Jade POV

"What do you mean there is an army of vampires coming here?" I asked with venom in my voice. It has been over a week since the pack found out about me and the girls, and a week since I found out about the pack. Which also led to me finding out about vampires and that Bella Swan, a girl which I didn't like as a child, was dating one of them. And that my stupid twin brother is in love with her.

"I mean that the army of vampires are coming here for Bella," Jake replied. I saw that his muscles were tightened up, and it looked like he was about to phase. "Sam, we need to help them."

"Help them? Or her?" I asked as I sat on Paul's lap. He has a very comfortable lap, even though I can feel his popsicle poking me in the backside. "Jacob can't you see that this girl is using you? Do you really think she actually loves you?"

"Yes!" Jake replied instantly making me groan as Paul massaged my shoulders.

"Then you are delusional, and there is no way in Hell, that I am helping that selfish manipulator," I say before getting up from my comfortable spot and walking out of the house. I walked through the forest during the night and ended up seating at the beach.

"You really need to stop leaving like that," I hear Paul say behind me, making me smile that he cared to follow me.

"It calms me down," I reply as I look out towards the sea whilst Paul comes closer and sits down next to me.

A silence passes over us as we watch the waves come and go.

"What are you thinking about in that head of yours?" Paul asked, breaking the comfortable silence.

"How everything was easier back in Gold Coast," I reply honestly. "There were no major secrets to hide, just our mermaid secret. There was no weird love triangle happening, no other supernatural mythical beings. Just us four girls. But now that I moved back here, everything changed. I suddenly not only have to look out for myself, but also for the pack and the Cullen's. Oh! And add Jake's love for that stupid doe eye girl with a thing for garlic haters."

Paul chuckled at my words as I finished my rambling. "I know how you feel. It is a lot to take in when you fall into this whole other world that you thought was just fiction. But it'll get better over time."

I turned my head towards him and giggled when I saw him looking at me. "You're staring again."

"Do you mind?"

I shook my head before leaning in and kissing him. I pulled back slightly but only to get pulled onto his lap again as he devoured my lips in a passionate and rough kiss. I moaned into the kiss when I felt him again.

We pulled away from each other to catch our breaths. I put my forehead against his as I inhaled his masculine scent.

"Tell me something to hold on to and never let go," I whisper.

Paul smiled at my words. "Let go."
