Jared pov:
"I'm sorry Jared."
Kim whispered to me as she slipped her wedding ring onto the palm of my hand, using hers to close mine around the ring. I fought the tears as much as I could. Kim is my every thing she's all I know.
I watched as she took a step closer to me, using her hands to cup my face. She kissed my lips lightly and through the heat from my skin I could feel the cold tears on her cheeks. She took a step back and I fought hard not to phase, the anger and depression building in me. She took more steps and disappeared into the woods.
She left me standing there at the top cliff in La Push, as she walked away I could feel my pull to her weaken. My imprint left me and I was left to find my way back alone.
A deep growl rumbled in my chest. I tucked the ring in a safe place at the cliffs before I ran into the woods, finally able the phase. I let out a loud and pain filled howl as my front paws hit the ground. Shreds of my shorts falling to the ground behind me, I shook my head and ran unable to hold back another hurt howl.
"Jared? Yo bro you alright?" I heard Seth say to me. I was so caught up with what had just happened I forgot the pack could get into my mind so easily.
"No man, I'll be at your place in a bit." Saying that as calmly as I could I ran to the Clearwater home.
Knowing Seth or anyone else could be phased I did my best keeping my mind off Kim. Instead I kept running over lyrics to songs as I ran as fast as I could to their home.
When I got there Seth was outside lying on the lawn. I walked over to him still in wolf form and huffed. His eyes shot open as if he didn't know I was there.
"What's up bro?" I rolled my eyes slightly. "Oh right…"
He scrambled to get up and ran inside getting me a spare pare of shorts. I took a few steps back, not to dig my paws in their lawn. He came out and I took the shorts in my mouth. Running back into the woods far enough to phase back and pull them on. I walked out scratching the back of my head, finally having my mind to myself again.
Seth waited for me to make my way up to him. I guess he couldn't read something was wrong or he could tell I didn't want to talk about it. Either way he kept asking me what I was up to. I looked at him and smiled, unable to be mad at the kid I put him in a headlock and rubbed my knuckles against his head, chuckling.
"Is Lee home, I need to talk to her." I asked, seeing as she was about the only other girl I've talked to lately.
"Yeah man she's sleeping." He shoved me off of him and ran his hand through his short hair like he was fixing it.
"Bet she'd be pissed if I woke her up." I smirked to myself, messing with Lee was like a hobby of mine, she wasn't my sister really but being a part of the pack she was the closest thing to a sibling I have. "Yeah, she just got home from patrol. Who knows if you'll even be able to."
"Well no use in whining about it" I laughed and lightly smacked the back of his head before running up to Lee's bedroom window and peeked inside. Seeing her pull the covers over her head I grinned.
"Lee open up!" I started to knock on her window, knowing it'll bug her. "Come on, don't make a wolf huff and puff." I heard her growl and watched as she got out from under the covers to open the window for me.
"What Jared?"
"I need to talk to you." She rubbed her eyes and crossed her arms over the window ledge, resting her head on them. I knew what was about to happen, she was about to fall asleep hanging out the window.
"Jared-" She yawned "Can you let me sleep, having to patrol for ticks-" she yawned again. " I just need-"
I couldn't help but laugh, "I'll come back later Lee." Glancing at the clock in her room. "Fuck, I need to get on patrol anyway." She nodded slowly and dragged her half asleep self back to her bed.
I ran back to Seth and punched his arm. "See ya later bro, round dinner. And tell Sue I said Hi." He nodded and ran inside as I disappeared back into the woods.
Soon as I phased I could hear Sam and Jacob in my head talking about some leech that has been running back and forth between Forks and La Push. I quietly made my way to their location in the woods, keeping my mind off Kim and thinking about dinner at the Clearwater's. Sam looked over at me and I could see him dig his front paws in the dirt. I then saw Jake take a step back; I must have been lost in thought that I didn't hear them trying to get my attention.
"Jake go to Emily's place I'll be there in a bit." I could see Sam tilt his head slightly; I lowered my head, fighting hard once again to keep her off my mind.
"Okay, see ya J." He said before turning around to run off into the woods.
I kept from saying anything to him, waiting for him to yell orders. Instead I could see him sit down in front of me, he picked up his paws a few times, getting them into the right spot so he could look at me. I slowly picked up my head and looked at him.
"What's up Jared, something's not right. Is April okay? Kim?"
I shook my head lightly as he said my mom's name, but winced slightly when he said hers. He paused for a moment and waited for me to look back up at him.
"Tell me what happened Jared." He wasn't speaking in his Alpha tone anymore but he spoke like a brother.
I guess it was my turn to talk seeing as he hasn't said a word for a minute or two. I took a deep breath in a whimpered as I exhaled.
"I am a wolf how is it that I feel so weak?" I mumbled to Sam he waited for a moment,
"What's making you feel like this, what are you hiding?" I knew as he asked those questions I had to answer him, there was no hiding it.
"Kim-" I paused for a second, saying her name was hard enough, But now to say what happened. "-She, She left."
"What do you mean 'she left'?" He asked concerned.
I kept my eyes shut and stood up. We weren't that far from the cliffs, and I couldn't say anymore without losing control. I slowly made my to the cliffs with Sam following behind me not saying a word.
I lead him to where I was last with her, and nodded to a pile of rocks near the entrance of a cave. He looked at me then to where I pointed out and slowly made his way over. He must have seen the ring or caught her scent. He turned around and looked at me.
"Did she say why?"
A/N: Oooh a cliffy! Remember to review!
