Jasmine's POV
"Chance!" I giggle, trying to effortlessly stop his roaming hands. "Stop it! You know I am extremely ticklish!"
"What if I don't want to stop? I like seeing you all flushed." He whispers suggestively, brushing his lips against mine. I shiver in pleasure from the contact.
God, I cannot get over how sexy he is. Even though we have been together for a few months now, I can't help but still feel like I did when we first. Which was actually only two weeks ago. I would normally feel embarrassed about wanting to go slow with this part of the relationship, but Chance felt the same way.
He seems like the typical bad boy who goes through girls like water, but in reality, he is just as new to this as I am.
"Traitors!" I exclaim at the pack members that we are hanging out with. They are just standing around us, watching with smiles on their faces. "What happened to chivalry?!"
Mark scoffs. "Please, you know you enj-" John smacks him on the back of the head, cutting him off mid-sentence.
"Leave her alone." John says.
Just then, I hear my name being called. I look over to where it came from to see Melanie and her brothers walking this way.
Everyone goes quiet at seeing her, I roll my eyes at them. The boys rush over here while Melanie walks timidly, keeping her eyes on the ground. I hate how the others are treating her, it isn't her fault that Edward came to the reservation.
"Jasmine. I need to talk to you." She whispers, biting her bottom lip. I look at Chance and he nods; I go off with Mel.
Melanie's POV
"I told Edward about Sarah." My voice cracks.
Her face softens and she grabs me into a tight hug. "How did he take it? Was it bad?"
"No, he took it pretty well." I whisper.
"Then why are you crying?!"
"I don't know!" I exclaim, more tears fall down my face. I feel like a leaky faucet...
She just rubs my back soothingly and waits for me to speak again.
I take a deep breath. "I know I should be happy, but thinking about her hurts. I killed her-"
"You didn't kill her" She says firmly. "The drunk driver did."
I shake my head fiercely. "But I still feel responsible. And now that Edward knows... It makes me feel even worse!"
"You should be talk to Edward about this, Mel." She says, her voice full of sympathy.
I take a deep breath, trying to calm myself down. "I know." I whisper before looking over the distance at the twins. Cole's sitting by Eliza and Eric is laughing at some joke Leah made.
Sighing, I walk back over to them with Jasmine at my side. Eric pats the seat beside him and I smile. "Sorry bro, I can't stay. Got to go talk to Edward." I leave the reservation and head over to the Cullen's house.

Once I knock it only takes a few seconds before Esme opens the door.
"Mel! This is a nice surprise! Come in, come in!"
"Thank you." Once I am in the living room I speak again. "Is Edward home?"
She nods. "Yes, he just got back from hunting." She goes back to cleaning the piano and within a few minutes Edward is walking down the stairs.
"Hello love." He smiles as he walks over to me.
"H-hi." He pulls me in for a chaste kiss, I blush since Esme is still in the room. "Edward not in front of your mother." I whisper, they both laugh.
"It's alright Melanie, I am used to it. Rose and Emmett live here, remember?" I smile shyly at her response.
Jasmine's POV
"Jaz!" I jerk my head over toward John, who is running towards me.
"What is it? I have to be at Chance's house soon." His back straightens at Chance's name, not liking the fact that I got my imprint before he did.
"I was patrolling the borders with Shiloh when I caught an unfamiliar scent.''
"What is it?" I ask.
"I don't know, but this thing isn't alone."
"What do you mean it's not alone!?"
He sighs loudly. "I mean it has a buddy, Derek said he ran into a different one the other day." My eyes widen in shock.
"You mean this thing is what attacked him?"
"Yes."
"What do we do?"
He shakes his head. "We need to make more patrols."
I nod. "Of course!" My mind immediately turns to Chance, who has no idea about any about any of this and tends to stay out late on weekends. He is in danger half the time and doesn't even know it...
"It's going to be okay; we will catch this thing before it hurts anyone else." He says in a calm, but confident, voice. He then walks off towards Mark's house.
Taking out my cell phone, I dial Chance's number.
"Hello?"
"Hey Chance, it's me."
"What's up?"
"I'm coming over sooner than expected. There's something I got to tell you..."
He's silent for a few minutes. "Okay."
Chance's POV
Sighing, I head down toward the living room, waiting for her to show up. I go out to sit in the rocking chair on the porch but the second I step outside; I hear loud growling. I crane my neck to peer into the wooded area on the east side of the house and see what looks to be a wolf.
A giant ass wolf to be more specific. My eyes widen in surprise at the sight of it.
This woman comes up from behind the wolf and hisses menacingly. "Hi there wolfie." I cringe at the sound. I get to see the wolf in its full glory when it turns to look at the woman. It's light brown with streaks of darker browns throughout its coat.
It growls at the woman but she doesn't look phased. "I don't care if your pack comes after me..." The mysterious woman says and then crouches into a fighting position. She has a cruel smile on her face. "In fact, I want them to come."
Suddenly, her appearance changes. Her golden hair fades to pail blonde and her skin turns to sickly green scales. Reminds me of a lizard, or a dragon. Her eyes turn cat eyed and become bright yellow; claws extend from her fingers.
"Oh my god..." I whisper, the wolf then lunges toward the creature. Its jaws go to snap around the creature's neck but she quickly dodges the attack and swipes her claws at the wolf's shoulder.
The wolf yowls in pain, treading back to show several five long and deep gashes going from its shoulder to half down its side, blood seeping out of them. The wolf shakes its head, like it is trying to wring out the pain, before jumping in the air. The wolf then tackles the creature before she has the chance to escape and bites deeply into her neck like it originally intended to do. She releases a blood curdling scream and she thrashes around, trying to loosen the wolfs hold but it just bites down harder in retaliation.
The creature flings its claws around till it has a firm grip on the wolf creating more slashes on its body. But even then, the wolf does not let go of the creature's neck and bites down so hard it snaps her neck.
The wolf let's go and backs away slowly, whimpering in pain. The poor thing just suddenly collapses on the ground. Deciding that it is safe, I head toward the dead creature and injured wolf. The closer I get though; I see the wolf's appearance shrinking and turning human shaped.
Gasping in surprise, I stretch my hand toward the naked girl that is now in the wolf's place. I touch her shoulder and she shifts, groaning. I turn her onto her back and I gasp in shock.
