Forever Wolf

Ch. 2 –Stunning Beauty

"Yes." She answered simply. "…Or…" She hesitated. "Are you not pleased with your gift?" Her voice drifted off toward the end as she seemed to find the floor interesting. "I'm sorry. I could bring you something else? Or is it me? I can change…"

"You are lovely." Jeremy stepped toward her slowly. "Please do not think ill of me, but I have no idea who you are and my home is currently under attack. I must help my pack."

"Oh… Edward-San said you would be expecting me. I thought everyone outside were just training. I am sorry to have kept you from your pack. Allow me to make it up to you. Please call your pack here and I will clear out the land."

"… They will not hesitate to attack an unknown, especially Clayton."

"Do not worry about me. I will show you how capable I am of defending one's home." She smiles. "I'm Kagome, by the way, I'm from an unusual pack in Japan but that can wait."

"Jeremy." He answered, calling the pack as she asked. Kagome stood there calmly while they gathered hesitantly and did not move or acknowledge the noises and postures those in wolf form made. "This is everyone." Jeremy had made sure to keep himself between his pack and the newcomer to avoid unnecessary battle.

"Thank you." Kagome bowed, looking up at them with a smile on her face. "I shall cleanse your home of those who wish you ill as a second gift. Please remain here. I know that is asking a lot for someone you do not yet know but I have come here to be a Danvers Bride so please trust that this is for your safety." She bowed again before editing the house, making sure the door was firmly shut behind her.

It was only a few seconds later, the house shook with vibrations as a powerful growl filled with the promise of death. The sound echoed through them and it took everything Jeremy had to hold his pack in check as they were torn between the instinct to fight and the instinct to flee. He was torn between the need to keep everyone inside and the need to see his betrothed. She had been stunning in her anger when she took his father's life and he couldn't help but want to see what she looked like at this exact moment.
