When Jacob saw her eyes close, he felt himself panicked, and he quickly shifted back into his human self, grabbing his shorts and putting them on. He lifted Riana quickly from the ground and carried her through the forest, being careful of the branches that stuck out from the trees.

He reached Sam's house too quickly and he could see Emily pacing in the living room through the window. He walked through the front door and carried her into the living room where he placed her on the sofa.

"Oh Jacob wha-oh god what happen to her?" She said when she turned to him but let out a gasp when seeing Riana's unconscious body in his arms. She quickly grabbing a towel from the kitchen and putting it on Riana, covering her lower half.

"Those bastards from school, that's what happened. They try to ra-" Jacob couldn't say what happened to her because even he was trying to deal with what was going to happened to her. He felt fury rage through his body as he couldn't wait to see Darren and Stephen.

"What happened Jacob?" Emily repeated, but the words that came out of his mouth, was nothing she was expecting.

"They try to rape her Emily." Jacob said, shakily.

He felt so weak and ashamed of himself for not protecting his imprint from them. He ran his hand through his hair, letting out a sigh.

Emily's eyebrows furrowed before frowning letting it sink in what happened to Riana. Shaking her head, she stroked Riana's forehead, feeling sorrow for her.

"Oh Riana..."

Jacob shook his head felt himself shaking again. "I don't know what they were trying to do but if I wasn't there, they would have had-"

"I know Jacob." Emily cut in as she saw Jacob was shaking. She sighed. "Just calm down and let's focus on Riana for now, she'll need you when she wakes up."

Jacob nodded, sitting down beside Riana, taking her hand, his pads of his thumbs rubbing her hand, soothingly. His heart ached at the prospect of Riana getting raped.

Oh how Stephen and Darren would pay.

"GET BACK HERE!"

"We only wanna play Riana..."

"Shut the fuck up bitch"

"These lovely ladies promised us some fun..."

"Doesn't that feel good Riana..?"

"You're only making it harder for yourself if you struggle."

"Riana..."

"Riana..." She heard someone call her but it was too overwhelming her, the voices.

"No..." Riana mumbled in her sleep, tossing her head back and forth fitfully. She heard someone call her name again and felt something shake her body; she screamed and started using her fists to fight against whatever was hurting her.

"Riana...stop...STOP RIANA!" Riana stopped as she looked around frantically then her eyes settled onto the figure in front of her. She could make out the outline of it and she focused on it more and soon the blurriness left.

It was Jacob.

"J-Jacob?" she whispered. Jacob smiled a little but still had a corncern expression face. Riana launched herself at him and buried her head in his neck, wrapping her arms around his neck helplessly and soon she burst into tears. "Oh Jacob, i-it was horrible, I was so scared. I-I thought t-they were-" Riana couldn't say it but she sobbed even more, clinging onto him, terrified of her nightmare.

"Sssh, don't say anything. Everything going to be okay. You're safe with me now." Jacob said, soothingly calming down Riana. Riana moved her from his neck and looked at him with her watery eyes. "No one is going to hurt you, anymore. I promise." He said, wiping her tears away the pad of his thumbs.

Riana smiled at his promise and hugged him, loving the feeling of his warm arms wrap around her body tighter. Right now, it felt right, being in Jacob's arms, she felt safe like nothing was going to harm her anymore. But then, something wasn't right and it made Riana pull away from him and look at him directly.

"How did you where I was Jacob?"

Jacob watched her for a moment before looking away from her. He sighed before looking back her face; he couldn't lie to her anymore, not if he wanted to be with her. But he was afraid of how she'd react.

"Jacob?"

"I think it's about time I tell you..." He trailed off, taking a deep breath. Riana's eyebrows puckered and she felt her heart crashed against her chest.

"Tell me what?" Jacob was silent for a moment before finally speaking.

"About what I really am..."

Riana leaned back away from him, looking at him properly. "What do you mean, what you really am, I mean are?" He sighed.

"Have you heard about the Quileute legends?" She nodded slowly at him. "Well...they're true. All what you have heard about the werewolves, imprinting, and vampires."

He paused and he saw Riana stare at him, waiting for him.

"They're true. I-I'm a werewolf Riana, and...you're my imprint."

Riana froze, staring at him wide-eyed, it made sense why he suddenly starting talking to her, wanting her to hang around with him and his friends. The reason why she felt weird away from him and wanting to be near him. No, she thought.

"Jacob, they're just stories...stories, that my mother told when I was little-" She tried to explained to him.

"No!" He exclaimed, making Riana flinch. "They are true, a few years ago, a coven of vampires moved close to Quileute territory and the gene was reactivated in order to protect the tribe." He stated sternly.

Was this some sort of sick joke? Riana shook her head and looked down. I guess he was just like everybody else, trying having fun with freak. How could she be so, stupid. This is why shouldn't be friends with anybody; all they do is lie and let you down.

"Thank you Jacob for telling me that, but I guess the joke is up now isn't it?" She said, bitterly. Jacob's eyebrows furrowed together.

"What?" He frowned. "I'm telling the truth, I…"

"No. Forget it, Jacob." Riana shook her head and turned her head from him, getting ready to leave. "Just leave me alone from now on, okay?"

Jacob glanced around the room and saw Sam appeared in the doorway, with Emily next to him, and gestured for him to go after her.

"I'm not lying to you Riana and I'll prove it to you." He said firmly, grabbing onto her arm and she whipped her head back around to face him, her eyebrows raised as she watched him expectantly.

Jacob nodded and got up and walked outside, where Emily came forward and gave her a long skirt. "Here, I got these for you, put these on." She said putting them on her lap, and went to Sam who followed Jacob outside.

Riana only just noticed that she had a towel covering her bottom half of her body but she quickly put them on, when she was alone in the room and she slowly went outside, and saw Jacob standing quite far from the house, she went to walk towards him but Sam stopped her.

"It's best if you stand here." He said making Riana look at him, warily before looking at Jacob.

Jacob breathed deeply, feeling the familiar shiver in his muscles as his russet skin gave way to thick brown fur and within seconds he became a werewolf and started at Riana. He watched as her face drained of colour, and her pupils dilated and he could see her pulse quicken under the flesh of her neck.

"Wolfe?" She said, faintly before her eyelids fluttered shut and she fell backwards into Sam's waiting arms.

"Well...that went well." He shrugged, as the large brown wolf snorted.

"Oh my god, Jacob stop panicking! You're annoying me as it is pacing around like that." Leah exclaimed as she watched Jacob pace back and forth whilst Emily dab a wet cloth over Riana's forehead as she lay motionless on their small sofa again.

"She fainted and she didn't even hit the ground, she'll come around soon." Emily stated, turning to look at him before continuing to dab the cloth.

"I shouldn't have done it, I should have tried to explain it more rather than show her, especially with what's happening to her." Jacob put his head in his hands. "I could have scared her to death!"

"Get over it Jake; you can't change what's happened, what's done is done." Paul shrugged and then chuckled. "If I were you I'd be more worried about what'll happen when she wakes up and tries to run away. Glad it's not me, that's all I can say!"

"I think she's coming round." Emily noted softly and Riana began to stir. Jacob listened as she mumbled incoherently and tried to push herself up; her level heart beat suddenly speeding up and her eyes popping open.

"Jacob!" She yelped and pushed herself as far back in to the seat as she could go.

"I'm here," He said moving from behind Emily. "I'm right here."

"But what about…and you were?" She stammered, frowning, her eyes darting all around his face.

"I know I changed into a wolf." He grimaced and nodded and she let out a shaky breath.

"Oh god...I thought it was a dream!" Riana said to herself. But then she remembered. "Oh my god, you're actually a Wolf!" He nodded.

"I'm not the only one." Jacob informed her and her head shot up.

"What do you mean? There's more? Who?" She exclaimed.

Paul turned to her in his seat at the table, his tongue hanging from his mouth and panted and Jared growled before grinning wickedly. Leah joined in by scratching behind her ear with her hand, pretending she had fleas.

"That's enough!" Sam scolded, trying hard to fight the smirk on his face. "So far, there are seven of us."

"So far?" She frowned looking at Jacob.

"We're expecting more," Jared shrugged. "two other guys are showing signs already."

"Really? Wow..." Riana slumped back in her seat. She looked at Jacob."Y-you really were telling the truth...I thought you were playing a joke on me..using me. I-I'm sorry I didn't believe you." She said, looking at Jacob who smiled at her before reaching for her hand.

"So I just have a question to ask...was that you last night, who saved me from them?" Jacob nodded.

"Yes, and Quil and Jared was there aswell."

"Thank you, I don't know what would I'd do if they-" Jacob stopped her from talking.

"Hey, it doesn't matter now, all that matters is that we stopped them. They won't hurt no more...not while we're around." Jacob said, stroking her face. Riana looked at everyone and they all nodded and smiled at her.

"Thank you..." She said, feeling tears already come to her eyes again.

"Boys?" Emily said softly, moving towards Sam. "Why we don't leave Jacob and Riana to talk okay?" And she lead Sam outside, making everyone follow.

Some grumbled but eventually left room, leaving Jacob and Riana alone. Jacob noticed that she was fiddling with the end of her top, telling him that she was nervous.

Jacob sighed and nervously looked at her, running a hand through his short hair. "Are you okay? I didn't mean to scare you, I shouldn't have changed in front of you, I could have hurt you..."

"It's okay...Jacob...I'm okay." She smiled at him, before looking down. "What you told me, just changed my life completely, I mean I thought I had an actually wolf friend. But it was just you." She said looking at him making Jacob sigh.

"I know, about that. I...I just wanted to be closer to you without being a stalker or a freak so I chose to be my wolf to be with you, to get to know you better." He said, grabbing her hand making Riana nod. "I'm sorry, it sounds like I was doing it for information about you-"

"No, I understand. I mean, if was me, I wouldn't even know how to get the courage to talk anyone like you. I'm a nobody, I don't have friends well, I'd count Tyler but I don't know how long it will last." Riana continued to babble on until Jacob put his finger to her mouth, stopping her from her ramble.

"Riana...you need to stop putting yourself down or letting people put you down. Like I said before, anybody would be lucky to be friends with you. And I'm sorry I wasn't sooner." Jacob said, feeling regret of not taking notice of her all his school years.

Riana smiled at him before slowing leaning forward and putting her hand on his cheek and she lightly pressed her lips against his.

"Jacob, you said..I was your imprint..." Sshe said, after pulling away. Jacob nodded at her. "So, where does this leave us?" Riana breathed.

"Wherever you want," he shrugged. "Whatever you want is what I want. As long as you're happy..I'm happy."

Riana looked at him, and nodded. She bit her lip before answering him."We...We could try if you want..." She said, smiling at him but she let a laugh when she saw Jacob's face beam at her answer as he had a big toothy grin on his face. "I take that as a yes..?"

But Jacob didn't answer as he slowly traced around her cheeks with his fingers and nuzzled her nose. Soon he crashed his lips onto hers and Riana felt fire course through her body, making her gasp and clutch onto his neck pulling him closer to her. He groaned and took her mouth into is devouring it. Riana hesitantly opened her mouth a little and found him tracing his tongue along her mouth and entering it slowly. She quaked and held onto him tighter, wanting to be closer to him as possible. Then she was suddenly on his lap and he was trailing searing kisses down her jaw, she felt his hands run up and down her sides and her hands was raking through his hair. She became lost in the amazing sensation; it felt like they were perfectly matched for each other. He tasted so sweet and warm…the warmth she felt like she could have lost herself in his warmth.

"Ahem"

They both abruptly stopped and looked where the familiar voice came from. At the doorway, they saw the pack looking at him. Sam and Emily were giving them 'the look'.

Riana quickly got off his lap and sat down beside Jacob, who was staring at them almost glaring. But Riana's face went red as a tomato from the embarrassment.

"Jacob, I think we better take Riana home before her dad gets more worried." Sam said, looking at Riana then Jacob.

Riana looked quickly at Sam about taking her home and remembered and she shook her head at Jacob. "Oh I can't stay home, my dad working and he's coming home tomorrow evening. I don't think I could be alone, after…that." She said, grabbing onto Jacob's hand, looking at him deperately.

"Well, you can stay here then Riana. I'll go get some sheets and pillow for you." Emily said, walking away not waiting for anyone's protests.

"Jacob. You, Paul and Jared are on patrol at the border." Sam ordered, making Jared and Paul groan, walk out the door. Jacob was about to get up and follow but Riana held onto his hand making him stopped and look at her. He smiled at her and leaned down to her ear and whisper.

"I'll be back, don't worry." Kissing her forehead, he pulled away and followed Paul and Jared but glancing back at Riana one more time before walking out of her view. Riana sighed watching him go through the door; she turned when she heard someone come into the living room. It was Emily carrying a pillow and some sheets.

"I got your sheets." Emily said lifting them up a little, making Riana smile at her.

"So, Jacob what are we gonna do about them at school?" Jared asked him through their mind link, as they were running through the forest to the border. Jacob tensed almost stopping at the thought of what happened to Riana. He shook his head and growled.

"We're gonna teach those bastards a lesson. Tommorrow." Jacob answered, sternly, making Jared and Paul smirk.

Friday. Darren and Stephen will know the consequences hurting his mate.
