CPOV

Slowly stepping out of the darkened forest Jake, my beautiful russet wolf, walked cautiously over to me until he was a foot away.

Getting the feeling of déjà vu, I remembered the first time I set my eyes upon him and a large smile graced my lips. Confidently taking a step forward, once again I reached my hand out to his snout, "Can I?" Lowering his head, I rubbed my hand through his thick fur. "My wolf," I murmured stroking him lovingly. A rumble sounded deep from his chest. If he was a cat I would've thought him to be purring.

No matter how many times I felt it, the warmth that ran through my body when we touched made me shiver. On instinct, I moved myself closer to him, loving the woodsy smell he gave off.

Nuzzling my face into his fur, I was content. This is what I've wanted all along. That feeling of completion that I've seen my friends share with their boyfriends; that feeling I've been jealous of since I stepped foot in Forks, only now it was my turn. Wrapping my arms around his neck, I kissed his snout and buried my face in his fur, "It was always you Jacob. My Jacob."

Pulling away quickly, Jake licked my face making me squeal and trotted out of the clearing, only to reappear a few minutes later back in human form, minus his shirt. I said it before and I'll say it again, it should be illegal to have abs that look like that.

Striding over Jacob grabbed me into a tight hug and buried his face into the side of my neck, "You have no idea how badly I've wanted to hear you say that. I mean, I didn't know if you were going to take to this whole wolf thing, I mean I did kind of have an idea that you would be okay with it because you seemed to like me pretty well in wolf form, but you really never know how these things happen, so to hear you say that just makes me so happy Caid," he finished by taking a deep breath.

Chuckling, I stepped back to get a good look at Jake's face. His eyes were shining from happiness and his breathtaking grin was ever-present on his face. I felt a tug on my heartstrings just looking at him, knowing he was all mine.

"Come on, we have a lot to talk about," Jake said placing a chaste kiss on my lips and grabbing my hand, "and I want you to meet the pack."

"The pack?" I asked confused.

Shaking his head he laughed, "I keep forgetting that you don't know everything yet. Usually we're supposed to tell our imprint everything about us before we show them our wolf form, but, well, we kind o f went a little out of order."

"Oh." I couldn't think of anything else to say, but all I could think about was that I did something wrong and I was going to get Jake in trouble when we got back to the pack.

"What is it Caiden?" Jake asked looking deep into my eyes and stroking my cheek, "Why do you feel like you did something wrong?"

"I-wh-how did you know that?"

Looking sheepish, Jake rubbed the back of his neck, "I guess I did forget to mention that part. When we imprint, well we, um, well we can uh, sense certain things, like really strong emotions, and we well, always know how they feel and stuff."

"Oh." Geez couldn't I think of anything better to say?!

"So what's wrong?" he said softly.

Looking down at the ground I mumbled, "Did I do something wrong with this imprinting thing?" Feeling a hand under my chin I glanced up to see Jake staring at me confused, so I continued, "Because you told me everything out of order, and not the way you were supposed to?"

Smiling brightly, Jake pulled me into a quick hug, "You didn't do anything wrong, I did." Now it was my turn to look confused. "I imprinted on you in my wolf form, that's never really happened before, and it was easier for you to accept me that way, so I kind of had to do things a little differently," he laughed.

Taking my hand, Jake placed a kiss on my knuckles and started pulling me out of the clearing and towards our destination. Soon we stopped in front of a small blue cottage. It was beautiful. It was surrounded by trees and different kinds of flowering bushes, and with a flower box in every window. It had a small porch in the front with a little bench so you could sit outside on nice days, assuming Forks ever had one.

Giving my hand a squeeze, Jake led us to the porch and knocked on the door once before opening it. We walked directly into the kitchen and the smell of freshly baked banana nut muffins teased my nose. Immediately I felt at home. The kitchen was painted in a light orange color with a brown trim, and all the wood was a golden pine.

A wave of contentment passed through my body.

Covering every available surface were different shapes and sizes of plates and bowls imaginable, all filled up with food.

It's like feeding a small army. Giggling to myself, I was surprised when a person appeared next to me asking, "What's so funny?"

Jumping about a foot in the air, I yelped.

"Whoa there! Sorry, didn't mean to startle you. Geez Jake, you've got yourself a jumper," he chuckled to himself. Holding out his right hand he introduced himself, "Hey I'm Sam, Jake's beta."

Nodding, I shook his hand, "Caiden."

Sam looked a lot like Jake. He was tall, probably around 6'1'', and very muscular. He had the same short shiny black hair and russet colored skin, but that's where the comparison ended. Where Jake was happy-go-lucky, Sam seemed very reserved, like he was all business and no play.

Turning to Jake, Sam said, "Everyone's waiting in the living room. Right now we're just waiting on Leah and Seth."

Jake gave him a nod that dismissed him, and the minute he was out of the room Jake pulled me into a kiss. Feeling his soft lips pressing hard on mine, made me weak in the knees. I'm sure if Jake wasn't holding me up, I'd probably be lying on the floor. Pushing me up against the counter, Jake kept assaulting my mouth with kisses. Running his tongue along my bottom lip, he pulled it into his mouth and lightly bit it, sending vibrations down my spine. Grabbing my hips and pressing himself against me, I felt something very hard on my stomach. Getting a slight tingling sensation at my core, I ran my nails down his back causing Jake to growl into my mouth. Slowly moving his hands up, Jake was rubbing the skin underneath my shirt when…

"Well don't mind us."
