I had helped Charlie and Riley Bier's family put fliers up when he went missing. The young man had only just turned seventeen and he was going to tour U-Dub when he went missing. Now he is dead. He was killed by a maniac for revenge against a human and her pack of wolves. The worst part of all this, his parents will never know. They can never know because how would it be explained? He's nothing but ash in the wind now. Anger filled my veins at the unfairness of it all. I trembled with the overwhelming emotion as tears filled my eyes.
Sam wrapped me up in his arms, pulling me into his lap and I swung my arms around his neck as he let me get myself under control.
After a shower and putting some thick black salve on the Sam's new scars, I made breakfast. There was enough for the entire pack because I knew they'd be coming over any moment now. Just as I was scooping diced hash browns in a large bowl, the whole brood came in through the front door, letting the screen slap closed with every entry.
"Morning, Bella." Quil greeted as he kissed my cheek before digging into the food.
"Morning, guys. How are you?" I asked them as a group.
They all started talking at the same time about last night as they each grabbed a plate and loaded it with food. Quil was left to guard me so he missed out on the action but was able to witness it through the mind link. I patted his shoulder in gratitude as I passed by him to set a basket of hot rolls on the table. As the screen door slapped closed again, I looked up and all former conversations were halted, as if someone had pressed mute on a loud radio.
