"Ha-ha!" I shout in victory and hop right back off. "I think you're just about ready to take on the world." He turns to smirk at me. I laugh and Joel does too. "You're a weird bunch." He says and I laugh before turning to Cliff again. "I'm gonna grab some water." I announce and stupidly stare at the floor, turning to walk toward the kitchen. I hit a hard chest in the process."Oops sor-" I start but when I see Elijah was there smiling at me and my breath caught in my throat. "Well hello there." He chuckles. "Hi." I laugh nervously. He pecks my lips and gives me smile. " I agree with Cliff. You are ready to take on the world. Which is why I wanted to talk to you about something." He tells me. I grin. "Alright, talk about what..." I ask, trailing off at the sad look in his eyes. "You better sit down, babe." He tells me and I do.Cliff and Joel were all ears listening carefully and so was I. "What is it?" I ask rudely, desperate for an answer. Well, our pack is about to get b

"Well I gotta get going, pack stuff to take care of. Why don't you go hang out with Cliff and Joel when you're done? Invite Rebekah along too." He crawls over me and kisses me breathless. "Uh.. O-okay." I mutter at the want I feel and he leaves smiling. I start packing again, it takes me another hour by the time I was done. I quickly get dressed (outfit on the side) and head downstairs.There were a few pack members sitting around the living room. "Hey guys, have you seen Cliff and Joel?" I ask them. A girl I remembered as Kendra spoke up and told me they were out back. "Thanks." I smiled to her and walked through the kitchen and to the backyard."Oh, you're already out here." I grin and hug Rebekah. She laughs. "Yeah, was just practicing. What are you doing out here?" She asks me. I take a seat beside her on the porch. "I needed a break." I shrug. I turn and watch Joel and Cliff, they're doing rounds of training on the grass a few meters in front of us. I look up at the s

Time had started to drag on and for whatever reason, we had switched topics and my parents death was being questioned. I was doing okay for the most part. "Did you wanna tell me what happened?" Tamara asks gently. I look over at Bekah, she has a sad smile on her face. "We were going on a family trip up to our cottage in Kirkland. I loved it up there, I miss it. My friends when I was real little used to think such a small town with so little people couldn't be anything fun but it was. And it was beautiful. A home away from home," I smile."I was fourteen when they passed. Ace, my brother was a year older. We had a great relationship back then, we were very close." I can't help but frown. I miss my brother."It was my twelfth birthday when I was able to shift. Ace had gotten me a beautiful, bright white necklace shaped as a single snowflake, as a birthday gift. He told me he had saved up two months worth of allowance so he could get it. He knew how much I loved winter." I sa

Everything was everywhere. In our hair, over our clothes, in our eyes which were now squinting with laughter. It was all over the floor and counters. We were grinning at each other. "That was fun, I haven't done anything like that before." I say happily. "That was fun." He agrees and pecks my cheek. "So, have you ever done something like this before?" He asks slowly. "Something like what?" I ask confused. He sprays my neck with a bit of whip-cream before licking it off, kissing up my jaw to my lips. I moan against his lips and push my hips into his. He grabs my hips and lets out his own mown. "Nope," I mumble as I pull away breathless. "Good." He smirks. "C'mon. I got one other thing that'll be a first for us both." He says, wiping something off my face. I frown. I hate being sticky. Elijah takes my hand and tugs me upstairs to his bedroom. I had a feeling I knew what he had in mind.He closes the door behind us and stands in front of me, a smile on his face. "Let's shower toge

The ground was prickly as I walk bare foot along the ground of what looked to a forestI find myself looking frantically around me. I could smell the moss and the streams somewhere in the distance. The leaves were bright, sun shining through the tops of the trees. I smile. I can hear everything. The animals around me, they're moving, hunting their pray, drinking from the river that flows through the forest. It's only a few meters ahead that I see the first line of a stream. I follow it, taking careful steps. Somehow my feet don't hurt against the prickle.I reach my destination within minutes, a small pond surrounded by streams. I crouch down, running my fingers in the cool water. Looking down at my reflection, I seen I was in all white. My hair in a long beautiful braid that fell down around one of my shoulders. White roses and daisies, all entwined in the crevasses of my braid. It was red. A bright, beautiful red.My dress was white, long and white. There was lace,
