Hey guys! SOOOO sorry it took me so long to update this. Thanks for all the alerts and favorites that is what keeps this story alive! I only own Leighanne and Daxton please read and REVIEW! :)

Leighanne stood there in shock as she saw her best friend transform into a white tiger in front of her eyes.

Daxton ran towards the woods and when Leighanne started after her Quinn held her back.

"It's best to just let her go." Quinn said as Leighanne looked at him with a raised eyebrow.

"Just let her go? What if she loses control and kills someone?" Leighanne asked frantically as the boys laughed at her.

"She won't lose control. Shifters have self-control. Don't believe everything you see in movies Leigh." Quinn said as Leighanne let out the breath that she had been holding.

"Don't worry about it she will be back to herself by morning and she will learn to control her phasing." Sam explained.

"You sure?" Leighanne asked as Sam nodded.

"My best friend is a shifter and I have a vampire trying to fuck me. Got to love my life." Leighanne said under her breath as she got in her car.

~Arlene's House~

"Shit." Leighanne said as she put her car in park and saw her sister standing in the doorway with her arms crossed.

"Where have you been young lady?" Arlene said as Leighanne rolled her eyes.

"Arlene don't start with me please. I'm not in the mood." Leighanne said pushing past her sister and walking up the stairs.

"No you are going to tell me where you have been. While you are living in my house you will follow my rules." Arlene yelled as Leighanne clenched her fists.

"Arlene you are my sister… not my mother. Stop acting like a mother and start acting like my sister okay?"

"Leighanne, I'm just trying to protect you. You know how I feel about vampires." Leighanne said from the doorway of Leighanne's room.

"Yes I know. You have to realize Arlene that not all vampires are the same, just like not all people are the same." Leighanne said sitting down on her bed.

"When Momma died I promised her that I would protect you. So I want you to read these." Arlene said as she handed her sister a handful of pamphlets and stepped out of her room.

Leighanne sighed as she looked through the Fellowship of the Sun pamphlets that her sister had brought to her. She read all about how Rev. Steve Newlin and his wife started the church after Newlin's father was maliciously attacked by a vampire the summer before and how they strived to rid the world of ungodly creatures.

"Bunch of bullshit." Leighanne said as she threw the pamphlets down on the floor and took a match to them. "Hypocrites." She added as she opened her backpack and took candles and moved the rug to reveal a pentagram on the floor.

She lit the candles in a circle around the pentagram and took a knife out from her bag. She said the words that she had said so many times before and closed her eyes.

A knock from her window broke Leighanne's concentration, she quickly looked back to see Eric looking at her with a serious face.

"What do you want? Can't you see I'm busy?" She said as she opened the window.

"Invite me in." He said urgently as Leighanne just looked at him.

"NO! If my sister finds out you are here again she's going to kick me out." Leighanne said as Eric gritted his teeth and pushed her forcefully back and held her hands as his fangs extended.

"I don't have time for this Leighanne. You are in danger now invite me in!" Eric hissed as Leighanne rolled her eyes.

"Fine come in but if Arlene finds out you are going to find me a place to stay that's rent free." Leighanne said as she sat back down in her circle and began her ritual again.

"Leighanne you need to be quiet. Chant to yourself or something." Eric said sitting down on her bed.

"Eric it's the full moon I have to do this."

"I know you do just do it quieter you are drawing the wolves to you." Eric said making Leighanne raise an eyebrow.

"Excuse me?"

"You're drawing the wolves to you so shut up!" Eric yelled a little. "Sorry now I know why they are after you and how you got your powers. Did you ever dabble in black magic?" He added as Leighanne began to blow out the candles.

"Yeah I experimented a little when I first got to college. It scared the shit out of me when I first started getting my visions so I stopped. Are the wolves after me because they know my past?" Leighanne asked as she sat down on the bed beside him.

"Yes. They want to use you to do their dirty work. I won't let them get to you I promise Leighanne." Eric said as Leighanne went back to her ritual and Eric sat on the bed watching her.

~Later~

Daxton rolled over with a groan and sat up quickly when she realized she was in the woods.

"What the fuck?" She whispered as she slowly got up. "Hello? Can anyone hear me? Of course no one can hear you idiot you are in the middle of nowhere." Daxton said rolling her eyes as she walked around the woods unsure of what happened hours before.

"Cher?" A voice asked making Daxton stiffen up. She quickly turned around as she saw Alcide walking towards her in nothing but a tight pair of blue jeans.

"What happened to me?" Daxton asked.

"You shifted for the first time." Alcide answered making Daxton look at him with wide eyes.

"No. No. No. This can't be happening. I was just dreaming. I don't have a long lost brother I am completely normal. I'm not a freak!" she yelled as Alcide walked closer to her.

"You aren't a freak darlin'. I'm a werewolf remember? So if you are a freak I am a freak too." Alcide said with a smile as he took his hand under her chin and lifted her face so she was looking in his eyes.

"I promise I will help you get through this. First couple times are scary. I've woken up naked in random places wondering what the hell happened the night before, how much I had drank. After a little while you'll be able to control the shifting and be alert as its happening. You won't believe what a rush it is it's almost as good as sex." Alcide said with a laugh as Daxton grinned at him.

"Really? Care to test out that theory?" She said as she walked towards him unashamed of her body.

"Daxton, I can't." Alcide said as she kept walking towards him smiling as he was breathing heavy.

"Why not?" She asked in a whisper as her lips were inches from his.

"I just… fuck it." Alcide said as he crushed his lips to hers.
