Just My Luck (boyxboy)

Ch74. Emmett/Sam

Emmett's POV

I waited at the border, looking for any sign of Markus and Zack. I kept yelling for Markus in my head, but I hadn't felt our mindlink in a while. Did he cut it off? What if something happened? Did Luke's team circle back around and kill them? I couldn't help pacing back and forth, ignoring the pain in my side.

The sound of a car door shutting, startled me as I snapped my head around. My ears lowered, but Vincent came around the side holding something.

"I thought you would be at the pack house by now. Sam and Lily are worried sick, but one of my shouts called and told me a black wolf was pacing the border, looking pissed, so he didn't approach. What the hell are you doing?" He asked, dropping some clothes at my paws.

I shifted so we could talk, feeling the pain in my side burn. "I have two more coming. They were supposed to be right behind me," I told him, putting on the blue jeans. "I didn't want them to cross alone since one is a vampire."

He looked at me in shock. "What the hell is going on, Emmett?"

I sighed, throwing on the black long-sleeve shirt. "I lost my pack," I told him in shame. "My father cheated during the challenge and stabbed me with a knife laced with Wolf's Bane." I lifted my shirt to show him the wound.

"How the hell are you still standing here then?"

I told him about Markus and that he was a cocky vamp, but he was on our side. Then, I told him about Zack and what my father said before I nearly died. "Everything that happened to us was his doing from the start. No wonder those fuckers were all getting inside the city. Half, maybe more, of my pack was still working for him and not me. I failed those who trusted me."

"Fuck, Emmett." Vincent leaned against the side of the car, crossing his arms. "That's one hell of a mess. What the hell next?"

I rubbed my forehead with both hands, squatting down. My head was pounding. "I don't know right now."

"Well, you are all welcome here, and anyone else escaping Revere's leadership. You know I would never refuse you here, and this was Sam's pack long ago. You both will always be welcome here, brother."

I looked up at him and forced a quick smile. "Thanks, Vincent. I don't know where I would be if it weren't for you," I told him truthfully.

He jumped, standing straight as he pushed off the car. "Fucken vamps," he mumbled.

I quickly jumped up and spun around to find Markus standing there, Zack's face buried in his neck. "Thank Luna," I said, walking toward them.

Markus didn't dare cross the line as he stared at Vincent. "May I?" he asked with a smirk.

I could hear Vincent's frustrated sigh behind me. "I guess, but I don't want a clan running around here freely vamp, so don't make trouble."

He nodded once in understanding before walking towards me. I was so worried for them both, but before I could get too close, the smell of sex and sweat hit my nose, making me stop. "Are you serious?" I growled, feeling the anger boil. I grabbed Zack from Markus's arms, making his sleeping body slam into my chest. "What the fuck did you do?"

His smug smile made me want to punch his head clean off his shoulders. "Exactly what you wanted me to do. I saved his life. After killing that Luke guy and a few shifters who thought they could take me on, he was waking up and in too much pain to carry. You know that shit affects me too, right? Just be lucky WE were able to keep in control when I healed you, or you would be having an uncomfortable talk with your mate right now." His smile grew more as his eyes snapped down to Zack.
