I watched him as he took in his surroundings. I smiled at him, hoping that he would relax a little bit. He nodded and carried our suitcases into our designated room. Alex seemed really angry with the fact that I was in love with a werewolf. I didn't really see the point as to why he hated Zach so much. All Zach wanted to do was protect me, not eat me.

He shouldn't have any reason to feel that way."Zach nodded and continued to unpack his clothes. My body began to itch for home. I had never felt this restless before. Zach smiled at me reassuringly. He wrapped his arms around me and hugged me tightly. "We will go hunting later, I promise." I nodded, wondering what teh rest of the family was doing. I hoped that Alex wasn't saying bad things about Zach to everyone in the family.

I wondered what he was thinking. Zach appeared beside me and stared at Marcus. "Who's this?" Zach sounded really annoyed. Marcus couldn't help but grin at him."I'm Marcus. Z and I were engaged once. " I could feel the heat radiating off of Zach. This was not going to end well.
