"Hey Mia," Seth whispered with his head peeking round the door.

"Just a sec," I said pulling my t-shirt on. "Come in."

"Hey," he grinned cockily and gave me a bear hug.

"Oh," I gasped, "hi," I said laughing.

"I want to take you to meet my family," he smiled.

"Wow, hold the phone," I said putting my hand out, "have you forgotten that I'm a vampire, your family are wolves and they sort kind of almost killed me?"

"Well they have to accept we've imprinted and besides you only hunt animals right?"

"Yeah, yeah animals," I said. Lie.

"So you're hunting like the Cullens now, which is ok," he said.

"Yep," I added. Lie.

I hadn't hunted in just over six months. I had stopped feeding and my body started getting used to the strain of not having blood. I still craved it, but I was trying to force myself not to, hoping that maybe if I kept it up I would be able to one day live without having the need for it. A girl can dream…

"Come on lets go," he said pulling my hand.

"Wait, Seth, I still don't know about this," I said hesitating.

"It'll be fine," he said.

"What about the treaty? Neither of us can cross lands," I brought up.

"It's a bit late for that. And besides it's only going to be my sister, Sam and Jared. Unfortunately Paul can be no where near you for now because of his temper and the others are letting Sam…"

"Access me, to see if I'm safe," I finished.

"Yeah, he nodded looking down, "but you know that whatever happens, I'll be here for you," he grinned gleefully.

"Come on," I laughed shaking my head at him.

Seth surprised me, although he left his pack once, he would leave it again and never look back, just for me.

"Alice," I said to her. "Is Jasper around?"

"No, he, Edward and Emmett went out hunting and you're not in my vision," she said looking at me with suspicion.

"That's because I'm sort of going to meet the wolves, well three of them actually," I said.

"They could kill you at anytime, even if we have started working together what's to say they won't turn their backs on us?" she lectured.

"Because that would never happen, not with our imprint," Seth said, entwining his fingers with mine.

"If something happened, I could never see it," Alice said looking down.

"Don't worry," I laughed, "I'll be fine and plus are you forgetting about my ability," I winked.

"If it makes you feel any better, I'll go with them," Jacob said who was standing behind Alice.

"You will?" Seth said lightening up. His eyes dazzled as he looked at Jacob.

Jacob smirked at Seth's reaction and nodded.

Sam had decided to meet out at the beach, so in case anything funny was to happen, it wouldn't. Not with people around.

"I'm just gonna run on ahead and talk to Sam first," Seth informed us and then ran.

"H-how do you cope," I asked Jacob, "with the whole imprinting on a vampire who just so happens to be an enemy?"

"I found it weird at first," he started to say, "but then, I didn't care. All I did and still do now was to protect her and make her happy. I'd put her life before mine," he shrugged.

"Is that how Seth feels?" I asked.

"Mia, every wolf who has imprinted feels like that when they find their soul mate, you can't turn it off," he half smiled.

I paused for a minute then asked, "Has anyone ever turned down an imprinter?

"Not that I know of, it's really impossible to resist because of the devotion and love you get from them."

I did like Seth and I found it good at going with the friend's thing at the moment, but I knew I could never go back to Alec. He had become obsessed, it was that bad. The only reason he acted creepy I think was because of the last time, when I said that was us for good. But, somewhere inside me had this unsettling feeling that Alec wouldn't accept this rejection, especially if it was to a werewolf.

"He seems to look up to you, you know," I said to Jacob.

"He's like a little brother to me," he warmly smiled.

"Jake, I know I don't know much about this and really I shouldn't have the cheek to ask you this, but do you still hate Edward?" I asked.

He gave me a look that said he was amused, and then said, "I would say yes, but after he gave me Renesmee I couldn't. She's everything to me," he shrugged.

One new thing I have learned about Jacob is that he's a big sweetheart.

"There they are," he pointed out as we got closer to the entrance of the beach.

As I got closer I caught a look of Leah, Seth's older sister. She had perfect copper skin, glistening black hair and also- just like Seth, eyelashes like feather dusters.

"Hi Mia," Sam said in a deep voice, but his face looked older. He had long, rounded muscles, along with copper skin and was tall too.

"This is Jared," Seth introduced. Like Sam, Jared looked similar, the only difference was he was a little shorter and had sort of red brown skin.

They never dared to shake hands with me.

Seth came over to me, sliding his hand into mine.

"I just want to make this clear," Sam started in a deep voice with a growl, "the treaty is messed up right now, but you will not- whatever the circumstances be allowed to feed on humans."

"Sam, its ok I won't." I assured him.

If Sam wasn't so important to Seth I would have told him something along the lines of "I can do what I want thank you very much, I have been living longer than you…" with a pun intended.

"Well hopefully we won't get anymore imprints with vampires," he scoffed.

"Excuse me! If Seth was born when I was, we would be together when I was human, I just tragically got attacked and had to suffer my mother dying for me, so I don't really think you have the right to start judging when you have no idea what the hell I've been through!" I roared at him.

Seth held onto me, tightly, looking at me, trying to calm me down.

I hated people who judged people! They had no right to, enemies or not, appearances are only the masks we hide behind.

I looked at Sam. My eyes were burning, painfully stinging every time I blinked. Sam just looked back at me, with his arms crossed and a smirk planted on his face.

"Welcome to the family," he laughed.

All that anger that had built up in me disappeared. I blinked. "What?"

By the expression on everyone's faces, they were all thinking the same thing.

"You got temper, just like a wolf," he smiled.

We all stared at him and blinked in shock.

I didn't know Sam but I could sense by his accusation that he hated vampires.

"Sam…?" Jacob said.

"I've decided to take a different approach towards this, a new start," he smiled thoughtfully at himself, "and, besides, Paul will have someone he can fight with."

"Oh Paul ain't getting anywhere near her," Seth instinctively said, standing in front of me slightly.

"It's ok Seth, I could take on any wolf twice the size of me," I laughed.

Sam cockily smiled at me and said, "Feisty one you are."

"Well I'll be damned, Sam having a good time with a vampire," Jared sarcastically said, laughing.

"Yeah well, you'll gain all my trust within time," Sam said more seriously now.

"Well, everything here seems to be fine, I think I'm going to go see Renesmee," Jacob said, waving as he left.

"Sam, remember the business just now," Jared said nudging him.

"O-oh! Oh yeah." Sam remembered, "If you'll excuse us, we have something to attend to, I'll see you around Mia Whitlock," Sam said winking.

"Come over here," Seth cockily grinned at me after Sam, Jared and Leah had left.

"You're sister never said one word there," I pointed out as we walked over to Seth's surprise.

"Yeah…I noticed that, but then I also noticed the face she had on; her depression face."

"Sam?" I just had to say.

"Yeah," he answered.

We went quiet for a second, but like usual, I broke the little awkward moment, "So what is it you want to show me?"

"This," he grinned.

In front of me was a little red and white checkered blanket, along with little speakers with an IPod sitting in them.

"Seth," I laughed.

Unexpectedly, he pounced on me, knocking his both down, landing perfectly on the blanket.

I was about to say something else, but his soft smooth fine lips touched with mine, filling me with passion inside.
