"Woah what's going on here?" Matt asked, walking in to the room where the tension could clearly be felt. He, Jay and Kelly had all heard the commotion and decided that Matt's presence would be the calmest "Please, just let me go. I won't tell anyone" Valerie said really softly while tears were streaming down her face. "Adam" Matt called, meaning for the younger guy to let go of his mate. Adam let go, which made Valerie rush towards her jeans on the floor, quickly pulling them on while still keeping on the shirt Adam had dressed her in. She then quickly rushed out of the room.

"Why Casey? I could've explained everything to her" Adam asked frustrated. "She was clearly scared out of her mind, Adam. That wouldn't have helped. It would've only made her more scared." Matt said, walking out of the room and seeing his mate rushing around looking for her bag.

"Valerie, right?" Matt asked, of course already knowing the answer. "Yeah" Valerie answered, freezing on the spot, scared if he would stop her as well. "I'm Matt Casey. I'm really sorry about what happened. Do you have a ride home?" "I'm staying with my sister for a couple of weeks. I'm not from around here" "do you know how to find your sister's apartment?" "I'll manage" "calm down, sweetheart. I'm not here to hurt you or keep you here, alright? I just want you to get to your sister's apartment safely." "Are you a firefighter?" Valerie suddenly asked. "Yes I am, why?" "I think my sister mentioned you once, Sylvie Brett?" "Brett's your sister? I know where she lives. Want me to drive you there?" "I- I'm not-" "it's alright, I can also give you directions but then you have to assure me that you are alright to drive. Can you do that?" He asked her, making Valerie realize that she wasn't. She wasn't doing fine at all after what had happened. "I can't" Valerie said, before her breathing picked up to the level of hyperventilation. "Hey hey hey, calm down, deep breaths" Matt said, catching her before she could collapse and gently sitting her up against the wall. "Will! Connor! A little help here!" "No, they knew" Valerie said between her trying to catch her breath. "They won't touch you alright? I'll help you. Talk to me, Connor" Matt assured Valerie, squeezing her hands in the process. "Matt, take deep breaths. Valerie, follow his breathing pattern. Focus on his breathing" Connor explained, panicking himself a bit for not being able to help his mate through this. "Okay, good. Keep focusing on Matt's breathing" "you're doing great, sweetheart. Keep breathing with me" Matt told her before Valerie's breathing finally became normal again. "Good job" he told her "thank you" she replied, before allowing Matt to help her up. Connor was already out of the room, afraid his presence would sent his mate in a new panic attack.

Suddenly Valerie realized it was weird that Matt was here seeing as they were in Adam's house in the middle of the night. "Are you alright?" Matt asked, feeling Valerie stiffen. "Why are you here?" she asked him, making Matt stiffen as well. "Valerie, I promise-" "why are you here?" She asked again, a little louder this time. "Sweetheart" "don't call me sweetheart. Why are you here? You're all on to this shit aren't you?" "Calm down" "don't tell me to calm down! He bit me and the only thing you all tell me is to calm down! I'm not calm, I will not be calm because he fucking bit me!" Hearing her panic again made Jay and Kelly rush into the room as well. "Matt, you alright?" Kelly asked, seeing Matt sad because his mate was upset with him. "How many of you are there? What in the hell is going on?" Valerie asked, feeling another panic attack coming up. Jay, noticing the signs, called for Will and a sedative seeing as she wouldn't be comfortable with any of them. "Valerie, I know you're scared but you're getting another panic attack. You need to calm down." Kelly spoke to her, distracting her so Will could administer the sedative. "I'm- I-" Valerie slurred a bit after getting hit by the sedative, before passing out into Will's awaiting arms. "Call Sylvie" he told them before carrying his mate back to Adam's bedroom and gently laying her in the bed.

Sylvie Brett was not happy with the news she received. Having learned about wolves because she herself was the mate of Antonio Dawson she couldn't help but come to the conclusion that the guys fucked it up greatly. "So let me get this straight. Adam bit her and then you all ganged up on her?" "No no no no, that's not- we did not-" "it might have felt like that for her" Antonio said, cutting off Kelly's protests. "Where is she now?" Sylvie asked "she's in my bed" "how did you-" "we had to sedate her. She got another panic attack and she wouldn't have allowed any of us to help her through it" "so you drugged my sister?!" Sylvie screamed angrily, making Antonio pull her back onto his lap to calm her down. "Calm down, I'm sure they only did what's best for her" "whose side are you on?!" Sylvie asked him, angry that he was sticking up for them while her sister was passed out. "I'm on your side, always. But as a wolf myself I can understand why they did what they did." "You didn't mark me the same evening we met" "but I wanted to" Antonio told her being honest. "I had just enough control not to do it. Look, I understand that you're mad at them for the way it was handled but you also told me you didn't want your sister to leave again. With her being their mate she'll stay here." "I didn't want her to be forced to stay here." Sylvie protested. "I know, but look at it this way. She'll have 6 guys willing to do everything for her to be happy and loved who, admittedly, screwed up right now. But after that's all settled she'll be loved immensely." Antonio said, calming his own mate. Looking at the guys who were apparently mated to her sister, Sylvie asked "So, how are we going to do this?"
