Chap 15
- Sam POV -
Mya had been very distant from everybody since the bonfire three weeks ago. She spent most of the time she wasn't working at the bookstore reading musty old books or cooking food for the pack.
She didn't really speak to anyone and if she did, it was quite little. One day I just got sick of it. The boys would be finishing school at the end of the week but we were all heading up to Forks for Bella's graduation. Mya was in our room getting dressed when I slipped in and locked the door.
"Mya, we need to talk," I said.
"Sam, not now. We have Bella's graduation ceremony and we can't be late," she said. "Can you zip me up?"
I walked over to her and grabbed the small zip at the back of her dress and zipped it up to the top. I then spun her around to look at me.
"Yes now. We won't be late. Mya, what is wrong? You've been distant lately," I said.
"No I haven't Sam. Please let me go. I need to do my hair," Mya protested. She tried to move but I tightened my grip on her waist slightly.
"Yes you have. You've been working lots of extra shifts, whenever you are home you barely speak and when you do, it's very little. Now, tell me, what's wrong," I said in an alpha tone.
"Sam, nothing is wrong," she protested again.
"I guess we aren't going to Bella's graduation then because until you tell me the truth, I am not letting you go," I said. I noticed Mya trying to grab her wand but I reached out and grabbed it just before she did. She squirmed a bit more before collapsing against my chest.
"Fine Sam. You win. If you really want to know, I'm doing it to keep you safe. The people who attacked us at the bonfire want me. They have no qualms with hurting anyone who gets in their way. I've been trying to keep you safe," Mya whispered. I felt tears begin to dampen my shirt so I pulled her closer to me and kissed her head.
"Honey, you can tell me these things. Don't worry, no one will get hurt, especially not you. I love you to much to let that happen," I said before I lifted her chin and kissed her deeply. I lifted her up off the ground and smiled as she wrapped her arms around my neck. I walked us slowly over to our bed and laid her down.
I growled when one hand ran down my chest and the other ran through my hair. I grabbed one of her bent knees and pulled it up against my side. I started rubbing her thigh and grinned when Mya moaned.
"We need to stop or we will never get to Bella's graduation," she whispered and I nodded. I lifted her back up and kissed her again. I gasped when she slid down my body and brushed against my very obvious desire for her.
"I'm gunna go shower," I whispered huskily before kissing her again and walking into the bathroom.
We arrived at Bella's graduation just as the rest of the boys were pulling in. We walked into the auditorium and took our seats as the Principal started talking. I rested my hand on Mya's thigh and started tracing patterns. I felt her doing the same to me and I smiled. We all applauded and cheered when Bella's name was called and we laughed as she blushed.
"You look gorgeous Bells," Mya said once the ceremony was over. The cousins hugged before Bella moved onto the rest of us. We all went out for lunch to the Italian restaurant in Port Angeles where the boys nearly got us kicked out because they started a food fight.
"Mya and I are gunna stay here for a while," I said as the boys got in cars to leave.
"Ok. Sam, Mione do you mind if we stay at Seth's tonight. We are gunna have a video game marathon considering we don't have school tomorrow," Brady asked.
"That's fine if its ok with Sue and Harry," Mya said. The boys nodded and hugged us both before jumping into Sue's car.
"Come on sweetheart. Let's do some shopping," I said. Mya grabbed my hand and I smiled. We walked down the main street looking at various shops. Mya pulled me into a jewellery store and while she looked at earrings, I looked at rings. I knew I would propose to her I just needed to work out when. I decided to come back one day when Mya was at work.
We left that store and as we passed a baby shop Mya sighed.
"What's up baby?" I asked as she stopped. I started thinking about why she was upset. Did she want a baby? Sure that would be great but I want to be married to her first and I really didn't want to share at the moment. I thought about my dream and smiled at how beautiful she was when she was pregnant.
"I should buy Ron and Lavender a present for the baby. Its due soon," Mya said. I nodded and we walked inside. Mya started looking at pre-made gift baskets and I smiled as she picked up a yellow one.
We walked up to the counter and paid for the basket and the lady smiled at us.
"You two will make gorgeous babies if you don't mind me saying," she said as she bagged the present.
"Thank you," Mya said with a blush. We walked out of the shop hand in hand and headed to another shop. I grinned down at Mya when I felt her hand slip into the back pocket of my jeans.
"If you wanted a feel all you had to do was ask," I whispered into her ear before nipping her earlobe.
"Where's the fun in that?" She replied with a cheeky grin. I laughed lightly and noticed that it was 6pm.
"Come on. Let's get some dinner," I said. We walked into the Thai restaurant that was on the corner were ushered to a table.
We ordered our food and drink and I smiled when I felt Mya's foot massage my calf. I reached under the table and grabbed her foot, placed it in my lap and started rubbing it. She moaned softly and stuck her tongue out at me. I blew a kiss at her just as the drinks were placed in front of us.
"How are you feeling?" Mya asked me after taking a sip of her drink.
"Alright. My shoulder played up a little bit but other than that its ok. I missed you today though," I said honestly.
During dinner, I kept Mya's foot in my lap and would occasionally rub it or her calf. At one point I felt her foot slip down my leg and massage my calf muscle again. I grinned at her and grabbed her hand. I started running my thumb over the back of her hand and brought it up to my lips and kissed it gently.
"I love you baby," I whispered.
"I love you too Sam," she replied. When we were finished, I paid the bill and pulled my girl to me. We walked back to my truck and I lifted her in.
Before I could shut the door, she pulled me to her and kissed me. I couldn't help but deepen it and I wrapped my arms around her.
I couldn't resist kissing across Mya's jaw and down her neck. I heard her moan and I forced myself to pull away.
"Home," I said. Mya nodded and kissed me again before I jumped into my side of the car and practically floored it out of Port Angeles.
We arrived home quickly and I picked Mya up and kissed her again. I kicked the door shut and headed towards the house. I was glad I had given the boys the night off from patrolling around my house.
When we got inside, I rested Mya against the front door as I kissed her. I pulled away and looked deeply into her eyes.
"If at any point you get uncomfortable, tell me and we will stop," I whispered to her. She nodded and continued kissing me.
As I walked upstairs, I could feel the wolf in me pacing. I rested Mya on the bed and looked down at her with a smile.
"Mya, if this happens tonight, just know, I will mark you. The wolf and I both want you and he is desperate to mark you. If you aren't ready, say something," I whispered. I wouldn't be angry if she wanted to stop due to what had happened to her. I felt her small hand come down and cup me through my jeans and that was enough of an answer for me.
I pulled both our clothes from us and when she was naked in front of me, I looked her over. She tried to cover up her scars but I moved her hands.
"You are so beautiful," I whispered as I kissed down the scar that sliced her stomach. I grabbed a condom from the bedside table and slipped it on before positioning myself.
"You ready?" I asked. She nodded and I slipped inside her and I knew then that she was mine forever.
- Mione POV -
I opened my eyes and realised it was still dark. I looked down when I felt a weight on my waist and noticed I was naked with Sam's arm wrapped around me.
What we had done flooded back to me and I smiled. I carefully slipped out of bed, grabbed my tank top and underwear and walked over to the mirror as I got dressed. I moved the thin strap off my shoulder slightly and looked at the purple bruise that was forming over the red bite mark. I smiled when I realised I was now fully their alpha female.
"Come back to bed," Sam's deep voice said from the bed. I turned to him and smiled wider. I walked back over to the bed and slipped back in beside him. Sam wrapped his arms around me and pulled me to his chest.
"Sleep. I've gotta get up early for work and I can't sleep without you here," he said.
"Love you," I said as I pressed a kiss to his lips.
"Love you too baby," he replied. I closed my eyes and snuggled down against his warmth.
I woke up the next morning alone in bed. Sam's side was a bit cool and I assumed that he had gone into work until the bedroom door opened and Sam walked in carrying a tray of food.
"Morning beautiful girl," he said. I sat up and smiled as he placed the tray in front of me. It contained toast with peanut butter, waffles with strawberries and melted chocolate, bacon, eggs, toast, sausages and two glasses of orange juice.
"Good morning. What's all this?" I asked.
"This is because I love you and you deserve to have a break," Sam said as he slipped in beside me.
"Shouldn't you be at work?" I asked as I ate a piece of bacon.
"Charlie wanted to spend the day with Bella so he called the station and got the day off for both of us," Sam said. He picked up a strawberry and after swirling it around in the chocolate, he held it up to my lips. We spent the rest of the morning feeding each other the breakfast Sam had made. When we were done, Sam put the empty tray on the floor and pulled me into his chest. I kissed his pec and breathed in his woodsy scent.
I'm so lucky Sam said. I looked up at him and smiled.
"I'm lucky too Sam," I whispered. He looked down at me shocked.
"I didn't say anything although I am lucky," Sam said.
"I swear you said something," I said.
Maybe I'm just going crazy, I thought.
Maybe babe but I think this is something that has to do with the bond, Sam's voice echoed in my mind.
"Well this is weird," I said.
Sam laughed, kissed me and said "I think its great. It means I can talk to you about private stuff when the pack are around."
I blushed lightly and kissed him. We stayed in bed a while longer until the phone rang. Sam kissed me and went down to the kitchen to answer it. I rolled out of bed and walked downstairs to find Sam standing tensed up against the wall with the phone cradled between his shoulder and ear.
"Well, I don't want to see you! Goodbye," Sam said before he slammed the phone back into the cradle. I walked over to him and wrapped my arms around him. His head rested against my neck and I felt him kissing and licking his mark. His arms rested on my waist and I felt his hands slip under my shirt and rub my stomach and sides.
"You ok baby?" I asked after a few minutes. He shook his head and kept his face firmly buried in my neck. I felt his teeth latch onto his mark slightly and I just rubbed his back softly.
After about five minutes, Sam kissed my shoulder where his mark was and looked me in the eye.
I can't believe he called Sam said in his head
"Who called baby? I can't help you if you don't tell me these things," I whispered to him.
"It was my dad. He wants to have dinner and "catch up". I can't do that babe. I just can't, not after he abandoned us," Sam said desperately into my shoulder.
"Shh. Its ok baby. No one is going to force you to sit down with him. I promise," I said. Sam kissed me sweetly and I hugged him tighter.
"I love you baby," Sam whispered to me.
"I love you too. I should probably get started on some lunch. The boys will probably crash here and if I don't have something made, they will kill me," I said with a laugh. Sam laughed as well and kissed my neck.
"Shower with me," I said as I headed for the stairs. Sam grinned and nipped my ear as we walked into the bathroom.
After our shower I changed into a pair of denim jeans and a white short sleeved v-neck and walked down to the kitchen. Sam was sitting at the table wearing only a pair of cut-off jeans and was reading the newspaper. I kissed his cheek and got started on making lunch.
Sure enough, just as I had pulled the food out of the oven, the pack arrived. Brady and Colin walked straight over to me and hugged me tightly.
"Did you have fun?" I asked the. I was immediately regaled with their story of how they teamed up and beat Seth multiple times.
They helped me place everything onto the table and I sat on Sam's lap as the boys started eating.
Halfway through the meal the phone rang again. I got up and walked over to it, slipping it from its cradle before Sam had even stood up.
"Hello?" I said.
"Hey Cara. I've got a question for ya," Blaise said. He seemed slightly worried which had me on edge.
"Shoot," I replied.
"Is Leah with you guys. She was meant to come up here but she didn't," Blaise said. I could fully sense the desperation in his voice.
"She isn't here B. I think Jake had patrol with her. Hang on, hey Jake, was Leah with you this morning?" I asked.
Jake swallowed his food and nodded. "Yep. I walked her back to her place then came here with Seth, Brady and Colin. She said she had a date with Blaise that's why she would be missing lunch."
"She should be at home. She walked in with Jake about an hour ago," Seth said.
"B, have you tried calling her at home?" I asked. By now all the boys were listening to me.
"Yea but no one picked up. Also, I've been feeling some pain all throughout my body," Blaise said desperately. I looked up at Sam and felt my face pale.
"Blaise, get to Leah's now. I've got a bad feeling. I'll meet you there," I said before I hung up my phone. I summond my wand and turned to the boys.
"Mione? What's wrong with Leah?" Seth asked.
"I don't know kiddo. Blaise and I are gunna go check it out. She may have just fallen asleep. You guys stay here. I'll be back before you know it," I said. I kissed Sam and looked him in the eye.
I'll tell you what's wrong when I get there, I said through our link. He nodded and kissed me again.
Bring her back safe, I nodded and apparated away.
When I arrived Blaise was pacing outside the house.
"Come on B," I said. We drew our wands and walked up to the front door. We knocked lightly before pushing it open. We started walking through the house but stopped just outside the kitchen as we heard movement. I signalled for Blaise to be quiet and I pushed the door open with my foot. The sight that greeted me stunned me.
"Sue!" I cried. I raced over to her bloody body and rolled her onto her back.
"Mione?" She whispered. I got to work on healing the wounds on her face and body.
"I'm here," I said comfortingly. "So is Blaise."
"Leah, Harry. Upstairs," she whispered before she passed out in my arms.
"Go Blaise. She is almost healed. Call me," I said. He nodded and raced upstairs. I continued healing Sue until I heard Blaise cry out my name. I made Sue comfortable and raced towards his voice.
"They need help," he said. He was holding a limp Leah in his arms and Harry was at his feet, bleeding and bruised.
I knew Leah's body would need minimal help so I got to work on Harry. His wounds, like Sue's were serious but nothing I couldn't handle.
Sam! I called out in my mind.
I'm here baby. What has happened? He asked. I projected the memories of what I had seen to him and he growled.
I'll be there soon. I'm bringing Jared with me, Sam said.
"Sam and Jared are coming. I'll stay up here with these two. Go and check on Sue then get Sam and Jared up here. GO!" I demanded as Blaise protested. He kissed Leah's head and raced downstairs.
I noticed a piece of paper sticking out of Leah's pocket. I grabbed it and opened it before gasping.
You will be mine or you will find the rest of the wolves in a worse state than this mudblood. Good luck on your hunt, it will be easier to just give yourself up.
I was shaking slightly but I finished working on Harry. I couldn't understand what he meant by hunt but I stopped thinking about it when I heard footsteps pounding up the stairs and I pointed my wand at the door. When Sam appeared, I lowered my wand.
"Are they ok?" Sam asked as he moved towards me.
"Leah should be walking either tonight or tomorrow with no visible wounds. Sue and Harry will take a bit longer. Can you grab Leah and I'll levitate Harry and we can get home with them," I slipped the note into my pocket when Sam turned his back. We walked downstairs carefully with our friends and met up with Blaise and Jared.
"Apparation will be quicker. Blaise, pick Sue up and stand with Sam. Apparate to our place. I've got Jared and Harry," I said. Blaise nodded and carefully lifted Sue into his arms. He grabbed Sam's shirt carefully and apparated away.
I rested Harry in Jared's arms and grabbed his hand before following Blaise.
"Seth, you've gotta move," I ordered softly. He did but looked on worriedly as his mum, dad and sister were carried in. I transfigured three cushions into cots and the boys placed the three people on them.
"Blaise, go grab my medical bag off my dresser. Hurry," I demanded. He raced upstairs and was back in record time.
"I grabbed your phone as well," he said. I nodded and dialled a familiar number. I didn't care about the time difference I needed help.
"Mione? What's up?" Draco's voice asked.
"Get a team and get your asses here. The Clearwaters were attacked and there was another note," I said as I grabbed some potion that would heal the cuts on Sue's face.
"We'll be at yours ASAP," Drake said before I snapped my phone shut.
"What note babe?" Sam asked. I shook my head and continued healing Sue and Harry. We all heard one large pop outside.
"Go check. Ask a safety question," I said. Blaise nodded and walked outside. A few moments later, Blaise walked back in followed by Bill, Charlie, Draco, Harry, Remus and Tonks.
"What happened cub?" Remus asked as he knelt beside me and started working on Harry. The others started putting protection spells up around the house.
"Blaise felt something was off so we went to the Clearwater's to check it out. We found Sue in the kitchen and Harry and Leah upstairs. This was in Leah's pocket," I said. I handed Remus the note which he passed to Bill.
"We still don't know who this guy is. All we know is that he has some sick fascination with you," Bill said after he had read the letter.
"That could be used to our advantage," I said. I finished healing Sue and noticed Leah was nearly perfect thanks to the werewolf gene.
"Absolutely not. We did that with you once and we nearly lost you. I'm pretty sure Sam would rip me apart if we agreed to that," Draco said.
"What are you talking about?" Sam asked.
"The person who has done this has some morbid fascination with Mione. She wants to use herself as bait," Charlie explained quickly.
"NO!" Sam cried as he turned to me "I can't let you do that. This sicko could kill you!"
"Sam, he won't. I'm what he wants so he will just toy with me for a while," I said but I realised it wasn't helping.
"I won't lose you because some nut job is fascinated with you. I won't," Sam protested softly as he grabbed me. He pulled me tightly against him and kissed his mark through my shirt.
We heard Leah groan and I rushed to her side. Blaise grabbed her hand and Sam stood at the foot of the cot.
"Hey babe. How you feeling?" I asked as Leah's eyes opened.
"I hurt. How are mum and dad?" Leah asked as she tried to sit up. Blaise and I pushed her back down.
"They're fine. I promise," I said. Rem finished healing Harry just as the front door slammed open.
"Uncle Charlie? What's wrong?" I asked. His eyes were frantically darting around the room and I now noticed Jake was rubbing his chest.
"Bella's not here?" He asked.
"No. Should she be?" I asked.
"She's missing. She wasn't in her room this morning when I went to wake her up for work," Uncle Charlie said. I noticed Jake's legs buckle under him and he had to be practically carried to a chair.
"Have you tried her phone?" I asked.
"Yep. Its on her bedside table and her truck is still in the drive," Uncle Charlie said desperately.
"Brady, sit Uncle Charlie down," I said. B nodded and grabbed Uncle Charlie's arm and dragged him to a chair.
Jared's phone began ringing and he left the room. We heard a gut wrenching yell and Sam and Paul ran after him. They came back a few minutes practically carrying Jared.
"Kim, gone," was all he could get out.
"This is what the hunt means. I'm meant to find them. They obviously tried to take Sue but didn't count on Leah and Harry being home," I said to the Order members in the room.
"Why would they do this?" Draco asked.
"Me. I'm the connection between all of them. They are trying to draw me out," I said. I walked over to Jared and Jake. They both looked up at me with broken eyes.
"I promise you, I will find them. No matter what it takes I will bring them back to you," I said. They nodded and crumbled into my arms, sobbing against my shoulder.

"Excellent," I said as my men appeared with the two girls.
"What happened to the third?" I asked.
"Her family interrupted but we did leave them with a good beating. The message has been given," one of them said.
"Good. Lock them in the dungeon and fetch me some ink, parchment, a quil and an owl, I have a letter to write," I demanded.
My men walked away with the two girls slung over their shoulders.
I couldn't help but let out the evil cackle.
"Soon my dear, so soon, I can taste it."
