A/N: Sorry that this is so short, but it's a transition chapter. Please don't forget to continue to review! Thank you so much for those who reviewed on the last chapter and the ones before. I responded to your reviews from chapter 15 down below.

Alex/Bluerose22: Thank you so much! I agree, Sam/OC are one of my favorite pairings!

DramaQueen1989: Thank you! I originally had Katie going with her and having Sam flip out, blah blah, but I decided against it. Yeah, the more I thought about it, Katie is her own person and I didn't want this to a story that was Bella-centric even though she isn't a main character. She is a wolf girl.

LovelyBlue99: Here ya go! Thank you!

Guest: Yeah, there's not a lot of Sam/OC stories. Thank you!

MariMart: Thank you, I thought the ending was fitting :)

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or any of the characters.

Sam's POV

The days passed by slowly, taunting me. I took over most of the patrol, trying to get my mind off of what had happened between me and Kate. She was right. I had neglected her and allowed the Alpha to come before being hers.

Then, she broke her hand on my face. I had to be the absolute worst imprinter in the world. Not only had I hurt her emotionally, I had scarred her and caused her physical pain. I couldn't blame her if she chose to stay away from me but I couldn't help but pray that she didn't.

Tonight, I had the night off patrol, so I planned on trying to catch up some sleep. I knew that all I would do was lie in bed, thinking about Katie, then catching an hour or two or sleep. I was in the shower when I heard the front door open and then suddenly slam shut. I quickly shut off the water and wrapped a towel around my waist. Paul on currently patrolling and I thought that Jared was taking Kim out to Port Angeles, the only other person is could have been was...

"Kate?" She was standing in front of the door, breathing as if she had just finished running a marathon. Her hair was a few shades darker than it was last time I saw her.

Next thing I know, she was in my arms, holding on tight. I chose not to question it right away and hugged her back. I felt better as soon as we made contact. Kate was my remedy.

Once Kate had calmed down enough to talk, she basically shoved me into my bedroom to put clothes on. I couldn't help that smirk that my body distracted her. Nevertheless, I put clothes on.

"What's going on?"

"I need you to promise me that you won't overreact…" She bit her lip.

"I promise."

Once she finished explaining what had happened the past couple days, I suddenly wished that I hadn't promised her that. I wanted to find the Cullens and strangle them for allowing my Kate to get in danger. What if they realized she was human and came looking for her?

"I need to call the elders…" I started pacing the floor, wondering how exactly I would explain this to them. I really had to be the worst Alpha in history.

"Sam." Kate's stern voice stopped my muttering and my pacing. "The Cullens are taking care of Bella. I want to focus on us tonight." I was about to argue with her, but I realized that we would have been back at square one. As long as she was with me, she was safe.

So, I sat on the couch, allowing her to lay with her head in my lap. Once we started watching a movie, her focus was on the television, which let me just look at her.

"What?" She caught me looking at her.

"I don't want to ever lose you."

Her response was to kiss me. I had no objection.

Katie's POV

The next couple days passed with no word from Bella. I knew that she had no way of reaching me since my cell phone was currently in my bedroom and she didn't have Sam's number. However, that didn't stop me from worrying like crazy. Sam was by my side the entire time, which made me grateful. I knew that at time, he snuck out to patrol but he was always back before I woke up in the morning.

Since I arrived at his house, I took over the chores, needing something to keep me busy. Sam tried to draw the line since I still had a splint on my hand, but he knew I needed a distraction so he hovered from a distance to make sure that I didn't hurt myself.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed living with Sam, even though I technically didn't live with him. The need to be around him all the time was satisfied and I knew it would only be worse when I finally went back to live with dad and Bella. For the time being, I tried to not think about it.

"This is nice." I snuggled into his chest, enjoying the warmth he provided. Sam had wanted to watch the new Batman movie, so I contently cuddled with him while he watched the movie while absentmindedly playing with my hair.

"I don't want you to leave." He admitted after a few minutes of silence. "You know what?"

"Hmm?"

"You should move in with me."

"Really?" I looked up at him.

"I love you Kate. I really think we should live together." He looked serious, but I could see a look of hopefulness in his eyes.

Part of me wanted to say no. We were both only 19 and hadn't been dating for a full year yet. Hell, we were dysfunctional part of the time. But, as I thought about it, I realized that we weren't a normal couple. Sam imprinted on me. That meant he was mine forever. I didn't have to worry about him wandering or cheating...

"Yeah. Let's do it." I leaned up and kissed him softly.

Lately, the kissing had become more intense, as well as the touching. I knew it had something to do with the fact that Sam and I haven't had sex yet. Our bodies were ready for the next level.

As soon as I had Sam's shorts unbuttoned and my shirt off, the front door was thrown open. Sam jumped off the couch and threw my shirt at me.

Jared stood in the doorway, frozen. "Oh god." He turned around, most likely due to the fact that I was in the process of putting my shirt back on.

"What do you want, Jared?" Sam snaps.

"Chief Swan knows you're not with Bella." Shit.
