Selene and Jared go back to Emily's house at dawn. Sam had told them that they could head home early. Sam wanted to make sure that Paul and Selene didn't cross paths. The last thing he wanted was a fight to break out between the two of them. Jared and Selene said their goodbyes, and they headed to their homes.

Selene was so tired from her run with Jared, but she wasn't going to able to get some proper sleep before Emmett showed up. So, Selene decided that she need the rejuvenation power of the ocean. Selene could use any water to heal her exhaustion, but ocean water was better. It made her feel more powerful as it did for Percy as well.

As Selene walked down towards the beach, she wondered how her little brother was doing. It had been a while since Selene had talked to Percy, and she needed to touch base with him; see how he was doing in school. Maybe when school lets out, Selene would invite Percy to spend some time with her and have him meet Seth and Leah, even perhaps Emmett. She'd have to explain to Percy that Emmett wasn't the type of monster that hunted Demigods.

Making her decision to talk to Percy, Selene stepped into the ocean and stood there while the waves battered against her legs. She closed her eyes and let the serenity and healing properties of the sea refresh her. Selene stood there listening to the song of the sea for a good twenty minutes before heading for shore. She put her shoes on and jogged to the house.

When Selene got home, she went up to her bedroom and grabbed her toiletries to take a shower. When she had showered, Selene wrapped a towel around herself and went back to her room. Selene blow-dried her long black hair then put on her makeup. After putting on her makeup, Selene went to her closet to pick out her outfit. She decided to wear a white spaghetti top with a gold necklace and matching bracelets, a tan and white striped long skirt, tan Hobo purse, and rhinestone sandals.

She looked at herself in the mirror and nodded. Selene thought she looked reasonably well, especially her sea-green eyes. That was her favorite feature of her face. At that moment, the doorbell rang, and Selene looked at her watch; it was 6:00. Selene smiled and went downstairs.

She opened the door, and Emmett was standing there. His eyes nearly fell out of his head when he saw Selene, "Wow, Sel, you look beautiful."

Selene grinned up at her, imprint, "Why, thank you, Emmett."

"I hope I'm not too early."

"No, that's fine. I don't mind. Why don't you come in while I write a note to my mom."

Selene took Emmett by the hand and led him into the house. He sat down on the sofa while Selene went into the kitchen to write a note to her mom. She pinned it to the fridge, then went back out to the living room, "Okay, Emmett, we can go now."

Emmett stood up and walked over to Selene. He wrapped his arms around his mate, "Do I get a kiss good morning?"

Selene smirked and ducked out of Emmett's arms, "Maybe later, if you're a good boy."

Quick as a flash, Emmett caught Selene's arm and pulled her flush against his chest, "No, I think I'll have my kiss now."

"Insistent, aren't you?" Selene said as she wrapped her arms around Emmett's neck.

Emmett lowered his head, "You know it," He whispered before capturing Selene's lips.

Selene smiled into the kiss but kissed Emmett back just as fiercely as he was kissing her. Emmett wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer. Selene ran her finger through Emmett's hair and tugged, causing Emmett to growl deep in his chest. Eventually, Selene pulled away, "I think we should get going."

Emmett placed his forehead against Selene's and kissed her nose, "Yeah, I think you're right."

Emmett let go of Selene, then led her out to his Jeep. He opened the door for her and lifted her into the seat. Emmett helped Selene buckle the harness, and then Emmett got in the Jeep. He turns on the Jeep and drove out of La Push.

"Where are we going?"

"I thought we'd go to Seattle for breakfast then spend the day there."

"Sounds fun."

Emmett grinned at Selene and took her hand in his as he sped down the freeway.

When they arrived in Seattle, Emmett, drove to a diner called Beth's Diner. They went inside and sat down in a booth. A waitress came over with two menus and asked them what they wanted to drink. They both order coffee with cream. Selene looked over the menu and decided to order a ham, mushroom and cheese omelet. Emmett ordered one egg, a slice of toast, and hash browns.

When their order arrived, Selene started eating her omelet, and Emmett would casually add his food to Selene's. Selene would look up at him and raise an eyebrow. He smiled at her, sheepishly, "I hope you don't mind?"

"No, but don't make a habit out of it."

Emmett leaned forward and grinned, "Does that mean you'll agree to more dates with me?"

Selene tapped her lip as if pondering his question, "I suppose I am."

Emmett beamed at his mate, then took her empty coffee cup and gave her his. When the waitress walked by, she filled the coffee cup again. When Selene had finished her breakfast, and Emmett's, they left the diner and headed out to explore Seattle. Since it was going to be a cloudy day but with no chance of rain, according to Alice Emmett, asked Selene if she wanted to watch a baseball game, Selene agreed.

"My dad used to take me to see the Mariners play along with Billy and Charlie when I was little. Leah didn't like going, and Seth was only a baby," Selene informed Emmett as they took their seats along the first baseline.

"So, you like baseball?"

"Not really, I liked hanging out with my dad and his friends and watching their reactions. Now, watching the Seahawks play is something entirely different."

"Ah, a football fan, a woman after my own heart," Emmett said with a chuckle.

"I thought I already had it?"

Emmett stared at Selene. He placed a hand on her cheek and stroked her cheek with his thumb, "Yes, you do," Emmett said, then leaned down and kissed his little mate. Suddenly they heard the crowd cheering and looked up, and they were on camera. Emmett was not caring, kissed Selene one more time then sat down right to watch the game.

Three hours later, Selene and Emmett left the stadium and headed out to get Selene something to eat. After lunch, they explored the rest of Seattle until 5:00. They got back to La Push at 8:00 and sat in front of Selene's house for a little house, "I had a great time, Emmett."

"So did I Sel. I can't remember the last time I had this much fun."

"I'm glad. I have to go now, Em. I have patrol tonight."

"Okay."

In an instant, Emmett was at Selene's side, opening the door for her and helping Selene out of the harness and out of the Jeep. Emmett closes the door and leans her against the Jeep. "I'm going to be gone for a few days, Selene. I need to hunt, but I'll get back as soon as possible."

"Where are you going?"

"Jasper and I are going to Canada; they have some great Grizzly Bears up there."

"As long as it's not wolves," Selene said.

Emmett gasped in mock horror, then smirked, "There's only one wolf I want to eat."

Selene slapped his arm, "Emmett, that's gross."

Emmett leaned forward, and his eyes darkened, "Is it?"

"Well…"

Emmett didn't give Selene a chance to say anything else. He slammed his mouth on hers and kissed her fiercely. She wrapped her arms around Emmett's neck, and he lifted Selene's long skirt until her ass was exposed, then Emmett placed her on the hood of his Jeep and stepped between her legs. Emmett started kissing down Selene's neck, her collarbone, and the top of each breast. Selene's head fell back, but as she felt Emmett's cold hands creeping up her top, Selene came to her senses and grabbed his hands.

"I think I get ready for my patrol, Em."

Emmett placed his forehead on Selene's, "Do you have to?"

"I'm afraid so."

Emmett sighed, "Alright, I'll call you when I get back."

"Okay, have a good hunt," Selene said, then kissed Emmett.

"Thanks, Babe."

With that, Emmett helped Selene down; she fixed her skirt, then walked Emmett to the driver's side and kissed him again. Emmett got into his Jeep and drove off back home. Selene rushed into the house and took a quick shower. Then she changed into a pair of yoga pants and a t-shirt and her favorite running shoes. Once Selene was ready, she headed out to Sam's house. Sam assigned pairs, and they went on patrol.

And so that's how the week went. Selene went out on patrol every day, and she rotated partners but never with Jacob or Paul. Paul was still jealous that Selene had picked a bloodsucker of him, and Jake had a problem that another leech had taken a girl that he knew. He may not be in love with Selene, but it rubbed him the wrong way, and Jake supported Paul.

But that wasn't the only thing that Selene did with her time away from Emmett. She spent a good portion swimming in the sea, playing with the sea creatures, and in the valley that Selene had found practicing her fighting skills and demigod powers. Surprisingly Selene hadn't been attacked by any more monsters. Selene thought it must have been a fluke that the manticore was in the region. Nevertheless, Selene couldn't take the chance of being caught off guard. And she had the feeling that eventually, Selene was going to have a conflict with Rosalie, and Selene was going to have no other choice but to kill Rosalie.

The Friday that Emmett and Jasper got back from their hunt, they were met at the door by Alice, "What going on, Darlin'," Jasper asked.

"I had a vision of Victoria. She'll be coming through here tonight. We'll have a chance to catch her between our territory and the wolves."

"Should we tell the Sam and the others," Emmett asked

"No, I can't see past them, they'll only interfere," Alice explained.

"What about Bella and Edward?"

"Edward took Bella to Jacksonville to see her mother," Carlisle said as he stepped out of the house.

"Well, I guess we should get going," Jasper said.

The Cullens are spread out in the forest, trying to cover as much area as they can, waiting for Victoria to show up.

"You sure this is where you saw her?" Jasper asks.

"She's almost here," Alice confirms.

Alice spins and looks at Emmett, "On your left!"

Emmett explodes to his left, Esme right behind him. Jasper and Carlisle go wide, looking to cut Victoria off, Alice following up the rear. Victoria was racing through the trees, tense but not afraid. Escaping is what she's good at. She reaches a ravine; she doesn't break stride, just leaps across it. Carlisle pulls up short, yells to Emmett.

"Wait. Victoria's in their territory," Carlisle informs them.

"She'll get away," Alice yells.

"No she won't," Jasper tells her.

On the other side of the ravine, four giant wolves leap onto the scene and take up the chase after Victoria. Sam in the lead in his enormous black wolf form, with Selene's pure white wolf right behind him. A parallel chase ensues, the wolves and the Cullens keeping to their sides of the ravine, which she realized is the line that demarcates the territories, Victoria leaps back over. Selene goes to follow, but the jump is too wide.

"All ours now, " Emmett says as he races off after her.

Emmett grabs hold of her shoulders and hair. They roll head over heel, Victoria uses the momentum to her advantage and flings Emmett off and over her into a tree.

"Emmett, don't!" Esme yells

But Emmett seeing red flies over the ravine. The second his feet hit the other side, Paul, in his wolf form, tackles Emmett hitting him in the chest and sending him flying into the water. Emmett gets up and growls at Paul, who is also growling and foaming at the mouth.

Selene tackles Paul and puts herself between Emmett and Paul, *How dare you attack my imprint, you son of a bitch!*

*He was in out territory!*

*News flash, moron, he's allowed!*

*I don't care, I've had enough of this shit, Selene, I'm tearing that leech apart then you'll be mine!*

With that, Paul lunged at Emmett. Emmett was about to attack Paul, but Selene knocked Emmett out of the way and collided with Paul and threw him to the ground. Paul got up and rushed Selene, grabbing her by the neck and biting down, sinking his teeth and drawing blood, Pinning her under him. Paul started shaking his head, trying to rip her throat out.

Emmett growled and was about to help his mate when Leah gets in his way, "He's going to kill her!"

At that moment, Selene uses her back legs to kick Paul off her, then instantly gets to her feet. She lets out a snarl and jumps onto Paul's back, latching her teeth onto the back of his neck and dug her claw into his back. Paul starts bucking, trying to dislodge Selene, but Selene grabs on tighter. Selene finally slides off Paul's back, but she doesn't let go. She viciously starts shaking her head, trying to rip out his throat as he tried with her earlier. Sam finally steps forward when he realized that Selene is going to kill Paul.

*Drop him, Selene.*

Selene snarls at Sam, and grips tighter on Paul, causing him to gasp for air, *No, you heard what he said. He was going to kill Emmett. He has no intention of obeying the law, Sam. Paul's nothing but a rabid dog, and he needs to be put down.*

*You can't make that call.*

*Oh, no, watch me.*

*LET HIM GO,* Sam said in his alpha voice.

Selene laughed, *You think that works on me, Sam? It only works because I let it. You have no idea who I am.*

*SELENE!* Leah said.

Selene looked at her sister then remembered herself, *I'm sorry, Sam, I shouldn't have said that.*

And with that, Selene dropped Paul and walked towards Emmett, who was standing there shocked. Emmett kneeled in front of Selene and looked at the blood on her white fur, "Oh, Babe, you shouldn't have gotten involved, I could have handled that mutt."

Selene rubbed against Emmett affectionately and licked his face. He smiled, "I get it; you only wanted to protect me. Come back to the house so Carlisle can patch you up."

Selene shook her head when Leah came and stood next to her. Leah and Selene turned and melted into the forest with the rest of the wolves. Emmett wanted to follow, but Carlisle called to come back, "She'll be alright, son. The wolves heal exceptionally fast."

"Yeah, they do, but it doesn't mean I like being away from her."

"I know. But there's nothing we can do now but go home."

Emmett sighed, "I guess you're right, Carlisle."
