle at the moment is untouched as only a few humans survived and were unable to do anything to support themselves, some travelled outside of the area and were either killed by other humans fighting over supplies or died of other causes." Carlisle only spoke factually to her, so when he shrugged her shoulders and she just nodded I felt a little bad for her. She lost her family and life… Maybe I could help her?

"Thank you for that information." She turned and I got to stare at her ass as she walked away, it jiggled with each step she took, she started to talk off her dress just before she reached the tree line so I could see the beautiful creamy skin of her thighs. I didn't care about the wolf I knew he didn't trust us, I wished I could follow her and tell her all about the world I've seen.

"What the fuck Edward?" Emmett turned me around after they were gone, and I could see the fury in his face.

"What?"

"The creepy fucking display you just put on. That girl was spoken for. What fucking right did you have to be all creepy on her?" I didn't think I was creepy, we had a connection….

"Edward, why did you behave like that?" Esme stood in front of Emmett trying to get my attention.

"I don't know Esme, I just… Felt something."

"Edward, she isn't your mate. You showed a great disrespect to the wolves today. I think we are very lucky the alpha didn't attack you." Carlisle added.

"Why would he attack me? I didn't DO anything!"

"Yes, you did, if a male acted that way towards Esme, I'd be furious." Carlisle's face was hard, his thoughts completely blank from me.

"I have to agree, if you did that to my Rosie, I'd crush you." To emphasise his point Emmett cracked his knuckles…

They just didn't understand, they didn't feel the connect between us… But they will.

Shifting back into my wolf was one of the most freeing feelings I've experienced in my life, it was better than pouring molten metal into a mould and waiting for it to cool. My wolf wasn't as big as his, but I was able to keep up with him in speed as we raced back to the town.

What the fuck happened? Paul was still pissed about what happened today. I replayed the memories of the vampires we'd just met, all of the wolves were speechless.

Paul, Jared keeps running a patrol towards that side of the forest, do NOT let them see you. Do NOT attack unless you see them hurting humans or attack you first. I heard them howl their answer to Sam's command. I looked at him as we ran, he was a handsome man but as a wolf he was indescribable. He was keeping his thoughts silent as we ran, I knew he wanted to have this conversation away from prying minds.

We pulled up to his house and we quickly shifted back, I wasn't as embarrassed over my body anymore although Sam didn't look openly at my body. I can't say I didn't stare at him, especially his pecs, abs, and the V in his hips that I wanted to lick all over, I blushed brightly, and he only chuckled and hugged me to him.

"Bella, you'll be the death of me."

"Hey! I resent that." I pushed away from him and looked down at his shorts which were still too big for my hips, his shirt looked more like a dress on me. He grabbed my hand and together we started walking towards the town. Faster than a lazy stroll not but jogging.

"That bronze haired boy liked you." I rolled my eyes.

"He liked a pretty package, the others knew I was yours as you are mine. If he tries anything, he forfeits his life." He stopped walking and bent down so we were level as he stared in my eyes.

"Bella, you have no idea how close I was to ripping off his head. The way he looked at you wasn't right, it was possessive, lustful. If he even touched you, I would have lost all my control." I ran my fingers over the stubble on his jaw, I watched his pupils dilate as they moved down to my lips.

"Just as I would have done if he touched me, I am yours. My wolf belongs to you as much as my soul does." He reached up and wound his fingers in my hair, slowly he moved towards me. He was testing the waters, silently asking for permission to continue.

I gave him a small nod and he claimed my lips with his own, they were still hot against my own but soft. Our lips moved against one another trying to claim dominance it was no longer a sweet innocent little kiss as I wrapped my arms around his neck and threw myself completely into it. He stood up bringing me with him, moving a hand down to rest against my thigh as I wrapped my legs around his waist.

I felt his tongue against my bottom lip requesting access which I quickly gave into, I felt him begin to walk but I had no idea where he was taking us until I heard his feet against a deck. He had walked us back to his house, he kicked open his front door without breaking out kiss. He navigated through the house towards his bedroom and dropped me squarely on his bed whilst he looked over me.

My hair fanned out around my head, breath heaving as I watched his muscles ripple as he tried to contain himself. "Bella…" His voice was coarse as he spoke.

"Sam." I whispered back, slowly trailing my eyes down his body.

"Bella, if we don't stop…" I started to crawl over his bed getting closer to him, he groaned as he watched me, the black of his eyes betraying how he felt.

I kept crawling to him until I'd reached the end of the bed, I grabbed the waistband of his shorts and tugged him closer to me. I crawled up his body slowly, trailing soft kisses up his stomach, across his chest, up his neck to whisper softly in his ear. "Then we just don't stop." I bit down softly on the spot just behind his ear.

He lost all control then, he picked me back up and laid me down on the bed, he crawled up my body slowly raising my shirt as he did, he kissed along my stomach, between my breasts to my neck before claiming my lips as his again. We broke apart in the kiss so he could take my shirt off me, I felt his fingers roam over my body, massaging my breasts, teasing my nipples while our tongues continued to battle for dominance.

I had my legs wrapped around his waist and I ground myself into him mewling slightly when I felt his cock hardening in his shorts. He broke apart the kiss as we both took several large gulps of air. "Bella, you need to stop now if you don't want to continue." I redirected his lips back to my own whilst unhooking my legs from around him, I traced my fingernails down his arms then guided his hands to my shorts, he took the hint and began to slowly break apart from my kiss and glide my shorts down my legs.

He sat back on his legs to do this, his eyes roaming over my body as I took shallow breaths, I looked down his body my eyes remaining on his cock, it looked large in his shorts, once mine were discarded he did the same for himself. Once released from its confines it bounced up towards his stomach, it was thick, veiny and at least 9" long.

"Jesus, will…" I didn't want to finish the question, I began to blush red at the thought, sensing my apprehension Sam leaned down took my lips back in his as he settled between my legs, I felt his cock against me as he slowly began to rock his hips.

I'd only masturbated a handful of times in my life, but every time the head of his cock hit my clit a jolt of electricity ran through my body. I let out soft groans when his fingers travelled over my breasts teasing my nipples in time with his rocking motions.

I felt a coil inside of me begin to wind, tightening into a hot inferno. Sam released my lips, the groans turning into whimpers of his name and please don't stop, he continued slow thrusts, rocking against me, the teasing of his fingers and now he began to kiss my neck. The moment he lightly bit down my body snapped, I tensed completely and tried to hug him to my body, but he never stopped his motions only instead of kissing my neck he returned to my lips. Stealing my moans for himself.

As I began to calm, he trailed his hands down my body and his fingers parted my pussy lips, he groaned when he felt how wet I'd become, his fingers teased around my entrance, I bucked my hips trying to get him closer to me than anyone has ever been before. He didn't disappoint me, he slid one large finger inside me, it felt filling as he began to rock in the same motion as before, the coiling began again and heightened the experience when he added another finger, making a 'come here' motion with his fingers, pressing them into a button I never knew existed.

His lips still claiming mine drowned out the scream as I came on his fingers, my legs jerking slightly with the orgasm that flooded my body. I felt his smile at making me scream his name, I bit down on his lip as I felt his fingers leave me. I wasn't fully aware of my body in that moment, everything was heightened, I had my hands in his air keeping him as close to me as possible, I never wanted him to leave.

When I felt him at my entrance slowly pushing inside of me, I let him move my legs to higher on his waist, I felt his fingers pressing into my flesh as he fought the need to ram himself home. He stopped moving further inwards and merely just made shallow thrusts grunting into the kiss every time. I pushed into him with my heels which he took as encouragement to keep going. He massaged my thighs as he thrusted slowly in and out of me, when he finally bottomed out, he broke away from my lips and looked into my eyes.

"Bella…" His voice nearly broke as he spoke.

"Sammy, I love you." He kissed me again.

"I love you too." Our lovemaking was slow, passionate, after I'd gotten used to how large he was he began to thrust faster inside of me, his balls slapping against my ass every time. I kept my legs wrapped around him and he moved his hands from my thighs to either side of my head as he pounded into me. He broke our kiss his grunts getting faster, deeper.

"Fuck Bella." He started to jerk slightly, "I'm going to cum." I was already so close to the edge, my body sensitive from his ministrations earlier. He pushed up off my body and thrusted into me watching my breasts bounce with each thrust, he looked down at where we were joined and groaned. He shut his eyes as he picked up the pace, I watched his muscles flex and dance every time.

He jerked a few more times before pulling out of me completely, jerking his cock in his hands a few times before his cum landed on my stomach. I saw the sweat begin to drop from his forehead onto my body as he caught his breath before moving. I'd never felt so connected to someone as I did in that moment.

He got up from me ran into his bathroom and brought back a towel quickly cleaning up the mess he'd made on my skin before picking me up bridal style and carrying me back to the shower. I was a puddle of bones in his arms, when he went to place me on my feet I nearly collapsed under the weight. He merely laughed and held me in his arms with the water pouring over our body until I regained my legs.

He cleaned us both since I wasn't able to do much more than hum softly each time, he touched my body, he even helped me get dressed. Once I was back to my normal self I blushed as I looked at him, would anyone else be able to tell what we'd done?

"Bella." He kissed me softly.

"Sammy."

"How are you feeling?" He looked up and down my body before grinning like a Cheshire cat.

"Good… Really good." I tested out my muscles, I heard a few small pops as I stretched but otherwise, I felt as if I'd just gotten a really good massage.

"Good baby, that's good." He intertwined our fingers and together we began to walk towards the town, we didn't talk on our walk we were content just walking near one another, we swung our hands slightly as we walked.

"How long were we… Busy?" Sam laughed.

"About an hour…"

"Oh, that's good right?" Sam blushed but nodded. "Did you… Like it?"

He coughed a few times before looking at me through the corner of his eye. "Yeah Bella, I loved it. Did you?"

"I was a pile of bones at the end, yes I fucking loved it." I saw his bright smile return, he nodded satisfied with my answer. The only thought running through my head was how happy I am standing next to this man, being able to spend the rest of our days together… Who could ever ask for anything better?
