Sam-Waking up I could hear Caleb’s heartbeat under my ear, his breath shallow. I took in my view, he had sheets covering his hips down but my imagination painted the rest of the picture not in front of my eyes.I slowly looked around it was light out now, fuck we were going to be late for work I tried to pry myself from his body but found an arm that pulled me back into him. I laid my head back on his chest.“I already excused us from work. I told them we were working on a case out of town.” His voice was gruff from sleep.“So, tell me more about what I am now.” I could not help my curiosity.“Wolves and vamps have been at war for ages so technically you’re my enemy.” A smile teased on his face.Running my hand over his chest I tried to figure out the question I wanted answers to. “So, wolves hate vamps? Is that why everyone was talking at the hospital?”He rolled to face me, his arm finding a home between my ribs and my hips. “People are concerned because I am the alpha of my pack a
Sam- I could barely move while I rolled myself out of bed. The gym kicked my ass yesterday and I can feel it today. I roll off the bed and walk to my mirror, standing in front of my full-body mirror, I could see the efforts I put in starting to pay off. My body appeared slimmer, and I was starting to curve in the right places while flattening out in the wrong ones. “Sam!” My roommate Lily called from the kitchen. I could smell bacon and eggs all the way in my room which meant she had a good night last night with her date. “Come and get it!” “I'm up, Weirdo!” I shouted back, slowly pulling on a tank top and some pajama bottoms, and then I made my way to the kitchen. Coming into the kitchen I noticed we weren't alone. Lilly had brought her date back home and he was something to look at. He stood about six feet tall and extremely bulky next to Lily’s petite body. Lily only stood five foot and six inches; a couple of inches shorter than me. Tying back my long black hair in a bun, I
Sam-Mr. Stranger took the seat at the front of the table. Running his hand through his hair, he spoke “everyone take a seat, I’d like to get started sometime before lunch.” He checked his watch and rolled his eyes. This guy is going to be really fun to deal with. Everyone started taking their seats and the meeting got underway.After an hour and a half, I started spacing out. I was more exhausted from the gym than I thought and before I knew it ‘BAM’ a hand hit the table next to my seat. I looked up and there was Mr. Stranger.“Can you refrain from daydreaming on my time Kerns?” His snarky tone was deep and shook something inside of me.I looked around to notice we were one of the few people left at the meeting and I started gathering my paperwork and putting it away.“My apologies,” I said as I stood. This stranger towered over me and was almost twice my size wide-wise. He was in my book a giant. “Don’t let it happen again.” He started walking away so I mumbled my grief under my b
Sam-What the hell?! There’s no way that the hot brother who was funny at the club was this egotistical prick standing before me! What in the actual hell is happening?“Sam?” his voice sounded just as surprised “can I ask what you’re doing here?” I was nothing less than pissed. Whom does he think he is asking me what I’m doing here?“Liam? Care to explain what is going on?” Caleb’s eyes shot from me to Liam and I could feel the anger in him building as well. “Chill bro, this is Lily’s roommate. Obviously, you two have met in more than just the club. Care to get Lily and me up to date on what else you have in common?” Liam and Lily passed a very confused look back and forth. I was the first to speak up. “This is the dick boss that I was talking to Lily about. You know the egotistical one.” I laid my hand out face up in Caleb’s direction to add some dramatics to the statement.Caleb crossed his arms over his chest and looked back at me. “dick boss huh?”“Yes, you’ve been acting lik
Caleb-When I had climbed into my truck, one of my pack warriors, Lucas called. His voice was muffled as my focus had been on my rearview mirror, watching Sam. I barely heard what Lucas was saying until after I drove away and was on the main road.“Wait, what did you say?” I asked Lucas once I could no longer see Sam from my rearview mirror.“I said the rogue has been spotted.” I could hear the fear in his voice. “He was seen by your firm sir.”“How long ago?” Internally I started to panic. My mind instantly went to Sam. The last I saw her she was getting into her car.“About ten minutes ago, Sir.” I could hear in Lucas’s voice that he was expecting me to know what to do in this situation. Thinking of Sam, I started to feel a little uneasy. I had to find Sam and make sure she was safe.I thought for a moment and then said to Lucas, “Have someone follow him. We can’t lose his trail; he has already slaughtered his previous pack and a fair share of humans.”“Yes, sir.” With that, the pho
Sam-Running up to Lily’s room I start pounding on the door. My lungs ache from running into the house so fast that I was now winded. I knock again, harder this time. I hear a deep yell come from the woods. I throw open the door and turn the light on.“What the hell Sam!” Lily grabs the blanket to cover her head.“Liam! Caleb… he followed it… it’s in the woods.” I barely was able to spit the sentence out, but it was enough for Liam to jump right out of bed and grab his clothes.“How many were there?!” Liam pauses getting dressed momentarily, as he tried to fish for more information from me. “How many Sam?! Focus!”I stammer racking my brain for the words. “One. I think there was only one?”Liam reaches for his phone. “Fuck! It’s the rogue again. Stay inside and do not call the police. I will be right back just stay here.” Lily pulls the blankets down and I could finally see the scared look on her face. “Babe where are you going?!” her words tugged at my heart. Where was he going? Wha
Caleb-“It is headed right for us.” My wolf started howling out into the woods. I could feel it making circles around us, Sam couldn’t sense it as I could. The smell a rogue gives off is of the death that they have caused. This one was very potent.He started running towards us, his wolf released a world-stirring growl out. The trees stirred and I finally saw his wolf emerge. I did my best to try to put my body as a shield between him and Sam. She was helpless when it came to our wolf form.He stood there for a moment, then turned and headed away from us. What just happened? Why didn’t he kill us? Why didn’t he even fight? I shifted back and went over to Sam. “Are you hurt?” I scoped her over and didn’t see any injuries. This was good because I’ve known of humans getting hurt by being too close to a wolf that shifts.“No. Was that it? The rogue?”“Yes, but I don’t know why he left; they usually kill their targets.” I look around once more to make sure he was gone. Smelling the air, a
Sam-I couldn’t tell what Caleb was looking at, but I could feel that something wasn’t right. I went to stand by him looking into the darkness myself. I couldn’t see anything. I needed to know what was going on.“What is it?”“It’s out there I can smell it.” that one sentence coming from his mouth caused my heart to drop. I didn’t know what to do, panic, hide or stand by him, and try to fight. I looked at his expression to see if I could read anything from it, but he was stone cold still looking out the window.I watched as he loosened up and went back to the bed, “it’s moving along. The sent isn’t as strong now as it was when it was closer to us.”Holy cow, I tried to calm myself down and watch him, reading him to see if I needed to be scared. He was here, and I knew he wouldn’t let anything happen to me. He protected me in the woods, and I could see he was willing to protect me even now.I laid down on the bed. Exhaustion started poking its head out and I closed my eyes. Two days ag
