Sorry for how long it's been since I've updated. I've been super busy with homework and other activities. Unfortunately I'm probably not going to start updating more anytime soon. I have a huge concert coming up that I need to practice for so I will be stretched pretty thin.

Enjoy!!!

Cassidy POV

Wow. That was all I could think. Wow.

The fact that I went to the store for a gallon of milk and some microwave popcorn and came out with the love of my life was completely surreal.

After leaving him in the parking lot I raced home to get ready. It would take about 15 minutes to get to LaPush so I didn't have long. I pulled into the driveway and raced up the stairs to my room in record time. Then I threw open my closet doors and stared at it. How did you dress to go to a werewolf party with the love of your life?

Finally I chose my favorite pair of dark blue jeans, a white long sleeved t-shirt with a turquoise t-shirt over that, and my favorite pair of brown boots. I quickly brushed through my hair and put on a little mascara and lip gloss.

By the time I had finished with this it was time to leave. I left a note on the fridge telling my parents where I was and rushed out the door.

I think I made it to LaPush in record time. I was extremely thankful that I didn't happen to see any cops. When I reached the little country store Jake told me to meet him at I parked and got out of the car. I was wandering around the store when he showed up.

"Hi," he said.

"Jake!" I practically shouted before leaping into his arms. He laughed and twirled me around once. Then he set me down and asked, "Are you ready to go?"

Immediately I was nervous. What if they didn't like me? What if I acted like a complete idiot? I nodded and we started to walk towards the beach.

On the way we talked about random things. Once we got within a few yards he asked, "Are you sure you're ready? I don't want to push you into something you don't want to do."

"No, I'm fine. Just a little nervous," I assured him. He looked ecstatic and practically dragged me into the little circle of chairs. Everyone looked downright shocked to see me. "You didn't tell them?" I hissed.

"No," he said sheepishly, "I wanted it to be a surprise."

I sighed and walked the final few feet into the ring. "So who have we here?" an old man asked.

"Jakes got a girlfriend. Jakes got a girlfriend," a few boys chanted.

"Did you…..?" an older looking boy asked.

"This is my imprint, Cassidy Morgan," Jake declared proudly.

"Hi," I said.

"It is very nice to meet you," the old man said.

Jake gestured to him and said, "This is my dad Billy." He then continued with introductions. I found out that the chanting boys were his best friends Quil and Embry, and the werewolf that was the first member of his pack, Seth. The older looking guy was Sam the Alpha of the other pack. I also met all of the other imprints.

Surprisingly I found that I fit in really well. This was surprising because normally I'm very shy and keep to myself. We ate hotdogs and chips. It was amazing how much food they could eat. Jake ate about 10.

I also learned things about each of them. Such as the fact that Paul has a terrible temper. Jake jokingly threatened to eat the last hotdog and he almost attacked.

Finally when the sun was just setting over the horizon the group came to order. I could see that there were three leaders; Billy, Quil Sr., and Sue Clearwater. I snuggled in closer to Jake to keep warm as a hush fell over the group. Then Billy started to talk. He told the story of the spirit warriors. Quil Sr. picked up where he had left off and described the sacrifice of the third wife.

The stories were amazing. It was cool to think about how far they could trace their history back. I particularly liked the story of the third wife. I'm sure the other imprints felt the same way about it.

When it was almost time to go I felt Jake suddenly stiffen up. I saw all the others do the same. Paul let out an almost inaudible growl. "What's wrong?" I asked Jake.

"The vampires are close. They're at the boundary line," he hissed back.

He had explained to me about the vampires. I seized up with shock. Of course the evening had to be tainted by this. "We have to go," Sam announced, "Jake, Seth, and Jared come with me. The rest of you patrol the border."

"Emily watch Cass for me will you?" Jake asked. Emily nodded and with that the boys were running into the woods.

"Why can't I go home?" I asked Emily.

"With vampires on the prowl it's too dangerous. You can stay the night with me."

"But my parents won't know where I am," I protested feeblely.

She tossed me a cell phone. "Call them."

I did as we walked to Emily's house. I managed to convince them I was spending the night at a friend's house. We plopped on the couch and Emily turned the tv on. "What now?" I asked nervously.

"We wait," Emily replied grimly.

This was going to be a long night.
