I Can Be Your Everything

Matt's POV

"Get Zacky. NOW!" I bellowed as I entered the house. I ran through the woods as fast as I could. Val came rushing in. She looked horrified at who she seen.

"Get her upstairs now! Brian!" He appeared immediately. "Go find Zacky, and you get Effie upstairs". SO that was her name. I quickly went upstairs, kicking Zacky's door open and laid her down on the barely slept in bed. I could already hear our private doctor. In my house, trudging upstairs with his two assistants trailing behind him. His name was Dr Akira. He was a short intelligent man who was extremely calm.

"Mr Sander's, how can I help?", Dr Akira asked as he walked into the room. But he stopped dead on his tracks. His assistants stumbling in behind him. His short stature becoming extremely frigid as he stared at the body on the bed. The room was so silent you could hear a pin drop.

"Akira", he snapped out of his trance like state.

"Mr Sanders I can't help you. That is dead. I'm Sorry" Dr Akira's face was hard as stone as his forehead started to sweat. "Burn it." His statement was so blunt it even shocked me. Effie was just a human and he was being uncivilised.

"Liar. Do something now" I commanded. Becoming more and more agitated.

"Mr Sanders don't threaten me. I will not tolerate it and I do not associate myself with brutes. I cannot help you." Lying bastard.

"Please Mr Akira, is there nothing you can do?" Val's voice startled me. Akira looked down at her with sad eyes.

"I'm sorry my dear but no", With that he turned and left. Something was up, he left so suddenly, it confused me. But I couldn't care less about him. I wrapped my arms around Val, she was so upset.

"I don't know..." I didn't know what to tell her. I feel like I've failed my pack. My mate and the new member, arms should have been open wide for her. For you that have no clue. To put it so bluntly, we are werewolves. All pure bred. I am the alpha and Val is my mate. I've known her most of my life and she is my life. My one true love. Brian is my best friend, and is also a Beta, such as Zacky. He is a bad tempered dick head. He has no mate and has no intention of wanting to one either. Then there is little Johnny. He's just a pain in the ass who doesn't know when to shut his mouth, and you already know about Zacky the fuck up. We've been around for over 200 years. We've seen it all. Even in bad times we've been there for each other.

"Ugh I need water", we heard coming from the bed. Val looked over. Effie was awake. Surprisingly.

"Oh Effie!" Val ran to the kitchen and came back up quickly with a glass of water. "We thought you were dead, the doctor was just here he said you were dead! Oh never mind!" Effie didn't look like Effie. There was something so strange about her. Well she was strange. "Come on drink up we'll get you in a bath to get cleaned up". Val gave me a look telling me to leave. I shook my head and headed for the living room. Brian and Johnny sat on the couch. They looked distraught.

"Dude we can't find him" Brian said.

"What do you mean you can't find him" Aw fuck here we go again.

"We can't find him his scent his all over the place"

"You should have kept looking, you've no been out that long" What does this always happen? One always disappears at the worst of times. Zacky should be here with his mate.

"Man there's no use he's gone. He'll be back soon. Don't worry he always comes back" Brian said. For Zacky's sake I hope he's right.

****

Val came down the stairs with Effie behind her, she looked a lot healthier for than she did and her leg looked a lot better. Before it looked broken but it looks fine now...weird. Val was a lot happier now. She had been so stressed about this whole thing. She could barely sleep at night. She approached me and sat on my lap, I kissed her forehead. Effie sat down next to Johnny. What the fuck has gotten into this girl, has she forgotten everything that's happened? I was growing suspicious of this brand new Effie. She wasn't angry, or sad or anything for that matter. Well I'll just have to wait till Zack gets back.

"Do you want me to make you some food?" Val asked Effie while getting up.

"Yes please" The Scottish accent filled the room. Val disappeared to the back of the house where the kitchen was situated. I sat up leaning my elbows on my knees.

"How're you feeling?"

"Great" She replied.

"Great? How? You were out there for days"

"Quick healer" She retorted.

"Nobody is that quick at healing" Well humans aren't.

"Well I am" She gave me a challenging look. I so badly wanted to wipe that look off of her face. But she had been through a lot so I let it slide. Brian just looked at me.

"What's your name again?" Brian asked her

"Effie"

"Effie what?" She looked panicked for a second...odd but after a second she smiled.

"Stewart"

"Doesn't sound Scottish"

"So?" The conversation ended. I turned the TV on to fill the silence. It was beginning to get awkward. Johnny and Brian began chatting in the corner. And the girl just sat. Pretending if nothing had even happened.

Val's POV

Seeing Effie made me feel so guilty. I could have protected her. Although she seemed OK she probably wasn't. Poor Zacky. He wasn't the same any more, he used to be so happy. Ever since his family died he just couldn't be bothered with any thing and now he was thrown into a situation that he created himself. I shook my head and picked up the glass of juice and the plate holding the freshly made sandwich and made my way back into the living room.

"Here you go" I gave her a smile as I set the food on the small table. I sat on Matt's lap once again focusing on the TV. But something got my eye. Effie was looking at us. Her eyes were hard. She smiled at me as I turned my head to her but her eyes were still the same. "When will Zacky be back?" I asked Matt.

"I don't know baby. Maybe a couple days or so." I just nodded.

"Do you want to go out?" The tension in this room made me feel uneasy. He nodded.

"Will you be ok Ef?"

She nodded. No wonder she didn't want to speak to me. She was put through hell when she got here.

Zacky's POV

I could smell her everywhere. She was still out here and I needed to find her. They tell me lies, that they found her. But I know she's out here I can feel her. My gorgeous girl was lost and hurt and it was all my fault. I needed her and she needed me. I walked through the rest of the woods till I came to a stop at an old bar. Why did we have to live all the way out here? In the middle of fucking no where surround by fucking trees. I walked into the bar and sat at the edge on a bar stool. Only some sat in. I guess it wasn't popular.

"Can I get a beer?" I asked the old bartender.

"Sure kid" He poured my beer into a pint glass and set it down in front of me. "What's eating you?"

"You don't want to know?"

"Lady troubles?" I gave him a look. "I've been here a while and you kids are all the same". He smiled and walked away tending to some other person.

"You been out in them woods?" A man around his 50's sat down next to me.

"How'd you know?"

"Your boots" I looked down they were covered in mud.

"You know what they say about them woods?" He said to me leaning in closer. "Legend has it. Some sort of creature lives there. Hides away in the other side. He's always searching for the busty maiden" He must be fucking nuts.

"What happened then?" I mused.

"Apparently he seeks the maiden who ripped his heart out. They call her Hannya. They say she's the ugly devil side of woman. Struck with jealousy and hatred. They say she shape shifts. Always hiding from the creature.

"Interesting" I downed my pint and left. Crazy old dick.

Matt's POV

I held Val's hand as we walked into the house. It's been days since I've even seen Zacky. And Effie wasn't remotely bothered by this. Something was off about this girl. She would do things that didn't make any sense. I caught her flirting with Johnny. Which was extremely awkward. As Val and I walked into the living room there she sat next to Brian. She turned her head looking at our hands. Her eyes full of jealousy.

"Hey guys" Val said while smiling. I pulled Val closer to me and gave Effie a stern look. I was beginning to see her in a different light. I was seeing her horns.
