Chapter 1

Hey, everybody! I'm so glad that you guys are checking out my story, the sequel to "Missing pieces", "Intertwined Paths". Anyway, I hope you enjoy it and like it as much as the first one

**This story takes places a year after the end of MISSING PIECES.

**I'm going to be changing POVs in the chapters, from Lily to my new characters, who you will later on meet.

LILY

"Seth, honey, could you please come and help me?" I said as I tried to understand why Og Mandino had used himself as the main character in of his books. I was sitting at the table with all of my books and laptop sprawled everywhere.

"What is it, Lils?" he came to sit at my side

"Can you help me?" I pouted as he picked up the book and flipped through a few pages

"Sure, what do you want me to do?"

"Can you type while I dictate to you? My fingers are cramping" I stretched out my hands in front of me. I needed to write this ten-page essay for tomorrow and it was 8 pm already

"Ok" he pulled the computer to himself as I began talking

"You know what? Why don't you get us some food and coffee and I'll type this, ok?" he took the paper from my hands and got to work

"Oh, you are my savior, Seth. I will be forever in your debt" I grabbed his face between my hands and kissed him deeply, he moaned lowly.

That spark between was still very much alive and our bond was even stronger than before. We barely saw each other except when we came home, because school always kept us busy and separated. Seth was studying to be a nutritionist and was also working at the local gym as a trainer and I had changed my concentration from biology to editing; I wanted to be a publisher and I also, worked at a local dance studio.

Seth was a hopeless romantic, always leaving me little notes or a single flower next to me on bed for when I woke up.

He put his hands on the small of my back and pulled me, so that I was sitting on his lap. He deepened the kiss by sliding his tongue into my mouth; I pulled away when I lost my breath.

"So, how about that coffee?" I asked with my forehead against his and my eyes closed

"I think this is so much better" he whispered as he began to kiss me again. I pulled away as his lips touched mine, I couldn't afford not to finish this essay.

"Seth…" I looked at him until he opened his eyes again.

"Fine…but I will get you tomorrow" he said as he let go of me and I dashed into the kitchen. Tomorrow was the first day that neither of us had to work and we had no homework or anything for the weekend; and so it would be Lily/Seth time.

Finally I had finished the stupid essay and I even added two more pages. It was now 11pm and Seth was already sleeping, his head resting against my shoulder. I re-read the essay to check it for errors and sent the document to my professor via e-mail. One of the many things I loved about college was the fact that you could either send the projects and whatnot via e-mail or you could hand it in personally.

"Seth? Honey, wake up, let's go to bed" I nudged him as he slowly opened his eyes.

He smiled "I love waking up with you by my side" he said as he passed his hand through his shaggy, messy, overgrown hair; I loved it

"You are just too cute, Seth" I kissed his nose and helped him to our room.

I left him on the bed and then went back to the table to clean everything up. I found my phone vibrating to a text message, it was from Sam. I prayed for it not to be a patrol call or a meeting.

We've got a new member

Just saying

--Sam

We still kept welcoming new wolves into the pack. So far, we had 14 members in the pack, 15 with the new one. Two more girls had joined, Megan and Danielle, they were both very nice girls, both 17 years of age. Megan had been imprinted on before she phased for the first time, by Ian, who only joined us a couple of months ago. Every single one of them though they were going mad when they phased for the first time, but luckily, they had us, comforting and helping them through out the whole thing.

I took all of the empty cups of coffee and dumped them on the sink to wash them. Coffee had become my constant companion during school nights, along with Seth, who waited for me to go to bed with him.

Half an hour later, I went to our room and went into the bathroom to take a cold shower. I left the door open to the bedroom because I felt safer knowing I had Seth so close. I got in and let the cold water refresh my too hot body; my whole body was cramping. Pulling all-nighters in front of a computer and dancing every other night had my back completely messed up and sore.

I felt strong, masculine hands beginning to massage my neck; I closed my eyes and moved my head back.

"Mmm, what are you doing here? Weren't you sleeping?" I said as I moved my head in circles

"Yes, but I saw my beautiful, amazing wife in pain and I just had to make it all better" Seth whispered, his breath on my neck

I laughed as he began to kiss my neck. I turned around and put my hands on his sculpted chest and began to kiss him. He pinned me against the corner of the shower, the cold water raining over us and his naked body against mine.

"Seth…stop…please" I pushed him away, knowing that if we continued we would pull an all-nighter again and we would be late for school tomorrow, like Tuesday.

"Why?...come on, please?" he looked at me with those chocolate brown eyes, that I couldn't resist.

"Seth…"

"Please, Lily? I want you, it has been too long" he whined as he kissed my neck

"Seth, it has only been two days!" he began to nibble on my ear

"And I want you too" I grabbed his face and kissed him seductively

He reached behind me and turned off the water; he picked me up bridal style and carried me to our room, our lips still connected

He dumped me on the bed and continued kissing me; morning being the last thing on both our minds.

My alarm clock woke me up at 7:30 am in the morning. I felt like I had only gotten a few minutes of sleep. I pulled the sheets up to my chest to cover myself up as I blocked the sun coming through the balcony door with my hand. I saw a card on the nightstand and I couldn't help but smile as I extended my hand to grab it.

Last night was amazing

I love you so much

Can't wait for our quality time tonight

Love you with all my heart

--Seth

Last night HAD been amazing and I couldn't help but blush at the thought of it.

I dashed quickly into the shower because I had to wash my hair yet again, since last night's plans had been changed for me.

I searched in the closet for something to wear and I found nothing; in the corner of the closet was a pile of my clothes, I needed to do the laundry this weekend.

I grabbed Seth's deep blue shirt, the one he had worn yesterday, and slipped it over my head; it was enormous on me. I put on some leggings since the shirt only covered until my thighs and put on a belt around my waist to make it look more fitted. The shirt still smelled like him: a combination of pepper and ginger.

I grabbed a cup of coffee and drank it fast. I took my jacket/coat and my bag, got in my beautiful Mustang and drove to the school; class started in ten minutes and I had to get to school, park the car and practically run to class.

I'm going to give you all of the ages, just so you won't be confused!
