A/N: When Tori was walking past the room and mated Jade, that was a day that students could come and set up their lockers or use classrooms for tutoring or something, not an actual school day.

It sounds like gunshots, I'm serious. I look down and see that Jade's awake, terrified. Ice is almost awake; she just needs another hour or so.

I can't find the source of the noise. I step outside and come face-to-face with none other than Aiden Vega.

"Hello Tori, mind if I pop in for a bit?"

"Yes actually, I do."

"Mm, too bad, I don't care if you mind actually." With that he brushed past me and sat on the couch next to Jade.

"Hm, I see you've marked her." He comments.

I roll my eyes and growl when his eyes travel to very inappropriate places.

"No." I tell him and he practically pouts.

"What the fuck is your problem, dude?" I ask the creep.

"I want this territory and you won't give it to me."

"What does that have to do with Jade?"

"She's your weak spot." He says simply before sauntering out of my house.

I hate him so much.

Ice wakes up shortly, rubbing her eyes. She saunters out of the house and I have a feeling that I'll never see her again. Pity.

The rest of the day passes quickly and at exactly six that night, I realize that this was the last day of summer.

Jade smirks at me as I tell her my revelation.

"Don't forget about the whole make-out-against-a-locker deal." She warns and I smile.

"Trust me, I would never forget that."

She chuckles.

We decide to turn in early, simply because we need energy for tomorrow.

When we wake up, Jade runs home to get some of her clothes, which look sexy as hell, and I change into a dark blue cami with black skinny jeans.

We're about to eat breakfast when a thought occurs to me.

"Wait." I say before dashing upstairs and grabbing the necklace off my vanity. I run downstairs and put it on Jade's neck, so there's now a wolf pendant hanging in her cleavage.

I smile, kiss her cheek, and serve breakfast up. Eggs and sausage. Delicious.

We get to school without a hitch and go to first hour as per usual, pretending like we still hated each other's guts and I was still innocent and she wasn't a big softie when it came to me.

In the passing period between 2nd and 3rd period, I wink at Jade. She smiles and shouts, loud enough that everyone, including my friends, stops what they're doing. "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE VEGA?"

"I'M JUST SAYING THAT YOU MIGHT WANT A SIMPLER PLOT FOR YOUR PLAY!"

"WHO CARE-"

She's cut off as I push her against the lockers and kiss her with a speed and ferocity that surprises even me. My tongue cuts into her mouth and I feel her smile.

Her lips push against mine and I feel her melt against me.

You know, it's said that Zeus created humans with two of everything, but decided we were too powerful and split us in two. We spend our entire lives looking for our other half.

I think, no, I know, I've found mine. We're still kissing when I realize that my hands are tangled in her hair and there are a few people videoing us.

Once again, our eyes pop open at the same moment. Her eyes are bright and shiny, and I send her a wink.

I pull away, wiping my mouth, and take a bow, which Jade does as well.

Everyone's frozen. I giggle and pull Jade in for another kiss, more chaste this time, but not exactly innocent.

I look up and see my friends staring at us in shock, Beck especially. I wave to them all and Jade kisses me again. We walk over holding hands.

"What the fuck?" Beck spits.

I smirk. "Well, Beckett, as you can see, Jade and I are dating, as in, girlfriend/girlfriend, we're-in-lesbians-with-each-other, I love you, kissy, sexy, sensual dating, and have been all summer."

His mouth falls open and I smirk.

The warning bell rings and I blow a kiss to my mate. "LOVE YOU!"

"LOVE YOU TOO!"

/

Last bell is about to ring, and then I'm free. I feel the excitement bubbling up at the prospect of being released from school, and I'm extremely bored.

I decide to try something new.

Jade. I pulse, my mind searching slowly. Jade, if you can hear me, sneeze.

I hear a sneeze. No way.

You can hear me?

Yeah.

I break out into a grin and wink at her. Last bell rings.

We agree to meet at Cat's car and go to our lockers. I'm about to run to the bathroom when I feel a stabbing pain in my side.

Tori! TORI! I hear a scream in my head. TORI HELP!

It's Jade.

Where are you?

I don't get a response.

I run out behind the building, in the alley that hardly anyone goes to.

Sure enough, there's Jade. Her head is bleeding and so is her stomach. Her eyes are half open, but I see that her skin is even whiter than usual. Shit. I lean down and scoop her in my arms before putting my legs on hyperspeed and running to my house.

I lay her down on my couch, and strip her to her underwear. I locate the bleeding, it's from just under her ribcage and her head has a small cut on it.

I look at it and notice it's a sword wound. It looks like silver.

They think I already turned her.

She's hissing in pain, but I kneel down next to her and look deep in her eyes.

"This means war." I say softly. "It's a form of war declaration when the alpha's mate is attacked. There's gonna be a formal meeting, but as of right now we're under attack."

I lick the wound and she watches it close. I immediately kiss her, our lips melding into one.

I pull away and toss Jade her clothes. She puts them back on and I smile softly at her before pulsing to everyone.

Jade was just attacked. Meeting tonight, and you know Aiden's pack will be there. As of now, if you see a rival pack member anywhere, you kill on sight. They think Jade's a wolf. I'm changing her tonight.

I look at Jade before helping her up. "They think you're a wolf."

"How? I thought you said we had to pass a ton of milestones or something?"

"We did. We've made love, we've mated, we've kissed, we've said I love you, I've saved your life…"

Jade slumps. "Can you change me then?"

I nod.

"When?"

"I don't know, but I think tonight's as good a night as any." I have a gleam in my eye and she catches it, grinning.

"Seriously?"

I nod and she pulls me into a hug. I smile and kiss her chastely before throwing on some sweats and a jacket.

I look at the clock. 5. How did that happen?

I blink and hold my hand out for Jade, who takes it willingly. I take a shuddering breath before meeting her eyes.

"If they attack you, I will die before you do." I tell her.

She narrows her eyes and purses her lips. "What do you mean?"

"I mean, I will die protecting you. I know you aren't big on the whole 'girls-need-protection' thing, but this is serious. I would rather die protecting you than kill myself."

Jade seems taken aback. "What…"

I press a finger to her lips and she pouts, which is quite possibly the sexiest thing to ever reach my eyes.

"Just know that I'd take a bullet for you."

She nods and I wrap her in a bone-crushing hug.

"Are you sure?" I whisper.

"About what?"

"Becoming one of us?"

"I've never been more positive."

I grin at her. "We have an hour or so to kill."

She nods.

"Wanna make out?"

She nods.

I gently push her down on the couch and-well, you know the rest.

Let's just say it ended with me giving Jade the most universe-shattering orgasm in the history of forever.

/

I wake up and notice that the sun's beginning to set. I shake Jade awake and she groans.

I smile and pull her up before gathering my clothes. I throw them on and wait by the door for Jade to finish grooming herself, which if you ask me took a lot longer than it should have, but whatever.

I lead her into the forest and over to the barn. We have a few hours to kill, which is good. She's gonna need all the time she can get. I swim back over to the island where we first kissed, and she follows me.

I pull her up and capture her lips one last time. "You're positive. There's no going back."

She nods tersely.

I smile and feel my eyes shift color. I lift her hair over her shoulders, exposing an ivory neck.

"Love you." I whisper before kissing the area I would be biting.

"Love you too."

"Ready?"

She swallows. "Yeah."

"On the count of three. One, Two…"

Okay, so apparently not a lot of you liked the last chapter. That's fine. But, please, please, please, understand that while I do this for my pure enjoyment, reviews are a vital part of any story because they tell the author what to do next. Not literally, but I've gotten like eight spin-off ideas from a few of your reviews.

Also, OCs are open again.

Finally, a lot happened in this chapter.

Oops I lied, another cliffhanger, I'm sorry.

Dream forever,
Hannah
