A/N: There is no excuse for why this is so late. I do not own twilight.

Previously

"Hello Kennedy. Did Jessika kick you out?" I ask in a teasing tone.

"I fucking hate pretending to be her mate. This bond shit sucks and she's abusive. You better take her down soon." She says. I growl loudly.

"She hits you?" Kennedy nods, "That's it, you're done with this mission. I refuse to let you get hurt."

Sky Pov

I stumbled through the woods trying to get back to the rez. The burns on my wrists were already starting to heal. I kept going until I felt like I was far enough away from that bitch to call for Dawn. I stopped and leaned against a tree to rest for a second. I hear a twig snap to my left and look over. Standing there is a snow white wolf with red on the tips of it's ears, tail, and paws.

"You're to large to be a normal wolf. Shift to your human form please. I'm not a threat." I say.

The wolf looks at me for a second then shifts into a beautiful 5'6" girl with flowing black hair with red streaks through it and blue/green eyes. I notice immediately that she has on black leather pants and a purple top. She looks at me and smiles softly.

"I'm Thorn. What's your name kitty?" She asks.

"I'm Skylar. How do you know what I am?"

She simply smirks and points to my wrists. I look down and see they're almost completely healed except for a slight redness in a rope like pattern. I nod.

"Right. Do you think you could help me get back to my family and friends? I'm still rather weak." I ask.

She nods and shifts into her wolf lowering to the ground so I can get on her back. I get on her and hold onto the scruff of her neck as she starts running. I relax a little when I realize she's heading towards the reservation. I took a deep breath and smiled when Angela's scent filled my senses.

"They should be just up ahead on the beach." I tell Thorn.

She nods and slows down to a walk. I pet the her side and look over at everyone. I'm about to shout out to them but something makes me stop. I look around and see Faith talking to mom and Dawn about something. I slowly and quietly get off Thorn's back and walk over to them. The first person to look at us is the wolf shifter Quill. He nods to me then glares at Thorn and starts to growl which attracts the attention of everyone else and they start growling as well.

"Shut it. She's a good guy." I growl out.

Mom gives me a look. I nod and look at Thorn.

"You can shift back." I tell her.

She does as I say and waves awkwardly at everyone and stands close to me. I smile reassuringly and she starts to relax. Angela slowly makes her way over to me and once she's within reach I pull her close and kiss her softly.

"Sorry I ran, but we'll talk later," she nods, "Anyways this is Thorn and she helped me get back after I was released from being kidnapped by Jessika."

I hear mom growl and pull someone closer to her protectively. I look at her confused but brush it aside as Angela gasps. She's looking at my wrists that still haven't healed completely and gives me a questioning look.

"I'm fine. It was gold rope."

She pulls a small vial out of her pocket and opens it then places a few drops on each wrist. I watch as they heal and kiss her cheek.

"Perhaps we should call it a night and go home." Carlisle says.

Everyone nods and gets ready to go. I take Angela home with Thorn following us as the pride leaves.

Alice POV

As we started to leave Scarlette put her arm around my shoulders and pulled me close to her side. I smile and look up at her. She smiles back and kisses my head. I turn my head and kiss her hand that's on my shoulder.

"Will you stay over for tonight Scar?" I ask shyly.

"Of course Ali-cat. Anything for you." she answers.

I smile and kiss her cheek. She blushes and I breathe deeply so I can really identify her scent. Lavender and sage with a hint of the forest that she no doubt loves to run through. I smile in content and we get home not long after. I look at my family and see they are all going to their rooms with their mates.

"Let's go up to my room." I say.

She nods and I lead her up to the attic and open the door.

"Esme decided to add the attic when me and Jasper joined the family. They thought we were mates but we just started laughing when they asked. So the attic was supposed to be for us but Jasper saw Willow and knew she was his mate. It's mine since he moved in with her." I explain.

Scar Pov

I looked around Alice's room and smiled. Three of the walls were painted a forest green. The forth wall was a mural of Tim Burton movies. The ceiling had a skylight above the bed. I'm so tempted to shift and lay on the bed just to surround myself with her scent, but I don't because that would be rude. Instead I sit on her desk chair and look at all the clothing designs she has.

"These are really good Alice." I tell her.

When I look back at her she smiles bashfully and I'm certain that if she could she would be blushing. I grin and place them back on her desk.

"Thanks Scar," she says, "do you need something to sleep in?"

"Actually do you mind if I sleep in my cat form? It's more comfortable."

"Not at all."

I shift into my leopard and climb onto Alice's bed and get comfortable. Alice grabs a sketch pad and pencil then gets in bed and cuddles up to me.

"Sweet dreams Scarlette." she whispers.
