Chapter 3
"guess who's here" Quil said as we walked in the door.
"umm Seth, by any chance?" Jake said he must have known Seth was planning to vist.
"I ran" Seth explained.
"Seth has a girlfriend!" Quil teased. Jake wolf whistled and Seth went red in the face.
I loved being with the pack they were so relaxed and happy. Except at mealtimes. I had to fight back a giggle then.
I went to sit by Claire on the couch.
"So what's her name?" Claire asked.
"Hazel" Seth mumbled, still blushing.
"so, where did you meet her?" I asked, feeling nosey.
"she's in most of my classes at college."
"do we get to meet her?" Claire asked
"o-kay let's leave Seth alone," I said before Seth could say anything more. He obviously didn't want to tell anyone about hazel, yet, but he had no privacy running as a wolf. I knew how that felt.
"thanks" Seth mouthed to me.
Then I remembered I needed to tell Claire what happened on the beach. "Claire" I said using my mental voice again. She looked at me as if she wanted to tell me something and I replayed my memory in her head. She looked shocked.
"hey, Nessie, I'll race you to Sam and Emily's" When would Seth give up and realise I was faster than him. I looked at Jake.
"sounds like a good idea we've not visited them since last week. You coming Quil?"
"sure, sure" Quil said and we all stood up and walked to the door.
When we were out side Seth shouted "ready set go" and me, Jake and Seth started running towards the familiar house in the distance. But Quil and Claire doodled behind us holding hands. How long had Claire kept this from me and did Jake know?
I beat them there by a whole minute even though I was slowed by my pondering. Claire told me everything why would she keep this from me.
