A/N: Thank you to all my lovely reviewers who include PerfectTwo, Michellehateshername, EclipseLover97, shelbron, and Hopeless Divine.

Unfortunately, we do not get to hear a lot about Devon in this chapter and he probably won't make an appearance to a couple later chapters, but we'll just have to see. :D

Sam didn't look like he believed me. "You don't know him?"

I shook my head and kept my gaze and face blank. "Nope." He sighed heavily and sat back on the floor closing his eyes. I wanted to disprove him, tell him not to worry about it and it was all a misunderstanding but I knew that would be stupid on my part. He really wouldn't believe me then and I'd be knee deep in shit.

Figuratively speaking that is, because that would just be gross.

I could feel my stomach fall out from underneath me. I forced Devon in the back of mind, I couldn't think about that, especially with Sam here. I had already made up my mind, if he was coming for me, let him come for me. I would not put Sam or Jacob in the middle of this.

I decided to change the subject quick, the longer we stayed on this the longer it caused trouble. "Uhm, Jacob said he's on patrol tonight?" I asked.

Sam's onyx eyes met mine and I could see the confusion. "Yes, why?"

"Oh no reason, could you just ask him if he could pick me up at five instead of seven? If we want to make it to what I have planned we need to leave earlier."

If it was possible, his eyes got darker. "Why is he picking you up?"

"'Cuz we're hanging out." I said cautiously. What I really wanted to say was we were going out on a date but I didn't even know if this counted as that. No, just hanging out; because we're friends, nothing else. I felt my heart sink a little.

Sam stared at me and seemed, angry? Why would he be angry? His fists balled up on the side of him and he bounced up from the floor. "Did he imprint on you Jay?" It was obvious he was trying to control himself.

"What the fuck is imprinting?" I asked. I tried racking my brain for the stories Joshua had told me but imprinting didn't ring a bell.

Sam let out a harsh laugh and swung his arms up in the air. "He did! He imprinted on you! And Embry knows."

"Sam! What's imprinting?" I asked standing up to face him. His body had slight tremors wracking it but I knew he wouldn't phase, they weren't that bad or he was really good at controlling himself.

He finally turned his eyes back on me and they were filled with an emotion I couldn't label. "Sam?"

"You should stay away from him Jay. Just please, try to stay away from him."

It took me a second to understand what Sam had just said. Stay away from Jacob? I barely knew him but my head seemed to swim at the idea of it. No, I couldn't do that. And besides, Jacob was everywhere; it'd be awfully hard to ignore him.

I wanted to scream at Sam and tell him to butt out of my business, but I tried to calm myself down. He was my big brother and was just trying to do his job. This whole sibling thing was new to the each of us; we had to make our mistakes. "Sam, I'm not going to do anything. We're just hanging out."

"It's not you doing anything Jay, it's him." He snarled. Yup, angry werewolf was officially in motion.

"I'm old enough to make my own decisions," I said as nicely as I could as I crossed my arms across my chest. It was a defense mechanism.

He stared at me shaking his head. "I'll call you later tonight or tomorrow," he muttered before he quickly walked out of my door. Less than a second I heard a wolf howl.

"What the fuck," I whispered.

Jacob's POV

It was raining out, as always and my mind kept traveling back to Jaelyn and our date tomorrow.

Well, not our date but our hanging out thingy. Whatever the hell you wanted to call it.

The fact is, we would be spending some time together. No Embry to constantly be giving me looks that were mixed between envy and criticizing. No Quil to make some stupid remark about how I had to man up or he'd be the one to personally steal her away from me.

Just me and Jaelyn.

Seventh and eighth periods were my favorite time of day, no matter how much I hated creative writing. I sucked, and I knew that but the teacher always gave us so much freedom in that class we could do anything as long as we stayed quiet and got the assignment passed in at the end of the week.

Just thinking of her made me feel better than I have in a long way. Doesn't sound to manly as Quil put it but he can just shove it. Ever since what happened, I swear the world has been out to get me. I couldn't escape the pain no matter where I went but Jaelyn fixed all that.

Oh hey there Jacob, just the world talking here. I know I've made your life a living hell lately, but Jaelyn will make it better. Don't hate me. Lots of love.

I was going crazy.

I heard someone walking up the ramp to the house and sat up. Whoever it was pounded on the door, a lot harder than necessary. "Geez, must be one of the guys." I muttered.

"Hello Sam. How are you?" Billy's old voice floated through the house to my ears and I froze. Sam must have found out, shit. He was not the biggest Jacob fan after what happened and I seriously doubt he wanted to talk to me about pack matters.

"Can I talk to Jacob?" He asked, practically sneering my name. So not here to discuss wolf business.

"Is this something that should be taken outside?" Billy asked and I could practically see the old man lifting an eyebrow questioning Sam. I sighed and got up, walking out into the tiny living room where they both were.

"Don't worry about it Dad. I'll be back," I told him as Sam flew out the front yard and I followed suit. I had no worries. The worst Sam could do is call me some names, threaten me, blah blah blah. Fact is, even I wouldn't want to take myself on it a fight. I mean look at these muscles. I looked down at my arms and smirked.

They were bigger than Sam's.

Shut up Jacob.

Sam kept walking until he was by my shed before he spun around to face me. He was only wearing a pair of cut off pair of jeans, he must've phased here.

"Care to explain anything to me Jacob?" He asked, his eyes dark like they always were when he was angry.

"Well the forecasts for tomorrow are calling for thunder storms so…"

"Shut up Jacob," He snarled. Whoa, he must really be pissed. For what, I have no idea. He knows that I can't change the imprint. I can do my best for Jaelyn, even if that means staying to the side while she lives her life but I can't change that it did happen.

"Sam, look. We both know…"

"We both know we can't change the fact that you imprinted," he mocked. He's been in my head way too much in the past. "But that just makes me angrier. There's no point in fighting with you, I know how the imprinting works." He stalked closer to me. "But I can swear that if you do anything to hurt her you will pay, alpha or no alpha. I just got her and she's had a not so easy life. Don't push her into anything Jacob. I know you; you're way too cocky for your own good."

He stalked towards me and I didn't move, didn't say anything. "You treat her like you did those other girls when you were away, I will personally rip off one of your limbs."

He glared at me and I returned it back, not backing down. Sam was clueless. I would never treat Jaelyn like those other girls, never.

I raised an eyebrow at him and he growled at me before he jogged back off into the woods and phased.

I heard his paws thud against the forest floor as he ran away. I leaned against the wall of my shed and hung my head.

What if Jaelyn found out about when I was gone? She wouldn't want me. I stood up and slammed my fist against a tree feeling my knuckles crack. I knew they'd heal in less than a minute, and I hated myself for that.

Jay's POV

I stood in front of my closet, glaring at my clothes. Jacob would be here in a half hour and I had already done my hair, throwing it in a side ponytail and refreshed my makeup from school. Jacob had insisted in picking me up but I still got to choose where we got to go.

I wish I had picked something where I could wear something cute. Maybe even a skirt, but no. I had to be the one to choose something where we'd be running around.

I sighed and grabbed a pair of dark wash skinny jeans and a tie dye shirt. I threw on a pair of grey flats and looked myself over in the mirror. Satisfied that I didn't look too much like a freak I grabbed my black Northface sweater on and went to wait downstairs.

I still had about twenty minutes and the nerves were crashing into me now. I wrung my hands together and paced around my living room.

What if Jacob hates the date? What if Sam threatened him or something? I wouldn't put him past it, oh god this is going to be terrible. What if he thinks I'm boring?

Ugh. I had to face it, Jacob was beautiful and had almost all the girls drooling after him, whether he noticed it or not.

And what was that imprinting thing? I made a mental note to ask Quil or Emily or someone. I wouldn't ask Jacob and Sam seemed dead against telling me.

I heard the slight roar of Jacob's rabbit pull up into my driveway. I smiled, I loved his car. Yesterday he showed it to me when I dropped him off and I had to struggle with the voice inside my head that told I needed it.

I knew that the date we were going to go on would be a little unfair to play with Jake if I didn't have the strange human wolfy 'powers' I seemed to have. I smirked even more, it'd be interesting.

I heard his knock on the door and walked over and pulled over the door a little too enthusiastically.

He looked at me and flashed a smile, his teeth white against his lips. I smiled back, it was infectious.

"Hey," I said.

"Hey."

Well we've gotten far.

"Can I drive?"

He rolled his eyes at me jokingly. "Can't I drive? You get to drive us to school every day."

"It's my car," I said pouting.

"Well we're taking my car tonight. And stop pouting; it won't help you get your way."

I ignored him pouting even more batting my eyelashes. "Please Jacob? Can I please drive the rabbit?"

He groaned and I had to concentrate on the pout so I didn't smile and ruin it. "Pleeeeeeease?" I begged.

"Ugh. Whatever." He groaned, handing me the keys.

I snatched them before he could change his mind and bounded past him, closing the door behind me. "Thank you." I squealed walking over to the car.

"Yeah yeah," he grinned. "Do I get to ask what we're doing?"

"Laser tag," I smirked.

Little did he know, I was practically a pro at laser tag.

Mr. Jacob Black was going down.

A/N: Laser tag! :) Next chapter will have more of Jaelyn's past and what happened when Jacob left.

Reviews please? Pretty please?
