NOLA POV:

I glared at the phone and hissed. I wasn't going to talk to her. She abandoned me in my werewolf time of need! Emily gave me a Look. "Please Nola. Just talk to her for 2 minutes."

Reluctantly I took the phone and she stepped out of the kitchen to give me some privacy. "Yes Mother?"

"I'm sorry Nola," she said in a bored tone. I wanted to reach through the phone and strangle her scrawny, non wolf neck. "But part of the reason I divorced your father was that he was a filthy dog. And I will not live with dogs."
"You are so mean!" I screamed, slamming it down. I was shaking- hard. NO I told myself. Don't phase in the kitchen. Emily will kill me, or kick me out. Darn, couldn't help it. My clothes burst, and there I stood, a silver wolf in her kitchen. Before anyone could take note of my appearance, I ran out the door and took off through the woods, trampling any plant that got in my way.

Hey came Seth's voice in my head. You okay Nola?

No I muttered in my head. My mother kicked me out and called me a monster. I'm going to Alia's. You coming?

I could almost see the smile on his face as we took off for her house.

ALIA POV:

As soon as I heard what happened to Nola, I started to shake in anger. Mrs. James had always been so nice and then she went and did THIS?! Before I knew it, I had phased for the first time.

My pretty green sundress lay shredded on the floor, and I sat there, breathing heavily.

Lee Lee? Came a voice in my head. Nola. Oh my cheese curls, did you phase young lady?

I laughed, which sounded more like a yipping noise. Yeah, I did.

Alia! Seth sounded panicked. Honey, don't move. We're coming to you.

I rolled my eyes. He was so over protective. Seth, babe, I'm fine. Don't freak out. I'm in my room.

A few seconds later, I heard my mom scream bloody murder, and then Seth and Nola, both in wolf form, appeared in my room. Nola whined sadly. I walked over and nudged her with my nose. She bowed her head and whimpered.

Why don't we phase back and I'll get you some clothes? I asked her, and she nodded. Seth, get out for 5 minutes.

But Lee Lee he moaned, and I growled. Fine. I'll be back… He slid out of the room, no doubt sulking in the hall.

Nola helped me calm down, and then we phased back, then raiding my closet for clothes. We settled down in jeans and navy and white striped American Eagle camis. Then we let Seth in, who was back to human form.

"Where's Embry?" I asked, plopping down on the bed next to Nola. She looked exhausted, no doubt from her late night with her mother.

She shrugged. "I think he's patrolling."

Seth sighed heavily. "Is this going to turn into a girly thing?" he wanted to know.

Nola smirked. "Something like that. Should we call Quinn and Claire?"

Seth popped up. "Yeah, I'm outta here!"

Nola POV:

Claire looked over at me from where she was scarfing down a bowl of popcorn. Turns out, she had phased that night too. Quinn had yet to phase, but I think she was okay with it, especially after my mother called us monsters.

"I didn't tell Quil," she said, cramming a handful of popped corn into her mouth. I think phasing made us hungry. "He'll probably go all spastic and go into hysterics."

Quinn laughed. We'd gone to her house, where she had gotten out a pretty denim skirt she'd made and was currently working on the embroidery of a small wolf at the bottom. It was absolutely stunning. I may just have to borrow it.

She'd put me to work embroidering a t shirt, and so Alia was doing one too. Claire was eating popcorn and stitching a flower on a pair of jeans. "So what are you going to do now Nola?" Claire asked. She gave me a sad look.

"Well, I can't live with Sam and Emily forever," I said. "They have enough kids to deal with. And I can't stay with Embry yet. That would just freak the crap outta me." They nodded understandingly.

"You can stay here," Quinn said quickly. "We can share a room, because there's not another one."

I gave her a small hug. "Thanks, sis. But I'm not gonna make you share a room." I sat there for a moment, thinking. And that's when it hit me.

"The little house!" I cried, making Alia jump.

"What is the little house?" Quinn asked, looking confused.

"It's this insanely cute house behind the garage that the guys own," Claire explained. "It's fully renovated, and just needs someone to move into it. And, it's only about 5 minutes away."

"Not to mention that living there won't cost anything!" Alia chimed in. "The boys paid off the garage, so the house came with it. It's free!"

"We have to call Jake," I said quickly, digging my phone out of my pocket.

"Hello, La Push garage," came Jake's voice.

"Hey Jake," we all chorused. "It's Alia, Claire, Quinn and Nola."

"Hey what's up?" Jake asked.

"I was wondering if the little house behind the garage was still open." I asked hopefully. Please, I need this place, I prayed. "I'm kinda in need of a place to stay."

"Sure sure," Jake said. "Yeah, it's still available. Can you move in tomorrow morning?"

I breathed a sigh of relief. "Tomorrow morning sounds amazing, thank you Jake."

I hit the END button and then looked at them. "I HAVE A HOUSE!" I shrieked happily.

"Yay!" Quinn cried. "Ouch, I stabbed myself with a needle." She looked up and we all started to laugh hysterically.

"Okay, so we're going to move you in tomorrow," Alia said, taking a notebook out of her backpack she'd dragged along with her. She drew up a quick layout of the house, and we decided where everything would go. Thank God it came with furniture. I hadn't had time to drag the stuff like a bed out of my house when I was kicked out.

We spent 10 minutes with that, then all collapsed and fell asleep.

"Wakey wakey!" came a voice early the next morning. I heard my best friends moaning as I opened my eyes to find Brady and Collin looking down at us, looking like they were on sugar highs. "Good morning, everyone! We have a busy day ahead of ourselves. And we get to move into the new house!"

"Brady, you idiot!" Alia moaned. She threw a pillow at him. "What time is it?"

"10 AM," Collin laughed.

Oh. So it wasn't early. Moaning, we rolled out of bed and ate some muffins before the guys drove us to Sam and Emily's to pick up my boxes. We got them, and then drove to the garage, where the guys were already up and working on the cars.

All I saw was Embry.

Shirtless, oil on his jeans Embry. I pressed my face to the window in awe. Wow, he was hot. I wasn't one to normally go all gaga over my imprint, but WOW.

"Get your nose off my window," Collin scolded, and Alia giggled. She knew what I was looking at. AS soon as the doors opened, I was running across the grass to him. He caught me up in his arms, spinning me around in a circle before setting me down to kiss me.

"Wow, I haven't gotten a greeting like that in a while," he chuckled.

I smiled. "Well, you can get used to it. I'm moving in the house, okay?" He nodded. "Can you help me carry some boxes?"

He smiled and we went and picked up boxes. I was actually able to pick up 5 at a time, which made me thrilled. Werewolf strength rocked!!!

After 7 hours of moving stuff in and skipping lunch, we were all starving. So the entire wolf pack and every single imprint went to dinner. As we walked into the buffet, I could tell the waiters and waitresses were terrified at our size and how many of us there were.

We took Tori with us, and as soon as they saw each other, they just stared. Imprinting was working its magic! After Collin slapped Brady, Nessie had to drag a love sick Tori away. They ended up all cuddly in the corner anyway. Gag me with a spork.

Oh yeah, I had an obsession with sporks.

There were 18 of us. I missed Kim and Jared. If they had been there, we would have had 20. But if they hadn't left, I would never had met my sisters. Sob.

Unfortunately, I was starting to eat like the guys. I could eat as much as I wanted and not get sick or gain weight. I really liked that.

After we were all stuffed, I stood up. "Party at my house! Let's move!"

To get to the restaurant, we had taken 4 separate cars. I slid in the back with Quinn while Paul drove and he and Embry talked about the garage.

I poked Quinn in the side, and she started to giggle. That was her ticklish spot. I had figured it out a week ago, and now I used it to my advantage. I saw Embry and Paul look in the mirror to peer back at us. What they saw was Quinn grabbing my ankle and tickling my foot. "EEK!" I shrieked in laughter. "Paul, watch the road. Embry, watch the road to make sure Paul doesn't crash!"

They chuckled and turned to look at the road. Sam was driving his 4 door truck in front of us. Cole and Carly were in the back, waving at us like mad. We waved till they turned around, then went back to our tickling. I know, that sounds so weird. But we were weird.

Everybody had to look at everything in my house. I just sat back and let them enjoy it. The guys had the hockey game on in the living room. Emily was talking about some new curtains. My besties were going nuts over every little thing.

I smiled. It was good to be home.
