Chapter 1

The Meeting

"I'm not necessarily saying that I want him as my dominate, I'm just saying that if he wanted to pound me, I wouldn't complain."

I rolled my eyes as I walked beside my two best friends, Embry and Quil. We were currently making our way across the beach that was our home and the place where the next Meeting of Truces was going to be held tonight. I was so excited, because it was going to be my first one since I changed.

"Quil," Embry sighed beside me. "You're like the biggest slut out of the entire werewolf nation in the world! You're never gonna find the right dominate for you."

I couldn't hold back the chuckle at the appalled look that crossed Quil's face. He shot me a scathing glower, his lip curled up in slight disgust.

"What are you laughing at Mr. I'm-Too-Good-For-Anyone-For-Them-To-Be-My-Dominate. You're no better than me."

I huffed indignantly. "What the hell are you talking about, Quil?" I asked even though I already knew what he was hinting at. The entire pack knew. It was no secret.

"Yeah," Embry smirked as he turned his attention to me, his brown eyes sparkling in mischief. "What's up with that, Jake?"

I rolled my eyes and ignored both of them. I didn't need their antagonism.

"Jake," Quil said, serious for once in his life. "You have a potential dominate chasing after you ever since you turned a few months ago. And might I stress that this isn't just your average dominate. This is an Alpha we're talking about here. That's every submissives' dream. And you're throwing it all away!"

"Yeah, Jake. Why don't you want to be Sam's submissive?" Embry concluded.

I groaned loudly as I stopped right where I was, unable to continue forward. This has been a continuous topic of conversation ever since I turned wolf and Sam trained his dark eyes on me. And frankly, I was tired of it.

"Do you even hear yourselves?" I asked Embry as I looked both of them in the eyes. "Are you even listening to the words that are coming out of your mouths? I don't want to be anyone's submissive."

"Why not?" Quil growled, exasperated. "That's every submissives' dream—"

"Because I don't want to be a submissive!" I snarled. "I don't want any of this werewolf shit!"

"Well, newsflash for you, Jacob," Embry butted in. "You are a submissive and you are a werewolf. And sooner or later, you are going to get a dominate. That's just how things work around here whether you like it or not."

I smirked impishly at him. "Not if I don't agree to accept Sam as my complete dominate and mate. I could live my entire life without one. As long as I don't accept, I'll still be my own person."

Embry and Quil shook their heads, frustration clouding their eyes.

"Jacob…" Embry began before stopping himself with a heavy sigh. Shaking his head, he reached for Quil's hand before leading him away from me and up the beach. "C'mon, Quil. There's no use to talking about this anymore. Let's just get ready for the Meeting tonight."

I watched them leave in silence. Only when I couldn't see them anymore did I move to the giant driftwood tree next to the ocean. With a heavy sigh, I plopped down a low hanging limb. Bringing my knees to my chest, I looked out to the ocean, my mind swirling with so many things.

One thing that Embry and Quil didn't know was that I really did crave to have a dominate. I couldn't shake the feelings and I fucking hated it. I glanced down the beach where the remainder of the pack was setting up for the Meeting of Truces tonight. I watched as they set up the many tables that each pack would sit at. My eyes zoned in on the long table that held enough food to feed ten armies. And like always, my eyes zoned in on the tall and intimidating form of Sam Uley. My Alpha.

My potential mate.

He was currently handing out orders, trying to set up everything in time for the Meeting. Even from this distance, I could feel his power in the air, his stance sure and strong. He was one hell of an Alpha and one hell of a good looking man. He stood at a proud six foot four and he was pure muscle. His dark hair was cropped short, but it was long enough to run my fingers through and pull on if I so wished. He had a beautiful body and piercing black eyes that I swore saw right through my soul. I shivered as I watched him, wanting so bad to be wrapped up in those strong arms and to never be let go.

Almost as if he knew he was being watched, Sam's head snapped up in my direction. I quickly averted my eyes to the see, praying to whatever gods that would listen that he didn't catch me staring at him with apparent arousal. I swore under my breath as I heard light footfalls coming in my direction and I knew that my prayers went unanswered. Familiar arms wrapped themselves around my waist, fingertips tickling the bare skin of my stomach.

It took a long time for me to allow Sam to touch me in such an intimate way. After months of continuous chasing and soft-spoken words, I granted mercy on Sam and allowed him this privilege. But I never let it progress further, comfortable with this kind of relationship—if that's what you could call it—with Sam. But I could feel my defenses slowly slipping away with each caress of his fingers and I only knew that it was a matter of time before I let myself be taken by him completely. I just hoped I could hold out long enough before I finally cracked. Sam knew this too, and he was milking it as much as he could, knowing my surrender would be the sweetest thing on earth.

"Hey, Jacob," Sam's hot breath breathed against the nape of my neck. "What are you doing out here all by yourself?"

It was so easy to get lost in his deep voice, the timbre sending chills all throughout my body. I could listen to it for hours on end. And it pissed me off.

"I was walking with Quil and Embry, but they decided to ditch me and get ready for the Meeting."

"Mmm," Sam hummed as he nuzzled against the side of my throat, inhaling my scent as his arms tightened around me. "You know, it can be very dangerous for you to be sitting out here all by your lonesome."

"And why is that?" I questioned as I reluctantly leaned into him, giving into his touch.

"Because anyone could just snatch you up and claim you on the spot," he answered as he gave a small kiss to the flesh just below my left ear. "You're too beautiful for your own damn good."

I scoffed and rolled my eyes, not believing a word he said. "As if I would let them," I answered. "And besides, no one would dare tread on your territory."

It was true. Everyone knew about Sam's current obsession to gain me as an eternal mate. And not a single soul would even consider the idea of snatching what Sam wanted. No one could ever compete against an Alpha. Except another Alpha, of course.

We were silent for a while, each of us looking out into the roiling waves before us, the ocean water lulling me into ease, even with Sam so close to me. My eyes shut on their own as I rested my head against Sam's shoulder, a sense of calm and ease shrouding me like a giant blanket.

My brows furrowed and a smile whine escaped me, tough, as soon as I felt Sam nipping and licking a line from my jaw to my mouth.

"Sam," I warned as his hands skimmed over my stomach, his nails lightly digging into the skin.

"What is it?" Sam whispered as he continued to nip at the corners of my mouth.

I leaned away from him, turning away from his searching touches before another fire could ignite in the pit of my stomach. I didn't need this at the moment.

"Let me go," I commanded as I struggled out of his embrace.

A moment of silence passed before Sam finally conceded with my wishes, reluctant or otherwise. As soon as I was free from him, I got to my feet, unable to look him in the eyes. Neither of us spoke.

Finally, I glanced at him out of the corner of my eye over my shoulder, unable to take the silence any longer.

"I thought I told you to never do that," I growled through gritted teeth.

Sam pursed his lips as his eyes gazed into my own. I could see all kinds of emotions in their dark depths, each one of them flickering out like a candle before a calm mask replaced everything else,

"Jake, just hear me out—" he began before I cut him off.

"No, Sam. You hear me out. I don't want any part of this whole mating ritual thing or whatever it is. I just want to live my life without having someone breathing down my neck every second of the day just to get into my pants."

Anger flashed across his face before he replaced it with the calm mask again. In a tight voice, Sam said, "Who all's been breathing down your neck?" I couldn't help but notice his hands curl into tight fists.

I stared at him, my own face set emotionlessly. "This is what I'm talking about, Sam. I don't need you to protect me from everything. I'm not yours to protect. I never will be. So stop even trying."

I made to leave him with my words hanging in the air, but before I could take two steps, his hand shot out, and curling around my arm, forcing me to stay. I kept my gaze away from him, unable to face him.

"Jacob," his deep voice rumbled. Another shiver slid up my spine. "You know it's not gonna be long before your natural instincts take control. I know that your carefully constructed walls are crumbling even as we speak. With each and every second I'm near you, they're slipping and pretty soon, there's gonna be nothing left. And when that day arrives, I'll be waiting with my arms wide open to receive you."

I shook my head, not wanting to listen to this. "How can you be so sure?" I asked, skeptical.

"Because I know you need me just as much as I need you."

I glanced tentatively up to see him just mere inches away from me. I took in a sharp breath, unable to think of anything except him. My eyes fluttered as Sam rubbed my cheek with the pad of his thumb, his lips hovering over mine and I knew right then and there that he was right. My walls were cracking, crumbling. But, damn it! I didn't want them to!

"Just give me a chance, Jake," Sam pleaded as his face got closer and closer, his lips barely brushing mine and I couldn't help the small whimper that escaped me. "Please…"

"I—" I muttered as my eyes started to close on their own accord and I could've just melted right there and then in his arms, knowing with my heart that Sam would be my protector against everything. I just wanted my own independence. Was that too much to ask for?

Before out lips could seal the deal, Quil's loud voice reached across the beach to me, snapping me back into reality.

"Jake! Let's go! We need to get ready for the Meeting! And I will be damned if I let you meet the other packs dressed like that!"

I jumped back from Sam's hold like he was burning me. I ran a hand over my face as Quil grasped my arm, trying to get my thoughts back into the right place.

"Sorry, Sam," Quil apologized with a wide grin. "I just have to steal Jacob away for an hour or two so that he can get properly dressed. As soon as I'm finished with him, though, I'll return him back to you, no problem."

I huffed as Quil shoved me forward and away from our Alpha. I forced myself to remain looking forward, not wanting to see Sam's dark eyes on me as we retreated. When I knew we were out of hearing distance from the pack, I turned to Quil, who still had a huge grin on his face.

"What was with the rush back there?" I asked after a few minutes of silence.

"I thought you could get a little help getting away from Sam's sexy grasp." He wriggled his eyebrows suggestively as he ran his tongue over his teeth. "And you really do need to change into something more suitable before the other packs arrive," he sniffed as he glanced me up and down with a sneer.

I rolled my eyes and ignored his disapproving glances. "I thought you wanted me to be Sam's mate? And you were saving me from him?" I asked, incredulous.

"Don't get me wrong," Quil clarified. "I think your head is full of stupid if you want to escape an Alpha's advances, but I also think that you don't really know what you want. I don't want you to make any major choices when you're not ready."

I smiled, unable to hold it in. I pulled Quil in for a sideways hug, unable to believe how great of a friend he truly was.

"Thank you so much, Quil," I whispered as I gave him a light peck on the cheek.

Quil smiled as he returned the hug and the kiss. "Anything I can do for you, sweetie," he said in an overdramatic coo. I couldn't help but laugh. "Now, let's go find you something sexy for Sam to ogle at all night!"

~/\~/\~

It was true that the Meeting of Truces was held once every year for packs all around the area to convene and share the news of what's what. But it was also somewhat of an unspoken rule for the Meeting to be held for potential mates to meet with one another. All the untaken submissives wore skimpy and revealing outfits, showcasing all they had to offer. It also didn't help that the stage was used for karaoke and dance-off battles.

By the time Embry, Quil, and I arrived, the sun was already setting, casting vivid oranges and reds over the sky, and with the wispy clouds that were out tonight, it looked absolutely amazing. Especially with the ocean casting the scene like a reflecting mirror. Tiki torches lit the large perimeter, sending flickering light all over the place. The scent of all kinds of packs assaulted my nose, mingling in with the familiar scent of my own.

Oceans.

Mountains.

Plains.

All sorts of packs were here from all over the place. It was amazing. I've never seen such a large congregation of wolves before.

"What are we waiting for?" Quil asked as he led us deeper into the Meeting, passing various wolves on the way. Some with submissives clinging to their sides while others hug around their own pack brothers.

I glanced at Quil's outfit for the millionth time, still unable to believe that Quil was completely comfortable with what he had on. Quil always went overboard with everything, no matter what. So I had no idea why I was surprised at Quil's short as hell shimmering skirt, along with his tube top in a matching black and purple color scheme. The shimmering material caught the light from the torches, sending sparkles all over the place. Three inch stiletto boots completed his look.

Embry and I were more conservative in our choices. We each had on tight black pants that hugged our hips and ass and flared out at the knees, but I had thin silver chains wrapped all around the hem, swinging lightly as I moved. We also had on a matching set halter tops, the only difference was that Embry's was a dark blue while mine was a deep ruby red, showing off our flat stomachs and my pierced naval. Embry had on think heeled boots while I preferred to go barefoot. And while both Quil and Embry let the hair free for the night, I preferred mine in a complicated ponytail.

"Ooh," Quil hummed in delight as he let go of our wrists. "Mr. Sweet Lips, ten 'o clock." With a wink in our direction he left, weaving his way towards a guy the reeked of wet dirt and lavender.

Embry and I looked at each other before shaking our heads as we veered towards the table that held all the food.

"I swear," Embry muttered under his breath as we each reached for a plate. "That boy can go in over his head without even thinking about it."

I glanced out the corner of my eye to find Quil leaning in to whisper something into the ear of the guy he ventured off to, a sly smirk on place as he gave a chaste and lingering kiss to his cheek. I rolled my eyes as I turned back to Embry.

"Even so, I think he knows exactly what he's doing," I smiled.

Embry's only response was a huff as he continued to pile on finger sandwiches to his plate.

I jumped as I felt a pair of warm and rough hands glide over my hips to rest over my midsection, pulling me back into a strong chest. I knew who it was even before the shiver raced through my body. I bit my lip as I felt a soft pair of lips kiss my cheek before traveling back to my ear, his hot breath causing another shudder.

"You look good," Sam whispered softly, the rumble of his voice vibrating from his chest to my back. "I'm gonna have a hard time fending off anyone that gets a little too close to you."

I glanced at Embry, begging with my eyes for the help that Quil lent out earlier. To my utter amazement, I found him further along the table than before, his gaze purposefully staying on the food before him and away from Sam and me.

Oh, you son of a bitch.

I set my food down and turned in his embrace, my hands lightly resting against his broad chest.

"Yeah," I smirked. "It's especially gonna be hard when I'm up on the stage dancing and singing in front of all these sexy wolves." I giggled when Sam let out a deep and warning growl.

"They better keep their hands to themselves," he warned before his hard features softened into a wide smile. With one last peck on the cheek, he released me. "I'll be saving a seat at my table for you." And with that, Sam was off, mingling with the other Alphas, sharing the news of the year.

I pulled in a deep breath before letting it out slowly, trying to calm my racing heart. As soon as I was mellowed out, I snapped my attention in Embry's direction, a glare on my face. He was where I found him earlier, seemingly oblivious to what just happened, but the knowing smirk on his face told me otherwise. With my eyes narrowed, I marched over to him, fully intent on beating that smirk off his face.

I was so focused on my task that I was completely unaware of someone standing in my way before I literally ran into him. I bounced off the hard wall of muscle and flesh, and before I knew it, I was tumbling down to the ground. As soon as I was about to land on my ass, an arm shot out to grab me, circling around me waist and keeping me from falling any further.

"Whoa, there," a deep voice said as the arm pulled me upright to my feet, the hand resting firmly against my hips, which was soon accompanied by its twin. "You alright?"

I brought a hand to my head and turned around to thank my rescuer. "Yeah, I think so—" I stopped dead in my tracks as soon as I saw him. I swore my heart just about jumped out of my chest at the glorious sight before me.

He had the most gorgeous eyes I had ever seen. A deep ocean grey. A shade that could only be seen after a long storm at see. That in itself was peculiar since brown eyes were more common amongst our people. Gorgeous eyes led to a beautiful face, filled with sharp and strong angles in just the right places. My eyes traveled down lower to find him completely shirtless, showcasing an amazing physique that could only be rivaled by Sam's. His legs were currently encased in low-hanging dark faded jeans with a black belt looped around his waist, showing his deep hip indents and the waistband of grey boxers. And like me, he was barefoot. My mind was scrambled as I took in his scent.

A mixture of pine trees and fresh open air.

It was fucking heaven.

It was then that I realized I had been standing there like a complete idiot with my mouth gaping open like a fish in silence. I shook my head and cleared my throat, trying to bring my thoughts back together.

"Um, yeah. I'm fine. Thank you," I mumbled.

Fucking idiot.

My knees buckled when I heard his deep chuckle. It felt like melted chocolate sliding over my skin, raising goosebumps in its wake.

"You got a name, baby boy?" My rescuer asked in a hypnotizing voice. It was another minute before I could answer properly.

"Jacob," I whispered, unable to raise my voice. "Jacob Black. My friends call me Jake, though," I rambled on.

Fucking. Idiot!

"Jacob, huh?" the man asked as he leaned in closer, his lips inches from mine. I couldn't look away from his eyes as he stared into me—through me—unblinkingly. "I think I could get used to that."

And like a complete girl, I sighed dreamily.

"Jake! There you are! I have been looking all over for you!"

I jumped in the mysterious guy's arms as Quil gripped my shoulders, effectively pulling me out of his grip. Embry was right beside him, a small smile on his face as he too took my arms and led me away from him.

"Thank you so much for finding him for us, Quil said quickly with a flirtatious lilt to his voice. A spike of jealousy hit my system at the sound.

"Yeah, thanks, Embry said. "He just runs off like no one's business."

Before I could realize what was happening, my best friends rushed me away from my rescuer faster than I've seen anyone move before. They each literally carried me away as I tried to squirm my way out of their hold, but it was futile. They wouldn't release me.

As soon as I was far away from Grey Eyes, they threw me forward and I had to catch myself before I fell on my ass for a second time.

"What the hell, guys!" I yelled as I whirled on them, fury and ill intent in my eyes as I glared at them. They both had their arms crossed over their chests like they were expecting this and waiting for me to cool off. "I'm not the one ditched you two. You guys are the ones that ditched me! So don't even pull that kind of bullshit with me."

"Do you even know who that was, Jacob?" Quil asked, ignoring my yelling, which infuriated me even further.

"What the hell does it matter?" I growled through gritted teeth. "You both seem so keen on me having a mate, why in the hell would you ruin the chance of that happening?"

Quil and Embry glanced at one another quickly, worry crossing their features.

"Jake," Embry mumbled before turning his full attention to me. "That's Paul Lahote, Alpha of the Lohote Mountain Pack."

My anger fell quickly, replaced by confusion. "What?" I asked softly as I glanced at each of them in turn.

"Paul Lahote," Quil repeated softly, slowly. Alpha of the Loahote Pack and sworn enemy of Sam Uley."

Okay, like I've said in the beginning of the chapter, there will be NO FEMALES in this story. NONE!

Also, I'm trying to decide if I should do chapter 2 in Jake's POV or in Paul's I don't know. We'll see XD

Apocalypse is next to be updated! I PROMISE! Thank you and review!
