ETERNAL SOULMATES by Lisa Ann (books to read now .txt) 📕

growled once more as a warning to Adam that he better leave or die.

Adam being smart got up and ran off just as Jer grabbed Reece's side and threw him towards Adam.

Dustin took a sneak attack and lunged at Noah sending him tumbling to the ground howling in pain.

Noah noticed that Dustin figured out that he was injured and was going to use that to his advantage.

Jer and Dom looked up when they heard Noah howling in pain.

Marty: Jer help Noah! He was shot and he's losing to much blood!

Jer heard Marty's voice yell in his head so he turned towards Noah and could smell his blood.

Jer: Ok Marty! Stay where you are while Dom and I help him.

Dustin never felt more alive than he did now.

Noah whimpered when the pain increased as he felt Dustin draw more blood.

Dom and Jer took off towards Noah before Dustin had time to kill him.

Dom tackled Dustin to the ground just in time for Noah to shift back to human form.

Noah screamed as the pain increased more because when you get hurt while you're in wolf form it doesn't hurt as much, but if you shift back before the wound is healed then you'll feel twice as much pain as a human.

Jer shifted back, quickly rushing over to his older brother.

Caleb helped Dustin up before disappearing in the trees along with Tom.

As Jer kneeled down by Noah's side, Dom changed back too and ran to go get his sister.

The side of Noah's shirt was drenched with blood along with his shoulder.

Jer ripped Noah's shirt open to see where the blood was coming from.

He saw on Noah's shoulder were teeth marks that were bleeding a little, but the wound on his side seemed to be the source.

Dom carried Marty towards Jer, who was trying to stop Noah from bleeding too much.

Jer knew that Dom could take care of Marty because right know he needed to take care of his brother.

"Noah, I'm gonna help you up," Jer said to him.

Noah nodded his head slowly and then screamed in pain again as Jer help him up and they began walking home slowly.
CH. 9 He's Gonna Be Alright

As they got closer to the house Noah was on the verge of passing out.

Before they could get to the door everyone came rushing out.

Tanner helped Jer take Noah inside while Bryce followed behind them as they took Noah to his room.

Dom put Marty down on her feet just in time for Emma to come running out crying, throwing her arms round his neck tightly.

"I'm okay Em," he whispered in her ear, "Can you take Marty inside and help her get cleaned up and fed while I go tell Kat and Gaven what's going on then I'll come back to check on you two," Dom said kissing her softly.

"Okay. I'm glad you and Marty are okay. I just hope that Noah is too," Em said before she helped Marty inside.

Dom explained to Kat and Gaven what happend out in the forest.

Kat tried not to cry as Dom told her everything that happend and that Noah was hurt after saving him.

But what did get her to break down in tears was Noah's screams as they filled the house.

She could feel some of Noah's pain as her own because you always felt when your mate was in pain.

Kat and Emma already knew about werewolves from being around Dustin.

Kat just cried into Emma's shoulder as they waited for Tanner to come down and tell them if Noah was going to be ok.

Marty sat close to her brother praying that Noah was going to be alright especially for Jer's sake.

Several hours later Tanner came into the living room with Jer following behing him.

Marty looked up at Jer and asked, "How's Noah dong? Is he gonna be okay?"

Jer came to sit be Marty and wrapped his arms around her waist tightly.

Tanner noticed the fear on Kat's face and knew he had to tell her the news.

"We finally got the bleeding to stop so the wound can heal, but it'll take some time. He's gonna be okay for now as long as he gets his rest and eats,"

Kat smiled, keeping her head down towards her lap. She wanted to ask if she could up to him, but was afraid that she would get in way of his family taking care of him.

Jer watched as Kat got up from the couch along Emma.

He was waitng for Kat to ask him to take her to see Noah, but what she decided to say what something different.

"Em can you take me to the guest room I'm tired," Kat asked trying not to cry.

Emma knew what Kat was doing. She wanted so badly to take Kat up to see Noah, but knew the only way she would do that was if Jer told her it was okay to see him.

Emma also knows that the only reason Kat is not going to see him is cause she would feel like she is interfering with his family.

Emma helped Kat in the bed and covered her up.

Slowly closing the door behind her she could hear Kat sobbing quietly under the covers.

It broke her heart to see her cousin like this.

All she wanted to do was to tell Kat that they were apart of this family now and that what happend to Noah wasn't her fault.

Once she got back downstairs everyone was starring at her shocked.

Emma she didn't have to say anything because she noticed Marty reading her thoughts and then turned to tell Jer what was wrong.

Jer looked up at Emma with sad eyes, "Why would Kat think she wasn't part of this family? I mean, she doesn't have to ask to see Naoh, because she has every right to demand to see him."

Jer and Dom both knew that Noah had been born an Alpha and that's why he was so protective of his family, even the ones that weren't blood relative.

Jer was glad that he wasn't born an Alpha like Noah, but the one thing they did have in common was their anger.

So Jer decided to use his connection to tell Noah why Kat hadn't gone up to see him like he had told Jer to ask Kat to do after he had waken up.

After telling Noah what happend he heard him respond back.

Noah: I'm going to go see Kat.

Jer: Okay. Do you need any help?

Noah: I'm okay for right now, but I'll let you know if I do.

Jer: Okay. Don't push yourself to hard.

Noah: I won't.

Kat laid in bed crying softly until she hear her door open and the dipped down under someone elses weight.

"Kat why didn't you come up to see me?" Noah asked softly before he slide under the covers next to her.

Kat felt Noah pull her closer to his side as his arms wrapped around her waist tightly.

"I'm sorry. I just thought that Jer wounldn't want me to put you in anymore pain after what happend," she whispered through her tears.

"Kat, none of this was your fault. I had sent Jer and Tanner down there so they could bring you up here because I wanted to see you. You're apart of this family now, just like Emma is and I never want you to feel like you don't belong here," Noah kissed her hair as he shifted more comfortably in the bed.

Kat smiled weakly and snuggled closer to him laying her head on his naked chest making sure that her arm didn't hit his wrapped up side.
