Sports all day, really need a way to relax. And to my fans who enjoy Jacob as a big brother as much as I do, don't get upset at the beginning, it will get better, I promise. Oh, and my life is basically reading fanfics, and writing them (lame I know, but still) and I would love to read some more (my endless list isn't so endless) So if you wrote one, or have a favorite one, I would love it. Right now I'm into Twilight ones, but no Edward parings. I just hate him. Alright, if you review the name of the author or the story, I will read it! Thanks guys!

Mia's POV:
"What the fuck? I open up to you, tell you my most painful secret, and you lie to me with this bullshit?" I lost it, and screamed as loud as I could at him. What the fuck kind of brother lied with something like this?
He turned me so that I was only facing him, and everyone else was behind me. "Mia, why would I lie to you about this?"
Damn. Can't argue with that. Why would he lie to me? He had no reason to, like at all. But still… "I don't know! Why do people lie about anything?"
"To protect the ones you love, but I'm not lying right now. I'm telling you the truth. And we can prove it too." He gave me a weak smile, and looked over my head and nodded to someone. He then gripped my shoulders firmly but gently to stop me from turning.
"What, is one of you guys going to become a werewolf right now?" When he gave me a weak smile, I knew that was his plan. I looked up at the moon, and saw it was only a half moon. "Read up on your fairytales, Jake. It's not a full moon."
"Don't believe everything someone tells you." I heard a weird sound behind me, and just as I was about to turn, he looked at me closer. "You're not a fainter, right?"
I shook my head quickly, and then felt Paul move up behind me, putting his hands were Jake's were right after he moved them. "There's a first time for everything." He whispered softly in my ear, and then turned me slowly before I could curse him out.
There, standing only a mere five yards away was one of the biggest creatures I had ever seen. It was the size of a bear, looked like a wolf, and its eyes were full of so much emotion. Emotion that only a human can show and feel.
Scanning the group, I quickly took roll call, my eyes wide. Suddenly, it all clicked, and I turned my attention back to the wolf, or werewolf I guess, which was not moving at all. "S-s-s-Seth?" I suddenly acquired a stutter, but I guess with my utter fear, it made sense.
The wolf nodded slowly, and sat, clearly trying to look harmless, but I was still terrified. It's Seth you moron! He is the one that you said is your friend. Deal with it! Taking a deep breath, I agreed with the inner voice.
I slowly began to walk toward the sandy furred wolf, taking each step as if I was walking on the moon. I could tell that Paul was right behind me, each step. Slowly, I knelt down next to Seth and he bowed his head.
"Y-you won't hurt me, will you?" I whispered. I gulped forcing myself not to quiver if I could help it.
He looked at me with brown eyes that were so friendly, and he slowly shook his head no. I heard Paul growl behind me, and I looked at him. Raising a shaking hand, I reached his forearm, and placed my hand on it. Was I maybe giving him the wrong message? Yes. But I needed support right now, and Jake was too far away.
Paul looked down at me and whimpered, but then knelt next to me, closer than I would have liked, but I said nothing. I turned back to Seth, and gently ran my hand through his shockingly soft fur. His eyes were on me the whole time.
I turned my attention to Paul, but continued to slowly pet Seth. "So, you're all werew-" I couldn't force out the rest of it.
He nodded slowly, but looked at me closely. "Mia, we protect people. We are the good guys; it's the bloodsucking leeches that are the bad ones. We phase when we're angry, not when there is a full moon, or if we need to run patrols and whatnot. This is part of our history, part of our legends…"
Standing up, I ignored the mud that clung to the knees of my jeans, and looked around. "Is it just the boys?" I muttered. Kim, who was clinging to Jared like her life depended on it, looked too fragile to be a wolf. Emily had been hiding behind Sam, and her scars made me doubt she was a wolf.
"Typical. Always think it's a boy thing." Shit, I forgot about Leah. She stormed up to me, pointed a shaking hand in my face. "You got a lot of nerve, bitch. Come to our land, affect my family, and learn our secret? Who the fuck do you think you are?"
At first, I was too shocked to say anything, but after Paul muttered, "Leah, back off," and when Seth paced in front of her, something in me clicked. I was not a weak little bitch. I might be alone in the fact that I no longer had Caden, my love, but I have a brother and at least one friend to back me up. And Paul…well I don't know about Paul. Sometimes he's nice, other times he's a jackass.
Standing, I shook myself out of Paul's grip, and glared at her. "Leah, who the fuck do you think you are? First off, this isn't your land, it's the tribe's. Affect your family? They are my family now too. And for the secret? You will just have to deal with it. So fuck off, pull out the tampon, and leave me alone." I put as much power behind the last three words out as I could.
Quil walked up behind me, and gave me a high five, standing behind me, figurative and physically. Someone actually started to clap!
Leah rolled her eyes and glared at Paul. "Keep your fucking imprint away from me, or she won't come back." Paul started to shake, and Quil held him back. Then Leah gave a devilish smirk, turned on her heals, and stormed off.
Turning to the trembling Paul, I was shocked. "What is an imprint?"
Suddenly, he stopped shaking completely and just looked at me. "Just ignore Leah." Well that answered a shit load. But I was too confused to argue.
I turned to Jake, and opened my arms. He got to me inhumanly fast, and pulled me into a hug, and I sunk into his embrace. "I'm sorry I yelled at you. I didn't know."
He chuckled. "I know. Trust me, I didn't at first either. And there is a lot more to know…"
I pulled back and looked at him. "Can we talk about it a later time?"
Laughing again, he smiled at me and nodded. "Of course, Mia. We have plenty of time."
I heard Paul growl as I was pulled into another one of Jake's hugs. I turned and looked at him.
"Paul, I don't have the energy for this right now. Jake is my brother, and I have no fucking clue why you keep getting so overprotective. And I don't exactly want to know right now. It's just too much. But I just lost the last person that linked me to Caden, and I don't want any more fucking drama today. Just get me home, please." I felt tears attacking my eyes again, and blinked them back.
He hung his head in defeat, but answered, "Alright. I understand."
Seth appeared behind me and gave me a quick hug, but I could tell he was watching Paul the whole time. "I'm glad you know now, Mia. Now everything can be more open." He smiled, gave a nod to Paul and Jake, and then ran off, to find his bitch of a sister, I'm sure.
Jake slid his arm over my shoulder, in a brotherly way, and started to lead me towards Paul's car. "Come on, Mia, time for you to get home and go to bed. First day of school tomorrow."
Rolling my eyes, I sighed. "Shit! I didn't get the paper work filled out." This was going to be a hell of a time getting this all to work out.
"Don't worry. We're family now, all of the pack is. We will help you through it all." I liked the sound of that. Now I have a family. This might work out after all.
