Here it is, my sequel to Learning to trust. This is about the kids from the first story mostly. It is rated M and there will be lemons later on at some point and maybe some other darker issues, but I am not sure on that yet.
I do not own anything, I am not Stephanie Meyers. I did make up a few of the characters myself though.
"I'm still not sure about this Ness, are you sure the girls are ready for this?" Nessie looked at Jacob and then peered back at her kids. It was pointless for Jacob to whisper as everyone could hear him anyway. "Jayden, don't you dare smear that on your sister." "I wasn't going to do anything, why do you always assume everything is my fault? Besides it's not my fault she's back here moaing in her sleep again. Could you really blame me if I did do it?" Nessie gave her son a look that told him he knew better. "Besides, she's going to wake up in a few minutes and she's going to want to hunt. Are we close enough to run yet?"
"See Ness, we haven't even arrived and she needs to hunt already. Are you sure being in a more populated area is a good idea?" It was an excuse really, but although Jacob was partly glad to be returning home after so long, he was worried about somone imprinting on his daughters. It was almost inevetible and he pitied whoever it happened to be because not only did they have him to deal with him, but he knew the boys, esp. Jayden, would be a force to reckon with as well when it came to their sisters. They were all technically 17 now although the boys could pass for 21 and the girls probably could too if they really wanted to.
Jayden laughed at his fathers comment. "Her needing to hunt has nothing to do with being around people dad, it happenes almost every time she..." "Jayden, leave your sister alone." Jayden just laughed again and he must have said something to Rylee in his mind cause Rylee let out a small chuckle. Alyssa just sighed and continued to stare out the window as she had been doing.
Sure enough a few minutes later Elliana woke up with a start, taking in her surroundings and then groaning when she realized she was still in the car. "Aren't we there yet, we've been stuck in this car forever." "Just relax Elli, go back to sleep so you can dream about..." "Shut up Alyssa, god I can't wait to get out of this car." "Don't tell me to shut up, I can say whatever I want to you." "What were dreaming about Elli?" Jacob was curious although he wasn't sure he really wanted to know the answer. "I'll tell you daddy..." "NO! SHUT UP ALYSSA!" "That's enough girls! Nessie looked back at her daughters again and she could see why Jayden had said she would need to hunt. Her eyes were so dark they were almost black.
"Jake, since we're so close why don't you pull over and let her out to hunt, she'll be safe and she'll be on the rez in no time through the woods." Jake pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road. He knew exactly where they were and he knew she was right. "Do you have your phone Elli?" "Yes dad, I'll be fine anyway. If I get lost I'll just find the beach and wait there till someone finds me." "That's not funny Elli." Elli just huffed and threw her door open. "Love you both, I'll be fine, promise." Then she disappeared into the woods. Jacob turned to Jayden. "Jayden..." "I'm on it. I'll keep her safe." Then he was out of the car and gone too.
Jacob didn't know exactly why, but the girls, although they were twins, didn't have as good of a bond as the two boys did. Elli had actually gotten closer to her brothers, but especially Jayden. Jake would always send him to watch after her if she took off on them when she was mad or upset. "They'll be fine Jake, they'll find us, don't worry." Nessie pecked Jake's cheek and he looked toward the woods one last time before pulling away. "I hope you're right Ness, we didn't tell anyone we were coming yet and none of the kids know each other really. I can't help but worry."
Jayden followed his sister through the woods. He didn't really need to hunt but he found that whenever she was in one of these moods it seemed to help ease her if he hunted with her, even if she wouldn't admit it. "I know you're following me Jayden, you don't have to hide." With a small sigh Jayden jumped down from the tree he was currently in.
"Why don't just tell mom and dad about your dream Elli?" "Yeah cause daddy would just love to know I've been having dreams about a wolf right? You know he would only freak out over it and probably lock me in whatever house we end up in here." Jayden couldn't disagree with that. "You know I don't need you to protect me right? You can go explore if you want, I won't tell daddy." "I know you wouldn't, but I'm not going to leave you in unknown territory by yourself. C'mon, let's hunt. That is why you wanted to come out here right?" Elli just gave her brother a small grin. Then she took off again deeper into the woods. Jayden knew there had been something, other than the dream, going on with her for awhile now, he just didn't know what it was.
He caught up to her quickly and they both caught the scent at the same time. They both crouched and watched as they saw the deer a few feet ahead in a clearing. They launched their attacks at the same time, easily taking down their pray. After draining the first they each took down another. Jayden watched his sister as she drained her second deer. That was when he heard the voices. He knew his sister heard it too
They were right by tree line of the clearing and the voices were coming from behind them. They snapped thier heads around scanning the trees. They saw two boys that looked about Jaydens age emerging closer. When the two boys finally saw them hovering over the deer they had taken down, they stopped in their tracks. Jayden heard the growls they let out and he saw them shaking. "Shit. Elli get back now!" Elli wasn't afraid of the two boys but she did what her brother said anyway. She backed away a few feet and watched. The two boys phased into wolves but before they could move any further Jayden jumped from where he was and landed on all fours in front of them. He knew they would be confused by what he just did.
One of the wolves was a dark charcoal gray color and the other was the same but with a few lighter gray specks here and there. The two wolves growled at Jayden and he growled back as he heard their confusion. 'What the fuck? I thought he was a fucking leech, is that why we didn't smell him, how is that even possible?' 'I don't know man, but they were hunting on our land, I say we just rip em to shreds anyway, who cares what the fuck he is.' Jayden growled deep and low in his chest. He spoke in his thoughts to the wolves in front of him. 'If you touch her, I will rip you both apart myself.'
'What the fuck, how the hell can he hear us?' 'I don't care how he can hear were hunting on our land, that gives us the right to rip you both apart.' The darker wolf lunged at Jayden but Jayden easily used his paws and jaws to counter his attack. He threw the wolf back sending him crashing into a tree. Jayden let out a howl and then snarled at the other wolf still in front of him. The darker wolf got to his feet quickly growling back more fiercely now. 'Leave, now, while you still can!' Both boys couldn't believe what they heard in his tone. They both stepped back still growling, not sure what to make of it. They heard and felt the power radiating off of Jayden now. Jayden felt his sisters presence closer behind him now but he didn't turn to look at her. Elli looked at the two wolves as she came closer and their growling and snarling got louder. "Oh please, you don't scare me. We don't want to fight with you." Her tone was a little sarcastic. She stared at the darker wolf, almost mesmerized by him. He looked just like the wolf in her dreams and she wasn't sure what to make of that.
Although the darker wolf continued to growl he looked up at the girl. When he met her eyes he was shocked to see they were a chocolate brown and not the normal color of a leech. He stopped growling. 'What the fuck is going on here?' Was the thought that ran through his mind. For the briefest moment he couldn't move as he just stared. Then just as suddenly as he had stopped he snarled again loudly. He wanted to lunge at the wolf in front of him again but he couldn't. He could only move backwards and he heard the same worried thought in the speckled wolfs mind.
'Who the hell are you?' 'Oh now you decide to ask questions? I'm someone you don't want to mess with unless you want a nasty fight.' Jayden then heard another voice in his thoughts and he knew it was his brothers. 'Jayden, what's going on, are you alright, is Elli okay? We heard your howl and dad...' 'We're fine Ry, these two idiots were just leaving, weren't you boys, NOW!' The two wolves growled at Jayden but this time there was no mistaking the power laced in his voice. They could have ignored it since they had no idea who he was, but that was the exact reason they were choosing to leave. They backed away a few feet before turning and running into the woods. Rylee saw them in Jaydens thoughts and within minutes he was in the clearing where Jayden and Elli were.
Rylee phased back to his human form pulling on his shorts. When Jayden saw the two wolves were completely gone from sight he phased himself as Rylee threw him a pair of shorts to throw on. He immediately walked the few feet back to his sister who hadn't moved.
"Elli, are you alright?" Elli snapped out of whatever had caught her attention when she heard his voice. She looked toward Rylee then back at Jayden. "I'm fine, really." Jayden knew something was up but he knew she wouldn't tell him with Rylee there. He also knew they needed to leave before any other wolves showed up. "We need to get out of here now. I'm sure you're not the only one that heard my howl." "Dad's not going to be happy about this." "What was I suppose to do Ry, they wanted to shred us. I have no idea who they were." "Well they didn't know who you were either, but I'm sure after hearing that tone in your voice they'll run back to their alpha or their parents and someone will fill them in. Come on, I'll show where our new home is." Jayden took Ellis hand and ran with her after his brother.
He knew Rylee was probably right. Their father had made sure to inform his pack here the day both boys had phased. Jaydens phasing was a shock to everyone since he was half vampire. He remembered the day clearly. His brother had gotten into a fight at the school they attended, purley for experience purposes since the Cullens insisted on teaching the children themselves. His brother was so pissed off even after punching the daylights out of the asshole he was fighting with that he was shaking. Jayden had to drag him off the school grounds to get him away from the guy. He pulled out his phone as he dragged his brother toward the woods and called their father. He knew it was going to happen since their father had taught them both the signs. Not to mention the fact that Jayden had warned his father he should keep Rylee home for a few days, but his father didn't want them missing school and having to answer to the principal about the absences.
Jayden had thought they were safe once they got into the woods but the asshole that Rylee had been beating on was dumb enough to follow. Jayden tried to get the asshole to leave them alone but he kept lunging at Rylee and each time Rylee would throw him backwards or land a punch on his jaw. The last straw had been when the asshole made a comment about a getting into a girls pants that Rylee liked. Rylee threw the asshole backwards and he flew into a tree, slumping to the ground. As soon as he threw him he exploded into a ball of fur, pacing back and forth and growling. Their father appeared at that moment letting out a string of curses. He walked over to the guy Rylee had thrown and checked to make sure he was still alive. Luckily he was just unconcious. Then his father finally spoke to him. 'Can you get him to change back?' Jayden took a few steps away from his father watching the confusion on his fathers face. He took a few deep breaths and then he was on all fours, covered in fur. He had known all along that he could phase if he wanted to but he never let on to anyone else. His father looked confused but proud at the same time. It took him a few minutes but he finally got his twin to calm down enough to phase back.
After that their father had made calls to everyone in the pack to tell them that both of his boys had phased. That was about six months ago.
Jayden remembered visiting often when he was just a boy but once the girls were born they had only visited once or twice when they were still young. The only ones who came to visit them was his mothers best friend Ryan and occasionally his wife, who Jayden learned was also one of his fathers pack mates. Jayden knew they had a daughter, he remembered always wanting to be near her when he was younger, but he hadn't seen her since he was about 5. Whenever Ryan would visit he would usually only have his son with him, who was like his sisters. He had noticed, although he never mentioned it, that Elli seemed to bond with him in a way.
None of them knew anyone else on the rez and he knew that from what happened in the woods things were not going to be easy. He already had a bad feeling.
Sure enough, Jayden was right. They approched a house that was set back a little from the dirt road and surrounded by trees. Jayden saw someone talking to his father and two boys sitting off to the side. Twins from the looks of it. Jayden looked at his brother who just shrugged. He could hear the guy almost yelling at his father. "You should have given us a heads up Jake, he could have killed one of my boys." "Oh please Paul, he only has a tiny scratch on him and it's almost completely healed already. He wouldn't have attacked if he didn't feel threatened. Maybe you should teach your boys to ask questions before they just attack."
Jayden couldn't help the low growl that escaped him when he realized who the boys were. Everyone turned in their direction as they walked up to stand by their father. Jake pulled his daughter into his arms.
"Baby girl, are you alright?" "I'm fine dad, what's going on?" Elli stepped back after hugging her father. The other two boys glared at the three of them and came to stand next to the guy their father had been arguing with. The guy put his hand up to keep them at bay. Jayden heard the quiet growls they let out. Jake took a deep breathe. "Thats what I'm trying to figure out. Jayden, did you attack these boys?" Jayden half laughed and half growled. "I didn't attack them, they attacked us, and I would be more than happy to finish what they started but I figured you would be pissed if I did."
Jayden heard the guy let out a growl of his own. "Paul..you're not helping. Jayden, what happened exactly?" Jayden crossed his arms much like his father does and sighed. "These two idiots came upon Elli and I when we were hunting. They didn't bother to ask questions or I would have answered them. They phased first so I phased after to protect Elli. Of course they were confused but that didn't stop them from threatening to rip us to shreds. One of them lunged at me so I defended myself. That's when I howled. I told them to leave while they still could but then Elli here had to come closer and speak up. All she did was tell them she wasn't scared and we wouldn't hurt her." Jayden got a sly smile on his face. "Then one of them noticed that her eyes were brown and in his words, not the color of a normal leech. Of course that confused him even more and thats when he finally decided to ask who the hell we were. I told him someone he didn't want to mess with and then I heard Ry in my thoughts and I told the two idots again to leave. That's it."
Jake took another deep breath. Jayden noticed the other two boys were slightly shaking. "I told you he wouldn't have attacked unless he felt threatened Paul." Paul looked at Jake and then at his boys. "We're going to talk later. Apologize now." "What, but dad, they were hunting on our land, we had every right..." "Enough! Jacob and his family just moved back. He is the other alpha we have told you all about. These are his kids and you will be nice to them. Just like Bryce, Jayden and his sisters are allowed to hunt on the rez. Now apologize." The two boys both growled out a sorry at the same time.
Jake turned to his kids for a moment. "Just so you are all aware, this is Paul, he's Sam's beta and a good friend of mine. Those are his boys Mikah and Chayton. I expect you both to at least try and get along." Jake turned back to Paul then. "I am sorry I didn't warn you Paul, I was trying surprise everyone and I wasn't thinking I guess. How did you know it was my kids anyway?" Paul let out a small chuckle. "As soon as they ran into the yard and phased I asked them who howled. They said there was a mutant leech that turned into a wolf with another leech. Mikah said when the mutant leech told them to leave the last time his voice radiated with power, like an alpha." Jake let out a laugh of his own at that. "Yeah that's my boy. I really am sorry Paul." "Don't worry about it, I have a feeling we are going to have our hands full with them now. So where's Nessie anyway?" Jake nodded toward the house and Paul gave his boys a warning glare before following him to the house.
Once their parents were out of site, Jayden noticed that his sister Elli was watching Mikah. Jayden guessed by the way Mikah kept glaring at him that he was the one who had attacked him. Chayton sat back on the porch steps where he had been when they first approached. Elli walked up to stand beside Jayden.
"I told you we weren't a threat to you didn't I?" Elli was again being her smart ass self. Mikah flicked his gaze to her. He looked into the same chocolate brown eyes he had seen not long ago, this time there was no mistaking it. He felt so many emotions at once it was hard to determine one from the other. He was frozen in place where he stood. Elli gasped and then suddenly turned and ran off. Jayden let out a deep growl and Mikah finally snapped out of his trance. "Run. Now."
Mikah let out a string of curses not even bothering to argue with Jayden. He did turn and run off but not because Jayden told him too. Chayton sprang up from where he was sitting and took off after his brother.
Rylee gave a questioning look to his brother. He hadn't been paying too much attention but he had an idea of what happened. Jayden didn't speak outloud. Instead he sent the thought to his brother. 'Fucker imprinted. On Elli.' Jayden heard his brother curse and then he heard his fathers voice. "Jayden, what happened?" Damn, he must have heard him growl. 'NOT A WORD'. He sent the thought to Rylee.
"Why don't you ask them, they're the ones that ran off." "Jayden..." "I swear I didn't fucking do anything..." "Watch your mouth young man." Shit, he hadn't seen his mom come out. "Sorry mom." Jayden muttered before speaking to his father again. "I'm gonna go...catch up with Elli. Call if you need me. Ry, you coming?" Rylee just nodded and followed as his brother took off at a sprint.
'FUCK FUCK FUCK! GODAMN FUCKING LEECH!' That was the thought going through Mikah's head as he ran through the woods. He had phased as soon as he hit the trees off of the Black's property. He wanted to get as far away from them as possible. 'Mikah did you really just imp...' 'FUCK OFF CHAY!' 'Hey, it's not my fault you imprinted on a leech!' Mikah growled deeply and turned to lunge at his brother who was only a few feet behind him. Luckily Chay was quick enough to dodge him. 'I swear Mikah, if you attack me again I will tell mom and dad.' 'I didn't imprint and If you say one fucking word to them, or anyone, I will make sure you can't phase for at least a week! Got it?' Chay sighed in his thoughts. 'Whatever Mikah, but you know you did and you know what dad has always said about it. You're gonna have to deal with it sooner or later.' Mikah just growled again and started running again hoping to blow off the anger he was feeling.
Elli couldn't believe what had happened. She hadn't even been in this place a day and already someone imprinted on her. She didn't know what to do so she just ran. She found herself walking along a beach now. She plopped down in the sand and looked out at the water. Her life was messed up enough even though no one knew it. She didn't need to add this to her list of things. At least now she knew why she kept dreaming about a wolf. Mikah was the wolf she saw in her dreams. She didn't know if that was good or bad since her dreams tended to go both ways sometimes. The only person she had told about the dreams was Jayden, and she didn't always tell him what happened. He also knew about the guys back in Alaska that had thrown themselves at her. A few of them had tried to force her into things and she would have to use her strength to get get them off her and away from her. There were a couple times where Jayden had come upon her when someone had pushed her against a wall or a tree in the woods and saved her by pulling them off and punching them, warning them at the same time to stay away from her.
She had to beg him not to tell their parents. She didn't want them to worry about her and she didn't want them to pull her out of school either. She was glad that she could block her thoughts form her sister and grandfather if she really tried. She wanted a normal experience for once and going to school was one of the only ways she could do that. She was thankful that she had her brother to talk to since she felt so alone sometimes.
She thought it was odd since Alyssa was her twin but they just never seemed to bond like twins did. But then again she supposed that was partly because Alyssa was always trying to read her thoughts and get into her mind. That was part of Alyssa's gift. She could read someones mind if she wanted to. Luckily Elli had learned how to block her out. She didn't know if it was part of her own gift or just luck. The only real secret she wasn't sure if Jayden knew about was her friendship with Bryce. From the time she was physically 12, they started talking or texting on the phone as often as they could. She never told her parents that. She knew Jayden knew about some of the phone calls but not all. Over the last couple years he became almost more like a secret boyfriend. They had kissed a few times when Ryan had come to visit with him. She remembered the first time he kissed her.
She had just reached the physical age of somewhere between 15 and 16. Ryan and Bryce had been visiting and Bryce wanted to hunt. Elli volunteered to take him since her sister and the Cullens had recently hunted. Really she just wanted to spend some time with him. They ran hand in hand once they were far enough away from the house and he smirked mischieveously at her when they found their prey. She watched him as he drained his kill before taking down one of her own. When she finished she realized he wasn't in her sight. She ran the short distance to the trees scanning into the wilderness when she suddenly found herself tumbling to the ground. 'Gotcha'. Bryce had said as he laughed. He had her pinned playfully to the ground but when she looked up at into his ice blue eyes his laughter quickly died. His gaze seemed to go from playful to smoldering in a matter of seconds. The next thing she knew his lips brushed against hers. It was gentle and unsure at first, but as soon as she responded he deepened the kiss. She had moaned when she felt his tongue lightly carress hers and that was where the kiss ended. He brushed her lips one last time tenderly before he pulled back. They had just stared at each other for a long moment before he moved off of her and helped her up. Ever since that first time, whenever they would see each other they would sneak off together and share similiar kisses.
She was brought out of her thoughts suddenly when her brothers plopped down next to her in the sand, one on each side of her.
"Care to share?" Jayden nudged her with his shoulder. Elli looked at Jayden then at Rylee. She knew why he asked but she didn't always tell Rylee everything like she did Jayden. "He knows Elli. He was watching." Elli let out a sigh. "What about..." "We didn't tell them Elli. I knew you wouldn't want us too." Jayden tried to assure her. "Don't worry Elli, I won't tell them either." "Thanks Ry. I'm just not sure what to do. You didn't see how he acted towards us in the woods Ry. I didn't really want to be imprinted on especially by someone like that." "I won't let that asshole hurt you Elli. You don't have to go anywhere near him unless you want to. If he so much as looks at you wrong I'll kick his ass." "And I'll help him." Rylee added. Elli smiled at her two brothers. They may be trouble makers at times but they were always protective of her and her sister. "Thanks. Is dad mad that I ran off?" "Well, we didn't exactly tell him you ran off. We made it sound like you just decided to go for a run or something. We told him we were going to catch up with you."
Elli suddenly felt a shiver run over her. She looked back toward the trees. "Bryce" She barely whispered his name, knowing he was there but she realized too late that her brothers both heard her. "What, Elli did you just say Bryce?" "Uh...yeah...he's in the trees back there." She heard his light chuckle before he appeared on the beach, running over to where she sat with her brothers. Jayden stood up immediately to greet him as did Rylee.
"Hey Bryce.." "Hey guys, Elli, heard you were in town, when did you get here?" "Not too long ago. How did you hear we were here already?" Bryce laughed at that but Elli didn't miss the glances he kept giving her. She desperately wanted to have him wrap her in his arms but she couldn't do that in front of her brothers.
"Siana phased after we all heard the howl. When she got back she told us that Mikah and Chay had a run in with a leech who turned into a wolf that seemed to have the power of an alpha radiating off of him. She said he was hunting with another female. I knew it had to be you guys since Jake is the only other alpha and you are the only half vampire half wolf that I know. Man, you really freaked them out." Now it was Jaydens turn to laugh. "Serves them right for threatening me and Elli. How is your sister anyway?"
"They really threatened you guys? I'll kick their fucking asses..." Elli shot Bryce a look and luckily Jayden interuppted him so she didn't have to. "Don't worry about it, when we got home they were at our house with their father, Paul I guess, and I told dad what happened. We all sorta got lectured but them worse then us. But you didn't answer my question. How's your sister?" "Her usually bitchy self, you're welcome to go visit if you want." "Nah, you know she doesn't like me. It's why she stopped coming with you guys when you visited with your dad." "Yeah well, don't feel bad, I'm her brother and she can't stand me either. You know she doesn't particularly get along with our father either, even though he's always been so protective of her and shit. It's rediculous really. You would think growing up with a father who was half vampire and a brother who came along the same that she wouldn't have any prejudices but she's almost as bad as Mikah and Chay."
Jayden noticed that Elli seemed a little uneasy. He let his thoughts float to his brother and smiled when Rylee put his arm around their sister pulling her close to reassure her. Sometimes he loved that he could do that with his brother. "Don't worry Elli,I would never treat you like that. I'd kick anyones ass who dares to say something bad about you."
"Thanks Ry, love you too." Elli gave Bryce a small smile before she decided to break up their little party. "Dad's gonna start to worry if we don't get back. I'm surprised he hasn't come to find us yet. We should probably go." "She's right, he really will come looking for us since Elli is with us. It was good to see ya Bryce. Come by whenever you want to get away from your sister. Tell her I said hi though." Bryce laughed at Jayden. "Sure thing, I see ya guys later then." Jayden, Rylee and Elli walked off the beach into the woods toward their house. Elli glanced back at the tree line and saw Bryce watching them, or rather, watching her. She didn't miss the heated look in his eyes, even from the distance.
That night Elli went to the room that was now her new bedroom. She saw the huge closet and knew without even opening it that Alice already had it stocked with all kinds of clothes for her. She had a dresser and of course a decent sized bed. A night stand on each side. She went to the dresser and dug through the drawers until she found a pair of cotton capri pants and a cotton tank. She changed out of her clothes she was wearing and threw them on. She plopped on her bed laying on her back. She was glad she was able to have a room seperate from her sister. There was plenty of space if they ever did decide to share but for now she liked her privacy.
When they had got home they had all gotten a lecture about being gone without saying where they went. Dinner was fairly quiet although their father kept asking her if she was sure she was ok. Her father sometimes knew when she was hiding things and she wondered if he had any clue about the imprint. She didn't think Mikah would tell his parents since she didn't think he would be happy about it but she wasn't sure. Her father had also informed they that they would all be going to a bonfire on the beach tomorrow night and he wasn't leaving them a choice. She closed her eyes trying to clear her mind but it wasn't working. The only two things she could think about was the imprint and Bryce.
Elli felt a chill run over her body but it didn't last long. She suddenly felt like her body was engulfed in heat. The feelings she had were so intense she had no idea where they had come from. Then as if to answer her question she felt a pair hands carressing her body, a pair of lips crushed her own, kissing her with a desperate but tense hunger. Her body arched into the touch and then suddenly she was being thrown into a tree. She panicked trying to scramble to her feet only to be roughly thrown backwards again. She heard someone calling her own but she couldn't find the breathe to shout back to them. She was shaking.
"Elli, Elli come on, wake up. It's just a dream Elli." Elli shot up in her bed. She would have screamed had it not been for the hand that covered her mouth quickly. "Shhh, it's alright Elli, I've got you. Look at me." Elli opened her eyes and after just a second she saw Bryce sitting next to her on the edge of the bed. She flung her arms around him sobbing. "Shhhh, it was just a dream, it's alright." She stopped sobbing after just a minute and pulled back to look at him.
"What are you doing here, if my parents catch you they'll skin us alive." "I was only going to come to your window and have you come outside but I couldn't get your attention. I slid through the window and you started thrashing around on the bed. I couldn't very well leave you that way." Elli couldn't hold back the overwhelming emotions she felt right then. She crushed her lips to his and kissed him passionately. She was only half surprised when he responded instantly with the same passion. He pushed her back gently on the bed as they kissed so she was laying on her back. The upper half of his body covered hers gently. He slipped his tongue in her mouth to carress hers and she moaned into his mouth. She didn't know what had gotten into her but she ran her hands under his shirt along his muscled chest, lightly scratching her nails as she did. He deepened the kiss and moved his own hand up her side, pushing her tank up as he carressed her skin. She moved her hands to grab at his shoulders trying to bring him down closer to her but he broke their heated kiss then and rest his forehead against hers panting heavily.
He cupped her cheek in his palm. "I missed you so much Elli." His words were a panted whisper. "I missed you too, so why did you stop?" He could hear the doubt in her voice. "I shouldn't even be in here Elli. I'm surprised someone hasn't walked in on us already. I told you I was going to have come outside with me. You still can if you want, come outside I mean. Before someone catches us." Elli just nodded in response and quietly crawled off the bed slipping on her shoes. Bryce helped her quietly out the window, even though she didn't need help.
Bryce grabbed her hand and held it tightly. When they were a few feet away from the house Elli finally spoke again in a quiet voice. "Where are we going?" Bryce could her the worry in her voice. "Don't worry Elli, the wolves won't catch us, I know all their routes for patrols and how to avoid them." Elli thought about that for a moment. "Well, you don't know how to avoid all of them. My brothers are wolves too remember?" Bryce laughed softly at that. "Yeah I remember. I don't think they would rat on us though would they?" "I don't know really. They both seem to like you so I guess it would depend." Bryce suddenly pushed Elli against a tree and pressed his body against her. She was about to say something when he put a finger to her lips to silence her. He stood perfectly still and made sure she did the same. He was watching intently around the area in front of the tree he crushed her into. After few moments he eased off just slightly and she let out the breathe she had been holding. "Damn those two, always deviating from their damn routes. Sorry, I didn't want them to see us, but especially you." "Who?" "Mikah and Chay. They have a bad habit of deviating sometimes. Don't worry, they didn't see us." Elli let out a small gasp at hearing their names. Bryce hadn't even realized that he was rubbing her cheek with his thumb. "Are you alright?" She looked up at him and this time she saw the same heated gaze in his eyes from earlier that day.
She closed her eyes as he brushed her lips with his. The kiss was heated but soft at the same time. She responded to him parting her lips and letting him explore her mouth. She ran her hands under his shirt again as she had before this time causing his body to shudder under her touch. He ran one of his hands over the top of her thin tank. His hand cupped her breast and gently squeezed causing her to moan and arch into his touch. He kissed her harder letting his body press against hers. He left her lips and trailed kissed to her neck, suckling just below her ear. She moaned again and he suddenly felt her hand at the waist band of his pants. He grabbed her hands and brushed his lips back to hers one last time before pulling back.
"Whats going on Elli?" His words were whispered . She opened her eyes but wouldn't meet his gaze. She was still breathing hard. "N-nothings wrong." Bryce took a deep breathe to steady his own breathing. "Elli, don't lie to me. As far as I know you have never lied to me before. We have never done anything beyond kissing and just now..." Bryce wasn't exactly sure what he wanted to say but he knew this wasn't like her. He may not have seen her very often but they talked often enough that he knew something was up.
Elli was quiet for a moment before she spoke again. She didn't want to lie to him so she said the only thing she could, which wasn't a lie really. "I really missed you Bryce. When I saw you earlier today, I wanted nothing more than to be wrapped in your arms." Bryce knew that wasn't what was up but he also knew that it wasn't a lie either. He pulled her away from the tree and wrapped his arms around her holding her to him.
"I told you I missed you too Elli. C'mon, lets get out of here before those idiots decide to come back." Bryce stepped back and grabbed her hand again tugging her along. Elli was glad he didn't push her any further on what was wrong. She didn't know exactly what had gotten into her except that she wanted to be as close to him as possible. He was her best friend and the only guy that never tried to take advantage of her. Unlike her sister she had never had sex before and a part of her wanted Bryce to be her first. This was of course another secret she kept from her brothers as well.
Bryce tugged her along and didn't stop until they were on a cliff overlooking the beach and the water. The stars and moon were bright in the sky and it was truly beautiful. "It's beautiful up here. Are you sure no one will find us?" "I come up here all the time at night. I have never seen the wolves come patrol near here." Bryce sat on the ground and gently pulled her into his lap. She laid back against him and looked out at the water and the star filled sky as he wrapped his arms around her. She felt safe in his arms and she wondered why she felt that way with him when most of their time getting to know each other was on the phone. She felt Bryce tighten his grip around her and she snuggled against him further just enjoying the moment.
The next morning Elli woke up under the covers of her own bed. For a moment she thought that she had dreamt last night with Bryce. But as she opened her eyes and pulled herself up against her headboard she found that she wasn't alone. Jayden was sitting on the end of her bed.
