Quick note of housekeeping:

Lee is a Transman and a wolf and Bella is human here.

I am done being nice about commissions. You will be blocked if you're not respecting my request not to ask about them, and I no longer wish to keep deleting pms about it. If it continues I will turn off my PMs

Thank you again, I dont own twilight, enjoy!

A loud knocking woke Lee the next morning, his body waking with a start before his mind caught up. Bella groaned and tucked herself into him more and he almost went back to sleep before it sounded again.

Bam, bam, bam!

Someone was knocking. Lee sighed deeply, wishing he could just keep holding his mate but he untangled himself from her. The wolf tucked her back in, as she instantly shivered at the loss of his heat, and threw on some shorts before creeping down the stairs. Peeking through the peephole, he rolled his eyes and opened the door for Sam.

"What's up, boss?" Lee yawned, stepping out onto the porch. "Bella's still asleep, try to keep it down.

"Well, nothing good, per say. Jake thinks he caught a new vampire's scent. I would like you to help him track that, but first I need your help with something else." Lee nodded for him to continue. "Brady Fuller phased." Lee's head snapped into focus. That was his cousin, he was way too fucking young.

"He's 13."

"He phased. And the worst part is, he took off. Poor kid's terrified, but we can't find him. He was like a fucking bullet, we lost his scent before we could find him again. He hasn't phased back, but none of us recognize the area he's in, and you know the mountains better than the rest of us."

"I'm on it. If they're starting to phase that young, there's more than just the one extra vampire. I'll go talk to the Cullens once I find him." Sam agreed.

"You're going alone?"

"Nah, I'm taking Bella." Lee grinned and waved, heading back inside to get his Mate. He smiled when he saw her, curled up but awake now based on her heartbeat, though she refused to open her eyes. "Bella, my love, would you like to go on an adventure?" She grinned, his voice much lower and more gravelly than normal. There was something to this "morning voice" thing.

"Yes, of course." she opened her eyes and his jaw dropped. Her normal golden-brown eyes had taken on a more amber color. Not like the vampires, there was still an abundance of warmth to the color that the vampire's lacked, but it was a notable difference. "What, what's wrong?"

"Your eyes changed…" He tilted his head and cupped her cheek. "I… didn't know that could happen with Imprints."

Bella's eyes searched his, seeing his were a little more amber, similar to when he phased. "Is that a bad thing?"

"No," her wolf answered immediately. "I may ask around though. Do you feel different?"

Bella furrowed her brow and thought about it. "I mean. I feel stronger? But that could be just. Placebo or something? I don't know. But what was the adventure?"

Lee shook his head. "Get dressed, grab a jacket. One of the younger boys, my cousin Brady, phased last night and the pack can't find him." He turned and grabbed a backpack, putting a spare pair of shorts in it as well as a pair of pre-transition shorts for brady. He was downright scrawny yesterday, the phase wouldn't do that much for him yet so that should do. Bella threw on jeans, boots, a tank top and plaid shirt, and topped it with Lee's jean jacket. He grinned at her and tossed her the pack, stripping his shirts off by the back door on his way out and phasing as he stepped out. Bella smiled, still impressed with the way he almost seemed to step into the other form, rather than explode into it like the other wolves did.

Lee instantly locked in on Brady's frantic thoughts, seeing through his eyes. He had made it up to the peak of the mountain range, several miles off the reservation, and surrounded himself with a pack of wild wolves. He was whimpering, laying down and crying softly.

Brady.

His eyeline lifted as he lifted his head, looking around. Lee?

I'm on my way with Bella, buddy. Stay put, we'll walk you through this.

My… my clothes ripped…

I'm bringing you some pants, just stay calm, and keep talking to me. Look, focus on me so you can see what I can. Lee watched Bella walk up to him, giving him a gentle scratch on his snout before he laid down and helped her onto his back.

Is she a wolf, too? Like you… us… like us?

No, she's my Imprint. I'll explain everything, don't worry. I know this is a lot, I get it. It shouldn't have happened to you this young, kiddo. He waited until Bella was secure and took off, so familiar with the forest floor at this point that his paws made nearly no sound, shockingly quiet as he ghosted through the trees toward the pup in the mountains.

Do we all get that quiet? I was so loud when I was running.

It takes practice. I spend a lot of time in wolf form, so I'm very used to this body. If you'd like, we can pair you with me during patrols starting out, and I can give you some pointers. Brady made a sound of agreement, calming down as he was able to see how quickly Lee was on the way. Why did you run from the others before? Just freaking out about what happened?

Well, I was arguing with mom about something… I don't even remember now it was so stupid, and suddenly I'm shaking like hell. Dad picked me up, and literally threw me outside, and when I land I'm on paws all of a sudden, and all these voices were yelling. But they're yelling in my head! I didn't know what to do, I just panicked and took off.

Lee heaved a sigh and shook his head, Bella laughing as she imagined what was happening in the "group chat" as she called it. We've talked about that. I'm sorry about them, they don't understand that if it didn't work for them, it probably doesn't fucking work.

They kept in contact, and Brady was actually sitting up and wagging his tail by the time the couple arrived. The smaller wolves around them growled at first, but after some cautionary sniffing and inspections, they let them be and laid back down. Brady's fur was unique, a mix of blondes, browns, blacks and reds, a "mask" of black was over his eyes and muzzle.

"Oh, he's so pretty," Bella breathed, smiling at him and blushing when she realized it had been out loud. "Sorry, bud, I know that's not what you want to hear right now."

Brady tilted his head and wagged his tail a little, panting. He loved Bella, she was always kind to him and never treated him like a kid in the sense that he couldn't do anything. Hi, Bella!

Yep, that's why I brought her. Okay, kiddo, Bella's gonna step behind me so she doesn't see anything, and I'm going to walk you through phasing. Lee nudged Bella with his nose, laying on his belly so she could slip off and sit behind his body, facing away. Brady listened intently as Lee walked him through phasing, and since he had already calmed down it only took about 15 minutes of explaining, helped along with Lee showing him how he remembered him looking. Lee nosed Bella, and she tossed a pair of shorts over to him as Lee shook his head. He was able to fit into the old shorts, but his puny little cousin looked like he gained 10 years on age overnight. Poor Brady had gained over six inches in height, his body filling in with about 30 extra pounds of muscle. He was still lean, but he didn't look 13.

Lee motioned for him to turn around and phased back himself, throwing on his shorts. "How do you feel, cousin?"

"Like I've been run over by a truck," His voice cracked and squeaked, and Lee gave him a sympathetic look. "What was that?" He whispered this time, hoping to avoid whatever that was.

"Welcome to the club, kiddo. You hadn't hit puberty before you shifted like we normally do, so this kick started it." He blushed and flicked his eyes to Bella. They had been the same height before, but now he towered over her. She smiled at him, refusing to laugh. There would be plenty of time to tease him later, he was going through a lot.

"Please explain more…"

Lee sat down with him, as his body was already too exhausted to keep standing as Bella took her spot in her wolf's lap. The older wolf then proceeded to give his cousin a crash course in Being a Wolf 101. He told him about the lack of aging after this, unless you chose otherwise, about the emotional control they need to maintain, the heightened senses, the strength, everything. Once he saw him wrap his head around that, he explained the basics of Imprinting.

"They're the only people who can truly know what's going on. Well… They used to say that but that's not… entirely true. The council knows what's happening with us, and the Cullens help us with our healthcare and therapy if we ask for it."

Brady blinked at him, tilting his head. "The… Cullens?" Lee watched the wheels in his head turn as it clicked. "The stories… are they actually vampires?"

Lee scratched his neck, his stubble starting to get more aggressive. "I mean… that's what they call themselves, similar to how we call ourselves werewolves but… I mean we aren't." Bella and Brady both looked confused. "Werewolves in a traditional sense are controlled by the moon, you need the full moon to shift, or fully shift, and can only partially shift under the moon's light. We don't have partial transformations as far as I can tell, and we change at will." Brady slowly nodded, following his line of thinking. "The Cullens are Faeries. They live in the middle of the woods, sparkle in the sunlight, have random abilities that randomly don't work on each other or some humans, and in some folklore Sidhe and others are depicted as drinking blood. They don't eat, have no aversion to religious items or holy ground, their skin is rock hard so stakes wont work… they're not vampires." Lee shrugged, chuckling. "But don't tell the pack, or the Cullens that. They wouldn't like that." Bella laughed and nodded.

After a little longer of resting, Lee stood and set Bella on her feet. "Brady, would you like to shift back and run with me or do you want a ride back home?" Brady bit his lip and shook his head, wincing as he stood.

"I'd prefer a ride home. It… I'm in a lot of pain. It feels like my body is on fire." Lee frowned and realized he was sweating and shaking… no, he was shivering.

That shouldn't be possible.

"Bella, baby, call Carlisle for me," Lee frowned, stumbling in shock as his cousin collapsed into his arms. "Whoa! Baby, hurry!" Lee scooped his unconscious cousin into his arms, hearing Bella say enough to have Carlisle running toward them in an instant. Rosalie showed up with him, offering to carry the younger boy so Lee could shift and carry Bella.

"What happened?" Carlisle asked, examining the boy as they ran. Lee had to be impressed with his skill on the matter.

"He shifted back, we explained some things to him. He mentioned he was hurting when he shifted back but by the time he stood up he said he was much worse, and he was sweating. He collapsed almost immediately after." Bella held on to her wolf for dear life, trying to focus on holding on as they tore through the forest toward Brady's house.

"His body sounds… odd." Rosalie spoke up, frowning.

"It does. Like his body is rapidly growing, almost visibly." Carlisle's voice was horrified, and overly worried. They broke the treeline and were met with Sam, Jared, and Brady's mother. Lee shifted back and changed into his clothes rapidly, taking his cousin from Rosalie and carrying him inside to his room. Rose and Bella explained as Carlisle kept checking on him. The boy's breathing was rapid, sweat covering every part of his body as he grit his teeth.

"Was he prepubescent before he shifted?" The doc glanced at Lee before turning back.

"Yes. He's thirteen."

"What caused him to shift so young? We have not added any members?"

"It had to be vampire activity." He remembered the other information from Sam earlier. "Have you guys had any visitors?"

"Just our cousins. Two of them stayed home, but the three sisters and Edward are visiting. They know the treaty we have and are respecting your land, don't you worry about that."

Lee hummed and continued. "The pack caught the scent of a vampire near the border, definitely none of you. Someone's here, and they're slipping past all of us." Carlisle paused for a millisecond. Lee wondered how that translated for their minds.

"We'll do some patrolling, and I'll call tomorrow at some point to ask your pack to plan to stay in your homes for the day. It should allow Alice to do her magic, and see if she can spot anything."

"Alice is the tiny one, right? The confederate's mate." Carlisle cringed at the way he described Jasper, but when the only thing you talk about is how you joined the civil war early… the blonde man could not take Jasper's side on that one.

"Yes, the confederate's mate."

"Okay."

They stood in silence for a bit before a knock sounded. Lee opened the door to see his aunt.

"Auntie," he stepped to the side.

She ignored him, looking to her son. "Brady… is he okay?" Lee tightened his jaw, stepping to the side more and watching.

"From what I can tell, his shift was triggered too early and it's not only kickstarted his puberty, but because it's happening to rapidly his body is fighting it like an infection."

"So, similar to how some of us got sick right before the first shift?" Lee spoke up.

"Yes, but that initial sickness is meant to prep your body, slowly adjusting you to your new body temperature and functioning. This poor kid didn't get that, and immediately shot up six inches, put on muscle mass, and his entire physiology changed in a matter of minutes. He shouldn't be nauseous, I recommend feeding him a lot, and some ice baths and rest until he's full health again. If you need anything, Lee here has my number."

"I'll have Leah call you if I need you."

"Lee." Lee and Carlisle corrected at the same time, and the wolf turned his head in shock to the doctor, silently thanking him.

"Whatever." His aunt's voice kicked him back into the present and he growled at her lowly, leaving before he said something he shouldn't. Once outside, he wrapped his arms back around Bella and kissed her head.

"Do you have plans, Bell?"

"No, I don't. Why do you ask?"

"I've got to go check some scent out, see if I can track and pin it down. I don't want you to get caught up in trouble. Do you mind hanging out with the pack or Rose and them while I'm out?" Bella gave him a look and he rolled his eyes. "I know you're perfectly capable of taking care of yourself, and if it was a human threat so be it, but Vampires can and will eat you."

"Actually…" Rosalie strutted over putting her nose to Bella's head and sniffing deeply. A weird move normally, but they all knew there was a reason for Rosalie to get that close to any human. "Her scent has changed. She smelled normal yesterday… well, normal for her." Rosalie backed up again, not wanting to risk Lee getting upset with her next words. Bella turned in his arms to look at Rosalie, listening. "Bella, your blood has always smelled unusually sweet, even to vampires you don't sing to."

"Sing?" Lee furrowed his brow. He'd never heard them use that term around him.

"Yes. Every vampire has a singer, although they may never meet. When they do, it's incredibly hard to resist the blood of their singer. Not usually a problem for regular vampires, besides getting them out of sight, but a problem when you're trying to stay 'vegan'. It's the reason Edward was so obsessed with you. Your blood sings to him and he believed since he could resist it, you were meant to be. The problem is we won't know a human is our mate until they've been turned."

"Really? Then why did you save Emmett?" Bella didn't mean it maliciously, she was just curious.

"Well, I did feel a little bit of a tug, but I would have killed him with mercy if he hadn't begged me to save him. He thought I was an angel, it was the first time a man had ever looked at me as something beyond an item. An object. He saw me as a person, and the beauty that I held not because I was objectively gorgeous, but because he just…" her eyes got spacy as she smiled. "He just did. I still can't quite put words to it. But in that moment I realized the first man to look at me without lust, and he was dying. So I picked him up, and tore through the forest back to Carlisle, and begged him to save him. By the second day the bond was forming, and when he opened his eyes we both knew." She smiled at the two, a rare occasion even now, and they were both struck by how it changed her face. She was gorgeous by any standards, but her grin was infectious and turned her beauty from a cold one, to a warm and stunning version of that same beauty.

"Emmett's a lucky guy," they replied in sync, and the three laughed.

"You two remind me of how we were back then. I expect a wedding invitation."

"Are you kidding? Don't tell Alice, but you're my maid of honor." Bella smiled and Rosalie let out a chuckle.

"God, integrating the wolves into the family was the best thing we've ever done. Do you know how nice it is to be able to keep things from one of them now? And with Edward gone most of the time it's even better." Carlisle stepped out of the house and Rose turned to look at him before turning back to the couple. "Anyway, we got off topic. Bella's blood doesn't hold any appeal anymore. Similar to how you guys don't smell appetizing to us, but she doesn't smell like a wolf per say. It's hard to explain." Lee tilted his head and leaned down, sniffing his mate. She smelled the same to him. Vanilla, oranges, brown sugar, motor oil. He lifted his head back up.

"What does she smell like to you?"

"For lack of better words, she smells like you without the wolf part. It's as if she has no blood at all, but I can hear the blood rushing around her body. Not a bad smell, it's… pleasant. Like how I imagine you feel about the smell of the forest, or how your home smells. Pleasant, but it's not something you want to eat."

Carlisle joined them. "That's a good way to explain it. No need to worry, Bella, it just means Lee's wolf has fully accepted and marked you." This got… well, everyone's attention. Sam and Jared walked over and Bella blushed.

"What do you mean?" Sam hadn't been fully listening, speaking to the doctor and Brady's mother about what was going on and only cluing in after. They caught him up, giving only the barest of details.

"Have you not had that happen?" Lee asked his ex, still holding Bella's body against his. Despite them living together now, he was a needy bastard and having her close was calming him.

"No. The wolf doesn't even like me let alone Emily." Sam frowned. Jared laughed.

"My wolf and I are tight. I'm working on that smooth shift Lee does." He high fived Lee, grinning. Carlisle looked up at the darkening sky and reached over to shake Lee's hand.

"It's getting late, we've all had quite the day and it looks like Bella's getting tired." Lee looked up, not realizing how the time had flown. He still needed to go track that scent.

"I have to do some wolf things, Rose, do you and Emmett mind staying with Bella tonight, just in case? It could be nothing, but I'd rather not risk it."

Rose nodded, sending a text to her mate. Sam sighed and scratched his chest. "I hate to admit it, but it's nice having the backup."

"Carlisle, I'm clear to track the scent across the boundary lines?"

"Absolutely."

"Perfect."

He, Bella and Rose met Emmett back at the wolf's house. He made sure to help Bella get settled, kissing her and leaving a bottle of water on the bedside table before he took off, tucking his shorts behind a tree and shifting. Jacob was running patrol with Embry. That's lucky.

Jake, where did you catch that vampire scent, bud?

Oh hey, cousin. About halfway along the northern border and circling around. Seemed like they were testing the boundary I'm not sure.

Hm. Alright I'll check it out.

The scents gone, dude.

Maybe for you. Lee smirked at the cries of protest and started to slow when he got to the place Jake had talked about. He searched, nose to the ground as he processed each portion of the forest floor. That gross smell lingered, but their actual scent lasted longer, leaving the untrained or unknowing wolf lost. Lee continued searching in almost a grid pattern, looking for the out of place scent. It was at the upper side of the border where the Cullen and La Push boundaries connected that he caught it.

Cinnamon, ginger, and clove. He stopped, processing. He recognized that smell, but couldn't place it. It was not a Cullen. He kept sniffing, smelling traces of human blood as well. Okay so not the cousin either, unless they're off their diet.

This is weird. He kept tracking it, following as the trail weaved in and out of La Push and Forks. Suddenly the scent veered off and took off away from town, and Lee followed, howling to let the pack know where he was. He kept going, until about seven miles outside of town the scent changed. The wolf stopped, sniffing the air and ground around him. 12. 12 separate scents.

That can't be right. Human feeders don't travel in covens that size. He took several deep breaths. The sickly sweet smell of death didn't linger, so they had come through a while ago. Doesn't seem to be any nearby at least. He shifted back and dialed Rosalie's number.

"What's up, mutt?" Lee snorted.

"Better a mutt than inbred. Can you have Alice or Jasper, whoever has a better tracing ability, to come meet me? I want to be sure I'm not crazy."

"Oh, Esme would be better for that. Give me three minutes then howl, loudly, and she'll find you." Rose hung up and Lee shrugged, shifting back again. He did as told, and a couple minutes later a smaller woman appeared. She had Carmel colored hair, appearing to be about 25, and Lee took a deep breath, smelling that she had food in the basket on her hip.

"Go ahead and change back, dear, I'll see what I can find. Help yourself to the sandwiches in there, I brought some cakes, too." Lee changed back and threw on shorts, thanking the older vampire. She did her own search, frowning and seeming to do it a second time. "Well. You were wrong. But it's not a good sign. It looks like about 15 separate vampires, give or take. I recognize one of them, the one you were tracking. She should be dead though." Lee tilted his head, trying to eat politely despite how ravenous he felt. Esme rolled her eyes. "Go ahead and 'wolf' it down, you won't offend me. Do you remember the tracker that was after Bella?" Lee growled and nodded. "He had a mate. Seth, I believe, tore her apart and Edward was supposed to burn the body. Which means he's got some explaining to do." She patted Lee's head in a comforting manner and he sighed as he got up, taking in the exact location he was at.

"Thank you. That's way more than I can handle alone, I'm not that dumb. Can we agree you pass the info to your family, I'll pass it to the pack?" Esme nodded, shoving the basket with the remaining food into his hands. "Thank you again. Have Carlisle call Sam and we'll set up a meeting to figure out what to do about this."

With that, they headed home. Lee slipped into the back door, having heard Rose and Em tell him goodbye before they had made their leave. The wolf thanked them, peeking in at his snoring mate before jumping in the shower and getting settled. The second he slipped into bed, not even able to get comfortable, Bella's arms and legs seemed to latch around him with an aggression he personally loved. Her arms snapped around his chest from behind, yanking him into her body and throwing her leg over his hip, clutching hard. He smiled, snuggling into her arms and almost immediately falling asleep.

Lee started waking up slowly the next morning, feeling his body warming up and lips on his neck. He hummed, the sound vibrating in his chest and he felt Bella's lips pause, and smile against the skin of his neck before she nipped under his jaw, latching on to leave a dark mark. Rapidly, Lee was approaching a fully awake state, a moan escaping his lips as his mate's body straddled his waist. It was about two seconds after he realized where she was located that he also realized she was completely naked, and he went to grab her hips.

His eyes snapped open and he looked up, seeing she had tied his wrists to the head of the bed with bright purple rope. He blinked, stunned and just a little distracted.

When did she manage that…? Lee thought to himself, genuinely stunned that he slept through that before a nip to his neck snapped him back to focus. Bella smirked at him, her long wavy hair creating a curtain around him.

"Is the rope okay?" she asked him in a surly tone, and his breath hitched as he nodded. His mate rarely got like this (though it could be that he rarely noticed and she allowed him to take charge…), but when she did he was happy to be powerless to stop her. "Good boy… now hold still…" her voice was nearly a growl and he whined, nodding and laying back. Bella licked her lips, tracing a path down his body with her lips. She paid attention to the slightly darker skin of his scars, kissing along them softly before moving down, spurred on by his soft sounds of pleasure. Once she reached his waistband, she gazed up at him through her eyelashes and he felt his breath leave his body in a rush, lifting his hips for her. She pulled them down and off, lips attaching to his inner thigh immediately after.

Oh, he saw what was happening. There was no use telling her he was plenty wet enough, please stop teasing. He knew better, she enjoyed this part far too much, and he wouldn't ever complain about it.

Bella's lips worked up his thigh, leaving several hickeys and bite marks that healed shortly after, and just when he thought her lips would stop where he wanted her to, she treated the other thigh the same way. He lifted his hips, letting out a soft whine as he silently begged for her to touch him. He felt her smile, almost a smirk, against his skin, and finally her fingers came into contact with his core. She spread his lips and ran her tongue slowly from entrance to tip, wrapping her lips around his clit and sucking. A struggled noise tore from Lee's throat, a mix of a moan and a scream as liquid fire shot up his stomach immediately. He had to put active effort not to slam his legs closed, not wanting to hurt his mate but fuck man she felt amazing. Their eyes met and he saw the moment she decided to push in, feeling two fingers enter him and curl into his gspot as as she added her tongue to the mix, circling his clit and flicking it over the tip.

"Fuck, Bella!" Lee gasped out, throwing his head back and bucking into her. He lost track of time as she worked his body, hitting both ends of his clit at once with practiced motions. He was sure he had already cum at some point, but Bella refused to stop. By the time she pulled back, moving back up to kiss him, he was shaking and on an unimaginable high. His body felt like it was on fire, his blood liquid magma as he came down. Bella's kisses helped bring him back and he moaned, kissing her back earnestly.

"Are you still with me, handsome?" Lee nodded, catching his breath. "Ready for round 2?"

"Was that not round one through seven?" He sounded tired, but there was a smile in his voice.

"No, my love. That was round one."

"O-oh… I'm in danger." He smirked and she laughed, getting up and digging around in her bag. The angle he was tied at meant he couldn't quite see what she was doing, but the sounds clued him in. She returned with a strap of her own and his eyebrows raised.

"Are you okay with this?" She asked him, her voice softer and he nodded, spreading his legs for her. Bella got into position, taking a moment to take in the look of her mate as his chest rose and fell in a steady rhythm, his dark eyes locked onto her as he licked his lips. She didn't waste anymore time, lining up and pushing inside him slowly. His walls clenched around the toy as he moaned, feeling the stretch. Her hands slide over and around his thighs as she bottomed out inside him, pushing against his cervix. Her grip brought his knees over her shoulders and pulling his hips into hers as she started a slow pace, her eyes on his face as she pulled the you nearly completely out, pausing a moment before slamming it back in. The shock added another spike of pleasure as Lee screamed Bella's name, his head falling back as she took him. Each thrust in had a little more speed, the pause growing shorter each time until Bella was slamming into him with all the power her body possessed. Lee wasn't being quiet, his screams and moans spurring his mate in as she drove him toward the edge, her eyes flashing a brighter amber. In an instant she found more strength and grabbed Lee's knees, pushing them towards his chest and changing her angle, her hard thrusts now directed entirely at his gspot.

"Fuck! Don't stop, baby, please don't stop!" He gasped out, and she watched him fighting himself to not break the rope until she saw his face change as he crashed over the edge. She pulled the quick release in the knot and he grabbed the headboard, fingers digging in and splintering the wood as his orgasm washed over him in thunderous waves. Bella kept her pace, slowing steadily to help him ride through it until she let his legs go, feeling them wrap around her as his arms followed. She remained buried inside him as he caught his breath, trembling and rubbing her back. Her lips brushed over his skin, and she kept her voice low as she spoke. "If you let go for a moment, baby, I can clean you up and hold you." He whined, still shaking. "I'll give you head scratches." He relented and let her go, moaning as she slipped out from inside him. As carefully as he always cleaned her, she did the same, coaxing him to drink some water as well before she got back into bed. Lee immediately tucked into her side, his head in the crook of her neck and one arm and leg thrown over her. As promised, Bella run her fingers through her mate's shaggy hair, making a note that she needed to offer him a haircut. Only if he wanted it, of course. He hummed, melting into her body and fully enjoying her hands on him, especially when her other hand started running nails along his back. It was light, nearly no pressure but it was undeniably one of his favorite things. Life was good.

Hope you all enjoyed!
