Max POV

The boy, whoever he was, was standing in front of the doorway, the light outlining him, so that I couldn't see him very clearly. He started to walk towards us, never taking his eyes off Nudge. I walked over to Nudge and stood in front of her, Fang coming to stand by my side, challenging that boy to make any sudden moves.

He stopped right in front of me and spoke. "Hi, my name is Jacob. Could I please talk to the girl behind you?" he sounded sweet, but in my line of work I've learned that looks can be deceiving.

"No." I put as much acid into my voice as I could as I stood with my arms crossed in front of my chest, Fang in a similar position.

"Max, its ok, I'll be fine." Nudge said behind me. I just stood there, glaring at the boy. Angel. Yes, Max? What's he thinking about? Nudge, and about how he would do anything for her. Ok, do you think it's safe to let him see her? I don't know. I don't hear any thoughts of hurting her, but you can never be too sure. I felt so bad for Angel; she's growing up in fear of her own shadow and everyone around her. Thanks baby. Mmhmm.

I looked at Fang and raised my eyebrow, our sign for what do you think? He tilted his head to the side slightly, so that only I could see, our sign for I think it's ok. I stepped aside and motioned to Fang to do the same. He did so and the boy, Jacob walked up to stand in front of her, a small smile playing at his lips. Nudge looked at him and smiled shyly. He held his hand out to her and she took it.

When Nudge reached out to shake his hand, it was like a jolt of electricity went through her. I looked worriedly at her when her body shook slightly, but she just stood looking up at Jacob. Angel, what's going on? Max? I think they're in love. Joy is spreading through Nudge, and Jacob, well, all he sees in his mind is Nudge, that's all I'm getting from him. It's really weird, but I don't think he will hurt her. I read the other's minds too, and they were thinking something about imprinting…what is that? I'm not sure, but I'll find out. Thanks honey.

"Sam? Do you care to explain why Nudge and Jacob are suddenly in love? And why he can't think of anything but her? And what is imprinting?" I asked with concern. It was very interesting, but I wanted to know exactly what was going on before I got into anything, let alone before Jacob started getting into it with Nudge.

"Let us go inside. I'll tell you everything in there, for I see that Jacob will tell our secret soon enough." Sam led us inside the house. We went into a sitting area with not quite enough seats. I sat next to Fang on the couch with Iggy on my left and Fang on my right, Angel and Gazzy sat on the floor in front of us, the 'pack' spread out to sit in various chairs and seats, and Nudge sat on Jacob's lap. I wasn't very happy with that, but before I had a chance to voice my concern, Sam spoke.

"Let us start from the beginning…" and Sam told us all about how he and the rest of the pack are werewolves, and how they fight vampires, about everything really. I don't have time to tell you the whole story; it would take far too long. Just know that they are good guys and are not from the school or have anything to do with it…I had Angel check to make sure. He told us that imprinting was when a wolf found the person he was meant to be with, and the wolf would do anything to help and protect the girl/guy that he/she imprinted on.

"Now, I'm sure you are all tired. There is room here if you would like to stay here, or we can take you to forks, which is the closest place to have a hotel. Whichever you choose we will be fine with your decision, but know this, now that Jacob has imprinted on your friend Nudge, he will want to be with her forever. You may have a hard time separating them."

I looked at Fang. Angel, ask the flock what they want to do. My mind was quiet while she got their answers. Then…they want to stay here. Ok, thanks.

"We would like to stay here please." I told Sam. I'm wasn't sure if that was best, but it was the least I could do for the flock.

"Ok then. Jacob, I presume you would like to share your room with Nudge?" Jacob looked at Nudge and she smiled, unable to contain the joy she felt, and nodded her head yes. "Max, you may split up the rest of the flock in whichever way you like." I nodded me head.

"Ok, Iggy, Gazzy and Angel, you will be sharing a room, and Fang and I will sleep on the floor. We will be right here if you need us. Nudge, you may share with Jacob, but nothing better go on with the two of you. Nudge is still only sixteen, Jacob, and I'm trusting you with her. You had better not toy with her tonight, and I better not hear anything coming from your room."

They all nodded their heads and went off to find their rooms. The pack left also; with only Jacob staying, I mused this was his house.

"Do you want the couch?" I asked Fang once everyone was gone out of the room.

He just smiled and pulled me to him, and I had gotten up off of the couch. I landed on his lap at an awkward angle. I looked up at him and he just smiled down at me. I turned around in his lap so that I was straddling him, my hands on either side of his head on the couch cushions.

"Oh no you don't." Fang said, and he shifted so that he was in my position and I in his, with my back to the cushions. He kissed my neck and he moved so that I was lying on the couch with him on top of me.

I pulled his face up to mine and he started kissing my lips. I felt his tongue skim across my lower lip and opened my mouth a fraction of an inch. This opening, however, was all he needed.

His tongue slipped into my mouth and started exploring, pushing my tongue out of the way so that he had control over my mouth. Fang is stronger than me, and if he wants me to do something, or not do something, he's able to control me.

I sank into the couch and let Fang take complete control over my body.
