Heyz

Yes I uploaded fast :P couldn't keep you guys on that cliffhanger

finally found the PERFECT Taylor, played by the hunky Rick Malambri (cue the applause) Pic of said Hunk over there ----------->

The song is 'Right where you want me' by Jesse McCartney :P I donno why but I was just listening through my old songs and when I heard it I just immediately thought bout Damon, ergo, this chapter's song :P

Damon's P.O.V.

I threw the wolf I was fighting aside and he landed and didn't stand back up. I couldn't believe the rogues actually had the guts to go on my land.

I heard a girlish a girlish scream and I spotted the thirteen year old that got surrounded trying to hide as three rogues surrounded her. I ran towards her and got to the first rogue just as Jason got to the other two. We fought them off with ease and I managed to kill the wolf I was fighting.

The girl was still whimpering on the ground and I motioned for her to leave seeing as there were no other wolves other than the two Jason now was fighting, she nodded and left. Now there was only me and Jason with the two rogues.

I immediately jumped in and took one of the rogues on and soon enough we had them both on the ground. I was about to shift back when another rogue came out of nowhere and lunged a Jason biting him on his side making Jason howl before he pushed him off. I immediately lunged at the left rogue and bit him straight on the neck, he struggled against my firm hold until he went limp. I let him go and scanned the area for more rogues, giving myself a satisfactory nod before heading over to Jason.

I found Jason on the ground in human form, bleeding heavily from his cut. I shifted to my human form and pulled up my jeans.

"Okay just stay still I'll tell the others where we are" I said and tried to communicate with my pack but strangely I couldn't

"Already tried and I couldn't" Jason said "Somethings definitely wrong.

I sighed and looked over at his injury "Then they'll find us soon" I tore off a piece of my pants "But until then we need to stop the bleeding, this should be starting to heal already but it isn't I don't know why."

"I think it's something to do with the air. Didn't you notice a weird scent? And that's why most of them left after a while, so it won't affect them, just us"

I sniffed the air and found he was right "Bastards" I said "We'll deal with them later right now we need to take care of this" I said applying pressure to the wound.

"Help me up, and we'll walk there" Jason said trying to stand up. I pushed him back down

"Are you crazy? you wouldn't make it, you'r not healing wolf now." I said "We'll wait for them they're bound to find us"

"Then you go and get them I'll wait" Jason said groaning as I put more pressure on his injury

"And leave you here to die if the rogues come back?" I asked "We'll just wait"

Jason lifted his head and looked at me doubtfully "Why are you doing this?" he asked and I stared at him confused

"Doing what?" I asked and he took a breath, wincing at the pain on his side

"Helping me. I know you hate me. I am your mate's boyfriend in the end" he took a breath "don't say it wouldn't be easier for you if I died"

I couldn't help but be offended, did he really think I was that low? "One: I'd never take advantage of your moment of weakness if I wanted to kill you. I'd want to do it in a fair fight."

"Two: I respect you as alpha, you're a good leader for your pack. And no matter how much I hate you for being with my mate, I wouldn't want your pack to lose it's alpha"

"Three: I don't involve my personal business in my alpha ones. We have a common enemy and you were hurt in battle so I help. That's the right thing to do"

I sighed "And four. The most important reason actually; having you dead would hurt Lux too much. I don't deny that she loves you, no matter how much it kills me. And I won't have her grieving her best frie-...Boyfriend" I corrected myself, clearing my throat. I looked at him with determination "But don't get me wrong, I'm still going to give my god damned best to make her be mine. And if you hurt her" I chuckled dryly "That injury is going to be the least of your worries"

Damon? Come on damon answer us already I heard Jared's voice in my head

"I can hear my pack" I told Jason, he shook his head

"I still can't hear mine" he said and I nodded

"It's because your injured"

Yeah Jared I said We found a few rogues that stayed that's why we didn't go back with the rest of you

Why didn't you answer us man? Lux is going crazy. It took five of us to hold her down so she wouldn't go running after you guys. FIVE! I have no idea how she became so god damned strong. Anyway we sent people searching for you.

I felt happiness that my mate was worried about me and answered him

we're just a bit away from where we were originally fighting. I said Oh and Jared, let the pack doctor be ready I'm fine but Jason is hurt bad.

Yeah okay Jared said and I turned back to Jason. 

It was only a few minutes before I saw wolves running towards us one with some material in the first one's mouth.I saw Chase shift and put his pants on, he handed me something

"The doc said to put this on should hold him till we get there" he told me and I took the gauze and helped him wrap it gently around Jason. 

Jason didn't let anyone carry him so we helped him up and he leaned on Chase as we went to the pack house. 

I reached the house before them all and before I could even register I felt someone engulf me in a hug, and from the tingles I felt. I knew it was Lux.

I smiled as I wrapped my arms aroud her , enhaling her scent, her sweet scent. God I loved that girl.

Lux pulled away and looked at me before looking at something behind my shoulder, her expression turned from relieved to worried

"Jason" she breathed and ran from me to Jason. I turned and looked at her as she hugged him gently, trying not to hurt him. She pulled away and put his arm around her and helped him walk to the pack house.

Jason stopped beside me and looked at me "You may not be my favorite person, but you have my respect Damon I give you that" he smiled weakly "Thank you"

I nodded, not knowing what to say and I watched them walk into the house.

Lux's P.O.V.

"What was that about?" I asked Jason after I helped him down

"He's a good alpha, Saved my life" Jason answered me and I tried to hide my surprise as Ren came in the room.

"My mom will be here soon, so I'm going to help just clean your wound" she said and reached for Jason who moved away.

"It's okay I can wait" he said, his voice nervous. Ren chuckled

"Don't worry I do know a few things, my mom taught me" and with that she touched Jason's chest. I heard her gasp but before I could ask what was wrong her mom got in

"Well you sure have been using my services lately" she joked "now I want you all out while I check on him"

I nodded and got out.

Ren's P.O.V.

I stared at him incredulously. My mom had just finished patching him up and I did nothing all the time but sit in the corner and stare at him. But now we were alone

"You didn't tell me" I stated "You didn't want me touching you" I shook my head remembering how he avoided my touch like I was the god damned plague.

"Ren it's not that it's" He said

"What? Don't you dare say you were planning on telling me Jason" I said feeling my heart break "I'm your mate. How could you reject me?"

Anger flashed in his eyes "I would never reject my mate do you hear me? I'm not an asshole and I would never do that."

"yeah your a saint" I said sarcastically "I-I can't believe you Jason." With that I stood up and left, knowing he couldn't follow. I ran out of the pack house and to my own house. Throwing myself on my bed as I started crying like I've never cried before

Lux's P.O.V.

I kept thinking of what Jason said and was surprised when I unintentionally found myself at Damon's bedroom door.

I knocked and waited for him to tell me to go in. He looked shocked to see me and I stared at him, he was shirtless. his rippled chest causing my mouth to dry.

"Anything wrong?" he asked walking towards me

"I-I just wanted to say thanks. Jason told me he-Uh. Just thanks Damon" I said and averted my gaze to my feet. I heard him walk towards me

"You know I would never want you hurt Lux, even in that way." he said and I felt a tug at my heart. "I lo-" he started to say but I interrupted him

"Don't" I said firmly "Don't say those words"

he walked towards me and I started to back away. "and why is that?" continuing to walk towards me.

I gulped  "Cause I don't like games Damon"

"Neither do I" he said and I noticed I was backed up against the wall now, with his arm on the side of my face. I looked up at him, meeting his eyes

"Then why do you play them so well?" I asked

"Let's see just how well I play"  He said and made sure he was as close to me as he could. He raised his free hand and brushed my cheek, not roughly like I expected from the tone of his voice, but gently, making my wolf howl in content. I looked away refusing to let him look me in the eyes but he wasn't having any of that. He grabbed my face and made me look at him noticing my eyes turning black, my wolf was taking over.

" tell me Lux" he said "tell me someone else can drive your wolf this crazy" he demanded dipping his head and planting a kiss on my collar bone taking a deep breath inhaling my scent.

"Tell me someone else's scent can be like a drug to you" he said huskily before he reached and let his fingers trail under my shirt onto my bare skin as I shivered

"Tell me you feel the same tingles when someone else touches you like this." he raised his head and I could see his eyes were also black

He reached for my wrist and raised it to his mouth, planting a soft kiss right above my hammering pulse "Tell me someone else can cause your heart to beat this fast" he demanded and planted another kiss on my wrist. "i'm waiting Lux."

"it's the mate thing" I stated cursing myself for the tone of my voice "nothing else"

Damon smirked and kissed my cheek, lingering to whisper in my ear "you're shivering" 

I tried to seem nonchalant as I shrugged "it's been a hectic day, it's no surprise the adrenaline of it all is coming back to me"

"I don't think I believe you" he said, his eyes so much carrying need, lust that I looked away.

"I'm not asking you to believe me" I said "I only came here to thank you Damon for helping my boyfriend." I emphasized the word 'boyfriend'

He made me look up at him,his lips inches from mine I panicked that he'd kiss me

"I'm going to let you leave now Lux" he said, his breath warm against my face "no matter how much I want to kiss you" he pulled away, his fists clenched in attempt to control himself "But our first kiss won't be like this. It won't be forced, it will be when you've finally accepted me, and I sure as hell won't hesitate then"

I didn't answer him as I nodded and went out the door as fast as I could. Trying to ignore my wolf, and worse; my heart telling me to go back.

"Lux" Ren's mom stopped me "I wanted to talk to you"

"Is Jason okay?" I asked worriedly, she shook her head

"he's fine but I wanted to tell you I found a substance in Jason's blood. It's powerful, the reason he couldn't communicate with his pack. If I could only remember it's name--"

"Lycotine" I said in surprise. I knew that substance I'd used it before on my knives "Assholes. He did tell me something was wrong with the scent of the air" I shook my head "if they would have injected it instead of using it in gaseous form he wouldn't have been able to even change wolf."

"I know." Ren's mom said, her face grim

"Those rogues are getting more dangerous by the second." I stated angrily "Well they're not the only ones that can play this game"

I started walking to my room, bumping into Taylor on the way who eyes me suspiciously.

"Where are you going?" he asked me

"To make some fucking weapons" I answered him and went to my room, slamming the door behind me. They wanted to play with toys? Sure, BRING IT ON!!!!
