Shaylee's POV

I hit the ground hard with a thud and I coughed as the breath left my lungs. "I think I should be able to use my powers on you." I grumble and dust myself off as I stand up popping my back. Edward chuckled shaking his head.

"No, no using your powers. Some of us aren't so immune to fire I will light up and be done for." My lips puckered out in a pout and I went to tackle Edward and he flipped me easily.

"You use your powers on me all the time." I wrap my leg around his shoulder and pull his arm through it yanking back hard and there's a loud crack and Edward grunts. "If you tap out now I'll play nice from now on and stop complaining about my lack of power usage." I said in a sing song voice and Edward let a snicker sneak free so I pulled tighter.

"Alright! Alright! I tap out!" He smacked the ground and I released him with a triumphant smile as I stood, my hair falling around my face and escaping my bun. I've been here for two weeks now and everything has been odd and an extreme adjustment. I felt like I lived a split life most of the time. On one hand I would be on the reservation and things would be great. The pack was pretty friendly and Jacob was amazing. Like breathtakingly and intensely amazing which is the oddest thing, I've felt in a long time. Love was something I had given up on a long time ago. Mortality was beautiful, but it was quick and when mortals withered away it hurt worse than any other pain. Which only left the ageless. Fey and vampires. Jacob was neither but he burned so bright it was hard not to be drawn into him.

On the other side there were the Cullens. Vampires. Creatures created by the dark Fey who were designed to be naturally drawn to that bright light and immense power that the light Fey emits and yet Edward was an amazing friend despite our differences at first and Jasper has grown close to me as well. As far as the girls go I think Rosalie is one of the few who enjoys my accompany along with her mate Emmett. Alice and Bella? Yeah they were not team Shay in fact Alice hissed at me the other day when Jasper was giving me a piggyback ride. It was an odd sight she reminded me of a chihuaha who had just learned her favorite chew toy had another buddy.

"Hello?" Edward snapped his fingers in front of my face and I shook my head and smiled sheepishly with an innocent look on my face. "Yeah yeah, don't give me that look. I asked if you were coming to the party tonight." I continued to look at him completely and utterly clueless. "Alice didn't invite you to the party?" I arched a brow not even bothering to answer and he snickered again. "Yeah I guess that was a stupid question. Well I'm inviting you. You deserve to loosen up and have a little fun."

"Oh is the old ball and chain suddenly a fan of me because I thought you were a virgin who was pussy whipped without the pussy." Edward's eyes grew wide Andhra burst out laughing as he shoved me playfully. "What? You know it's true! And she really does hate me!" I whined before giggling and releasing a slight snort and we both fell into another fit of laughter.

"Bella is just scared of losing me she knows that there's nothing she should really be scared of." He started walking me into the forest and I picked up my training bag and my purse as we walked into the foliage.

"Are you saying I'm not a threat because I'll be honest that's a little insulting. I mean I've got the looks." I joked playfully, "And I definitely have the personality." It got quiet then an awkward silence filling the air and I laughed nervously. "It was a joke."

"I know." He looked over at me his signature brooding expression in place. "Has Jacob really not told you?" I stopped in my tracks looking up at Edward and I felt my heart speed up.

"Tell me what?" I asked curiously trying to appear to only be mildly interested in whatever he was about to tell me because he obviously knew something I didn't.

Edward pursed his lips, "Its not my place to say anything." I opened my mouth and he shook his head. "I mean it I'm really in no place to tell you." He paused and I locked eyes with him. "I just want you to know that no matter what happens, no matter who is there for you or who turns their back on you. No matter who betrays you and who befriends you, I'll be here." The moment was serious and it was heavy, I felt my chest tighten with emotion and I leaned in lifting onto my tip toes and hugging Edward tightly.

"I know you will." I pulled back and continued my walk waving at Edward and smiling lightly as I made my way further into the woods and further away from the first true best friend I've had in a while.


"You look hot." Paul took a huge bite of the stir fry I made for dinner and I smiled.

"You really think so?" I looked in the mirror again and smiled proudly. My long blonde hair was in loose curls and I wore a white dress that had slits up both the sides from the hem to my hip. The front was a low cut and the back was barely existent. It screamed classy but edgy and by edgy I meant really edgy. Being raised Fey will do that to your self image. A complete and utter confidence and cocky demeanor oozed from me and even when I tried to be humble I had this competitive edge that kind of cancelled it out.

"Jacob is going to have a litter of fucking pups when he sees you." Paul told me swallowing hard.

I smiled looking over at Paul, "Thats what I'm hoping for."
