A Twilight fanfiction novel - SheeWolf85

He led her down a sandy hill to the picnic tables and took some apple slices from a large fruit tray.
He offered one to her, and she took it.
“You weren’t joking about there being a ton of food. How many people are coming?” She looked
between the two tables; there had to be enough to feed fifty or sixty people comfortably.
“This is it. We’re the last ones to show up.”
She looked around. “Are you serious? There’s not even twenty people here.”
“We eat a lot.”
She snorted. “I guess.” She cleared her throat and realized how rude she sounded. “I’m sorry.”
He leaned down and kissed her. “You’re forgiven. Come meet the pack.” He cringed when he let
the word slip. “My friends, I mean.”
He took her near the fire where Quil was sitting with Claire and Billy. Quil stood up and smiled.
“Hey, Jake, you made it. I was beginning to wonder.”
“Mm-hmm. Quil, this is Ness, my girlfriend. Ness, that’s Quil, the one that made the dog tags.
That’s his fiancée, Claire, and this is my dad, Billy.”
Renesmee was a little taken aback at how much Quil looked like Jacob. There were differences, of
course. He wasn’t as tall, and his eyes were golden brown as opposed to ebony. His skin was just as
dark, though, and his hair black. She supposed that came from being a Native. She held out her
hand and was shocked when he was just as warm as Jacob. She looked up at Jacob and
remembered what he’d said about a few others having the same heat. She cleared her throat and
smiled. “It’s so nice to meet you all.” Billy winked at her when she shook his hand. She wasn’t sure
why she was surprised when he wasn’t warm like Jacob.
Claire smiled kindly. “I’ve heard so much about you, Ness. It’s nice to finally meet you.”
Renesmee smiled, but she was confused. She didn’t understand why Claire should hear so much
about her when she’d heard nothing about Claire. “Um . . . yeah, you too.” She didn’t know what
else to say. She felt out of place suddenly and shrank back against Jacob. He wrapped his arm
tightly around her. He could feel her discomfort and bent to kiss her head.
“How about I show you around? There’re more people to meet.”
She nodded and looked up at him. “I’d like that.”
He kissed her again and stepped back.
Claire looked up at Quil as the other two walked away. “Why doesn’t he just tell her?”
Quil smirked. “You spent your whole life growing up around our legends, Claire. You were somewhat
prepared. Can you imagine what it would have been like if you’d never heard one of our stories
before and I just came up and told you I’m a Shifter and you’re my soulmate?”
