~Chapter One~

Embry POV

My life could be summed up in one word, great. I had a beautiful naked chick next to me who just gave me great sex the night before, I had a job that paid whatever I needed and my mum was one of the best cooks in the world so I was being well fed. I was renting the house out behind her and we just left the gate open so she could see me whenever she wanted and that I could run off in the woods behind the house when I needed. Sure my life had complications like me being a wolf and having to run patrols but it gave me a fit body that reeled in the ladies, along with the sex.

This is what I told myself every day, I forced myself to accept that I was happy. I had a good life so why did I have that stupid empty feeling inside me. I was an eighteen year old guy with everything you need in life, money, food and sex; so what was my problem.

"Hello gorgeous" Britney said from next to me, leaning up and kissing my chest. I had my hands folded behind my head, staring at the ceiling. "You are one amazing guy you know that" She said, kissing her way down. Oh great, she wants morning after sex to, no way.

"Look I have to go to work so I'll call you okay" I said, sliding out of the bed and pulling on some grey trackies. She pouted and I gave her a fake smile.

"Okay, well call me anytime, I'd love to do this again, definitely" She said, licking her lips before changing into her clothes that were thrown all over my floor. Once she was changed I let her out the side gate and she went off and got in her shitty ass car. I walked through the front door and smelt mum cooking eggs, yum.

"Morning mum" I said, kissing her cheek before going to the fridge and grabbing some Orange juice.

"Morning sweetie" She smiled, placing a plate in front of me. I didn't know who my father was, I mean it's not like I didn't want to know but I don't think I really cared I mean I had three possible fathers. Sam's dad who is a complete ass, Jacob's dad who is pretty much the only father figure I've ever had and Quil's dad who is just well weird. Mum says she was happy for just having me so I don't ever want to disappoint her. "So you'll never guess who called me last night..." Mum began but I noticed the time.

"Crap, Sam's gunna kill me, sorry mum but I gotta run, I'm late, continue this later yeah" I said, shovelling the rest of the food down and kissing her cheek before running out to my motorbike. I jumped on and pulled on the shirt that was hanging on the porch before speeding off. If I'm late again he'll double my patrols. I parked out back and bolted through the door, the bell dinging dangerously as it hit the wall.

"Just made it" Jake smiled, leaning against the counter.

"Great" I said, knuckling his fist before heading out back. "So what have we got today" I asked as Jake followed me.

"Guy just brought in a 1967 Dodge Charger" Jake said and I heard the smile in his voice.

"Nice" I smiled.

"Pretty wrecked up but he wants it all done up and new paint job" He said excitedly. So that's what we did, we got started, fixing what was needed which was a messy job, we got a fair bit done when it was almost time for us to go. I wiped my face with the rag and went to answer the front desk. I walked around the corner and there was a guy with his back to me. He was pretty big and had the skin and dark hair from around here but I didn't know who it was.

"Sup man" I said and he turned around.

"Embry, man you've filled out as well aye" The guy smiled, he did look familiar in the face.

"Do I know...Zack" I said and he smirked.

"Missed you to bro" He laughed. Zack was like a brother to me even though he's a year older.

"Haven't seen you in like two years man, how have you been" I said, hugging him. Same size as me, holy shit I wonder if he'll phase too.

"I've been heaps good man, lot of changes but missed this place like crazy, what about you huh, all working and stuff" He said, looking me up and down in approval.

"Yeah well had to get some cash right, life's pretty good, so what are you doing here" I asked.

"Decided we missed this place to much so were gunna stay here for a month or two" He shrugged.

"We as in" I asked, confused.

"Me and mum got here the smorning" He said and I nodded.

"That's great, can't believe youse are here" I said, smiling.

"Holy shit, Zack Brooks is that you" Jake said coming from out back and pulled him into a hug. "How are you man" He laughed.

Zack stayed while we locked up and then we headed over to Emily and Sam's where everyone was having a few drinks and some dinner. We stayed out till pretty late, just us guys talking and catching up, mum and Laura (Zack's mum) went home earlier since it was pretty late. Turns out Zack had been a wolf for a while and he had a mate where they lived just like him. I got a text from Jessica Stanley saying she was in my bed with no clothes on and I was in the mood for some celebration sex so I called it a night and went home to find her waiting and ready.
