Hello hello! Another chapter here for all of you little pretties. I thought I'd better do this before I get too caught up in Ringer and start calling Siobhan many colorful names. I mean seriously, who the hell sleeps with their best friend's husband, gets pregnant, fakes their death, then tries to kill their twin sister after starting a new life in Paris?

megameneko20151: I wish I worked for tips haha. I finished work on Friday and I get paid for my last week tomorrow. It was just for this month, but I made some pretty good money. For serious though, I already wanna work on Love is Magic, I just need to find a good place to take it. I wanna keep writing for Jori, but I have a bunch of inspiration for Bellice and Bechloe and maybe a little bit for Bellamione. So I wanna try writing for those ships. Update as much as possible. Au revior.

Lushcoltrane: I like Cat and Trina as a couple too, for reasons I'm not quite sure about. And thank you. If I'm being completely honest, I got the idea from Twilight, but I expanded the abilities and stayed away from the sparkles. I'm trying to find a good explanation as to why they have no reaction to sunlight...unless I already said something. Did I?

ScottyBgood: I'm trying to get the wolves to be as unique as possible. I just don't know how to do that just yet. Any suggestions?

3rd Person POV

After Trina leaves with Cat, Jade immediately sits on one of the sofas. When you have a beast just under the skin, begging to be set free to claim her mate, anything helps. Tori, on the other hand, has to keep moving to burn off the nervous energy. Hopefully she doesn't burn the house as well.

'Do you want something to drink?' Tori offers, looking for a distraction and an excuse to move.

'Some water would be nice.'

Looking at Tori's form walk into the kitchen, hips swaying, Jade has to bite her lip to keep in control. Her control slips a little bit when Tori bends down to get a bottle of water from the bottom shelf of the fridge. Tori says as much when she gets back to the couch.

'Jade?'

'Hmmm?'

'Any particular reason your eyes are luminous?'

Taking the bottle from Tori, Jade takes a long drink, her eyes dimming back down. 'They get like that when I'm feeling an extreme emotion. For example, if I were to feel extremely angry...or turned on...'

Tori sees Jade peak at her then put her head down. If oxygen were a necessity, it would physically hurt for Tori to breathe. She didn't wanna read too much into this, but come on. Jade practically admitted to wanting Tori and she was even embarrassed about it. All Tori could do was stare at the wolf in front of her.

After she said that, a weight was lifted off of Jade's shoulders. Only to be replaced with one twice as large and a million times heavier. Tori has the power to crush her heart if she wants and the thought of rejection was weighing heavily on Jade. Wolves mate for life, so she has to be extremely cautious as to who she gives her heart to. She just hopes she's making the right choice by giving it to Tori.

'God, how am I gonna tell Trina I broke her sister?' Jade wonders out loud, trying to lighten the mood then taking a sip of her water.

Tori snaps out of it and a shy smile plays on her lips. She looks to the side. 'I don't wanna assume anything but...' She looks up into Jade's eyes. 'Does that mean you like me?'

Nodding, Jade tries to hide the blush threatening to appear on her face. She lets out a yelp of surprise that turns into a whimper when Tori kisses her.

'Good. Cause I like you too.'

Trina POV

'Mocha for you...and Caramel for you.' I hand Tori and Jade each their ice cream and sit next to Tori while Jade moves to sit next to Cat.

Tori smiles at me and, to my surprise, so does Jade. 'Did Cat have to make you buy us ice cream?' Jade asks, looking at me while taking a taste of hers.

Cat shakes her head. 'She ordered you two something the second I finished my order. She beat me to it.'

'Trina's not all that heartless. She thinks of others about as much as I do. She just acts the part in public.' Tori says, smiling at me.

'Why? Isn't it difficult to act ALL the time?' Jade asks.

'Living multiple lifetimes as the same person gets boring after the first century. Gotta do something to keep the boredom at bay.' I shrug, eating a bite of ice cream. 'But I have a question for you, Jade.'

'Shoot.'

Tori holds out a spoonful of her ice cream out for me. 'That whole "mating for life" thing wolves do. What happens to the wolf when their mate dies?' I ask before closing my mouth over the spoon and doing the same for Tori.

'Why do you ask?' Jade asks, looking at me and my sister. I could see Cat's curious looks as well.

'I remember something fuzzy from my human life, but it's too vague for me to make out anything concrete...' Tori slips the spoon out of her mouth and puts a comforting arm around me. Our human lives are touchy subjects.

'Wolves are extremely protective of their mates and love them with their entire beings. When a wolf's mate dies from natural causes, some wolves fall into a depression and lose their will to go on. If a wolf's mate is killed, whether in cold blood or self-defense, some wolves will stop at nothing until their mate is avenged.'

I tense up after she finishes. I feel like there's something I'm missing...something I should know about this topic...I just can't place my finger on it. Every time I reach for it, it moves away like it's avoiding me.

I'm snapped out of my thoughts by a hand squeezing my shoulder. I look up to see a very concerned Tori looking back at me. 'You okay, sweetheart?'

I put on a smile and nod. 'Yeah, just got lost in thought for a bit.'

Tori POV

I'm getting kinda worried about Trina. She seems a little out of it, ever since she asked Jade about wolf mates. I'll have to ask her about it when Jade and Cat leave.

The rest of the night goes on with us talking and learning things neither side knew. For example, Trina and I learned Andre's a siren, Beck's a shape shifter, Robbie's an elf/fairy hybrid, and I guess Trina already knew Cat's a succubus. I was a little worried when I found that out, but Trina put the feeling to rest the moment she felt it. Don't want a repeat of Italy, right?

We gave them as good as we got until around 1 in the morning. Neither girl was fit to drive, so we lead them to Jade's car and I put them in the back seat while Trina locked up the house.

'Do you know where Jade lives?' Trina asks when we get in.

'Yeah, I've been there a couple of times for school. No one was ever home, but I know she lives with her mom and has two younger sisters and a younger brother. Oh, turn right up here.'

'I don't know whether to be curious about why you've never met her family or worried that you know that much without meeting them.' Trina laughs and a few minutes later, we're parked in Jade's driveway.

Cat and Jade are out cold in the back seat; Cat's head on Jade's shoulder and Jade's resting against Cat's. It's too cute not to take a picture, so I do so before we take them out of the car. I pick Jade up bridal style and Trina does the same with Cat. Judging from the light coming from the living room, someone's awake. Not wanting to wake anyone else up, I knock softly. Whoever's awake will hear it, right?

We stand there for a few moments until the door opens to reveal a woman in her late-thirties, early-forties with long, caramel colored hair and kind, motherly mint green eyes. She must be Jade's mother.

'We're terribly sorry for bothering you this late, Mrs. West. Cat and Jade came over after school and we lost track of time. But don't worry, our parents made sure they ate dinner.' I say with a smile.

'Thank you, girls. Come in, I'll show you to Jade's room. And please, call me Amanda. I haven't been Mrs. West in nearly 10 years.' Amanda says with a kind smile, leading us up the stairs to Jade's room.

We lay them down after Amanda pulls the covers. Before we all leave the room, we hear Jade mumble "Tori" and Cat mumble "Trina".

Amanda leads us into the living room, which you have to pass through to get to the door. 'Before you two leave, could I speak with you for a moment?'

Trina and I nod and sit on the couch next to Amanda.

'So...how long have you two been vampires?'

Where do you think Amanda is taking this? And more importantly, what happened to Mr. West? Wolves mate for life, so was he killed/did he die? Or was Amanda ever even his mate? Also, the girls have to get home for their six month check in with Holly and David, remember? So many questions...Anyways, Hasta luego mi pastelitos. Good damn bye!
