What's That Supposed To Mean? - 48

HEY GUYS! IMPORTANT MESSAGE AT THE END!!!!!!

Chapter 48

It was six in the morning when we were finished with cleaning the entire mansion. We had cleaned up the blood, packed all the food and the snacks and the drinks that were left in boxes to take back to the pack. We put all the furniture back to the way they should be and made sure to cover the hole in the glass door. We removed all the lights from the backyard and the front, putting them in boxes as well. This all belonged to Stephanie and I didn't want to leave her stuff; I didn't want anyone coming back for anything.

When everything that didn't belong to the mansion was packed and everything that belonged to the mansion was where it should be, we put all the boxes in the trunk of Victor's car. The three of us were dead tired and even though I had told Victor and Noah – well, we all know Noah would never leave me alone, especially after the attack – to go home several times, they stayed and helped me.

I turned off all the lights and locked the front doors with the key Stephanie had left in the keybox.

Finally, stepping outside, I inhaled the fresh air. The sky was a light morning blue and the sun was slowly rising. We made our way to Victor's car and got inside.

“Did we forget anything?” Victor asked. Noah and I shook our heads and Victor started driving.

Thirty minutes later, we arrived. All the houses were dark inside, everyone probably sleeping. I hoped no one was too shocked by the incident.

Noah, Victor and I went to the trunk and grabbed a box each, carrying them to Noah's front porch, leaving them there. When the seven boxes were out, Victor locked his car and we walked into the Black house quietly, trying not to wake anyone up. As we walked into the livingroom we saw that my father, Uncle John, Mason and Jacob were sitting there, their eyes landing on us.

Relief washed over each of them it seemed as they all let out breaths. The four of them stood up, questionmarks on their faces.

“Why didn't you go to sleep?” I asked them with concern. They looked ready to sleep.

“Worried too much,” my father said with a small smile. “Are you okay, sweetie?”

I nodded.

“I'm okay. Go to sleep, there is nothing to worry about now.”

Even though we all knew that it wasn't true, no one said anything abou it. My father and Uncle John both nodded. Uncle John gave me a kiss on the head before leaving and Mason and Jacob waited until they were gone before they started talking.

“Did you find anything?” Mason asked.

“No,” Noah said. “We cleaned the place and packed Stephanie's stuff and the food, that's all.”

“Guys, I'm going to get some sleep,” Victor announced. We all nodded, saying goodbye as he walked out the front door.

“We should, too,” I said and they guys nodded. We all walked up the stairs and I smiled at Jacob's tired face. He knew why I was smiling and even blushed a little. “I'm happy for you.”

“Thanks, Sam. I'm glad you guys are okay.” He smiled back, giving me a big hug. “Goodnight.”

“Goodnight, Jake.”

Noah and I said goodnight to him and Mason and went to the room. I was so damn tired and just thinking about the fact that I had to get out of this dress and wash the make-up off my face made me groan. And not to mention that my feet were killing me because of the heels. I hadn't even taken them off while cleaning and now I was paying for it.

Noah pulled off his jacket and hung it over the chair by his desk. He walked over to me and took off my necklace, putting it on the desk next to him. He took off my earrings, putting them down as well and I smiled thankfully at him. He took my bag from me, putting it next to the jewellery and walked behind me, unzipping my dress. I laughed quietly at what he was doing, taking a clean tshirt from his closet and pulling it over my body. His hands snaked up my back, unclutching my bra and pulling it out. Then he gave me a goodnights kiss and with a smile, followed me to the bed.

“Thank you,” I whispered.

“Everything for you. Goodnight, Sam. Love you.

“Love you, too, Noah.”

The next day went by pretty quietly. Now it wasn't just an attack they were planning to get me, now they had attacked an innocent pack member and it's like everyone realized how serious this actually was. People were afraid to leave the territory, even their houses and there was a cloud of sadness and frustration hanging above us.

My mind was constantly trying to come up with a plan to get rid of Liz and her army, to finally end this, but no idea seemed good enough. I wasn't the only one wrapped up in this whole thing; my dad, Uncle John and Mason, Victor and Noah were at it the entire day, sitting and discussing with papers and pens on the table in front of them, writing and sketching plans.

Jacob, Aaron, Michael, Chad, Ronny, Drew and Brian had made sure the territory was safe together with the pack guards and after that, they joined my father and the others, listening to whatever they were discussing, contributing with ideas.

Meanwhile, the girls and I, Ari, Alyssa, Ramona and Stephanie, were all in the living room, sitting quietly. Sometimes, a small quiet discussion would come up and then it would fade away and we'd sit in silence again. Then another discussion and so on.

It was, like I said, a quiet day.

The next day.

When I woke up, I realized that it was very early in the morning. The clock said four and I yawned just seeing that. Why I woke up, I don't know. I didn't feel so tired at the moment, though. I got up quietly, careful not to wake Noah up, and went downstairs to get a glass of water.

As I was about to go back up, my eyes caught some movement through the window from the livingroom. I frowned and walked over to it, squinting through the morning fog. I saw something and I was sure of it. Whether it was there or not, Liz and her shit had made me suspicious of literally everything. I decided that to check what was going on and pulled on my Converse that were by the front door. Putting in my naked feet, I opened the door quietly and stepped outside. I wasn't scared if she or her army was here. All I wanted was my family and friends to be safe, and the rest, I didn't care.

“I know you're there,” I said out loud after shutting the front door. “Stop playing around or you'll seriously regret it.”

There was a moment of silence before I heard some shuffling and immediately felt my wolf clawing her way out. But it stopped when I saw who it was.

“Leona?” I frowned. “What are you doing here? At this time?”

The mist disappeared from around the blonde haired girl I had totally and unfortunately forgot about. Her brother appeared by her side in a moment and I stared at the two of them. What was going on?

“Samantha,” Leona said, smiling. “We are very sorry for bothering you so early in the morning but we are here to help. My father has brought the Raven pack here, if you don't mind. We have some news.”

“I-... News about what?” I still didn't understand what on earth they were doing here at four in the morning. Was I dreaming, maybe? It felt so real, though.

“We have news about Liz,” Leo spoke up. “She and her army have planned to come get you before six o'clock, in the morning, which is two hours from now. We are here to help you put this to an end.”

“Wait... and how do you know that she's planned that?” Oh my God. What if they were on her side? What if they had been the whole time and pretended to help us with guards and coming up with plans just to get some inside information and then give it to Liz so that she could plan a good attack? Oh no, what have I done now? I should've known better! God, Samantha!

“Our father has an inside man. And he spoke to Howard, Liz ex-husband that kidnapped you a while ago, remember? He's been keeping an eye on her, as well.”

“Are you... serious? I mean... This will sound very wrong and rude but can I trust you guys? There is so much that has happened and I just feel like there is no one to trust anymore, so I'm sorry if that's not the case but if it is the case then-”

“Samantha, please, relax! Breathe, calm down.” Leona chuckled. “First, of course you can trust us! Our fathers are good old friends and yes, Liz was too and then she became the bad guy, but we are truly here to help you and the only way to know that is to watch and let us do it. Second, yes, we are one hundred percent serious. My father sent me and Leo to get this message to you while he is setting up the pack around the area. He suggests that you do the same with your pack, even though this is riskful and we heard about the awful happening at that party. It is for everyone's safety and to end this with Liz.”

Well she certainly had me on her side. I knew I had to step it up this time and put my Alpha mode on – after all, I was pretty much an Alpha now, just not officially I guess – and make sure that I used my pack for the right thing. I will protect as many as I could but I knew that someone might lose their life. Liz wasn't a danger to only me now,, she was a danger to everyone and even though I really hate to say this and probably will regret it later, one death is better than more.

This had to stop.

Now.

PLEASE READ!!!!! PLEASE READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!

HI EVERYONE!

I've written a similar message on my message board but I want to put it here too in case not everyone will see it.

I will explain now everything that has been going on and the reason as to why I have not update in SO SO SO SOOOOOOOOOO LONG.

The little thing where you PUT the charger IN my laptop is BROKEN! So that means that my laptop can die any second as I am writing this or not but while I have the charger plugged in, even though it is not working, the computer still turns on and I can update very quickly. I am trying to fix this problem but it requires money and all that and there is not always that my mother and I can afford fixing this RIGHT AWAY. I just want you all to be really patient and understanding please and stay with me on this story. I am so sorry for all of this and for all the messages I keep sending out with excuses. I just feel like I am disappointing you guys and I dont want to but unfortunately, this is a harder problem than a writers block.

SO MUCH LOVE TO YOU ALL WHO HAVE BEEN WAITING AND SUPPORTING AND STILL ARE! Also remember, everytime I write some kind of message or comment on Wattpad, it's through the APP on my iPhone!
