I just keep following James until we get to a safe house. This is not our regular safe house. We run up to the door and it instantly opens.

"Thank god your okay!" mom crys throwing her arms around me.

"Emma you okay?" Tonya ask her. Emma slides off of me going to the couch to sit down.

"Hell no I'm not okay!" she yells. "I was just kidnapped by a apparent lunatic, we flew thru a window I was just riding on the back of my best friend who is aparently a god damn wolf the size of a new born colt then...then I see horse size wolfs!" she yells exasperated. "This is not real. I'm going to the nut house now." she says stomping to the couch.

Mom let's go of me and I go over to Emma laying my head in her lap whining letting her know she's okay. That we won't hurt her. "Oh my god I'm seriously going nuts. But I seen it. With my own two eyes. One minute she's Alex the next poof a wolf. A freaking wolf." she says in disbelief.

"Alex honey you think you can shift back?" mom ask me.

'how' I ask her but I get no answer. 'how' I ask again. No answer. Why won't she answer me? I shake my head instead.

"Oh right think of your human form." she tells me. I nod an okay.

I move away from Emma laying down on the floor and think of being human. I feel a blanket going over me but I ignore it just thinking of being human. Not long later I shift back panting and gasping for air.

"It'll get easier." mom tells me. I nod an okay closing my eyes. "Your beautiful baby. Your white with black paws and ears. Just npbesutigul." she says brushing my hair away from my face. I lay there resting because that took a lot out of me. I'm so tired. I feel an ice pack going on my face. I guess I'm bruised.

'Austin' I mind link to him. I wanted to make sure he was okay but nothing. He didn't answer. I knows he's okay or I'd feel it. He might be busted up but he isn't dead. Maybe I can only communicate in wolf form.

"So anybody care to explain." Emma says after a while. I open my eyes and nod to mom. She gets help then helps me up keeping my covered. Mom takes me in a room so I can put on some clothes.

After I get dressed I sit down next to Emma.

*we are werewolves* I sign to her.

"I know I freaking seen it." she huffs. "Is everyone?" she ask me.

*everyone I know* I sign slowly to her. She nods.

"What..." that's as far as she got before some comes running in. We all jump up looking at them but Austin, dad, Billy, Zander and the boys aren't with them.

*where are they* I sign to no one in particular.

"Cleaning up." Axel answers. Jimmy's dad. I nod sighing and sit down.

*are they okay* I ask.

"Everyone is fine." he says. I nod laying back and closing my eyes.

"So uh what about Z?" Emma ask nervously. That got my attention. I sit up as everyone sits in silence then Z's dad breaks it sighing. He looks at Veronica.

"They didn't kill him." he starts out. She sighs in relief. "But they did give him a warning to leave town and never come back or they would." he finishes.

"My baby." she says busting out in tears. I feel so bad. This is all my fault. I get up and walk over to them.

*I'm sorry* I sign to them.

"No Alex I am." Victor says pulling me into a hug. "I wish I knew he was obsessed with you maybe I could have stopped him." he says to me. "I'm so sorry Alex." he whispers. I shake my head no. It wasn't his fault. It isn't anyone's fault.

I hear the door open again and I quickly let go of Victor turn around and there he is. I run up to him leaping up wrapping my legs and arms around him.

"You okay?" he ask me hugging me tightly and burying his face in my neck. I nod yes then tap his shoulder. "Yeah in fine now." he tells me. "I was so scared." he admits whispering. I hug him tighter. "How did you shift?" he ask me pulling away. He hisses when he sees my face and caresses it with his thumb. I shrug because I have no clue.

"Yeah how?" Zander ask. I look over at him seeing him holding Emma close to him. I shrug again.

"What do you guys mean?" Emma ask.

"That was her first shift." Austin answers her. She nods.

"Could anger have anything to do with it because she was pissed. I've never seen her so angry." she says. I didn't think I was that angry.

"Could." dad says. "Or it could have been the need to protect you." he finishes pointing to Emma.

"Me? Why?" she ask.

"Your her best friend, her family and her brothers mate. A sister." Billy answers.

"I think I get it." she says mostly to herself. "Like a pack member?" she ask him.

"Exactly." he says. Then he sighs. "But guys don't get your hopes up about her shifting again. It could be just a one time thing or it could only happen when she's or anyone else is in danger." he tells us.

Well that's depressing. I want to be able to shift all the time.

"Well try tomorrow." Austin whispers. "But for now your going to bed." he tells me. I nod in agreement because so I'm tired. I lay my head in his neck. "Are we staying here tonight or going home?" he ask I'm guessing Billy.

"Here then tomorrow we'll head home." Billy answers. He nods and walks away. He takes us to a room lays me down then sits on on the edge of the bed. "Damn it." he mutters looking at my face. "Does it hurt?" he ask me thumbing my cheek again. I shake my head no because it really doesn't. I have a question to ask him but I'm afraid of the answer.

*are they dead* I ask him. He pulls away from me faces the door.

"Yeah." he answers putting his face in his hands. That's what I was afraid of. Just because we are werewolves doesn't mean we don't have hearts. I scoot so I'm sitting behind him. I wrap my arms around his waist and bury my face in his back. "But I don't regret it Alex." he says. I nod in understanding. "Do you hate me?" he whispers. I shake my head no trying to write I love you on his chest but since in backwards its kinda difficult. There's no way I could hate him. He chuckles. "I love you too Alex. Lay down I know your tired." he says. I nod in agreement pulling away from him. I lay down pulling off my shorts leaving me in a t shirt and panties. He takes off his clothes leaving him in just boxers. He crawls in next to me pulling his arm under my head pulling me close to him. "Love you." he whispers then kisses the top of my head. I write I love you too above his heart closing my eyes and that's the last thing I remember before sleep pulled me under.
