-1A/N: there is a new pole on my profile to decide the lead male in my new story: Midnight's rose. The choices are Aro, Caius, Alec, Demetri, Felix or Carlisle. You can also vote by reviewing with your choice.

Cassie's POV

I woke in a darkened room. The curtain's were closed but a few cracks of light slipped through, alerting me that it was still daytime. I slipped out of bed and tiptoed to the door. I could hear muffled voices outside. One was Bella, I recognized her tone.

"Bella?" I called. The voices were silenced instantly. I heard feet coming towards me and then Bella came in with another woman. She had long raven hair, russet skin and scars on one side of her face. She had a packet of paracetamol in her hand and a glass of water. That brought to light the realisation that my head hurt, a lot.

"Cassie? Are you okay?" Bella asked.

"yeah, just got a headache. What happened?" I asked, taking the paracetamol and downing them dry. Bella and the woman exchanged glances.

"You don't remember?"

"I…" images flashed before my eyes. The beach, the boys. The wolf. Running. Hitting my head. Ouch.

"That boy! He turned into a wolf!" I said, my voice filling with panic. They sighed and led me into a small living room. I sat nervously on the sofa.

"Cassie, my name's Emily" the woman introduced herself "and I was picked to explain what happened because I understand what you're going through"

"What is going on?" I asked, a single tear sliding down my cheek.

"Paul is a werewolf. I guess you worked that much out. So is Jacob, and the other boys you saw at the beach, as well as my fiancé Sam. He's the alpha of the pack"

"Your marrying a werewolf?" I asked, incredulously.

"Well…it's not like I had any other choice. You see, each werewolf has an imprint. That's like a soul mate but much more intense. I'm Sam's. You are Paul's. That's why he changed on the beach, he wanted to protect you" before she could continue, a tall man came in. he looked tired and stressed.

"Err…Cassie, can I borrow you for a minute or two?" Emily and him exchanged glances. I guessed this was her fiancé, Sam.

"Not a good time, Sam" Bella said, confirming my theory.
"I know. I wouldn't ask unless it was an emergency but nothing I'm doing will get Paul to change back and I'm not sure how much longer I can keep him in one spot" he sounded desperate "Please? If he sees you he might change back" I nodded.

He led me outside, round the back of the house. There was a large empty patch of dirt. The giant wolf was pacing along it. The other boys were dotted around, clearly on guard. As soon as the wolf saw me, he started to dash forward. Sam growled and he froze.

"Go ahead. In your own time" he said to me, smiling. I was a bit freaked out but I forced myself to think of the wolf just as I would an unruly dog. I approached him slowly, one hand outstretched. He craned his head forward and sniffed. I took a deep breath and knelt in front of him. He was huge! I reached up and patted his head, stroking him softly.

"It's okay. Everything's okay" I whispered. He quivered underneath my hand and I felt the fur recede. Soon I was kneeling in front of a muscular naked boy. He reached forward and wrapped his arms around me.

"Thank you Cassie. Oh god, I can't believe I finally found you"

A/N: I thought about adding more to this chapter but that seemed a nice point to stop. Quick couple of question. Do we want lemons in this one? And do we want any babies showing up? (Paul's babies that is).
