36 • Honeymoon

SAM'S POV

"Em, we're here." I looked down at Emily's sleeping form.

We had been driving for two days now. After leaving the wedding reception, we drove to Boise, Idaho. By the time we got there, it was 3 am and we were both so exhausted all we could do was fall asleep. Boise wasn't our final destination though.

Emily stirred on the seat. She had been sleeping with her head resting on a pillow next to my thigh. We had been driving for 14 hours since we woke this morning, but we were finally at our honeymoon location. Although it was almost midnight.

"Where are we?" Emily asked, looking at the cabin lit by the truck's headlights.

"You want to hear something ironic," I asked laughing. "The Cullens loaned us one of their hunting cabins. Its south of South Fork, Colorado off of Wolf Creek Pass."

Emily laughing, said, "They just can't stay away from wolves and cities with Fork names."

"Let me go inside and turn on the lights," I told her.

I left the keys running in the truck so that she would keep warm as I quickly stepped out of it and shut the door. I immediately sank knee deep in snow. I made my way quickly over to the cabin and unlocked the door. The slight scent of vampire loomed in the air, but it was livable. I actually think I became a little desensitized to the Cullens smell over the past week as I had worked so closely with Alice. I felt the warmth of the cabin as I walked in and looked though the darkness until I located the light switch and flipped it on.

The place was your typical rustic cabin with a stone fireplace and bear skin rug. I heard somewhere that Emmett had a thing for bears and wondered if he had killed that bear himself. Off from the living room, I could see the kitchen and a hall that led, to what I assumed was a bathroom. Also off from the living room was a staircase which led up to a loft. Looking up, I could see a bed had been set up in the loft space which overlooked the living room. It was perfect. I turned and went back outside to get Emily. I made my way out to the truck.

"Come on, let's get you inside," I said to Emily. She grabbed her winter coat from the backseat and put it on. Once her jacket was securely on, I picked her up off the seat and we headed back to the cabin. Emily shivered and leaned closer to me, burying her face in my neck. Her face was ice cold from the chilly air. I quickly hurried into the cabin and set Emily down.

"This is really nice Sam," Emily said looking around.

She turned and looked at me and we both stared at each other for an awkward, tense moment. It was funny, it wasn't like we didn't know each other intimately, but there was something new and special about what we were about to do now that we were married. As I stared at her, I could feel myself getting excited, but decided to get our bags first.

"I'm going to get the rest of the stuff out of the truck," I told her. "The kitchen should be fully stocked if you want anything."

I turned and went back to the truck to get our suitcases. As I took them out, I picked up a scent that made the hair on the back of my neck stand up and I felt myself begin to tremble. I sniffed around and picked up the slight scent of a wolf pack. Not a werewolf pack, but an actual wolf pack. Great, that's all we needed, to be bothered by wild animals.

No wonder the Cullens liked to hunt in this area. The idea of them hunting wolves though made me shake slightly harder and it took all my concentration to calm myself down. I needed to take care of the situation before any animals came to the area. I made my way back to the cabin and brought in the suitcases.
