Jake's POV

After school and the shock of the super healing I now have wore off, I headed straight into the forest to the clearing where I'm supposed to be taught how to phase into my wolf form. I didn't have time to run home and put my stuff up since we needed to take advantage of the day while it's stopped raining, so I sat my bag down against the trunk of a tree as I saw Sam standing against one with only a pair of thin shorts on and his arms crossed.

I tugged off my long sleeve shirt, burning up in it. Today was a cold day, or so I assumed since everyone was bundled up at school. I had to wear something suitable as if I actually felt the chill in the air. I was still in those thin jogging pants, so I bent down to roll them up into some shorts, they were too short to be pants on me anyway as Seth had pointed out.

I sighed as the cold air blew across my skin. It felt good, not cold. I walked over to where Sam was standing, and he looked at me and smiled. "Hey Sam, ready to begin my training?"

"Hey Jake." He greeted, I was so ready to learn how to control this shit and kick some vampire ass (starting with the one that almost attacked Seth). "Not entirely…we need to talk a bit first."

He sounded serious, I hoped nothing was wrong. "Sure, what do we need to talk about? And where are Paul and Quil?"

"I sent them to scout the area," He started, pushing himself away from the tree and uncrossing his arms. "That vampire they encountered, I suspect he'll be back."

"The one that attacked Seth?!" Excitement and anger surged in my veins, I was ready, I hoped the son of a bitch came back, he'd have to deal with me this time and I won't let him get away.

"Yes, although he didn't necessarily attack Seth." Was he defending that bloodsucker? No fucking leech should even look at my Seth. I gave him a look that could kill and he added, "But we won't allow him to have that chance again."

"Not with me around." I muttered, thinking about what could have happened sent a chill down my spine and an anger arose in me that I couldn't quite control. I began to shake, and the same heat that I felt the first time I phased and today when my eye healed flooded my body.

"Calm down Jake, you must control your emotions…I know how important Seth must be to you." He tried to console me. I wanted nothing more than to kill that vampire, but as he mentioned Seth I began to feel calmer, not entirely, but the shaking stopped. Seth is the most important thing to me…wait, why would Sam say that anyway?!

"Actually, I wanted to talk to you about Seth, which is another reason I sent Paul and Quil away for the time being."

Oh shit…does he know?! He knows! Seth is going to be so pissed, he clearly wanted us to come out together, he wanted to remain a secret until then…I hope he won't be too pissed, Sam is probably so disgusted. I hope he doesn't bawl me out, I'd hate to have to kick his ass in defense of Seth.

"Wh-what about him?" I stuttered, bracing myself for Sam's words and preparing to defend mine and Seth's relationship.

"I was there at the Clearwater's after you first phased and I saw you two…together." He admitted a bit nervously, he seemed to be choosing his words carefully. I had forgot completely about how Sam was checking in on me, he must have been so shocked…but he doesn't sound mad or disgusted or anything and he even saw us together.

"Ohh…and?" I urged, he wanted to talk but he is dragging this on longer than I like, just get it over with dammit!

"Well I just want you to know that I'm okay with it, I wish nothing ill toward your relationship with Seth." he told me. I was utterly shocked, Seth made it seem as if no one would be okay with our feelings toward one another, which I'll admit I thought the same, but I don't care. But Sam…he seems to be truly okay with it, maybe this will help Seth realize we don't have to hide ourselves, help him realize what we share shouldn't be hidden. Plus anyone who has a problem with me and him can answer to me personally.

"There is something you should know about when you phase however." He added on. I smiled at him, truly appreciative of him at the moment, he could tell me anything and not make me angry with him. He used to be such a creep, but I guess you get like that when you can turn into an animal and need more people to help you protect all your loved ones. "It is inevitable that the pack finds out about you two, I don't know if you planned on telling anyone but they will unfortunately know all about it."

I assume he meant Paul and Quil by that. What does he mean by inevitable? Is there some sort of no secrets rule to be in this pack? By god, they'll know when I want them to know, or when Seth wants them to know, I'm not taking a vow of honesty or any kind of shit like that to be in this little gang. I'll learn to phase and protect Seth myself, a one man pack.

"Why…its none of their business?!" I almost shouted, he in fact found one thing to piss me off, he can't make me tell them, that's between me and Seth. Seth doesn't want anyone to know, and no one will until he's ready…besides Sam but he saw us.

"Well there is this thing that when we are phased…we can read each other's mind." What…the…fuck?! I thought I was a damn wolf, not some goddamn mind reader, when the fuck can wolves do that? "It can only happen when we are in wolf form and we can only read the minds of other members of the pack who are also in their wolf form."

I was utterly blown away…as if turning into a fucking animal didn't have to be weird enough, we get super healing powers (which I'll admit is beyond cool) and we can read each other's minds?!

"Why…how…what?!" I said in disbelief. "What the fuck?!"

"It's just our minds become interlinked, allowing us to communicate more efficiently and strategize without the enemy knowing." He continued to explain. "Unfortunately, it is involuntary and whatever is on the forefront of your mind can be heard by the other pack members."

This is not good. I don't know a time when I'm not thinking about Seth…and my thoughts aren't always on a friendly level about the boy. I'm fucked, Paul and Quil are going to find out as soon as I phase and are going to raise hell, not to mention Seth will find out and be mad at me. I already can't tell him that I'm a werewolf, not just yet anyway, (I'm going to whether Sam likes it or not) I can't exactly explain to him that Paul and Quil read my mind and found out that I was utterly in love with him.

"Well…this sucks ass, Seth didn't want anyone to know just yet." I said with a heavy sigh. What am I going to do?

"If you can just keep him out of your thoughts while your phased they won't notice," he started, he apparently didn't want them finding out so soon either. It would only make things rough for me and Seth.

"Yea…not possible. I just won't start phasing yet." I said, flopping down to the ground, resting my head on my knees.

"No Jacob, you have to learn to control this, I don't feel comfortable with you around anyone until your stable." he told me, and there was some authority in his voice that I couldn't force myself to argue with. I can't believe he's still on the whole 'me being unsafe' thing again, kind of pisses me off. "Besides we need your help to protect the res."

I nodded and stood up again, ready as I was when I first got here.

"I'm going to tell Paul and Quil to come now." He said, and he bent down to remove his shorts…what the fuck?!

"WHOA there Sam…what are you doing?!" I asked, putting my hands in front of my face to block my eyesight. I didn't want to see Sam's bare ass…much less his dick, what the fuck was he doing?

"Jake, I'm just going to phase and tell them to come." He said, letting his shorts fall to the ground and I turned from him to avoid seeing him naked. "Phasing rips our clothes."

Ohhh…right. I thought he was going to try and like come on to me or something. Damn me, just cause I like guys now I have to get all freaked out if I see another one naked? The only one I would actually like to see naked is Seth though. That just…caught me off guard with Sam, but I suppose the whole clothes being ripped thing makes sense.

I turned around then, as I heard a soft growl, and I saw Sam had turned into a huge black wolf. He was nearly as big as me! Stood about to my mid waist…and damn was he huge. I got excited, I wanted to phase so bad…well except for the whole mind reading thing…I'm not to excited about that.

I then heard two distinct howls somewhere within the forest. Sam shook in front of me and I saw his fur recede back into his skin, his long muzzle retracted back into his human face and his ears dropped as his shot black hair faded back onto his head. He was on all fours when he was phased back completely and he stood up. I got a full view of all that was Sam and I turned away, I felt so embarrassed, my face was getting hotter then it already was.

When I turned around two new wolves (one a deep chocolate brown and the other a grayish color) jumped into the clearing out of the thick shrubbery of the forest. They shook and went through the same transformation as Sam, and then I was greeted by the bare naked asses of Quil and Paul.

Great, I was in the middle of three naked men. My face grew hotter and probably more red than it already was, I could feel it. This is so fucking awkward.

"There you guys are." Sam said, still standing there naked like it was the most natural thing ever. (Well maybe it is natural but I still don't wanna see it!).

"Yea, everything was clear too, no sign of that vampire from earlier this week." I heard Paul inform Sam.

"That's good, but I fear he will return." added Sam.

Yea and when he does, I'll be waiting. I thought. I was so ready to kill that motherfucker, and I'd probably feel more excited if I wasn't feeling so damn awkward standing in the middle of my friends who are naked!

"Either way, lets get down to business." Sam continued, looking over at me. "Jake are you ready?"

"Hell yes!" I said turning to Sam, I wanted to get this over with, get home, or well maybe go visit Seth if this doesn't take so long.

Damn, gotta clear my mind of him. This is going to suck, I can't stop thinking about Seth. I love him too much, he's always on my mind. We're going to get busted, and he's going to be pissed.

"Drop them pants Jake." Quil said a little too excitedly, and I realized I had to get naked also. Goddammit, I don't mind ripping these pants, they aren't mine anyway…then again I probably have to return them to the resource center… "Let's see that centimeter peter."

Well…that was odd and pissed me off at the same time. "Quil…what the fuck, why are you so eager to see his dick?" I heard Paul ask and I couldn't help but laugh. I then dropped my pants, finding my courage (really just wanting to make Quil feel bad about his average size…yea I looked, well I would say glanced, but I was bigger. He's always competing with stupid shit. I'm about to put him to shame though.)

I turned to Quil proudly and smirked. He looked down and then looked away, and I couldn't help but laugh again, Paul did too. I heard Sam cough, gaining our attention, "Okay…so that was…weird Quil." He said and coughed again. "Anyway, Jake, it's really simple to phase. I'll try to explain as best as I can, but it's something you have to just feel."

I heard two low growls and saw that Paul and Quil phased back to their wolf form. Quil still wasn't looking at me and Paul seemed to snicker instead of pant. I smiled again, I didn't like to show off but he asked for it.

"Jake just let the animal in you take control…let the heat pool in your body and don't fight it."

I tried to do as Sam told me and after a good twenty minutes of willing that damn animal out of me I finally was able to phase. I could feel my body grow hotter and I trembled as the wolf inside of me took over. I bent down, my legs going weak as the shaking grew harder, and on all fours I could hear my bones snap in two but I felt no pain this time. All I could feel was that same heat I felt in my eye today. Then I heard my bones snap back, and I felt my skin crawl as fur exploded all over my body. My face felt like it was being pulled forward as I assumed my muzzle was forming and I went blind for about two seconds as my eyes changed also.

I was then completely in my wolf form, looking up at the naked form of Sam Uley. He smiled and I tried to say something but it came out as a bark. That was odd, but I suppose we can't talk in this form.

"Good job Jake." Sam approved, he seemed to be fighting back a laugh however.

Yea Jake, nice job, you got that faster than I did.

I turned around at that, looking at Paul as if he said something, but he was quiet as ever.

Yea I guess you did alright.

There was another sound, but I heard nothing. It was as if I was thinking that myself, but I wasn't.

Jake, the mind reading thing, didn't Sam tell you? I heard or rather…thought…the voice of Paul said that inside my mind.

Oh right… I thought again, trying not to think about what I'm not supposed to think about.

What aren't you supposed to think about? asked Paul in my mind, oh shit I forgot they could hear everything.

Yea, anything you think we hear. Came the voice of Quil, this was all kind of freaking me out.

Yea it's a bit weird, but useful when we are fighting. Paul invaded my mind once again.

"Jake, there is one thing we need to fix though." Came Sam's human voice, and I turned to look at him. He was smiling wide now and I had no clue what had caused such a wide grin. "Your fur, it's way to long…it's because of your long hair in your human form."

I then looked down at my paws, they were covered in long shaggy fur which did look way to long to fight in. I was happy though, my fur was white in some places and a deep russet orange in others. I liked my fur better than the others.

We heard that asshole.

Oh right, damn Quil, jealous cause my furs the coolest.

Yea, you have to cut that long hair of yours too, have fun with that Shaggy.

I will Scooby. I thought, and I heard Paul snicker again in a panting sort of way.

I really didn't want to cut my hair, but if it would solve this problem I won't mind, plus its hard to handle sometimes. I just hope Seth won't mind…oh…god dammit.

Why would Seth care about your hair? Came the curious voice of Paul and I mentally cursed myself again, which of course they heard.

Is he who your not supposed to think about? Why aren't you, I'm confused. Quil thought.

No, its nothing. I told them, and I could hear their minds racing with a few other questions which I ignored.

Guys, we may have a problem. I think Sam thought that, and I turned around to face him and was met with his wolf form. Thank god he was here in our thoughts to help me out.

A slight breeze blew through the forest then, rustling the leaves and blowing my long fur about. Then I smelled what I heard in all three of their minds…Vampire.

I'd never smelled it before, but it was such a bittersweet smell I almost phased back right then so I wouldn't smell it as clearly. It was like the sweetest perfume tainted with the coppery smell of blood and death. I assumed it would lure any human in, only we could smell the true nature of their scent, the blood they drink so mercilessly from their victims coursing through their own veins.

"Well if it isn't my favorite wittle puppy dogs." came a voice from out of the trees. The vampire scent got heavier, and I turned in the direction the voice came from. Out of the shrubbery stepped a man with piercing red eyes, long unruly blonde hair, and a smile that was almost to wicked to match his angelic face. I heard the snarls of my pack brothers erupt from their throats, and I recognized the man as the one Seth described. I felt my lips pull back over my teeth and a snarl erupt from my own mouth mingling in with my brothers'.

"I've come to play."
