I ran, just like Cat said. I ran straight out of that alley and straight home, trying to clear my racing thoughts.

Jade-Jade-Jade-Jade-Jade-Jade.

Cat was behind me, I felt her pawsteps vibrate through the ground.

I dashed up to my room.

"Holy crap." I whisper.

Cat nods at me and closes her eyes. A few seconds later, Skylar popped in through my window.

Skylar was about 5'6", had lemon-green eyes, and dyed her short hair cotton candy blue. She had tiny little plugs that she said she wasn't gonna get any bigger, and a belly button piercing. Also when she was 15, she got a tattoo of an intricate butterfly on the inside of her wrist. On the very tip of the wings there were the initials CV.

I nodded my greeting to her and she smiled at me, hooking an arm around Cat.

I look helplessly at the pair. "What should I do?" I whisper softly.

"Call her. Invite her over. She's probably really shaken up."

"When should I tell her?"

"It's best if it's kept a secret until you're ready to change her." Skylar said softly. I grunted and pulled out my phone.

"J-J-Jade West?" I hear a sniffle, but mostly awe.

"Jade, its Tori, are you okay?"

"No." she whispers before hanging up.

I groan and put my head in my hands.

"She saw my eyes." I whispered. "That means we're bonded." I whisper.

Cat giggled and flashed her own cobalt's at me. I shoved her and she laughed.

"Yes Tori, it does mean you're bonded." Skylar said, shooting a glare at Cat. "You're officially off the market hon."

I roll up my nose in disgust but laugh anyway.

Then I feel it.

Jade's nearby. I feel it. And I smell Vanilla Strawberry.

"She's on the front walk." I whisper and dash downstairs, opening the door before Jade even gets to the porch. I usher the still crying girl in and lead her upstairs. I open the door to find-

"UGH! DO YOU TWO EVER TAKE A BREAK?!" I screech at the currently face-sucking girls in my room.

They pull apart and grin sheepishly at me.

"Cat. Skylar. Out. Now."

They both shook their heads.

I'm your Alpha. I growl inside my head.

I swear Cat whimpers and dashes out the door. Skylar takes the window.

I sit on my bed, motioning for Jade to sit as well.

"So yeah, that's Cat's girlfriend. SKYLAR!" I shout. "MAKE SOME FOOD PLEASE!"

"YOU MAKE IT YOURSELF BITCH!" I hear Cat shout and I growl.

Cat I swear to god you're on babysitting duty this month. I smirk. 'Babysitting' is what we did when we watched over the not-yet-pubescent wolves that hadn't made first transformation yet. Once you hit puberty, your werewolf blood kicked in and you could change.

NO! I hear her voice inside my head.

I smirk and turn to Jade, who's sitting wide-eyed.

"Cat has a…girlfriend?" she whisper-laughs.

I giggle. "Yeah."

"And she cusses?"

"Yeah."

Jade crosses her arms and her lower lip trembles.

"Oh, Jade, what's wrong?"

"Promise you won't call me crazy?" she whispers and I nod.

"Never in a million years."

She sniffles and I sit next to her.

"It's okay Jade." I whisper.

"Okay, up, so this guy, he looked at me, and then, we were in this alley, and then he was going to…God he was gonna rape me, and then these two wolves showed up, but they were like, HUGE. One of them was like, almost glowing, and it had brownish red fur, but it had a white star over its eye, and it launched on the creep and I swear Tori it said my name, a fucking animal said my name, and then the guy just vanished, and then the wolves ran away!"

I smiled. "I don't think you're crazy." I whisper.

She sighed and I could see she was still crying.

I look at her, refusing to break eye contact. She doesn't look away and instead stretches out on the bed.

I glance at her stomach and feel like everything's right in the world.

She sits up and I give her a hand to stand. We walk out into the living room where Skylar is currently on top of Cat, and they're about eight seconds away from ripping each other's clothes off.

"CAT!" Jade screeches.

They break apart and I growl at them.

"Jeez, sorry." Cat giggles. Skylar pecks her lips and stands up, heading into the kitchen.

I give Jade a hug and she smiles at me before leaving.

Pack meeting at the barn tonight. No exceptions. I pulse to all of my pack and know that they've all heard it.

Skylar sits on the couch next to Cat and they resume sucking face.

I groan and decide to go for a walk; I could use the energy release. Jade was…everywhere in my thoughts. It was kinda insane actually.

I'm on my way out the door when I get the feeling something's wrong.

Blinding pain rips through me and I double over. I know it's not me though.

Jade. I pulse to Cat.

She stands up. I can barely breathe.

"Tori, Tori calm down." She whispers, rubbing my back.

The pain just intensifies and I manage to stand, my high-pain tolerance kicking in. "Something's wrong." I whisper and dash out the door, my eyes closed.

Focus on her scent. Jade.

I catch a whiff of Vanilla Strawberries and I follow it Northwest, right about a block from Jade's house.

I stop cold at what I see.

Jade's on the ground, and there's three vampires next to her. They aren't drinking her, that's good, but they are burning her.

They're fucking burning my mate.

As in lighting a match, and throwing it on her stomach.

How do you even respond to that?

I change into wolf form and growl. Jade's crying, and I feel her terror.

I leap in front of her, effectively making the vamps move. They recoil from me as I bare my teeth, taking the most intimidating, protective stance I can over her. They scatter and I sigh, knowing the fight's done for now.

I turn back to Jade and push her arm, whining softly. She's crying and I feel slight terror in the pit of my stomach.

I bow my head to her, lick her hand, and flash my eyes their 'normal' chocolate brown.

I wink at her. She half-grins, half-looks scared.

I lie down and look at the burns. I hesitate, but lick softly at them. Werewolves have a healing power in their saliva, that's why we heal so fast.

She hisses, but I don't stop until I see the faintest signs of a closing wound. I smile and rest next to her, pulsing to Cat.

She's on the corner of 5th and DarkSet, come quick. I'm with her in wolf form and she's terrified but I'm not leaving her side until you get here. Bring Skylar if you want.

Kk! I hear in my head.

I whine and she pets me, but I sense her uncertainty.

I sigh and put my head down until I see Cat and Skylar's car stop at the corner and the pair get out.

I whine, but leave, going back to where my clothes were. I changed back and met them right as they were getting to Jade, who hadn't noticed anything yet.

"Tori." She gasped. "The wolf came back." She whispers.

"Well, you are having the shittiest luck today." I giggle and help her up. She winces but looks down, and the wounds have pretty much completely disappeared.

Her jaw falls open in shock.

"I think you should just stay at my house." I tell her and she nods in wonder.

I smile and we drive back to mine. I groan when Cat and Skylar run off to the guest bed.

"Hey, Tori?" Jade whispers.

"What?"

"Thanks."

Okay, so, THANK YOU SO MUCH! I will try to use as many of your OCs as I can. Also, I need more Steeles, and I need more males. Just a heads-up. If you have a REALLY great idea for a girl, let me know, but I think exactly one person submitted a guy.

Also, its fine if anons leave OCs, but I wish they would make an account, because then I could PM them with questions. Oh well.

Thank you all, and remember to dream forever!
