Well here is the next chapter to "Better man" I hope you guys like it and I would like to thank everyone who reviewed. This will again be in Sam's POV
I woke up to Vanessa cuddled up next to me I smiled when I remembered what happened last night she agreed to be my girl last night I was beyond happy. Vanessa started to wake up.
"Good morning beautiful" I said smiling.
"Morning" She said smiling.
"How did you sleep?" I asked.
"Great" She said.
"Good I'm glad" I said.
I kissed me passionally and she kissed me back.
"Ready to meet the rest of the pack?" I asked.
"Yea I think so" She said.
"What's the matter?" I asked.
"Just nervous I guess" She said.
"And why is that?" I asked.
"Because what if they don't like me Sam?" She asked.
"They will love you just like I do babygirl and if they don't well then their opinions don't matter to me" I said.
"Really?" She asked.
"Yes so you have nothing to worry about" I said.
"Are you sure?" She asked.
"Yes I am sure" I said and kissed her.
"Ok" She said.
"Come on pretty girl let's get ready" I said.
"Do we have to?" She asked.
"Yes we do pretty girl" I said and picked her up and walked towards the bathroom.
"Where are we going?" She asked.
"To shower" I said smiling.
"Ok" She said.
We took a shower together which Vanessa didn't mind to at all and we got dressed.
"Ready babygirl?" I asked.
"Yea I'm ready" she said.
Don't worry you'll be fine" I said kissing her.
"Ok" She said.
"Let's go" I said grabbing her hand.
I led her downstairs where the rest of the pack was.
"Hey Sam" Seth said.
"Hi guys" I said.
"Who's this pretty looking girl" Jared asked.
"This is Vanessa, Vanessa that's Jared, Embry, Seth, his sister Leah, their mom Sue, Billy Jacobs dad and you already met Jake and Paul" I said.
"Nice to meet you Vanessa" Leah said.
"Nice to meet you Vanessa" Seth said.
"Nice to meet you guys to" She said..
I sat down on the chair and pulled Vanessa into my lap.
"So Vanessa tell us about yourself" Jared said.
"Well ok I moved to La push with my older brother after both our parents died then a few years later my older brother died and I have been living on my own and raising myself ever since" She said.
"Oh wow that sucks" Embry said.
"Yea it does how did your parents die if you don't mind me asking" Billy said.
"I don't mind they died in a car accident a drunk driver hit them my mom died on impact and my dad died in the hospital" I said.
"Oh wow" Leah said.
"How did your brother die?" Sue asked.
"He was murdered a few years later while we were taking a walk" I said.
"Wow he was killed in front of you?" Jake asked.
"Yea" She said.
"Why was he killed?" Seth asked.
"He got into some trouble with a local gang from our old town and they followed us here and they forced me to watch them beat him to death" She said.
"Wow that had to be hard to deal with" I said.
"Yea it was but I learned to accept it" She said.
"Well that's a good thing" Leah said.
"Yea I guess so" She said.
"Well I'm going to go make dinner for everybody" Sue said getting up and going into the kitchen.
"Want to go take a walk babygirl?" I asked.
"Sure" She said.
We both got up from the chair.
"We will be right back guys" I said.
"Ok man" Paul said.
I took Vanessa's hand in mine and I led her to a trail in the woods.
"Sam can I ask you something?" She asked.
"Anything" I said.
"When you saw the bruise on my cheek at the beach you said that Damien beat and raped me and I asked you how did you know and you said you would tell me soon so how did you know?" She asked.
I sighed I knew that was coming eventually.
"I knew that was coming" I said.
"Sorry you don't have to tell me if you don't want to" She said.
"No if we are going to be together then I can't keep this from you it's going to be a lot to take in" I said.
"Ok" She said.
"Just promise me one thing babygirl" I said.
"What is it?" She asked.
"Promise me you will listen to everything I have to say and not run scared" I said looking at her in the eyes.
"I promise but why would I run scared?" She said.
"You will see" I said.
I led her to a clearing in the woods we sat down in the grass.
"Ok here goes nothing how I knew what Damien did to you was because when I saw you at the beach the first time I imprinted on you and that means that you are my soul mate , the love of my life, the person that I am meant to be with and imprinting happens because I am a werewolf" I stopped for a minute to let her take it all in.
"Wow so you're a werewolf?" She asked.
"Yea" I said.
"Wow that's awesome" She said.
"Really?" I asked.
"Yea I always believed in fairytales and that werewolves and stuff like that could be real" She said.
"Wow that's a good way to look at it" I said.
"Yea it is but how did you know what Damien did to me?" She asked.
"Well since I imprinted on you I can feel what you feel and thanks to me being to alpha of the pack I sent Jake and Paul to your house that night I met you on the beach and they saw what happened and they gave the message to me" I said.
"Oh" She said.
"Yea so know all of what he did to you that nightq" I said.
"Sorry you had to see what he did" She said.
"It's ok Ness I'm glad I know what he did" I said.
"Why?" She asked.
"So that I could get you away from him" I said.
"I'm nobody special Sam" She said.
Man Damien must have done a lot to her for her to think she's nobody special.
"That's not true you are special to me babygirl" I said.
She blushed and looked away I moved her chin up to look at me.
"Don't look away when you blush you look cute I already told you that" I said.
"Thanks Sam" She said.
"Your welcome are you ok with everything I told you?" I asked.
"Yea I'm ok with it" She said.
"Are you ok with being my imprint?" I asked.
"Yea I'm ok with it" She said.
"Good I'm glad" I said kissing her.
"I'm glad to be your imprint" She said.
"You are amazing I love you" I said.
"I love you too" She said.
"Come on we should get back before they send the whole pack out for us" I said.
"Ok" She said.
I took her hand and we walked back to the house we walked in the door and I smelled food.
"Smells good" She said.
"Yes it does" I said and led her to the kitchen.
"Welcome back" Jared said.
"Shut up Jared" I said.
I pulled out Vanessa's chair she smiled and sat down I sat next to her. Sue put the food on the table. We all ate and talked.
"How about we go get your stuff Ness" I said.
"Ok" She said.
I led Vanessa out to my truck and opened the door for her and helped her in then I got in on the drivers side we pulled up at the house I got up and help Vanessa out.
"He should be at work" She said.
We walked in the door and there sat Damien on the couch.
"Came back I see slut" Damien said.
"Watch it" I said.
"No I didn't come back to you Damien" She said.
Vanessa went to pack her things and a few minutes later she came back with 2 bags.
"So your leaving me now slut" Damien said.
"Yes Damien I am" She said.
"Why?" Damien asked.
"Because you beat me all the time you raped me Damien I can't take it anymore" She said.
"Whatever bitch I will come after you and you know I will" Damien said.
"Watch what you say Damien" I said.
"And what are you going to do?" Damien asked.
"I will show you what I'm going to do" I said getting in his face.
"No come on Sam let's just go" Vanessa said pulling on my arm.
I backed away from Damien and picked up Vanessa's bags. I put the bags in my truck then I helped Vanessa in.
"You okay babygirl?" I asked.
"Yea" She said.
"No your not what's wrong?" I asked.
"Just worried" She said.
"About what? Damien?" I asked.
"Yea" She said.
"Why?" I asked.
"Because he said he would come after me and he will he means what he says" She said.
"I won't let him get to you I won't let anything happen to you babygirl I promise" I said.
"I know I'm just worried" She said.
"You don't have to be I will protect you no matter what ok" I said.
"Ok" She said.
"Good" I said and kissed her.
We pulled up in front of the house I got out and help Vanessa out then grabbed her bags and took them into the house and up to my room.
"I'm going to go take a walk babe" Vanessa said.
"I'll go with you" I said.
"No that's ok stay here with the guys I'll be fine I promise" She said.
"Ok but be careful" I said kissing her.
"I will" She said.
Vanessa's POV
I was taking a walk in the woods when I felt someone was following me I heard someone come up behind me and put their arm around my waist and a hand on my mouth.
"Hey bitch miss me?" They asked.
I knew that voice anywhere it was Damien I started struggling.
"Stop fighting me bitch or I will kill you" Damien said.
I stopped fighting him.
"Good girl now I am going to take my hand off your mouth and when I do don't you dare scream understand?" Damien said.
I shook my head yes.
"Good" Damien said.
Damien removed his hand from my mouth and I didn't scream.
"What do you want Damien?" I asked.
"I want you I told you I would come after you for leaving me and I'm going to make you pay for it you little bitch" Damien said.
"Please leave me alone Damien please" I pleaded.
"No" Damien said.
Damien turned me around and backhanded me and the force of the slap made me fall to the ground.
"Damien please leave me alone" I said backing up.
Damien grabbed my hair and pulled me up.
"No bitch I'm going to make you pay for leaving me" Damien said.
Damien kicked me in the stomach and I screamed in pain and that got me a slap in the face. Damien threw me on the ground he got on top of me and ripped my shirt off I screamed at him to stop.
"Damien don't please" I screamed.
"Shut up slut" Damien said.
He ripped my pants off and started kissing my neck.
"Help me please" I screamed.
Damien backhanded me again.
"Shut up" Damien said.
Jacob's POV
I was in the woods when I heard someone scream and it sounded like Vanessa I heard her scream again and I realized that it was Vanessa. I phased and ran to the house to get Sam.
Sam's POV
Jacob came running into the house.
"Whoa man what's up?" I asked.
"It's Vanessa" Jacob said.
I got worried.
"What's wrong with Vanessa?" I asked.
"I heard her scream in the woods" Jacob said.
"Oh my god" I said and ran out the door and the rest of the pack followed me.
"Where was she Jake?" I asked.
"This way" Jake said and ran north.
Me and the rest of the pack followed him.
"Vanessa? Where are you babygirl?" I yelled.
"Sam help me Damien's here" I heard her yell.
"Where are you babygirl?" I yelled.
"In the clearing Sam help me" She yelled.
"I'm coming babygirl just hang on" I yelled and ran to the clearing with the rest of the pack.
When I got to the clearing I saw Vanessa on the ground Damien on top of her I started shaking Jake and Paul held me back.
"Calm down man you can't phase not in front of him" Paul said.
"Sam help" Vanessa yelled when she noticed me.
I started shaking Jake and Paul held me back.
"Calm down man you can't phase in front of him" Paul said.
I got out of Jake and Paul's grip and threw Damien off of Vanessa I started beating the crap of him.
"Sam man stop Vanessa needs you" Jared said.
I stopped and went over to Vanessa and brought her into my arms I took my shirt off and gave it to her to cover up with.
"guys take care of him I'm taking Vanessa back to the house" I said.
"Ok man" Seth said.
I picked Vanessa up and started walking back to the house.
"Are you ok babygirl?" I asked.
"Yea" She said.
I finally made it to the house and saw Leah and Sue on the couch. Leah jumped up since her Vanessa have become best friends. Vanessa fell asleep about half way.
"Oh my god what happened?" Leah asked.
"Her ex attacked her" I said.
"Oh my god is she ok?" Sue asked.
"She says she is" I said.
"Where is he?" Leah asked.
"The guys are taking care of him" I said.
"Good" Leah said.
"Yea I'm going to take her upstairs" I said.
"Ok if you need anything let us know ok" Sue said.
"I will" I said.
I walked up the stairs to my room and laid Vanessa down on the bed. She had a bruise forming on her left cheek and she had bruises on both of her wrists. Vanessa started waking up.
"Sam?" She asked.
"I'm right here baby" I said grabbing her hand.
She moved her head and looked at me.
"Are you ok baby?" I asked.
"Yea" She said.
"Are you sure?" I asked.
"Yea I'm ok" She said.
"I'm going to go get you some ice for your cheek and let everybody know that you are ok" I said.
"Ok" She said.
"I'll be right back' I said kissing her forehead.
"Ok" She said.
I got up and went downstairs and saw everyone sitting in the living room.
"Is she ok?" Seth asked.
"She's fine she has a few bruises on her but other than that she's fine" I said.
"That's good" Embry said.
"Yea" I said and walked into the kitchen.
I grabbed Vanessa an ice pack then I went back upstairs to her.
"Here you go babygirl" I said handing the ice to her.
"Thanks" She said putting it to her cheek.
"Your welcome Vanessa did he….?" I said.
"No he tried though" She said.
"I'm sorry babygirl" I said.
"Why? You didn't do anything Sam" She said.
"I wasn't there to protect you when I said I would've" I said.
I got up and started pacing the room.
"God I should have been there I broke my promise Ness and I'm sorry" I said.
Vanessa got up and walked up to me.
"Sam stop it's not your fault…" She started to say.
"Yes it is Ness I wasn't there to protect you he attacked you because I wasn't there" I yelled.
"No it wasn't Sam" She said.
"Yes it was" I yelled.
"No it wasn't your fault I wanted to go for a walk on my own" She said.
"I need to get out of here for a while" I said turning to leave.
I felt Vanessa grab my arm.
"Sam please don't leave" She pleaded.
"I have to I don't want to risk hurting you babygirl" I said.
"Sam please" She pleaded.
"I will be back later I promise" I said kissing her.
I left the room and went downstairs and out the door. I heard Jake yelling my name but I just kept running I soon phased and disappeared in the woods.
Vanessa's POV
I sat down on the bed and cried. I couldn't believe Sam left. I heard the door open and someone walk in.
"Vanessa you ok?" They asked.
I looked up and saw Jake there who I have become really close to well I actually became close to all of them but Jake was like my brother.
"Yea I'm ok" I said.
"What happened?" Jake asked.
"I don't know Sam just left" I said.
"He was too angry he didn't want a repeat of the last time he dated someone" Jake said.
"What happened?" I asked.
"It's not my story to tell you have to ask Sam" Jake said.
"Ok" I said.
"I'll leave you to get some sleep it's late and Sam will be back I don't know when but he will come back" Jake said and hugged me then left.
I sighed and got ready for bed. I looked at the clock and it read 11:30 pm Sam had been gone since 6:00 pm I sighed and climbed into bed I soon fell asleep.
Sam's POV
I was wondering in the woods still in wolf form.
"Sam dude where in hell are you?" Jake asked in my head.
"Wondering in the woods" I said.
"Why in the hell are you doing that?" Jared asked.
"Because I needed to get away for a while" I said.
"Ok now that you have done that get your ass back to Vanessa" Jake said.
"I can't" I said.
"And why in the not?" Embry asked.
"I can't risk hurting her like I did Emily" I said.
"Sam what happened with Emily was a long time ago she wasn't even your imprint Vanessa is" Paul said.
"I know but still I can't risk it" I said.
"Come on Sam Vanessa's worried about you" Seth said.
"Sam get your ass back to this house it's 11:40 get your ass back here before I come and find you " Leah said.
"Ok I'm coming" I said laughing a little at Leah.
"Good because I didn't feel like coming to get your ass" Leah said.
I laughed and started back to the house. I finally reached the house and I phased back to myself and put a pair of shorts on and headed into the house. I headed up to my room I saw Vanessa in bed sleeping I stared at her for a few minutes she looked so peaceful and beautiful when she slept. I sighed and went over to the bed and crawled in. Vanessa turned over and opened her eyes a little bit.
"Is that you Sam?" She asked.
"Yea it's me" I said.
"Where have you been?" She asked.
"wondering around in the woods" I said.
"Why did you leave Sam?' She asked.
"Because I didn't want a repeat of what happened the last time I dated someone" I said.
"What happened?" She asked.
"Well I dated this girl Emily I didn't imprint on her or anything anyway we dated for about a year that is until I found out she cheated on me. Paul saw her with some guy and he came and told me anyway I thought I loved her and I was heartbroken that she would do that to me so I went and confronted her at her house and I saw her standing outside with the guy and there were kissing I was so angry that I started shaking and I phased and attacked both of them I got Emily on the left side of her face and the guy well he ran off" I said.
I looked at Vanessa and she looked shocked.
"Wow why would she want to cheat on you?" She asked.
"I don't know I never got a straight answer on why she did it" I said.
"Oh well she was stupid to cheat on you" She said.
I smiled "And why is that?" I asked.
"Because you are an amazing guy you might have one hell of a temper but you are amazing and your cute and have one hell of a sexy voice" She said.
"Oh I do huh?" I said smirking at her.
"Yes you do" She said smiling.
"Why thank you beautiful" I said and kissed her.
"Your welcome but why exactly did you leave?" She said.
"Because I didn't want to do hurt you like I did Emily I couldn't live with myself if I did" I said.
"I know you wouldn't hurt me Sam" She said.
"I didn't want to take the chance" I said.
"You wouldn't hurt me Sam right?" She said.
"I would never hurt you Vanessa" I said.
"I know so you don't have to worry about it" She said.
She was amazing.
"You are amazing" I said and kissed her.
"Just out of curiosity did you love Emily at all?" She asked.
"I did at some point but like I said I didn't imprint on her so really no I don't love her" I said.
"Good" She said.
"Why?" I asked.
"Because if you loved her I didn't want you to be with me if you still loved her" She said.
"I don't love Emily I love you after all I imprinted on you not her I wouldn't leave you for anything" I said kissing her.
"I hope not" She said.
"I wouldn't leave you sweetheart you have nothing to worry about" I said.
"Ok" She said.
"Now let's get some sleep it's late" I said.
"Ok goodnight Sam" She said cuddling up to me.
"Goodnight sweetheart" I said putting my arm around her.
