Today is another dreadful school day. Actually it's the Wednesday after I was at the pack house. I haven't seen Blake since Sunday night and I'm extremely worried. I've asked all of the pack mates at my school but all I've gotten is "he's doing pack business." Wouldn't he tell me before he left?

Schools been miserable without having him tease me, especially now that I know we're mates. My heart and body long for him so much. Next time I see him I might just kiss him to get this over with. I don't know how long I can last without being near him.

I stare absent mindedly out the window hoping that this day will end. He'll be back home soon, don't worry I think to myself. That's all I've been thinking lately and I'm starting to believe that it's true. I mean I would feel something if he was gone right?

"Earth to Sarah, the bell rang like 5 minutes ago!" I see Megan scream at me, "Come on we're gonna be late!" Late? "Late for what?" I ask. "You'll see," Megan smirks at me.

She pulls me into her car and I look at her questioningly. "Don't worry I'll drive you to school tomorrow" she says. She starts the car and we're off on a very familiar path. I see the pack house come into sight and sigh. I don't want to be here without Blake.

"This place only reminds me of him more, why did you bring me here?" I question. "Just hold on you'll know soon" Megan whispers to me.

We go down the long hall ways and up the stairs. The top floor still has Blake's sent and I almost whimper. When we get to Blake's door Megan shoves me inside and yells "get dressed," through the door.

I turn around and see a beautiful, red corseted ball gown. I gasp as I touch it's soft, glittery shape. It's gorgeous and it looks exactly my size. Megan wants me to put on this?

Then I notice the shoes, not too tall but also beautiful, silver heels. There's a plentiful supply of makeup and hair products in the bathroom too. I guess I'm going to a ball of some sort.

I do my makeup dark and dangerous and add the cat eye to really make my eyes pop. My hairs in long spirals to my mid back and I have a sparkly hair clip holding it back. Finally I get up the nerve to put the dress on. I slowly put one leg in and feel the silky garment on me. When I officially have the dress on, I turn and look in the mirror. I'm shocked at my reflection, I don't even look like me. I actually look like someone you'd want to talk to at a party, and all the boys would want to dance with.

I hear a knock on the door just as I finish slipping on the shoes. I open it to find a smiling Megan at the door, "oh my god, Sarah you look... Wow." I look down at my self and nod. "You look stunning too!" She has a long, mermaid style blue dress on, she looks like a model. "We'll be heading down in a few minutes, just letting you know," she says as she turns to leave."

"Go where?" I yell after her but just assume she didn't hear me. I have a tight knot in my stomach and I'm really worried something might happen tonight. Where is my mate and protector when I need him?

Megan said that it would only be a few minutes but I swear I've been in here for over half an hour. I slowly head over to the door and creak it open peaking out. I don't see anyone or hear much of anything. I walk a couple of steps outside of Blake's room just for a knife to be darted straight at me.

I duck just in time. What the hell?!? I start panicking finally seeing all of the blood around me and a few bodies laying around the hallway. I hear faint screaming probably coming from outside too. I run to Blake's bedroom and slam the door shut seeing a few guys running towards me. I push the dresser in front of the door frantically and press my back up against it.

The door knocks around for a little, but finally I think the guys just gave up. I hadn't even realized I was crying yet until the tears splattered across my thighs. I'm so scared Blake... Please help me.

I didn't really know what to do so I just crawled over to the closet and shut myself in. I can't believe what just happened. I hope that Megan and Esmay are okay. Oh my god I would kill if anything happened to them.

Imagine how ridiculous I look right now, big ball gown, cried off makeup, sitting alone in a closet corner. I swear California me would have made fun of myself right now in a drama like twilight.

I don't know how long I stayed there, maybe an hour. I just softly hummed to myself and let my tears dry. I need to get out of here. I'm not meant for this life, I'm not a wolf I could barely hurt a lady bug. (I would say fly, but I would hurt flies because they are annoying as hell). I felt the hairs on my arms stand straight up and a shiver ran down my spine. I looked up slowly and saw 2 bright yellow eyes staring at me.

I was about to scream when whoever it was jumped forward and enclosed their hand around my mouth. The yellow eyes were gone and in there place were the dark brown swirling eyes that I knew.

"Woah Sarah calm down it's just me," he whispered wrapping his arms around me. I don't know if it was because of the fact that I almost just died or what but I snuggled closer in to him and breathed in his delicious scent.

"What's going on?" I mumbled. "Tonight was supposed to be the party for my return from London, and signing a long sought after pact with a well known pack there. Unfortunately our biggest enemy, shadow wood pack also knew about this. They saw this as a perfect opportunity to strike, which has started a war among us," Blake rambled off all the details.

I slowly nodded my head, "is everyone okay? I heard screaming and there was so much blood..." I say shivering remembering the hallway. "We lost a few tonight, but yes my sister, Megan and all of the higher ups are alright. They did get to my dad though and injured him so we are tightening security around here,"

Blake noticed the worried expression on my face and kissed my hand, and right on the corner of my lips. "Really Blake after all of this, and almost losing me you still won't kiss me?" I whisper in disbelief, "I never wanted this stupid bet."

Blake tilts my chin up towards him and pushes me into the wall of the closet. I gasp as he holds my hands above my head. He stares straight into my eyes, "Fuck this bet," and then his lips are on mine.
