Artemis' car rumbled to a stop at the treaty line. Just because the real alpha was imprinted on her sister, didn't mean Artemis and the rest of the family were allowed to cross freely.

A shirtless man ran out of the edge of the woods, bounding up to Artemis' open window were she was pinching her nose. "Hey, Embry," she said nasally.

"Artemis," he greeted with a smirk, leaning in closer so his stench made her eyes water. "Where ya headed?"

"The beach-"

"Don't you have a beach on your side?"

"I'm meeting up with some friends down at yours," she continued with a glare.

"Ohh," he smirked, having already found out about the whole Paul imprinting thing when Paul phased in order to run after her. "Are these friends... guys, by any chance?"

She frowned. "What's it to you?"

"Oh, you know, just watching out for the Cullen kids..."

"I'm physically not that much younger than you. I'll be like twenty-three in two years and stay like that forever- And, since when do you care?"

Embry shrugged. "Come on... I'm just wondering..."

She sighed. "Yes, some are guys."

"Oooh... Are they cute?"

"Yes, they're good-looking..."

"You got your eyes on one of them?"

"Yes, I think I d- Why am I telling you this!? I'm going to be late!" She revved up her engine.

Embry gave a hearty laugh, stepping back from her car. "I'm that easy to talk to. See ya around, Artemis!" he called after her as she sped off towards the beach.

A growl came from the trees, making Embry laugh once more before running off to continue his patrol.

"Artemis!"

She looked over to see Jace waving her down as she stepped out of her car. She gave a smile and a wave, grabbing her tote bag and walking over to her friends.

"Glad you could make it," he grinned, jogging over to give her hug, pulling her into his shirtless frame.

Artemis closed her eyes, trying not to zone in on his beating heart or the pulse beating in his bare neck... "Hi," she mumbled near breathlessly.

Jace pulled back with a smile, wrapping an arm around her shoulders and leading her over to the group. Rick and Mark were playing some catch with a football, showing off their physique in their low-hanging trunks. Jonesy sat quitely in a two piece, a thin cover up reaching her knees as she read a book. Sara sat beside her, donning the same type of beach wear, watching the twins' muscle movement and snapping a few scenic shots on a modern Polaroid.

Artemis glanced towards Jace as they approached, noticing how low his trunks hung on his narrow hips. He wasn't especially ripped like the twins but he was well-defined for his lean frame.

"Hi Artemis!" Sara called with a wave, the others following suit. She dug around her striped beach bag, pulling out a black and grey two-piece with a thin white cover up. "Here, I brought you these; you can have them if they fit you," she added with a smile.

Artemis nodded gratefully, excusing herself to the public restrooms to change. She sipped on her first blood bottle as she stepped out of the bathrooms, a light breeze billowing her cover up. Her nose caught a sweet scent in the air but before she could think more on it, Jace was giving her a wolf-whistle.
