Surf & Turf

Chapter one

We'd all done it, been out together and seen some girl, perfect everything and a killer smile. We'd play rock paper scissors to see who'd try and imprint on her first of course usually these occurrences came about after large quantities of alcohol, it took a lot to get a wolf drunk.

One year out of nowhere someone decided to host a music festival on first beech, usually the council elder's deterred stuff like this from going ahead, it brought in too many tourists and with that amount of people about the place it put the tribes secret in danger. But the festival's management had fallen in love with the beach and made a generous donation to the reservation one we couldn't really say no to. there was one big stage on the beach and two smaller ones, one in the parking lot and another in a local bar about a minuets walk from the beach, myself and a few of the other younger wolves were in there drinking when the closing act came on.

A lot of kids from Forks and the surrounding towns had come out and by this time the crowd was wild and a little rowdy. I was sat in the far corner in one of the booths the wolf pack had commandeered as there own for the night. Seth, Embry, Colin, Kai and Trey were sat with me. the music started and we all looked up there was a woman and three other men on the stage, she was beautiful the rest of the single wolves at the table started talking about how hot she was but this girl was way more than hot, even Embry a married wolf let out a little whistle in appreciation of her curves, Kai and Trey instantly turned to each other and started bickering over who got to put the moves on her first, Collin leant across the table insisting it was his turn and Seth just laughed telling the other pups if they didn't cool it he was gonna walk over there and look her in the eye before they even noticed he was gone. I wasn't listening to their arguing anymore she'd opened her mouth and was singing, her voice has quite husky like she smoked forty a day and sexy as hell.

She reached behind her and yanked her hair tie out shaking her mane of messy curls free, too much saliva gathered in my mouth. Lyrics I didn't recognise tumbled out of her fire engine red lips, I didn't recognise the song and I was pretty into music maybe she was singing her own song a lot of the bands that had performed today had done original music as well as covers. It was pretty loud in here and the crowd was a mixture of drunken men whistling and cat calling her and teenage girls squealing and jumping up and down on the wooden floor.

The gorgeous woman on stage was singing something about being addicted to someone and keeping the sex with them fresh it isn't till the chorus comes around again that I realise why the crotch of my jeans is starting to feel tight. She sings the chorus again and I hear the words this time. "I'm so addicted to all the things you do when you're going down on me in-between the sheets" she sings completely owning the stage and captivating the audience, instantly my head gets carried away with it's self and all I can picture is my head in-between her thighs surrounded by soft white sheets. Jesus what is wrong with me I don't even know this girl, I shake the thought away and try and concentrate on what she's singing now. "Or the sound you make with every breath you take it's not like anything when you're loving me"

Collin, Kai and Trey are getting up from the table and hurrying over to the front of the crowd trying to push their way in front of each other desperate to look her in the eye and bag a hot imprint, I glance at Seth and Embry they haven't made any effort to move, I guess Embry's already in love and Seth is just too laid back to really care, he's a firm believer that he'll imprint when he's supposed to, and as for Embry if his wife Leah ever found out he'd even looked at another woman she'd probably neuter him, Auntie Lee was one fierce lady you didn't mess with her.

I called Leah my auntie although it had never occurred to me to call Seth uncle Seth our relationship was just never like that even when I was a kid, Auntie lee and I were close since I was young though. Leah and Seth were vaguely related to my dad somehow but Seth and I were like friends not uncle and nephew.

My father was Jacob Black and the alpha of my pack so I was half werewolf half hybrid although other than running a little cooler than the rest of the wolves and being twice as fast as any of them I didn't have any vampire traits from my mother Ness Cullen. Unlike my little sister Willow who was more hybrid than wolf in her she was so psychic she had to meditate for hours a day to keep her power under control if she didn't she got terrible headaches that she gave to everyone in a ten mile radius and if she got upset of angry the weather got bad and the ground shook like crazy any one who got near her when she was like that just passed out before they could even touch her she had so much raw power sometimes I couldn't fathom it. My poor sister couldn't spend a lot of time in public because of this but she had her imprint Brady who barley left her side and as long as he was there she was never unhappy. Her only wolf traits were her hot skin, Great grandpa Carlisle thought that female wolf/hybrid babies like Willow were closer to hybrids and males like me took on more of the wolf genes. It was a sound theory but considering we were probably the only two in existence there was no way to prove it.

I can't help myself I get up and follow after my pack brothers. The band and the beautiful girl whose name I wish I knew had moved onto there second song she was doing the greatest cover of American Woman by Lenny Kravitz I'd ever heard and I was biased I actually really liked the guy. I catch up with the others halfway to the front and get a good look at her dark brown almost black curly hair with some platinum blonde curls in there too. Chocolate brown eyes and black lashes, full pouty little red lips. Perfect hourglass figure she was the kind of woman that had ample breasts a small frame and deliciously curvy hips you know a real woman not some twiglet you see on billboards and in glossy girly magazines. she was wearing skin tight leather trousers, high heeled ankle boots and a sweat soaked AC/DC t shirt that was at least three sizes too big for her and hung off of one of her shoulders.

By this time she's into the third song of her set, the beat is steady but fast, she swings and circles her hips bending and suspending suggestively sticking her perfectly rounded little ass out, she locks eyes with me in the crowd and winks at me, I only just register that she even winked at me because in the same second my whole world stops, everything disappears nobody has to tell me I already know what just happened, I just imprinted on the sexy rock goddess on the stage. I guess the other guys were too distracted by the music and the crowd to notice what had just happened. Her voice brought me back down to earth and back to reality, I focused my attention back on her and realised she was looking at me and only me, she was singing at me... no to me. "Don't hold back you know I want it bad Whoa oh oh I can't say no I lose control because of you I'm like an animal" she sings to me, her eyes sparkling and a sexy smirk on those red lips.

Her band finished off with a cover of Anyway you want it by Journey after an original song about not trusting angels the main lyric that stuck with me from that song went Angel you mean nothing to me, Halo you mean nothing to me, I wondered if she'd written these songs herself if she had she was good, her band was really good and she was amazing, when they were finished they got the loudest response from the crowd louder than any of the other performers had gotten put it that way. She thanked us and bowed.

"Thanks everybody give it up for Ethan on drums!" she shouted and the crowd did exactly what she commanded, the drummer rose his sticks in the air revelling in the applause "Dane on rhythm!" she cheered, the crowd whooped and every girl in the audience swooned and sighed. "On Bass, Dax!" the crowd let them have it again and I waited with baited breath for her to introduce herself "you have been incredible we have been 'third rib and up' Goodnight La Push!" She yelled and the crowd exploded in a round of cheers and she and the rest of the band climbed off the back off the makeshift stage that's where I lost her in the darkness and hordes of people.

I tried to pick out her scent from the cacophony that was currently assaulting my nose; I cursed myself for getting slightly drunk and lessening my senses. I finally caught the scent of fresh oranges and ginger I knew in a heartbeat that it was my imprint, I hated that I still didn't even know her name I had to find her I had to talk to her I just had to. I tracked her through the still crowded bar to the parking lot at the back of the bar where her scent just stopped and disappeared. I knew it was because she'd got into a car I was devastated, I was heart broken what if I never saw my imprint again. I heard footsteps and realised Seth was stood behind me. "Hey Duck what wrong" Seth asks offering me a small smile, Everybody called me duck, it was a nickname for Riddoc only my parents called me that everyone else even my sister and all my other relatives called me Duck.

It started when I was just a kid and I guess it just stuck. I didn't particularly like my nickname but I'd had it for years now there wasn't really much I could do about it.

"I imprinted" I whispered still staring at the tarmac.

"That's great, so why do you look like some trapped your tail in a door?" he laughs then his smile fades when he sees I'm not laughing. "Riddoc?"

"I lost her; she got in a car and..." I trail off unable to form any more words.

"Well I'll help you find her, come and phase and show me her scent so we can track her together" he says and pats me on my shoulder "Duck come on we'll find her" he reassures me but I know it's hopeless I can feel the imprint and I can feel how far away she is. Seth wraps his arm around my shoulders and pulls me in the direction of the tree line. Embry, Colin and Trey catch up with us and as soon as I phase I feel Auntie Lee and my Dad already phased.

Jake: Riddoc?

I hear Dad's concerned voice in my head, I know my pain and worry is radiating off of me for the whole pack to feel but I can't stop it no matter how hard I try to push it down.

Leah: Oh my god Duck you imprinted!

Auntie Lee gushes then quickly gets a hold of herself remembering half the pack is phased and listening to this conversation and turns back into the tough bitch we all love

Leah: I heard that!

I can feel her smirking.

Jake: Don't worry Riddoc, imprinting is fate you'll meet her again because she's meant for you.

Embry: Yeah that's how it works.

The pack spends the next hour or so trying to convince me to be patient but when nobody can turn anything up on her and with no idea where she is or even what her name is I'm not exactly filled with hope. I guess Dad picked up on this and left Leah in charge and took me home, the second I stepped in the door my Mom appeared out of nowhere and enveloped me in a big hug.

"It'll be ok baby you'll find her, Willow showed me everything she's stunning and so talented" Mom cried, she's so emotional sometimes, Dad prized her off of me and gave me an apologetic smile. Mom can barley handle watching the six o'clock news without tearing up.

Of course Willow had seen everything and told mom, her abilities were a mixture of Grandpa Edward's and his sister Alice's along with the offensive psychic abilities she possessed like the weather and element control. I mumbled to my Dad that I was going to my room and he nodded while Mom calmed down her face buried in his chest. I collapsed face first onto my bed and didn't move for the next twenty four hours
