I heard a snapping and snarling as I woke up. I jerked myself awake and looked at my mate standing between the rest of the pack and me in wolf form. The only problem was, he couldn't seem to decide weather to kill me or protect me. I did the only thing I could think to do. " Darius!" I screamed out as loud as I could. There was a crash and Darius, in his wolf form, was now in between my mate and me.

D is big. Some people would say that the La Push gang was tall. But, if they said that then they hadn't met Darius. His huge form towered over my mates. My head was still spinning. I reached out and lightly stroked Darius's pitch-black coat and sighed softly.

My mate had backed up a few feet and was eyeing us. He still looked torn, but the fake blond was crouched near him. " Seth, baby you need to calm down." She called in an unnaturally gentle tone. I hated my mate's name even coming out of her mouth. Everything about her was fake and Seth deserved something real. Sam stepped forward and managed to get to Seth's side.

" Seth buddy, do you really want to do this here?" Sam asked softly. Seth shuddered and turned jumping out of the window Darius had came through. Darius laid down and allowed me to sling myself partially across his back and stroke his silky fur. I took a calming breath and purposely ignored everyone's stares until I had calmed enough to speak. I had almost forgotten that I had sent Darius here when I first found out I was gong to be living here. I had missed him.

Sam walked slowly forward and stopped when Darius gave a soft growl. " Who is this?" He asked softly never taking his eyes off D. I sighed and nuzzled deeper into D's fur. " This is Darius. He is my second in command. He is one of the five left of my pack. I sent him down here, when I discovered La Push was to be my new home to find a place for what was left of my pack."

Sam nodded. " Can we speak to him in person?" I gripped Darius's fur tighter in my hands, and then released him my room's upstairs." He stood and walked carefully upstairs. They creaked a little at his weight. He would find some of his clothes in my closet and be back in moments.

I stood and grabbed Darius's hand as he glided down the stairs. He kissed my hair and tucked me protectively into his side and held his hand out to Sam. " Darius." He rarely spoke to anybody, but me and when he did it was short and to the point. " Nice to meet you Darius. I'm Sam, and this is Paul, Jared, Jacob, Embry, Quil, Collin, Brady, Sadie, Leah, and Seth." He replied as Seth walked through the door and joined Sam on his side of the room.

" So you're big." Leah murmured a little flustered sounding. " I've heard." Darius replied shortly. Leah blushed. " I mean Cadence is so small. I just assumed everyone in her pack was the same size." Darius nodded.

" Cadence is one of a kind. The other four are just as big as I am maybe just a hair smaller." Jacob stepped forward. He was the male that had driven the car earlier. " You might be who we've been waiting for."

Suspenseful music. I tried to add more spaces. I hope it works out.
