Once I was back inside I said my goodnight to Charlie and went to take a quick shower. I dried off and threw on some shorts and a t-shirt, she was sitting on the desk chair with her legs crossed when I entered my room again. "sorry I took so long" I uttered still drying my hair. "you didn't." he murmured her eyes never leaving me. A few minutes of her staring and I finally voiced my concerns, "will we be safe?"

"I would never allow any harm to come to you, nor Lauren."

"I know, I meant we, as in you to Catt. They have the whole pack."

"they are no threat I assure you mon ange."

"why do you call me that?" she looked taken back by my sudden question, "because you look like an Angel, and you are mine. Not that you are a possession or anything, if it bothers you I can stop, I-" I let out a little laugh as she rambled on, she has become even more cockier since I agreed to be her girlfriend, but still had her nervous little cute moments. "it's fine I don't mind, I was just curious. I like it." a true smile lit up her face again, so different then that sexy smirk of hers but no less breathtaking. "then I am glad, now come here, it has been to long since you were in my arms."

"it's been like 30 minutes" I rolled my eyes but slid into her arms non the less. Her legs uncrossed as she pulled me into her, her hands roaming my back and hips. Mine wound around her neck as I pulled her to me for a kiss. Her warm lips tugged on mine and soon her tongue was sliding past them. As usual the contact brought a quiet moan from us both, her hands gripped me tighter pulling my hips into hers and I gasped at the contact. She took that moment to drag her lips down my neck to the base of my throat where she began to suck gently, my hips jumped forward when her hands moved to be cupping my butt. I shivered at the sensation of her growling against me, her teeth scraping against my neck. I froze momentarily worried she may have lost control of her-self but her tongue licked out a moment late before she pulled back. Her eyes were no longer human, but they were trained on what could only be a red mark on my neck in satisfaction. Another throaty growl left her and the next thing I knew my back had hit the bed and she was straddling my hips. Her hips slowly jerked against mine as she looked down at me with fire in her panthers eyes sending shivers of pleasure through me at every thrust. My hands went to her waist as I sat up to bring our lips together once more, it was my turn to shove my tongue past her lips as I gripped her, pleased at the hungry growl that left her I urged her hips getting more and more frustrated at the layers of clothes between us. Her hand tangled in my hair a nonstop vibrating in her chest. With each thrust of her hips against mine I could feel the heat of her core, and I could feel myself getting closer and closer.

She ripped her lip from mine gasping for air and she has never looked hotter before. And then she was gone, a blanket was thrown over me as she disappeared and before I could ask what I had done wrong a nock had sounded at my door. "Bells you awake?"

"kinda, what's up dad?" I murmured using sleep as an excuse for my hoarse voice, "I just got a call from the precinct, I have to take off and probably won't be back until later tomorrow night. Will you be ok?" I took in a deep breath "that's fine dad I'll be fine. Just be careful."

"Always, I'll see you late, love you."

"love you to dad." As soon as I heard the door shut I threw the blanket back and Catt stepped out of my closet, her breathing was shallow and she appeared to be trying to get control over herself. "I-I apologize if I-if I over stepped mon ange."

"you definitely didn't'" I whispered back to be rewarded by that smirk that weakens my knees. I let my head fall back on to the pillow and tried to control my racing heart knowing I cant be making this easy on her. She slowly crawled over taking the spot beside me as if she could read my mind "you are never in danger from me mon Coeur." She murmured before laying a hand o my stomach. "perhaps you should get some sleep before we head out, there is still a few hours left." So with that I pushed her onto her back and curled up into her side as her arm came around to hold me tight, I slowly drifted off with the heat of my girlfriend burning into me.

Catt POV

I laid there for 30 minutes with my mate in my arms just staring at her peaceful form as she slept. 30 minutes before I realized how much of a creeper I was being. With a sigh I leant over my sleeping girl and grabbed her phone and began scrolling through it, I knew you were the jealous type, but I didn't think you to be that type of girlfriend.

"shut up Saphira I'm not. I'm getting Jacob's number. " her laughter bounced around in my head as I found his number and typed it in my phone. I quickly sent the message:

Me: I need to know Bella with be safe tonight.

Jake: Catt?

Jake: she will, we don't hurt humans. And if Sam tries anything he will regret it.

Catt:…thank you. I can handle Sam and any he commands, but not if I am to focused on her safety.

Jake: I will see you soon.

I didn't bother typing a reply as her heartrate picked up, looking down expecting to see her beautiful chocolate eyes open she surprises me once again throwing a leg over my waist and burying further into my chest, a breathy moan of my name escaping her lips. I bit back my own moan and stopped breathing as soon as the sweet scent of her arousal hit me. Dear goddess this woman will be the death of me.

I laid my head back and shut my eyes trying to gain some kind of peace and control, only for them to shoot open a second later a hand firmly groped my breast possessively. I knew my eyes were no longer human as my chest vibrated.

The noise must have woke her as she her rate increased once more before her eyes opened, as soon as she noticed our position she went from sleepy to horrified in seconds her face turned beet red. Before she could utter a sound I ground out "perhaps you should put some pants on so we can go get Lauren. She nodded her head wordlessly doing as I suggested.

The walk to Lauren's in the dark was a silent one, not even the creatures of the night were around, probably sensing a bigger predator. "I sent her a message to meet us outside." A nod was my only reply as these emotions waged war in me, goddess help me I'm going to take her. I heard her tiny sigh but had no time to reply as we were already here and Lauren was waiting. "so how exactly are we getting to this place?" she asked as we were far enough away from her house and at the tree line. "I'm going to carry you."

"both of us?"

"yes."

"wow." Bella asked no questions as she climbed onto my back, I then swooped a shocked Lauren into my arms, I took off slowly as to not frighten her, but still faster than any human capable of. I set them down "that was amazing" she said breathless, "do you guys do that a lot?"

"Sometimes." I let their voices fade out as I listened to the wind rushing through the forest, the wolves weren't here yet, but they were on their way, the ground barely vibrated with the force of their weight, I'm guessing a few miles out still. "Catt?" I turned at the soft voice, a million questions and concerns on her face, "they are on their way, maybe another few minutes."

Once those few minutes passed I heard the stomping, the growls as they clambered their way to us making way to much noise. I shook my head and stood from the log I silently sat at, much to Bella's concern. Both girls joined my sides as the first wolf broke free of the trees. He was centered and a large black wolf, a snarl was on his lips as he looked to me and then Lauren, it had to be Sam. What could only be Jacob stood on his left, he was bogger than the fake Alpha and a red-ish brown color, his eyes held intelligence he didn't wean to possess, he was a child thrown into a life he didn't want. But those eyes it up when they landed on my mate, a dopy dog grin on his face. 10 other wolves of various sizes and colors soon followed them, some with similar snarls as Sam, some with wary glances, and some with excitement and interest. "I'm guessing this was just for show and you will be changing back so we may actually speak?" I rose a brow at the wolf and let my voice become bored and uninterested. The wolf that was Jacob let out a chuffing laugh soon followed by a few others. The wolf in question sent me a glare before he and a few others went back behind the trees to change. He came stomping back out glare still on his face followed by Jacob, Leah, Seth and Paul. "what is she doing here!" he gestured to Lauren. "well, it does involver her does it not? That kind of makes this her business."

"she is human and knows our secret!"

"Sam calm down" Jacob reasoned. "are we here to listen to you state the obvious or will you just get on with it and tell me what you want?" he let out a pathetic growl "how do we know you aren't a threat to the humans!? And she won't go running her mouth about us!"

"because if she did that would also endanger me, not something I want to do, and I trust her." I saw her quickly turn to look at me from the corner of my eyes, "and by now I am sure you saw my conversation with Jacob in his head yes? Then you are aware I am no more a threat to them, then you."

"we aren't the threat!" I raise a brow and watch Jacob try to hide a smile knowing what my words will be. "And yet here you are, trying your hardest not to lose control." He froze momentarily before the shaking came back tenfold and he bursts onto all fours. Jacobs pleas fell on deaf ears as he launched across the river at me, I met him half way slamming his muzzle shut before tossing him to the side by his furry little head. . And then I was standing before the awestruck humans once more. I looked him in his hate filled eyes "the only thing I will become a threat to is you if you out my mate in danger like that again" I threatened. The rest of the wolves started to get antsy, the ones who still followed the fool growled lowly. I pulled on a fraction of my alpha powered and gave them a roar that silenced them quickly tails between their legs, even Sam dropped to his belly, though he glared with such hatred and embarrassment. "ENOUGH" even I was startled as Jacob voice boomed out. "As rightful Alpha I strip you of the title and take my place. You ungrateful excuse of a wolf are the only danger to this pack, she could have slaughtered us all because of you! And their lives, these young lives would be on your hands for attacking her mate! My sister!"
