I dropped my head in defeat as my hands came up to unhook the collar, laying it and the leash on the coffee table in front of me before standing. Turning to face my fiance, I watched his eyes devour my body hungrily. I sauntered up to him and smiled coyly, raking my fingers over his chest as I came up to him. He ducked down quickly and kissed me hard, his hands coming to frame my face.
Breathing heavily after a long, passionate kiss, he leaned his forehead against mine. "I gotta go help the pack. Victoria's around again, but I will be back." He reached down and swatted my ass hard, making me moan as I pressed my nose into his face, kissing his chin. "I love you."
I sighed heavily as I hugged him tightly before pressing up on the balls of my feet to kiss his cheek. "Be safe, Sam. I love you too."
Once the door shut behind him, I stood still for a moment, waiting for the tell tale sound of the wolf alarm. The long, low and deep howl lasted a good ten seconds before other quieter howls replied. They would be meeting up to go over their plan, I was sure. I was also sure I'd be home alone for quite some time so I went to the bedroom to slip on some fleece lined sweats. I plopped down on the couch with the remote and some popcorn after shutting the kitchen window, turning on some mindless show to keep my mind occupied until I fell asleep. I knew one of the wolves was outside the house, keeping watch over me and though I was grateful, I was always worried when they did that. Splitting up the pack wasn't a great idea if they wanted the strength in numbers. The waiting wolf was always jittery and anxious, watching the action from a stand still.
The time passed slowly and every passing hour that didn't find me sleeping, had me more and more panicky. Did Victoria find them? Did they find her? Would anyone be hurt? I twirled my hair around and around my finger as my mind played tricks on me. The wind brought a whistling sound, rustling leaves and branches outside the windows. The sun had set hours ago and I haven't heard any wolves since Sam left. A blanket was curled around my legs and I clutched the remote in my hand as if it would save me from a vengeful vampire. The TV droned on in the background and though I fought it, my eyes closed several times, causing me to jerk awake again after a few moments. At some point, as the time neared three in the morning, I heard the front door click shut softly.
