I opened my eyes to see Jarred's handsome face lying next to me. I smiled and got closer to him,

"Thanks for saving me" I said.  

"I told you I wouldn't let you go without a fight"

I touched his cheek. "I love you so much, there are no words that I can say to thank you, but know I'm forever in your debt" I said softly.  

Jarred smirked "I like the sound of that"

"Hey don't be dirty" I said laughing and getting up.  

I felt so good. My head didn't hurt and I just felt alive and well, like I could run a marathon. I looked out the window and ran outside.  

"Wait, where are you going?" I heard Jarred call after me.  

"Just catch me if you can" I responded.  

I know I didn't stand a chance, but right now I felt like I could do anything. I started running faster from the house with no destination in my mind. Two arms wrapped around my waist and twirled me around.  

"Oh baby you know I can" he whispered in my ear.  

I turned to him smiling and asked the question I was afraid to ask. "Jarred, now that your wolf is gone does that mean were no longer bound?" I asked closing my eyes letting small tears escape from my eyes.  

"Kassandra, it was never about the being mates, it's just that the moment I saw you, I knew you were made for me. You were just so perfect, and I will never stop loving you." he said as he cupped my cheeks.  

"You're so sweet Jarred," I said, "cause at first I thought you were a creep."

He made a face acting hurt.   "A creep really?" he asked.   "Ya and I was afriad of you. I still am sometimes"

"You're scared of me?" he asked.  

"Ya, I'm really sorry, especially about you losing your wolf" I said looking down then back up at him.  

Jarred rubbed the back of his neck, "About that...um my wolf is still with me" he said sheepishly.  

"How?"

"Well you see we kinda, sorta kidnapped Sheila." he explained.  

"What? How long was I unconscious?" I asked.  

"Not long" he said  

"Oh my god Jarred! What the heck?! That was the payment you owed her for saving my life!" I yelled. "You agreed you were supposed to let her have it to save her nephew."  

"I was not going to let her have my wolf" he hissed.

"But you agreed and she's a witch." I said stepping back.

"Ya, but I haven't claimed you as my mate yet" he said with a strange glint in his eyes. His once grey eyes were glowing yellow, which meant it was his wolf coming out. This wasn't the Jarred I knew, he was dangerous. I took an involuntary step back.

"What's wrong?" he asked.

"Nothing, I'm just really hungry, we should go back to the pack house and eat something" I said.

"I can smell the fear all over you" he said stepping closer.

"It's not you I'm afraid of"

"Really then what are you afraid of?" he asked stepping even closer leaving no space between us.

"I'm afraid that you'll try to claim me again without my consent and that something is gonna go terribly wrong" I said truthfully.

"Last time I had silver in my system."
