D/C: I do not own, or wish to claim ownership of the characters from Stephenie Meyer's books. I'm just writing this story for fun, my characters and plot are mine, there may be some elements from other Fanfic stories I have read but no direct copying

A/N: This is my first flip side of the story from another character. The main character of the story is Red. He will have more detail and most likely fewer time skips. I do have the next two chapters written just have to go through and edit 4 word corrections and add some details here and there.

If you have questions please leave a comment. The chapters do not have a set release time and my editor friend stop helping me. This is the first chapter without their help so sorry for world mixups.

Chapter 8: Reading The Other

~Edythe~

After Red entered Charlisle's office, the door was shut. I headed for the dress up, makeup room that Alice insisted we have in the house. One half of the room had a large shower, two sinks and floor to ceiling mirror. The other half was full of racks of clothes, boxes of accessories, and all kinds of makeup.

Looking in the mirror over one of the sinks, my face was paler than I like, my eyes were still golden and my hair. It was a mess, all tangled up like I had a make out session with some guy.

Thinking about last night made my chest tighten up and I felt a longing to be in those warm soft arms. This feeling was strange since I'm undead and my heart should not have this tightness and this longing to have him hold me.

I picked up a brush, to start fixing my hair. As I brushed, I thought back to the beginning of the week.

We got all our papers to attend high school in Forks. I decided to hunt on Wednesday, the day before school started. It was late for humans to be out but not the nocturnal.

While looking for something good to drink I found a clearing. The sky was clear over the clearing, I could see the stars through this window in the clouds.

Spinning and laughing from the freedom of being myself, I picked up on a mind that felt human but also not. Stopping my spinning I looked in the direction of the mind.

This mind was quiet compared to others. I sense it was looking at me. It was curious about me, wanting to know why I was so joyful and get closer to me. To join me in my happiness, I also sense its fascination with my beauty.

I was not able to sense lust and desire to make love with me. This can be barred deeper, so I focused on going deeper into this mind.

Something shoved me and I stumbled back. Looking around for my attacker, then I realized the curious mind was gone, I could not sense it. It was a mental shove not physical, whatever it was detected my deeper intrusion and threw me out.

Then I heard my brother talking about a wolf they were going to drink from, and that it was staring at her. I rushed over to them but it was too late, the sound of Emmett leaping for it. Which meant he would be drinking from its warm lifeless body by the time I got there.

I was getting close when Emmets said "What the, where did you go?" in a confused tone. Still confused, he said. "Jasper, did you see what it did?" "Yes, Just as you jumped it also jumped back a good five feet." I heard Jasper say as I came up to them.

I told them about the mental shove and they insisted a little red wolf was watching me and that it has now disappeared. Using my powers I got a look at the red wolf for the first time and it was beautiful even from the minds of my brothers.

Spent all night and into the morning looking for it. Forgetting to hunt for my first day of school. It was strange I wanted or had to see this wolf for myself. My brothers Edward and Jasper could not understand my feeling on the matter nor could I.

The day went ok, except for Jason's reaction to me, the first time he saw my face. Then he told Edward we made out in the hall to English class.

The next morning I was going to get an apology. I got to school early and he was already in the parking lot. Sitting in his gray Silverrodo drinking something. I walked up to his passenger door and pounded on it, leaving small dents in the metal. The door unlocked and I got in and closed the door behind me.

Telling off Jason for what he said to Edward I had to take a breath to speak. The truck did not smell like a human boy was in it. It smelled of forest pine nettles and something sweet. It made my mouth water with venom, I gulped it down

The sweet mouth water smell was not coming from Jason but from the cup, he was drinking. Taking a sniff I lean over the cup in the center counsel.

"What is this?" I asked him, grabbing the cup. He replied it was an energy drink he makes and If I would Like to try it.

Raising the cup I took a sip, it tasted better than it smelled. I clutched the cup so hard it dented in as I could not help gulping down the cold liquid. I Finished the rest of Jason's cup. I was not satisfied, I wanted more.

Jason was watching me gulp down his drink and smiling, he was staring into my eyes with those Dark Violet eyes with a ring of bright almost glowing Violet.

Repositioning my grip on the cup to conceal the place my hands indented the metal body. I Held out the cup with a pout on my face Jason smiled at me.

"I'm sorry, I finished it off." "Would you like some more?" he said, still smiling. There was more of this I could not smell it but if he did have more I wanted it.

I looked down into the empty cup "Yes" I said a little giddy. "Ok, wait here." he said getting out of the truck and digging through a metal chest connected to the inside of the bed. He got back in with two thermal jugs and opened one with the same sweet smell.

I held out the cup and he filled it, then gulped that down then held out the cup form more, before he could put the lid back on the jug. Finishing the first jug quickly I still was not able to tell what the drink was, my mouth still watered.

Jason had opened the second jug and poured himself some into another thermal cup. This one had a different sweet, sour smell to it, I held out the cup again. He did not pour me any, just said I would probably not like this flavor as he took a sip from his cup. I just shook the cup at him, then he poured half the cup full.

Taking the cup to my lips I tipped it back taking a big gulp. "I won't." he said too late, it hit the back of my throat and I gagged. I managed not to spit it out and gulp it down. I asked him why he drank it if it was this bad, he just said he liked the sourness.

I took a small sip and scrunch up my face, then set the cup in the holder. Telling him I did not like it.

I stared out the windshield and took a breath. In the corner of my eye, I could see Jason staring at me. Then he leaned closer to me and his scent hit me. I did not want to drink his blood but I was drawn to it.

This reminded me of the other day I read Jenn's mind when she was holding on to him. He was so warm to her and Jenn was thing how much warmer it would be in his lap with his arm around her.

This upset me for some reason and I let an involuntary growl, then noticed I was using my nails to gouge a groove into the desk. Jenn had got out of her seat and ask if I would like to switch.

Jason looked annoyed about this and that made me angry for some reason. After sitting next to him I could feel the heat radiating out from him and had the urge to lean into his arms so he could hold me.

It is not normal for me to want to be close to a human unless it's due to my thirst but this feeling is different. I tried to tough him by sliding my hands onto his or leaning into his shoulder while we share the book, but he kept moving away.

I felt the urge stronger this time to touch him and have his arm around me. Getting the resolve to lean over, he started discussing getting to class.

While discussing getting to class and I leaned over the console going for his hands. As I leaned in closer he brought up my need for a coat not to catch a cold.

I noticed his coat was open and that the heat in the truck was not on. "I don't want to catch a cold." I told him then under my breath I said quickly, "[ Just you.]"

Quickly I pulled my knees up onto the seat and leaned my upper body over the console. Wrapping my arm around Jason's waist inside his coat, and pressed my nose into his chest. He was so hot, like putting my face on the top of a wood burning stove.

This was way better than the thoughts Jenn had of just wrapping her arm around his shoulder.

Jason gave a shutter and I remembered that if he feels this warm and soft to me I must feel the opposite cold and hard as a marble floor.

I was reluctant about pulling away from the heat when his arms were suddenly around my waist and pulling me over the console, I was almost in his lap.

I was thinking, what next when the driver's door opened and Alice's voice came in "What did you do?" She directed this to Jason and not me.

"Alice, why are you here?" I asked her, hoping she did not have a vision of us making out in the truck. If she did, that would be infuriating I thought.

"I'm saving you from him let her go, Jason." Alice said this in a way that she knew something, but I could not tell what from her thoughts.

Jason released me and then he stepped out of the truck.

After he grabbed onto Alice's left arm leaned into her and said something I could not make out. A feeling rose in my chest, I did not like that Jason had left me and was now holding my sister tightly.

I opened the passenger door, got out then slammed it so hard I creased the door and the extended rear door.

Around the truck, Alice announced she needed to speak with Jason in private. I could not read her mind and neither Edward nor Jasper could. Alice told us to get to class, then it looked like Jason was pulling her across the parking lot.

They stop on the other side of the road next to the tree line, talking in low voices so I could not make out what was said.

I headed into the school thinking about what Jason was doing with Alice. Edward then grabbed my shoulder and spun me around.

"What were you doing in his truck, when you have not fed in weeks?" My thoughts went back to what I was doing just before Alice interrupted. Edward had to hear my thoughts because he gave a disapproving look.

He was staring into my eyes when a shocked expression came to his face, "the circle under your eyes and the irises are no longer black, they have turned yellow."

That is when I released my thirst was gone, and I tasted the sweet drink in the back of my mouth. I ran down the hall and into the girl's restroom, to look in a mirror

My eyes were a honey yellow, a little brighter than normal when I was full. I do not know what was in that drink but I did drink that 4 liter jug.

I had to ask him in class today, exiting the restroom Edward was talking with the others except for Alice, who was not back yet.

"We are all leaving." Edward told me. "What, why would we do that? I need to ask Jason what he gave me to drink." pointing to my eyes.

"That is my point, we need to talk to Carlisle about that. None of us can use our power against Jason. You and I can not read his mind, Jasper can not get a read on his emotion and Alice can not see his future or yours when you are making out with him" Edward said.

"I was not making out with him, Fine let's go talk to Carlisle about this then.'' I said getting a sense of Edward's thoughts on the matter.

Driving home in my car, with Alice in the front passenger seat. Looking over at her I asked, "What did you talk to Jason about?"

"Can't Say." Alice replied and would not say any more, her thoughts were filled with a tune in order to block me.

It was absolutely frustrating when I contracted on using my power and someone like my sister get her mind blocking song stuck in my head and I start humming it.

In the house, Carlisle and Esme just ask questions about what I thought Jason knew about us. If he said anything to imply he suspected what we were and if we needed to move out of Forks.

After three hours of this, I wanted to just go running through the forest. Maybe look for the red wolf, but Alice got all overprotective and would not let me leave the house.

I tried to use my power to find out why but she used her tricks to block me. Eventually, I gave up and went to my room to grab clothes for a shower.

Back in my room, I threw the old clothes onto the floor with some others. I opened a book and read it slowly to pass the time. Into my second book when the doorbell rang.

Then a *Bang* *Crash* sounded from the front door. Then Esme's voice rang throughout the House "Carlisle, a wolf just rang the doorbell, and is standing outside."

I closed my book and rushed to my door, opening it I saw Carlisle rush past me and down the stairs. Getting to the top of the stairs, looking down I saw Carlisle open the front door, but a door frame was twisted so that he had to give it a shove. The door popped out of the house frame and *Banged* loudly onto the porch.

This was strange, Esme should not be afraid of some wolf even if it was standing outside their house and managed to ring the doorbell.

I was just passing the kitchen counter heading for the door when Edward announces that Alice knew the wolf was coming and did not tell us.

Alice in turn told us she was asked not to say anything. It had to be Jason who told her this because of not answering me in the car and hiding her thoughts.

Outside I watched Carlisle step off the porch and spoke to the wolf. "My name is Carlisle Cullen. I do not know who you are. We have not broken the treaty we have with you. Why have you come?" "(Carlisle) Edward I will need you to translate for me."

I stepped off the porch and got my first look at the wolf standing twenty feet from Carlisle and twenty-five feet from the porch. Walking and standing to the left of Carlisle and standing about fifteen feet from the wolf.

The red wolf was absolutely beautiful, It stood as tall as me with its ears up. It had thick muscled legs and shoulders. Its body was longer than my Impala with its tail swishing slowly back and forth. Its fur was long and red with an underline of amber which glittered in the little rays of sunlight coming from the clouds.

I could not explain it but I got the impales to walk up to the wolf and run my hands through its fur. taking a step towards the wolf then I stopped when Edward glared at me and I could hear his thoughts directed at me.

"(Edward) Edythe, what is wrong with you today. You try to make out with a human guy in his truck. Now you want to go up to a Werewolf and pet it like a domesticated dog."

Werewolf I thought looking at the huge wolf in front of me, it looked like a normal wolf with no flanges, long claws, or that sense of danger I felt last time I came across a werewolf.

I was organizing my thoughts for a comeback when I picked up on Emmet's thoughts. Her competitive brother wanted to see if he could take down this much larger wolf than the little one that he's lost.

After Carlisle introduced himself and Edward and I were waiting to hear the Werewolf's response Emmett got ready to leap. I picked up on what the others were thinking if Emmett jumped the Werewolf.

If Emmett hurt or killed the wolf the treaty would be broken or they would have to hide the evidence and deny they knew anything about it.

My mind reeled at the thought of killing the wolf for no reason and I got the feeling I could not let the wolf get hurt.

I clutched my chest and screamed "EMMETT, NO." along with Alice, Esme, Rose, And Edward, but it was too late.

Emmett launched himself from the garage's side door. Using my faster speed I tried to stop him from hurting the wolf but we were all too late.

The wolf let out *Growl*. A shiver when down my back and the thought of my family and myself went straight to danger.

The wolf's mouth which I had not noticed was closed this whole time opened, and large glistening white teeth revealed themselves. I also noticed that the wolf had two pairs of fangs that seemed to grow longer as it growled, on top and bottom of its mouth.

One second the wolf was crouched and the next he lunged at Emmett still in the air. For its size the wolf was beyond fast, it twisted its body in the air.

We watch Emmett get knocked out of the air then the wolf was on him. Emmett thought with triumph to get a challenge, he was surprised the wolf was on him but he did not think he was in danger, this was a mistake.

I felt the pain shoot through Emmet as the 6′ wolf, long claws sank into his forearms then its back claws dug into Emmet's thighs. Blood started pouring from the point the claws were bared. I saw Emmet's mouth open in a silent scream his mind was filled with a burning feeling from the claws.

"NO." Rose cried, she tried to lunge at the wolf but Edward then Alice grabbed her. It gets even worse when the wolf with its mouth open places it around Emmett's throat.

It did not snap its jaw close but held it there, We all got the message that if we moved to help, Emmett would die.

I could not get a read on the wolf, it was like a wall was surrounding its mind. I was pushing harder on the mental wall when Carlisle spoke.

"Rose, everyone stay back. He will kill Emmett if we approach him." Then he looked at the wolf like it was talking to him.

"Emmet, he will let you go if you promise not to attack other supernatural beings unprovoked."

"Why should I make such a promise?" Emmett hissed out trying to get up. I felt his pain from Jasper, Emmett tried to move his arms or legs but he did not dare move his head.

Then I heard a voice coming from the wolf, not one I have ever heard before. The wolf told us about a war that broke out with the Volturi and three other supernatural races. The Dragons, Fae, and Werewolves forced the Volturi kings to sign a decree stopping Vampires from killing other Supernatural beings for knowing that Vampires exist.

I watch the wolf get off Emmett after Carlisle said he has no knowledge of this decree. After stepping off Emmett, the wolf came toward me and stood only a foot from my left arm. Once the wolf was away from Emmett, Rose ran over to him and helped him stand.

"I'm sorry Rose, I just saw a wolf and had to try and catch it. I did not know it was some supernatural creature. Emmett said, gritting his teeth in pain.

"You're an idiot, how do you not figure out that a 6′ wolf could be a Werewolf. That It could have torn you apart." Rose told Emmett, pulling him into a hug.

Rose got Emmett over to the porch where he leaned heavily on her. He also gave Carlisle an apology for almost getting their family in trouble with the Werewolves.

The wolf then told us he is the Wolf Guardian and his name is Red, which would make him like the Grand Alpha of the Werewolf race.

Red explained he was here because a young Quileute wolf going through his first change crosses the La Push border and attacks me.

"They can not do that, the treaty." Carlisle said calmly, while the rest of my family started arguing about how the treaty meant nothing to the new tribe.

I was equally upset to hear I was going to be attacked by a wolf. This is why Alice was keeping me locked in the house at this time.

We discuss how Red would have to hold the whole wolf tribe responsible for attacking me unproved and that he had power over all Werewolfs.

I saw Alice heading for me with Jasper following close behind her like a shadow. "What are you going to do to stop the black wolf from getting my sister?" Alice asked Red standing right in front of him, he then sat down to look at Alice's short stature.

"I'm not a Fairy," she told Red. I could not hear what he said to Alice.

I tried to pick up what Alice was thinking but she had stepped forward and placed her right hand onto the side of Red's face. All I got was her asking if Edward could hear her thoughts when the mental wall surrounded Alice's mind

I glared at Alice as she had a private conversation with Red, if I ran my hand down his side, would I be able to hear him too.

While I was resisting the urge to touch him Alice ran her hand down Red's face and over his fury on his shoulder.

I started to get nervous when Alice looked at me with a mischief grin on her face. That look never ends well when coming from Alice.

"Edythe, you have to touch this fur. It's so nice." Alice gave a pleading look aimed at both of us. Carlisle said something about not offering Red up for petting.

"Red does not mind if you touch him." Alice said with a smile on her face then she removed her hand from Red's fur and stepped back into Jasper's arms.

I gave in and reached out to run my hand into Red's back as he was telling us Emmett would need to drink blood to get his wounds to heal completely.

His fur was so soft and warm, running my hand through it, the amber undercoat shows through more glittering like a gem in the sun.

He leaned into the side of my waist, warmth shot up my body into my cold chest. Red let out a low pleasing growl and his body hummed like a purr.

I looked at my family with shocked expressions on their faces. Still running my hand through his fur down his back.

After some more talking Esme said we were going back into the house. She was thinking it was getting too cold for our guest. Esme asked Jasper to move the door out of the way, once in the house she turned on the heat, we did not need heat or AC. I also did not think Red needs the heat either with his soft warm coat.

I walked inside with Red following me, he had to shift his shoulders to fit through the doorway. My family watched Red following me through the living room as I headed for my room.

My brothers in a testing tone said at the same time "Mom, Dad, there is a wolf in the house." Behind me, I heard Esme and Carlisle say at the same time in a sarcastic tone "We Know."

Alice giggled as I made it to the top of the stairs.

I was about to open my door and let Red go in when I remembered the mess of clothes in my room. I felt embers to let him into my room and see the mess. Opening my door I told Red to wait there for a minute.

Closing the door behind me I rushed around the room picking up cloth and shoving them into my closet. Taking another look around I found panties and bras laying on the love seat, I picked them up and stuffed them in my dresser.

I opened the door and waved Red into my room. When Red was fully in my room and I closed the door, turning, I was shocked.

I did not realize my small room would not be quite sufficient for a 6′ tall 8′ long, wolf with a 2′ tail. His tail ended up swiping the clutter off my shelves when he turned to look at me.

I was thinking of what to do when Red spoke to me "(Red) Would you like me to reduce my overall size to fit this room better?"

"You can do that?" "(Red) Yes, that is how I blend in with the average wolves that live around here. This is my true size and color. "Show me, but keep your beautiful fur color"

I watched awed as Red went from a huge wolf to a slightly larger than average wolf from Forks. Now that he was smaller than my only seat in the room I grabbed a book and sat down, then gestured for Red to lay down next to me.

Red came closer and I saw his claws disappear from his paws. He stepped onto the love seat and lay down with his head in my lap. His head was hot and I could feel his breath on my legs, I ran my left hand over his head and down his back like petting a dog.

I started rereading the book for English class when Red spoke "(Red) Ms. Cullen, I'm in your room with my head on your lap and you have not told me your name. Also, your brother is trying to break into my mind, if he doesn't stop I'll give him a migraine."

"Edward, stop trying to read the wolf's mind." I said towards the door.

"My name is Edythe, what is your name?" I asked this knowing his wolf name but I wanted to know his human name.

"(Red) I'm Grand-Alpha Wolf Guardian, but just call me Red. It's a more modern name. Your brother stopped his snooping, would you like me to block your mind too?"

I was disappointed he would not tell me his real name but I will try to find out later. Think of how warm Red was and Jason they also had similar eyes but Red said he fought in the supernatural war, Jason was too young. Maybe Jason was a young wolf I decided to ask.

"Yes, please block my mind from my nosey brothers. Could you tell if the black wolf that attacks me is Jason Harrison?" but Red told me he would not reveal another supernatural being's identity. I was still suspicious that Jason was a Werewolf or something other than human.

To distract myself and not ask something that causes Red to leave, I told him I was going to read my book and continue running my hand over him.

The book about the Vampire and the Werewolf lovers had the Vampire girl with the sun, garlic, and wooden stake thing. Her skin was tough but not diamond hard and she had color to it, not pail white.

The Werewolf was described to be 7′ tall and have a wolfman shape, with muscle abs and thick arms, His fur was soft and warm, he was burned by pure silver and the full moon made him the wolfman.

The rest of the time he was a normal human without any powers like super strength, healing, or speed.

I was thinking of this Werewolf compared to the one in my lap. Red is a 6′ tall quadruped Werewolf, he is muscular in a wolf way. He can alter his size from 6′ to 3′ tall and does not need a moon to turn into a Werewolf. I do not know about silver or if he loses his powers in human form.

I would ask him about silver later, not going to test it, I do not want to hurt him if it does burn. Think about this and not read my book, I hear Red sigh.

"What is with the sigh, what are you thinking about?"

"(Red) I'm thinking about what I'm going to do about the young wolf that attacks you. I also think about what your family is talking about."

"Why don't we just head down and find out?"

I set my book down on the end table and started to get up expecting Red to move. He did move but not away from me, inside he stepped forward placing his right front leg between my thighs, I froze as he laid his head against my breast, the heat and pressure from his weight were strang.

I felt like electricity was flowing back and forth across my chest. Taking a breath of air to speak, I felt warmth coursing through my lungs. "Red, what are you doing?"

I managed to breathe out my heart felt like it was getting shocked back to life. "(Red) Stopping you from leaving."

He said more but I could not concentrate on all of it with his touching me like this. I am so grateful Jasper can not pick up on my emotion right now or Edward read my mind.

I asked Red something and all I got from the answer was I'm not pushing or moving away from him. Told him I was not afraid he would hurt me and like him leaning his head against my breasts.

I wrapped my arms around his middle and pulled Red tight to my chest. Wish he was like the Werewolf in the book or just in his human form and not a dog. He let out a moan, I was squeezing him pretty tightly it had to hurt, losing my grip.

Red twisted in my arms and his form shifted, he was now a tall wolfman. His human shaped legs were on either side of my own legs as he sat in my lap facing me.

Mixed red and amber fur covered his body and his eyes were Indigo with Dark Violet swirling around them.

His muscular arms wrapped around my waist, I gasped "[ What are you?]" he smiled at me and my heart jumped when he opened his mouth slightly.

"[ I'm not a Werewolf Edythe, I'm what is called a Lycan, we have three forms Lycan, Wolf, Human. Also, Lycans are born Lycans, Lycanthropes are born Human.]"

"Amazing" I said looking into his wonderful swirling eyes, as I did this I ran my hands up to the side of his face "[You can talk in this form?]" I was astonished, the wolf in the book could not talk in his Lycan form, he had to write stuff down to communicate.

Remembering the book my heart did more of its dead jumpy feeling. "[Yes, this form lets me do more than just talk.]" he said this with a smile.

"[Ow, like what?]" I whispered even lower hoping he could not hear my excitement.

The hot electrical feeling went up my side as he slid his hand up my shirt on either side of my waist and around my back to my bra band.

My whole body was jumping from this when suddenly his mouth was on mine, kissing me gently.

I was taking in this new sensation when Red started to pull away, moving my lips I started kissing him back more forcibly. His heart was now pounding so fast and loud I could feel it pressed against my breast.

We were fully engaged in making out with each other. Red ran his hand all over under my shirt and I was running my hand in the fur on his chest.

My body was no longer cold because of his high body temperature.

kissing had not gotten deeper than just touching lips, he would not let me stick my tongue in his mouth and he would not do it to me either, our mouths were slightly open and hot breath felt amazing.

It took me a bit to figure out he was trying to unclip my bra from the back when the clip is between my breasts.

"[Red, it clips in the front.]" I moaned through our kiss as he slid his hand around the front and over the top of my breasts.

I was remembering my mom's interruption when a loud menacing *Growl* sounded throughout the house. Dropping the brush in the sink, I rush for the door.

Red is in a crouched position with his mouth open showing his white fang and growling at my family. Carlisle rushed down the satire and Red's ears rotated following Carlisle's movement. I was about to ask what was going on but Charlise said it first.

"What happened?" he glared at Emmett and Jasper, I glared at them too. Jasper looks back at me and sends me a rundown of what happened. Red seemed to have just tensed up and growled at everyone.

I started moving toward Red, ignoring my family's wired look I reached out "Are you ok?" I said this softly, wanting to hold him but as soon as I touched him he leaped forward crashing through a window.
