~Six Months Later~

I was sitting in Brandon's living room with him and the other guys in our pack. It's pretty much tradition for the cursed to form a pack in order to protect the town from any dangers.

Our packed consisted of Brandon, Luke, Chris, Diego, Mike, and me. The cursed usually are boys, but every once and a while you get a couple of girls thrown in there.

The boys and I were joking around.

"So, Lexi," Mike said. "Any boys trying to get in there?" He asked as he placed his hand on my thigh.

"Other than you, no," I replied as I pushed his hand away.

Neither Mike nor I have feelings for each other; we just play around like that.

"You ready for school next month?" Brandon asked.

"Yeah, I'm very excited," I answered.

I was the youngest of the group and the only one still in high school since all the boys were at least two years older than me.

"I hear that band you like is going to be in Dallas soon," Diego told me.

"Yeah, I know."

"You going?" Chris asked.

I shook my head. "Mom doesn't have the money and I would have no way to get there."

"Maybe I can work a little something out," Brandon suggested.

"No, it's fine. I'll live through it."

Brandon opened his mouth to say something, but the ringing of my phone interrupted him. I fished my phone out if my pocket and saw it was my mom calling.

"Yes, ma'am?" I answered.

"Are you at Brandon's again?" She asked. "You know I don't like you being alone with all those boys."

"No. Why?"

"I can hear voices."

"It's the TV."

"Alright. I'm about to leave from work."

"Okay, I'll make sure the house is clean before you get back."

"Alright. Bye."

"Bye."

I hung up the phone and looked at Brandon.

"Mind taking me home?" I asked.

He stood up. "Let's go."

I followed Brandon to his car. I'm not going to lie, I had had a little crush on Brandon since I first met him, but I doubted he liked me back.

~Three Weeks Later~

I waited until Brandon's car pulled into my driveway.

"Hey, Lexi," Luke said from the backseat.

"Hi, Lukey," I greeted. I looked at Brandon. "So what's the plan for today?"

"You're going to be keeping guard for while," Brandon explained.

"Along with me," Luke chimed in.

*****************

Luke and I were just lolling around in our human forms.

"I hate guard duty," I complained. "Nothing ever goes on anyways."

"Yeah, but better safe than sorry," Luke said. "So how are things with you and Brandon?"

"Same old; same old."

"I guess you haven't felt the blast yet."

I laughed."The what?"

"You know that feeling you get when you're in love."

"Luke, have you been drinking?"

Luke chuckled. "I only had one officer," he slurred then began wobbling.

Both of us bursted out laughing. We continued to walk. While we were talking I suddenly heard rustling.

"You hear that?" I asked Luke.

"Yeah. Split up?"

"Sounds good to me."

Both of us changed into our wolf form and took off. I caught an horrible, unfamiliar scent. Now, I'm not stupid so I knew it wasn't an animal; I could slightly smell a vampire. I finally caught sight of something moving and I ran after it. I got closer to notice it was a guy running at an abnormal speed. I sprinted after the man. The guy looked back and ran faster. I went as fast as I could until I was close enough. I leaped on top of the him and knocked him off balance. The he fell onto his back with me on top of him. I bared my teeth at him.

"Easy there," he said.

I recognized him.

He was Harry Styles.
