Here's the next chapter. Please read and review.

I've been a werewolf for two weeks and I couldn't imagine happier times. I'm still not used to it all. The new senses, the strangh, the speed and the sense of family. It was a little annoying that Leah was the only other girl and she wasn't exactly the greatest person to talk to either. But I felt wanted and welcomed into the park. All though it was pretty funny to watch the reactions of the guy's when they found out.

"Holy Crap""No way""Shit. Really" Some yelled while others just stood there with their mouths hanging open. "That's the second one. What's does it mean." Embry asked. We were all outside of Sam's house, standing in a circle.

"I don't know. I looked through the legends but nothing says that this ever happened before." I heard Sam say beside me. I was still looking at the surprised faces of the guy's, trying not to laugh. I noticed Leah was slightly detached from the large group of boy. Her expression unreadable as she looked at me.

That was the night I went on my first patrol. Sam didn't want me and Jayden together because he knew that we would be distracted by each others presence but Sam allowed Jayden to come with me for my first time. He, Quil, Jacob and Seth showed me the 'ropes'. Showed me where to run and how to use my new sense to my advantage. They taut me some tricks in fighting and all the nick and crannies of the job. We were out most of the night and was nearly dawn when Jayden crawled in bed beside me. Even though we didn't have to sleep as much as we used to, we were exhausted and fell asleep almost as soon as my head hit the pillow.

What I was most afraid of now was that I was going to slip up and accidentally say something I didn't mean too. I was thankful that I changed when I was out of school but there was still my best friend Thea and her boyfriend, Chris. I played sick for two weeks until she started to get suspicious so I agreed for the four of us to go to the small cafe at the edge of town. I was very nervous as Jayden drove. He held my and made soothing circles on my hand and told me calm down and relax. Even though I didn't get cold anymore I whore a hoody and jeans to try and cover as much of my new muscular body. I calmed down calmed down a lot but when we arrived, I had to fight with panic that wanted to over take me. We entered and found them already sitting at a table looking over the menus. "You okay. Your heart's beating a bit fast." Jayden asked me before me moved toward them. I nodded. As long as I have Jayden beside me, holding my hand I would be fine.

"Hey" I said when we sat down on the other side of the table and tried to put on my most convincing smile. I tried not to notice when two pair of eyes popped out and stared at me. I knew I looked different. Older and bigger in more ways than one but to have them react like that told me just how much.

"Uh! hey. Maya, can I talk to you for a second. I just forgot to ask you something before." I looked at Jayden worriedly. He nodded and squeezed my hand. I took a deep breath before getting up to follow

Thea. I noticed that she was watching me and took a second before she led the way to the door. We walked outside and sat on a bench in the back of the cafe. It was amazing how much taller I was now. I towered over Thea. She looked so small and fragile.

"Maya? Ar-- are you okay?" She asked and looked me over again. I had forgotten how observant she was and started to worry. She was the kind of girl that knew what the legends of the tribe were. I just hope she wouldn't put two and two together. Now that I thought about it, i remember her tell me a story a long time ago about men that turned into wolves.

I hated having to lie to her. All though, technically this wasn't a lie. But still. "I'm fine. Why!" I ask, trying to hid the panic in my voice. This was something I had to master.

She bit her lip."You just look different. Like, you changed so much in the last two weeks that I haven't seen you. I mean, your not doing..." She stops but I know what she is trying to say.

I smiled and said. "Thea. I'm not doing drugs. Don't worry." I say and put my hand on her shoulder. She gasps a little when she feels the heat of my skin through her shirt. I quickly took my hand back and put them in my hoody pocket so I wouldn't do it again.

She points to my pocket. "Yo--your hand. It was so warm. I- I felt it through my shirt." She said bewildered. "Maya. Is Jayden making you do this cause you would never do ..."

"Thea! No." I almost yell, cutting her off." Jayden isn't making me do anything. I not doing drugs either. I'm completely fine and I've been having the best summer of my life and it does not. And I am serious. It does not include drugs." I say and try to smile encouragingly as I could.

She wasn't totally convinced. "But I saw you look at Jayden like you were asking him permission to came talk to me and you say you were suck for the last two weeks but I saw you going to Sam Uley's house. Sam Uley. And now you look so different. So big. Plus you look pretty healthy to me, Maya." She looked at her hands when she said this. "You know the rumours going around about him. Right."

I sigh. It hurt me to see her like this. "They're rumours Thea. Sam is just a good friend of Jayden's and I was sick. What do I have to do to convince you that I'm nit doing drugs and Jayden is not controlling me. I swear I'm not lying about that. You know me better than that." I said and pull her into a hug. I try to only touch her with my sweat shirt. That's when I heard footsteps coming toward us. I looked up to see Jayden and Chris walking to us. Jayden's face blank but I knew him so much that I knew he was worried and he was hiding it from the world.

"You girls ok? You've been out here a long time." He says and I let go of Thea to take his hand. He looks me in the eyes, waiting for my answer. I nod and smile at Thea to tell her that everything really was ok. She takes Chris's hand and force a smile. I want to tell her right then and there but I knew I couldn't. I wasn't telling her for her own good, not mine. She has been my best friend for a very long time so I have to protect her. It's a very dangerous thing to hang around werewolves and by not telling her, I protect her from all the things that could happen around us.

"Yeah. We're fine. Let's go eat." She said lightly but I could she from the corner of my eye, she still watched us very carefully.

Everything went back to normal after that. Well. When I wasn't a wolf that is. I spent all the time I could with Jayden and Thea. Going out to eat, see movies, go for walks on the beach and just goof around. Jayden and I go to the weekly bonfires that the pack had and even invited Thea and Chris a few times. All though it was nice to have them there, it was a bit hard to hide our secret from them and I noticed Thea watching the guy's. Looking at them in obvious amazement at their large forms. She watched me and Leah too, just as carefully. I was afraid she was going to remember that story she told me a couple years ago and catch on to what was right in front of her face. Sam said that we just couldn't do anything we usually did when they were around. We would normally play games like football. Tackling each other for the ball. Anyone who say that would be instantly suspicious because we played very rough. Arms and legs flying every where and one time Emby hit Collin hard enough to send him flying a couple of meters. A normal person would be in the hospital with several broken bones from that one.

Weeks went by and things started to feel normal. I was getting used to be a wolf but Sam was worried about some stuff. There was so many wolfs now and there were signs that the was going to be more. He had this feeling that there was so many for a reason. At the moment there was 16. Him, Paul, Jared, Embry, Jacob, Quil, Seth, Leah, Collin, Brady, Max, Noah, Dean, Travis, me and Jayden. He was uneasy and had us doing extra shifts for weeks so we can keep a look out for danger. No one else felt the same way but when we heard his thoughts and felt his emotions, we sure as hell didn't complain.

One night when Jayden and I walked to our spot in the woods, I was ranting on about how worried I was about Thea. I was sure that she was getting close to figuring it out or at lest confronting me about it.

"I mean, I won't be able to tell her and we have a big fight all because she knows that I'm lying. Or what if she figures it out. I'm just so afraid that something is going to happen to her." I say and look up at the stars. I wasn't cloudy for the first time in a very long time. Jayden pulls me to him and push back my hair from my face.

"Maya, don't worry. It will all work out eventually. She won't find out and you won't have a fight because you don't want it to. Trust me. Give her a few more weeks and she'll get used to you and move on. Now, let's run." He smiled my favorite smile as he said this. I nod and start to take off my cloths. We phase together. I feel the fire ripe me apart to form me into something different. Something bigger and stronger. We run in silence for a while. Running along side Jayden always mad me feel better. It felt natural and cleared my mind of stress and worry. The cool night air going through my lungs and the sounds of the night always calm me down and Jayden knew that. So when ever I was stressed he would loure me out for a run. He knew me so well. I loved him more than anything and he loved me the same way back. I couldn't think of a better person to be with for the rest of my life.

When we arrived at my house at mid night, I was completely stress free and ready too spend our night off with Jayden. We were laughing and playing around when I noticed someone on the front steps. When we got close the someone stood up and I saw that it was Thea. She was waiting for me to arrive.

She stared at the place where we came out of the woods when she said. "Uh...Hey Maya. Can I talk to you in private?" All the happiness drained out of me as I nodded and motioned for her to follow me into the woods. I had to remind myself that she couldn't see as well in the dark as I could so I took her hand led her away. I looked back at Jayden too see him point to the house and head inside. He was probably hungry so he would wait for me inside. We walked a few minutes in the woods until I found a small clearing that had enough moon light that she could see a little better. I tell her to go ahead.

She bits her lip before saying."Maya, please don't get mad but I know your hiding something from me. I don't know what but I want you to know that you can trust me and that you can tell me anything." She says and looks at me expectantly. I don't know what to say so I lean into a tree and play with my hair.

"Thea, I'm not hiding anything from you but tell me what do you think I am." I smile to try and encerige her.

"I... I don't know. Drugs maybe. Please stop lying. You really suck at it." She said. Gaining courige.

I shook my head. I noted that I was shaking slightly and tried to take deep calming breaths." Thea lookme straight in the eye. I am not doing drugs. I never did drugs and I never will do drugs." She does and is surprised by the honesty of my words but that doesn't matter to her. She's too smart for her own good. She still knows that there is something that I'm not telling her.

"Okay. Maybe your not but there is something. You can trust me. You know that right? You can tell me anything."

I nod and say."Of course."

"Than why don't you?"

I shrug."There is nothing to tell Thea. Your overreacting."

She looks down when she says this." I don't think I am."

"Look. Just trust me. There is nothing going on worth saying. It's not what you think." But it's too late that I realize what I said. I basically just confirmed that the was something. I just hope she doesn't notice my slip. I try not to react physically so I don't reveal anything if she hasn't already noticed.

And of course she does." Then what is it. I've been worried sick about you in the last month but you won't tell me anything."

I shrug again."Like I said before. There isn't anything to say."

She rolled her eyes at me and put her hands on her hips. "I noticed Maya. There is something." Dam. She knew me to well.

I look into her eyes and know that I could trust her with anything. Even this but that's not the point. If I tell her then I put her at risk of getting hurt. It's dangerous to be with werewolf. If one got too upset and you were to close than you could get seriously hurt. Or what we do for a living. To get involved with the supernatural world could very well be the most dangerous thing you could do. Imprints find out because their werewolves can't live without them. Also they're supposed to make the perfect 'werewolf babies'. All I want to do is tell my best friend the biggest secret ever.

I start to shake and try my best to contane it."Have you ever thought that maybe I don't tell you for your own good not mine or anyone else's." I say between clenched teeth. My hands in fist at my sides. The shaking get worst and I start to back away from where Thea stood watching my shaking body. "Uh. Have you ever thought of that, Thea?" Her eyes going wide. She started to move closer with her hands rised. "NO! Don't come any closer." She stops mid-step.

I yell and kick the tree beside me which cracks and falls to the ground. It wasn't big but no normal person could have knocked it over let alone not hurt them self. I saw from the corner of my eye that her eyes grow wider and she takes a step back. I shake my head and stare down at my shaking hands. "I have to go." I say and start to go the way we came.

This time she stops me."No, please. Don't go." She says and grabs my arm which she quickly lets go like she was burnt from the heat that radiated off my arm. I lookdown at her and waited for her to saw something. When she finally does, she says it so low that if I didn't have my supper sense of hearing I would have never heard her. She even was surprised that I did too. "W... what is wrong w...with you?"

I sigh. "Do you really want to know?" I ask and she nods."This something you have never seen before and something very dangerous to be involved in. I'm warning you right now that once you know, nothing will be the same ever again." She hesitates but nods again anyway. I look away. Up at the stares. "I'm going to get in so much trouble for this. You know that right." I don't look at her so I don't know what her reaction was.

I walk over to a tree. I sit down and lean against it. I put my face into my hands. I feel her eyes on me. Waiting for me to say something. When I look up I say." I'm a werewolf."

The you go. Hope you liked it. I'm going to try to write the next chapter over the weekend but I have exams to study for so I'll try my best. please review. I didn't get any for the last chapter. So review please.
