Chloe smiled brightly when she heard the doorbell ring that night. She scrambled off her bed and made her way downstairs where she saw her father in the process of answering the door.

Henry stared blankly at Beca while folding his arms and leaning against the doorframe.

"You must be Rebecca."

Beca rubbed the back of her neck nervously, "It's Beca, actually."

Henry nodded slightly and remained planted in the doorway while Beca swayed back and forth, wondering if it was a bad time and if she should come back later.

"You do drugs, Rebecca?"

Beca blinked, "What? No."

Henry quirked an eyebrow, "Do you drink?"

Beca licked her lips and cleared her throat, "Once in a blue."

Henry seemed to appreciate the honestly because he stepped to the side with a slight grin on his face.

"Alright well make sure you're responsible when you do. Come in."

Beca ducked her head and nodded as she stepped inside, looking around briefly until her eyes drifted to the stairs where Chloe proceeded down.

"Hey."

Beca smiled, "Hi."

Chloe looked over at her father and narrowed her eyes playfully, "Next time can you hold off the scary dad questions?"

Henry patted Beca on the back, "It's my job as a father to make your dates feel uncomfortable."

Chloe grabbed Beca by the wrist and led her up the stairs, "We'll be in my room. Please stay down here."

Henry smirked, "No funny business."

Chloe and Beca reached the second floor when their fingers suddenly laced together as they walked up to a door at the end of the hallway.

"This is my playroom." Chloe said in a low husky voice, her eyes practically staring into Beca's soul as her hand wrapped itself around the knob.

Beca raised an eyebrow, "Good to know, Mrs. Grey."

Chloe giggled and pulled Beca with her when she opened the door. The door shut behind them, Beca walked in front of Chloe as she took a look around the brightly lit room. She wasn't sure if it was the lights that dangled on the walls or the pink paint that blinded her until her eyes learned to adjust.

Chloe walked over to her bed and plopped down, tapping the space next to her until Beca caught the hint to join her. The werewolf shuffled over and sat down, pursing her lips with her hands clasped together on her legs. Chloe found the silence amusing because she could easily strike up a conversation but she wanted Beca to have a chance to start the flow of things.

Beca turned to Chloe and moved her hands around as she spoke.

"So what did you wanna do?"

Chloe leaned over and grabbed her laptop from her nightstand and brought it to rest beside her.

"We can start with a movie."

"Sounds good." Beca said, after a moment, her eyes drifted to the side and she suddenly found herself standing up from the bed and walking over to the window.

Chloe frowned, "What is it?"

Beca felt her protective instincts kick in and her eyes glowed as they scanned the outside, searching for any unwanted visitor that may have triggered this feeling. At the sound of a car door opening, her yellow eyes flickered down in time to see Henry toss a rather large duffel bag beside him before sliding into the drivers seat. Beca caught a whiff of gun powder and a rather strong scent that burned her nostrils before the car pulled out of the driveway.

"Beca?"

Beca's eyes flickered back to normal and she turned back around.

"I uh...does your dad always leave this late?"

Chloe shrugged, "He always tells me its work related."

"So he leaves every night?" Beca asked, suddenly interested in the whereabouts of her father. She felt obligated to know ever since he almost killed her, if he was roaming around the woods every night she needed to know.

Chloe quirked an eyebrow, "Why are you so interested?"

Beca averted her eyes and swallowed, "Sorry if I'm being invasive.."

Chloe smirked, "It's not a big deal. But yeah, he leaves every night but he never tells me where he runs off to."

Beca nodded and walked back over to the bed just as Chloe began to crawl to the head of it to position the pillows against the headboards. They both laid against them and Chloe placed the laptop on both their legs, shuffling over into Beca's side which made Beca crack a smile.

"What are we watching?" Beca asked in a soft voice, feeling her arm being squished but she thought throwing it around Chloe would be weird even though it seemed like the only way for her to avoid a numb limb.

Chloe tapped away at her laptop, "It's a movie called Imagine Me and You. One of my all time favorites."

Beca scrunched her eyebrows, "Never heard of it."

"Then you're in for a treat, Mitchell." Chloe clicked play and they both made themselves comfortable as the intro music started.

Jesse was sprawled across his couch with an open bag of chips on his chest and a remote in his hand, his head was tilted to the side, eyes trained on the tv screen. He was home alone, Nick was once again called in to the station so that left Jesse to fend for himself for the remaining of the evening.

The commercials once again ruined the flow of his show and Jesse took the moment to head back over to the kitchen for a drink.

After pouring himself a glass of water, Jesse leaned against the island and took a few sips. There was a knock on his door when he finally placed the glass down on the counter.

Glancing over at the clock, Jesse frowned and walked over.

"Who is it?" Jesse called out until he reached the door, unlocking it and opening it enough to peek through the gap. Before he could complete the peeking part of that process, the door was shoved forward and a body dashed inside.

"Ah! What the-"

Jesse felt a hand on the back of his shirt and then he felt a tug until the intruder led them into the hallway adjacent to the front entrance.

His body was then shoved against the wall with a balled fist clenching on his chest.

"Luke!" Jesse exclaimed.

"Where is she?"

"Who?"

Luke smacked the wall beside Jesse's head and huffed.

"Jennifer Lopez." He said sarcastically, rolling his eyes.

Jesse pursed his lips, "I don't think this is the neighborhood in California where you see random celebrities-"

"Where...is Beca." Luke let his fangs bare from between his lips and snarled.

Jesse gulped and held up his arms in surrender.

"Alright alright. She's uh..at a friends house. Why?"

Luke narrowed his eyes, "Why is that hard to believe?"

Jesse blinked, "I'm not her only friend, dude."

"Where is she." Luke repeated, trying to keep his tone calm.

Jesse wasn't sure if it would be a wise choice to tell Luke the truth. His conscience was pointing more towards making up a lie. He was good at that, most of the time. Normally, he resorted to rambling on different excuses until the person either lost interest or just simply got irritated with him.

"Why do you need to know?" Jesse asked suspiciously, raising an eyebrow and parting his lips.

Luke clenched his fists, "I stopped by her house and she wasn't there."

Jesse clicked his tongue, "So is Dr. Hale making house visits now?-" Luke tightened his grip on his shirt and growled, "Woah-ho-ho..okay."

"Tell me where she is."

"I can tell you where's shes not. Would that help at all?"

Luke gritted his teeth until he suddenly came to a realization.

"Is she with that girl? Chloe."

Jesse froze, "No."

Luke simply nodded at the reply and darted his eyes around, "Did you hear that?"

Jesse frowned, "What? I don't hear anythi-"

"It's the sound of your heart skipping a beat," Luke leaned closer to Jesse's face, "It's the sound of you lying."

Jesse remained silent so Luke continued.

"You know the affect Chloe has on her, Jesse. If she loses control, Beca will hurt her."

Luke pushed himself a step back, giving Jesse a knowing look before letting himself out.

Jesse stood there, releasing a breath that he didn't know he was holding.

"Shit.."

They were nearing the middle of the movie when Beca felt Chloe's finger brush against her leg. It was a small gesture, probably wasn't even a gesture at all but it still sent a shiver down her spine. Beca tore her eyes away from the laptop screen and looked over to the side, trying not to be obvious. She took a moment to appreciate all the little features of Chloe's face. From the side, Beca could make out the shape of a scar on Chloe's forehead and the way her lips would part occasionally. Beca took notice of how Chloe's hair swayed down to rest on her shoulders, various stray strands of red hair would settle on the base of her cheekbones and Beca's fingers just itched to push them behind Chloe's ears.

"You're staring."

Beca snapped her eyes back to the screen, cheeks flushed.

"Sorry." She mumbled.

Chloe turned away from the screen and looked at Beca.

"Did you lose interest in the movie?"

Beca shook her head, "No no. I just uh..um."

Chloe smiled softly, encouraging Beca to continue but Beca smiled back because she felt obligated to, like Chloe's smile was contagious and it brought her to a daze that she never wanted to get out of.

"You're really pretty." Beca said finally, it was more like she was thinking out loud because when she heard the words flow off her tongue, Beca blinked out of the daze and blushed.

Chloe giggled and bit her lip, "Well you're beautiful."

Beca smirked and just like that, the movie was long forgotten as Chloe began to lean into Beca's side, her head beginning to near Beca's. Their eyes flickered to each others lips as they continued to lean in until the excruciating wait for affection was over. Their lips collided in the most gentlest of ways and Beca was beginning to think if they even touched at all, the feeling was so light and just so natural that she felt the need to lean even further to get the most of it.

Chloe responded the way Beca was hoping she would. She wrapped her arms around Beca's neck, tangling her fingers in her brown hair while simultaneously cradling Beca's head to keep her in place. Beca felt a relief when she was finally able to move her numbing arm, resting it around Chloe's waist while her other hand laid on Chloe's thigh.

Chloe pushed her laptop aside and positioned herself on her knees while keeping their lips connected. She inhaled through her nose before swiftly shifting onto Beca's lap, straddling her date and loosely hanging her arms around Beca's neck.

Beca pulled away and released a growl, that somehow didn't register to either of them, and began to kiss her way to Chloe's neck, her lips searching for the sensitive spot. Chloe sighed contently, her bottom lip slid into her mouth, her teeth raking it back out when a soft moan escaped her lips. She felt the tip of Beca's tongue dart out against her skin in just the right place followed by a quick nip with her teeth.

Beca then began to feel like her chest was contracting, it was a pressure that made her eyebrows scrunch in discomfort. Her hand then slammed to the side on the comforters, balling her fist and clenching the blanket in her hand. She released the blanket and shot her eyes open, they glowed bright and her vision turned red. The sound of Chloe's rapid beating heart overwhelmed her, the strong scent of Chloe's perfume flowed into her nose. Beca pulled away from Chloe's neck when she felt her fangs poke the insides of her lips.

"Chloe, honey."

The tip of Beca's ear twitched back at the sudden voice coming from the stairs in the hallway. There was no way Chloe heard it judging by the lack of reaction. Beca let her claws slide out before tightly clenching her hand, biting back a cry of pain when they cut into her palm.

Pain makes you human, is what she kept repeating in her head.

When she felt herself shifting back to normal and the bleeding punctured holes in her palm began to heal when her claws retracted, she pulled away to lean against the headboard and looked forward at Chloe.

"Your mom."

"What-?"

"Chloe?" Samantha called out from the hallway.

Chloe raised her eyebrows at Beca before crawling off of her and settling herself beside her date, leaving a good enough distance between them.

Samantha opened the door and smiled at the girls.

"How's everything going?"

"We're fine, mom." Chloe chuckled lightly.

Beca smiled awkwardly at Samantha.

Samantha nodded, "Alright. I'll be downstairs if you need me."

"We'll try not to." Chloe muttered, sending a subtle wink to Beca.

Once her mom shut the door, Chloe turned to Beca and looked at her with a questionable expression.

"Can I ask you something?"

Beca shifted so she was fully facing Chloe.

"Anything."

"Why do you feel so inevitable..?"

Beca smiled and leaned in, immediately finding Chloe's lips with her own. It was quick and not so intense as the previous one but both girls felt what needed to be said.

When she pulled away, it occurred to Beca that she did in fact need help. Chloe had an affect on her and it was beginning to get harder and harder to control the more time they spent together.

"Beca."

Chloe frowned at the worried look on Beca's face.

"What's wrong?"

Beca licked her lips and tilted her head, "Um..-"

"Her father wants to kill you, remember that. Meet me in the woods in ten minutes."

Beca sighed once she sensed that Luke left the area. She looked over at Chloe and bit her lip.

"I totally forgot I have uh..a paper due tomorrow and I haven't even started it."

Chloe chuckled, "You're such a good student."

Beca smirked at the sarcasm and smiled softly, "I had a good time."

Chloe nodded, "C'mon, I'll walk you out."

They walked downstairs where Samantha had been standing in the kitchen with a mug nursed in her hands.

"Beca, leaving so soon?"

"Yeah I forgot I had homework to do." Beca smiled sheepishly.

Chloe opened the door once Beca said her goodbyes to Samantha. Chloe closed the door behind her and leaned against it while her eyes darted between Beca's for a moment.

"I had a good time too."

Beca smiled and ducked her head, lightly scraping the tip of her boot against the concrete. When she saw Chloe's feet stop in front of hers, Beca lifted her head only to find Chloe centimeters apart from her.

"This 'taking it slow' thing seems unnecessary." Chloe spoke softly.

Beca reached out and laced their fingers together, looking down at their joined hands. They were inevitable. Beca could tell and she didn't need heightened senses to figure that out. But there was something keeping her from fully committing to starting something with Chloe. Before they could get anywhere, Beca needed to learn how to control her shifting. Until then, Beca thought it'd be best if they kept things the way they were now. Even though they already acted like they were exclusive, Beca needed to tone things down a bit for the time being.

"Wouldn't it be better to work our way up to something rather than jump into it?"

Chloe smiled, "You know, I love the fact that you're so old fashioned. It's refreshing."

Beca leaned in to give Chloe a kiss on the cheek but just as she came close enough, Chloe moved her head to the side and caught Beca's bottom lip between hers. She raised her hand and cupped the werewolf's cheek, lightly stroking it and cherishing in the way her heart fluttered as she let herself sink deeper into all that was Beca Mitchell.

Chloe pulled away and rubbed her lips together as she looked at Beca with pure adoration.

"See you tomorrow?"

"See you tomorrow." Beca replied, giving Chloe one last smile before turning on her heel and walking towards her car.

When she slid inside and turned on the ignition, her phone that was in her front pocket began to vibrate. She pulled it out and answered the call, putting it on speaker when she propped it in the cup holder just beside her as she began drive towards the woods.

"Hello?"

Thank god- okay, where are you?

"Leaving Chloe's. What's up, Jess?" Beca scrunched her eyebrows at the panic tone in Jesse's voice.

Luke. Did he show up by any chance?

Beca sighed, "He did, actually. It's why I'm leaving. He told me to meet him in the woods."

Because an average meet up in Starbucks is too mainstream for him? God, I can't stand that guy. Anyway, be careful.

Beca ended the call and sucked in a deep breath as she turned the corner just as the towering trees of the woods began to come into view.

After parking her car, Beca walked around the perimeter of the woods, looking for a scent or indication of where exactly Luke wanted to meet her. She found a path and made her way through the woods. Beca let her eyes glow when she reached a particular spot in the woods where a shift in the air around her triggered something in her. Luke was near and she felt the need to be cautious.

Luke emerged from behind two sets of trees, the light from the moon illuminated off his leather jacket as he leaned against the tree.

"Took you long enough, mate."

Beca turned her head and glared at Luke, "Can we get this over with?"

Luke quirked his eyebrows and pursed his lips as he walked over to Beca. He reached into the pocket inside his jacket and pulled out a slip of paper.

"Before we get into anything..here."

Beca took the paper and opened it, "What is this?"

Luke nodded for her to read it and waited as she did.

Beca read through what looked to be a death certificate, scrunching her eyebrows when she read her mother's name on the top.

"Why are you showing me this.." Beca asked, slightly annoyed that Luke had the audacity to remind her of her loss.

Luke walked over to her side and pointed at the cause of death.

"Your mother died in a car crash, right? With claw marks on her?"

Beca nodded, not exactly understanding why any of this was relevant.

"Yeah. And?"

"I'm sure by now you're beginning to understand that it wasn't a mountain lion."

Beca averted her eyes, "It's crossed my mind."

Luke nodded and sucked in a breath, "Good. It should because you've met the werewolf already. Your mom didn't die in that car crash. She survived it. The thing that killed her was the Alpha."

Beca frowned, "The alpha?"

"The one that bit you." Luke gave Beca a moment to process this information.

Beca ran her hand down her face and sighed, narrowing her eyes at Luke.

"How do you know this?"

Luke took a slight step back, "I was there that night.."
