Just because I love the reviews I have gotten so far I will actually write the next chapter. One of the reviews stated that my chapters are too short. I know this and it frustrates me to the point I am pulling out my hair literally. I keep trying to make them longer but then I have to edit them so it makes them shorter. Plus if I write a long chapter it ends up being two chapters and then my story doesn't flow the way I want it too. I am glad that you all are enjoying my story. I just had a feeling to write this a couple of years ago but never did. But since school is out for the summer I have more time and should be updating more frequently. But also right now I have to share my laptop with my mom so it may be a few days to a week before I update so I apologize in advance. If you have any ideas for the story like what you want from the story leave it in a review and if it goes along the plot I am using I will totally use it and give you credit before the chapter starts. So NOW to the chapter and sorry for the long author's note. I can be a little long winded sometimes.

Chapter 11: Running

Quil's POV:

I ran outside and into the woods and phased.

Shit, if Quil finds out…I heard Jared's voice trail out.

EVERYBODY SHUT THE HELL UP! HE'S HERE! Paul and Embry thought.

What happened? Where's Claire? WHERE IS SHE? I yelled, panicking. I ran where their voices were. I saw all of the wolves, even Sam had phased. They were in a circle and closed all of the gaps so I didn't have a chance in hell to see what they were hiding.

Quil you don't want to see this. Sam said softly.

Sam, PLEASE let me through. Please Sam, I'm begging you.

Quil, I can't. I can't command them now and you know it. I am no longer the Alpha. He said sternly. I saw regret and pain in his eyes. I knew it wasn't because he wasn't Alpha anymore. He was ready to step down so he could age with Emily and their son.

Paul, I said softly, Is it Claire? If it is I have a right to get through.

Paul looked hesitant. I could feel the conflict within him to lead his pack to protect me or to let me see what I needed and had a right to see. He slowly nodded to me and ordered the pack to move. They remained statues for only a moment before they split in two to let me pass through them. I weaved my way through them and stood in front of my sweet Claire. My sweet, dead, Claire. The bullet wound went straight through her skull. There was a small trail of blood by the entrance wound. I knelt down beside her and pulled the top half of her body in my lap. I stroked her hair and sniffled. I wiped my eyes with the back of my hand. Then, I noticed something. The cables attaching me to her weren't snapping.

What do you mean, Quil? How can it not be her? Embry said.

Before I could answer, Brady came running like there was no tomorrow.

There's a new leech! Claire's sent is with he- Wh-wh-what happened? He stammered, looking at Claire.

It can't be her Quil. She can't be dead she was with the leech a few minutes ago. Her scent was too strong for her to be dead.

I know Brady. I'm going to find her.

Okay, so I know this one is really short but it's the best I could do without writing the next chapter with it. Anyway, keep up the reviews and I'll keep up the chapters.
