Chapter Twenty Eight.

Alena shivered violently as another shiver ran through her entire body, from the tips of her toes to her hair line.

After Darius had thrown her against they wall and Frank had threatened him and all of the other witches and her mums announcement Samuel had carried her up the many flight of stairs to their room and decided that she didn't a rest. She hasn't complained as her back had heart and her head had started to pound. At first she had tolerated the pain whilst Samuel made a fuss but it had only gotten worse and she had developed a fever not long after that. Samuel had been worried and called for the pack doctor who looked her over and said what she already knew, she had developed a fever and it was because of the up coming decision that she had to make.

She had been told to stay in bed but she couldn't, it was obvious that time was limited and so she had spent the past few days with her parents in one of the living room away from the rest of the house whilst she spent as much time as she could with them despite Samuel's protests. She had spent her time curled up on the sofa wrapped in blankets whilst she shivered from the cold before she had to unwrap herself from them and the other layers she put on and sit alone as she sweated from the heat. She had done it a few times in the past two days under her parents worried gazed but she refused to leave them. Samuel had only allowed to let her stay if he carried her down every morning to eat breakfast before taking her to the living room with her parents, he would spend lunch with them all before going away and only returning when it was dark to take her to bed where she would eat soup and fall asleep in his arms.

Her mum and dad had spoken to her about Darius and explained everything that she already knew. It was clear that they were trying to avoid him and she couldn't blame them, she was to as she knew despite her fever she would do something she would regret. Her parents will still angry for what he had done to her and it was best for everyone if they weren't in the same room together.

She did feel a little sorry for Darius but then she understood how her mum couldn't marry someone she didn't love as she would have done the same.

She was now lying in Samuel's bed shivering violently as Daniel and Dean lay next to her with worried glances on their faces. She slowly wiggled her body closer to Dean as Daniel moved as well so that she was sandwiched between them as she soaked in the warmth that radiated from both of their bodies.

They were worried about her just as everyone else was and she had to send Samuel away to talk about the pack with Frank so that he would stop fussing around her.

"I think we should get Samuel." Dean worriedly gazed from her to Daniel.

"No," her teeth chattered together as she weakly protested.

As much as she ached from Samuel's presence her needed to tend to his pack with Frank as well as spending as much time as he could with his family as no one knew what was going to happened tomorrow.

She shivered again but not from her fever but from the thought of tomorrow. She knew that tomorrow would be the day of her choosing and the day of the inevitable fight. She still didn't want anyone to fight for her and get hurt or possibly lose their life because of her but she had long ago given up that fight with Samuel and everyone. She could only do her best to protect everyone even if that meant putting her own life in harms way.

"Alena," Dean sighed worriedly.

"I'm fine." She muttered as her shivers subsided and she finally relaxed her tense body.

"If it happens again I'm getting Sam." Daniel warned as he looked down at her.

She nodded her head and slowly pulled her arms out from under the covers so that she held her phone in her hand that she had been holding before her body started to shiver.

She hasn't had her phone switched on since she had replied and when she had turned it on early she had been more than disappointed when she saw that she had no messages or missed calls from Lucy.

She hurried to type another text to Lucy just asking how she was and made small talk within the one text. She didn't tell Lucy about what was happening nor could she bare to tell her best friend goodbye just incase anything did happen to her tomorrow.

"Had she even replied to any of your texts or calls?" Daniel asked softly from beside her as she moved her head so that she could see his face.

"No, I'm worried about her. What if something happened to her?" She asked as she felt her forehead crease with worry at the thought of something happening to her best friend.

"I'm sure she's fine and had a perfectly reasonable excuse to not returning your texts or calls, maybe she's busy. I'm sure her mum would have called you if something was wrong." He tried to reason as she remembered that Samuel had said something similar when she had spoken to him about the situation between her and her best friend.

"I know but I just have this weird feeling that something's happened or going to happen, something bad." She muttered as she rested her head on the many pillows that Samuel had gotten her so that she could rest her back comfortably against the headboard of his large double bed.

"I know and that's because of tomorrow but I promise that Dean and I will do everything we canto protect you." He said softly as he grabbed her had a laced their gingers together whilst Dean did the same to other hand before giving it a tight squeeze.

"No," she shook her head, "I need you to promise me, promise that if it gets to much you will leave, you will both run."

"Alena we can't do that." Dean murmured.

"Yes you can, neither of you have meet your mates yet! She's out there waiting for you to find her and I want be the reason for ruining your happiness." She was on the verge of tears and she began to hiccup as she pleaded with her protectors.

"Ale-" Daniel began.

"Promise me, please." She begged looking at them both and their torn expressions.

"I-" Daniel one again tried to speak.

"We promise." Dean suddenly stated interrupting Daniel who looked at Dean as if he had grown another head within the last few seconds.

Alena felt as if a weight had been lifted off of her shoulders, it was only a small amount of weight but she felt lighter as she sank further into the pillows and closed her eyes. She was thankful that she hadn't started crying like she had for the past few days at anything to do with tomorrow.

She must have fallen asleep because the next thing she knew was that she was being gently shaken awake by Samuel who was looming over her. It was dark outside and the curtains had been closed while both of the bedside lamps lit the room up in a warm orange glow.

"Hi sleepy head, how do you feel?" Samuel asked with a smile as she helped her sit up so that she could stretch.

It was a strange question to ask in the circumstances that they were in bit she was thankful for some sort of normality in the crazy life that she had been thrown into. She was thankful though for Samuels small gesture as she smiled warmly up at him watching in awe as he graced her with the smile that she loved so much, his full pink lips pulled up either side to reveal a dimple on one of his cheeks and his straight white teeth, his brown eyes boring into her own.

The emotion of love was evident in his gaze with such intensity that she blushed and looked away whilst Samuel chuckled softly and turned around to grab a tray that he had set down on the draws a little way away.

It still amazed her how someone like Samuel could love some like her.

She had only brought trouble to him and his pack by being here and she hadn't yet been able to get to know many of the pack members in the short time that she had even staying with Samuel and she was only sending them into a battle with the chances of winning unknown. She loved Samuel and she knew that Samuel loved his pack and so she was going to do everything she could to protect each and every member.

"That smells so good," she murmured softly as her stomach grumbled loudly at the smell of hot chicken soup filled her sense.

"Homemade chicken soup." He smiled as he handed her the bowl of hot chicken soup and placed a plate of buttered bread in front of her so that she could dunk it in her soup, a metal spoon had been placed in the bowl as the top of it collected the steam off of the soup.

"Thank you." She smiled happily as she watched Samuel grab his own bowl and plate before walking around the bed and climbing in beside her so that his long stretched out legs brushed against her own.

"How had your day been?" He asked as his sipped the soup off of his spoon.

"It was nice, I feel better, I dot have a headache anymore," she smiled up at him, "and it was nice to see Dean and Daniel although the left without saying goodbye."

He chuckled as she pouted a little, "you did fall asleep on them and I warned them not to wake you."

"How was your day?" She asked instead as she sipped spoonfuls of the chicken soup. She loved how it warmed her chilled insides and settled happily in her stomach. She tore her buttered bread into tiny pieces before putting it into her soup and mixing it around with her spoon.

"Stressful but the pack is ready for tomorrow and there is safety measures in place. The females and children as well as the human mates and those who cannot fight or didn't want to fight will be staying in an under ground bunker hidden in the back garden and guarded. The rest will be fighting along side is with Darius and his small clan as the other witches, Deans packs have agreed to support us and will be coming in waves from behind the rogues and dark ones in a surprise attack." She shuddered as she listened to Samuel explain the evens if tomorrow. She didn't feel so hungry as she placed her almost empty bowl onto the bed side able and turned to that she was facing Samuel who had long ago finished his soup and bread.

"I'm scared." She whispered.

She felt Samuel gently grab her small waist and pulled so that she now lay over him, straddling his hips as he lay down, his arms wrapped protectively around her as she bathed in his warmth, love and Samuel himself.

"I will never, ever let anything happened to you. I'll protect you with my life. You're my mate, my life, my future wife and the mother of our future children, you're my life." He spoke loudly and clear making she she understood his point.

"I love you." She murmured and she looked looked up from where she had been laying her head on his chest listening to his heart beat.

"I love you too." He murmured hole he smiled softly at her.

He gently cupped her chin before bringing her face closer to his before his lips gently brushed against hers. She knew that it was supposed to be a soft and gently kiss but as she began to more her lips against his she felt him press harder against hers as his hand cupped the back of her neck and the other wrapped around her waist, pulling her closer to him as she tangled her hands into small fists around his hair, feeling how smooth and silky it felt. She felt his tongue gently trace her lower lip as he asked for entry, she felt bold as she denied him earning her self a deep growl that she felt through her own chest as she giggled and smiled into the kiss.

"Alena," Samuel growled softly as he pulled back so that there lips were brushing against each other as her spoke.

"What?" She questioned innocently.

He growled again and pressed his lips to hers every so slightly before moving his against hers again, he gently caressed her lips with his own and when he traced her lower lip against she allowed him entrance as he growled in approval. Their tongues joined together in a dance, as try fought for dominance which he quickly won not that she minded as their kiss filled with need a list that they felt for one another.

She would never get enough of his lips against hers, the gentle caress that always lead to something more and his taste that filled her with desire and need. She moaned out loud whilst blushing at the sound whilst his hand that had wrapped around her gently traced the bare skin of her back that his t-shirt that she wore had risen past her thighs and bunched at her belly button revealing her creamy skin.

He pulled away all to quickly as try both tried to catch their breath. She rested her forehead against his as she looked into his capitulation eyes that had darkened with lust during their heated kiss. She felt his chest rise and fall along with hers, as he moved his hands from the back of her neck to her waist were both his hands gently needed the bare skin of her waist as she shivered in delight. She loosed her hold on his hair but didn't let go of him.

She was afraid if she did he would disappear and she would wake up alone having to face everything in her own.

"I will always watch over you, I will always protect, my little mate."
