* Samantha*
' Why do you always call me angel? I'm far from that..' he shrugged his shoulders.
'It fits you..' was all he said.
Decided not go deeper and concentrated on where John's scent is leading.
' Where are we?'
' Hmm, we are on my territory..'
' He's a human, right?' he asked.
' Yes..'
Walking in an abandoned four story building it hit our nostrils faster than the view.
' Do you smell it as well?' he asked.
' Yes , Damian , I can recognize blood and .. and.. seems like something is rotting as well.'
' Usually no one comes here , as it is on the border , half of the buildings in this street belongs to humans and half to us..' he explained.
' Perfect place to get rid of anything that shouldn't be found..'
' I guess..'
We walked all over the building trying to find the center of stench and only reaching the top floor gave results.
'It seems like whatever it is , must be here..'
' But there is nothing here..' he said looking around.
' Wait..'
Walked through few of the rooms on the floor.
' Can you come here?'
' Is it here?' he asked coming by my side.
' Yes, I believe it's in that cabinet .' Pointed to a big metal thing.
' Alright ...'
****
* Damians POV*
Damn.. It stinks so bad in this room..
Walked to the metal cabinet.
The view I saw opening ,it was too much.
' Who would do this !?' Shouted.
'J... J.. ' I heard Samantha mumbling.
' What?' Turned to look at her and was met by shocked face , even the color was drained, she looked like one of those heads hanged in there.
' J...J .. Jane ..' She finally said and fainted .'
' Who the f*ck is Jane !? I exclaimed running to grab her before she hits the ground but there were no response as she was already out.
***
Brought her to my place and laid on bed in my room, called the packs doctor to check on her.
' Orion , please tell me she's alright..' I demanded her as she was checking on Samantha.
' This poor girl...' She said.
' What?'
' Damian.. She's like an open book right now, going through every bad thing she experienced in her lifetime, and trust me , there's a lot.' she said.
'Oh.. the witch in you woke up..'
' Yeah, you might say that.. You know how I have to ask permission from any creature that I wanna help..?'
' Yes?' I said confused.
' Our luna , I didn't need to ask , she just let me in..'
' Alright , and?'
' Physically, she'll be alright, in fact , she wasn't even injured, but mentally..'
' Yeah?'
'She was used and abused , lost for years without possibility to even speak.' She explained.
' Why?'
'No one will tell her story better than herself.. So please alpha, be patient , and don't leave her , no matter what, because if you would , she'll die... There's so little left of this poor girl..' she said while tear escaped.
' Orion..' she wiped it off quickly.
' It's alright , i'm sorry alpha , I just.. I don't understand who would break a wolf so much.. you must promise to win her heart and to never leave her..' she seriously demanded.
'Orion .. I would never , she's my mate.. '
' As well.. she was saved by Rowena , I can feel her presence all over luna..'
' You mean, The Rowena ??'
Rowena is one of the oldest immortal witches that are still alive and it's best not joke with her at the moment because relative of her died not so long ago.. special one as well.. Rea was her name, a hybrid who were only few in whole existence.. not to forget she had two kids who would've passed genes of a hybrid... they were attacked at night when no one expected and quietly killed. Why? No one knows.. Pack never spoke of their problems..
I wonder why would she protect Samantha..
' Yes Damian .'
' Then it means I should be able to know of her past if I contact Rowena...'
' Better not Damian , please understand , Samantha has to open up on her own , her soul is still healing , and you supporting her until she's comfortable enough to tell you herself would help a lot..' She explained.
' Hey... Damian , what happened?! ' Mat and Vicky almost shouted once noticed Samantha unconscious on bed.
' Shh, let's say.. We found our missing guy, the one that went missing after Mat sent him after a newcomer witch, and a friend of her, dead, and she didn't took the view well ..' both of their eyes went wide.
' She never saw a corpse?' Mat asked confused.
' Mat, what the f* ck?!' Vicky shouted on him.
' Actually... I think she did, the same way we found them because she began panicking the moment I opened that damned cabinet, oh and Orion?' she turned from Samantha to me.
' Yes?'
' Would you happen to know someone named Jane? She mumbled this name before fainting.' She thought for a while.
' Hm.. No ,sorry alpha.'
****
* Samantha's POV*
' Samantha!' Heard steps coming , but wasn't able to answer as the ground welcomed me, when I was ready for the pain, felt arms around my waist..
Damian...
Felt him taking me into his arms and everything went completely dark..
***
' You mean The Rowena?' heard someone say .
Well that's a name I haven't heard for a long time..
'... know of her past if I contact Rowena..'
What?! Don't you dare?! Who is it ?!
Tried to listen more at the ones talking around..
'..better not Damian..'
Damian!? Ah yes, he was with me..
' ..Mat , what the f*ck..!?'
Hmm.. I think it might be Vicky , but then it means that Mathew is here as well..
Then I heard it..
' .. Jane..'
It woke something in me .. Something I never felt before.
' Stop!' I shouted rising to sit quickly.
It was obviously a bad choice as everything began spinning around .
'Lie down sweetheart , you'll feel better in few moments..' Some woman in her thirties told.
I rejected her advise and sat anyway, dizziness passed after few seconds.
' Where am I ?' I asked looking around.
'O..' I know where , in Damians room.. Turned to him .
' Guys, can you leave? She needs to rest..' heard him say and saw them leaving.
'Why am I here?' I asked him once closed the door.
' What do you mean by why? You fainted , what else did I had to do ? leave you there?' he answered kind of pissed.
' No.. No, thank you..'
' That's my girl..' he said quietly looking satisfied.
'What?'
' Nothing, so, can you explain to me why you reacted the way you did?' he asked coming to sit on a side of bed.
' Hee, mister, distance..'
' My place, my room , my bed and most certainly my girl.. Do I need to continue? '
' No..' I said letting out a breath.
'So?'
' What so? I have nothing to say..'
' You know it really hurts that you don't trust me..' he told sadly.
'I can't Damian..' I said standing up from bed.
' What do you want? I'll tell or do anything you want just so you would open up to me..' he begged gently taking my hand.
I wanted to pull it from him but something deep inside me told to stop..
'I can't ' with that said tears began falling nonstop..
'Please.. No .. don't cry..' he quickly stood up and embraced me into his warm hug.
'I'm sorry Damian ..'
' No worries angel, take your time..' he told gently caressing my hair.
' Why are you so patient with me?'
' You are mine..' was all he said..
' Damian? Who was that woman?'
' Oh , right.. Orion , she's a witch of our pack, doctor as well.'
' I think I'll need to apologise her ..' I said with a chuckle.
He rose my chin so I would look at him .
' No need baby girl, she .. Orion has a special ability with which she can dig through your memories, she knows what you went through and understands why you acted the way you did..'
' She what?!'
' Don't panic, it's between you and her.. She didn't say word..' he tried .
' Can I speak to her later?'
I need to , maybe she has answers I want so much..
' Of course.'

* Damians POV*
'You know... I'm not sure if it will make you angry or not, but i'm not letting you go tonight..' she looked at me with her teary eyes in question.
' W.. what?'
' it's already midnight, you need rest , I do as well.. there is no way I'm letting you walk home..' she let out a breath.
' Then.. where do I sleep?' she whispered more like asking herself.
' In my bed..' I told simply.
When she was about to object I quickly interrupted.
' I'll sleep on the couch..' It seemed to calm her down as she said nothing and just left my hug and sat on bed.
' Alright..'
She could've let me hug her for a little longer , but alright.. that's a huge step already..
Nothing was said anymore as we just went to sleep...
***
'Don't overreact..' Keith said waking me up.
' What? why?'
'Wait and you'll feel.'
What the hell is this dog talking about..
Ohh..
I can't believe it.. I think she's sleepwalking ...
It was quiet for a moment , then steps came closer, and..
And she landed on me, firstly started feeling one of her legs on side, then her hand, and eventually she landed her body on mine .
Goddess .. You are not making it any easier..
Pulled a blanket on us that has fallen off me earlier , hugged my angel and sunk into dreams again..
***
Woke up feeling something moving on me , oh.. Yes..
'Few more minutes angel..' said engulfing her into a tighter hug..
' What? How ? I was in bed and now..' she murmured slightly panicking.
' I guess I won't get my few minutes .. You walked to me at night.. Don't you remember? '
' No...' she whispered with wide eyes.
'You know.. it's fun how even unconsciously your body knows that you belong to me ..' I said with a cringe.
'You did something, didn't you..' She demanded getting off me.
' Nope , it was all you , angel..'
' Ugh!..'
'You can go to take a shower, i'll borrow you something to wear until you reach home..' I offered.
' Thank you.' She said and went to the bathroom.
