Chapter 21: Us
The Pack celebrated on the ordeal Quileute style. In other words, bonfire at first beach. The fire was alive, the drinks passed around, music blaring, and food kept coming. It was the best time of our lives for the children of the moon and spirit warrior of more than twenty wolves and their imprints. The vampires were leaving after things settle down, starting with the Romanian cover who were disappointed. Next Benjamin and Tia left to check up with Amun and Kebi. No nomad dare stayed a second in fear of the Hound Mashals. The Amazon coven stayed for a while and soon the others went their separate ways or relaxing at the Cullen's house.
I felt more relaxed and relieved that none of my friends and family was hurt. I might have snapped if I lost somebody I cared for to the unexpected. So before leaving with the pack for a bonfire, I gave Bella, Renesmee, and Edward a hug, and a goodbye to the wonder coven a short talk before resting on the beach. Jacob sat next to me, an arm around my waist drink a bottle of beer. Nothing about werewolves was the high metabolism and immunity towards alcohol….at least for the shifters. We Lycans, could control our alcohol except us females who need a limited amount. The pack still hasn't forgotten the spike coke incident and the round of make out to the no-longer bachelors. As Paul snuggled with Rebecca, Embry chatting away with Yvaine, and Quil eating more food.
"You think the hound marshals would've stopped them?" Sam asked.
"I believe we intimidated them," Orion answered taking a sip of his flask of whisky. "Nearly since the Viking found America the Werewolves claimed territory. The Volturi had been bitter on imperialism for centuries. But compromised in giving up the eastern turf to them but I don't think that was the cause to the solution."
"Or to feel lofty when surrounded by giant mutts," Hunter laughed, stealing Orion flask.
"The wolves stopped them definitely." I snickered.
"Sure was," Jacob added.
"Confirmed," Orion agreed. "Who would have expected to see them? Children of the moon are countless species, that some rarely travel in packs. Some barely able to control themselves leading the legends. To see sixteen gigantic unified wolves was a surprised. Caius has been afraid of werewolves. He almost lost a fight to a Lykois a thousand years ago. Let say his pride twas bruised."
"How many werewolves are there?" Emily asked, in Sam's arms. "Are what we see in movies actually true to others?"
"There are more than two hands full of werewolves, Pure and crossbreeds" Yvaine said. "Some weakness, Silver can be an allergy or poison. The loups-garoux from France forbids touching it. Just breathing silver dust is lethal. But some are more into the elements of nature. For example mountain ash. If a werewolf is born near mountains then mountain ash could burn."
"You got that right," I agreed raising my right hand to show a slight pink burn.
"Also mistletoe," Yvaine included. "Religion can be a pain on the plant department. But for every werewolf in the world, Wolfsbane is the deadliest. Unless you nurture it properly that it can become a potion."
"However, since the unfortunate crossfire, Caius has been hunting us down to near extinction. Thus during the dark ages war raged out between Vampire and Lycanthropy, which got you Underworld." Orion said. "Although the battle was between Venpire and Werewolf. Other Vampire races loathe venpire past boarder line. Anarchy I tell you!"
The pack nodded in agreement. There was more to the supernatural than we expect that you actually had to go out to find it. We might not all be Winchesters, slaying monsters. But we all share the same thought that the world is not a safer place. There are things that go bumping in the night either it be a vampire, werewolf, witch, or entity. Either way, the source of fuel was humans since the beginning of time. Only many changed their diet, adapting to their environment. There's always a loop hole, you just need to find it. Like how the Cullen's suggested drinking animal blood or the Lycans spend their full moon adventures for the hunt on game. Although, some species would still hunt humans!
At the end of the bonfire or at least the close PG-13 part, Jacob and I walked down the beach with Embry and Yvaine. Embry taunted he was faster which Yvaine took the challenged and those two took off. Jacob and I chuckled on the lack of maturity on those two. The moon was on the near horizon of being close to the am.
"What now?" Jacob spoke aloud. "All vampire business is over for the Cullen."
"Don't know," I shrugged shoving my hand in my pocket. "Still adapting to everything and we still got senior year."
"And college," Jacob added.
"Did you sign up for the Native American scholarship?" I asked.
"Yeah, just need to send it." He said a bit proudly.
It was nice that Jacob was thinking more for himself instead of others. Not many people in his tribe succeed going to college. So far from what I know, only Rebecca made it with a degree. Sam almost got a full ride scholarship until his phased, Jared had the same predicament. But with the pack expanding as of now, Jared, Paul is considering community college. Same with Quil although the Black packs might not last too long. Not when a third of it imprinted on Lycans who can't age properly after twenty-one.
Suddenly I was swept off my feet, giving a shriek. Jacob was laughing holding me bridal style, "You zone out a lot."
"I have a lot on my mind," I stuck my tongue out at him.
"Like what?"
"Us," I said looking down.
Jacob chuckled setting me down, resting his hands on my hips while looking down at me. "Yeah, us is a good topic."
"What are we?" I asked looking deep into his dark eyes.
"Jake and Dia," he assured. "And probably more?"
I stared at Jacob watching him lean down to let his lips graze my cheek and buried his face in my neck, breathing against my collarbone. I stood there stiffly for a moment and then leaned against his chest. There something different between us, a catalyst effect. We were no longer the pair of kids who wanted fun through adrenaline rush, hanging in the garage to repair thing while listening to the radio, drinking warm soda, and eating cold Pizza. Jacob wasn't the boy who waited while I wasn't the girl who traveled. Whatever our relationship maybe, we were meant to be; friends, siblings, lovers, or whatever. Call it destiny, fate, or whatever we are made for each other.
Jacob lifted his head and slips his fingers through my hair, tucking it behind my ear. We stared at each other in silences. We grin leaning to each other for a kiss. He takes my face in his hands while I wrapped my arms around his neck. We kissed for a few minutes until hearing Yvaine shriek and Embry laughing. Pulling back we saw my cousin drenched running towards us while Embry chased after her.
"You think those two will ever behave?" I asked.
"Got to, he has a bind with her." Jacob announced.
I looked at Jacob surprised which he shrugged. Embry, Embry Call has a postpone bind with Yvaine Lyall. Oh lord, help the wolf now if Hunter or Orion hears about this, if not the Beta leader of the Lyall Clan in Scotland. Sometimes I wonder what the differences the postpone bind was compared to imprinting. Imprinting was love at first sight but a bind is a progress like any relationship which can be optional in the end.
"Let the moon have mercy on his soul," I murmured.
"You can say that again," Jacob snickered about to wrap his arms around me but I dodge.
Oh I'm not going to be so submissive than any bitch. I'm an independent wolf who likes a challenged. Jacob saw this and gave a playful growl before we were all running around in a game of tag. Unfortunately, Lycans are faster than shifters so guess who got tired out before the sun rises.
"Guess Leah was right," Yvaine said leaning over the two exhausted shifter who panted on the ground. "Guess Female wolves are faster than males."
"Couldn't agree more, dear cousin," I chuckle arms cross while shaking my head. "Couldn't agree more."
Embry lifted a hand up pointing a finger at us, "Just you wait-"
"We'll beat you two…someday." Jacob panted.
"That would be the day." Yvaine and I said in unison before giggling luck a bunch of gossip girls.
We got forever, and I'm looking forward to it.
