A Mistake I Don't Regret

Jake's POV

A loud howl erupted from the quiet of the night. It was the signal for me to take my shift for patrols; I thought back and tried to remember who I had patrols with tonight. Hm…Friday…three in the morning, then it hit me, it was Jared. Great the only one who I didn't want patrols with, everyone else I was fine with. I know he was going to bother me for 5 entire hours about me not imprinting yet. I didn't even know if I could imprint or not, I liked guys now. I mean it wasn't just me who hasn't imprinted, there was Paul and Seth also. It just made everything more complicated for me, as if Bella wasn't bothering me enough. Running after that leech, when she could be here perfectly fine here with me. She kept using me for her own selfish needs, it made me hate girls. Was a gay werewolf even allowed to imprint? I grimaced at the thought of not being able to find a mate.

I sighed deeply and ran out the front door of my small little house, stripping my clothes off along the way. I tossed them to the side, too lazy to tie them around my leg. I closed my eyes, took a few breathes, and let the heat consume my entire body. I felt my spine, face, and limbs stretch. My phasing finished, and I ran towards the clearing that Sam had shown us through his thoughts.

Hey Jake, I'm runnin South and North, and you're runnin East and West tonight. I got close enough to hear Jared's thoughts. I didn't want to talk all that much, afraid that Jared would start up an imprinting conversation.

Right, see ya! I decided to run through the East of the rez first. Since more of the leech activity seemed to happen there. I ran through the forest dodging trees, while my paws hit the dirt floor. It was quiet like anything was going to happen.

Hey Jake? Jared interrupted my thoughts and I mentally sighed.

Yes Jared? What is it? I sighed once more and stopped running.

So when do you think you're gonna imprint? Jared's obnoxious voice said into my mind. No need for snark, Jake. I just wanna know. Like...What do you think she'll look like? How old do you think she'll be? Will she like you back? I didn't know if I was going tell him that I liked guys. He would either shut up like I wanted, or it would get worse. Ugh.

Just shut up, Jared. We're supposed to be patrolling, don't you remember? Idiot. I'm not talking about this. I sighed mentally once more. You'd think that the first sigh he would have taken the hint and shut up once in a while.

That got Jared to shut up. The patrol went fairly well for most of the time. Hey Jake. I'm gonna head back a little early and get some sleep. Kay?

Sure. Just get out of here already. He had almost restarted the whole imprint conversation again during the patrol but I got him to

Oh Jake, before I forget to tell you. There's gonna be a party in a few days and I wanted to know if you wanted to go? He phrased it so it sounded like a question. I sighed.

Where is it? I asked him.

It's was just a bit off the rez, a bar near downtown Forks, it was called Nocturne. He showed me in his mind's eye. The image was dark, and there was a little bar with bright neon lights outside that glowed a dark blue. Interesting enough, I decided it would be fun to get off the rez once in a while anyways.

So you gonna come or not? Jared questioned.

Yeah I guess. Jared's mind soon left me alone and I finished patrolling and I was about to phase back when I caught a whiff of something sweet. Too sweet. Vampire. My mind whispered. I ran as fast as I could to find the source of the scent. I was closing in on it and fast.

Soon I found it. It was a vampire for sure. I raced in howling. I knew that someone would hear me and know what was happening. I pushed forward off my hind paws and attacked the vamp. She turned and saw me at the last minute and sidestepped. Her arm shoved into my side pushing me far off course. I picked myself up off the forest floor, struggling. She smiled a creepy smile knowing she had hurt me. I pushed myself forward anyways, wanting to rip this bitch to shreds. She frowned and walked towards me.

"You can't win, why do you insist on trying?" She said her voice smug and laughed. As soon as I jumped at her, her arm extended and caught hold of one of my hind paws and she whipped me around and tossed me at a tree. I laid on the forest floor trying to get myself up but it was hard. I heard the tree behind me slowly creak, knew what was coming next. I couldn't move at all; the tree slammed down on my back. I could feel a bunch of my bones break and it was excruciating, I let out a loud howl. I tried to stand but fell back to the ground. I whimpered as the tree shifted its weight onto my torso. The vampire laughed and tossed her hand into the air, giving a smirk at the same time. I had lost.

"I told you. I always win." I watched as she walked towards me, my sight slowly becoming black. All of a sudden another wolf took her down and pinned her to the ground. She snarled and struggled but the one wolf was too hard to fight off. I could hear the metallic screech as she was torn apart and cast aside. The wolf phased back and walked up to me. They knelt down beside me, but not without lighting a match burned what was left of the female vamp first. I couldn't make out who it was as my sight faded into darkness.

Paul's POV

I heard a loud thud, it sounded like a tree crashing. Then immediately after I heard a loud howl, one of pain. I knew it was one of my pack members, so I got up from my bed and immediately ran towards my window. I opened it, and jumped out of it to phase. I guess I rushed a bit too much, because I accidentally banged my head against my window frame. I rubbed my forehead while running, and phased once the pain faded. The only thoughts I could hear was Jake's, so the howl must have been his. I ran towards what I saw in his mind. When I reached there I saw a girl vampire approaching Jake, who was pinned down by a massive tree. I did as my instincts told me and lunged forward. I caught her under my paws, and quickly ripped her into pieces. That was that, I pulled out a match and lit that bitch on fire.

I ran to Jake and move the tree off of him, a whimper escaped him. By the time I phased back to my human form still naked. Jacob was already unconscious, or dead. I didn't take any chances, I picked him up put him on my back, I held his legs and ran towards Sam's house. The fact that his junk was touching my waist didn't matter at the moment.

I got to Sam's house and kicked open the door, by now it was already around seven in the morning, and they were eating breakfast. I laid Jacob down on the living room floor, put my clothes on. I covered Jake with a blanket and looked up as I saw Emily and Sam run in.

"Paul, what happened?" Sam asked surprised at the unconscious body now laying in his living room.

"Leech, I took care of it" I assured him. Emily got on her knees and examined him.

" Quite a few ribs are broken, he's going to be in lots of pain when he gets up" she explained. Ouch, though I was glad he wasn't dead. I picked him bridal style, with the blanket still covering him and brought him to the extra room Emily made in case anyone wanted to stay over. I laid him on the bed, and Emily came from behind to cover him in the sheets. He looked so calm; he looked so vulnerable, so unprotected. Though he was probably in pain, he looked different. His wolf mood was always so serious, and his normal self was always so goofy. This side of him was cute, gentle, serene. Fuck, was this an…imprint? I had to go somewhere to think about this, anywhere but here. One part of me wanted to get up and leave, but the other wanted to stay here, with Jake. My Imprint. My other side seemed to win, I turned and left rushing past Emily and Sam who were both at the doorway.

I rushed down the stair and past the front door which was still open. I walked out and saw Seth running up the driveway.

"Hey Paul" I didn't respond, I was still do busying processing this. Seth had his hand up, and he slowly let it drop as I walked by him without saying a word. I headed towards home.

Seth's POV

What the? Why did Paul just completely ignore me? I know he was a jerk but, that was just rude. I sighed, and walked up into Sam's house. I came over to tell that we were celebrating Leah's birthday at our house. Leah refused having them over for reasons everyone knew, made me and her anyway. I didn't call cause I was also hungry, and Emily always had food ready for us.

"Hey guys" I said cheerily. They turned their heads from where they were standing.

"Leah's having her birthday tomorrow, I just came to tell you that you're invited" I informed them.

"Oh hey Seth." Something was up, he completely ignored what I said.

"Something wrong?" I asked curiously.

"Yeah sorta, Jake's got hurt by a vamp. He's upstairs if you wanna see him, don't wake him though" he quickly explained.

"What? Who saved him? How?" I asked a barrage of questions.

"Yeah, Paul got the leech, Jake must have been careless or something" he said.

Jacob was like my older brother, we were friends since we were kids, I wanted to see him now. I nodded my head and ran up the stairs.

I looked at Jake, he was laid down on the bed with the sheets covering him. I walked over to the bedside. Damn, I hated seeing my brother like this. I slightly moved the covers until it reached his abs, which was an eight-pack I might add; jealous mine was only six. I wanted to see where he was hurt, I counted 5 broken ribs. They moved up and down, while he breathed. He would be okay when he got up, but it would hurt like hell, when he breathed. I heard a quiet knock at the door.

"Seth, me and Sam gotta go shopping for Leah's birthday; mind watching Jake for us?" Emily said popping her head in the doorway.

"Sure thing" I turned back around and just sat on a chair I pulled close to Jacob's bed. After about half an hour, my stomach gave a slight growl. Jacob being hurt took my mind off my hunger. I got up and went downstairs to look for some food to eat. I looked in the fridge for something I could eat without Emily noticing when she got back. The fridge was full of food, but the only thing that caught my eyes was a plate with a tower of bacon on it. I could take one strip without her noticing right? I sat in the kitchen chewing off a few pieces, when I heard groans. Crap Jacob was awake. I dropped my bacon, and went back upstairs to find him shifting violently in the bed.

"Jake! Jake! Stop moving! Your ribs are broken" I wanted him to calm down.

"W-What h-happened?" Jacob said while struggling for more air. The broken ribs, made it that much harder for him to breath.

"You got attacked by a leech, but its dead now." I assured him. He took shorter breathes so that his ribs wouldn't move as much. He continued to stay silent.

"Jake just go to sleep, it's like nine, you'll be fine in the morning" I told him. His eyes closed, and in a few minutes, his breathing became even, and he fell asleep. I yawned, man it was still early, but I was tired. I rested my hands on the side of Jacob's bed and rested my hands on top of them. I also fell asleep quickly, I don't know how, the sheets smelt so badly. Like Jake's sweat.

Paul's POV

Shit it hurt, I never knew being away from an imprint so damn much. After sulking around my room for a while, I felt my heart pang. Jacob was not okay, he was probably in pain now. I didn't know what to do.

I gathered some stuff that I would need for the night, tossed them in a bag and left for Sam's once more.

This time I took my car, I was lucky the traffic on the rez was low. I swear I would have hit at least ten cars going the speed I was at. I got there in less than 5 minutes; they didn't live too far anyways. I was surprised as I entered, they weren't there. But it didn't matter I just wanted to see Jake. As I got in the room, I noticed someone sleeping on Jacob's bed side. I got really close to the person's head, since his face was nuzzled in his arms. It was Seth, it sorta hurt that it wasn't me sleeping there beside Jake, but I understood that they were best friends, so I let it slide just this time. I pulled up a chair in the corner of the room and slept there. I would talk to Jake first thing in the morning.

I hope you enjoyed it! Every single review brings a smile to my face! Really! So tell me what you thought about it!
