A/n: Happy Thanksgiving! So here it is! Please read the A/N at the bottom!

CHAPTER 1: Aaron BPOV

"NO EDWARD, DONT LEAVE ME!" I pleaded at my hallucination of Edward in my dream. I knew it was stupid that I was yelling at him to stay. I didn't want him! I have had this dream so many times it just made me sick when I thought that I actually wanted him to stay. "I don't want you, It will be as if I never existed" His voice whispered around the trees as he started to fade off like he always did. But then a tiger appeared at my side. A smile grew across my face "Mate" I whispered and It carried of into the wind. My hand reached to touch his soft fur, but then everything started to fade to black. Then something changed In front of me was a woman with red piercing eyes, I knew her it was Victoria She had been hassling me for 4 years now. She lunged at me.

I sat up so quickly I felt a bit dizzy. "What the fuck?" I whispered, aware of the sleeping person next to me. I glanced at the clock to see that it was only 3 AM. I had a shining coat of sweat all over my body, so I decided it would be a good idea to take a cool shower.

I showered, and then put on some clean, comfortable clothes and crawled back under the covers. I soon fell asleep again, only to wake up to the sun shining on my face and a warm hand grazing over my hip.

I felt his body becoming flushed against my back. Heat radiated around and through me. The warm hand roamed my body, and as it did I felt a steel hardness against ass. I growled slightly and I gridded my ass back towards his erection, and in return I got a mixture of a growl and a purr, and I returned with a small purr of excitement.

I felt a warm kiss behind my ear. "Good Morning Sweetheart" his warm, thick voice whispered in my ear. I just purred in response.

"What time is it?" I mumbled through the purrs still coming from my chest.

"7:48" Aaron said. His hand was still gently touching and moving around my side, making hypnotic movements. "Do you wanna take a shower before we leave?"

"Already did" I hummed.

"The dream again?" He asked gently continuing the movements of his hand up and down my side.

I turned around to face him "Yes, but this time Victoria made an appearance"

"Oh" was his terse response, but the look in his eyes said differently.

"How about you go take that shower, and I'll go make breakfast. I'm sure the others are starting to wake up and would enjoy something to eat." I said

He scanned my eyes and nodded, proceeding to quickly kiss me then got up and enter our bathroom.

I turned on to my back trying to work out why Victoria was in my dream last night. My dreams as of late usually have a meaning to them. I have yet to figure out why Edward was back in them but I couldn't wait for him to leave my mind again.

I slowly got up and began to head down stairs. It seemed like no one was up yet.

I sighed in contentment as I started breakfast. It's been 5 years since I lost the one person I thought was the most important to me. 5 years since I lost not only my lover, but also my family.

5 years ago the Cullen's left. It was the worst pain I had ever felt. I had lost my other half and my other family. Looking back, I guess that was what I thought it was. Then Jacob came around and started to put me back together, but that only lasted for so long. Eventually he left me also. The depression that I had before came back tenfold. That's when I started failing my senior year. By that point, Charlie had pretty much given up hope that I would ever see reason. He started working overtime. He was never home and put all his energy in to work. But that ultimately led to his death. He was shot and killed on duty. He left me everything. Then Renee decided to come visit me and died on her way here due to a car crash. Phil was angry with me and we no longer spoke.

I was broken, so I decided to wander around the woods looking for our meadow. I was desperate for something, for anything. At this point I felt like I was an emotionless monster. I didn't even cry when I was told of Charlie's death. And I was literally dragged to Renee's Funeral by Phil (and that was the only time he ever willingly had contact with me.) I thought maybe if I found my place, I could maybe move on. I was still doubtful though.

When I stepped into the meadow, I was saddened to realize I felt nothing. That is, until I saw a figure emerge from the tree line across the meadow. My heartbeat sped up and my hopes rose, but then quickly sunk when I realized it was not who I wanted to see. Instead of any of the Cullens, it was Laurent. His eyes were pitch black. I knew that death stood in front of me, but I couldn't really care. I welcomed it with open arms.

But before he had the chance to attack me, a pair of black and white blurs flew past me and tore Laurent apart right in front of me.

"Ma'am" I heard a thick southern accent from behind me. I turned to see a man in only shorts. He had a perfectly sculpted body. I felt a twinge in my heart and I was filled with love. I was so overwhelmed with these sudden emotions that I started to silently cry and tears began streaming down my face.

"Mate" I heard him whisper lightly.

In those weeks after Laurent's death, I became a brand new me. I fell in love with Aaron, my savior. I also became a tiger. You see, Aaron is the leader of a clan of shape-shifting tigers, the same ones that saved me from Laurent. Samantha and Chris are the two black and white tigers that saved me, and Collin and Chloe are two pure white tigers. Aaron and I are golden tigers. Along with the adjusting to these changes, I also went back and finished my senior year. In the beginning, Aaron was always with me because our recent mating required that we always had some sort of contact. Not long after Aaron came into town, Ben shifted (meaning he had a gene that was activated by the clan coming in to town) and mated with Angela. They were both Siberian tigers. And as of recently, we have been attending Peninsula Community College because there is an extension site in Forks.

A lot has happened in these last 5 years. I also found out about what happened with Jacob. Apparently, he was part of a pack of shape-shifting wolves, and as soon as I became Aaron's mate and the beta of our clan, Jacob took over being the Alpha of his pack, making the old alpha his beta. The pack and our clan hated each other. The clan is not on very good terms with the pack, because we constantly get in fights with them. But honestly, they try to provoke us.

"Iz, are you ok" I jumped, being brought out of my reminiscing. I turned around to face the doorway, only to see Aaron looking at me with worried eyes.

"I am fine" I spoke with a smile on my face. I turned off the stove, dished up Aaron and myself some eggs on a plate, leaving the rest in the pan for the rest of the clan when they awoke.

Although I was feeling really good and happy about life, I had a feeling that something was going to change all that, and very soon.

A/n: So?... What do you think? So I think I will be putting up weekly updates (On Fridays) I have an amazing beta who also happens to be my Cousin! We both hope you enjoyed this and I will be posting the next chapter by next Friday!
