~Chapter 12: Welcome To the Family~

DPOV

I was proud to say that I threw the first punch, watching his dumbfounded expression as it landed honestly made my day! Liam landed with a thud on the ground, groaning out a slur of half completed profanity before recovering and coming back for more.

I felt stronger than I did the last time we fought; it was amazing I was actually gaining the upper hand as I ruffed him up pretty badly against the forest floor. He was spatting useless words like "What are you doing?" or "Can't you see this isn't the time right now for settling this?" and "Stop!" at this my fists stopped flying, and I looked down at him and tried to calm my temper.

"It's about time." He coughed, his nose was bloodied, and his eye was squinting, as he tried to raise himself. I leapt off him, gasping for breath.

"Huh?" I piped; he wobbled back onto his feet and gave me an angered look of bewilderment.

"Don't you dare "Huh?" me, you little brat!" he spat out blood, and then turned back to me. "I came to tell you that the pack has found you out, so you're not my bait any more, UNDERSTAND?!" I pulled back a little, what did he think I was, some sort of moron?

"Yeah right, like I would believe what you say! " I huffed, I felt magnificent, and my heart was pounding happily in my chest like a beast wanting out of its cage. I licked my teeth as a smile spread across my face. I felt my body winding up ready to pounce, I felt wonderful, I felt powerful, and I was really going to enjoy this!

Then suddenly WHACK! Out of nowhere I fell to the ground shaking, my face was stinging in the worse way, and just like that my rush of energy I had before disappeared and the fog surrounding my brain did also.

"What just happened?" I mumbled, I realised Liam was shaking off pain in his hand at the same time I was gingerly rubbing the side of my face. It didn't take me long to put two and two together.

"I snapped you out of your hormone crazed instincts for the meantime." He looked down to me and I felt a chill run up the back of my neck.

"What?" I asked, trying to disrupt the awkward atmosphere.

"Man," helped me to my feet "You're going through some major sh*t now ain't you? For a second there I thought you were going to go ape on me or something?" I backed away from him, I didn't really believe the line of bull he strung me earlier and I wasn't just going to become his best friend just like that.

"Yeah, that's why I am out here. I didn't want to hurt anyone." I preferred to change the subject.

"Well, it's too late for that!" he spat me, as well as some more blood. "I thought of beating you to a pulp for what you did back in Albany, but I am thinking better than to do that to you now. I mean, you're going through your 3 days and all; it would make me look like a chump to beat up a werewolf at their most vulnerable."

I eased up a little."I didn't look very vulnerable 5 minutes ago." I grinned, remembering the look on his face when I landed one on him.

"True, but when all those excess hormones wear off, your body goes through something and your senses get knocked out of whack. And when that happens... "He stomped down on a twig, splitting it in half "you're almost human, and completely defenceless."That's what happened to me earlier didn't it?

"Which wave are you riding now?" wave? OH wave of hormones!

" I think my third?" I mumbled, just counting the third one from a moment ago.

He went a little ridged when I said this, his face looked up to mine and I saw full out worry in his eyes. Then he got closer to me and whispered that this was going to be the rough one. I felt my hand shake as I tensed it, it was so easy for my instincts to take me over without me even realising it -perfect example was the red mark on my face for that matter- so what was I going to do if it got any worse?

"And another thing, about the pack, you see there are not many kids born from the pack that actually make it to adult hood, and not many are born period. " He walked around me, literally beating at the bush. "I saw a guy talking with a bunch of pack members stating that he smelled your scent up here while going on a hike and was telling his friends how much you smelled of someone he knows." My head turned, following his gaze.

"So what are you implying?" I grumbled, for some reason my voice felt rough.

"I never wanted to tell you at first when we just met, but you do have the scent of pack offspring." He stopped and held his gaze skyward at the moon, and as they shimmered I could picture him howling to it with his eyes.

"And...?" I felt my stomach twist, but tried not to show myself acting anxious.

"The newest litter of offspring were born in 1994 and of that only one is still with the pack. There were 4 others."

"What happened to the other 4?" my hand muscles were twitching and my skin began to feel itchy.

"They were kidnapped at 10 weeks old; nobody knows what happened to them." The knot in my stomach got tighter. "And they were the Alpha's kids too." I was about to lose my lunch.

"You're not saying?" He came up to me and squeezed my shoulder.

"Welcome to the family young pup." I saw his eyes burn with an icy blaze with interest.

I felt a pang rear up me then I fell to my knees. My body was shaking, and I knew it was coming; I gulped air as I fell to my stomach, Liam there at my side.

"It's coming." I mouthed, but when I looked up, he shook his head.

"No," he proclaimed "It's already here."

CPOV

With a sound of thunder go off in the distance, it ended. I was breathing heavily watching him over top of me, eyeing my being with his auburn glare.

"This can't wait till morning Chloe, I have to tell you now." Well you sure as hell got my attention!

I tried to push him off, but he was strong for his slim appearance.

"Chloe I... I love you!" He released his grip on me and stood up; and I sat up and faced him. "Chloe, there has never been a girl that I liked that every measured up to you. I dream about you, I think about you, you never leave my mind! I had to tell you before Derek came back to ruin things and_"

Everything went by in slow motion, all I could recall was myself flying up from the bed, and hearing the smack of flesh. Then I saw Simon's body being twisted, and slowly lurch back. Tears were pouring from my eyes as my hand swung backward in recoil.

His face was sober and pale; the glimmer left his eyes as we stood there, me in wordless anger, and him probably in shock.

"You should be ashamed of yourself! Derek is out in the middle of the woods going to hell and all you care about is getting a girlfriend!" he backed away, his eyes horror struck as he placed his hand against the heating skin on his face. He furrowed his brows, and somehow seemed like he was looming over me.

"All I hear coming from your mouth lately is about DEREK! How is he? Is he ok? Right now I wish he was here." He grabbed the door frame to retain himself. "I don't care if he is in pain right now or not, I want to knock his lights out for charming you away from me!"

"Stop being such a child Simon!"

"Then stop breaking my heart Chloe!" My eyes grew wide, I broke his heart!? :O

I heard the front door open with a bang, and found the voice of a man calling my name.

"CHLOE! I NEED CHLOE SAUNDERS!" I ran past Simon felling a cold chill as he planted his eyes on me, and raced down the hallway, from the stairs I spotted a ratted up Liam just inside the front door, his eyes wide and body bent over like he just ran a marathon... huffing. He must of saw my alarm because he quickly raised his hands and bucked up.

"Please, I didn't come to cause you harm, Derek is going through his full change." Simon was behind me, and Tori stirred also and made her way quickly from her room.

"Derek?!" I asked completely off guard.

"You have to come; I am worried he might not make it."

"NO!" I was about to step down when a hand grabbed my shoulder.

"This isn't safe Chloe, this sounds like a trap." It was Simon, and my feelings boiled over.

"Don't touch me!" I said, and then ran down the stair case not really thinking about what I was getting into. I just wanted to get away from Simon, and I wanted to see Derek, he would know what to do.

"Chloe?" Tori called down, I turned back to face her.

"Derek needs me!" she looked down at me and Liam, she bit her lip as she tried to assess what was going on then left Simon's side and started running towards Andrew's office.

"I heard Andrew waking up, he won't approve of this so I'll hold him off for as long as I can!" I knew she wouldn't let me down.

"I'm coming with you then." Simon said, I shook my head no, and gave him a hateful look. I didn't like doing this, but I was ticked off and worried about Derek, and I had to keep Simon from seeing Derek transform. Derek would hate me for bringing him along. I owed it at least to the guy to keep my promise.

"No Simon, Derek only wants me to come." I saw him freeze, I knew I broke his heart again, and it just about broke mine also. No matter what just happened between us, I didn't have the heart to be this cruel to Simon. But before I could rethink what I just said, Liam grabbed me by the arm and thrust me out the door.

"There is not time for petty chit chat, we have to get back!"

"Chloe!" Simon cried from the open door, as he watched us running into the night. I looked back, and saw his features break down and pound the door with his fist.

"This way!" Liam said quickly, releasing my arm just to lower it to my hand. Soon I heard the sounds of heaving, and the chilling gasps raspy huffing.

And while this was all going on, in the back of my mind I was wondering...- I swallowed hard- was I ready for what I was about to see?

Then we broke through the bush...

Well, I think I may have made it a little too long, oh well! As long as you guys enjoy it I don't mind.

Pleaz review and if you think of it give me a name please!
