I skidded to a stop in the clearing just on the edge of the border. I sniffed, inhaling the burning, dead scent of vampire just over the border. Luckily, they were scents I recognized. No one new had stumbled into our territory.
Good, I thought to myself, last thing we need around here are more damn leeches. It's bad enough Jake had to go imprint on a half leech. Ugh!
Everyone else in both packs had imprinted, of course. Even Seth. He and Nikki were getting married in 4 months. I liked her, I really did. It's just that, well, shouldn't I be getting married first? I mean, I was the oldest sibling, of course.
I'd tried dating, I really had. But no one ever measured up. I always managed to find the most annoying traits in everyone. Like Chad. He was handsome, had a good job, and was smart, but when he ate, he always ended up with food stuck in his teeth. And who would want to kiss someone with food in their teeth? Not this girl.
