Chapter 1

Kimi POV

"No, I hate you! It's not fair! I never get to have friends over anymore, but yet his friends might as well live here!" I screamed from up the stairs as I ran to my room.

"Kimi Nicole! Don't you dare yell at me! I raised you better than to yell at your mother!" Allison scolded from the bottom of the stairs.

Yet, another friday that I couldn't have a friend over and I couldn't go anywhere. It just was not fair. I was sixteen, but my mother treated me like I was ten. Oh, but my brother Sam, got to do whatever he wanted and whenever he wanted just because he worked for our Tribal Council. No one even knew what he did for them, all I knew was everyone thought he was the leader a gang.

Sam used to be so cool to hang out with, and I loved his girlfriend Leah. We all thought that they were going to get married one day. All that changed when he took off for two weeks about a year ago and went who knows where. He didn't tell anyone he was even going. Did he get into trouble when he got home? Hell no, he got a fucking job. Just like that.

Then, he broke Leah's heart and I wanted to scream at him. He left her for her snobby cousin Emily. He kept telling me that 'I just don't understand', 'I was too young', 'it was love at first sight'. I'm calling bullshit. He had seen Emily lots of times before all this. But whatever.

And don't get me started on my brother's new friends. Now, that he worked for the council, he became friends with Jared Cameron and Paul Lahote. Jared was hot as hell, but I couldn't stand Paul. He was known around the Rez as a major playboy. He thought he was "The Spirit's Gift to Women." Ha! Don't make me laugh. Plus he never would look me in the face. I thought I had finally got Jared to notice me the other day until he brought his new girlfriend over last night. Her name was Kim. UGH. Will I ever win?

Tonight, I wanted my friend Bella to come stay the night, but no. Jacob Black and I had been friends for a few years, when Bella came back to live with her dad, I met her at a bonfire. Yeah she may be a couple years older than Jake and I, but I don't care. She is the only friend I have anymore. Sam says she is bad news, so our mother Allison said no. All I wanted to do was try and help her get over her breakup, with that stupid boyfriend who just left her in the woods. Just left her there. Sam and the guys found her, she was close to having hypothermia. Jacob and I were over at her house with her Dad, when Sam carried her out of the woods. We were all scared for her life. She hasn't been herself since, and that was a few weeks ago.

"Kimi! Come here please," Allison called, from the Kitchen.

"Coming!" Let me guess, I'm in trouble again for my attitude."UGH."

As I walked down the stairs, I could see that once again Paul was here. He was in the living room playing those stupid video games. I had to do a double take when I realized he was only wearing a pair of shorts. And, was that a tattoo?

"Oww-" Dammit, I wasn't watching where I was going and walked right into Sam.

"Watch what you're doing Sam!" I yelled

"Me? I haven't moved since you stepped off the stairs, maybe you should stop staring at Paul and watch where you are walking little sis."

"UGH! Don't call me that, you know I hate it. And I wasn't staring!"

"Kimi! Stop yelling at your brother and come here."

As I walked past Sam, I heard him and Paul start laughing. I hate brother's and their friends. I walked into the kitchen and saw Emily. Oh great, what kind of torture am I getting now?

"Emily has come over to hang out with you for a bit while I work the late shift. Is that okay with you?" My mother said ever so sweetly.

"Hey Kimi, I thought maybe we could have a girls night, get to know each other better," said Emily.

You have got to be kidding me. "I don't need a babysitter, Mom."

"You are right, you don't, but we figured you wouldn't want to stay here by yourself. Sam won't be here, he has something to do for the Elders," Emily said, extra bubbly then normal.

"She is right Kimi. I know you don't like being here alone. Emily is just trying to help and be sisterly."

"I don't need a damn sister. I don't need a new friend. I have a friend, but someone thinks she is bad news so I can't see her. I had someone I saw as a sister and 'Miss Bubbles' over here chased her off!" I could feel my face getting red from anger.

"KIMI! That is, enough! I will not sit here and listen to you talk bad about my fiancée like that!" Sam yelled, as he grabbed my arm and spun me around so I was facing him. I had never seen him so mad before. His face was red, and his hand felt like it was on fire. He looked like he was shaking. I didn't care. I was pissed. "Your what?! Your fiancée? Are you fucking kidding me?"

The next thing I knew, Emily was in front of Sam trying to calm him down and Paul was pulling me away with my back pulled into his chest. Gosh Paul's body was warm. And I could feel an electric current running down my back and arms. My anger must have really gotten to me. Emily had her hand on Sam's chest and that's when I noticed her ring. "You have got to be kidding me, you gave her Grandma's ring. That was supposed to be Leah's!"

"Sam get outside man!" Paul yelled, as he started pushing me behind him.

All hell broke lose. I was picked up and thrown over someone's shoulder, and carried up the stairs. Leaving the kitchen, I saw this shimmer and then where Sam was standing there was a huge Black Wolf. I mean it was huge, like the size of a horse. Emily and my mom were on the ground, Paul was on his knees trying to help them. Blood was everywhere.

Once up the stairs and in my room, I'm dropped on my bed, It's then that recognized Jared as my savior.
