Embry/Paul
Paul and Jacob were shouting at each other and Embry stood watching, feeling helpless. He had stopped hanging out with Jake and Quil when he became a wolf only to start hanging out with Sam, Jared, and Paul. Jake was pissed, thinking that Embry had been brainwashed by Sam and the others and his anger had only grown when he saw Embry kissing Paul.
Jake had immediately starting shouting and Paul had jumped to his imprint's defense. It hadn't helped when Jake had seen Embry's pack tattoo. He hated seeing his friends fight, even more so since it was a fight over him.
Jacob was still yelling, "What did you do? Threaten him? Threaten to hurt his mom if he didn't bend over for you?"
That one really hit Paul hard and he began trembling, looking as if he were about to phase any second, and Embry quickly moved to stand between him and Jacob, placing his hands on Paul's bare chest, "Hey, calm down. Its alright, Paul, really. Keep it together."
Paul closed his eyes and took several deep breaths before nodding, noticeably calmer, then looked over at Jacob, "I didn't do anything to hurt Em and I never will."
Embry turned to face Jacob and tried to calm him down, "Jake, please listen to me. I'm fine, really I am. Nothing is wrong."
Jake just seemed to get angrier, but instead of saying anything else he just threw his hands up and stormed off. Embry let out a heavy sigh, relieved that the shouting was over but worried that Jake would end up hating him even after he phased.
Just as that thought crossed his mind, Paul was hugging him from behind and pulling him to his chest, "Hey, don't think like that. He'll understand after he phases."
Embry smiled and laid his head back against Paul's shoulder, "I hope you're right."
"I know I am. You shouldn't have gotten so close before, pup. I could've hurt you."
He didn't move as Paul's arms tightened around him, "You said it yourself, you'd never hurt me."
