Life in the Pack

The dull crunch of gravel echoed through the Alaskan valley as a old truck pulled into the driveway of a small wood cabin that had flowers around the steps and cascading over the porch.
  "Jackie!"Toby and Kyle yelped as the walked down the small hill and up the steps as the sun warmed their russet skin. Inside the little house they found Jackie just setting a plate of warm cookies in the table.
  "Hey boys!" Jackie said happily as each boy took a cookie. "Where's your brothers and sister?"
  "Josh, Chris, David and John will be here any minute but Connor, Sam and Bryce are over at Sam's getting her stuff." Toby said nonchalontly as he got up to get a glass of milk. Jackie looked over at Kyle with wide eyes, asking for an explanation.
  "Yeah, we heard Sam say something about not being able to live with the bitch anymore then she cut out." Kyle said as he tried to take another cookie, getting a slap from Jackie.
  "Save some for everybody else!" Jackie scolded. Before Kyle could say anything in retort four more boys came in, three were Quiluete like Jackie, Kyle and Toby but one was a "pale face" as they all called him, they were all still wolves nonetheless, it was Josh, Chris, John and David, David being the "pale face". Chris walked up to Jackie and kissed her sweetly as the other guys grabbed a cookie.
  "Hey, did you three hear about Sam coming to live up here?" Chris said as he broke away from Jackie. Toby, Kyle and Jackie all got grins on their faces, their sister and final member of the pack was coming home.
  "Yes actually, right now." Kyle laughed. Chris smacked him over the head.
  "Don't be a smart ass." Chris growled as a snap of a twig sounded outside.
  "They're back from Sam's." Toby said as John rolled his eyes and gave a sigh.
  "No shit Sherlock!" Josh said shrewdly. The guys just laughed, expecting no less from Josh, the pack's biggest dickhead. Three more pack members stepped from the woods outside Jackie and Chris's cabin, another Quiluete boy around fifteen and two pale face wolves, the girl fourteen the boy fifteen. Connor, Sam and Bryce. The guys and Jackie all went out to greet them, welcoming them back home.
  "I hear that our she-wolf is coming home to stay!" Kyle said happily, punching his fist into the air.
  "Hell yeah, I'm home to stay." Sam growled loudly, her form shaking. Connor, the Quiluete wolf, and Sam's soul-mate, rushed around to the front of her.
  "Hey, baby, ssh, its alright." Connor murmured as he brought Sam's chin up so that she was looking him in the eye. He stroked her cheeks with his thumbs as she started to cry. Sam buried her face into the crook of Connor's neck as her body wracked with sobs.
  "What happened?!" Jackie asked frantically as she saw one of the strongest members of the pack break down. Connor looked over to Bryce, asking him with his eyes to explain for Sam.
  "Sam's mother severed the final cord last night... She got mad at Sam and decided to finally resort to violence. She took a salted razor and slit Samie's wrist. And when she went to see the damage she had caused her daughter there was no trace of any wound there, that's when Sam knew she had to get out of there, to run." Bryce said as his voice and body shook. Everyone gasped and Sam started to cry harder.
  "We grabbed everything we could but most of my stuff was left behind, including Boo." Sam gasped as she tried to control her sobs. Boo was Sam's miniature English cocker spaniel puppy, and she had brought the rolly-polley ball of black curly fluff up a few times and everyone saw how much she loved that little dog.
  "Who says we didn't get Boo?" Bryce said with a glint on his eye. Sam gasped and turned around, Conner's arms still staying around her waist. Bryce unzipped one of the three duffel bags that they had packed full of clothes and books and anything that they knew had any value to Sam whatsoever. When the bag was open a little black wad of fluff came tumbling out onto short stubbly legs that were tinier than it's ears. Boo.
  "BOO!" Sam yelled happily as Boo responded by yipping excitedly and chewing on Sam's finger with sharp needle teeth as the young girl swooped the puppy up into her arms. Connor looked over at Bryce and nodded his head in thanks even though the two boys didn't like each other much due to the fact that they were in love with the same girl. Bryce nodded back, a small smile on his face as he watched his best friend kiss and gentle her little dog. Sam turned back to Connor and he hugged her close, the banter of his brothers in the background. Sam handed him Boo who proceded to bite his finger rather hard and chew on his thumb as his mistress ran over to Bryce hand hugged him tightly.
  "Thank you... so much." Sam whispered as her hold on Bryce tightened for a second before she stepped away. She turned to the rest of her pack as Connor handed Boo back to her and she slung one of the duffel bag straps over he shoulder while she craddled her bundle of fluff tight to her.

  Sam's Point of View.

Ahh, I was finally home, I had my pack, my best friends and my other half along with my dog, could life get any better? I looked over at Connor, marveling at him. His russet skin, broad chest and shoulders, dark eyes, spiky black hair and muscular form, everything about him was perfect. He noticed my staring and looked back at me, a smirk on his lips. I ducked my head, my hair falling into my face, hiding my growing blush. I felt him walk over more than I heard him, and couldn't help the smile that grew on my lips when I felt his arms wrap around my waist and his lips press to the side of my neck.
  "I love you." He murmured as he held me to him, keeping us close, making me feel whole.
  "I love you too." I murmured back as the other guys continued to wrestle and argue like only they could.

  Bryce's Point of View.

I watched with a broken heart as Connor held Sam tightly to him, kissing her neck. I saw Josh and Chris wrestling out of the corner of my eye but I didn't care, I only saw how happy Connor made Sam, my Samie. Everything about her was beautiful, her long brown hair, light brown eyes, pale skin and perfect body, she was an angel, an angel that didn't belong to me.
  "I love you." I heard Connor murmur softly as he held Sam tighter.
  "I love you too." She murmured back, turning to face Connor with a big smile, her teeth a gleaming white and her canines a deadly point, reflecting the animal she really was. Boo squirmed and Sam set him down and he started to contently play with a dead leaf. Sam set down the duffel bag she was holding down and stepped from Connor's arms, taking a run at a tall apple tree that was behind her. When she was close enough she jumped and grabbed the lowest branch, swinging herself nimbly up onto her feet before doing the same thing once more, this time disappearing into the tree's canopy. She jumped back down into the first branch with an apple in one hand.
  "Connor, think fast!" She said happily, throwing the apple to her lover. He caught the red fruit as Sam let her legs fall off of the side of the branch as she swung back and forth. When she reached the high point she let go, arching her back so that she landed right in front of me. She glanced over at Connor and he threw her the apple.
  "Show offy little she-wolf." Josh grumbled, earning a smack from John. Sam laughed and took a bite of the apple.
  "Hey, we may have the muscles, but what our she-wolf lacks in mass, she gains in agility, she's the fastest one in our pack, let alone the only she-wolf." Connor said proudly, winking at Sam.
  "That was fun, you guys should try it sometime." Sam said, hitting me in the back of the head with the apple. I turned and raised and eyebrow at her.
  "Oh, you've done it now little one." I growled playfully as Sam squeaked and took off running. Though I was fast, she was faster, so I took a leap and grabbed her legs, sending us rolling head over heels. We landed with me on top, my hands pinning her wrists down and a smirk on my face.
  "Not so tough n-" Sam rolled up so the she was now on top. She jumped up and took off running again, jumping up into a tree.
