Chapter 1: Waiting

Embry POV

I sat on the makeshift bench by the beach. The log felt sturdy and offered me security even though I knew I could easily break it. It had been 17 long years since the Volturi showdown. Sam, Paul, Jarod, Quil, Collin, and Brady had all stopped phasing due to them finding their Soul Mates and wanting to age with them. I sighed heavily as reminisced and thought of all the good times we had. Jacob was at his home with Nessie. Now there is an interesting story. Nessie and Jake had gotten married when she turned eight. Needless to say when he first started oggling her when she was a teen Edward flipped out. He ended up throwing him out a window for his inappropriate thoughts. A smile crept slowly onto my face.

"Hey what are you smiling about? You look retarded." Of course Leah had to interrupt my alone time. I didn't mind of course we had all become very close. I noticed Seth behind her and gave them both a genuine smile.

"You know what I was thinking?" They both smiled at our traditional clubbing call.

"DON"T THINK DRINK!" We all yelled at once

………………………………………………………………………………………………

The lights pulsed around us and bodies swayed in a loose rhythm. Seth was getting grinded by some hot little blonde. He caught my eye and I gave him a wink. He blushed slightly and continued to dance with her. I was wearing a muscle shirt and tight black jeans. Leah was across the room downing shots. Looks like it's gonna be another one of those nights… Leah had eventually gotten over Sam. What she didn't get over was her inability to imprint or have children. That truly saddened me. She deserved happiness.

I decided to play the best friend card and detached myself from the circle of women that had caged around me. I didn't sleep with any of them, but hell why not make out with em'? I made my way to Leah and patted her on the back.

"How is the party life treating you?" I questioned as I took the stool next to her.

"Not so bad, what about you?"

I grinned a bit as I replied "I just came here to get shit-faced"

With that she passed me the bottle she had and I filled a 10 shot glass row. I quickly formed another.

"Lets play speed!" I announced in my excited voice. Leah just grinned and nodded. We both picked up and a glass looked at each other than toasted and pounded down the shot. The race was on. I grabbed my next one and slammed it back. Leah took her 2nd and 3rd glasses and took them both at the same time. Damn she can drink! I cannon-balled the next 5 without stopping for air and I was a shot ahead. A wave of nausea hit me and I faltered a bit and slowed. Leah took the opportunity and raced ahead and finished as I just swallowed my 9th shot. SHIT I'm never gonna hear the end of it…

"FUCK YEAH!" Leah screamed her victory cry and the small crowd gathered around us cheered. I blushed and pulled a Wayne's World on her. I started bowing and yelling.

"We're not worthy! We're not worthy!"

"Damn straight you are not, now where is my dork of a brother?" I looked around for Seth and saw him being led by the blonde. I waved and pointed him out to Leah. She waved sadly and turned back to me.

"How is my little brother hooking up and you are not?" I shrugged and replied.

"I could if I wanted to, I just don't want to..." Leah never judged me. In fact she thought I was doing the right thing. She never wanted to see someone imprint and break there ex like she had been. Leah thought it was impossible for her to imprint and banged every decent guy she laid eyes on. Good for her, at least she found some happiness and isn't totally depressed.

"Well Leah I'm going to call it early I feel like shit" She pulled me in for a hug and I returned it. I paid my tab and then left. I stumbled through the woods not wanting to phase. Maybe I should have stayed and let Leah drive me back. Whatever…

My headache got worse…damn I was a real wimp just 10 shots was putting me down.

I kept walking, and saw a cave. Close enough to home. I thought bitterly. I was living on my own now. I had a full-time job fixing cars at my own shop. As a gift for helping the Cullens fight the newborns and the Volturi they had given me $200,000. It was nice it helped me put some money down on the house and the shop. I paid the bills with the money I earned from repairing the cars and restoring classics. I stripped down and wobbled heavily as I prepared to phase. In a flash I was in the fur. I laid down on my stomach and soon drifted asleep.

Authors Note: ok so feed back is vital, tell me what you really think I'm not going to get pissed at you lol. Ok so I guess I'm going to clear some things up. All the imprints and imprintees are married. Seth and Leah live together away from their mother Sue. Embry lives by himself but is neighbors to Leah and Seth. Jacob is sort of detached from the pack but not really. He is just occupied with Nessie. So Leah, Seth, Embry, and Jacob ARE the last four were-wolves left.
