Sorry it took me so long to update! I've been busy moving and packing, which is so boring, and hanging out with friends one last time before I moved. So sorry for the wait. Hope you like this chapter.

Jake

They ate, talked and headed to bed. They had gone over the hunts basics, what they needed to know and what they didn't need to worry about. Anna assured them that Lucian would be a problem but not until their hunt was over, to worry about one thing at a time. Dean made it very clear he wanted Eric dead, Sam agreed and so did Anna. Anna had to come up with half the events of the night for Dean, Sam agreed with everything she said, not wanting his brother to know a thing of what he had confessed. There were only two beds in the room; Dean had fallen asleep first leaving Anna and Sam to talk on their own, neither of them able to go to sleep. Anna was sitting on the same bed as Sam.

"What's wrong?" Sam asked.

"Huh?"

"Your thinking too hard, what are you thinking about?"

"Everything I guess. Mainly the two of you." Anna folded her hands on her lap and stared down at them as she spoke. "I shouldn't have brought you guys into this. There's nothing you can do on this hunt."

"We were going to be in this hunt with or without you. We were already here on this hunt when we found out you were on it. If anything we have a better chance at getting through this one with you with us."

"If you guys leave now, I can take care of Lucian after the hunt, he won't go after you."

"We're not leaving Anna."

"Why do you always do this? Dean would have left me alone on both hunts if it weren't for you insisting to help. Why do you always have to help me? Your going to get yourself killed around me."

"I guess it's a hunter thing, we help people, it's just what we do."

"Its stupid, you can't help. I mean, what can you do? You don't have any powers to help kill these things, your both just humans. A gun or knife wont work on these things and I cant think of a damn way for you guys to help me."

Sam stood quite, thinking about what she said. He had powers, powers he didn't know how to use so there was no point in telling her about them.

"I don't know… maybe tomorrow I'll have more luck with a plan." Anna stated after getting no response from Sam.

"Maybe…" Sam trailed off in thought.

"Sam?" Anna asked, reading Sam's expressions. He had so many emotions crossing over his face she couldn't even guess at what he was thinking.

"You said Lucian was a problem to deal with later, right?"

"Yeah…?"

"What if you can get rid of him at the same time you get rid of the shadow vamps?"

"Dealing with the shadow vamps is going to be enough of a challenge, taking them both on at once is suicide."

"Like you said, if Lucian wanted us dead, he could have killed us tonight. I don't think he can take you on."

"I'm not exactly following this."

"I was thinking, you said you were stronger then half the master vampires in the United States right?"

"Yes." She answered, listening intently.

"But you told me and Dean that you never unleash your true vampire."

"It'd be too dangerous. She might see you guys as food."

"You talk as if it's a different person."

"Oh, it's no person. But it is different from me. I can't exactly control it, it has … its like I have a second mind. But it only thinks about food and power. Occasionally sex."

"But it thinks like a vampire?"

"That's what it is so yea."

"You said me and Dean are your people, your group."

Anna saw where this was going and shoved her hands in the air in front of her, telling him to stop right there.

"Uh uh, no. I might but your not really vampires to be claimed mine. That can make a huge difference in its eyes. I only let it peak out enough for it to protect me and not harm others."

"Your stronger then half the vampires in the U.S., and that's with you as just a little bit of a vampire."

"Yeah, I know. And this little bit of vampire cant take on Lucian. I've thought about it before, but the consequences are too high."

"You won't know the consequences unless you let it lose."

"You don't get it, it's not that simple."

"How do you know you can't control it if you haven't let it take over you in so long? Your doing a damn good job at control it enough to squash it down so it wont surface, maybe you have more control then you think."

"You're giving me a headache, and even if I did let it loose on Lucian it wouldn't work."

"Why not?"

"Because no matter how strong I am I still can't take on both groups of vampires. It won't be a one on one fight, it'll be his vampires with him and the entire group of shadow vampires. And I won't be able to trick him like that. He made me, I broke away from him but he still has a small metaphysical line connected to me."

Sam exhaled heavily, letting his body slump forward with it. Anna noticed the bags around his eyes and turned to the only clock in the room. It was five forty six in the A.M.

"Get some sleep Sam, you look beat. I'll think more about this after I go hunting."

Sam's eyes focused on her, asking silently what she meant. She smiled at him and shrugged.

"Haven't had any blood since this morning."

"That's not true." He blinked; turning toward Dean's sleeping form.

"That doesn't count." Anna protested. "Bloods the battery remember? And I used a hell of a lot of energy on him. I gave more then I took."

"You don't need to go out to hunt." Sam stated.

"I'm not taking any more blood from you guys."

"I don't mind, just let go when I say let go this time."

Anna sighed but leaned over toward Sam. He craned his neck to the side, exposing his neck to her. She grabbed the back of his neck and pulled him closer, her mouth locking onto the side of his neck. She brushed her teeth against his skin, flicked her tongue over the pulse pushing against the surface of his flesh. She felt Sam stiffen against her grip.

"Fangs would help." Sam whispered.

She opened her mouth wider, grabbing a nice chunk of meat between her teeth. She growled against his neck as a flash of ripping his throat out crossed her mind, his blood spurting out for her to drink.

"Anna, fangs." Sam repeated.

She shoved the thought in the back of her mind and in one quick flex of her jaw, her fangs spilled out from her mouth and pierced into the meat between her teeth. Sam's body stiffened further as she drank him down. It wasn't long till her told her to let go, the moment he started to feel woozy she was releasing his throat. It was a clean bite this time, no mess, no black and blues, not even a drop of blood came out when she let go.

Anna rolled the taste of him in her mouth as she swallowed down the last bit of blood in her mouth.

"Thanks."

"No problem."

He looked even more tired then before, he needed to sleep.

"Go to sleep Sam."

"I'm not tired. Where are you going to sleep?"

"Is that why you stood up with me? So I had a bed to sleep in?"

Sam shrugged in response.

"Sleep Sammy, I'll crash with Dean." Anna blinked at him and threw a small wave of comfortableness at Sam. The feeling pushed along his surface, fed to his tiredness he was feeling. Being comfortable while sleepy was the last straw for Sam. He laid back and passed out instantly.

Anna paced around the room thinking about what Sam said. It was giving her a headache. She walked to the bathroom which they had cleaned up earlier that day so room service didn't see all the blood in the tub and floor. The towels Sam and Dean had used to clean the blood she had trailed to the motel were soaking in water in the sink. She stared at the mirror.

"I need clothes." She stated. She had been using the boy's shirts and boxers as clothing. She pulled her hair out of its ponytail and let it fall over her shoulders. She rinsed off her face and headed to Dean's bed, but not before making sure Sam was covered in his sheets and had a pillow under his head. She crawled on the outside of the covers and laid down beside Dean. He rolled over instantly and pulled her closer.

"Get under the covers." He whispered.

She turned around in his hold and saw his eyes barely open, face groggy. She figured he wouldn't remember whatever he said or did when he woke up. He tugged on the blanket beneath her and let her go. She slipped herself under the covers and against him. He wrapped his arm around her again, along with one leg resting across both hers so that he even pulled her legs closer to him. She laughed silently, wondering if she had taken Sam's bed if Dean would do the same thing to Sam if he had offered to crash with Dean. She let the thought go as she felt sleep take over her.

Anna woke up to the feel of Dean's body pushed up against her, along with something else pushed up to the front of her body. She had her eyes closed, not wanting to wake up yet. Sam? She thought, running a hand over the figure in front of her. Her hand found nothing but hair, soft silky hair from top to bottom of what she was touching. A wet tongue licked the length of her face. It startled her. Her eyes shot open, her body pushing away from whatever it was. Dean groaned behind her, waking up as Anna pushed him over the edge of the bed and landed on top of him.

"Jesus Anna!" He yelled. "When did you even get in my bed?" He rolled onto his stomach and pushed himself up on his knees. He looked up at Anna who was on all four, focusing on the bed. Her eyes were that icy blue, her fangs lapping over her bottom lip. He looked up at the bed and saw a large oversize wolf on the far side of the bed. He knew it wasn't Eric; this one was a creamy beige with a white stripe on its muzzle.

From the other side of the room was a soft click that seemed to thunder inside of the room. Anna peered over the beast to see Sam sitting up in his bed with a one handed grip on his gun, pointing it at the creature on the bed. The wolf stretched out on its back like a dog asking for its belly to be rubbed. It shifted with such liquid ease, its body extending the length of a full grown man.

Anna relaxed instantly as she realized who it was and stood up from the floor.

"Sam, its okay… I think." She admitted.

"We don't go on 'I think'." Dean reached over to the side draw and pulled out his own gun.

The once wolf on the bed was now human, a blond haired man with dark blue eyes stared at the Anna with a smile on his face. His white, nude body was framed by the cerulean blue of the sheets perfectly to his advantage. He raised a hand to the top of his head and ran it through his hair.

"Hello sweet heart, it's been a long time."

"Does everyone have to be nude?" Dean shook his head.

"It's a wolf thing." Anna answered. "What are you doing here Jake?"

"No introduction?" The man asked.

Anna nodded her head and introduced the boys to the wolf. "Guys, this is Jake. Wolf King in this town. Jake, this is Sam and Dean. They are under my protection." Anna made clear.

"So the rumors are true…" He smiled. "Why didn't you call me when you came to town?" He asked hurt.

"Didn't know I was suppose to."

Sam circled around the bed to where Anna and Dean stood.

"So… what brings you to town?" Jake asked.

"I know you know why I'm here. But what are you doing here?"

"I'm here to make sure your okay." He said honestly. "You may hate me but I don't hate you Anna, I never will. You're the only vampire I can trust and from what I've heard you're in some kind of mess with that prick Lucian."

"I like him." Sam said.

"I'd like him better with clothes on." Dean replied.

Jake stared down the length of his body and shrugged with a smile.

"Sorry, the clothes kinda go with the shift."

"Can one of you lend him a pair of boxers?" Anna asked.

Dean moved to one of the bags and pulled out a pair of Sam's boxers.

"Why mine?" Sam asked.

"Because Anna's been wearing mine and I don't want another dude in my boxers."

"So? Neither do I."

"So it's your turn to sacrifice one of your boxers."

"I didn't know you were sacrificing your boxers for me." Anna stated.

"She wore one of mine too so that's not an excuse."

"But she wore more of my shirts."

"So give him one of my shirts and one of your boxers."

Jake started laughing on the bed. Anna pulled her boxers off, Dean's shirt was long enough to cover up her privates. She tossed the boxers on the bed and Jake caught it.

"They're amusing." He chuckled.

"Guys shut up, problem taken care of." She growled.

Sam and Dean stopped arguing and stared at Anna.

"You need clothes." Dean stated.

"Can you please shut up about clothes?"

"Sorry.' They said in unison.

"Actually, I heard about your attire last night and brought you some clothes. It's your style." Jake slipped the boxers over his long legs and reached toward the floor where they couldn't see and pulled a duffel bag up. He threw it toward Anna and she caught it. She opened the bag and found two short sleeve shirts, one red and one white, along with two pairs of denim pants, a few panties, bra's, socks, sneakers and a leather jacket. She pulled the jacket out and tossed it back to Jake.

"I hate leather."

"I love it."

"I know… why are you being so nice?"

"Why do you always second guess me? Did I ever treat you wrong in the past?"

She narrowed her eyes on him, throwing her anger at him so he could feel how the question upset her.

"That was Lucian's fault! I treated you good after you convinced me to give up Eric. I didn't treat you as just a promised screw. If I had you wouldn't have come back to me but you did. So stop this resent toward me. What happened that day was not my fault, Lucian literally forced me to." Jake sat up in the bed and slid off the edge. He walked up to the three of them, he reached out to touch Anna's arm but decided it best not to. He could feel how sad she was, how angry she felt toward the subject. "I want him dead Anna, I've been wanting him dead since that day…" He trailed off at the look in her eyes and changed the topic to why he was there in the first place. "He wants you back, under his control like old times. One of his mindless minions."

"He's always wanted that."

"Yes, but he's been kind to you as far as your kind go. He's going to force your vampire side out."

"He can't do that, I broke away from him because I was to strong for him to control. I reached Master vampire status. Bringing it out will accomplish nothing."

"Maybe, but as he sees it your vampire side is what he made and he can still control it to an extent. Is that true?"

"He can still make it surface if he tried hard enough, but he'd have to put a great deal of energy into it, and that'll weaken him more then he would be able to take. The only way to secure my devotion to him is for him to prove he is-"

"You're dominant. I know, you guys work like werewolves in that sense. You're forgetting one thing though, where does he draw his main source of energy?"

"His kiss."

"What's his kiss?" Dean jumped in.

"Vampire kiss, that's what their called. When you have a lot of people as followers, their a kiss."

"So why do you only call us your people? Why not your kiss?" Sam asked.

"You're but two people, rogues if anything." Jake answered. "He can take their energy Anna, and use it to bring you out."

"I'm to strong for him to control."

"He refuses to believe that."

"Where'd you get this information from?" Dean asked.

"Word gets around fast." Jake replied. "Eric likes to brag about how good Lucian treats him. He was promised one of you to have as a play thing after Anna is rolled."

"Why do you care what happens to us?" Sam jumped in.

"I don't, I care what happens to her." Jake nodded toward Anna.

"What do you get out of this?" Anna said coldly.

"Nothing, but I would like your friendship back."

Anna breathed heavily and thought about what she was just told.

"After the hunt right?"

"Yes."

The conversation she had with Sam the night before played over in her head. She stared at Jake and then the boys. "I think I got an idea… Sam, remember what you said last night, about taking Lucian and the shadow vamps on at once?"

"Yeah."

"I think that'll work in this case. Lucian is going to draw his power from his kiss, but it'll be harder for him to if their in battle. They'll be using all their energy to fight."

"And bringing you out by force will take all his strength." Jake added.

"With out his people's aid, he'll be too weak to fight you." Sam concluded.

"Even if he is strong enough to put up a fight, he'll have trouble fighting me. And I'd have a better chance."

"But how do we get him to go after you at the same time we go against the shadow vamps?" Dean asked.

"Jake." Anna replied.

"Jake what?" Jake asked, shoving at the air in front of him to stop right there. "Jake doesn't want to die, this is vampire business, and I put myself in danger just by telling you this."

"Jake, I need you, please." She pleaded with her eyes and body language. He breathed heavily and sat back down on the bed.

"What do you want from me?"

"To spread rumors around. I want Eric to give word to Lucian that I have a kiss coming to town and I'm looking for a new piece of land. Give him the same reason to attack as we are, we'll be to busy and worried about the war at hand for me to put up a good fight."

"It might work, does he know you don't actually have a kiss?"

"He doesn't no if I've been hiding one or not if that's what you're asking."

Jake smiled at her. "Then it'll work."

"How long will it take for him to catch wind of it?"

"A day, maybe two tops."

"How are you going to get the shadow vamps to show up the same time as Lucian will?" Sam asked.

"I was in the woods for a reason, it's their nest."

"So we lure Lucian to the woods." Dean stated.

"Exactly."

"Sounds like a plan." Jake said. "But you know I can't take anymore part in this, I can't be there to protect you and neither can my pack. I don't want a repeat of last time…" He took a deep breath and closed his eyes for a second, remembering his last encounter with Lucian. When he opened his eyes they had gone his wolf form, ice blue, like a husky. One shade lighter and it would have been the same shade as Anna's vampire eyes. "Plus, we can't do any damage to the shadow vamps. We'd be useless."

"I know. There's one thing that bothers me though."

"What's that?" Dean asked.

"I don't want to control the kiss. If Lucian falls to me, I become Master of every vampire in this place. I don't want that. I want to keep hunting and I won't be able to do that as a real Master."

"Cant you spread them out among other kisses?" Jake asked. "Lucian turns more people then the state can hold, so he sends them away."

"I guess I can. I know a Master in San Diego who wouldn't mind some new recruits."

"Then there you have it. Problem solved." Jake smiled. "Well, I best be on my way… oh, and I'm sorry about Carden."

Anna just stared at him for a few seconds but nodded eventually.

Jake stood up slowly; it was as if he was stepping into another skin. His body forming into a half man, half wolf as he stood from the bed. He stopped the shift and stepped out of the boxers, not wanting to rip them. He grabbed it with one clawed hand and held it out to Anna. She grabbed it from him, brushing her fingertips along his palm. He smiled at her with a half muzzle, half human face, his teeth rigid and sharp. He finished the shift with much more ease then Eric had, but that's what being the strongest was, what being King meant. He was better at things then the rest. The moment he was on all four as a huge beast, he crawled over to Anna's leg and rubbed the side of his face against her thigh, lifting the shirt up a little bit but not enough to expose her. He moved to her hand that rested on her hip and sat with his nose touching it, asking the way all werewolves do for forgiveness. If she pet him, she forgave him for what Lucian had mad him do. She pet him, scratched the back of his ear and remembered just one more thing.

"I'm going to walk him out." Anna said to Sam and Dean.

Sam and Dean nodded to her and she walked Jake out the main door. When she shut the door she kneeled down beside the wolf and spoke low.

"When Lucian is gone, Eric is yours right?"

Even in wolf form Anna could tell Jake didn't like that idea, he gave one nod of his head, unable to speak in that form.

"Does he still have you watch Eric when he doesn't want Eric in trouble?"

Another nod.

"Tell Lucian I'm meeting my kiss on Friday. Come to the woods the morning after and bring Eric along with you. He won't bring Eric to the battle, he wouldn't want his pet getting hurt."

Jake stared at Anna, waiting for more of why she wanted Eric to be brought there. Anna stood up and stared down at the wolf.

"I want him dead, he's my gift to Sam and Dean."

Jake smiled up at her and nodded once more. The smile looked weird; it was more of a baring of teeth then a smile. He turned away from her and ran off around the motel. She stood there for a brief second before going back inside to see the boys getting ready and prepared for the day. She walked over to the duffle bag and pulled out the white top and a pair of jeans, along with a white bra and panty set. The shirt was a 'v' neck that would show off her cleavage.

"Leave it to Jake." She whispered. She stood up with it in a bundle in her hands and turned to the boys.

"We have a lot to talk about before Friday." She said.

"What's Friday?" Sam asked.

"When everything goes down."

"That's in two days."

"Cant wait." Dean smiled as he put on his boots.

"Yeah… me neither."
