Chapter 11
KPOV (About a month later…)
"How are things going with Connor?" I asked Leah who looked up from her magazine flushing red after I'd asked. I smiled, I was thrilled she finally had someone. Even if they weren't dating yet.
"It's going…well. We've gotten to know each other and are pretty good friends. I know he wants more from me, but he's not pushing at all. It's weird," she answered.
"It's not weird Lee, he'll do anything you ask," I chuckled then looked at her seriously, "Have you started to feel any feelings for him?"
"No," she scoffed but her cheeks turned redder. I chuckled but didn't call her on it. She probably hasn't even admitted to herself that she likes him let alone me. Lately both of us had been bored out of our minds, hanging out at my house while the rest made sure vampires were off the Rez. Things had gotten worse over the last month, Seattle was on the news every day with all the killings. There were killings here too with the red-head around trying to get to that one chick. Anyways, this made Jared freak and I now had 24/7 wolf guarding again. When he couldn't do it, he sent Leah no matter how much I tried to convince him I'd be fine. She was bored, but appreciated time away from the rest of the pack. This made Connor happy too. It was hard for Connor to accept that Leah was one of them and could fight without protection. It didn't make him worry any less though. I suppose imprinting does that to them regardless of what the imprintee is.
My dad was almost never home again with all the trouble in Seattle. I was glad he was away for now with all the stuff going on but I hoped he was safe too. Seth and I were back to normal and he came over often again. Sam kept him out of all the fights for now which made Leah and I relieved. I don't know if Leah could handle losing him too.
I was flipping through channels when the door opened. I was shocked to see Jared here already since he usually got back in the middle of the night. However tonight he was going to Jake's crush's graduation party. That's a mouthful. I could tell something was wrong when Leah jumped up like she heard a whistle. The telepathy thing was irritating since I was the only one now who had no clue what was happening.
"Something happened?" I asked worried.
"The Seattle situation. Apparently it's not random. There forming an army. A newborn army, and there coming here which means…" I didn't really hear all of the words after that. I just knew it meant one thing; Jared was going to be in danger, more danger than usual.
He explained and Leah said bye to us heading home. I just sat there stunned.
"They'll be here in a few days," he sighed and plopped down next to me on the bed, "It's gonna be okay though, Kim. You'll be safe and your dad too after this."
"What about you?" I stood up suddenly angry. Not at him but the whole situation. "Why should all of you, why should you and Leah risk your lives to save a dumb human who decided to be with a vampire of all things?" I scowled.
He stood up too, "Kim, this isn't just about her anymore. People here, in Forks, will die if we don't do something. Everyone, our friends our families. We have to fight. It's our destiny. It's why I was born with this gene, to protect the humans and people I care about."
I stared at the floor fighting back tears. I knew he was right. He couldn't not fight. I just hated it. His hand brushed some hair behind my ear and I lifted my head and took in his beautiful face and shirtless torso. This wasn't fair.
"I promise you," he took my hands in his, "I promise I will be careful, I'll be smart, and I'll look out for Leah too. I won't do anything reckless." He didn't promise he wouldn't die but he couldn't anyway. He was a wolf but that didn't make him immortal.
A tear trickled down my cheek and he wiped it away with his thumb. "Please don't cry," he kissed my forehead gently making my face flush. I tried to get it together and I wiped my face. I wasn't helping anything by crying, I was just making him feel worse because there was nothing he could do to fix it.
I sighed, "How was the party?" I sniffed changing the subject.
"Pretty boring. Lame music, and it reeked of bloodsuckers," he said and I chuckled. He smiled, obviously satisfied he'd made me laugh. God I loved him. I felt the familiar burning in my chest and I leaned over until I felt his warm mouth. If we didn't have much time left together I was going to get the most out of all the time we had before the fight just in case.
He kissed me back the same way, full of desire that had been suppressed for the last few hours. I gasped when he pulled away slightly before kissing me again. These kisses were different than ones in the past. They were slow, careful yet intense and making me dizzy with love for him, it was almost like he was showing me how much he needed me. I needed him too. His hand found the back of my neck and he gently held my mouth to his. My tongue connected with his and I nearly lost it and moaned into mouth. My arms were around his neck clinging to him.
He pulled back and we caught our breath but still stayed close.
"Kim," he almost whispered and I melted into his arms.
"Hmm?" I kissed his neck and he sighed and tilted his head back for me. After a second we both moved so we lay down together which would make making out easier and we could get closer.
We kissed some more for a little while until he finally pulled back and looked at me. His eyes were dark with a desire I hadn't seen yet and I shivered. "Kim, with this fight and everything I can't handle you being alone without some sort of protection."
"I'll be fine," I downplayed, "I'll hang out with Seth."
"He's coming too. Not to fight but to be a kind of messenger and lookout," his eyes hadn't changed which turned me on in this weird way. I felt heat forming in between my legs and I rubbed my thighs together to ease it.
We sat in silence for a moment. "I need to mark you, Kim. I need you to be safe, otherwise I won't function. I'll go nuts worrying about you while I'm gone."
His words made my heart pound and I blushed furiously. It also made me want him like crazy. I had been trying to get him to go farther with me for weeks, but he always was worried he might phase and eat my face off or something. I understood what he meant though. This was it. This was him finally saying 'yes'. I couldn't breathe but in a good way. I nodded quickly after a second, "Yes," I croaked, "I love you, I…I mean yes," I shut my mouth fearing he might change his mind at my sudden muddle of words.
He smiled and pulled me into a hug, "I love you, Kim. So much it hurts," he replied softly.
I kissed him and knotted my fingers though his hair trying to pick up where we left off before he stopped again.
I looked at him with a pout and he looked serious, "If I hurt you in any way tell me. I mean it. Promise me."
"I promise," I agreed and my lips were on his instantly after.

I wasn't planning on this tonight, but the need was there and I couldn't ignore it anymore. If I didn't mark her soon she might get hurt. It was all I could think about when I found out an army of newborns were on the way here. Even when we were kissing I felt the need to bite her neck. I was a little disgusted by that. It sounded so…bloodsucker-like.
I still made our night together as wonderful as she thought it would be. I kept the utmost self-control yet in our relationship when her clothes were off. I took my time, while this was not my first time it was the first I'd ever felt this way during. It was more than physical satisfaction when we finally were one. A small worry was in the back of my mind since I had no condom but she broke the last ounce of my control when she whispered, "I need you," in my ear. I needed her too.
Her fingers were pressed into my back and her moans were music to ears. I moved slow, so I wouldn't lose it in the first 2 minutes before going a bit faster and deeper each time. I was in pure ecstasy. This was heaven right here. She held onto me tighter, every push was getting her closer to the edge, same with me. My imprint, this girl was my everything.
I growled and my hands dug into the pillows which were my outlet. She felt too good. It was too much.
Our lips met one more time in a hot kiss before she whispered, "Let go with me, Jared. Please, I'm yours." That pushed me over the edge and I groaned and buried my face in her neck. I shut my eyes as my climax hit but when they opened again, I felt half-wolf. She was mine. She was my mate, and I would protect her.
The need to bite her consumed me and I bared my teeth. "Stay still," I managed to say before I bit down on her neck, having no control at this point. This was the wolf in me and I hoped I wouldn't hurt her badly. She moaned loudly both in pleasure and pain as her climax hit her at the same time as my teeth. I tasted a little bit of blood but not a lot. "Jared," she sighed and squirmed beneath me. I growled softy and held her in place until she calmed. Her hand was in my hair tugging softly and I felt myself coming back to normal. I let go and gave the spot a lick and a kiss hoping to ease the pain.

I admit I was scared the bite was really going to hurt but it was the most amazing thing I'd ever experienced. I felt like at that moment I really belonged to him and only him as silly as that sounds.
Of course he was all worried afterwards, "Did I hurt you badly? I tried to be gentle but I don't know what came over me."
I smiled and played with his hair, "I'm perfect. You didn't hurt me at all. Tonight was the most amazing night of my life," my fingers traced over my new mark.
"Same here Kim," he kissed my forehead before warning, "It'll be sore for a few days."
"That's fine," I yawned completely worn out.
"Sleep. I'm not going anywhere," he read my mind as I fell into a blissful sleep.
I am sooo sorry I took so long. Sorry to say this isn't the last chapter. There will be one more. I hope it wasn't too lemony. I tried to keep it rated R LOL. PLZ REVIEW if you are still following. –SB :3
