Next Chapter! . Please review! xx
So many different shades of green zoomed past my car window as I sped down the road, into the reservation. It the three years I had been away, nothing had changed. It seemed the same cracks and holes were in the middle of the road as I pulled down the road, I used to live down. I had brought a house close to the Black's house, as Jake was the only one who knew I was coming home. Along with Quil and Embry were the only people had stayed in contact with me.
A familiar whine echoed around the car and a wet, tongue licked the side of my face.
"Kodi" I chuckled, wiping the saliva off my face. "We will be there soon and then you can run around in the trees, I promise" I ran my fingers through Kodi's long, fluffy white fur and he retreated back into the comfort of the back seat.
Mum had brought me Kodi when we had first moved to England for some protection. Apparently he was a German Shepard mixed with a wolf, but the wolf genes over powered the German Shepard so he looked exactly like a wolf. Most people stared when they saw me walking him. At just two years old, not even fully grown yet, his head was level with my hip and he easily over powered me in any play fight we had. He was my best friend!
I pulled into the drive, infront of a familiar house that I had seen in many pictures back in England. As I slid out of the car, Kodi jumped on me, pushing me to the ground with him.
"Kodi" I complained, laughing softly as he licked my face.
There was a loud cough beside us as I fought Kodi, trying to push him off me. Kodi paused from attacking me to see who was disturbing us and then jumped off me. Once Kodi had moved, I could see a familiar, handsome face.
"Jake?" I asked curiously, still lying on my back with Kodi sitting protectively beside me.
Since I had left, just like Jared, Jake had gone through a change. He no longer had long black hair, it was now cropped. There were muscles covering every inch of his body, and a tribal tattoo on his shoulder. The only thing which remained the same was the large grin that was plastered on his face.
"Alright Lily? It is so good to see you again" Jake chuckled, grabbed my hand and pulling me up off the floor.
Kodi growled loudly as Jake got too close and Jake frowned down at him.
"Calm it Kodi. You can trust Jake" I laughed softly, patted Kodi on the head. He nuzzled his head into the side of my leg. Their eyes meant and for a few seconds they stared intently at each other. When Jake looked away, Kodi trotted over to his side, jumped up and licked his face.
"So now I have the acceptance of Kodi, can I help you with your bags now?" Jake asked, grinning widely down at me.
"Sure, give me a hug first" I ordered.
Jake chuckled, and pulled me into a bone crunching hug. I was an average five foot six, and I could only just peer over Jake's shoulder. He must have been atleast six feet three, if not bigger.
Over his shoulder, I saw a pair of equally big boys, both with massive grins on their faces. Kodi didn't growl at them but waited until I had given him the nod of approval until he allowed them to pass.
"So you have your own protector now Lil?" Quil beamed down at me.
I nodded and laughed softly as Quil and Embry pulled me into a tight hug.
"Yeah well since you guys were busy protecting La Push someone had to look after me" I said, smirking up at the boys.
They frowned down at me in confusion.
"You know what we are?" Embry asked curiously.
I nodded and they exchanged nervous gazes. Jake turned away from me and began mumbling something to Quil and Embry.
I pulled my new house keys out of my pocket and unlocked the front door. I had already arranged for all my furniture to be moved from England back to La Push, so the house was already full. I still needed to move something's about and add my own special touches but hopefully it would feel like home soon.
"Kodi" I whistled loudly.
Kodi came sprinting into the house behind me, closely followed by the three boys who were carrying my suitcases.
"Thanks but I could have done that" I smiled softly up at them as they dropped my bags onto the floor by the stairs.
"No problem" Jake grinned down at me, a little more relaxed.
I scanned the pile of bags and found the one I was looking for. It was a bag of food and drinks that I knew I would want. I unloaded most of it into the fridge except a bunch of coke cans.
"Help yourself" I shouted to the boys who were now lounging in the sitting room, play fighting with Kodi. "I will be back in a minute"
I dragged my suitcases upstairs and began unpacking some of my clothes into my dresses.
The house was fairly small but had the same layout as my old house in La Push so I knew where every room was. I had the bigger of the two bedrooms, the other was a guest room already prepared for any unsuspected arrivals.
I got changed into a pair of baggy grey tracksuit bottoms and a white tank top. Spending several days in tight skinny jeans meant I was very relieved to be in my new home so I could now wear comfortable lazy clothes.
When I strolled into the sitting room, Jake had already found the remote control for the large flat screen TV and the boys were staring at a close football game. I fell onto a spare chair, beside the three boys who were crowded on my large couch and Kodi jumped up and sat beside me.
"Thanks for the drink" Quil beamed over at me.
I nodded and grinned back. "No problem. Do you want anything to eat? I am sure I could make some sandwiches from the stuff I have in my bag" I asked.
Suddenly all three boys were grinning at me, with wide excited eyes.
"If you don't mind" Embry said.
I shrugged my shoulders and pushed up off the chair.
In my fridge I found a packet of bacon and some eggs. There was a loaf of bread on the counter, so I began buttering the slices as I fried the bacon and eggs using my new cooker. I had paid a local company to fit a new kitchen in the house as the old one in the pictures looked a little run down.
When there was a large pile of sandwiches in the middle of the dining table, Kodi led the three boys into the kitchen.
"We are never going to leave now that you have fed us" Jake chuckled, watching as Quil and Embry began pilling sandwiches into their mouths.
"I don't mind. You guys are good company" I admitted.
"Aww we have always liked you Lily. Why did you have to move to England? We could have been eating your amazing cooking for the last three years" Quil mumbled.
"Well I better make up for lost time" I grinned over at him.
All three boys nodded in agreement.
"Kodi stop attacking Quil" I laughed softly, watching as Kodi jumped up and pulled the slice of bacon out of Quil's sandwich.
Jake and Embry burst into laughter as Quil growled at Kodi and Kodi growled back just as loudly.
"Kodi" I warned him.
Kodi looked away from Quil instantly and moved to my side.
"Good boy" I chuckled, dropping some left of bacon into his mouth.
"It seems we have another pack member" Embry murmured.
Jake and Quil laughed softly.
"So who told you about the pack?" Quil asked curiously.
"Who do you think?" I muttered quietly.
I hadn't spoken to or wanted to think about Jared in years. I had however begun talking to Kim again when I started university. She was the person I spent nights crying to on the phone when my mum died, so I forgave her. I guessed it wasn't Jared's fault he turned into a giant wolf which made him fall in love with my best friend, it would probably have happened anyway.
"Oh" Jake moaned quietly. "Sorry we forgot"
I shrugged my shoulders. "Don't worry about it. I am over it" I sighed.
"Anyway he didn't tell me he was a werewolf, he showed me. We got into a fight and he phrased in my sitting room"
All three boys gasped quietly and stared over at me.
"Did he hurt you?" Jake mumbled, gritting his teeth together.
I show he had begun to shake slightly.
"No of course he didn't hurt me. This is Jared we are talking about" I said quickly.
As I rubbed his arm softly the shaking stopped and Jake smiled apologetically down at me.
"I had to believe him when he was a giant wolf" I laughed softly.
"So he didn't tell you about us?" Quil asked.
I shook my head. "No it was just Jared and Sam in the pack when he told me. You have changed like Jared did when he turned into a werewolf so I just guessed you joined the pack" I mumbled.
"Well that was a good guess" Jake grinned down at me.
"Thanks" I chuckled.
"Anyway there is a bonfire tonight down at the beach. It is a pack meeting and you are invited as our guest" Jake said proudly.
"You should feel honoured" Quil added, pushing the last sandwich into his mouth. Embry grunted in agreement as he patted his muscular stomach.
"That was amazing Lily" Embry beamed up at me.
"Are you sure it is alright if I come to the meeting?" I asked anxiously. "I don't want to make it awkward or anything"
Jake wrapped his arm around my shoulder and laughed softly. "I invited you so it will be perfectly fine" he assured me.
"Why?"
Embry snorted and Quil rolled his eyes.
"Well thanks to his great grandad who was the last pack leader, if Jake wanted too he could become Alpha and replace Sam" Quil explained.
"Lucky bugger" Embry muttered.
Me and Jake chuckled quietly.
"So we will pick you up at six o'clock ok?" Jake checked.
I nodded and followed them to the door. As they were walking down the drive a familiar red Rover pulled up the curb. I felt my stomach jump with excitement as a taller, prettier Kim jumping out of the car, grinning widely at me.
Jake turned and grinned at me. "I may have let slip that you were coming home but I didn't tell her until this morning so it will be a surprise for Jared tonight"
I moaned quietly.
"Bring Kodi with you too" Embry yelled back.
Kim sprinted past the trio of boys, knocking them out of her way and grabbing me into a tight hug.
"Lily" she cried loudly, burying her face into my hair.
I chuckled softly and wrapped my arms around her, hugging her back until she had stopped crying.
"I can't believe you are back. Jake called me this morning and told me" Kim wiped away the remaining tears and beamed up at me.
"Surprise" I laughed softly.
I pulled her into my house and grabbed a tissue out of the kitchen for her to wipe the running mascara.
We sat in the kitchen around the dining table as she drank a cup of hot chocolate I made for her. I felt bad for making her cry but apparently, it was a good thing.
"So how was England?" Kim asked curiously.
I shrugged my shoulders.
"Cold the weather is pretty much the same as here. It rains a lot"
Kim giggled as I shivered.
"Did you make any friends? Any boyfriends?" a familiar smirk stretched across her face and I felt my cheeks blush.
"No" I replied quickly. "No boyfriends but most of the people I met were friendly. Well most of them" I mumbled, as the scars on my back began to sting.
"Most of them?" Kim must have noticed me flinching.
"Yeah but you always get a few idiots who like to pick on the new girl. Don't worry about it"
I forced a smile onto my face, just to assure her and finally she brought it.
"So who is this little guy?" Kim asked as Kodi peered around the door frame.
"Little?" I snorted.
Kim frowned over at me and then gasped as Kodi strolled into the room, making himself look extra big just to prove Kim wrong. I had a strange feeling, Kodi wasn't a normal dog. He seemed to understand a lot more than people first gave him credit for.
"Kim this is Kodi my very own protector" I said as Kodi rested his chin on my knee, staring up me.
"He is beautiful" Kim murmured.
She giggled as Kodi jumped up and licked her cheek in return.
"Who needs a bunch of werewolves when I have my boy?" I chuckled, running my fingers through his fur.
"You have your own wolf?" Kim asked.
"Well he is mixed with a German Shepard but I think he hides that part" I answered quickly.
Kim laughed softly.
"The guys will love him" she added.
"Embry said I should bring him to the bonfire tonight. I think he will like the beach"
Kim eyes widened with excitement.
"You are coming to the bonfire?" she asked happily.
I nodded, laughing quietly at her reaction. "Yeah Jake invited me. He said that nobody would mind"
"It is going to so much more fun now you are here. Most of the boys just sit there eating or hitting each other so I just have to sit there" Kim clapped her hands enthusiastically.
"Well I will leave you to get ready but I will see you in a few hours" she jumped down off the chair and skipped to the front door. Before she left the house she turned to me.
"Don't worry about Jared. He will be just as happy to see you as I was. We both missed you when you left" Kim grinned over at me.
"I hate to admit it as I am your best friend but I think he may have missed you more than I did" her cheeks blushed slightly with embarrassment.
"Don't worry about it Kimmy. I missed you both too" I chuckled, pulling her in a tight hug,
"I won't tell Jared you are back. I want it to be a surprise" she shouted back to me before sliding into her car.
