This chapter might or might not have you hate me, but...well, let's see.

I don't own the Saga. :)

Chapter Ten

The Bauers were avoiding us.

Ever since the fight between Nadia and Alice, they had kept their distance, always watching us as if we'd come and point a finger at them. Alvarez would glance at me every so often, trying to act like he wasn't looking at me, and Nadia was surprisingly very quiet.

Like I said before, they were obviously something. I mean, why else would Nadia turn a 180 unless she was afraid I'd find out her secret. Highly suspicious.

"Bella, are you lost in your thoughts again?" Alice asked as she turned into my neighborhood, her headlights illuminating the pavement before her. Not that it was dark out or anything, in fact we were heading home from school, but the snow was coming down in a fast flurry, blinding anybody who dared to try to drive in it. Of course, Alice wasn't blinded, but she still used her headlights to help her fit in. "You seem to do that a lot."

"Yeah, I was," I admitted, sighing. "I was thinking about how the Bauers are wary of us."

Alice scoffed. "Forget about them, Bella. Right now it's just you and me, and no one else. We should bask in each other's greatness."

I snorted. "There goes your ego again Alice."

"I have to have a high ego to get a hot ass girlfriend like you," Alice stuck her tongue at me just as she pulled in the driveway. "Now, we should go inside and warm up. It is December, after all."

My eyes narrowed into slits. "And you do know mid-terms are coming up," I said before opening my door, not bothering to put my hood up as the snow that landed on my head would melt, and I made my way to my front door, grabbing my key from my pocket. After I unlocked my door, I walked in the house and took off my coat; with my 108 degree body temperature I was beginning to sweat under that heavy thing.

"Aww, Bella, please?" Alice pouted as she walked in with me and shed her own coat, snow sticking to her hair. I guess the snow didn't melt on her like it did with me. "It's been so long since we last made love. Please?"

I shook my head with a laugh before I pressed my hands on top of her hair, melting away the snow that was still there. "And the last time was what, a week ago?"

Alice ignored my comment as she reached for her hair, touching the damp spikes before she pouted. "Aww, Bella, you made me wet!" Alice cocked her head to the side as she smirked. "On second thought, I think that's quite alright."

I rolled my eyes as I walked towards my couch, placing my backpack on the coffee table while I took out my History book. "I've got to study Alice."

Alice jumped over the couch to the seat next to me, sticking her bottom lip out in a way that I knew was her Alice pout. I averted my gaze, as I knew I was no match for the thing known as the Alice pout. "We've got two weeks until finals and you'll do great."

"My mom will be home any minute," I argued, my eyes carefully reading the first sentence as my core tightened in anticipation. I guess it knew that I would succumb to her pleadings eventually.

Aw, hell with it. It was fun to make her suffer, and I knew she'd make me suffer when she would be tongue deep inside me.

"Actually, your dad is going to pick her up from school and take her for a surprise dinner in Port Angeles. They won't be home for three hours. Plenty enough time to make you come ten times."

"Aren't you over-exaggerating?" I chuckled, glancing at her.

Alice shook her head with a smirk. "You know I am awesome when it comes to sexual relations."

"You're awesome when it comes to everything," I grinned before turning back to my book. "But no, I've got to study."

Suddenly I felt one of my hairs being pulled back behind my ear and a pair of cold lips at my neck. I froze, biting my lip as I tried to ignore Alice's teasing. She knew any kiss on my neck would have me reeling for sex. That sneaky bitch.

"I think you really want to," Alice whispered in my ear in a sultry tone, her free hand reaching to touch my inner thigh before I heard her smell the air. "In fact, I can smell that you want it."

Curse her and her enhanced senses being able to smell my arousal. "I don't actually."

Alice took my earlobe between her teeth, grazing it slightly as her hand inched closer and closer to my sex. "Hmm, I think you do."

Screw making her suffer; she was making me suffer. With a groan I closed my textbook, turning to press my lips to Alice's hungrily as the book fell off of my lap and onto the floor.

Alice smirked behind our kiss, my hands reaching for her waist before she deepened the kiss, her tongue entering my mouth. I moaned as her hands reached for the hem of my shirt, grazing my breasts before she did, but I shook my head and pulled apart.

"No, someone could catch us," I whispered, tucking a stray spike of hair behind Alice's ear. "Let's go on to my room."

Alice nodded, grabbing my hand and leading me up the stairs, though we had to stop halfway to make out in the hallway. Eventually we got to my room, and Alice pushed me on the bed before she straddled my waist. She took off her own shirt before her hands went to lift up my own, and I kept my eyes on her bra-clad breasts. I could see her nipple peeking out so my hands quickly flew to her bra clasp and let her breasts free before my mouth took in one of her nipples.

"Bella," Alice moaned, her arms wrapping around my torso. I held her above me, mouth on her nipple, with my arms around her torso, loving the way she tasted. Of course, her juices tasted better, but I'd have to wait for that.

As I moved to her other nipple, Alice undid my bra clasp and tossed my bra to the floor, her mouth searching for my neck.

While in this position, I heard the front door open, so I pulled apart for a brief second. "What was that?" I whispered hoarsely.

Alice shook her head with a smile, pressing her lips to mine as if to shut me up.

"Bella?" I recognized the voice almost immediately. Seth must have gotten in the house.

"Uh," I answered when Alice moved her lips to breasts, and I bit my lip to hide the moan that threatened to escape. "I think you should come back another time."

"Why would I—," Seth said just before he opened the door, his eyes turning into saucers as he took in the scene before him. Yep, Alice was tugging at my nipple, and our bras were on the ground. A nice image for a teenage boy.

Alice pulled back fast, hissing, before she grabbed her shirt and covered her breasts. "How dare you come in and ruin our love making!" she hissed again, her eyes turning into slits.

Seth swallowed hard, glancing at me. I still hadn't grabbed my shirt because Seth has seen me naked before; everybody in the pack had, so why bother? Besides, if I put my shirt back on, then that would be more time wasted before I'd get to sex up Alice. "I didn't mean to, I uh…" God, you could tell that boy was nervous as my mate grew angrier.

"I'm waiting," she huffed impatiently. "You better have a good explanation."

"I do!" Seth swallowed again, glancing at me again as if he was asking me to help him out. I would've helped him out, but I was also slightly pissed at him for interrupting my fun with Alice.

"I swear to God, if you don't tell me in the next second I will neuter you!" Alice growled, her feet moving to the floor as she prepared to make good on her promise.

"I know what the Bauers are!" He shouted out, Alice stopping her advances before raising an eyebrow at me.

My brows furrowed in confusion. "How did you find out?"

Seth breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that Alice the Witch was now intrigued on his news and not his family jewels. "Okay, so you know how I hang out with Keely as a wolf."

I nodded. "And that's the only time she'll talk to you." A week after his almost kiss with Keely on the beach, he snooped around their house as a wolf and came face to face with Keely, who didn't run but merely started to pet him. Needless to say, Seth loved the idea that he could spend some time with his imprint.

Seth ignored my comment. "Well, today, when I was with her, she was talking about joining me and stuff later tonight, since her and her family are going to hunt, and that she would give me a kiss!" And, of course, Seth had a ridiculous grin on his face.

"And what does this tell you about what they are?" Alice pressed, tapping her foot. "Come on, Seth. We don't have all day. Some people are out getting laid, you know, or they were trying to before you so rudely interrupted them."

"Look, I'm sorry about that, but I seriously think the Bauers are werewolves, just ones that need to hunt to survive. I dunno, but they are obviously wolves. It explains the smell, why so many of them are together, and-and-and…well, you know what I mean."

I sighed, and reached down to grab my shirt, putting it on before I spoke again. "Well, we need to talk to Jake and tell him."

Alice pouted. "So no sex tonight?"

I shook my head. "Sorry, Alice, maybe tomorrow?"

"I'll hold you to that," Alice grinned before grabbing her bra and putting on her clothes in a flash. As she walked out the door, she turned to Seth and slapped him across his cheek. "That's for ruining my fun," she winked at me before leaving.

"So now what?" Seth asked, clearing his throat.

"Now, we go to Jake's house."

A/N: Like I said, you can either hate this chapter, or not. Some of you may want to slap Seth, but remember, Seth still hasn't gotten together with his imprint. It's sad. :'(

Next chapter we find out what they are! Yippee!
