It was a simple enough plan. Christian would call the front desk, sounding like that creepy, murderous villain in the movies, claiming there was a bomb in the facility and that if the whole place wasn't cleared out, it would detonate.

If they didn't believe him, boom! First bomb goes off. He says he's dead serious, don't mess with him; blah, blah, blah. Still no movement, second bomb goes off and hopefully everyone gets the hell out.

Last resort: Christian beats up any stragglers.

"They don't think I'm serious," he said in a low voice, covering the phone with his hand.

I simply smiled and pressed a button. The ground shook before stilling. I heard screams on the other end of the phone.

We'd put the bombs in places where no one would be seriously hurt but hopefully they'd knock out some of the infrastructure and get everyone to leave.

Outside the door, we heard screams and hasty footsteps in the halls. Doors slamming, objects crashing down, more screaming.

"It's working," Justin whispered.

"Well it better because the wolves will be here any minute!" Christian hissed.

"Second bomb," I whispered to them and I pressed another button.

Another loud noise came and even though I'd been expecting it, I fell on my butt in shock, landing right by Christian's leg. He looked down at me, like he was suppressing the urge to laugh.

"Shut up," I told him furiously, getting back to my feet.

A small smile crept onto his face. "I didn't say anything."

It went quiet after a while and I couldn't hear anything. The three of us looked at each other, all thinking the same thing; was it safe to go out there?

Justin reached for the handle and the door swung open, a huge cloud of smoke greeting us. I coughed and gagged but Christian simply grabbed my upper arm and dragged through the cloud. Justin soon followed and we were through to a clean patch of air. We stumbled through the wake of destruction we'd left, trying desperately to find the detainment cells in the complex.

We finally came to a door and I hoped I would find what I was looking for on the other side. We pushed through and my heart raced as soon as I caught sight of a dark haired guy sitting in the dust behind the bars of his cell.

Christian leapt forward at once and ripped the bars apart. Mason looked up from his position and saw us standing there; saw me standing there. He stood up slowly, wondering if it was a dream. I threw myself into his arms and thankfully he caught me. I breathed in his familiar smell and tangled my fingers in his hair. He stared at me in pure adoration, taking in every part as though he'd forgotten what I'd looked like.

"We came to rescue you," I whispered in his ear.

"I see that," he said lightly.

"C'mon let's get out of here," I said to him, withdrawing myself reluctantly from his warmth.

"I can't. I belong here," he said expressionlessly.

"If you don't move your ass right now after we went through all this trouble to save you, I will kill you."

Mason looked over my shoulder at Christian. He smiled faintly but quickly the smile disappeared and his face froze.

"Mason, what's wrong?" I asked him.

"They're here."

Alex's face became fearful as I stared over her shoulder at Christian who had become still; he could hear the distant rumbles like I could.

"They're going to want to know why we weren't with them," I informed Christian. "What do we do?"

"I'll cover," he said immediately. "Get out of here."

Alex grabbed my hand and tried to move me but I stayed still. "Mason, why aren't you moving?"

"I know I have no right to ask this of you but I want your forgiveness. I know giving myself up can't make up for what I did to you but I need to know if you can still love me, if you still want-"

My words were cut off with Alex's lips gluing themselves to mine. I lost myself in the kiss, relishing the taste of her. I just hadn't realised how much I'd missed that.

"Does that answer your question?" she asked, resting her forehead against mine.

I smiled and Christian smacked me around the head. "Hurry up," he urged.

My hand firmly in Alex's and hers in Justin's, we disappeared. But not before I caught sight of the worry on my brother's face, something I'd never seen on him.

My knees buckled underneath me as we hit the ground. Was it just me or was the whole place spinning?
I felt someone warm squeeze my hand tight and I looked to my left to see Mason. Mason. I'd be afraid that maybe this wasn't real but he was really here, looking solemn. He saw me gazing at him and kissed me softly, cupping my chin in his spare hand.

"Eww, I don't need to see that," Justin complained from the other side of the room.

We broke away and I could easily see that our kiss hadn't erased his troubles. "Mason, what's wrong?"

"Christian."

I didn't need to be a psychic to know he was scared for his brother. Which I thought was cute considering they apparently didn't get along.

"He'll be okay," I told him firmly. "He's Christian."

I crashed not long after and Justin let Mason stay with us, considering he wasn't safe anywhere else. But he was to stay on Justin's floor, that way Justin could keep Mom and Dad from finding out my werewolf boyfriend was staying the night.

I woke up in the middle of the night; I knew it wasn't morning because it was still dark. I rubbed my eyes groggily and finally realised the reason why I'd woken up. Someone was lying next to me, stroking my hair.

"That better be you Mason," I whispered.

I didn't hear a reply, only the slight rustling of sheets as the shadow leaned towards me and faintly kissed me.

I could barely feel the kiss and I knew right then that something was wrong. I pushed the shadow away, and caught off guard, they rolled off the bed. I quickly turned the light on and saw a disheveled brown haired guy staring up at me.

"I am going to kill you!" I half-screamed, careful not to wake up my parents.

I jumped down on top of the figure and started smacking him with the nearest pillow I could find. I was winning until the door swung open and my Mom and Dad were standing in the doorway, gobsmacked.

"What the hell is going on here?"

Mason and Justin soon appeared behind them. I caught sight of Mason's face then glanced down at Christian who I had pinned underneath me.

Oh crap.
