Samson lost his temper when he stepped into his living room and found Jacob sanders, Maddison and some of his vampire friends in it.
He had not seen Jacob since their fight, and normally, Samson would have gone back for a re match, but Isabella talked him out of it, reminding him that he had other things to focus on, like finding the person who had taken George. Not that they had made any progress.
“What the fuck are you doing here?” he growled at Jacob. He didn’t wait for a reply before he glared at Mark and Raymond. “And what the hell were you two thinking bringing this bastard here?”
“Oh I see you are still sulking” Jacob said, “Your feelings are still Hurt. Get over it Samson. You came for a fight and you got your ass kicked. Let go of the hate. We have more important things to worry about”
Samson growled and advanced towards Jacob, but Isabella’s hand on his arm restrained him. “Calm down, honey” she said. “Let’s hear Mark out first. It looks important”
“I heard you’ve got a mate now. A human one for that matter. No wonder you have grown so soft” Jacob said
Isabella frowned. She understood Samson’s hatred for the man. He was so damn annoying and it took everything in her to ignore him.
“I’m sorry man. We had to bring them” Mark began. “It’s about George”
“Well then speak and leave my house” Samson said, glaring at Jacob. “I have no time for your bullshit. What about George”
“Well thanks for giving me audience” Jacob said mockingly. “I have an idea where your George Is. We just found out that there are vampire hunters in town. They attacked some of my Men. They barely managed to escape and sustained some injuries, but the good news is that we know where their hid out is. We need all the help we can get since we don’t know how many hunters we will be facing, so we came to ask you if you would like to join the team. That’s if, you can put your ego behind you”
“If there are vampire hunters around, then it’s your fault, Saunders” Samson said. “You brought them here. I told you that you were getting sloppy, you fool. But you wouldn’t listen. You and your so called friends went around killing humans. Now they are here and….”
“Blah… Blah… Blah” said Jacob, interrupting him. “We do not have time for all that now. It doesn’t change the fact that the hunters are here. Now we will go after them with or without you. So are you in or not?”
“There is no way that I would ever work with you.” Samson thundered. “I don’t need your help finding George. I will do it without your help”
“You haven’t made any progress that I know of” Jacob cut in.
“Shut up, Jacob” Vanessa said, before she turned to Samson. “Look I know that Saunders is an asshole and you want to kill him. I want to kill him too and I hate that we have to work with him, but we have more important things to do. Like finding George. We have to do this for him. Saunders is right…. We haven’t made any progress…. So let’s try to put out differences behind us and work together. What do you say?”
Samson sighed and gave Jacob one more deadly look. He had no choice. This was his chance to find out if George was still alive. He would do this for George.
“Fine” he said. “But you should know that I do not trust you one but and if I have any reason to believe that you are messing with me, I will not hesitate to drive a stake into your heart. That being said, I’m in”

Later that night, Samson was still pissed about having to work with Jacob Saunders. The man annoyed the fuck out of him and he couldn’t help it. Now he had to spend the evening with the moron.
Isabella sat on the bed watching him sulk. It was kinda funny, she thought. He looked like a pissed off little kid and she was trying hard not to laugh.
“You have been this way all day, Samson” she said. “Do you really want to go find George in this mood?”
“No I don’t, but the situation can’t be helped” came Samson’s reply
“Yes it can. Let it go… At least for now” Isabella replied as she stood up. Samson watched in surprise as she began to dress up. He stopped buttoning his shirt and watched her.
“Are you going somewhere?” he asked her. “where do you think you are going to?”
Isabella stared at him like he had just asked her the most ridiculous question ever. “I’m coming with you” she replied. “isn’t that obvious”
Samson shook his vigorously. “No way in hell am I going to let that happen” he said, coming to stand in front of her. “It’s dangerous. These are vampire hunters and you have no idea what they are capable of. I don’t want to see you get Hurt. Also we are going to with Jacob and he cannot be trusted”
“Well it’s a good thing that you are going to be there too to protect me, isn’t it?”
“Belle, please” Samson began but Isabella stopped him.
“There is nothing that you are going to say right now that will make me change my mind, Samson. Besides I’m a vampire now I’m a lot tougher and stronger. I promise that if I’m in a situation that I can’t handle, I will let you know. I will try my best to stay away from the fight anyways. Just let me come. I’m worried about your safety too. The last time you were out in Jacob’s company, you came back Hurt. Let me come with you so I don’t just sit here worrying about you. Who knows, I might be of some help too”
Samson sighed and kissed her forehead. “You are so damn stubborn” he said and she chuckled. “I know that you are vampire now, but there’s a lot that you don’t know and I still have a lot to teach you. Stuff like feeding and protecting yourself. Fine, you can come, but if you do, you stay by my side and do as I say. Promise?”
“I promise”
