Jacob's POV

It's been two long years since I laid my eyes on my beautiful mate. I have an idea of where she may be held prisoner but every time we've tried to break through into the vampire queens territory, we are transported back to where we began.

I can't even remember how many times I went back to try again and again hoping to break through but it was for nothing.

I knew that she was alive because I could still feel the connection from when I marked her as mine. However, when I try to communicate with her it's like there's a brick wall or a shield that won't let me get through to her.

I stood at the edge of vampire territory. I knew what would be the outcome if I tried to jump over the wall again but I couldn't just sit around. I just knew that I had to keep trying. She is the love of my life. My reason for living. I had to keep trying. I had to keep fighting.

I extended my claws, digging them into the ground as I readied myself for the huge leap. I pushed on my hind legs digging further into the ground to gain some friction. Just as I was going to leap over the edge, the metallic gate began to groan as it began to slowly open.

I watched three silhouettes standing in the distance made their way forward. As they neared me, I noticed it was a woman and two gentlemen walking on either side of her.

Her long red wavy hair danced with the wind as she stopped in front of me. She wore black skin tight jeans with a white t-shirt that was even tighter with a black leather jacket over it and removed the dark sunglasses that covered her eyes.

I took a closer look, taking in the details of her face as I noticed she resembled someone I knew. I howled in happiness when I recognize the woman before me as Samantha. Her unforgettable scent filled my nostrils and began to fill the emptiness inside my soul.

She smiled that smile that I loved so much. Her cheeks were slightly sunken in and she was skinnier than when she was two years ago but she was still attractive.

My heart began to pound loudly in chest as my wolf recognized his mate. Seeing her alive standing before us.

Her silk voice traveled through air to me as she said "Hello, Jacob."

Oh, how I missed the sound of her sweet voice. I tried to speak to her  through the mind link but the wall was still up so I shifted. "Samantha, I..." I started to say but she interrupted me.

"My name is Tatiana." She says before she looks between the men standing her sides. "Boys, let's have a little fun shall we." She said as she took a gun from the guy standing to her left, cocked and aimed it at me. "Time to die, Jacob Midnight." were the last words I heard before everything faded to black.
