To say the least I was relieved. After all my beta was safe with what it looked like a powerful figurehead, a familiar one at that since she claimed to Carslie. But I was still unhappy, she may be a little safe; but not completely safe, She wasn't completely safe until she was here, in my pack, back where she belonged: with me.

Adrenaline kept me going so fast for the recent tragic events. I patrolled almost all night, looking; even though I didn't know what I was looking for. The air and a few twigs from trees molested my russet fur as I ran through the woods to the Cullen's abode. I phased back, not caring enough to untie the leather cord to dress myself. With the information that I just got, there was no need for manners or shyness. The ivory door wasn't much of an obstacle as I damn near snatched the handle off to get inside.

The fact that eight vampires were staring at my vulenerable naked body didn't bother me, though looking at their averted eyes and disgusted looks my nudity bothered them. "Carslie!" I boomed at the leech doctor.

"Yes Jacob? Are you alright?" Carslie asked looking straight into my eyes, at least one vampire wasn't a prude.

"I am, but I just got a message from Leah and I think you should be the first to know, since it refers to you." I explained. His pale eybrows shot up in surprise.

"Oh, well then speak," he gestured with his hand in a forward motion.

"Do you know a woman by the name of Lady Reyes?" I questioned. All the vampires' heads snapped up.

"No, it can't be I attended her funeral back in what was it now-"Edward started to think. "I think it was two years after I was a vampire."

"You know how she is, she dies and comes back a couple of decades later,"Emment smiled. Where on Earth was that something to actually smile about, I really want to know.

Carslie put a hand up to silence his children. "Yes I do know her, I probably won't recongnize her, but I am famliar with her."

My breath started to become a little more normal now. "Is Leah safe around her? She won't hurt her will she?"

"Heavens no! From what I remember, she wouldn't dare hurt a shifter. She is dangerous, but not to Leah, but for the Volturi. Everyone knows the bad blood between the two,"Carslie shook his head. He looked at me strangely. "I'm surprised you don't know who she is , I mean you should've at least heard of her husband Master Reyes." I shook my head no. "Do the name Reyes ring a bell at all?"

"I never heard of it, should it?" I asked.

"I think Jacob needs a little history lesson, so he knows just who we have on our side,"Jasper suggested.

"Indeed, but first things first: Jacob would you do us all the kind favor of putting your pants on?" Carslie said, I looked down and back up again. I was now conscious of what and where I was at. In hurry I untied my shorts from my ankle and sat down on their pure white couch, happily soiling it in the process.

"If you want to know about shifters the first that pops up is Reyes,"Carslie began.

I dressed qucikly while in the process of trying to catch up with Lady.

"Can I ask you a question?"

"You just did, but I'll throw in a free one just because I like you,"She joked.

"How do you know Carsle?" I asked as I eyed her up and down. She looked too young to have a deep realtionship with an old vampire like Carslie, but then again nothing was as it appeared and Carslie had a lot friends on the side of the Earth I never knew exsisted.

"An old family friend. My family helped him out by letting him use some of their animals he fed on this was over 150 years I was even a thought."

"How old are you, if you don't mind asking?" I asked timidly, not wanting to offend her. She stopped walking and turned towards me. Her face had a smooth smile on it, for a moment she looked a little older, but that could just be my subconcious playing tricks on me.

"The body that you see before you dates was born in '87, the person that posesses it dates back to the late 1700s. These bodies die, and I have to wait a couple of decades maybe longer to get another one," with that she was going back to the mansion once again.

"So that makes you a ghost?"

"Let's jsut say my spirit hasn't had enough of this world, or rather the world hasn't have enough of me."

I was going to ask another question before a tall and lean man approached us, he acknowleged me witha bow before turning his attention to Lady. "Padrona, your precense is needed in the torture room,"He reported.

"I'm sorry love but duty calls,"She smiled apologeticly. Torture room? This house had more secret than I imagined. "Very well, Sergio please keep Leah company while I'm gone. Surely this won't hold me for too long,"She said as she walked away.

Me and Sergio looked at each other awkwardly. He smiled and I held out my hand with a smile. "Leah,"I minus well be friendly towards these people, I din't want to end up in the torture room.

"Sergio,"He refused my handshake and went in to kiss my hand. OH well hello there Mr. Sergio! I felt all lady like and shit.

"Right,"I awkwardly took my hand out from his soft lips. It was nice, but...weird. "Sergio, are you by any chance a ghost?"

"Come scusi?"

P.S. My Italian is horrible I know. But Pardona is a term for Lady of the House. 'Come scusi?' Is excuse me? I had to drown myself in foreign laungage research and culture in order to make sure I had the right feel you know. I hate to offend any international readers I may have.
