A/N Okay, this chapter will be sad close to the end, it broke my heart just writing it. Like I always say, 5 reviews and I will update.

Mourning Song Ch12

Sam's POV

It has been a month since Edward was executed and a month since I found out I was going to be a dad. To be honest, I couldn't be happier, the love of my life was going to have my child. We haven't caught any sight of Victoria since the day we found out what really happened but Bella was determined to find her. Adram and Paul got really close over the past month, to say I was
shocked would be an understatement.

I remember when Paul shocked us all about two weeks ago. I was sitting, with Embry, waiting for Adram and Bella to return, they had to go and talk to the Cullens about the whole thing that happened with Edward. Paul was acting like a nervous wreck, it was weird. Suddenly, Adram and Bella came through the front door, but before any of us could get up to go to our imprint, Paul jumped up and ran to Adram.

"Dad are you okay? What happened? I'll kill them if you want!" Paul said. Embry, Bella and I stood there, shocked. I didn't know how to press this. What the fuck just happened?

"I'm fine kiddo, don't worry yourself to much, you'll get wrinkles." Adram stated hugging Paul back.

That day, we found out that Paul saw Adram as his dad, Adram had also become more protective of Paul. At first, Embry was jealous, but after being reassured by Adram and Paul that it was nothing he relaxed. Adram had gotten a lot nicer over time. He rebuilt the school the community center, the elders meeting center, all the public places where remodeled or rebuilt completely and our tribe accepted him as their Chief. He, Collin and Brady spent a lot of time together too, he was like their dad, also. It was nice and quiet in La Push, things seemed at peace for once, since we had all phased we were relaxed. We can't have that now, can we?

"Sam, call my brothers and the elders. We have a big problem!" Bella yelled as she ran inside, I didn't like her stressing with the baby so I did as she asked without question. I ran into the forest and phased, luckily Adram was showing Collin, Brady, Paul, and Embry how to fight like him. Great, that's just what we need, them knowing how to kick our asses.

"Well, maybe they wouldn't be able to kick your ass if you knew how to fight now, would they? Oh great former alpha," Adram taunted. I growled and the boys snickered.

"Bella wants you all at the house, now!" I said, annoyed that I'm going to tell Bella he's rubbing the whole Alpha thing in my face, again. Suddenly, I realized that I was still phased and they heard my baby tantrum. They were laughing their furry asses off. I blushed and phased back as quick as I could. I got inside with Bella and kissed her, she looked sad and scared "Baby, what's wrong? Is everything ok?" I asked, gently kissing her forehead. "We need to wait for the others," and right on time, they came packing into the living room.

"Bella, your big baby over there said you wanted to see us?" I blushed when Bella gave me a questioning look, I just shrugged. She sighed, "we have a problem, it turns out two of the Cullens have gone off the deep end and went awal. Carlisle said that they blame me for Edward's death. The only thing he heard from them before they left was one word. Volturi." We all looked at her funny.

"What the hell is a Volturi?" Adram asked, amused.

"I knew a little bit about them, Edward explained some on my 18th birthday and I got the rest from Carlisle, today. The Volturi are an ancient and powerful coven, the closest thing to royalty in the vampire world. They enforce the law by any means necessary. Aro, the head of the coven can read every thought you have ever had with just one touch."

Adram scoffed, "shouldn't be too much if he touched Joe, he would only hear three things; eat, breathe and sex." Joe scowled at the ground while everyone else snickered.

"This is serious, Adram. Marcus, one of the other kings can read emotions. Jane, she can inflict pain like you have never felt before with just a thought. Alec can cut off all your senses. There are more, many more, and if they went to them for help I don't know what to do." She sighed.

"Who was it that went? Which one of the Cullens betrayed their family and mates?" Collin asked, he had a soft spot for everyone, no matter who, or what, they were.

"Alice and Rosalie Cullen," Bella answered. Adram's eyes looked pained, I had never seen such pain in them like that before. Quil went to touch his shoulder, to ask if he was okay, when Damien jumped up and tossed him away before he could.

"Hey, what the fuck was that for, asshole?" Quil yelled at Damien.

Damien grabbed a little metal ball that was in his pocket and tossed it at Adram. The second it touched his skin it melted and started to slide off of his bare torso. WHAT THE FUCK? I held my Bella close, I didn't want her to get too close, I don't know what I would do without her.

Tears started to come out of Adram's eyes he fell to his knees and started to cry in agony, mumbling "God, no, please. Why him? Why? Please, God. Not him, help me, please." his voice, it sounded so broken, so desperate.

"Adram, what's wrong?" Bella asked, tearing up at seeing her brother like this. Embry ran past Damien and latched onto Adram, holding him whilst Adram cried. Then there were creepy, heart breaking howls filling the air.

"What is that? Or who?" Seth asked.

"It's called a Mourning Song, the wolves know one of their own will die tonight. Everyone patrols now," he looked heartbroken just saying that, I needed to find out why.

2hrs later --

Me and Bella where cuddling in our room, relaxing. God, I love her so much. I leaned down to kiss her before we fell asleep. It didn't seem like two minutes had passed when I woke up screaming, my whole body felt like it was on fire. Then it was over. I looked over to see that Bella had woken the same way. We ran outside to phase, what we saw in the forest nearly killed me. Adram, in wolf form, looking at Collin, a bite mark on his shoulder.

"I'm so sorry, I tried so hard to change it but it wouldn't let me." Adram was now human, talking to Collin who was smiling and looking at Adram.

"Don't blame yourself, sometimes things happen for a reason and this, this is a reason."

Images flashed before our eyes, memories, not ours but Collins. Somehow, in his human form he transferred his memories. We saw his first day at school, how scared he was but Brady was there to help him. It jumped to when his mom and him baked a cake for Brady's birthday. Then we saw us. The pack. Every happy memory we ever had flash before our eyes. Him and Adram having fun, laughing, playing football with us, all the bonfires and BBQs.

What I felt was unbelievable, I felt peace, love, hope and then, finally, freedom. "That's what he's feeling right now." Adram answered my silent question.

All the memories kept going, the last thing we saw was all of us, smiling and having a good time.

Then he went silent, silent in body and mind.

Adram screamed, which changed into a long, pained howl as he phased, it broke the night sky. We all joined in, we all howled. Mourning our fallen brother.

Our Mourning Song.
