Chapter 4 Not Such a Smooth Ride...

*Nate*

When the bus stopped I was off and running before anyone could say good-bye, not that anyone cared enough to even think to say it. I ran into my house and threw my bag on the couch and went out the back door. I huddle behind a tree and stripped. I fell onto my hands and knees; I felt my bones begin to shift. My fingers sank into the earth as I drew its energy into the phase.

Looking up from the ground I could see the world through the eyes of my wolf, my tongue lolled out of my muzzle. My intention was to go to Honesta's house and check out that guy who was waiting for at the end of the drive.

We found her! My wolf thought happily.

Found whom? Another voice entered my head; I knew this voice could only be one of the twins.

Hey! I was going to ask that! The almost similar voice of the other twin said indignantly.

Well, get over yourself.

Both of you silence! Our alpha, Bowen demanded. Now, Nate... who have you found?

I huffed out a sigh.

I found my mate.

Really? Who? One of the twins got excited.

Before I answer that question which one of you asked that?

Really, Nate, you should be able to tell! One of them sighed inside.

Well, I can't.

It's the one and only Selene!

Actually if you want to be technical... Chandra began.

Well, no one was being 'technical'! So just be quiet! Selene sneered.

That will be enough of you two! Nate who's your mate?

The twins new forest friend. I formed a picture of the girl who made me complete.

You're kidding, right? Selene demanded.

No, I am not!

I think she is all right. Chandra commented.

Well you weren't there when she threatened to break the arms off of who ever touched her in the wrong way and I believe she could do it too.

That doesn't seem like her at all. I was real confused.

Where were you headed before we inferred you? Bowen cut to the chase.

I was going to go looking at her house? I said this like a question.

To do what, exactly? Bowen kept digged.

Um... here's a funny fact of the day... If I were still in my human form I would probably be rubbing the back of neck, hoping no one would push me for an answer.

And that is... Chandra asked

Can we please shift back into our human forms if we are to have this conversation?

That wouldn't be fair! Selene objected.

Why the hell not? I demanded.

Because I have to do patrols! Those damn vamps just won't give up! She sounded exasperated.

No envy there, little sister. Bowen chuckled.

Selene growled at him.

Don't worry! I'll fill you in when your shifts over. Chandra offered.
