Cullen's Little Red

Mates

The smoke from her burning house persisted in fading, passing through the thorns and from limb to limb. The shifters who blend in with the community at the horrifying scene vanished back into the shadows, furiously believing that the Cullens hold the answers.

"An investigation is underway into the deaths of two elderly couples who were burnt to death in a 10 p.m. fire; there was leakage from the tank, matches were discovered, and the couple was holding hands."

"The question of how there can be fire when it is pouring rain heavily is one that the locals ask all the time."

When Carlisle turned off the TV, Marco at his house threw the remote with such force that the TV screen cracked.

Cada halted in front of Billy's house, her clothes dripping, and she raced to his door, grinning at the sound of his beating heart.

Billy Black was sitting in his wheelchair, grinning in surprise, when the door opened in less than two seconds.

"Are you going to invite me in?"

"Come on in, Sycada."

"Where is Jacob?"

"There was an emergency, he should be heading back."

Billy said, taking a deep breath, upon noticing the bloodstains on her jacket and the pungent, iron-like scent.

The Cullens and the shifters met in the interim. While they both agreed that a witch started the fire, "Sycada"'s name was brought up because her house was also destroyed in another fire.

"She would not take a chance on it"

"Jasper This is Sycada, the girl that knows more than we do! What is it that she cannot do?

Rosalie elaborated.

"Okay, guys, we located her, but for now
We maintain a low profile. Charlie is on us.

Carlisle intervenes. Renesme took one look at Jake, grinned, and felt her heart quicken. She covered her face with her hands and slipped upstairs to her room, silently searching for the answer to the question Marco had posed.

Feeling content, Jake led the pack in a howl to the moon ahead of them. He turned back to appear in front of his father's small wooden building.

Running towards it, he shakes his head as water sprinkles off, pushing open the door as he is drawn in. A soft palm is against his chest, and two red eyes flare into his.

"Cada? "Where is my dad?

"Good to see you, I appreciate you asking."

Rolling her eyes, she spoke as Billy entered the living room.

"Until her house is rebuilt, Jake Cada will remain here."

"What? It was wrong of her to burn it in the first place.

As Billy gave Cada a bunch of keys, Jake lost his temper. Cada gave a disbelieving smile and wink to Jake.

"Your sisters called today, and I will be going over to the states for a month so you and Cada can work out your personal spaces."

As Cada bit her lower lip and grinned, Billy continued and wheeled back to his room. With his face inches from hers and his warm, deep breaths caressing her cheeks, Jake pushed her against the wall.

"Can you tell me something? Sycada, what do you want?

"A comfy bed to sleep on, with muscles like yours to keep me cozy"

As Jake's hands continued to press against her hip, Cada spoke in a seductive tone and moved her lips away from his. Cada smiled quickly from within his grip.
