  Silence hung in the air. . .
      &quot;. . . You can't just say something like that and not follow up.&quot;
      I gave a dry laugh. &quot;Well, what is there to say?&quot;
      &quot;. . . Well. . . What was the dream about?&quot; He spoke quietly, trying not to wake anyone else.
      I looked at him blankly, &quot;Guess.&quot;
      He sighed and tried to pull me further into his chest, but I stopped him.
      It was my turn to sigh, &quot;You can't just do that. I'm using you as a human heater and that's all. Period.&quot;
      &quot;What if I wanna be more than just a human heater?&quot; He whispered.
      &quot;What if I don't wanna be in the middle of the woods being chased by hybrids with a mate that took over my house?&quot;
      Silence.
      &quot;Yeah, we don't always get what we want.&quot;
      He sighed. &quot;Why do you have to be so difficult?&quot;

  &quot;Well, look what we have here,&quot; A deep voice rang.
      &quot;What the h3ll?&quot; I grumbled, &quot;Wasn't someone supposed to be keeping watch?&quot;
      I glanced lazily at the rouge &quot;pack&quot; standing before us.
      &quot;I thought they were just passing through,&quot; Rose shrugged.
      I rolled my eyes.
      &quot;What?&quot; She held her hands up defensively, &quot;I forget werewolf wonderers are so much more salty than vampires,&quot; her nose scrunched up in distaste.
      I snorted, &quot;It's fine, we're getting up anyway.&quot; I forced myself up and out of Wolfie's comfortable arms and dusted myself off.
      &quot;What do y'all think you're doing in these woods? this is our territory,&quot; the rouge &quot;pack's&quot; leader growled.
      Little do they know it's actually the hybrids' territory and these little rouges just aren't big enough ga

  It's my turn to hide and Sophie's turn to seek.
      I giggled quietly as I climbed the tree as silently as I could to avoid Sophie, my favorite cousin/bestie (just don't tell Brandon and Rosy), hearing me from her counting place a few feet away.
      I'm a whole 4 months older than Sophie and an entire 3 inches taller, so there's no way my mear 7 and a quarter year old bestie can compete with my 7 and a half year old tree climbing skills. She won't even think to look up here for me.
      She was almost done counting to 25 when I heard some rustling in the opposite direction.
      I looked to see what animal it was, because something smelled a little funny, but she finished counting and all my attention went back to her.
      She walked right past me and I covered my mouth to hide my giggles.
      She kept looking. Picking things up and checking under them, and around bushes.
