I woke up the next morning, feeling rather odd. There was a content feeling in my heart, yet it had a longing that I knew could only be eased when in the arms of one particular man. Having Sam sleeping a few doors away had caused my wolf to feel agitated, she wanted nothing more than to have him beside us but I knew our relationship shouldn't move that quickly. He knows that we are aware of him and his pack, he is also aware that there is such thing as soul mates and mate bonds in my world. I hadn't come round to explaining that he is my soul bond, and most importantly, my destined mate because of my wolf.

I made my way downstairs, my hair tied up in a messy bun and a silky red robe draped over my silky shorts and vest top. I wandered into the kitchen, completely unaware of my surroundings until a deep voice cleared its throat, making me jump. I swung around, my cheeks heated up instantly at the sight of Sam, topless with nothing but jogging bottoms on.

"Good morning beautiful" He purred with a smirk on his face, a cup of coffee in his hand whilst he sits at the kitchen island. My skin erupted with goosebumps as his eyes raked over my figure, his intense stare making me flustered.

"Good morning, are you hungry?" I asked as I tried to distract myself from staring at his muscular chest and torso. He let out a small chuckle and hummed as a response, I cleared my throat awkwardly and with a wave of my hand, items began to float out of the fridge. As I placed a frying pan on the cooker, I jumped slightly as arms wrapped around my waist. The moment our skin touched, sparks erupted over my body and I bit my lip to hold back a moan, though that didn't stop him from letting out a seductive growl. I instinctively leaned back against his chest as he places his face in the crook of my neck, knowing full well he was doing so to inhale my scent.

"Your scent drives me crazy" He groaned into my neck, his breath against my skin had caused me to melt in his embrace. I wanted to express how much I agree with his statement, his scent had driven me wild from the moment I saw him on the beach, but I knew it wasn't the right time to reveal Ginny and I's deepest secret.

He placed a small kiss on my cheek before allowing me to continue to make breakfast, he returned to his seat and watched as I magically cooked a large meal. I glanced over my shoulder a few times, and the look of pure awe and love was clear in his eyes. I'm sure he spotted my cheeks turning red more than I would have liked.

"Morning" Jared and Jacob yawned in greeting as the entered the kitchen, though they seemed a lot more awake when they smelled the food. They took their seats and a cup of orange juice and coffee was placed in front of them, their eyes widened slightly when they noticed the pancakes being flipped on their own and the dishes being cleaned without any help.

"What are your plans for today?" Paul asked before sipping his coffee.

"The girls and I are taking a trip into forks for a few hours" three small growls were heard from behind me, I let out a sigh and turned towards them and noticed they were all tense, clutching the counter as their hands turned white.

"What?" I asked as I crossed my arms over my chest.

"It's dangerous"

"We can't protect you"

"There are bloodsuckers"

"What could you possibly want in forks that you can't get here?"

"It's boring"

I listened as they rambled on about why we shouldn't step foot in forks, at first, it was amusing but then it became rather frustrating and I began to feel my patience waver.

"We can only protect you on our land"

"Enough" I demanded through clenched teeth, I felt unfamiliar power behind my tone. Jared and Jacob lowered their head instantly with a small whine whilst Sam looked taken back by my reaction, though he seemed more surprised by his pack members' submission. I take a deep breath as I tried to calm myself.

"I understand that there are vampires and I appreciate the concern, but you must have forgotten that I'm a witch. I can take them down before they could even think about attacking us" I reassured as best as I could, though I know they would still be worried and would not like it any less.

"Jacob, go wake Paul. Luna and Ginny will be down soon" I said before turning back to the food. A single chair scraping against the floor was heard, followed by footsteps, leaving an intense silence to linger. By the time everything was ready and plated, Jacob returned, followed by Paul, Luna and Ginny.

"Enjoy your breakfast, I'll be upstairs getting ready" I announced before walking away, leaving before anyone could say a word.

Sam's POV

We all watched as Hermione walked away. The three newcomers looked confused at her sudden behaviour change, though Ginny and Luna seemed to be familiar with her mood.

"What happened?" Ginny asked as she looked between Jared and me.

"I think we pissed her off" Jared mumbled nervously, not meeting the read head's eyes.

"Yes, I'm quite aware of that but what did you do?" she asked once again, though more inpatient.

"I asked what her plans were for today and she said you three were going to forks-" A growl erupted through Paul's chest, though it stopped immediately as Ginny shot him a glare. She turned back to me, waiting for me to continue.

"We weren't happy about it... And she kind of snapped" Ginny hummed in understanding but our attention was drawn to Luna, whose face lit up in excitement. She must have noticed our confusion because she let out a giggle.

"My mate will be waiting," She said through her giggle. My eyebrows shot up in surprise, I glanced at Ginny who was watching her friend with a soft smile.

"Who's your mate?" Jacob asked with a smile. I noticed how close they had gotten last night, I had questioned him about it but he assured me that he saw her as a sister, nothing more and nothing less.

"Edward Cullen, of course," the four of us froze in shock. How was that possible? He already had a mate... Isn't that what Bella is?

"Not possible" Jacob growled, though Luna didn't seem affected by his reaction as she continued her meal with a wide smile.

"Why is that?"

"Bella is his mate" Paul responded to his imprint.

"That bitch isn't his mate, she's his singer. Of course, those two things can be mistaken for one another but not to worry, her true self will be revealed soon" I was shocked to see such harshness on Luna's face, she had always been in a somewhat of a dream world, always smiling and giggling. Though her sweet smile returned By the end of her sentence, her mood change seemed to cause the others to be rather nervous.

After we finished breakfast, Hermione reappeared with Light Blue jeans that hugged her legs perfectly and a black off the shoulder t-shirt with a leather jacket over it. Instead of her usual curly hair, it was straight and laid perfectly at the bottom of her back. As per usual, she wore hardly, if not any, make-up. Her mood seemed to have brightened up because she strolled into the kitchen with a smile and a bounce in her step.

"How was breakfast, I hope it was okay?" she questioned as she stood beside me, I wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her onto my lap. I bury my face in the crook of her neck as she takes a hold of my hand and began to play with my fingers.

"It was delicious Hermione, thank you" Jared responded with an appreciative smile, her face instantly lit up with happiness.

"I'm glad, are you girls already to go?" She questioned and I instantly tensed, holding back a growl that threatened to escape. I was left in shock as she raises my hand and places a kiss on my knuckles, it was such a small gesture but a comforting one, nonetheless. She looked over her shoulder at me and sent me a reassuring smile, I let out a sigh and nodded my head before placing a kiss on the back of her shoulder.

"I'll see you later, love" she whispers before walking out the room, Luna and Ginny following close behind. I let out a groan the minute I heard the front door shut.

"She called me, love, do you know how sexy it sounds coming from someone with her accent" I sighed as it took everything in me not to run after her and beg for her to stay by my side. Jacob and Jared chuckled whilst Paul nodded his head in agreement, knowing full well what their accent does to us.

Ginny's POV

"Things seem to be improving with you and Sammy boy" I teased as I wiggled my eyebrows. A deep blush appeared on her cheeks, making Luna and I laugh.

"Could say the same for you and Paul" She responded with a smirk.

"Honestly, he's the best damn thing that ever happened to me. Merlin, I want to fuck him so bad" I groaned loudly, gaining the attention of multiple people, who looked at me with disapproval and disgust. Not that I noticed, of course, I was too busy fantasizing about Paul and his delicious body.

"Ginny, must you be so loud?" Hermione laughed with a shake of her head.

"Are they aware that they're your mates?" Luna asked in curiosity.

"Not yet, I just don't know how to say it. I'm waiting for Sam to ask me out, but it seems that isn't going to happen" Hermione responded with a sad sigh. I let out a scoff and swatted her arm, she let out a small hiss and sent me a half-hearted glare whilst rubbing her sore spot.

"What was that for?"

"Why the fuck are you waiting for him? You're an independent, badass witch, why don't you ask him out?" I questioned with a raised eyebrow, her sadness instantly disappeared and was replaced by determination.

"You're right, I can ask him out" I patted her shoulder in support whilst Luna nodded her head and gave her a thumb up, in her unique way of encouragement.

As we continued our journey through the small town of Forks, a familiar figure was seen further ahead, looking around with a confused expression. I nudged Hermione and Luna and gestured towards the figure, at first they understand what I was trying to say until I pointed towards the figure. Hermione let out a gasp and grabbed our hands, pulling us towards her.

"What the fuck are you doing here?" I asked as I tried to catch my breath.

"Finally, I found you. Draco told me it's probably not a good idea to just turn up at your home, so I apparated into the nearest town. Where the fuck do you three live? Please tell me it's close, my legs are fucking killing me" She ranted with a sense of relief. The three of us remained silent, still shocked to find someone from back home, wandering around a muggle town.

"I repeat, what are you doing here?"

"I was bored. Try being with Blaise, Theo and Draco all the time, it's absolutely exhausting" She said dramatically, flinging her arms up as we watched in amusement.

"Pansy, you've been friends with them since you were a child. I'm sure you're used to it by now" I responded with a laugh. She rolled her eyes with a huff, nonetheless, she looks around with a raised eyebrow.

"This town is... Interesting"

"Not up to your standards, princess?" Luna teased, making Hermione and I chuckle under our breath. It's rare that Pansy ever wonders out of the magical world, considering that was where she's most comfortable. Also, she had been raised to despise all things muggle, so to now be in a completely different place, especially in a whole other country, will take some time to get used to.

"Hush now child, the adults are talking" Pansy responded with a huff, though it was obvious that she was only teasing. They had a rather odd friendship, some people, who weren't familiar with the two, would wonder whether they hated, or fancied one another. They would bicker and flirt in the same sentence, though it's completely innocent, it certainly confused a lot of people.

"You're an adult, I wouldn't have guessed" Luna gasped in feign shock. I shook my head in amusement and looked around as the two continued to bicker, as I looked to my right, a familiar figure stood staring in our direction.

"Luna, your mate is here" I sang quietly, her head immediately snapped in his direction wide-eyed, completely ignoring Pansy who demanded answers. He seemed to have frozen, his eyes gazing into her with such longing.

"You can come and talk to me, I don't bite," She said softly, though in a slightly teasing manner, knowing full well that he can hear her. His eyebrows furrowed and stepped forward hesitantly, she nodded her head encouragingly and gestured him forward with her pointer finger. I watched in amusement as he continued to walk in our direction, he glanced over his shoulder a few times but never once stopped.

"Oh look, the handsome stranger is approaching" Pansy announced with a wide grin, nudging Luna playfully. Her mouth clamped shut as he stopped in front of us, his eyes glued onto Luna, who stood with her head tilted to the side as she looked up at him with a warm smile.

"Hello Edward" She greeted, her smile widening as he shifted on his feet awkwardly, though I could only assume it was because three other girls were gawking at him.

"Uh, hello" He responded with a small nod. He glanced at us as he scratched the back of his head nervously.

"Why don't we give you some space" Hermione suggested, grabbing hold of Pansy and my hand.

"But, I want to see how it plays out" Pansy protested as she struggled against Hermione's hold, I glanced back at Edward and Luna with a pout but followed Hermione nonetheless.

"They sure are cute together"
