Beep. I checked my phone.

I need to talk to you. Can you do three o'clock by the beach? It's important. Really, it is.
I love you,
Embry.

I checked my watch. It was twelve. I sighed. This must be important. We'd been dating for a couple of weeks now - what could be so important? My heart thumped. Was I taking things too far though? I mean, I hadn't known him for long, but things were just that fast. Was I being irresponsible? Did I love him? I knew the answer and was almost fustrated with myself. I barely knew the guy! But...Okay, aside from that, what about the text? Did he want to break up? Was he already bored with me? But - he hadn't shown any signs of that these few weeks. In fact, he looked the opposite. He looked - in love. But, of course, again, what did I know? My dating history didn't really give me any points. I decided to look it up on the internet.

How do you know if your boyfriend's going to break up with you? Ok, now I felt stupid. I scrolled down, the results crazy.

There were things like, whether or not he wanted to get physical. Did he want a hug or kiss? I thought back, and Embry hadn't resisted any of mine - in fact, he either welcomed them or started them. This was ridiculous. Embry and I were cool. He was amazing and would he have said, I love you otherwise? No. I gave up as my phone beeped again. Would this be him? No, it was just Alison. What terrible timing that girl had.

Hey, it's me. Do you wanna go to La Push to see the sights? I rolled my eyes. No doubt that the sights were boys. There was no way she was getting my Embry.

Sorry, I can't.

Why not?

I'm going out.

?

I'm busy.

Details.

What? I'm just going out of town!

No, you're not. Who are you going out with?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Sure. That'll hold up in court. Anyone I know? Kevin?

NO!

Justin?

Ew, gross.

Eric?

NO WAY!

OMG! A boy from La Push?

Shut up.

That means yes. Tell me which one. I want everything! Have you kissed?

You don't even know who I'm talking about. Who says I'm meeting someone anyway?

Fine. I'll get the answers one way or another. I didn't like the sound of that so I just ignored her.

"Hey. You said you wanted to speak to me?"

"Yeah. It's really important and I don't know how you-" He turned around to look behind him and I peered over his shoulder. I couldn't believe what I saw.

Alison. She was spying on me! That git! I was so going to get to her later.

"Who is it?" He asked curiously, turning around.

"My friend Alison. Don't get any ideas, okay?"

He grinned and took each of my hands in his. "I only have eyes for you, Miss McKenzie. Don't worry about that." My heart thumped and I smiled. He wasn't going to break up with me.

Embry leant forward and kissed me.

"Wait." I said as soon as we were done. "You said you needed to talk to me. You said it was urgent."

His face turned grave. Maybe I shouldn't have brought it up. "Yes, I did. Come with me." He led me into the forest, it was so dense I was suprised he knew his way around. It was dark. I thought I saw something glint, but it could've been my imagination.

"Okay. I've brought her." Wait, someone was meeting us here? I heard a swishing sound and a russle of leaves. Aman stepped out of the trees. It was one of the boys - or men I should say - who were wth Embry the first time I saw him - the time he ran into the woods.

"Good."

Embry tugged at my hand, still intertwind with mine. "Lizzie, this is Sam. Sam, this is Lizzie, my girlfriend."

"Hello." Sam said, and he held out his hand for me to shake.

"Hi," I whispered, shy.

Embry took a deep breath. "Okay. Here goes." He threw Sam a panicky glance. "I don't know how to do this. It's too soon Sam. Why do I have to do this?"

"Just come clean, you have too, before you get even more involved. It's better now, Embry, trust me, okay?" Sam encouraged. What, had Embry robbed a bank or something?

Embry paused, looking at Sam with a pained expression. "Please..." But Sam just nodded his head in encouragment.

He took another deep breath and turned towards me. "Lizzie. I'm a werewolf."
