A/N: WOOT! 2 in one!

Chapter Fourteen- The Boy is mine

Cassady curled up to the warmth that was in her bed, having lost her blankets somewhere in the chaos last night. She heard her warmth chuckle, and finally opened her eyes to see Jacob watching her, his head resting on his hand, propped up to give him the angle to see her from. She groaned, before scooting closer to him, sticking her leg between his, wrapping her arm around his torso, and nuzzling her face into his chest, closing her eyes to take in the smell of him.

He smells like what you would imagine that man in the damn Old Spice commercials would, Cassady thought attempting not to snort at the thought of Jacob doing half of what that man did. She felt Jacobs arms wrap around her, and pull her closer, surrounding her with warmth. She sighed happily, just taking in the moment.

"Hey Jacob!" Someone yelled from downstairs, causing Cassady to growl, and Jacob to laugh at her antics.

"Yeah?" He called back, never moving from their position, but watching as Cassady looked up at him with tired and irritated eyes.

"Wake Cassady up, and have her get dressed. Aunt Sue, and your dad are on their way to see you both," Sam called back. Cassady groaned, pulled away from the warmth, and rolled on to the floor with an oomph.

"I didn't tell you to push her off the bed," Sam called back, laughing.

"Sam. Shut up!" Cassady growled loudly enough for him to hear, only to get a response of laughter from both men. Jacob scooted over to the side of the bed next to where Cassady laid on the floor, and offered a hand, only to get it smacked away. She got up, and stared at the half naked man in her bed, eyes lingering on the beauty he held.

"Having fun looking?" He cooed, a smile resting on his face, as she rolled her eyes. Cassady climbed on the bed, and straddled his hips sitting on him, smirking. She bent over and put her mouth right next to his ear.

"I'd have more fun touching," she muttered, running her hands across his chest. He groaned, putting his hands on her hips, and pushing her down to grind against her. Cassady laughed, pulling away from him and getting up to get dressed. Jacobs eyes followed her as she walked around the room, grabbing a pair of Jeans, and a tank top out of her bag, before winking at him, and walking out the door. Jacob groaned, getting up, and pulling on the sweat pants over his boxers and clambering down the stairs.

In the kitchen, Emily sat with a cup of coffee and a newspaper lying in front of her. She glanced up at him, smiling.

"Foods on the counter," She pointed towards the large bowl in the middle of the counter. Jacob frowned, walking over to see some type of egg mess thing that he'd never seen before.

"Emily?" Jacob said worriedly, poking what seemed to be glowing green eggs, before looking at the woman who was still pretending to read the paper. " What happened?" Emily glared at him, before looking back at the paper, in a huff.

"Where's Sam?" Jacob asked, sitting at the table, earning him another glare, and huff.

"Burning in hell for all I care," Emily grumbled, before pointing toward the back yard. Jacob walked out the back yard to see Sam sitting on the porch steps glaring at the woods.

"What the hell man?" Jacob asked, causing Sam to growl at him, while Jacob sat down next to him. "You were all laughing and perky until a couple minutes ago." Sam shook his head.

"Some of the vampires have been spotted in town. Emily, and I had a slight disagreement on whether or not you should be informed or not." Jacob paused, looking at Sam's stone cold face.

"Let me guess, you were all for not telling me, and letting me go ignorant", Jacob sighed, watching as Sam shook his head.

"Got it all wrong this time man. Emily wanted you not to know to cover Cassady's ass. I took your side this time," Sam snorted, closing his eyes. " Though that's what Sue and Billy are probably going to talk to her about."

"The Vampires?"

"Your and Cassady's relationship, and the responsibilities of the imprint; I think Sue might try pushing you guys in to going on an actual date here soon." Jacob frowned.

"They never gave any of the other girls a lecture." Sam snorted.

"They weren't Alpha Female, either. Cassady, like you, has a whole set of responsibilities that she must see to now that she's an Alpha Female. Like, when you become alpha, she has to have sex with you and carry your mark, giving her access into the male's brains as if she were part of the wolves." Jacob's eyes shot up. " Yeah, I know, it's crazy. Emily never wanted that type of responsibility."

"Sam, Jake. Sue and Billy are here," Emily called from inside the house. Jacob and Sam got up, walking into the semi dark house, their ears catching laughter from the kitchen. Walking into the kitchen, they immediately saw Sue's smiling face, and the back of Billy's wheel chair. Cassady leaned against the sink, smirking resting on her lips, as Emily leaned on the table.

"Sam, Jake, we were just talking about you," Sue said, watching as Jacob's eyebrow raised.

"Talking about us?" Sam asked nervously.

"Yeah, Sammy poo, talking about all those crazy adventures we had as kids," Cassady stated, pointing to a snickering Emily, " and how many times you called Aunt Sue." Sue snorted, shaking her head.

"Billy, if you thought Jacob was bad, these girls gave me gray hair when I was in my late 20's. Never, ever, would I have girls again." Sue shook her head. " They were so disappointed when Seth turned out to be a boy." Cassady snickered.

"Didn't prevent me from putting him dresses," Emily stated, smiling at Sue.

"That poor boy," Sue sighed, " I think you succeeded in putting Sam in a prom dress once." Sam's eyes got wide.

"Ok, you guys aren't here for a social visit, what is it you need?" Sam said hurriedly, as Cassady and Emily snickered loudly. Billy nodded, looking at Cassady with a twinkle in his eyes.

"You will just have to tell me that story at a later date. We are here to discuss the responsibilities of the Alpha Female to you, Cassady." Cassady nodded, eyes no longer laughing.

"Just to clear some things over, you can become Alpha Female without Jacob, though it is a lot harder; we do not suggest it. You will have to have sex with Jacob to get the full effects of the Alpha Female. Alpha Female has the rights to stand by her husband at any and all meetings, seeing as in the event of tragedy, she must take over. Once mating, she gains the ability to hear the other wolves, but unlike the wolves, she can tune them out, and not allow them to hear her thoughts. " Billy paused, watching Cassady's thoughtful face.

"You have the ability to give an Alpha command, as if you were the Alpha. The women in the pack, even the imprints will have to follow as well. You have become top bitch, to put it figuratively. It's supposed to help balance power. You must have children to carry on the name. You must represent yourself in the correct manner. You and Jacob fighting can create a rift in the pack, avoid it." Sue nodded, as Billy finished up.

"As Billy and I have understood it, you and Jacob have not started on the best of terms. Due to these circumstances, you were forced to deal with the pains of a REJECTED mate. There is a difference in a rejected mate, and the loss of a mate. The level of pain is different, along with the need for responsibility. Due to the ignorance of many people, though, you will have to defend your position , and defend your right. You cannot back down." Cassady nodded, standing up straight, eyes glazed over in thought as she took it all in. Sue smiled at her, "I am so proud of you Cassady. I don't think there isn't a part of me that isn't. I am sure your mother would have been proud too." Cassady smiled and nodded.

"So, on to more council business, when are you two going on your first date?" Billy asked, turning to Jacob, and eyeing him. Jacob smiled.

"I want to take her out this morning, but you guys are hindering my plan a little." Jacob shrugged, watching as Cassady raised her eyebrow.

"Well, don't let us hold you back. We want to talk to Sam and Emily," Sue stated, waving her hand in dismissal, watching as Cassady and Jacob took off upstairs. Once up there, Cassady watched Jacob put on real clothes, frowning when he put his shirt on last. Damn, where's that contract that says he has to take off his shirt every five minutes? Cassady thought, giggling at the thought. Jacob looked at her, smirking. Uh-oh, what's he thinking? Jacob walked over to her slowly, prowling as she started to back up. Suddenly, he grabbed her, tossing her over his shoulder.

"Jacob Black, put me down," Cassady screamed as she was taken out of the room, and down the stairs. "Jacob, I'm going to murder you! Do you hear me? MURDER you!" Jacob giggled walking out the house, slamming the door to make it known that they had left.

Once up to the hummer, Jacob opened the door to the passenger seat and tossed her in, leaving her flustered, and huffing. Jacob walked over to the driver's side and slide in, turning on the engine, and speeding off from the house.

"So, I don't think we've really gotten to know each other, so let's start off basic. My name is Jacob Black, I'm 19, I graduated from high school, and have worked with the council since," Jacob stated, watching as Cassady stopped huffing.

"My name is Cassady Oswald. I'm 20, I graduated when I was 17. I was a cop for past two years, but due to crazy circumstances, I left and came here," Cassady said, looking at him intently, "Want to do the twenty question game?" Jacob nodded, taking the longest route he could find to the diner in Forks.

"What's your favorite color?" Cassady asked.

"Blue, yours?"

"Lilac. Favorite band?"

"Metallica. You?"

"Anything good. What's your favorite book?"

"Harry Potter Series, I always loved Harry and Ginny. Yours?"

"I liked this book series called Twilight, but now I'm really into this Sookie Stackhouse series. It's really good." Cassady got a thoughtful look on her face.

"Who was Bella?" Jacob tensed, gripping the wheel tighter than necessary.

"She was a girl I've known practically my whole life. She was smart, beautiful, and sweet. That was before she met the leech, Edward." Jacob paused, staring at the road. "I loved her, she loved him, he loved her, and I gave up. I never thought I would imprint with anyone, and if I did, it wouldn't matter. The love of my life was gone, and was with my worst enemy, the bloodsuckers." Jacob shook his head. " I was wrong on so many levels. Any way, What made you stop being a cop?"

Cassady looked out the window, "I got shot in the cross fire of a hostage situation. I was a negotiator, and it was my fourth time, and I was the only one on duty. Father lost his mind after finding out his wife had cheated on him. He had his wife, daughter, 2 sons, and the man in the house; his gun was drawn, and he was threatening to kill the man. I was trying so hard to talk him out of it, and had almost succeeded when an incorrect call came in to shoot first, think later. They shot at him, he shot at us, I got hit. His daughter was killed in the crossfire." Cassady paused, wiping away a tear. "I just couldn't take it anymore. I quit." Jake nodded, pulling in the parking lot of the diner.

"I'm sorry," Jacob said quietly, reaching over and taking her hand. Cassady looked over at him and smiled. "Don't be sorry, I'm here. Same way you're here. We made it." Cassady leaned over and kissed the hand holding hers.

They walked into the diner, taking a seat in one of the booths toward the back of the room. Jacob sat across from Cassady, looking towards the door, a smile resting on his lips. Cassady rambled on about something, but Jacob's mind was on the beauty she possessed. Her black hair pulled in to a loose ponytail that fell down her back. Hazel eyes glittered even without the light to accent them. A smile rested on her lips.

"So, when do you plan on becoming Alpha?" Cassady asked, eyebrow raised at him, as he sipped on the soda that he had ordered.

"I want to mature a little more before I become Alpha. I'd be more likely to make rash decisions now more than ever. Maybe in a year or two, when I've got a steady job, and when my relationship isn't as rocky." He winked at Cassady, causing her to roll her eyes, and laugh. Cassady and Jacob ordered their food, talking about anything that came to their minds. They ate in relative silence, and enjoyment.

Cassady nibbled on her toast, staring off into space, when she heard a clatter on her plate, and looked over to see her toast gone. She glared at Jacob who was giving her a wolfy grin, while swallowing her bacon.

"I wanted that," She grumbled half-heartedly, while Jacob laughed.

"Should have eaten it faster!" He stated, watching as she made a face and took a chunk out of his pancakes, and eating it. Jacob laughed harder, not noticing the two people coming towards him.

"Jacob," He heard someone say softly next to him. Cassady stiffened, eyes on the man walking up to them.

"Jasper, What are you doing here?"
