“Jessie, what did you mean by…” She averted her gaze like a guilty child. “Baby girl, I am waiting, and you know I don't like lies.” She shakes her head, “I know. Mickie gently lifted her chin with his finger, saying, "It's just..." She gazed into his eyes, a flicker of concern reflected in them. Spit it out." She averted her gaze, "I witnessed your transformation into a wolf, I am aware of your lycanthropic nature. Your wolf, he's magnificent, a beauty…” She was trailing off, going on about Dean. He walked around with his chest puffed. 'That's my dog.' 'Dean, she caught us.' he sighed, 'Well, she would've discovered it eventually.' 'When did you…' Why …”
She was beaming. I used the masking plant that you showed me, and I always go running with you. It's so awesome. "I used to lag, but I motivated myself..." Mickie frowned, meeting her gaze, "...And now..." "Join me for a jog, and I'll demonstrate." He tilted his head, observing her. Dean responded, saying 'Ok, let's go.' She smiled and did her happy dance. Mickie chuckled, instructing, "Meet me in the backyard." Nodding, she left the room.
Later, Mickie was amazed how she could match his pace. Dean thoroughly enjoyed their jog.

The following day, Jessie suddenly sensed an urgent need to be elsewhere as she roamed the school corridor. She quickened her pace to exit the school and head towards the woods. "What's happening to me?" With urgent unexplainable drive, she sprinted through the woods. She arrived at a clearing by the stream, it was a m******e. She witnessed him being assaulted by several pale-skinned individuals amidst the ongoing altercation. Before she could register, she was fighting by his side. She fought effortlessly, swiftly taking down multiple foes with her expertly honed skills.
Rex was amazed by his mate's fighting skills. While preoccupied with her, he failed to notice someone wielding a silver dagger from behind. He was shocked by the piercing scream from behind— he caught sight of the vampire, missing a hand, as he looked back. She decapitated him and winked, saying, 'Stay focused or lose your life.'
An hour later, the battle ended. Lucas transformed into his human form after falling. She rushed to him, "Are you okay?" He gazed at her, gently caressing her face. She lowered her head to hear what he was saying. When she was close, he kissed her. They succumbed to their desire, consumed by their own reality. Not noticing others had arrived.
