A/n: So you guys are pretty much split even on what pairings you want to see. So for now I'm still figuring it out, for sure some form of Beca/Chloe and Aubrey/Stacie, but I do have a small Aubrey/Beca idea floating around. Hope you guys enjoy this chapter and thank you all for the reviews, follows, and favorites!

I sigh lying back on Jesse's bed.
"Seriously Jess I have Bella's in an hour, I cannot watch a movie right this minute and have it be over with before I need to leave."
"That's why I wanted you here two hours ago."
"Aubrey was helping me with an essay. My grades are more important than watching movies." I shout and I know I made a mistake, I can smell the anger rolling off him in waves.
"Aubrey and Chloe again? Why do you always hang out with them? You don't even like Aubrey." He yells back and I sigh, rolling my eyes.
"Who else am I supposed to go to for help?"
"Your dad is the head of the English department." Jesse is now basically growling at me and I just roll my eyes.
"Oh yes I'm going to go to my father over this, and get yelled at for not paying attention."
"Fine, why don't we just start the movie and we can finish it when Bella's is over." Jesse says in a firm voice and I groan again, why must he pick these fights?
"Jesse I can't come back over after and you know that." Jesse growls.
"Well shit Beca I feel like you really just don't want to see me." Finally I stand up and walk to the door.
"Well you know what? When you act like this I don't want to be around you." I say walking out the door. I have an hour till Bella practice, so I make my way over to the English building and up to my father's classroom. I lean against the door watching as he explains why Americans have yet to have a great writer for themselves. It's an age old battle with him and he gets so excited about it every year, practicing what he is going to say and how to deliver it.
"Ah and I see time is up, you have an assignment, please write down a paragraph or so for next class explaining your favorite American author." My father smiles to his class before bidding them goodbye. I walk in and over to his desk, sitting on the edge. "Becs, what can I do for you this wonderful day?" He smiles at me and I notice his eyes are the golden tint they are when he's a lion.
"I fought with Jesse again." I sigh and he chuckles.
"Oh Beca when will you see that he is no match for you?" He spins his chair to look at me. "You my sweet darling are a very independent, strong, lovely young woman. Not to mention a very dominate wolf. Jesse cannot offer you the challenge you need." He has a purr to his voice when he speaks, it's comforting.
"Can I ask you something?"
"Anything Becs." He looks up at me, those golden eyes shining at me.
"You and mom said I was the only wolf born to our generation, correct?"
"Out of the whole family yes, the rest of your cousins are a mixture of big cats, horses and I think a few coyotes."
"I ran into a wolf the other day." This peaked his interest.
"It is possible that a walker from a different area is studying at Barden." I roll my eyes at him before looking at the clock.
"I should head toward Bella's."
"Have fun." I wave as I walk out the door, stopping and looking back at him.
"Hey dad?"
"Yeah sweetheart?"
"You're eyes are golden." I smile before starting on my way again.

"Beca," Aubrey sighs shaking her head. "Chloe can you show her again?" I look over my shoulder as Chloe steps up to me, her arms snake around me as she pulls me right up against her.
"Alright you are really only making a few mistakes." She whispers into my ear, her breath ghosting over my neck. "Aubrey is only whining because she hates re-teaching things."
"Yeah, at least we get along better." I smirk, having Chloe this close was messing with my head today. I was just about to step away and use the excuse of a bathroom break when Aubrey cut me off.
"Alright let's wrap early tonight." She sighs going through her notes. "We are doing really well right now and you guys earned a break, why don't we hit up the pub and get some dinner?" Aubrey smiles when we all nod back at her. We all pile into two cars and drive down to the local pub. I can't help but feel a little guilty over not going to see Jesse with the extra time I've been granted.
"Hey Becs, you're order?" Chloe gives me a small nudge with her elbow pulling me out of my thoughts.
"Oh," I shake my head looking down at the menu again before ordering a burger and fries.
"So DJ where was your head a few minutes ago?" Fat Amy asks when the waiter walks away.
"Just thinking about Jesse, he wanted me to come over after practice but I told him I couldn't." I say truthfully.
"Aw, yeah. Movie boy is starting to turn into a jerk." Amy replies and I can't help but agree. "He got in my face earlier this week when I was late to practice. Kept asking me if we had practice or if you were lying to him. No matter what I said he made his own mind up that you were lying." Amy gives me a sad smile along with the rest of the Bellas, finally Aubrey steps in.
"Alright girls let's forget about our boys and drink to what will hopefully be a wonderful bonding night." She grins lifting up her glass to toast, we all clink glasses. Once again Chloe nudges me, looking at her she nods her head over to Aubrey and Stacie. The two were staring at one another intensely a smile on both their faces, I smile, it's good to see them so happy. I nudge Chloe back when Stacie slides an arm around Aubrey's back. Chloe grins at me, shaking her head.

"Come on Becs it's a long way back!" Stacie yells hanging off Aubrey.
"It's fine I'm going to stay here for a little bit, call my dad meet him up for a bit." I smile at them trying to reassure them. Chloe hugs me before looking at me once more, trying to read me.
"Alright guys let's go. If Beca doesn't want to come back with us that's fine." She orders without taking her eyes off me. "If you do end up wanting a ride you have my number." She says softly before hugging me again. "Don't let Jesse get to you, he's just being a loser." I watch them leave and walk up to the bar.
"Hey Beca," My cousin is the bar tender; she walks over to me with a beer handing it over.
"Hey Rachel." I smile sitting down.
"Redhead is really good looking." She offers and I shrug. "Still dating dipshit?" I nod. "Girl you better leave him."
"I get that he will never challenge me but he is sweet." I try and she shakes her head.
"Go on get out of here when you finish your beer. Go out the back way its right up against the woods so no one will see you." Rachel was a horse walker, I envied her. She wasn't a predator, didn't feel the pull of the hunt, didn't need to find another walker or true animals to make a pack with. She was free.
"Thanks." I say before downing my beer and walking out the back. I take a quick look around before walking into the woods. Once I'm a good ten yards in I change. A change for a Walker is easy, painless. We can pass from human to animal and not even realize it sometimes. I notice slight differences; my sense of smell is much better, same with sight and hearing. I stretch my toes into the dirt letting my paws get the feel of the earth under them again. I grin giving myself a big shake; I wag my tail looking at it before taking a deep breath. I love changing, in wolf form I feel free, I feel like myself. I start running toward Barden knowing the ground I will cover like the back of my hand. I get within a mile of the school grounds when I smell that same she-wolf Walker, growling I turn around and follow her trail. I hunt her to the top of a hill, looking down into the ravine I see her sitting at the bottom laying out on top of a rock. I watch her for a few minutes deciding which way would be best to at her. She knows I'm watching her, her ears are following me. Finally I walked down to her and snarl at her, she looks up at me bright blue eyes dancing around. The wolf has red markings in her fur making it easier for her to blend into the dense forest. My coat gives me no such advantage I am mainly white with my head and back being a dark black dusting back to white, causing little ability for me to blend in. She whines up at me and I sigh laying down next to her, I'm not going to hurt her if I was I would have done so long ago and she knows that. She also wouldn't hurt me, I have the more dominate wolf. She moves closer to me, resting her head on my back, I feel oddly comfortable with her right next to me, and end up drifting off to sleep.
