Hey guys here is chapter 5! Sorry it took so long to update my muse wasn't working. Read, review and enjoy! All the feeback means alot!

"Are you okay?" Daxton asked Leighanne as she walked out of Fangtasia with a blank expression on her face.

"Yes, I'm fine." Leighanne answered as Eric appeared behind her.

"Alcide, Daxton can you see that she makes it home? I have to stay here and talk to the police." Eric asked as Alcide nodded.

"I will keep watch over them tonight." Alcide added as Eric looked at him with a small smile.

"Thanks. I will see you soon." Eric said as he kissed Leighanne's lips gently.

"Leigh what's wrong?" Daxton asked as they got into Alcide's truck.

"Eric told me some things tonight and I'm not sure how I feel about it." Leighanne said as she rubbed her forehead with her hand.

"What did he tell you?"

"The wolves let Bill go. They aren't interested in Sookie anymore." Leighanne explained as her friend and the werewolf looked on. "Apparently I'm more powerful than Sookie since my powers are more defined than hers. They think that I would be more helpful to them so they let Bill go. Killing the vampire was their calling card." She added as Alcide looked at her with wide eyes.

"No wonder my packmaster was so interested in you. Don't worry Leigh as long as Eric and I are around nothing will harm you." Alcide said as Leighanne nodded and he pulled the truck to a stop.

"Guys, I am going to come in the house with you when you go in. These are an extra set of my clothes, I will need them after I get in. You two sit on the porch and wait for me. I am going to hide my truck. When I get back I am going to shift and you guys can tell Arlene that you are keeping my dog for the night." Alcide explained as the girls quickly got out of the truck and sat on the porch watching Alcide speed away.

Daxton and Leighanne sat on the porch swing listening to the crickets and other sounds of the night.

"How did I get dragged into this Dax? Now I wish I never left." Leighanne said as she looked at her friend with a sad face.

"Think about it this way Leigh. If you never left home you would have never met Eric and I would have never met Alcide." Daxton said with a smile as Leighanne nodded.

"I'm glad I did, but sometimes I wish I didn't. Then I wouldn't have been dragged into this mess."

"True, but with or without him they probably would have found you anyway." Daxton replied as they heard the gravel crunching.

"I heard my name. I hope you were speaking well of me." Eric said with a smirk as Leighanne shook her head.

"Of course we were. Find out anything else?" Leighanne asked as Eric walked up the steps and sat down in a chair beside the swing.

"Pam was unable to find anything small that the victim had touched I was thinking maybe you could come back with me to my house tonight and search the bar in the morning while it's closed."

"Sure. Dax are you okay with being alone with Alcide?" Leighanne asked with a smile as Daxton laughed.

"I think I can manage. See you tomorrow afternoon." Daxton answered as Leighanne smiled at her and got in her car with Eric.

Daxton waved and sighed as she sat back down on the swing and patiently awaited Alcide's return.

After a few minutes a beautiful wolf came walking up the path.

"Alcide?"

The wolf winked causing Daxton to laugh and smile as she walked through the door.

"Leighanne not coming home tonight?" Arlene asked as she looked at Daxton who walked in the door.

"I don't think so Arlene. By the way, I'm watching my friend's dog tonight." Daxton said as she started up the stairs.

"Good lord that thing looks like a wolf!"

"It's a husky not a wolf I promise you Arlene." Daxton said with a laugh as she shut the door to her room.

Daxton let out a breath as she put Alcide's clothes on the bed.

"I'm going to go get a shower feel free to shift." Daxton said as she grabbed shorts and a tank top from the dresser and quickly went in the bathroom.

Alcide shifted as Daxton peeked around the corner and smiled brightly.

"Nice ass!" Daxton yelled with a grin as Alcide laughed.

"No peeking!"

"Sorry! Couldn't help myself." Daxton said with a laugh as she shut the door and quickly took a shower.

When she got out she saw that Alcide was laying on her bed this time fully dressed watching something on TV.

"Anything interesting?"

"Nope." Alcide said as he turned the television off and turned around to look at Daxton who got under the covers.

"If you don't mind me asking how long were you and your ex together?" Daxton asked as Alcide sighed and rolled on his back.

"Probably around four years just like you and your ex. We were engaged for a little bit until she found out I didn't want to have kids. She got mad and ended it. Now she's into drugs and is engaged to the rival packmaster." Alcide explained as he looked up at the ceiling.

Daxton looked at him with a sad face then reached over and touched his face.

"You deserve better than that Alcide. I'm sorry you went through that."

"Thanks." He added as he turned around to face Daxton.

"You are a good guy. It was her loss." Daxton added as Alcide moved closer to her.

Before Daxton could stop him Alcide softly kissed her lips and after a few minutes broke it.

"Goodnight, cher."

"Goodnight." Daxton replied in shock as she drifted off to sleep in Alcide's arms.

~Eric's House~

Leighanne stood on the balcony of Eric's house and marveled at the beauty of the night. Eric had been a gracious host and gave her a tour of the house that he shared with Pam and a couple other vampires. He left her alone so that she could change clothes and get settled.

A week ago when Leighanne had arrived in Louisiana all she wanted to do was leave. She thought everything was dead and barren just as the life that she left there. As she stood in the balcony she thought that the night seemed more alive.

She closed her eyes as a gentle breeze blew making her regret the sheer summer dress that she had changed into.

As if reading her mind Eric came up behind Leighanne and wrapped his arms around her causing her to jump.

"Are you cold?" Eric asked as Leighanne nodded. "Sorry I didn't mean to frighten you." He added as Leighanne leaned against him melting in his embrace.

She put her hands on top of his as they stood in silence just holding each other.

"Do you have everything you need?" Eric asked breaking the silence.

"Yes. Thanks Eric. Thank you for looking out for me." Leighanne said as Eric tightened his grip around her waist.

"Anything for you beautiful." He whispered in her ear causing her to shiver. He whispered something in a language she didn't understand before he pulled her hair back and gently kissed her neck.

He nibbled a little causing Leighanne to moan as she turned around and faced him. It was then that she realized he was wearing only lose workout pants and a red robe and his fangs were fully extended.

She walked closer and touched his fangs as he took her hand in his and kissed it.

He brought her closer to him as he kissed her lips softly, deepening it as the minutes wore on. They tore at each others clothes before Eric picked Leighanne up effortlessly and threw her on the bed.

Leighanne moaned as his fangs nipped at her throat and moved her hair as if she was inviting Eric to bite her.

"Are you sure?" Eric asked in a husky voice as Leighanne nodded.

Eric bit into her neck causing her to scream a bit.

"Eric now." She yelled as he entered her.

"Leighanne wake up."

Leighanne jumped as she woke up breathing heavy and realized that it was just a dream.

"What were you dreaming about? You were making some serious happy noises. You must have been dreaming about me." Eric said with a smirk as Leighanne realized he was sitting at the end of her bed.

"In your dreams." Leighanne said as she put her head back down on the pillow and drifted back to sleep.
