Chapter One

(The pack in wolf form, hunting around for the smell Collin smelled earlier on patrol.)

***Jacobs POV***

"I swear it was around here..." Collin tried to convince us.

"Yeah so anyway, I've been around Alice lately trying to finish that project. She mentioned that there's going to be another member joining." I told the rest.

Embry` s ears perked up. "I thought everybody changed already..."

I shook my head "Guess not...OH! Even better! Its a girl!" I said sarcastically.

Leah tackled me and rushed her thoughts at me "WHO IS IT!"

I smiled and let my tongue hang out not answering her.

She bit my throat and slowly tightened.

"Fine fine fine...she said she didn't know." I smiled even wider when she sighed and got off.

"What time is it?" Embry asked.

"Shit, time for school..." Collin said nudging me and Embry.

Embry ran and phased, pulling on his shorts and running towards his house.
Collin had his clothes ready.

When we finally got to school we had more than enough time to spare to get to class.

Ashley, enough said. Her hair, worn halfway down her back brown had a tinge of auburn. Pretty, with a good figure. You can say she has some nice breast. I won't even mention her ass that she held in her tight jeans, flat and to my liking.

She was off limits because she was Alice Cullen's step daughter, also Embry's mate. He imprinted with her, so guys code goes, his territory. She jumped of the motorcycle straddling her best 'friend' Root. He was an okay guy, a vampire, and would kill you if you got to close to the wrong side. With a few piercings on his face he smiled and watched her walk over to us.

Embry hugged Ashley as she smiles at him. I scoffed causing Embry to hear me. He turned around to glare. She knew about us but she still was afraid to be around the violence of the pack.

Embry was at least 2 heads taller than her. He leaned down and kissed her cheek as they walked off to class.

"She knows way too much, getting too close and everything. I wish you would get to know her then just fantasizing about her freaking boobs." As Collin stalks away with the couple, grumbling something about straight guys and their fascination with women's breast.

Collin was gay and also Ashley's cousins in some way, shape, or form. He never tells us anything about Ashley's past. He always says to 'leave it in the past.'

I smiled at Root sarcastically and he smiled, showing a hint of his fangs. A reminder that if I was to hurt Ashley, something was going to happen. Ashley and Root are truly and innocently close, almost like my relationship with the pack, but lovingly. They rarely fought with each other.

As I entered my first class, I saw the only seat open, next to Ashley. I smiled at how perfect the timing was.

As I sat next to her, she moved over and changed her position to that she wasn't looking at me but instead at the piece of paper in her notebook in which she was drawing on. Ashley drew a lot, and pretty good at it. She couldn't conquer it, but if she pushed herself she could. She drew a girl this time, pretty normal.

She pulled her hair behind on of her ears, which was full of metal, a complete turn off. I turned to the front of the room and tried not to look over at her. The sleeve of her shirt crawled up and revealed a bruise.

"Hey what's this?" I ask, lightly touching the bruise.

She pulled her sleeve down and said "Nothing, don't talk to me."

I chuckled "and why's that, sunshine?"

She frowned and I said "I'm guessing Embry doesn't know about it?"

She sucked in a breath "If you tell him, I'll say that you did it."

I decided to leave it at that, realizing class has started. After class she left throwing out the picture without looking back.

She was walked faster, not in the least noticing me trailing behind her. She was on her cell phone, speaking in another language. It sounded almost German. "Blatt, Aaron! ihnen sagen zu lassen! Ihr werde alles ruinieren!"

I smiled, finally getting some dirt on her. She pushed open the door exit and started to run towards the woods. Collin clamped his hand on my shoulder and I jumped.

He had a concerned look on his face. "What's the matter?"

I shook my head "I thought I saw something…"
