Hey...so...I got grounded and didn't get it back until today. I'm still grounded, but I got my computer back. Well, I won't keep you waiting.

Thanks for reading!

Chapter Four

Part 2: Seth Clearwater

I felt like I was floating on clouds. I had imprinted. I was the last in the pack, but I had finally imprinted! Now Leah was the only one that hadn't. That thought brought my mood down. She would be really pissed. I had been her only companion in our little group of single wolves

"What's going on with you, my brother?" Crap, Jake had found me. I chose not to reply; I wanted to keep Lilly to myself for a little while. That made me smile. I knew why Jacob never wanted to let Nessie out of his sight.

It had been hard to say goodbye to Lilly, but her older brother was a guy I wouldn't want to go up against even with my more than average strength. He had scared the living crap out of us:

"Hello, Lillium."

At this point, Lilly shrieked and jumped back into the arms of a very tall man. He was almost Emmett sized. She froze, but then looked up at her captor's face. I was ready to fend the man off, but then she relaxed and exclaimed, "Good God, Nigel. Are you trying to kill me?"

He looked so stiff and mean, but when his sister spoke to him, his face melted into a smile, "No, but that scream was really loud. You know, I'm not sure Grams heard you. Maybe you should do another one, just to be thorough."

Lilly glared at her brother with a flash of killing intent, "Nigel, what are you doing here?"

He grinned, "Mom sent me and the twins to get you from your little play date." He looked me over, "You didn't tell Ollie it was with a boy. He'll be pissed."

"The twins?" Lilly asked, ignoring her brother's swipe.

"Yeah, they're around here somewhere. I think they were trying to catch a frog."

Lilly glared at her brother, "You let them out of your sight? For a frog! Are you crazy?"

Two tiny blond heads emerged into the darkness, "He's not crazy, sister." Said one of the girls.

"He's just eccentric." Stated the other.

I noticed a vein throb in Lilly's forehead and had to suppress a grin, "Ivy, Moss, you keep this up and I'll thwack you both on the head. Why couldn't you be less like freaks and more like me and Ollie?"

The identical twins frowned, mirroring each other, "We aren't freaks!" Okay, the unison was creepy.

Lilly shot me a sympathetic look, "I was enjoying your company, but I'm afraid my siblings have ruined it."

"That's alright. I'm thinking it would have been worse had it been my sister."

Lilly smiled, "I'm sorry." She leaned forward and kissed my cheek, "See you later, Seth." I almost passed out from joy.

Her brother snarled, "Lillium, we must go." I could have sworn that it looked like he had fangs. I shook my head, that couldn't be right.

Lilly glared at her brother, "I'm not a child, Nigel."

His eyes narrowed at me, "Yes, you are, Lillium."

"I won't be for long." He put a hand on her shoulder and she followed him, but flashed me a heartbreaking smile. I wandered for an hour or so before finding myself at Emily and Sam's.

Now Jacob was shaking my shoulder, "Seth, what's up with you? Seth!"

"I imprinted." I hadn't meant to say it. I hadn't meant to tell anyone about her, she was mine.

My pack leader stared open mouthed at me for a moment, "Really! That's great! Who is she? Do I know her? When are you bringing her to meet the pack?"

"Jake! I don't know, I just met her today!"

Jake slumped into the sofa, "Why didn't you say so? Do we at least get to know her name and what she looks like?"

"Her name is Lilly."

"Lilly, huh? Tell me more."

"Yeah, tell us more." Damn, our discussion had pulled the whole pack near.

"She just moved here with her family. She's the second oldest of seven. She has really wavy brown hair that looks dark red in the sunlight. She has silver eyes."

"Silver!" Paul exclaimed.

I smiled, her silver eyes were only a part of her, but they held a point of mystery, "Yes, her eyes are silver. So are her twin's. She said that they got them from their father. He's a gardener. All of her siblings have flower themed names, even her adopted sister."

The questions went on and on, until Billy called them off of me. The meeting lasted until late and most of us decided just to crash where we were, Emily made Sam get up and go to bed.

The next morning, we, Jacob, Quil, Embry and I, decided to go see the Cullen's. It was early, the sun just rising, but no one could really tell, it was cloudy. The guys were still teasing me when I smelled something. Lilly.

We were near where I had passed her to her brother. Two female voices suddenly sprung out of the morning silence.

"What's on your mind?"

"What do you mean?"

"Come on Wolfe, something's wrong. I'm not stupid."

We heard the voices and formed a circle, backs inward, looking for the origin.

Jacob was first, "Um…guys… I think they're above us."

The four of us jerked our heads up.

The voices spoke again, "It's nothing, Holly." The trees above us rustled slightly.

"Wait up, I feel something."

"Let me be."

"I'll do no such thing."

The voices were British, "Lilly?" I asked.

Someone shrieked and I heard a branch snap. Holly jumped down from a branch to our right, but landed on her feet like a cat and her sister fell into the middle of our circle on her butt.

Lilly jumped up and wiped her backside before looking up at us. Lilly blushed when she saw me, "Wow…this is embarrassing. Um…hi Seth."

I laughed at the sudden pink coloring to her cheeks, "Hey, Lilly, nice of you to drop in. Do you climb trees often?"

The pink darkened, "No, not really. Tree climbing is Holly's thing. I'd much rather stay firmly on the ground." She shot a dark look at her sister.

Holly only glared back, her green eyes void of any joyful or teasing emotion, "Lilly, I didn't say you had to climb the tree too. I could hear you just fine. It's not my fault that your balance is substandard."

"Hah! Substandard! You're a freaking bat! You make tight wire walkers look like they have substandard balance."

"Lilly, you're being rude."

Lilly's blush deepened further, "I feel like an idiot now. Thanks sis."

Holly waved a hand in the air as the turned away, "No problem, now I'll be alone."

Her sister was a mysterious little witch. That was for sure. "Lilly, are you okay?"

She smiled, "I'm fine, my ego is a little bruised though. I've totally embarrassed myself in front of three strangers." She looked shyly at the ground, "Would you mind introducing us so I'll have names to put on the death warrants?"

I laughed and the others just continued to stare at her dumbly, "Lilly, these are other members of my…tribe." I figured it was the best word, "This is Jacob, Quil and Embry." They each smiled and waved when I said their names."

She smirked, "It's nice to meet you all. I'd introduce you to my sister, but I doubt we'd be able to find her. She's good at disappearing. I'm Lillium just Lilly though, please. I don't like my real name very much." She looked levelly at Jacob, "You are the leader."

We all gawked at her, "How did you know?" Jake asked.

She winked at him and I wanted to punch him, "Like I told Seth. I have six siblings and a twin brother. You learn to be observant or end up with nasty things in your bed at night."

Jacob laughed the tension off, "I've heard younger siblings can be brats." He pulled me into a headlock, "Me and Seth wouldn't know anything about younger siblings. We're the youngest in our families."

A dark shadow passed behind Lilly's eyes, but then her smile returned, "Where were you guys headed?"

I looked at Jacob and he shrugged, "We're headed to the Cullen's house."

"They live near here?" We all nodded. "Would you want to come to my house before you go? My mother would love to feed you all breakfast."

Again, we all glanced at Jacob and again we received a stiff nod. The serious display was ruined when Jacob's stomach growled. He looked away and cleared his throat.

"Great!" Lilly exclaimed. She turned away, but the turned back, shaking a finger in thought, "Um… you might not want to touch the plants in the garden. My father likes the exotics. They aren't always friendly. Some of them bite."

We followed her for about two minutes before, "Lilly! You've returned home my beautiful flower. How did your discussion go with Holly?" The man that had embraced Lilly had blond hair and the same silver eyes her and her twin shared. This must be their father. Lilly shoved him off and held up her hands in a defensive fighting posture. Her father looked sad, "My flower, are you angry with me? Have I done something to hurt my sweet Lillium? Did Holly hurt you? Oliver isn't up yet so your mother wouldn't know…"

The man started to ramble. Lilly punched him in the face. "Dad! I've brought guests."

Her father held a hand over his now bleeding nose, "Well why didn't you say so? Your mother was just putting breakfast on the backyard table. The twins wanted to eat outside." He walked away and Lilly hid her face in her hands.

Her embarrassment was painful to me. I put a hand on her shoulder, "Lilly, he's not that bad. You caught my mom in a calm mood. You just wait until it finally hits her that I brought a girl home; she'll be like a maniac."

Lilly smiled, "You mean it?"

"Yeah, I do."

"I'm glad." Lilly took the hand I had put on her shoulder into her own. "Let's go."

I looked back at the others and they smirked at me, I was going to be in even more embarrassment than before.

I could see a house from between the trees when Lilly stopped. In an instant, she had whipped around and was glaring at the trees beside us. Something rustled in the brush.

Hope you liked it!!! Next chap will be up this weekend.

Thank!
