An: Ok, this is the last chapter and you have no idea how hard it was. I hate writing endings because I never know how to end it. I even added a bit of suspense that has nothing to do with the story except maybe to further traumatize Draco…but don't worry, I am a fan of happy endings, and my happy ending even seems a bit cheesy. Whatever. Enjoy! :)

Draco awoke slowly to the soft caressing touches of Jacob. The shifter was running his fingers through Draco's blond hair and whispering for him to wake up.
"Draco," Jacob whispered and pressed a light kiss to Draco's forehead, "wake up Draco. There's a healer here from London. She's going to heal your wounds."
Draco felt like his head was going to explode. His back stung from the wound he got when he hit the tree and his whole body ached. When he opened his eyes, he noticed it was still dark outside.
"What time is it?" He asked Jacob who still lay beside him.
"It's five in the morning. The healer is here. She's looking over Paul right now to make sure his bones are healing correctly. She'll come in any second now."
Draco had fallen asleep on his stomach and he now tried to get up but was halted when the pain erupted in his back.
"Try not to move a lot." Jacob said and helped Draco lay on his side.
There was a knock on the door and then a woman with her hair in a bun came in.
"Hope I'm not intruding." She came to stand next to Draco, his back to her. She wore a white healers robe and carried a small gray bag. "How are you doing Mr. Malfoy?" She asked as she examined the exposed wound with her wand and then used the wand to accio some potions from her bag.
"In pain." Draco said and Jacob grabbed his hand to comfort him.
"I would expect you to be. This is a serious wound." She placed three vials, a green a blue and a clear liquid, on the night stand and turned to Jacob. "Now I need you to help him sit up, so he can take the potions." Jacob helped Draco sit up and held him in place about a foot away from the backboard of the bed.
Draco felt his head swim as he sat up. He grabbed the first potion that was given to him and swallowed it down. Almost immediately he felt a tingle down his back and then a terrible itch. Once he took the second potion, the aching in his body and mostly on his back disappeared.
"And this last potion is to help your body recover strength, blood loss and nutrients. You lost a lot of blood, over sixty percent of it and it will take a few days for your body to recover completely."
"Thank you." Draco said as he swallowed the last potion. "Can I get a potion for my headache as well?"
"Absolutely." The woman accio-ed another potion and handed it over to Draco. She grabbed her bag and walked over to Jacob's side. "Let's see how you're doing." She pulled her wand and waved it over Jacob, then pulled out a blue potion. "This should help strengthen you're healing bones. It will help heal it faster so you should be good as new in just a few hours.
"Awesome." Jacob said smiling and gulped down the potion and made a face. "Ugh, that's disgusting."
*"Well what'd you expect, pumpkin juice?"* The woman said and began to pull out several vials from her bag. "I will leave you 7 vials, Draco. Be sure to drink one every 6 hours. There's enough for today and tomorrow, but by then you should be feeling a lot better. The rest of your strength can be recovered on your own, but be sure to rest." She turned to look at Jacob, "Be sure to keep him in bed at least until tomorrow morning."
"I will."
"Well, I'm off to check on Miss Lovegood over at the vampire household. Vegetarian vampires, can you believe it?" she huffed in bewilderment. "Never thought I'd see the day…" she stared off into the distance for a second, "Good day to you two." She smiled as she left, closing the door behind her before the two injured in bed could give her a thanks or a goodbye.
"She was a bit odd." Jacob said smiling.
"Trust me, they all are." Draco said as he began to lie on his stomach once more, head turned to Jacob.
Jacob watched as Draco lay down. The bed covers were up to the boys' waist, his back exposed to the chilly early morning air. The shifter lay on his side facing Draco, head held up on his right hand. He looked at the pale creamy skin of the blondes back and tenderly ran his fingers along the boys' contours.
"You're so beautiful." Jacob whisper and watched as Draco's silver eyes opened to look up at him.
"Beautiful?" Draco's eyes looked away, "I've now got another ugly scar to match the one on my chest."
Jacob looked at the ragged red line that formed between Draco's shoulder blades. He leaned down and kissed the healing injury.
Draco gasped when he felt those warm lips upon his back and he looked up at the shifter in teary eyes.
"They're not ugly." He placed another kiss on the injury, "Nothing about you is ugly." He leaned down and placed his lips on Draco's lips, which immediately opened and melded onto Jacobs.
Draco turned to lie on his side and continued to kiss Jacob. He threw a leg over the shifter's waist and one of Jacob's legs came to rest between his legs.
Before things got out of hand, Jacob pulled away from the kiss, reigning in his lust for the boy.
"We can't," he gasped, "You're hurt and you need to rest."
"I'm feeling a lot better." Draco whispered as he kissed and nipped at Jacob's neck, running his hands over the tanned and muscled back.
"Draco, come on." Jacob whispered and pressed a kiss to the boys' temple to get him to stop.
Draco pouted but finally stopped and rested his head under Jacobs chin, tucked cozily against the shifter's chest.
"Try to sleep some more before everyone wakes." Jacob lazily ran his fingers through the blond hair.
Not a minute passed by when he felt Draco grind up against him, making him gasp in pleasure. "Draco, please." He pleaded to the boy who giggled. "God, you're gonna drive me insane."
"You love it." Draco said with a smile and finally closed his eyes to sleep.
"Yea…I do." Jacob whispered to an already dozing blonde and placed a gentle kiss to his temple.

It was around ten in the morning when everyone started to wake. Tonks, Sirius and Remus were the first to wake and were drinking fresh coffee, courtesy of Winky, outside on the front porch. Hermione and Blaze woke up next. Hermione blushed when she realized that her hair had gotten in a tangled mess during the night and Blaze chuckled, reached over and redirected a loose strand of hair behind her ear.
"It looks good on you." He smiled and Hermione blushed even more.
Paul and Ron had woken up and were silently talking. Ron had slept in the bed beside Paul and now lay huddled against the shifter, a constant flush to his cheeks. He was going to need some getting used to this type of relationship.
Jacob awoke to an empty bed. The moment he realized Draco wasn't in bed and nowhere to be seen he jumped out of bed and ran out the room, only to be stopped by a sleepy eyed blonde coming out of the bathroom.
"What's wrong?" He asked and was immediately lifted into Jacob's arms without warning. "What are you doing?"
"You're supposed to be on bed rest." He laid the boy back on the bed.
"I was just using the bathroom." Draco said, bewilderment written all over his face.
"You should have woken me up." Jacob pulled the blanket up to cover Draco.
"What, are you gonna carry me to the bathroom and back?" Draco was being sarcastic. "Are you serious?" he asked shocked as he noticed the seriousness to Jacob's expression.
"I love you Draco and the healer said you are to stay in bed till tomorrow, and damn it, I will keep you in bed even if I have to tie you down myself." Jacob said sitting next to the blond, who was sitting upright looking at Jacob in giddy bewilderment.
Draco chuckled. "I love you too, but please, save the kinky ropes till after our guests leave the house."
"I'm being serious, Draco."
"I am too." The blond flashed a smile, "No, but really you're not carrying me every time I have to use the bathroom. I promise," he continues quickly before Jacob could protest, "I will stay in bed all day if you let me walk to the bathroom myself."
Draco found it amusing as he saw Jacob's expressions as he considered his proposal.
"You won't get up for a single reason besides using the bathroom?"
"I promise."
Draco loved the way he looked. He seemed just like a giant puppy, with his defeated expression and big warm brown eyes. Draco could almost imagine Jacob in his wolf form whining about it.
Jacob let out a long sigh. "Alright. But if you get up for an instant then the deals off."
Draco nodded, feeling all giddy and happy about things at the moment. Everyone he cared about was safe, a few injuries but nothing deathly. He had his giant lovable shifter loving him and caring so much for his wellbeing that he couldn't help but smile and pull the shifter into a long deep kiss.
"Ahem."
They broke apart and looked at the door where Harry and Edward now stood."
"Sorry to interrupt," Harry said with a smile on his face, not at all looking apologetic.

Draco would have liked to say that he had no idea how he as well as everyone else were now having breakfast in his room, but he did know because it was Jacob who had threatened that Draco was not to leave his bed, so everyone resolved to eat in his room. Draco and Jacob took the top half of the bed while Hermione and Harry sat at the bottom half. Paul and Ron had sat on the window bench while Edward and Alice, who had also come along with Harry and Edward, stood by one wall. Sirius, Remus, and Tonks had transfigured chairs for themselves. They had offered one for Edward and Alice but they had declined politely.
"…so as soon as the minister realized what we were up too, he had aurors attack us claiming we were in liege with Bellatrix. Can you believe the nerve of that man?" Sirius exclaimed and stuffed another spoonful of scrambled eggs in his mouth.
"Yes well it was thanks to Tonks who managed to turn things around." Remus continued. "She managed to get into Fudge's rooms just as he was about to floo away. She hexed him, shoved veritaserum down his throat and brought him down to where the major fighting was taking place."
"And he had no choice but to tell the truth in front of everyone, including the daily prophet." Tonk's said with a proud smile on her face, her hair bright purple at the moment.
There was a moment where everyone laughed and then everyone just kind of fell into a comfortable silence. They all continued to eat, with the exception of Edward and Alice.
"It faded." Draco said, breaking the silence and getting everyone's attention.
"What faded?" Hermione asked.
Without answering, Draco turned his wrist up and everyone was able to see that the dark mark that was once black against his pale skin was now faded to a light gray.
Draco smiled lightly at everyone and then to Jacob. "He's gone, really gone this time."
Jacob couldn't help himself. He pulled the boy into a tight hug. He was glad to finally be able to see a true, genuine, worry-free smile on his imprints face.
"I told you everything would be ok." Jacob whispered into the blonds ear.
"Ahem." Someone cleared their throat and the two pulled away, a blush on their faces. They were having an intimate moment even if they weren't kissing or touching, and everyone was feeling awkward.
The sun was barely beginning to set and Draco was walking back to bed from the bathroom when Alice came rushing up to meet him.
"Draco, she's leaving." Alice said and Draco looked confused for a second.
"Who's leaving?"
"You probably hate her, I know almost everyone else does, but I thought you should know." Alice ushered Draco to lie back in bed. "Bella, she's leaving."
Draco flinched at the mention of the girl's name. They had known each other for such a small amount of time, but there had been so many conflicting emotions between them as well as physical violence, that it caused a permanent scar in Draco's memory.
"Leaving like, moving away?"
Alice nodded. "I had a vision of her when she made the decision. She knows there's nothing left for her here so she's moving to Florida with her mother. Her plane leaves from Seattle in 2 hours."
Draco didn't know what to say. He didn't know how to feel about it and especially didn't know what to feel about her. How do you feel about someone who you tried to be friends with and then that person tried to kill you? You should feel anger and hatred, but Draco was only able to feel sad for the girl. Yes, he was angry for what she did, for being so jealous, but then he couldn't help but feel a bit of guilt. If he had never come to Fork's, then she never would have lost everything she had going with these magical creatures. Yet at the same time, Draco knew that if he had never come, then Jacob would have never imprinted and would have followed in painful pursuit of the girl who would never pick him. So there was the anger again, why did she do what she did when she didn't pick Jacob? When she already had Edward?
'Thank you for telling me." Draco said tersely and pulled the covers up. "I'm tired, can you—"
"Of course." Alice said knowing that he wanted to be alone. She walked out the door and before she closed it she said, "She's never coming back."
The door clicked shut and Draco couldn't help but feel those words sink straight into his soul. She's never coming back.
Draco threw the bed sheets off and quickly went to change. He couldn't leave things the way they were between them. If he didn't confront her now, then he knew he would regret it for the rest of his life.
He pulled on some black cotton sweat pants and threw on his black winter jacket over his t-shirt. He couldn't believe he was going out dressed like this but that wasn't the important thing know.
He still had to sneak out of the house. He was lucky actually because the only people there were Hermione, Blaise, Alice, and Winky. Remus, Sirius and Tonks had gone back to London. Harry, Edward, Neville and Luna were at the Cullens home and Ron had gone to eat with Paul at his house. Jacob had gone home to talk to his father.
"Winky." He called and she appeared with a 'pop'. "Winky please get me directions to the Seattle airport, quickly." He said before Winky could ask what he wanted.
"Actually, master Draco, the Mrs. Alice Cullen asked me to give you this." She handed Draco a piece of paper and Draco smiled when he saw that she had written down the directions already.
Draco quickly pulled on his shoes with a smile still on his face. "Please tell her thank you once I have gone. Can you tell me where Hemrione and Blaise are?" He said as he grabbed his wand and tucked it into his jacket pocket.
"They have sneaked into the spare bedroom, master Draco."
"What?" Draco asked in shock. Those two? Together? He chuckled before leaving the room. He watched the closed door to the other bedroom before quietly making his way down the stairs. He grabbed his car keys and walked out the front door, shutting it quietly behind him. When he turned to go to his car he almost yelled in shock.
"Alice! Are you trying to kill me?" He whispered loudly.
"Sorry, I just thought I'd let you know that Jacob will be back in about 30 minutes. The shifters can run fast, so you better hurry or he'll catch up to you and drag you back."
"Thank you." He gave her a small smile and went to his car.
"I was once happy that Bella was going to be a part of our family, but we were all blind to who she really was. Harry and you are now a part of our family and I'm glad. You have a good heart, Draco. Don't let her change that about you."
She closed the door for Draco and walked back into the house.
Draco turned the car on and almost automatically saw the light in the upstairs room turn on. Uh-oh. Maybe I don't have a 30 minute head start. Hermione would probably call Jacob once she see's that he left. Ugh, Jacob's gonna kill me for this.

"And this thing," Billy asked referring to the dark lord. "He's dead for good now?"
"Yes, he won't ever come back to life. Draco's safe." Jacob said and drank some water. He and Billy were talking about everything that had happened, including the battle and the death eaters. He and Draco had decided it was ok for Billy to know about him being a wizard. He was family after all.
"I'm glad you're ok." He paused, "I'm glad Draco is ok."
Jacob smiled. "I love him, dad. I really have no words that could tell you just how much I love him. He's everything to me."
Billy smiled and pulled his son into a strong, heartfelt hug. "I know you do, son." Billy looked into Jacob's eyes. "I think I'm ready to meet him."
"Thanks dad. It means a lot to me."
"Because he means so much to you, then he will mean as much to me. He's a part of the family now."
Jacob couldn't help it and a tear escaped his eye. "Let's go now then." He smiled and quickly helped his father outside and into the truck.

"Where the hell could he have gone?" Hermione asked no one in particular as she sipped on some tea Winky made to calm her nerves.
"I can't wait any longer Alice." She stood and walked to the phone, "I have to call and tell Jacob. He could be hurt somewhere or maybe-" she gasped, "Maybe he was kidnapped by some escaped death eaters!"
She quickly punched in the Black's number, which Draco kept written on a piece of paper hung above the phone, and waited impatiently as she waited for someone to pick up.
"They're not answering, why aren't they answering?"
"She's so worrisome." Blaise whispered into his cup of tea and chuckled. Blaise knew Draco was probably ok. If he knew his friend then he was probably out doing something that was important to him, even if he was injured and put on bed rest, he would do what he thought was right.
"They don't answer!" She said hanging the phone and pacing back and forward. There was the sound of crunching rocks and dirt as a car was pulling in.
"Is that Draco?" Hermione ran and went outside only to see Jacob and an older man pulling up to the house in a truck.
"Jacob!" She ran to the car before Jacob had even turned the car off. "It's Draco!"
"Draco?" Jacob didn't give her a chance to explain and immediately ran out the car, into the house and up to their room, to find an empty bed.
Jacob's heart pounded in fear. Where was his Draco?
"Where is he?" He yelled from the top stairs before rushing down. His breathing was ragged.
"We don't know." Hermione cried. "We heard a car and then when we went to check on him, he was gone. I don't know where he could have gone."
"He's going to Seattle." Alice said calmly as she watched them. At that point, Billy wheeled himself in front of the house to peer inside. He needed help getting up the stairs.
"What?" Hermione screeched, "You knew where he was? Why didn't you tell us?"
"Because she knew, just like I know, that Draco needs to do this…whatever this is." Blaise said as he sat on the couch.
"Why did he go?" Jacob asked.
"He went to talk to Bella before she leaves. She's moving to Florida."
Everyone was quiet at the sudden revelation but in Jacob's head, warning signal were going off. She's gonna try to kill him again!
He ran outside before anyone could say anything, pulled off his shorts and shifted. He ran fast. He needed to run fast. Draco could be in trouble again.

Draco was lost. He didn't know the area so he missed his exit. He got off on the next exit but then couldn't find the entrance back onto the highway and ended up getting lost. He was losing time. If he didn't hurry, Bella would be gone before he even got there. It had taken him about 30 or 40 minutes to get to Seattle because he was speeding.
He was driving around trying to find the entrance to the highway but just seemed to be driving in circles. The sun had set already and he was getting a bit scared of the area he was in. It was a pretty light deprived area with no one in sight. He saw an older man, maybe in his 50's, sitting on a bench in a corner a little ways off the road he was driving on. I need directions.
Draco parked the car and gulped before he stepped out of the car. He reached and held on to his wand inside his jacket as he approached cautiously.
"Excuse me, sir?" He said and faltered when the man didn't look up. Maybe this isn't such a good idea.
Draco stopped his approach and started backing away. Just as he turned to go back to his car, the man spoke.
"You're not from around here." A deep, aging voice said lowly. It wasn't a question but a statement.
Draco took a breath and turned around to look at the man. "Can you tell?"
"That accent is hard to hide." The man said still not looking up. Draco couldn't help but notice that the man was hidden in shadow.
"Forgive me for bothering you, sir, but I was wondering if you could give me directions to get back to the highway?"
"Oh, you're not bothering me at all." The man stood up slowly. He looked like he had money because of the expensive clothes he was wearing, and that made Draco nervous because why would he be sitting out here all alone?
The man resettled his glasses on his face and looked up to meet Draco's eyes. Draco felt a sinister feeling in his gut as he was met with blue eyes and a smirk.
"If you go back down the way you came," he said pointing, "and turn left at the light about a mile down, you should run into the freeway bridge. Go over the freeway and the entrance should be on your left."
Draco had turned to look at where the man was pointing and hadn't noticed the man stepping closer to him. He was startled when the man placed a gentle hand on his right shoulder and gave a small squeeze. Draco was frozen in shock.
"You should be careful," the man said and brushed a strand of Draco's hair out of his face, "This isn't an area you should be wandering alone at night." He pulled away from Draco and headed to a nice expensive looking silver car parked on the other side of the street. He noticed that the car had a small blue sticker of a crouching tiger on the back window on the lower left corner. "Especially someone as pretty as you." The man said, got in his car without another word and drove off.
Definitely rich. Draco thought as he got back in his car. And creepy as hell! He drove back to the freeway thinking of the way the man sounded. He spoke every word, slowly and with purpose. Like if there was some kind of inside joke that Draco wasn't getting. A sick, disturbing joke probably.
Draco wanted to yell and cheer when he found the freeway. He quickly got back on and headed back. He got off on the correct exit and was back on track.
When he reached the airport, he quickly found the signals that directed him to the parking structure. He thought it was ridiculous that he had to pay ten dollars for the parking when he was only going to be there for a few minutes.
He paid and drove inside the parking building. He was surprised how full it was. He found a parking on the second floor. When he looked at the time and it was six thirty. He had half an hour to find Bella.
He locked the car and ran to get out of the parking lot and into the airport. He waved a quick sorry to a silver car that was coming into the parking structure, as he ran in front of it, making the driver break hard on the brakes.
He was further delayed when he was told he couldn't get past security to where the planes were boarding unless he had a plane ticket. So he was quick to get in line to buy one. He even paid the people in front of him, to let him get to the front of the line.
"I need a ticket to Florida." Draco said hurriedly.
"I have one coach left. Is that ok?" The woman said.
"Yes, perfect."
"Ok will you be paying with cash or credit card?"
"Credit card." Draco said and pulled it out.
"May I see your passport, please?"
Bloody hell! I didn't bring that! "Uh, yea, of course." Draco quickly grabbed one of his cards in his wallet and transfigured it. "Here you are." He handed it over with a smile.
That was close. Draco thought as he passed through inspection. He quickly searched for the terminal and let out a sigh when he found it. He found Bella sitting by the window looking out at the airplanes.
"Bella."
The girl jumped up and was shocked when she saw Draco standing there, looking like he had just gotten out of bed, which was true. There was silence for a few moments when neither could figure out what to say.
"Can I sit?" Draco asked and sat when she nodded. He sat, leaving a seat in between them. "Alice told me you were leaving."
"I guess she would know, even when I didn't tell anyone but Charlie." Her voice sounded raspy, probably from crying.
There was another moment of awkward silence.
"I'm sorry." She said and lowered her head, hands fiddling nervously. "I wanted to stop by, but I figured you would rather not see me, even if I did come to apologize. I also don't think I could have handled seeing everyone angry at me."
"I don't understand why you did it. You already had Edward, why be jealous if I had Jacob?"
"I made a mistake." She said and Draco could relate to her. He had made a mistake too when he took on the dark mark. Draco looked at her when he heard her sniff and he saw her wipe a stray tear. Bella reached into her bag and pulled out a little round jar.
"Here." She said holding it out to him. "I wanted to give this to you. I was going to send it to you. It's…for the scar on your back. I was mostly sure the injury would leave a scar." Her eyes were lowered as she held out the jar.
Draco took it and held it with both hands. "What does it do?" He asked.
"It makes it fade away." She gave a small unsure smile.
Draco smiled back. "Thank you."
They stayed silent for a few minutes until the intercom overhead announced that the flight to Florida was now boarding. Bella stood and so did Draco.
"I wish you well, Bella."
"Thank you." She said and smiled when Draco reached out to shake her hand.
"I regret not wanting to be your friend." She said and went to line up to board the plane.
Draco watched as she gave her passport and ticket to the flight attendant and just before she walked into the walkway towards the plane, she looked back and gave a small wave. Draco smiled and waved back…and then she was gone.
XXXXX
Draco didn't even bother trying to get his money back. He was exhausted and he just wanted to get home. Maybe if he was lucky, he could get home before Jacob even realized he was gone. Highly unlikely. Draco sighed as he trudged his way back towards his car. He kicked a paper cup that was thrown on the floor. He noticed that the second floor was almost empty. There were just about a dozen cars. He pulled out his car keys just as he was reaching his car. He stopped, frozen on the spot; a shiver running down his spine when he saw the car parked a few slots next to his car. It was a silver car with a small blue sticker on the back window just like car of the man from earlier that night. Shit!
Before Draco could do anything, whether it was to get to his car, pull out his wand or turn to look around, someone grabbed him from behind, forcing him to the floor.
"I told you to be careful, kid. There are all kinds of crazy people around here." The man's deep voice sounded out as he chuckled and squeezed his behind.
"Let go of me, you sick bastard!" Draco growled. He struggled against the man's grip and managed to slip his hand up to grab his wand but at that moment the man picked him up as if he weighed nothing and he dropped his hold on the wand and it toppled to the floor.
"Help! Somebody hel-mmphmm…" The man covered Draco's mouth with a small white rag soaked in something putrid. The fumes were making him dizzy and weak but somehow he managed to push the rag away. Draco looked and saw that the man had just thrown him into the back seat of his silver car. The fumes made Draco helpless. He couldn't see straight and he could barely sit up without toppling over. He felt drugged. He saw as the man was unbuckling his pants in a hurry. Draco fell onto his back and tried to slap away the hands that were now pulling down his sweat pants, but his efforts did nothing. His shoes were pulled off and then the pants and briefs were off. He felt cold air freezing his bottom half and he felt very exposed.
"Amazing." The man whispered, tracing a finger down one pale thigh.
Draco's eyes were red and tears were spilling over his cheeks. He couldn't do anything to stop the man.
"…Jacob…help…"
XXXXX
Jacob was angry. He was going to give Draco hell for not staying in bed. He had made it to Seattle, sniffing out Draco's scent. Even if Draco had driven there, Jacob could still pick up the faint smell of his coconut scented body.
Jacob carefully made his way towards the Seattle airport and picked up Draco's scent going into the parking structure. He had to wait a few minutes in order to sneak past the security guard charging cars for the parking.
He could tell that Draco had just passed through there, so he needed to hurry before the blond could leave.
He took the chance when the guard bent down to grab a paper he dropped. He ran across the entrance and quickly made his way behind a car to hide. He smiled inwardly at his quick maneuvers. He was about to move onwards, when the last thing he wanted to hear was spoken so softly that only his enhanced shifter hearing could pick it up.
"…Jacob…help…" It was such a small whisper that he almost missed it. He recognized it right away and he took off. His paws moving at a furious pace and he didn't even bother hiding from anyone. There were a bunch of screams as people saw his enormous form, but he didn't care. His Draco was in trouble.
He didn't bother running along the road up to the second floor but simply jumped over the top railing and pulled himself over the top with his claws. He looked around frantically and spotted Draco's car. There was a silver car a few paces to its left and Jacob just knew Draco was in it. He could smell his salty tears and hear his gasping cry for help. He ran to the car.
He could see a man bent over, half way in the car, pants down. He was gripping and stroking himself as he put his filthy hands all over his Draco's body. He was touching HIS Draco!
Draco's body went into a fit of tremors as he felt the man's hand running over his legs, the inside of his thighs and lastly resting on his member. He hated the touch. He wanted to scream out but he found his voice choked up inside of him. He watched dizzily as the man was stroking himself and then grabbed Draco's legs to pull him closer. The man was just an inch away from entering him when there was a loud noise like crunching metal and suddenly the man was gone, as well as the car door.
Draco was shaking violently and his vision was still moving all over the place. He still lay on his back but then tried turning on his side to try and cover himself. He heard sirens suddenly and was thinking that maybe the police had stopped the man.
"Draco!" He heard Jacobs voice and then felt hands on him again and all he could think to do was try to get away. He cried out in terror and struggled as much as he could in his drugged state.
"Draco, baby it's me Jacob." Jacob tried soothing. "Look at me Draco, I'm not him. I'm not gonna hurt you."
Draco saw that it was Jacob and almost immediately felt the warmth of his hands. He breathed in deep and clung onto Jacob as giant heaving gasps left his trembling body. He cried out loudly and clung to the shifter. The fear he had felt was suffocating and for a moment he had thought that he was actually going to die there in that silver car.
"Shhh, it's ok, I'm here now." Jacob soothed him as he rubbed circles on Draco's back. Somewhere in the blond's struggle to get away from the man, his jack was pulled off and he was now wearing only his black t-shirt.
Jacob had pulled on his shorts and shirt right after tackling the man unconscious before he had gone to Draco's aid. He saw the Police cars pulling up to their car and he quickly grabbed Draco's jacket, that lay on the floor near them and placed it over Draco's lap to cover him as the boy continued to sob.
"What's going on here?" The police officer asked as he stepped out of the patrol car and saw one unconscious man a car missing a door and a sobbing boy. He had a steady hand over his hand gun, ready. "There were some people who saw a giant wolf run up here.
"I don't know about a wolf, but that man over there was about to rape him." Jacob growled out.
Police gestured for his partner to follow him and they approached the man who was slowly coming to.
"It's him! It's Timothy Connor!" One of the cops yelled out.
"What happened…?" Timothy asked as he awoke, clearly out of it.
"Timothy Connor, you're a very wanted man." One cop said. At this point other police patrol cars pulled up to them and began asking Jacob questions since Draco was still in shock.
"Timothy Connor you are under arrest. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say or do will and can be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to speak to an attorney. If you cannot afford an attorney, one will be appointed for you. Do you understand these rights as they have been read to you?" The officer said as he handcuffed the man.
"Yes."
"How did you know he was here?" the officer asked Jacob, referring to Draco.
"A friend told me that he was coming here to talk to someone before she left the state. So I came after him in a taxi because I was worried. He's been sick recently."
"And how are you related to each other?"
"He's my lover." Jacob said, not hesitating and he saw the officer come to a halt in writing his report. He cleared his throat before asking:
"And you're sure you didn't see a wolf anywhere?"
"No."
"We'll be sending a notice letter to your home Mr. Malfoy," he told Draco who was now paying somewhat attention. "It will give you the option of whether you wish to testify in the court against Mr. Connor."
"What are the charges against him, besides what he did here?" Jacob asked.
"He's a wanted serial killer. He's been wanted for years, but just recently was found out when his last victim survived and recognized him."
"Bastard." Jacob growled and hugged Draco closer. "Let me guess, he rapes boys around his age and then murders them?" Jacob asked angry.
"Yes, but thanks to you we finally caught him and you stopped him before he could take another victim." The officer looked at Draco, "Are you sure you don't require medical assistance Mr. Malfoy."
Draco only shook his head. The officer then left them and Jacob helped pull on Draco's sweat pants, not bothering with the briefs. He picked him up and took him over to his car, sitting him in the passenger's seat. He closed the door and walked over to thank the officers and to pick up Draco's abandoned wand before he got in the driver's seat and drove away. He noticed that Draco was too quiet.
"Do you want to talk about it?"
Draco shook his head. They were quiet for a few minutes before Draco said with a raspy voice, "I'm sorry."
Jacob sighed and pulled over to the side of the road. He scoot his seat all the way back and opened his arms to Draco who quickly climbed over on top of Jacob, huddling close to him.
Jacob wrapped his arms around the boy as he could feel the warm tears seeping through his shirt.
"I'm not mad Draco. Not for what happened. That wasn't your fault, you hear me."
Draco didn't answer but simply nodded his head on Jacob's chest.
"I hate him." Draco forced through clenched teeth. "He was touching me, and I hated it!"
"I know baby, but it's over now. He's never going to touch you again. No one will ever hurt you like this again. I won't allow it."
They stayed like that for about half an hour, just holding each other and then Draco got back in his seat so Jacob could drive home. They were quiet most of the drive and Jacob held Draco's small hand in his, giving him comfort.
When they arrived back at Draco's house it was already ten at night and luckily, or probably just thanks to Alice, nobody was there, except for Winky of course.
Jacob pulled Draco out of the car and carried him inside. He knew Draco felt disgusted and he took him straight to the shower. He turned on the hot water and let it run as he slowly and delicately pulled off Draco's clothes. Draco lifted his arms to allow his shirt to be pulled off and then he pulled off Jacob s shirt and pulled his shorts down. They both got under the hot spray of the water and Draco began scrubbing his own body almost harshly.
Jacob hated seeing Draco that way, especially when they had just over come such a big feat taking down the death eaters and their dark lord. He allowed Draco to Scrub himself for a while before he stopped him and then began to place light kisses again his smooth skin, reassuring his love for him and his body. Reassuring him that he was beautiful and no matter what, he would always love him.
Draco's tears mixed into the hot spray of the shower and he turned into Jacob and brought their bodies close together, the need to feel the shifters warmth against him almost painful.
"Jacob," Draco gasped, "I need you…"
"Are you sure? You're still injured and just experienced something terrible and—"
"Please Jacob. Touch my body and make me forget…please."
Jacob washed the soap off them and turned the water off. He toweled Draco and himself off quickly before carrying the blond to the bed and quickly made haste to place kisses all over the pale body.
"I love you." He whispered as he reached Draco's lips and kissed him. Their tongues melded together in fiery passion as their naked bodies moved against each other. Jacob grabbed the tube of lubricant from the bedside table and used it to stretched Draco's entrance.
"Ahhnnn…Jacob, please, just hurry." The boy gasped out as Jacob pushed in one then two then three fingers.
Jacob sat up and covered himself in lubricant. He leaned back down and gave Draco a quick passionate kiss before he began to push in.
"Ahhhh.." Draco cried out and wrapped his legs around Jacob pulling him closer.
When Jacob was completely in, he stayed still and ran a hand over Draco's cheek, staring intently at him. He realized that the love of his life, the reason for his existence was in the hands of a serial killer who would have raped and then killed him. He couldn't think of what would have happened if he hadn't gotten there when he did. He only wished he could have gotten there sooner.
"Never again, Draco, I promise." He placed a light kiss on those delicate thin lips and pulled out before pushing back in.
Draco gasped out and reached up to run his hands over the shifters body, to feel his warmth.
"Uhhnnn.." Draco cried in pleasure as Jacob's speed quickened and he hit the spot deep inside that felt so pleasurable.
"Faster…" he cried and gasped when Jacob sat back and pulled him with him so that Draco was now sitting in Jacob's lap. Draco wrapped his legs around the shifters waist and his arms around his shoulders as Jacob lifted up inside of him and he shifted up and down.
Jacob grabbed hold of Draco's hard throbbing member as they were coming closer to the edge. He stroked the boy and Draco arched his back in pleasure.
"…I love you Jacob…aaahhh." He cried as he reached his climax and came all over his stomach and Jacob and not a second later, Jacob came deep inside the boy as he felt Draco's wall tighten around him.
They stayed like that until they came down from their high and Jacob shifted them so that they lay on their sides, keeping himself buried in the blond.
Jacob wished he could keep Draco away from danger, but what happened at the airport only proved that there would always be danger no matter what. The only thing Jacob could do for Draco was be there for him always. Be there to protect him and be there to comfort him. What mattered now was that the boy was in his arms, safe. He would keep it that way for as long as he could.

"Ron get back here!" Hermione yelled at the quickly retreating form of the red head that had just slipped away from the kitchen with a stolen pastry.
"Just leave him." Blaise said and placed a kiss on her cheek, making the girl flush. "You can always get back at him when it's time to have dessert." He smiled wickedly.
"I don't get it." Ron complained to Paul as they sat on the table placed outside in Draco's yard. "What's so wrong if I have one muffin before lunch?" he took a bite.
"It ruins your appetite." Paul said as he stole the muffin and ate the rest in one bite.
"Hey!"
"What?" Paul choked out, "I can't ruin my appetite. I'm always hungry." Paul flashed a smile and quickly ran away as Ron took chase.
"Those two…I swear, they were made for each other." Draco said as he placed a big bowl of pasta salad on the table. "If one isn't causing problems, then the other is causing mischief."
"I'm just glad Ron's presence has caused Paul's anger to lessen. I swear he was unbearable before Ron." Jacob said as he placed another big bowl of the salad on the table. He then bent down and placed a quick kiss to Draco's cheek, making the boy smile.
"I suppose I have also calmed the famous Jacob moping with my presence." Draco said tasting a bit of the salad on his finger.
"Yes and you've also managed to get my happy radar up, as well as other things, you know what I mean?" Jacob said suggestively.
"Not now, Jacob." Draco whisper in embarrassment, but smiled none the less.
"Everyone, lunch is ready!" Harry yelled out as he brought out Billy's famous fish fry and Edward followed close behind with another batch of fish.
It took only seconds for everyone to assemble at the long table set outside. It was a beautiful, rare, sunny day in Forks and the atmosphere was very enjoyable with laughter in the air.
The table was filled with large plates of food to accommodate all the guests. Every single shifter was there as well as Billy, who had long since been introduced to Draco and the other wizards. The Cullens were also at the table, except they wouldn't be eating of course. Harry, Ron, Hermione, Neville, Luna, Remus, Sirius, Tonks, and even Narcissa were present, and Draco sat with Jacob, naturally.
"Can I have everyone's attention?" Called out Harry, tapping a fork to a glass cup. "Today marks one month since the last death eaters were captured and Voldemort was vanquished for good. Normally, we wait for the yearly anniversary to celebrate, but who wants to wait a year to celebrate?" He smiled and everyone cheered. "We have all become great friends and one big family, but I think it is only right to thank Draco."
Draco's eyes widened in shock. He was not expecting this at all.
"Draco, you brought us all together. If you had not moved here, if you had not captured Jacob's heart, and if you had not been as strong as you were while trying to survive Voldemorts control, then we wouldn't be here now." He raised his glass and everyone followed suit. "To Draco."
"To Draco." Everyone said together and drank.
Draco couldn't keep the smile off his face. He couldn't remember the last time he was appreciated in such a way and by so many people. He finally felt like he belonged somewhere, and that somewhere being a place he liked, surrounded by the people he loved and in return loved him.
After he had respectfully declined testifying in court against the serial killer, Draco began moving on with his life with the support of all these people. He had declined because there was enough evidence against the man that he wasn't needed and he would rather not see the man ever again.
"I love you." Jacob whispered in Draco's ear as everyone began serving food.
"I love you more." He whispered back and placed a kiss on the shifters lips.
