I awoke curled in Sam's arms and his warmth surrounds me I smile lightly as I see his peaceful face as he sleeps and his chest rises and falls, suddenly my mind flashbacks to last night and the disastrous dinner and the events that span out of control from there I trace the mark on my neck.

I untangle myself from Sam and head into the bathroom with my dress I toss it into the wash and step into the jacuzzi allowing the water to wash away my sleepiness I bathe and wash before washing and conditioning my hair once I'm done I wrap a towel around myself and pull the plug before brushing my teeth and hair.

I head into the bedroom and realise Sam is gone but the bed is freshly made with clean sheets. I dry myself off and change into some underwear and dress in a off the shoulder black top, skinny dark denim jeans and black trainers. I blast my hair with the hairdryer and tie it into a ponytail before gabbing my towel up and heading out of the bedroom in search of food.

In the kitchen I find freshly made scrambled eggs and beans with bacon and toast along with a black rose and a note from Sam. Pack business I'll be back soon I'm washing up in Aaron's and thought I'd give you a heads up I made you breakfast and hope you like it. I love you.

I place the note down and put the rose in a vase with some water before tucking into my breakfast.

Finishing my breakfast I rinse the plate and put it away on the rack, suddenly I jump as the door slams and I see Carrie in the doorway followed by a posse of she-wolves that I can't name I hear yelling and recognise Charlie's and Sharon's scents.

"Lauren! Where are you?!" Carrie yells and I race out of the kitchen to meet her, I'll have her head for her disrespect! I silently thanked Charlie for teaching me to not take any shit from the pack.

"Carrie". I greet coldly and her eyes blaze and I don't realise that she hit me until I feel a stinging pain in my lip and cheek.

"That's for having Josh killed!" She screams at me. What?!

Sam?

Lauren, what is it?

Carrie just showed up at the cabin and hit me for killing Josh! Know anything about this?

I'm sorry, I had too I killed him and put his head on a spike and burned his body I sent his head to his brothers.

I got blamed! Argh!

I'm sorry! I couldn't take it anymore he kept taunting me about you... I couldn't stop my rage...

It's ok I'll deal with Carrie and since when did josh have brothers?

When I killed his family I only killed his mother and father his brothers weren't there they'd been contacted and ran I never knew about it until I tortured him and beat it out of him.

Fine... I'm glad he's dead but now I have to deal with his enraged bitch of a mate...

Go get em tiger. I'll see you at the training grounds lure her there if you can.

On it she's angry so she won't be thinking straight I'll have her on her ass before she can blink.

Ha! I love you.

I love you too Sam.

I close the link and charge her, she falls hard and screams in rage as I run with Charlie and Sharon to the training grounds with a screaming Carrie on our tails...

***

We reach the training grounds and a circle of werewolves has formed around us. "You killed him! You bitch!" Carrie screams and runs at me. I dodge her and trip her up and laugh as she shrieks in rage.

"That sick bastard tortured me for three days straight! You have no idea what it was like you're just a poor slut that now she's found her mate decides to suddenly care! Well guess what sugar he's dead and he deserved it!" I hadn't realised I was crying until my vision blurred and my cheeks were wet.

Carrie lunged at me and we went down grappling Carrie clawed at me aimlessly and I punched her in the gut and pushed her off me kicking her in the side she yelled and rolled away from me and stood. I heard gasps as I'd aired my hurt to about half the pack... They would've found out sooner or later...

I noticed that Carrie had shifted and was snarling at me her fur bristled I laughed at her attempt to scare me. "Now, now didn't you're parents teach you never to hide that bitch face as a child?" I teased which earned a few 'Ohhhhh's' from the crowd.

Carrie howled and lunged biting viciously into my shoulder. I cried out but rolled her off grabbing her jaw and throwing her across the field she landed and I heard her howl as she limply stood on all fours blood dripping from her mouth as she lunged again. This time I dodged and roundhouse kicked her in the head.

"Lauren?! Where'd you learn to kick like that?!" I heard Charlie holler from behind me.

"Nowhere in particular". I shot back and was slammed in the face by a fist. I landed on my butt and growled lowly as I realised it was one of carries lackeys. "can't fight you're own battles?" I mocked as I stood confidently. C'mon I'll take you both on!" I yelled as they converged on me in a series of heated attacks, granted I ended up with a few wounds but I was holding up quite well.

"Lauren! I'm helping out!" Charlie yelled and slammed into the girl bowling her over as she violently punched her face, I hadn't noticed that Carrie had shifted back to human form and was dressed fully now. "Hey Carrie! Looks like you're friends gonna need some serious plastic surgery!" Charlie yelled as the girl lay unconscious her face bloodied so badly it was swollen and bruised. Charlie went all out... I watched carries fave fall and took the opportunity to lunge at her and pinned her to the ground I'd had enough.

She whimpered as I stared at her coldly I could see her anticipating my next move. The next few words that flew from my mouth I would never regret. "I Lauren Greyson Luna of the abyss pack, banish you Carrie Monroe from this pack forever and you may return on pain of death." I say coldly as collected gasps gather I hear her scream after me.

"I'll get you back just watch!" She screamed before she fled into the woods. I was wounded and needed Sam so I allowed Charlie to lead me to my cabin and clean me up before ranting at Sam for not being at my side as to which he kissed me and apologised to a glaring Charlie.

"Whatever. I'm gonna go see Aaron I'll see you guys whenever". She leaves her anger going with her.

Banishing Carrie felt like a blessing but her threat would haunt me as it held a more threatening promise. I'll get you back....
