I was inspired to right more...thanks for the rest of the reviews and thank you Sapphira for giving me that site to get the rest of those episodes for.

Eclipse Chapter 3

Lucas Cates was beyond pissed. Pissed being a mild word to describe that one of the many emotions he was feeling. His hands clenched tightly on his steering wheel, crumpled in one hand was Sophia's letter. The week had started bad and was already getting worse two days into it.

Sunday, his mother tore him a new asshole about what he did to Scott and his lack of control in handling the situation. That was directly after he came home from his all night vigil at Sophia's house hoping to get a glimpse at her in wolf or human form after listening to her moans and screams in pain for hours. When he finally did it as only to hear her tell him to go home.

Today was worse because he got glimpses of Sophia and her changed scent for only a few moments between classes. He couldn't approach her because she was surrounded by humans and he was expressly forbidden to be around her and them together if he couldn't control himself.

He was fine until he walked into Blackstone's class where he was handed a letter form Sophia shortly before Blackstone announce her flip and his surprise test. He opened the letter when he was sitting in his history class. It was the cause of his present state of rage, passion, pride, astonishment and pain before he rushed out of history class to his car and started on the mad drive towards his house to stop Sophia before she left. He clenched the letter tighter, he had read it three times unable to believe what he read by the third time he knew what it said word for word.

'Lucas Cates,

You are presently on your way to history or in history. I imagine Sherman announced my flip to everyone. You weren't there for my flip and that's the way I wanted it. This was something I only wanted to share with my father and no one else but I will let you in one something now one else is to know yet (AND KEEP THIS TO YOURSELF!), unfortunately I'm a white wolf.'

'Unfortunately', the word annoyed him but not as much as 'white' excited him. Sophia was rare as both a person and a wolf just like someone as great as her should be.

'My father explained the significance of the white wolf. Then he told me about Ruby and what being a white really meant. I won't be claimed by the pack not through you or my color not when I can't trust either with my well-being or to be loyal to me as I would be loyal to them.'

Presley flashed through his mind and he knew what Sophia really meant, 'I can't trust you.'

'I want you Luke. I want to mate with you, sleep with you and more importantly I want to trust you enough that I don't have to wonder if you're being faithful to me when I turn my back I don't trust you so until I do everything I want with you is nonexistent.'

Lucas was upset and hurt by this but from the paper he could smell Sophia's pain and that hurt him more.

'I care for you a great deal but I wonder if Presley is right that I'm a novelty for you once you've slept with me, I'll once again be the half-breed zoo-bait white, that everyone loved to hurt since your big flip 2 years ago and before my change this year.

I timed this letter perfectly so by the time you get to this point I'd be at your house having a similar but more forceful conversation with your mother. Mating with me ensures your Alpha position and I'm willing to help both you and your mother protect this position provided a few things are met my way on your part. I'm not asking for anything hard so discuss it with your mother, she knows what I'm talking about.'

This worried him, Sophia wasn't like this she wasn't this aggressive it worried him. He hoped nothing happened during this conversation between his mother and Sophia.

'Let me tell you this though, the claim you placed on me I now place on you. There are people throughout the school watching you, in town, the lodge, even the woods. These people are there to report to me if you are with Presley or any other bimbo in any way, shape, FORM. You wanted to place restriction on my life before my flip, I'll place them on you now.'

'If any report I get indicates or I even smell a female on you, your clothes, in your room or on your locker. I'll mate within someone else...both Sean and Randy are pretty hot, you know.

If I don't I'll willingly mate with you when I get back Thursday provided you agree to my terms.

Love, Sophia

BTW don't go looking for me Thursday I'll find you.'

Luke sped into his driveway causing the breaks to squeal as he sped to a stop. He jumped out and smelt Sophia scent in the air -- challenge, lust and fear were most dominant. The scent still lingered meaning he just missed her by no more than 30 minutes. Stalking towards his door he was a paper taped to it addressed to him written in Sophia's hand.

'Luke,

I hope you didn't kill yourself driving too fast because you wouldn't have caught me no matter how fast you drove. Didn't you think I had this planned perfectly.

XOXO
Sophia'

The paper folded beneath his hand as he reached for the knob and slammed his door open.

"I take it the young Miss Donner got to you as well," his mother said from the stairs.

"She challenged me!" Luke bit out holding the two papers in front of him.

"Do either of those explain why she was here?"

"Vaguely." Luke answered with a sight, "I don't know what's going on with Sophia she isn't normally like this."

"How would you know?" His mother asked him.

"I know Sophia, Mother. She is my friend."

"Really," Matt Donner's voice drawled from behind them. In their door way stood Matt and Sherman. "When would she have known that? You weren't her friend when you first flipped and called her a half-breed. When her grandfather died last year and I was unreachable. She had no one to call she couldn't call you because no one on the hill wanted to be tainted by having a half-breed friend that was more human than wolf." Matt took a deep breath, "for some reason Sophia still wants you."

"This conversation can wait till later. Right now I need to talk to the three of you about Sophia and her dream. Did Sophia tell any of you about her dream?" When they all answered negatively, Sherman shook his head, "we better head to your office, V." Vivian nodded and led the way closing the door behind Sherman as she entered. Sherman sat quickly and pulled a book out of his suitcase and motioned for everyone to sit. When he had everyone's attention he carefully explained Sophia's dream. He flipped through the book and turned it to the pages that displayed Sophia's dream. "A long time ago one of the old keepers drew this from a vision they had. It says that wolves are of the night but the day belongs to the humans so the wolves took their form and tried to blend in during the day but they never truly could." Sherman turned the page to reveal a picture of an eclipse, "The eclipse represents a wolf that feels lost from the pack so tries to seek a place among the humans but they lose there as well when both options fail there is only two choices left. When Sophia saw this it was a white wolf...there are only two white wolves in our pack." Sherman stopped their with a dramatic pause causing Matt to break the silence.

"Dammit Sherman! Stop with your dramatics and tell us what those fucking choices are!"

"Go off and Die alone or creating a place for themselves within the pack." Sherman answered solemnly his age written in his voice.

"Ruby's gone off and Sophia is challenging...what does this mean?" Lucas asked quietly the two most important women in his life were in danger.

"I don't know." Sherman answered "I don't know."
