Hey! so here's chapter 7, shorter than normal but the end seemed like a good place to stop. I don't know if anyone actually reads these messages from me, but if you do, I'd like your input into the story.

Should Bella make Sam work for a relationship?

Should Emily be a bitch? or a nice person?

Also, I've decided that I'm gonna try update on Mondays and Thursdays as best as I can.

Thanks for reading!

Previously…

I was lost in my thoughts and I didn't notice the twigs breaking from behind me as something grabbed my neck and cut off my breathing.

'Well what do we have here then…?'

BPOV

The warm hand that was wrapped around my neck tightened as I tried to stutter out an answer. I couldn't get my words out as my oxygen was slowly decreasing.

'A pretty little thing like you shouldn't be out here all alone, what shall we do with you?'

'Ppplease don'ttt hurttt mee.' I managed to get out.

'No, I'd never do that,' He said sarcastically, 'I know! Your Sam's imprint aren't you, let's make a nice video for him so he'll stop messing with me and my pack.' He threw me against a tree and I curled up into the smallest ball possible to try and keep away from him.

He whipped a video camera out and began filming. The hand had been removed from my neck and my brain was engaging. He was on his own so there was a chance I could get away. But where would I go? He'd know these woods better than me and I was feeling pretty lost and disorientated. I vaguely recognised this man. I thought back and remembered he was from the Makah reservation. I must have wondered onto their land. Crap.

'Say hi,' he taunted, 'So Sam, I told you to stop messing with me and here we are with your imprint, I think I'll make her scream, then you'll have no choice but to take revenge, then my pack and I will obliterate you. I don't know who you think you are, but you're nothing compared to us.' He was circling me slowly and I felt exposed and vulnerable. He ripped my t shirt off me, leaving me in my bra.

A howl broke him out of his reverie and his eyes snapped to me. His murderous gaze had be cowering against the trunk of the tree.

'How did you contact them!' He snapped angrily as 4 huge wolves came out of the woods.

The wolves growled at him and he realised he wasn't going to win this fight. He ran off, leaving me with huge wolves. There coats were the colours of the forest – Russet red, brown like the trees, midnight black and a silver birch grey. They were horse-like in size – in other words – huge. Their eyes seemed to be full of character and they held no anger towards me. I engaged my brain and realised that they were probably the boys from the res. There was no way that natural wolves could be this big. And that would also explain why he wanted to know how I had contacted them. The huge black one trotted behind a tree and came back out as Sam.

'Oh my God Bella, are you okay, did he hurt you? I swear we'll get him. I'll make him pay.' He rambled as he checked me over fully.

I placed my hand on his arm and said, 'Sam I'm fine.' He draped his hoodie round me and picked me up. He started walking back in the direction I came in.

'I was so worried when Jared said you weren't at home. I can't believe that idiot had the nerve to come onto our land. Our land. I hate him. But thank God you're okay. Please don't ever do that to me ever again.'

'I didn't expect to be gone so long. Sorry Sam.' I hung my head in shame.

'Hey,' he replied tipping my chin up with his finger. 'I know this is all new to you and you probably just wanted some time to yourself. Jared told me he told you about everything. I'm sorry about the imprint, I don't want to trap you here but it's so hard for me to be without you. I don't know what to do with Emily and how I feel for you. Can we talk tomorrow after you've had a good cup of tea to warm you through and a full nights rest?'

'I'd like that. Thanks.' We walked for a little longer and I felt safe and secure in his warm arms.

We were just arriving at my house and all the lights were on. Jared had obviously told Charlie that I was missing. Sam put me down and told me he'd come get me at 11.00am the next morning to talk.

I walked through the door and was immediately engulfed in a hug from Charlie.

'Where were you? Are you okay?'

'I'm fine Dad, Sam brought me home.'

'Okay, you want a cup of tea?' He was fussing over me.

'Please.' He made me my tea and I headed to bed thinking over what had just happened.

Sam was really nice to me which I wasn't expecting. I thought he'd resent me for the imprint. Hopefully we'd get things straightened out tomorrow and there would be no awkwardness between us.

?POV

I can't believe I had my hands on her. She was the key to killing off Sam and his stupid pack. They didn't stand a chance against us. They had an allegiance with those bloodsuckers for crying out loud and now that the alpha has an imprint they'll be too easy to pick off. These next few months will be interesting.

Just to let you know, I deliberately kept the name of the attacker a secret, all will be revealed next chapter.
