Hey Alpha. I hear in my head. I groan and look at a sleeping Jade next to me.

Cat, what is it?

You forgot.

About what?

The meeting at the barn.

I smack my forehead. I had completely forgotten.

Dude you know how light of a sleeper Jade is she woke up when a door creaked that one time, how the hell do I get there?

Well, you could always bring her.

CAT. That is the worst idea I've heard in a long time.

Well, you're gonna have to tell her sometime.

But she'll wanna be changed…won't she?

Probably, but if she really likes you, she'll accept that you can't just yet.

Caaat!

Your choice, but I think she's gonna go crazy if she wakes up and no one's here.

I sigh, turning to the sleeping girl. Damn she was beautiful.

I stroke her hair and feel a flutter in my stomach.

I bite my lip. If I take her, she's gonna freak out. If I don't, she's gonna freak out. If I take her, she's might not ever talk to me again. If I don't, she might not ever want to even see me again.

I was exaggerating, I know, but still. I bite my lip so hard I draw a little blood, but it heals quickly.

I finally make up my sleep-clouded mind and shake the girl's shoulder softly.

Her eyes snap open to reveal emerald green orbs, staring at me questioningly. She wasn't crabby until the morning I guess.

"I completely forgot, but I was supposed to meet some people at midnight. I was wondering if you want to come?" I whisper.

The night makes everything grayscaled, and she nods softly. "Yeah, sure."

We get out of bed and run a brush through our sleep-hair. I change into sweats and a sweatshirt, Jade puts on the same. My hair's in a low pony and I'm wearing my glasses.

I grin as she starts to head to the car.

"Nope, we gotta walk." I tell her and she turns to me, horrified.

"No way."

Skylar and I are here, everyone's freaking out. You're ten minutes late Tori.

I groan and respond to the entire pack. Everyone chill your asses, I'll be there soon.

I don't get an answer, so I take Jade by the hand and lead her down the street, and into a forest.

"Tori where the hell are we going?"

A blue mist rolls out from beneath the Spanish moss and I grin at the way she looks in the moonlight.

I don't answer her, instead marching forward. We get to a clearing and I smile to myself, cocking my head towards the barn, the way a dog would. I can hear the sounds of wolves partying already.

I follow the noise and Jade's trailing behind me, confused. I smile as a wolf falls in step with us. Cat's pure black.

Skylar soon joins us, her fur more white, but her eyes are a light, sky blue. I smile and march forward.

Jade looks terrified. "Those are wolves. Wolves."

I just shrug and pet Cat, who licks my hand in response.

Jade's looking at them, awed.

We reach the abandoned barn in no time, and the sounds of a party are extremely loud.

"Jeez Vega, what kinda people are you meeting here?" she grumbles.

I grin and walk in the front doors. I see about twenty wolfed-up people and two dozen humans, and of that half were making out on the walls.

I snarled. Cat and Skylar immediately dropped their heads submissively and the rest of my pack followed suit. I dragged Jade up on a table with me and held her by my side.

Everyone, she doesn't know she's my mate yet. Keep it cool.

Everyone nodded their heads and I made my eyes go to their wolfish color.

"Everyone, say hi to Jade." I said, authority dripping from my voice.

The wolves transformed back to humans and Jade's jaw dropped.

"Hi Jade." They all said, not in unison but good enough.

"Thank you." I said, and stepped down from the table.

Jade looked at me in wonder and I smiled. "Want a drink?" I whispered, letting my eyes go wolfish again.

"What." she stated.

I smiled at her and grabbed her wrist before taking her to the drinks table. I grabbed a shot and threw it back, grinning as I felt the effects of Wolfsbane run through my body.

"Who are you and what have you done with Tori Vega?" Jade asked quietly, seriously. I just grinned and pointed to the loft, where Skylar and Cat were furiously making out.

Cat. I warned.

Fine, jeez. She giggled and I sighed before turning back to Jade, who was open-mouthed.

I rolled my eyes and led her outside.

"Please tell me what's going on." Jade pleaded.

I grinned. "Let's swim first." I said, motioning to a lake about fifty yards from the barn. She nodded uncertainly and I led her to the lake, relishing the moonlight on her creamy skin.

Once there, I pulled off my sweats, leaving me in a bra and underwear. I smiled at her and dove into the lake, which was a lot deeper than it seemed.

I came back up and found Jade next to me. I led her out to the middle of the lake and onto the small island that we had found a few years ago.

I held her hand and helped her onto the tree branch that extended over the water.

"It's pretty." She said. I nodded my agreement and turned to her. We stared into each other's eyes for a while.

"God, you're gorgeous Jade." I whispered, barely letting the words out of my mouth.

Jade's eyes got big and I smiled softly.

I broke eye contact first, staring at the not-quite-full moon's reflection.

Jade's still staring at me, I can feel her gaze. I smile to myself and turn back, entranced once again by her eyes.

"You think I'm gorgeous?" her voice is beautiful.

I nod. "Should I count the ways?" I tease, and then look serious. "Your eyes. I can't get enough of them. They're cold, hard, but beautiful."

Jade blushes. I smile at her, but intentionally make my eyes darker than usual, lust-filled.

"Can you sing to me?" I whisper innocently. "Your voice is beautiful."

I know I'm almost stepping over the line here. Almost.

Jade looks at me suspiciously but complies.

"So I cross my heart and I hope to die

That I'll only stay with you one more night

And I know I've said it a million times,

But I'll only stay with you one more night."

My eyes widen, but I smile.

"Damn." I whisper.

She blushes.

"You are so beautiful Jade."

I'm almost over, almost over the line.

I turn my eyes wolf-color and her eyes widen.

I turn them back to chocolate brown and her expression softens.

"Can I kiss you?" I ask softly.

"What?"

"Can I kiss you." I state the question this time.

I see doubt flash in her eyes for a second. Finally, finally, she nodded.

I smile and scoot closer to the girl, pulling her head closer to mine. I tilt my head and she closes her eyes.

I gently push my lips against hers, and feel sparks explode in the back of my head.

I slowly move my lips against hers. She does the same.

After about thirty seconds, I break away and grin at her.

"You're beautiful." I say.

She's awed. I can sense it.

"That…" she whispers. I smile and jump off the branch into the water below, motioning for her to follow suit. She laughs and jumps in after me. We swim to the mainland, where I see Cat and Skylar and watching with electricity in their eyes.

Score. I hear in my head.

I roll my eyes and get on solid ground before turning to Jade.

"There's something I have to show you." I say slowly.

She nods expectantly. I take a deep breath and change, right there in front of her.

"Holy shit." Jade says, speechless.

I nudge her hand and turn back to human.

"What…are you?"

"I'll tell you tomorrow, beautiful. For now, I have some council matters I need to take care of. Skylar will take you back to my house." I tell her, and Sky nods from behind me. Without hesitation, I peck her lips and head inside, Cat behind me.

"That was quite a kiss." The redhead commented. I promptly shoved her into the wall. She laughed and followed me up to the loft.

There's hay everywhere, which is super annoying, but oh well.

I let my voice be alpha-fied, all strong and commanding.

"I have just sealed the bond between my mate and I." I nod at them. They nod back.

"Now, she's not yet a werewolf, but I will turn her when I get the chance." I say and they nod.

"Good. Now, you are free to stay with the pack here or go get some rest at home. Meet here an hour before midnight in two days, on the full moon. I understand we have five newborn wolves that will be changing for the first time, and before you ask, Cat has generously volunteered to babysit."

"Any questions?"

Cat growled and I smirked. "Dismissed."

I turned to her and flashed a grin before climbing out of the hay loft and running straight home. When I get there, Jade's already asleep.

Hi y'all. So not much to say, this chapter sorta took control of itself, but we got a kiss :). Sorry it was so fluffy, there's trouble ahead, don't worry.

The song Jade sang in the first actual chapter was My Heroine by The Maine. The song in this chapter was the chorus from One Last Night by Maroon 5. Both are great songs, I recommend you check them out.

Also, just to be clear, the initials on Skylar's tattoo are CV because of Cat Valentine. Her mate and loving girlfriend. Yeah.

Thank you all, and remember to dream forever!
