Chapter 35

***Christian's P.O.V.***

     "Do you think she'll like it?" I asked Bryce, setting the brown teddy bear down on the small blue bed.

     "Dude! You've been working on this place for almost a month now," he says, slapping a hand down on my shoulder and gave me a confident smile, "She'll love it man, don't worry so much."

     I rub the back of my neck stressfully, but the thought of having Amy more closer and more protected puts a smile on my face.

     The threats were getting worse every single day, the rogues were out of control. We are getting attacked once a week right now. Between me running the pack, teaching Amy a few things here and there, school, finding this T.R. guy, plus late night fights with both my parents. Yeah, to say the least it's been.... a little rough. 

     But I would go through everything again if that ment I could still have Amy by my side.

     My mother and father went to King Rufus to seek out help from him about these rogues. They've been gone for a week now and won't return for another week.

     Things...have not been the greatest between my parents and I. The more we were getting attacked, the more they blame me for the attacks. The more my parents, and even some of the pack members started blaming Amy for them.

     But I told both my parents and the pack members, that Amy is here to stay. So get use to it. I just hope that she will continue to stick by my side and not have the doubting people in this pack run her off. Cause I'm not sure what I would do if I ever lost her, and I never wanted to find out.

     "You're right, she'll love it," I say, looking around the room and nodding my head in approval.

     I turn to Bryce, "So when are you going to tell Skyler about us? Cause I mean... it's been a month or so since you two started dating."

     He smiles at the mention of her name, rubbing his jaw for a moment, "I don't know man, kinda just like having fun getting to know her. Don't wanna ruin it by saying, 'Hey what's up babe, oh by the way. Guess what? I'm a werewolf and by the way. You're permanently stuck with me, cause guess what else? You're my mate! Yay you!"

     I laughed, "Well I wouldn't exactly put it in those words."

     He shrugs his shoulders, "When the time is right, I'll tell her. But now is not the time."

     I nod my head and we finished with the small house I got for Amy and Ian. That is, if she'll accept it.

     God I hope she'll accept it...

     I went to shower and get dressed before I head over to see Amy, like I always do before the night is up.

     Jogging down the stairs I grab my car keys that were hanging off the wall near the door.

     "Chris!" I hear Chelsea holler my name, causing me look back at her running up to me.

     She stops in front of me with a wide smile spread out on her face.

     "What's up?"

     "Hey could you give these to Amy while you're there," she told, handing me a deck of colorful note cards, then rolling her eyes when I gave her a questionable look, "They're just more notes and shit about being a Luna so chill."

     I nod my head and turned towards the door, freezing with my hand on the door nob. I slowly turned back to Chelsea.

     "What do you think of Amy?" I asked.

     She smirks, "I think she is very nice, and a selfless person. She's very different from all the hoes that you were bringing home. She's more real. I like her, very much."

     "Do you think she'll make a good Luna?" I asked her, taking her by surprise by this question.

     She frowns and raised a brow at me, crossing her arms, "Do you think she'll make a good Luna?"

     "I believe someday she'll make a great Luna," I say confidently.

     With that, she smiled and tightens her criss cross arms, "Then it shouldn't really matter what I think or what anyone else for that matter thinks. She still has alot to learn, like ALOT! And it's not going to be easy for you two to be together. But I mean...if you're willing to fight to keep her. It should be worth it everytime. The moon goddess doesn't make a mistake by placing you with someone you can't have Chris."

     She's right, I shouldn't be worried. I am willingly to fight to the ends of the earth for her.

     I just hope the pressure from the Luna potion won't make her stop fighting for us. I don't want her to feel like it's too much and she can't do it, and then leave.

     No I don't think she would do that, but there's always that small doubt in the back of my mind. I can never seem to get rid of it.

     I give her a small smile and a nod before heading out to my car. Getting in I hurry up to get to Amy's house. A 20 minute drive later I turn down the street to her house.

     I could suddenly feel Zander start to growl and whimper after we pulled up in front of her house. Immediately I noticed something was off.

     Where was James? He is suppose to be watching over Amy.

     "Something is wrong with mate," he says in a hurry and panicky tone.

     Fuck!

     I grunted loudly in pain and placed a hand over my heart. My whole body felt like it was on fire. There was a strong pain in the lower part of my stomach, like someone had stabbed me.

     Ignoring the increasing pain in my body, I quickly get out and was instantly inside of the house. The sight before me made me freeze in my spot.

     Justin was sitting on top of an unconscious Amy, with a knife jammed deep into her lower stomach. The look of regret was instantly swarming in his eyes.

     "Ooh my god, what have I done?" He whispers in disbelief.

      Zander rips through the surface and was completely unhinged and livid. He lets out a deadly growl, making Justin's head snap up to us.

     I could see anger rise in him at my presence, "YOU! LOOK AT WHAT YOU MADE ME DO! LOOK AT WHAT YO- AHHHH!"

     He screamed out in agony as we tackled him off of Amy, breaking a few of his bones underneath our weight. We leaned back and continuously started whaling in on his face, giving him everything that we've got.

     His blood was splattering onto us, and the bones in his face were cracking with each hit. But that didn't stop us or give us a good enough reason to let up. We only had one thought in mind.

     He will die today.

     Soon we could hear his heart stop and then his body went limp underneath us, telling us that he was dead. His face was smashed in and unrecognizable, there was blood everywhere.

     Hopping off of him we quickly hurried over to Amy's still unconscious body. The knife was still in her and she was loosing too much blood. It was oozing out of her in a rapid pace.

     Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!

**Two Day's Later**

***Amy's P.O.V.***

     "It's been two day's, two fucking day's and she's not even woken up Doc, is something wrong? Is she going to be ok?" I hear Christian asked, he doesn't even try to hide the trepidation in his voice.

     I could feel the mating sparks and a thumb rub against the side of my hand, before he gives it a good squeezing.

     "Don't worry so much Alpha, she's actually doing quite well. Humans take a little bit longer to heal Alpha. But she doesn't need to be stressed for the next month or so. But other than that she's healing quite nicely after the surgery. The knife didn't hit anything major really. That boy had terrible aim. She's a-"

     "SHE'S AWAKE!"

     I slowly lifted my eyelids up, blinking hard and holding my hand up to shield my eyes from the bright lights above me. Once they were adjusted to the light, I looked around the room.

     The first person I saw was Christian. He was sitting on the side of my bed holding my hand in his. My eyes traveling up from our joined hands to his tired looking eyes.

     In fact, now that I took a really good look at him. He looks rough as fuck. His hair was pushed back like he's been constantly running his fingers through it. His skin was paler then usual, and the dark bags under his red puffy eyes told me that he hasn't been asleep lately. But his kind black eyes were still looking at me with love as they roamed all around my face.

     I still managed to mustered up some strength to give him a small warm smile.

     "You look like shit," I teased, my voice croaking out embarrassingly.

     He chuckled lightly and let's out a big breath in relief at the sound of my voice. Like a restless dog waiting for his owner to walk through the door. Then leans forward and hands me a glass of water in his hand before kissing my forehead.

     "Well you look beautiful Princess," he whispers against my skin, sending warm sparks throughout my body as his breath drapes over me. I closed my eyes and soaked in the feeling of his soft lips against me, "Don't ever scare me like that again."

     When he pulls back he goes to sit back down next to me on the bed, taking my hand back in his. I took a drink of the water. The cold water slithered down my throat and hit my stomach quickly, making me shiver at the icy drink.

      "What happened?" I asked him, siting the glass down on the wooden stand next to me.

     His brows creased together as his hand slightly tightens around mine, "You don't remember anything?"

     I thought for a moment, then shake my head no, "The last thing I remember was..... walking up the stairs from the basement."

     His eyes hardened and his grip tightens even more, "Justin managed to brake into the house, and he tried to kill you."

     Of course, Justin! How could I have forgotten him!? The memory of the murderous look in his eyes as he went to stab me, will haunt me.

     But I also vaguely remember seeing a dark shadow behind him after he stabbed me. Leaning down to his ear and whispering something in it.

     "There was a woman," I say.

     Christian gives me a weird look, "A woman?"

     I nod my head yes, "Before I passed out, I remember seeing her. Sh-she was standing behind him, whispering something in his ear after he stabbed me."

     Chris raised a brow, "I don't recall smelling, or scensing anyone else there Princess. When I showed up it was just Justin."

     "I'm telling you she was there!" I exclaimed, feeling frustrated that he's not believing me.

     He nods his head, "Hey hey I believe you Princess," he reassures me, brushing his thumb back and forth across my hand, "Do you happen to remember what she looked like?"

     I thought for a moment longer before speaking, "Sh-she had short silver hair, with glowing silver eyes to match. She was a darker skin lady, and tall. I-I-I've never seen her before."

     He nods his head, taking a minute to soak in what I said, "I will go back there and search the place to see if she left anything behind."

     I nod my head, but something was still bothering me.

     "I don't understand, you and me just changed all the locks on the doors and windows. There was no way he could've gotten in," I say, getting more confused than anything.

     "I found this on him," He said, pulling out my own house key from his pocket, and handing it back to me.

     My eyebrows creased together, then I shake my head no, "What? This doesn't make any since, how would he have gotten this? We changed the locks on th- Oh my god! Where are the kids! Are they ok!? He didn't hurt them did he!?" I asked, going to sit up and hissing at the pain in my lower stomach.

     Christian immediately pushes my shoulders gently back, "Hey hey calm down there mamma bear," he says with a smile, leaning forward to give me a kiss on the top of my head.

     But I shake my head no, then started to lift myself up again, "I have to see if they're all alright. I ha-"

     He chuckled at my stubbornness, but still held me down firmly, "You're not going anywhere Princess. Trust me when I say that those kids are fine. They're having the time of their lives right now. Skyler and Bryce have them painting some get well pictures for you."

     I let out a breath in relief and stopped resisting against him, nodding my head I leaned myself back against the soft pillow. Pain shot through my stomach from all the moving around, causing me to groan in discomfort. I closed my eyes and flopped my head back on the mattress.

     "How are you feeling?" He asked, scooting closer to me, brushing the hair from my right shoulder and leaning forward to kiss it.

     Taking some of the pain I felt away. I opened my eyes, then lean my forehead gently on his shoulder, sighing in distress.

     "Confused, and in pain," I tell him honestly, lifting my head up to rest my chin on him.

     "Then lay back down and rest Princess," he encourages me, bringing his lips closer to lightly brush against mine.

     Slowly, my gazed started to drop down to his delicious lips. They were just so, SO fucking close!

     "I'm not tired," I tell him.

     He smiles and shakes his head, "Of course you're not."

     I smiled, then it was quite for a minute between us. A comfortable silence though.

     "Can I ask you something Princess?"

     I raise a brow at him suspiciously, "Ok before you ask, is it a good question or a bad question? Just wanting to know so I can mentally prepare myself."

     His eyes gleamed with amusement, then a strange emotion flashed through his eyes and he looked down, "You'll tell me right?"

     "Tell you what?"

     I see him bite the corner of his lip, "You'll tell if this all becomes too much for you, right? Especially now after what you just went through. I don't want you to be put under too much pressure. Learning to become a Luna and all I kn-"

     "Are you doubting I can't do it?" I asked, curious to know.

     He snapped his head back up with wide eyes, "No! I just..... I just don't want to put any pressure on you. You know, if this isn't what you truly wanted to do with your life. I would understand if-"

     I cut him off with a kiss to the lips.

     He growls softly against my lips and placed a hand on the back of my head, tangling his fingers through my hair and deeping the kiss. Blocking all of the pain that I was feeling and replacing it with pure intoxicating pleasure.

     We both pull back, breathing hard and dazed from the kiss.

     "You talk to much," I tell him with a playful smirk, "If I didn't want to do any of this, I would tell you. But I want to do this Christian. I want to be able to be the best Luna I can be for this pack, and I wanna be with you. Don't ever think I don't want this. I'm willing to go through anything with you, because I love you Christian."

     He stares at me for a moment, only blinking a few times, "You what?"

     I laugh softly, "I said, I'm in love with you Christian Shaw."

     Slowly, the cutest, biggest, and brightest smile spreaded out across his handsome face. He kisses my lips again before pulling back.

     "You don't know how happy I am to hear that. I don't know what I would do if I ever lost you," he told seriously, resting his forehead against mine.

     I chuckled, "Ooh really? Well why don't I just sit back here, and you tell me a little bit about it."

     He laugh softly, "Anything you want Princess."
