Sneak Peak of Ch. 26

Here is a sneak peak of Ch. 26, which will be up later tonight, or tomorrow unless I fail at life again.

Lily POV at a Pack Function!

"Hello Jacob, I'm Lily. It's nice to meet you." I said politely, shaking the burning hot hand of the tall man in front of me.

"Hey Lily, it's nice to meet you too." He said just as politely as he solemnly shook my hand before grinning at me. "This is my girl Cody by the way."

I turned slightly and looked at a woman that was a year or so younger than me, a few inches shorter, but as pretty of a girl that you could meet. She had brown hair that was streaked with gold, a striking face, accented by wide eyes and pouty lips, but with an open and friendly air about her.

"Hey Lily. Nice to meet you too." Cody said, her voice a little deeper than I expected.

Paul drew Jake's attention away asking him about something they were working on, and when Jake replied he popped the 'p' sound whenever it could be applied to a word.

I was saved from saying something as Leah walked in the door and without a word to anyone else started dragging me and Cody off to the opposite side of the room, leaving Creed to fend for himself.

"No offense or anything, but does Jake have a speech problem? Or does he pop the 'p's' to be cool. I'm not gonna lie it's kind of annoying." I said in a normal tone of voice, not realizing that along with catching Leah and Cody's attention, every wolf present would turn to look at me.

Jake smirked, "Nope" he said deliberately popping the 'p', "I do it to be cool, it started because it was annoying and now it's just habit. Gotta problem with it?" He growled a little at me.

I shook my head quickly, my hair whipping back and forth, "Not at all Mr. Alpha. You keep popping those 'p's' to your hearts content!" Jesus Christ, I forgot about the whole super hearing, of course I would completely embarrass myself like that in front of a bunch of people that I didn't even know.

Leah just laughed, finally calming down enough to tell me not to worry about it, Cody nodding in agreement between her own giggles. Leah then launched into a story about some dumb girl named Bella Swan, who surprisingly never came up in any of our other talks, but this was due to me not being in on the whole wolf secret yet.

Bella apparently is a vampire, who seemingly has the perfect husband, the perfect daughter, although I thought she had the worlds stupidest name, and honestly some people just shouldn't be allowed to name their own kids, and the perfect after-life. After Leah finished her story, which was brought on by the fact that Bella had called Jake for something or other, she asked what I thought about it.

"She seems like a whiny bitch to me." Again looks of shock were sent my way, Leah and Cody laughing hysterically, yet both appeared to be in complete agreement. I turned and found Paul who was simply shaking his head in resignation.
