Embry's point of view
I was at a club with my best friend Quil. I was trying to have sfun and have my wingman just like the old days. I missed the past; the past without phasing, patrolling and all the imprinting. I haven't imprinted yet and I don't know if I ever will or if I want to.

Quil's face got serious suddenly as he read a text. I caught his sudden change in demeanor.

"What's up?" I asked puzzled. He just shook his head before downing a shot.

"Leah." He sighed before ordering another shot of whisky. My heart dropped knowing she hasn't been well lately. None of the pack or council knows what to do. Imprinting has hurt Leah enough and now she was just downward spiraling. I used to have feelings for Leah but I would never admit it to anyone. Hell she would probably cut off my balls and shove them down my throat.

"What's wrong with Lee?" I asked a little too quickly but I was sincerely worried.

"Sue and Seth are worried sick. Seth says she barley comes home at all and when she does she is wasted or all drugged up. They don't know what she is doing or taking or who she is with. She hasn't patrolled unless Jake alpha commands her. But when she does show up she is fucked up. Sue is worried out of her mind and no one knows what to do." Quil explained frowning.

He was a part of Jake's pack just like Leah and I was in Sam's. I knew some of this information but I didn't know how severe and dangerous it was.

"She left the house and they don't know where she is now. Sue is worried again. Seth and Jake are looking for her." Quil described hastily.

"You should go home. Check on Claire, help Jake and Seth." I responded knowing it was useless to party now.
"No. You asked me to hang tonight and I'm not bailing on you again." Quil said shaking his head stubbornly.

"It's fine. I am not in a party mood now so it's pointless for you to stay. They need your help finding Leah and you miss your imprint. I'll try to see if I can find her at a club or something, if she is out drinking." I shrugged roughly.

"Okay, I swear we are going to have a guy's night soon. Just like the old days." Quil piped up. I chuckled but nodded smacking him on the back he then left. I looked around frowning that my night completely changed. I decided to walk around Seattle for a while since that's where I was. I wasn't expecting to find Leah but I did.

She was a mess; her hair was messy, her dress was super short and rising up and she couldn't walk straight. It takes a lot for werewolves to get drunk. I could drink twice or more than the average guy before I actually felt a buzz. She was still gorgeous though.

The worst thing was there were two douche bags touching her and trying to get her to come with them. She wasn't putting up a fight so I decided to fight for her.

"Get the fuck away from her!" I snapped as I tore their hands off Leah.

"Hey she isn't yours! She was fine with going with us!" One of the dicks slurred.

"Embry go away I can handle it." She spat drunk. One of the guys came up behind her holding her close.

"You got two seconds to get off of her fucker." I threatened feeling my adrenaline pump.

"She isn't yours. She is a fucking dirty slut who wants a fuck. I'm going to fuck her hard." The dick slurred wickedly.

The guy gripped Leah's face harshly then pushed Leah making her fall onto the cold concrete. My blood was boiling; I hit him in the jaw as hard as I could but I wasn't prepared for the other guy to fight me too. He slugged me in the stomach pretty hard but I was stronger. I fought them both while other strangers gathered around shocked. I pinned the one guy to the ground and kept hitting him. Blood was everywhere.

I wasn't planning on stopping till I heard a small whimper.

I instantly got off of him and approached Leah. She was sitting on the concrete looking scared and helpless which was not like her. Her eyes were bloodshot and red so I knew she wasn't just drinking but she was also taking drugs. I turned around and saw the guys ran away. I heard sirens so I picked Leah up and walked away as quickly as I could.

We reached my truck and I placed her in the front seat with her seatbelt.
"Did they hurt you?" I asked softly. She just shook her head no. I texted Jake saying Leah was with me and I was going to take care of her for tonight.

I drove out of Seattle and towards La push. I had to stop along the way a couple times because Leah actually did throw up. I held her hair back each time and would support her. Once we got near La Push I drove into the woods.

"Where are we?" Leah's voice croaked. I looked at her gently. Her body temperature was burning off the drugs and alcohol at a rapid speed.

"The woods, I though you could be safe here unless you want to go home." I smiled gently at her. I knew she didn't want to face her mom or brother in this condition.

"No, I can't with my mom or Seth. I just cant." She cried rubbing her eyes. I approached her softly and wiped away her tears with my thumbs. I then held out my hand to help her out of the truck. I then helped her into the bed of the truck. I had extra blankets which I laid out. I took off my black dress shirt wrapping it around her shoulders. She didn't fight me.

I lay down next to her under a light blanket. She actually cuddled into me and then I knew I was fucked. I already had feelings for her and I was having trouble hiding them.

She started kissing my neck and jaw. My eyes widened and I tensed up. She then straddled me.

"Fuck me Embry." She begged seductively into my ear. I groaned completely torn. This was like a dream come true but I didn't want it to happen like this. This wasn't right. Her emotions were all over the place.

"No." I groaned lifting her off of me. I was trying to be a good guy but she wasn't having that.

"Why don't you want me?" She pouted angrily. I knew the alcohol and drugs were wearing off but she was still messed up by them. I wouldn't take advantage of her.

"Leah, you're stunning and sexy of course I do. Any guy would be stupid not to. You took some drugs and drank so you're messed up right now. I will not do this to you. Just stay with me tonight and we'll talk about everything in the morning. Please Leah." I asked gently. She pouted but nodded cuddling into me again.

"You're safe with me." I promised. We drifted asleep with her in my arms.

It was a special spot in the forest which would intertwine our lives together. I just didn't know it yet.
