"And they both lived happily ever after." I concluded shutting the story book and kissing my small niece on the forehead. My twin sister, Rebecca stood at the door and smiled her pregnant belly sticking out and looking ready to pop. "You're better at that than I am." She observed and grinned before rubbing her stomach and moving out of my way as I stood up and walked with her to the living room in her small home in Hawaii. I had graduated a few days before from Washington State University and was staying with her for a few days before moving back to our hometown of La Push, Washington to take care of my Dad and younger brother, Jacob. Rebecca had moved here right after high school and met a surfer whom she got married to after two months and after being together for three years they had a cute little girl named Janelle and twins on the way. I didn't ever admit it but I was jealous of Rebecca and her small family. It had been rushed but she was happy and I wished I could have that sort of life. Becca had always been the outgoing twin, the one who had all the friends and rebelled. All the boys wanted her in school and I was the twin that sat to the side and was known as Rebecca's sister. I was the nerd who preferred to read in her spare time and who didn't ever really date anyone except for my first love in my Junior year who when we went to college moved across the country to Atlanta and broke my heart. He was a doctor and was married with two kids now. For the past two years I had thrown myself into my studies and graduated early and now I was twenty years old with a degree in medicine and nothing to show for it. I barely had any friends and my love life was so non-existent that I might as well have been a nun. I felt like I was stuck permanently in that awkward stage from middle school which was when my mother died in a devastating accident after my fourteenth birthday. Her death had hit me and Rebecca hard which was why becca moved so soon after high school and I drew in on myself. I guess it really was true that people had different ways of coping.
Rebecca and I talked for a while and then she retired to her art studio in the guest house, continuing our mother's profession. I couldn't stand to go in there because of all the memories the smells gave me and it still confused me as to why Rebecca did it. Granted she didn't paint like our mother, she used oils but it was still too similar for my taste. I cleaned up from dinner and then went to my small guest room above her studio to pack. I was leaving for La Push in the morning. After packing, I took my reading glasses off and pinched the bridge of my nose to get rid of my tension headache that was growing in my skull. Then I looked in the mirror and sighed as I fingered my long black hair. It was pin straight like my mother's and also like her I had dark russet skin and brown eyes. My frame was petite and I had always been short but not really what you could call ugly. In fact if I was being honest I was pretty in a way and even though Rebecca and I were identical I still would swear she was way prettier. I took a shower and as I was getting dressed and washing my face I heard Solomon walk in and say good-night to Becca. I cringed at the sound of them kissing and sighed again at what I would probably never experience. It made my heart pang to know I would probably live the rest of my life alone and only be successful in business.

I drug myself out of bed at eight and looked over to my left, groaning. A small blonde was next to me and I rolled my eyes knowing exactly what had taken place. The problem since I became a wolf was not only the heat but I couldn't get drunk anymore so I remembered all that happened with my girls from seattle. What was strange though was that I brought her to my house after. Usually I used a hotel but then I remembered it was because I had patrol and didn't want to miss out on my fun so I brought her back. Hopefully she was so wasted that she wouldn't remember if we came here or not. After getting dressed again I picked up the girl who was completely naked and dressed her before taking her to my truck and driving her to the small hotel in Port Angeles. The concierge already knew me and nodded me through while handing me a room key. I nodded my thanks and took the girl there before taking her phone from her purse and deleting my number and then leaving her a note that said I wasn't ready for commitment and that the bill was on me. Same old shit, different day. I paid as I left and said my byes to Freddy who worked at the desk and laughed at my disheveled state. Then, I gunned it all the way back to La Push and went straight to Sam Uley's house where he and his fiancée Emily lived. I was one of the first to phase along with Sam and my best friend Jared Thail and I hated it since it happened. I had been an angsty teen already with my mom ditching us and my dad being an alcoholic and then my younger sister running off with some guy. But when I phased I was even angrier and often referred to as hot-head because I was the easiest to provoke. It was usually Jacob Black who fought with me because he was as miserable as I was since his crush ran off with her leech. We had annoyed Sam pretty much 24/7 with our constant bickering until he ran off when he found out that Bella and the vampire were getting married. Most of the other guys just steered clear of me. We were all tall and I was reaching 6'7 with extravagant muscles and growth in more places than just one if you know what I mean. Those were the perks of being a guy who could morph into a huge animal. Also my hearing, sight, smell, and taste were heightened and I could run fast. I mean really really fast. Other than the small perks, it sucked. Especially now because we were going on patrol around the La Push borders. It was only me and Leah Clearwater today which wasn't so bad. Leah and I got along the best because we were both always bitter. We didn't admit it but we had a close relationship and yes I had hit that a few times. Can't blame a player only blame the game. If you need it spelled out for you, little Miss Cleawater and I were friends with benefits and when it was just us we didn't have to guard our thoughts. She still was under the impression that Sam gave a damn what we did in our spare time even though he had imprinted on Emily.
Speaking of imprinting, it's just another sucky part to being a shape-shifter. It has to do with finding your "soul-mate" your "other half" and all that fairytale bullshit. I was certain I would never imprint, I got bored to easily and if I ever did I probably would not be happy about it. I couldn't imagine what kind of girl would get me to settle down. At sixteen, I was everything a bachelor should be and now that my genes had made me look around twenty five, I was living the life of a full-blown Casanova. Complete with married woman and teenagers. It was heaven for a guy like me.
Leah and I phased and she caught onto my thoughts before coughing out a barking laugh. I growled at her now that we were in wolf form we could hear each other's thoughts which was about as helpful as it was annoying.
Lahote, you are an interesting boy. Leah sneered pushing to run faster than me.
You like it. I teased running to catch up and keeping my senses alert for any blood-suckers.
Jacob came back you know. For the wedding, rumor has it he almost started a fight. She informed me as she dug through my thoughts and I grinned at the thought of having someone to mess with again.
I think I might go say hello and welcome him back later. I decided and she just shook her muzzle and went silent as we ran well into late afternoon. I didn't take up on my joke to visit Jacob and I really didn't have to because Jared told me that the next day we were going to see him. Jared had known the Black's since he was a kid and according to him Jake's sister was coming back into town and he wanted to see her after so long of her not being here. I reluctantly agreed hoping she was hot so I'd have something to concentrate on while they reminisced. I never would have guessed that our visit would change my life forever.
So I know I gave up on Brady and Abbie and that's only because my reviewer was right, it was too predictable. I read through some twilight fanfics and noticed Rachel and Paul don't have too many stories so I am making this one and I'm really excited about it and the plot twists I have planned.
