past the point of no return [no backward glances]
»Point of no return
She knows better than to phase when she's upset. Hell, she knew that after the first time she phased. It wasn't easy being the only female in pack of all males. (All males she grew up with.) After a while she stopped phasing period, only doing so for patrol or pack meetings when her brothers were too lazy to speak aloud. Sometimes she phased to check on Seth, but they seemed to be pretty decent with the cell phones now and he respected her privacy.
With the idea of slaughter still fresh in her mind, she walked into the woods and sat down with her back pressed against a tree. She wasn't going to phase, not right now, not until she was far enough away that no one would hear her and even then...
She knew she was right. She knew it so she wasn't going to back down, even if it meant fighting with Jacob. They fought enough that she knew it would take some time and they'd both get over it. She was just going to give him longer than usual. She week long sabbatical was only a week long because she constantly worried about Seth.
So what if the Cullens were "tame", that was her little brother -- a werewolf surrounded by vampires. She couldn't help but worry, it was as second nature to her as breathing, just part and parcel of being the gangly little goofball's big sister.
Leaning her head back, she closed her eyes, grateful for the constant rain on the Peninsula. Lean didn't back down, and she didn't cry.
