Isabelle paced back and forth in front of the tv in the living room. It's been over an hour and they weren't back yet. She was getting more nervous by the second and there was no way to stop it.

Abby was acting all calm and that irritated Isabelle even more. After a moment she heard, "you need to calm down. I'm sure they'll be here any moment."

"Calm down?" Isabelle exclaimed turning on her, "you want me to calm down? That's not happening. How are you so calm during all of this? Aren't you the least bit worried?"

"Of course I'm worried," Abby answered, "it's just that one of us needs to be the calm one. This is usually your position and I'm the one usually pacing all over the place. This is a big change. So please, calm down a little and work with me. It would be the best if you did."

"I don't think that's going to happen. Not until they're back."

Abby sighed, "fine." Isabelle watched as Abby leaned back against the couch before she resumed to pace.

The doors then opened and in stepped both Jared and Luke. Without a second thought, Isabelle ran to Jared and jumped in his arms. She wrapped her arms around his neck tightly and said in his ear, "don't you ever do that again. You scared me nearly half to death."

"Shh... it's okay baby," Jared whispered soothingly in her ear and rubbed her back, "I'm fine. I'm not going to be leaving you any time soon, so don't worry about it."

Isabelle pulled back to look at him. "Don't worry about you? But I'll always be worried about you. How can I not be? You're my mate and the one person that I have the biggest bond with, the one person I love entirely." She then looked over at Abby and said, "no offense Ab, I do love you but like a sister."

"None taken," Abby answered who was currently wrapped up in Luke's arms also but had her back pressed against his chest instead.

After a moment, Isabelle looked back at Jared and asked, "did you happen to see any white wolf while you were out there? The wolf saved my life and I want to be able to repay him in some way."

"As a matter of fact I did. And I know who you ran into. His name is Daniel and he's my third in command. I guess I was lucky to have him on border patrol in that place otherwise I may have lost you." Jared hugged her tighter to him as he said that and said, "don't almost die ever again. That's twice now. I can't lose you."

"I can't lose you either," Isabelle repeated and closed her eyes. She took a deep breath and relaxed against him. "When can I meet Daniel? I want to thank him personally for saving me."

Jared thought for a moment before answering, "how about tomorrow? Right now, I want to go to bed with you and just have some sleep."

Isabelle nodded and looked over at Abby and Luke. "Is that alright with you?"

"Yeah, of course it is. Go ahead, get going. We'll be fine." Abby answered her with a smile.

Isabelle smiled back. "Thanks." She then turned to Jared and said, "let's go."

Jared nodded before smirking. She tilted her head to the side, wondering what that meant, before she found out. She was thrown over his shoulder, once again, and he raced up the stairs. She laughed the entire time.

Once they were in the bedroom with the door closed, Jared pinned her to the door and said, "I lied. I don't want to go bed. I want to do more. Are you ready for this?"

It took Isabelle a moment before she slowly nodded and looked in his eyes. "Yes, I'm ready. I don't think I can wait much longer. I want you. I don't think I could live a day longer if it meant one day you might have died and we never did it."

Jared's face brightened and his smirk grew bigger, "that's good to know, because I don't think I would have held back. I'm not holding back now." His lips then crashed on mine, soon blocking any noise that might have come from me.

Well it's shorter, sorry. And I'm so sorry for the late update, I literally had no time to write. I had show choir competition and then dance and drivers ed. I've just been so busy lately I haven't really had time to write. Anyways, I have a question for you guys, do you want more? Do you want a sexual scene or do you just want me to skip to the morning? I won't judge you or anything if you say. You can tell me in a private conversation if you're more comfortable about it. I hope you liked this chapter and once again, sorry for the late update.

You're next riddle to figure out is...

A boy was at a carnival and went to a booth where a man said to the boy, "If I write your exact weight on this piece of paper then you have to give me $50, but if I cannot, I will pay you $50." The boy looked around and saw no scale, so he agreed, thinking no matter what the man writes he will just say he weighs more or less. In the end the boy ended up paying the man $50. How did the man win the bet?
