Genres: Romance, humor, suspense, supernatural
Couple: Jacob Black/Reid Garwin
Important Note: On the Twilight side, this takes place after all the events of the movies, just without Jacob being in love with Bella or any girl. Him and Bella just are best friends. On the Covenant side, everything of that plot doesn't exist and is completely AU (as in no events or story is brought over from the movie), so consider everything you know about the Covenant boys to be a blank slate. That's it, enjoy!
Jacob's Puppy
A Covenant and Twilight crossover
Chapter 1: Change of Scenery
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Reid Garwin walked through his and his mother's new two story house carrying a box labeled 'kitchen supplies/fragile'. His mom was walking toward his direction across the living room, meeting his eyes when she noticed him.
"How many more is there?" She asked him.
"This is the last one." He stated.
His mother sighed in relief. "Thank goodness."
Reid laughed. "I'll say. These boxes are one hell of a chore to get in one by one."
Reid and his mother moved from Seattle to La Push. They were thankful for it since a packed city wasn't a good place for wolves to live. Yep, he and his mother are werewolves, which no one but his family knows about. The reason they lived in the city was for his mother's new job deal. It was a nice paying job, a high school teacher for a school that was top of its class, one of the best in Washington. That job was the reason they were even able to buy a nice two story house. Without it, they would've only been able to get an unappealing looking one story.
Reid did miss his old home in Crescent (his original home), but this new place La Push seems close to what Crescent offered, so he wasn't as homesick anymore.
His mother smiled at him. "Thanks, dear. We can relax a while before starting to pack everything away."
Reid smiled happily at that just as his cellphone rang. He walked over to the stairs and ascended to his room as he answered, seeing it was his best friend in the whole world.
"Hey, Ty." He said happily as he laid down on his back on his bed.
"Hey, man! How was the move?" Tyler asked.
"Not bad at all. It was very smooth and relaxing. The only thing I didn't like was unpacking boxes."
Tyler groaned in agreement. "Yeah, who does?"
"Right?" Reid stated with a smile. "Now that I live near a nice sized beach and not those super small ones by Seattle, a lot of hot guys will roam topless around here." He said in a grin.
Tyler laughed. "You and going guy crazy, I swear."
"Shut up, you're the same with girls," Reid said playfully. When Tyler did nothing but sigh in defeat, Reid smirked.
"Haha, got ya!" Reid said smugly in triumph.
Tyler rolled his eyes playfully. "Yeah, yeah, alright…I'll hand you that one," Reid cheered in beating his friend at comebacks until Tyler spoke again.
"We should totally meet up sometime, see the new house, explore the new area." Tyler ventured.
"Yeah, definitely a plan. Have Pogue, Caleb, and their girlfriends Kate and Sarah come down also the second time around?" Reid asked. All his friends were back in Seattle which was only 3 hours away from the town he lived in now.
Tyler smiled. "Yeah, they surely need to join us sometime after the first trip of just me and you….a group vacation…that sounds fun."
"Mm-hmm." Reid responded thinking right then about how fun it would be. The daydream and his chat with Tyler was interrupted by his mom entering his room, his door being open.
"Okay, hon, let's unpack everything now." Reid's mom said in a smile. Reid shifted his phone to where his voice wasn't going directly to Tyler.
"Kay, mom, I'll be right down," Hearing that, his mom went back downstairs. Reid then moved his phone back directly under his mouth.
"Sorry, dude, gotta go."
"Alright, call me later so we can catch up some more." Tyler stated.
"Okay, bye, Ty."
"See ya, Re."
Once they both hanged up, Reid left his room to join his mom downstairs to unpack all their stuff from all the boxes. He groaned on his way down.
"My least favorite thing about moving."

A few hours later after Reid and his mom unpacked, Reid decided to unwind at the nice sized, beautiful beach which he found out was called Quileute Beach. He walked since it was only a mile and a half away from where he lived, plus he loved walking, so if he could he would choose walking over driving. Once he got to the beach, he took off his black t-shirt – wearing his swim trunks already – gray tank top, shoes along with socks and put them in the backpack he brought so he could keep his things dry and free of sand and put it where the water doesn't reach. As he was about to walk down to the water line, a hand touched his shoulder with a weak grip. Reid stuttered in his steps a tad from the surprise and turned his head to look behind him, only to see a guy – fully clothed, seemed a little older than him – who looked a bit dazed, goofy grin set on his face. Reid turned fully around now, the guy reeking of alcohol which made him grimace in distaste discreetly. He hated alcohol abuse, and he can tell this guy hit the bottles hard. He just wanted to get away from him fast as possible.
The drunk guy grinned stupidly at him. "Heeellooo…damn, you look good, baby boy. Blond beauties like you walkin' around with no shirt and tight as hell short trunks?….God, you're really askin' for it. And I can give you exactly what you need." The guy leaned all in his personal space and squeezed his ass.
Reid stiffened and gasped with widened eyes in alarm and smacked his hand away from him and backed up a few steps so the guy wasn't leaning on him with his face so close to his anymore.
"Hey! Don't touch me! You don't touch people you don't know like that, big oaf." Reid exclaimed angrily.
This got the guy more excited. "Ah, feisty one…that's so hot. Bet that means you're wild in bed, huh?"
Reid was fed up then. "Leave me alone, pervert." He said as he moved to walk away, but a hand came grabbing around his waist this time, effectively stopping him from getting away.
"Oh no, ain't no way I'm letting you get away." The guy stated mischievously.
Sensing this guy was human, Reid was about to unleash his true strength to get out of the hold, but before he could, he heard another guy's voice join their little scuffle.
"He said leave him alone. I suggest you listen before you get your ass handed to you." The guy said, who was walking up to them from the side, noticing someone was in trouble.
The distraction allowed Reid to get out of the guy's arms and get a few safe steps away from the drunk human. The guy's focus was completely on the newcomer that interrupted him, not happy he didn't have the beauty all to himself.
"Back off, man! He's mine. And I was about to get me some ass handed to me if you didn't interrupt. Now you're dead meat."
The drunk man walked angrily towards the guy that interrupted him and swung his fist to his face. Seeing this, Reid got worried for the guy that saved him. But when Reid saw his protector not flinch once from the punch or showing that it fazed him at all, he heard the drunk guy groan in pain and held his hand to his chest.
The tan boy huffed. "Told you."
The Caucasian drunk guy looked up at him in shock and intimidation.
"What the hell…? What are you?"
The tan boy looked down at him in a glare. "Something you don't want to mess with. Next time you get in this guy's personal space without his consent again, I'll break more than your hand…using my hands that time. Now go!"
The Caucasian drunk human bolted instantly. Reid was surprised and touched. This guy did so much for him and they don't even know each other. Speaking of the tan guy, he turned to look over at him. Reid was in the water – water to his ankles – a few steps from him, but the tan boy closed the distance to where they were just four steps apart.
The tan boy smiled, and what a gorgeous smile it was. "Hey, hope that jerk didn't screw up your mood in meeting new people."
Reid smiled a bit shyly. "No, no I'm fine. Thank you…for helping me."
The tan boy seemed to love the other boy's body language, making him grin bigger.
"My pleasure. Can't stand unjustly acts, especially in my own town."
Reid perked at that. "So you live around here?"
The tan boy nodded. "Yeah, just a few yards that way," He said as he pointed in a direction behind them.
"I'm Jacob, by the way. Also go by Jake"
Reid seemed pleased to hear his name. "Nice to meet you, Jacob, I'm Reid."
"Nice to meet you too,"
Reid could sense this guy was a wolf too. He suspected as much when he didn't get fazed by that punch earlier. He's not gonna bring the whole wolf thing up right away, though, since he wants to know other things about him first.
"Mind if I hang around for a bit?" Jacob asked.
That made Reid happy since he's liking this guy a lot. "No, definitely not."
Jacob chuckled at such a sure response and joined him in the water along the shoreline, closing the distance between them once again, them now right next to each other entering each other's personal space. They kneeled and looked in the water, spotting shells, showing each other what they came across.
Reid found a spear-like one that was dark orange with white spots while Jacob found one similar but it had swirls and a fanned out part near one end. It was orange as well, but with some dark brown and one white line along the outline of the fanned out section.
"Wow, the one you have is cool." Reid said.
"Same with yours, looks really beautiful…..just like something else I know," Jacob said the last sentence softly.
With them being wolves, though, Reid heard loud and clear. He noticed Jacob looked at him – with no eye contact – for a few seconds when he said the last thing. That got him wishfully thinking. Was he talking about him? At the thought of that and what it would mean got him blushing. Jacob noticed his flushed face and began smirking.
"What are you thinking about?" Jacob asked.
Reid blushed even more at being noticed in such a dreamy state. "N-nothing, nothing. Some pretty cool shells on this beach, huh?"
Jacob laughed. "Yeah. Have you ever gone starfish gazing?"
Reid looked at him curiously. "Star FISH gazing? No, sounds cool."
Jacob grinned. "It is. It's really interesting seeing all the kinds there are and what colors they can come in. I should take you to do that sometime. Would you want to do that?"
"Yes, seems like fun. I'm new here and would love to be more familiar with what the area offers."
Jacob was interested at hearing that. "New? Great! Then I can show you around."
Reid smiled. "I wouldn't mind that."
A phone rang then. It didn't sound like Reid's, so he knew it was Jacob's. They stood and walked away from the water as Jacob took the call. When he hung up a couple minutes later, he looked disappointed.
"I have to go help my dad move something. Wanna hang some more after?" Jacob asked.
Reid smiled overjoyed he wanted to keep spending time with him.
"Yeah."
Jacob smiled wide. "Good. Catch ya later then."
"Mm-hmm, later," said Reid as he watched Jacob leave the beach.
Once he was gone and clear outta earshot by wolf standards, Reid pulsed with joy.
"Oh my god, he is so hot." He then began to walk home to wait for his hunk of a wolf to come back to him. He'd say his moving day just got better, much better.
