opened and Lynn, May, and Hope walked out and just left I walked in helping Kota lay down on my bed. William was leaning against the door frame looking sad and mad at the same time.

"What did you want me to do"

"I don't know, but I don't want you to leave"

"Why not you can get back to your life but now you won't have to worry about waking up head or your family missing"

"You are my life Midnight don't you get that I wouldn't have done what I did this morning if I knew you didn't feel the same way"

"You know that I care for you, why would you even say that"

"Because you are leaving me"

"I'm not leaving you, I'm saving you and your family"

"No your not you breaking me"

William turned and walked away from me I wanted to go after him but I just closed my door.

"Midnight I'm sorry"

"It's not your fault Kota your as close to family as I got right now"

"Thanks again Midnight"

"It's nothing Kota get better ok try to get some sleep"

I walked over to my stuff and started to packing everything I had my laptop and packed I grabbed all my money and my Ipod. I layed down on the bed carefully next to Kota and tried to take a nap. I woke up because the be jolted and saw Kota sitting up covered in sweat and tears falling down his face.

"Kota your fine, your safe I'm here"

I grabbed him and pulled him into a hug and held him tight, he leaned into me and just cried. When he let go of me and wiped the tears away.

"Kota suppers in a bit are you hungry"

"Yea I could eat a horse" he smiled

"Well we aren't gonna do that, but Lucy usually makes a big meal so I think you will get full pretty easy"

"Yea that sounds good to me"

I helped Kota off the bed and we started to walk down the hall we took the stairs very slowly. When we got down to the kitchen and everyone stopped talking. I looked up and saw everyone staring at Kota and me I stopped walking.

"What is it Adam"

"Heard you were leaving"

"Tomorrow some time why"

"Well us kids wanted to thank you"

"Guys it's my fault they were attacking"

"We don't blame you, we are glad that you came around and brought back our sister's and brother too"

"Your welcome guys"

I helped Kota the rest of the way into dinning room. I hadn't seen William anywhere since I got back and we fought. I would have to look for him after supper. We all ate in silence and Kota ate his weight in food which everyone kept watching because it just wasn't right. After we were done eating I helped Kota up to my room.

"Kota try to get some more sleep I'll be back later"

"Ok Midnight I will"

When I left the room I turned off the light and shut the door. I walked down the hall to the stairs and started to go up them slowly one at a time instead of racing up them like I would have 5 hours ago. I got to the top and walked to Williams room I stood there and just looked at the door. Thinking if I wanted to just go in or knock, I grabbed the handle and opened the door. William had a bag full of clothes on his bed and he was walking to his dressers and grabbing more of his stuff he grabbed some books and his laptop then he opened his top dresser drawer and threw a box at me I caught it out of instinct. I opened it up.
Chapter 11

I opened the box and there inside was a beautiful necklace. I smiled and collapsed on the ground. He walked over to me and grabbed the necklace out of the box and put it on for me, he helped me up an kissed me.

POV
William

"I'm coming with you I can't live my life without you"

"William"

"No you don't get to tell me I can't come with or that I have no choice, because last time I checked I was an adult"

"You are but what if you get hurt, I could never live with myself"

"I can take care of myself"

"I know"

I leaned in and kissed her again her lips tasted so sweet. I backed her up against the door and kissed her more. She moaned and arched toward me I picked her up and carried her to my bed I set her down carefully. I took my shirt off and layed down on top of her we kissed. Then she just put her hands on my chest and lightly pushed on it.

"What's wrong"

"I'm just finally tired after all that has happened the last couple of days"

"I understand"

I layed down next to her and pulled her close to me before I knew it the sun was shinning through the windows and Midnight was still sleeping. I rubbed her arm softly and she turned toward me she had a sleepy smile on her face.

"Morning sun shine"

"Hey when did I fall asleep"

"Not sure but didn't it feel good to sleep"

"It did, I'm gonna go check on Kota"

"Ok I'll be down in a bit ok"

"Yea that sounds good"

POV
Midnight

I walked out of the room and down the stairs to my room. I opened the door and Kota was laying on the bed he looked like a little kid. I walked in and closed the door softly.

"Kota it's time to wake up" I rubbed his back

"Mom just a few more minutes"

"Kota we got to get going soon"

Kota rolled over and looked at me and smiled.

"Oh Midnight sorry I guess I was dreaming"

"Hey your fine. So how are you feeling"

"A lot better most of the cuts are healed up. I just need to shower and get some food"

"Well I think we can manage that"

I showed him were the bathroom was and then went to find Lucy. I walked down to the living room and found her sitting on the couch reading the paper and drinking coffee.

"Hey Lucy I was wondering if you had any clothes that might fit Kota"

"I might have something around here somewhere other Bradly might have something that will fit him. "

"Thanks I'll go ask him. Oh and I was also wondering if you could make up some food for Kota too before we leave"

"No problem my dear let me know when your gonna head out and I'll get some stuff together for yea"

"Thanks Lucy"

I walked back up the stairs toward Bradly's room. I knocked on his door and he answered.

"Oh hey Bradly I was wondering if you had any old clothes I could have"

"Oh yea sure give me a sec to get them for yea"

"Ok thanks"

I waited and he handed me a bag full of clothes. I walked back down to my room to see Kota in a towel waiting for me.

"Hey Kota I you some clothes"

"Thanks I was just thinking about that"

"No problem, you get dressed and go down stairs Lucy will have some food for you ok"

"Thanks Midnight"

"No problem Kota"

I left my room and grabbed my bags and took them down with me I threw them on the couch to what I guessed were Williams. I walked into the dinning room to see Will eating a plate full of food. I smiled at him and walked over to the table and made a plate of food up.

"Well someones hungry"

"Yea all of a sudden"

"That isn't a bad thing"

"True it isn't"

Kota came down about 5 minutes later and made himself a plate he ate 3 helpings. When we were done Will and I walked out to the garage to get his truck which by the way was huge after we loaded all the our bags up and stuff he backed up to a horse trailer/camper and we loaded up 3 horses and some sleeping bags and other camping stuff. Lucy helped load things up and gave us food and drinks.

"Lucy thanks again for everything, Oh when you see Charlie tell him thanks too"

"I will, If you guys ever pass back through the state again stop by and be safe"

"We will, thanks again Lucy"

We got in the truck I sat in the middle and Kota sat in the passenger seat. We all felt safer this way there was a back seat but we wanted to be by each other. We took off down the drive way I grabbed the map out to see where we could stop first we picked Yellow Stone National Park. We took Hwy 191 to 40 and we made it to Wasatch National Forest and we stopped off at a horse trail to stretch and get some food. We got the horses out of the trailer and and went for a short ride. Kota had never rode a horse before so I lead him around so he could get use to it. We rode for about an hour then went back to the truck loaded the horses and set out again.

We crossed into Wyoming on Hwy 30 and then back out onto Hwy 89 we finally made it to Jackson about 7 at night we set up camp.

"Hey guys I'm gonna go for a run ok"

"Alright be safe"

"I will be"

I took off down the path closet to the camp site I ran a good 3 miles down the trial and collapsed.

Chapter 12

POV
Kota

William and I were setting up camp. I looked over at William. Midnight had been gone for an hour and a half.

"I know what your thinking, your thinking you can't trust me and I understand"

"Yes and no, I'm thinking what's taking Midnight so long"

"She's fine"

"How do you know that"

"Because I can hear her"

"You can hear her when she is that far out"

"Yea wolf ears come in handy sometimes"

"Yea until that moon comes right"

"You know that isn't true people think we are a wild beast with no mind while in wolf form, but we do. We're like dogs 300 pound dogs. I walk on all 4's not my hind legs like my ancestors. It's been like this for 400 years now there are so many stories from our pack that I wouldn't even know where to start"

"I know most of them already. You don't have to tell me the rest"

"William quiet for a sec"

"Why what's wrong"

He put a finger to his lips he tilted his head up.

"I'll be back, if I'm not back by 11 leave and go
