Riley Swan has no idea what was coming for her in this new town with her sister, she just knew that Bella has made a promise to protect her, and then they ended up surrounded by the supernatural...
"Oh God, you stink" Jake wafted his hand in front of his face, Athena and Riley had just returned home, where Jake was going to take them over to Emily's so they could introduce Athena to everyone. "Please shower before we go"
"You'll get over it" Athena resorted, dragging Riley towards his truck, pushing Riley in first so she could be closer to the personal space heater.
"Did you have fun then?" Jake teased Athena, as she jumped in beside Riley with an agitated look on her face. "Aren't you just a ray of sunshine"
"Shut up" Athena hissed, shoving her bag down before placing her head on Riley's shoulder. "I need coffee, and I was just in a house full of blood suckers, so could you not"
"We had to dress fancy as well" Riley added on a complaint, glancing down at the flowery dress she had on. "And it's freezing cold outside, and I still had to wear a dress"
"I'm sure Paul would love to warm you up" Jake resorted, his nose twitching slightly. "If he doesn't blow up when he smells leech on you"
"For the last time" Riley dragged her sentence out with a whine, "stop calling them leeches! They are good people!"
"I'm surprised you haven't asked about Bella yet" Athena noted, sensing a change in his aura, before her eyes widened in realisation. "You imprinted!"
"Really?!" Riley added on to the excitement, grinning at him expectingly, Jacob's mum—Sarah— had told her all the legends, not forgetting about how she had a book about it and everything.
She just didn't know she had been imprinted on.
"What's her name?" Athena quizzed, wanting answering so she could possibly stalk any social media she may have.
"No, weren't not doing this" Jake told them strictly.

By the time they arrived at Emily's, Athena and Riley knew everything about the girl that Jake knew, he couldn't help but tell his closest friends as he knew they wouldn't tease him or embarrass him.
The rest of the pack didn't even know that he had imprinted, they just thought that he had grown up from the crush he once had on Bella.
"It's weird that she's a Scorpio, considering she acts the complete opposite" Athena notes down, as they finally are getting out of the truck, Athena closing the door once Riley had crawled out like a hyper child.
"Enough about her, let's go introduce you to everyone!" Riley cheered, grabbing Jake and Athena's hands before she started to drag them along, toward the house.
The house was busy as usual, the whole pack eating all of Emily's delicious food at the round table, but it seemed to had grown in size since last time she was there, and it had only been around a week or two.
"Okay, Athena, I'll point everyone out" Riley informed the older girl, who had everyone's eyes on her. "Emily and Sam—pack leader and his imprint slash best women ever, you have Seth and Leah Clearwater—the ones I told you about, that's Jared, the one who thinks he can flirt. Embry, total sweetheart when he wants to be. You know Jake and Paul. Oh! And Quil!"
Athena sent the room a small wave, Jared had a look of confusion on his face from Riley's chatter, Emily was in awe, Embry was blushing. Seth was smiling, while Leah practically hid in the corner.
"Everyone, this is Athena" Riley returned, "my cousin and a witch, I guess"
"Can I eat now? More important things" Jake teased behind the girls, Riley still holding his hand, which Paul had his eyes on the whole time.
"Jake Black, go back to drooling at the wall" Athena lifted her hand and slapped the back of his head, Riley ducking as she let go of both of their hands.
"Come over and eat, the boys can move" Emily offered sweetly, Jared frowning again before Emily walked him with a tea towel, which caused him to rush out of the way with a Yelp. "There, Athena"
Athena sat down and quickly grabbed a muffin that had looked nice, Riley walked over to the table and looked around at where to sit, only for Paul to grab her waist and drag her into his lap, causing sparks to fly where he touched her.
"I'm too hungry to bother with kicking your arse right now, Lahote" Athena mused, dusting her hands off as she moved on to her second muffin. "Still magically drained from kicking Emmett's butt"
"You beat up Emmett? I thought he was supposed to cheer you up" Riley's spoke softly, with a hint of confusion, Paul's hands still wrapped around her waist as she leaned against his chest comfortably.
"He offered for me to release my anger out on him, so I wouldn't end up killing Edward" Athena snorted in amusement, Riley's eyes widening.
"You smell like them" Paul whispered into her neck, as he placed his head onto her shoulder, nuzzling softly.
"Sorry, I'll shower next time" Riley promised with a grin.
