*Reanna's POV*

The bell finally rang and I walked out of class, only to find Seth waiting outside the classroom, leaned against the nearest locker.

"Hey!" I smiled, placing a hand on either of his shoulders to keep balance while I stood on my tippytoes, placing a small tap kiss on his lips.

"Hiya, babe." As we started to walk, his arm wrapped around my waist.

"Your house or mine?" It had become a regular thing that we spent afternoons together.

"Mine. I want to show you something."

"What kind of something?" I looked up at him skeptically. I didn't know if I was worried or exciting. I just knew that I had to know what it was.

"You'll see!"

"Noo! You have to tell me now!" I pouted as we walked onto the bus; we both hated the bus, but neither of us had a license yet. A couple more months until it was legal.

"Nope." He shook his head as he slid into the first open seat, putting his legs up on the spot next to him and pulling me into his lap.

"I hate surprises." I huffed, crossing my arms over my chest.

Luckily, his stop was the third one, so I didn't have to wait too long. I grabbed his hand immediately when we stepped off the bus, pulling him with me as I rushed down the street and up his driveway. The second we walked in, I dropped my bag on the nearest chair.

"Okay, show me!"

"Just calm down a sec!" He laughed, setting down his bag beside mine. "Come on." He signaled me to follow him out the backdoor. It was cold outside, but it wasn't really warm either. Clouds hovered in the sky, making it seem dreary and dark though it was barely 2:30 pm. We walked through his yard, and into the depths of the woods.

"Where in the hell are you taking me?" I couldn't help but ask. My curiosity was getting to me.

"Here." He stopped in his tracks.

"This is what you wanted to show me?" I loved the forest, but it wasn't much a surprise...

"No, it's still coming. But... you have to promise me something." He suddenly seemed nervous, making me even more curious as the what the fuck was happening.

"Sure, whatever you want."

"Promise not to freak out?"

"Freak out? Over what?"

"Just say you promise. You can't freak out, and you can't hate me. Do you promise?" He ran his hand through his short, black spikes starting to pace between trees.

"Seth..." I stood in front of him so he had to stop walking. I took one of his hands in mine, and placed the other on his cheek. "I'm not going to hate you. Just relax, alright? Show me."

He took a deep breath and nodded. "Okay. I'll be right back."

I watched, confused, as he turned and run further into the woods, past the trees so he was out of my line of vision.

"The fuck...?" I whispered to myself, then sighed, sitting on a nearby tree stump. After a couple of minutes, I heard a rustle in the trees. My heart rate jumped up slightly. "Seth...?" I stood hesitantly, trying to see if it was him.

My eyes widened as what I would think to be wolf stepped out from the trees. It would have been a wolf, if it weren't the size of a fucking horse. My first instinct was to scream, or run. But I couldn't do either. I was frozen. And by the time I unfroze, that instinct passed. My eyes met the wolf's, and what looked back at me was all too familiar.

It was Seth.

He took a few strides toward me and a shiver ran through my body while the serene wind blew around us, rustling the trees. Leaves crunched under his paws. I didn't know if I was dreaming or not, but I just didn't understand how this could possibly be real.

"S... Seth...?" I shook my head in disbelief as I watched his eyes again. Definitely Seth, there was no mistaking it. He was so big that he was my height, even on all fours. "I don't... I don't understand..." I took a deep breath as I touched his soft fur.

And just like that, he was gone. He had turned and ran away again, leaving me stunned and speechless.

*30 minutes later*

Seth and I hadn't said a word yet. We both sat on the couch, me sitting once again in his ever so comfortable lap, his arms wrapped around me.

"I still like you." I finally broke the silence. I heard him breathe a sigh of relief and almost felt him smile again.

"I still like you too."

"How does that happen? Why? Is it just to you? Tell me everything."

And so he did. He explained that there are nine others, but wouldn't say who yet. It happens when he's pissed, or when he makes himself angry. It was a Quileute gene that he ended up with, but he loved it. He loved protecting La Push... from vampires. I didn't believe that part at first. It took him a full hour to convince me he was serious.

In all honesty, I still don't really believe him. I mean, vampires and wolves? Life doesn't happen that way. It was all just too crazy. And I was a pretty supernatural girl too.

"There's just one more thing..." He said, his voice weary.

"More? What else could there possibly be?" If he brought ghosts or witches into this picture, I would lose my cool.

"Imprinting."

"Do I even want to know?"

"I hope so. You're already more involved than you realize..."

I blinked a few times, waiting for him to say something. When he didn't, I did. "How?"

"When one of the shapeshifters- wolves- see, uhm... You know..." He scratched the back of his neck nervously, I noticed as I turned on his lap to see his face, "'The one' something happens. Called imprinting. It's kinda like love at first sight I guess, but a lot stronger. There's a pull between the two of them, and nothing else matters."

"So you..." I tried to put his words together, but my brain had just stopped working at this point.

"So you're my imprint. I know we just met, but since the first time I saw you I've been completely in love with you. You're my whole world. My everything, and you always will be. Sorry if that freaks you out."

I didn't respond. I just pressed my lips again to his.
