him. He was like putty in my arms. I pulled away to get air. I smiled feeling victorious. “Come on we have to get to class.” He said pulling me into first hour.

When first hour was over I went to my locker to get my books for second hour. I didn’t have second hour with Jake so it was my least favorite hour. I sighed grabbing my books and heading to class. What also made this hour so bad was that I had it with Cameron, and his assigned seat was next to mine. When I walked into the class I was the first one there. Until Cameron showed up. I sighed again. Speak of the devil, and he shall appear.
The Kiss

Cameron walked in the room, took one look at me, and then went to his seat. I heard him sigh and he turned to me. I looked the other way. “Audrey…I still love you. You’re my one and only love. Please forgive me. I love you so so so so much. You’re the only thing I have to live for.” He said trying to sound sincere and failing miserably. “Yeah, right. I think the next time you have a girlfriend you should start thinking up here,” I pointed to his head, “Instead of down there.” I pointed to his ‘area’. I smiled a fake smile then turned away. Thankfully he didn’t bug me for the rest of the class.
Class was finally over and I could see Jake again. I was so giddy with anticipation I didn’t even notice that Cameron was standing beside my locker the whole time I was there. Finally I realized it and turned to him. “What the hell do you want?!” I snarled baring my teeth. It didn’t faze him. He smiled big and surprise kissed me. I was shocked and repulsed. How could I ever kiss this guy?! He was never gentle or sweet like Jake. He kissed like a freaking fish too! I pushed him away and heard Jake’s voice in my head. “What the hell was that?! Did he just kiss you?!” “Yes. I didn’t kiss him, he did that all himself.” I whispered through my mind. Suddenly I felt Jake’s presence. I looked at him and saw black eyes. “Calm down.” I thought in a dominant voice. He looked at me questionably, and then turned back to Cameron, who was backing away, the fear clear in his eyes. “Don’t lose control.” I whispered aloud because everyone was out of ear shot. Marci and Will appeared. This was their first day here and they already had to deal with Jake. I went on my tiptoes asking for a kiss, which Jake granted. He pulled away quickly, to my surprise. I looked at him questionably. “You taste like him is all, love.” He said wrapping his arm around me. His eyes were back to their normal beautiful color now, so Marci and Will disappeared.
I wiped my mouth with the fabric of my sweatshirt trying to get that slugs taste off of me. Jake looked down at me and chuckled. “Even though you taste like him, doesn’t mean I don’t love you. You could have one eye, two mouths, and three noses for all I care. I would still love you.” He said with a smile. “I love you too.” I said simply looking up at his gorgeous eyes. “Forever and always?” Jake asked. “Forever and always. I pinky promise.” I said as I held my pinky out to his. He chuckled again and took my pinky into his. He leaned down to whisper in my ear, “I pinky promise.” He said sending chills down my spine as we walked into our third hour class.
-Jake POV-
Audrey and I walked out of class and into the hallway. She went to her locker and I went to mine. Suddenly I hear her voice in my head again. “Jake get over here. Cameron seems to be stalking me.” I walked over to her locker and I could feel my eyes turning black again. What was this kid’s problem? She is my mate. Mine. “I know whose I am.” Audrey whispered into my mind. I sighed trying to calm down a bit as I made my way to her. Once I got there she grabbed my hand, calming me in the process. “Why do you think he’s stalking you?” I whispered into her ear. “Don’t look now but he’s behind the bathroom door looking at us.” She whispered back. When I did I saw him looking at us. My eyes turned black again. “I’ll kill him. I kill him if he ever tries anything with you again.” I promised Audrey. “No you won’t. Because if he ever tries anything with me again I’ll be the one to finish him off.” She said with an evil smile. Oh god I love her. She has the perfect amount of angel and devil in her. “I know. And I love you too.” She said on her tiptoes trying to kiss me. I smiled and leaned down.

Gift?

Cameron has been following Audrey and me nonstop. I don’t know why he doesn’t just give up. I mean when he sees her I’m always with her, most likely kissing her. Something about him seems familiar…like I know him from before I got turned. But that would be impossible, I would smell it if he were immortal. I told this to Audrey. She was surprised at first but she said, “It makes sense because he was very old school, apart from wanting to have sex.” I growled when she said that. “Don’t worry. You are my one and only. I love you to death.” She said as she hugged me, her touch calming me. “I love you too.” I whispered leaning close to her. Our foreheads touched and I felt tingles flow through my body. She felt them too and sighed, loving it. Our lips touched. No matter how many times I kiss her she still takes my breath away. I pulled away. She was molded to my body; I didn’t want to make a scene. She sighed and grabbed my hand. We walked to class with Cameron as our shadow once again.
Exams were finally over and Audrey and I were free of school. And from her parents. Not that they were around half the time anyway. Cameron still follows us around all the time and I’m going to find out why, one way or another. I told Audrey to wait in the car while I talked to this guy. She didn’t listen and followed me inside. “I thought I told you to wait in the car.” I said to her as she walked by my side. She scoffed. “Honey, you’re gonna have to get used to me not listening to you half the time.” She said rolling her eyes. I shook my head. When we found Cameron she talked first. “Cameron, why are you following Jake and me? And don’t say it’s because you are still in love with me because you and I both know that’s not true.” She said confidently. “So your Jake doesn’t remember does now does he?” Cameron asked menacingly. I stared at him blankly. “And what is this he doesn’t remember?” Audrey asked looking at me then back at him. “Jake here was my best friend when we were human.” Audrey gasped her hand covering her mouth. I started to remember again. That shaggy light brown hair that was always by my side. Those dark brown eyes always searching my face for any sign of a lie. “Ho-how do you know?” Audrey could barely speak. “I’m a werewolf too.” Cameron said sneaking closer to her. She tried to back away but he was quicker than her. I got in between the two, protecting Audrey behind my back. “How come I can’t smell it on you?” I snarled to him. “Ahh the amazing things you’re gifts can do.” He said smiling devilishly. “What do you want?” I snarled louder. “Her.” He said pointing to Audrey who was still behind me. “You can’t have her. She’s my mate.” I said in a superior tone. “I don’t care. She should be mine.” He said. “Why do you want her so bad? I mean she isn’t even your mate. What makes her so special?” I asked. I felt Audrey smack me on the back. “Well I know what I mean to you!” she screamed. Cameron and I ignored her. “Well for one, look at her. She’s the most beautiful thing in the world,” I growled when he said that, “And she has something I want.” He said. “What’s that?” I asked. “Her gift.” He said simply. “Gift? I don’t have a gift. What the hell is he talking about?” I heard Audrey say into my mind. I ignored her again. “I’ll kill you before you lay a finger on her.” I threatened. “We’ll see.” Cameron said and then disappeared.
I looked to Audrey. “Come on let’s get you home.” I said. “What did he mean? I don’t have a gift. What’s going on Jake?” she asked. “I’ll explain later.” I said picking her up bridal style effectively shutting her up.

I put Audrey down when we got to her house. “What did he mean my gift? I don’t have a gift? Jake answer me!” she exclaimed. I look at her, then look away. She came closer to me and wrapped her arms around me. “Please tell me.” She whispered to me. I sigh looking down at her. “You do have a gift, I think. I don’t know what it is but I can tell you have one.” I said. She looked a little shocked. “How do I figure out what it is?” she asked me in a quiet voice. “Concentrate on something, almost like you would to read my mind. Okay?” I said. She does. She stood there for a few minutes. Then I felt nothing. I heard nothing, saw nothing. I don’t know how long that lasted but it felt like a long time. Then someone touched me and I could immediately see, hear, and feel again. It was Audrey who had touched me. “How the hell did I do this?!” she screamed to me. “What did you do?” I asked. “I froze you…I froze time. Then when I touched you, you came back. But everything is still frozen…” she said. “You’re a time stopper. And when you touch someone you
