Chapter 4

The next day at school I decided to wear the wolf hair pin Emily gave me because it let me remember the night. Lots of gossip was spreading about me and Paul already. I had gone from "the beautiful Cullen" to "the Quileute bad boy" I found it to be rather funny but didn't comment when people asked. I simply told everyone we were not official and that I did not have a boyfriend. I wish it wasn't true but that was the fact.

"Hey Jazz," I said very excited when I sat next to him.

"Why are you so happy today?" he asked annoyed.

"Just had a lot of fun last night, that's all," I explained not liking his attitude.

"I'm surprised you made it through the night without getting hurt. I half expected you to show up today with a scar or bruise on your face," he mumbled clearly not happy.

"Jasper Cullen," I said shocked. "How dare you say something like that, I will have you know Paul was a complete gentleman last night," I said stunned.

"It sure looked that way when you two were in the forest," he replied sarcastically. I couldn't stop from blushing; I figured we had walked deep enough into the trees that no one would see us.

"What I'm not allowed to kiss him?" I asked lowering my voice since class had started. "You kiss Alice publically all the time," I accused.

"Alice is the love of my life and my girlfriend not just some one nighters," he answered with acid. I was stunned Jasper had never been this mean to me. I just turned to face the board. "Nice hair pin too," he whispered rolling his eyes at me. I reflexively touched the sparkly wolf before turning my chair completely away from him. I rushed out of class when the bell rang and headed straight for Government. On my way though I bumped into Alice and couldn't stop myself from saying something.

"Can you tell your boyfriend to stop being a complete ass?" I said before storming past her. I didn't hear her respond not that I waited around. I rest of the day I was just annoyed whenever someone brought up last night and me being with Paul. When school was over I headed straight for the parking lot. Jasper was leaning against my car waiting for me.

"Move!" I demanded.

"I need to talk to you," he said clearly still angry.

"Yeah well that sucks because I don't want to talk to you. In fact I need you to move so I can go down to La Push and see Paul again," I said just trying to make him angrier. It was definitely working.

"I don't want you hanging around that guy Lilly, he is bad new trust me," Jasper said trying to calm himself down.

"You don't even know him! I think you just don't want me dating anyone and it makes you mad that I picked a badass like Paul instead of someone like Mike who you are clearly superior to," I accused.

"I'm superior to Paul," Jasper replied.

"Well I would disagree with that, as would many other people now MOVE," I yelled.

"I'm not letting you go down there," he threatened.

"Oh is that right? And how are you planning on stopping me?" I asked.

"I just won't move so you can't drive," he said leaning against the driver's side door.

"I will walk then," I said turning in the opposite direction. Jasper tried to grab my shoulder but only caught my shirt and he pulled on it so hard that it ripped. I turned around at him shocked. He easily could have hurt me. "Are you insane?" I asked in shock. I could tell he was shocked too, clearly he didn't mean to yank that hard.

"Lilly I'm so sorry," he whispered. I took that opportunity to push past him and open my car door. I got in and drove off not looking back at Jasper once. I was so mad and upset that I started crying, they were mostly angry tears. Jasper and I had never had that big a fight. I made it to Emily's and saw Paul sitting on her porch. I brushed away all the tears and tried to fix my makeup, the last thing I wanted was Paul seeing me looking like a mess. I got out of the car and smiled when he looked up at me.

"Hey pretty girl," he said pulling me into a hug.

"Hi Paul," I replied into his chest. When he released me I could tell he knew something was wrong.

"What's wrong why do you look sad? And what happened to your shirt?" he asked looking at the torn part on my shoulder. "Who did this to you?" he asked becoming angry.

"It's nothing," I sighed pulling away from him. He grabbed my hand and yanked me with him from the house. Apparently it was national be aggressive with Lilly day. He stopped when we were out of hearing range of the house.

"What happened?" he asked but this time in a sweeter tone. I could tell he was worried about me. Paul was actually too perfect.

"I had a really big fight with one of my best friends and he accidently ripped my shirt when I was walking away because he tried to grab me," I explained. That made Paul mad again.

"A guy did this to you?" he asked visibly shaking now. I just nodded. "What's his name?"

I sighed before answering, "Jasper."

"A Cullen did this to you?" he asked becoming furious.

"Yeah he was mad because I was out with you last night and he freaked," I added. That didn't make Paul any better.

"What are you even doing talking to a leech? I can't believe he hurt you! How dare he say anything to you? I'm going to kill that blood sucker," Paul said shaking more intensely. I was so confused by what he was saying.

"Paul its fine," I tried to assure him but he was scaring me now, he was so angry and it was intimidating me.

"Lilly!" I heard called from behind me. I saw Sam running towards me; he grabbed my arm and tossed me behind him. It was so unexpected that I just fell on the ground unable to keep my balance. It was a good thing Sam threw me though because right as he did Paul turned into a giant… wolf! I couldn't believe it right where Paul had been standing there was a huge silver wolf and I mean this thing was gigantic. I was paralyzed with horror. What the hell was going on?

"Get Lilly inside," Sam said, I looked up and Embry was standing over me. He pulled me up and walked me inside Emily's. From the look on her face she clearly knew what was happening. I sat on the couch just lost in thought. Emily came and sat next to me.

"Emily what just happened?" I asked.

"What do you think happened?"

"I was talking to Paul and he got really angry and started shaking and then suddenly he turned into a huge silver wolf. Embry laughed beside me and I had no idea why.

"Paul is not silver he is gray, but he will be happy to hear you call him silver," Embry explained. I just looked at him in shock. This clearly was no surprise to him, was he a wolf too?

"Emily what is going on?" I asked again.

"You really need to wait for Sam to explain it, when he calms Paul down he will tell you," she assured me.

"Can you just tell me, do you turn into a wolf?" I asked looking at her scarred face; maybe she did it to herself when she was changing or something. She laughed which put me at ease.

"No, I do not," she said placing a reassuring hand on my leg. I nodded and waited for Sam to return. It took about twenty minutes before Sam walked back in, Paul was right behind him. I just looked at the floor when I saw Paul I had no idea what was happening. I felt a warm hand on my shoulder and looked up to see it was Paul.

"Can I talk to you?" he asked. I nodded and followed him outside. We just sat on the little porch swing Emily had outback. There was a long pause before he started talking. "Well now you know," he said.

"Yeah, you're a wolf," I replied refusing to look at him.

"I'm sure you're scared but you don't need to be, I would never hurt you. And I can't help it just so you know. It's genetic," he explained. "And technically I'm a werewolf." I nodded trying to understand it all. "Please don't be scared of me," Paul said after a long pause. I finally looked up at him and he seemed worried.

"I'm not scared of you," I assured him. He seemed happy at that. "I'm just in shock I guess, I mean you just turned into a gigantic silver wolf right in front of me, how is that even possible?"

I saw him smile when I said silver instead of gray, but that's the way I saw him. "It's a long story but it all has to do with our ancestors and some crazy old magic but me, Sam, Jared, Embry and Jacob are all werewolves."

"Why did you call Jasper a leech and blood sucker?" I asked after taking a minute to think. He stiffened and I was worried he would turn into a wolf again.

"The Cullen's are all vampires, they drink the blood of animals but they are still not allowed on Quileute land. That's why we exist, to hunt and kill all vampires. There is a treaty now that says we won't harm the Cullen's as long as they stay off the reservation and never bite a human. The second they do the war begins," he answered. Okay now I really couldn't breathe. Everything he was saying sounded completely crazy, but in some ways made a lot of sense. I shivered thinking about everything and Paul mistook it for me being cold, he put his arm over my shoulder and it felt good, safe even.

"Okay," I said simply. I wasn't sure what else there was that could be said at this point. I clearly understood what Jasper meant when he said they were dangerous now but it seemed to me he was equally as dangerous.

"I understand if these means you don't want to go out with me again," Paul said after an awkward silence. I thought about that for a minute. Could I date a giant wolf? Well Bella seemed to date a vampire just fine. What was I going to do just never see Paul again? Stop coming down here so I would never see any of them again? Should I avoid the Cullen's too then? I straightened up and Paul took his arm off of me.

"Can I tell you something now?" I asked. He nodded eager to hear what it was. "I still want to be with you, even if you are a wolf sometimes," I said my voice turning into a whisper. Paul smiled clearly happy with my answer. He leaned over and kissed me gently before pulling away. I smiled and he pulled me up, he reached and intertwined our hands and I felt very secure. We walked back into Emily's and the wolves were there and smiling at us.

"So you think you have what it takes to run with wolves?" Jared asked. The entire house laughed. It was a little weird talking about this so openly.

"Hey if Emily can do it then so can I," I replied. Everyone laughed at that and I felt a little more at ease. Emily and Sam walked over to me.

"Welcome to the pack," Sam said before hugging me, Emily hugged me too and I relaxed even more. After that things carried on as normal. Paul went and sat on the couch and Emily went back to cooking. It made sense now why these guys were hungry all the time, they were actually huge wolves. I was going to sit down until I realized there were no more spots.

"Come sit with me," Paul said opening his arms when he saw my dilemma. I nodded and sat on his lap. He was practically a chair anyway with his size and was definitely warm and comfy. Every so often he would kiss my neck making me blush even though the other wolves didn't seem to notice.

"You better get home Lilly otherwise your mom will get worried," Emily said. I glanced at my phone and it was later then I usually stayed. Paul helped me up and walked me out to my car. He pulled me close to him after I threw my stuff in the back seat.

"You can't tell anyone about us," he said becoming serious.

"I won't," I promised.

"And I wasn't exactly allowed to tell you about the Cullen's, Sam is going to kill me when he finds out but I just need you to be careful since you're around them so much," he said leaning more of his body into me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and nodded.

"I can do that," I said with a smiled. Paul leaned down and kissed me.

"We are having a bonfire tomorrow out on the beach you should come, they will be telling all the stories from our past and it will help you understand more. And then I get to spend the entire night with you," he said kissing me again. He released me and I frowned a little. "What's that face for?" he asked confused.

"I'm going to miss you," I said blushing. Man I was so lame it was actually embarrassing. Paul grinned and swiftly picked me up off the ground. I wrapped my legs around him and he secured his arms around me ensuring I wouldn't fall.

"How did I get so lucky?" he asked kissing me briefly.

"I could ask you the same thing," I whispered. He leaned against my car door and kissed me so passionately I felt like my face was on fire. He forced my lips apart and didn't hesitate deepening the kiss. He was rough and powerful about it, something completely new to me but I couldn't resist him. After I couldn't breathe anymore I pulled away. Paul put me on my feet and opened the car door for me.

"It's not going to get better than that," he teased. I laughed and got in the car. "See you tomorrow pretty girl," he said leaning in to kiss me one last time. I waved as I drove off and felt speechless the entire way.

"What happened to you?" my mom asked when I walked through the door. I glanced in the mirror and was shocked with how I looked. My hair was a mess and you could see the missing foundation from when I was crying and my lips were red and swollen.

"It's been a long day," I answered simply.

"Just promise me you're being safe with this boy," she said as I headed up stairs. I looked back at her stunned. "Don't look at me like that, you're seventeen years old, just be safe," she said with a smile. I ran upstairs too stunned to say anything else. I showered and just curled up in bed trying to figure out if this was all real or not, I drifted to sleep and dreamt about werewolves, vampire, unicorns, and the land of Narnia.

School was going to be long and awkward. I made it through English easy enough, but I found myself glancing at Bella a few times. Did she really know her boyfriend was a vampire? In Spanish I couldn't even look at Emmet, I just said hello to him and nothing else. He didn't seem super talkative so that was a win. On my way to calc I ran into Edward, like physically ran into him. I was so busy thinking about all of this that I wasn't paying attention to where I was walking. Edward looked at me and I suddenly wondered if all vampires had gold eyes because all of the Cullen's sure did. He hesitated and it scared me.

"Sorry Edward," I mumbled. He continued to stare at me. Did he know I knew? Was that even possible? No, no way, how could he?

"You have calculus with Jasper this period right?" he asked after a second. I just nodded. "Would you mind if I walked with you I need to talk to him?" he asked although it didn't really come off as a question.

"Sure," I agreed hesitantly. We made it in and Jasper was sitting looking unhappy, he turned confused when he saw Edward behind me. I sat down and pulled out my calculus book.

"Jasper I need to talk to you, it's important," Edward said. Jasper nodded and followed him outside. I was becoming very nervous, now that I knew it was hard to look at Jasper the same way. He walked back in just as the bell rang and sat next to me without saying anything.

"I'm sorry about yesterday," Jasper whispered. He seemed to be in a better mood suddenly.

"Tell that to my shirt," I joked. Okay that was easy enough, I could still be normal around Jasper. I just needed to stop thinking about it so much.

"I will be more than happy to get you a new one," he assured me.

"Don't think I won't hold you to that, I have seen Alice's clothes she can pick out a stylish shirt that you can then pay for and give to me," I replied with a smile.

"Oh so now you like her style?"

"I already apologized for that," I said. I was about to tell him Paul and I were official but remembered how he felt about that and now I knew why. I just smiled at him before starting to take the notes. It didn't feel tense; whatever Edward talked to him about seemed to calm him down. The bell rand and I gathered all my stuff up.

"Hey Lilly, do you think we could hang out after school for a little?" Jasper asked casually.

"Sorry I'm heading down to La Push for a bonfire," I replied. He became annoyed but hid it from me quickly.

"Don't bonfires happen at night?" he asked.

"Yeah but I want to spend the day with Paul, I'm sure you get that," I said smiling at Alice approaching us. She seemed to be more hesitant towards me. She didn't even say hello, just smiled at me. "I have to go see you on Monday," I said using the awkward pause to leave. I rushed off trying to avoid any Cullen for the rest of the day.

Sneak Peak

Chapter 5

"Hey Lilly catch," Embry said before tossing something in my direction. I realized it was a hot ember from the fire. I flinched into Paul but he reached out and grabbed it with his bare hand. He dropped it immediately.

"Ouch! Shit Embry what the hell, what if I didn't catch that?" Paul asked becoming extremely annoyed. I grabbed Paul's hand and saw it was burned.
