There is one thing that I use to be absolutely positive of. That I had imprinted on Emily.
When I was dating Leah Clearwater, I knew I wasn't in love. It was nothing more than just a crush. I guess you could say that Leah and I brought on another meaning to "puppy love".
One night, at a council meeting, there she was. Sitting at the campfire with all the others. The fire reflected off her face and it glowed. She spotted me and smiled sweetly at me, even though Leah was glued to me.
It wasn't my fault that I imprinted on Emily, but Leah didn't understand that. Soon, we were over and Emily was in my life.
Too make things worse; years later, Leah joined the wolf pack. The only female that actually would.
I never understood if she was just trying to piss me off, or for the sake of her father Harry Clearwater who had died of a heart attack before she joined.
I could not resent her, I felt too bad for her. But….there was another reason I could not resent her….
I use to think that God gave me Leah so I could come to my senses about how I should pick my women. He showed me the bad, Leah. Then he gave me the good, Emily.
But now God is just being cruel because Leah has a younger sibling.
And no, it is not a sister.
Seth Clearwater, FIFTEEN years old.
I remember when I was dating Leah, he was a short little 11 year old kid who would never give us any…privacy. Though, I had to admit he was kind of adorable.
When I would come over, he would take my hand and lead me into his room and ask me to play video games with him. How could I say no? He was kind of sensitive. I would always be thankful though when Leah would come in and yell at Seth about "stealing her boyfriend". Then she would take me away, leaving behind a pouty kid to play video games by himself.
A few months after Leah had joined the back, I was told by Jacob's father that there was to be a new member joining the pack.
"But we are still getting use to Leah." I joked. She didn't find it funny and gave me a look.
"Well, he is just like me Sam. Just like me." She had told me.
The door opens and in comes this teenage kid. He looks familiar, I'm sure I had seen him before.
"Sam, this is Seth Clearwater, Leah's brother."
Leah smirked at me.
"…Seth?" I said, puzzled.
I had not seen the kid in so long, last time I saw him he was about 12 and it was after I had broken things off with Leah. He walked right up to me and kicked me in the shin. I knew it wouldn't of hurt him, after all he was a Clearwater, but it did hurt me a bit.
"That's for hurting my big sister!" He had yelled and stuck his tongue out at me.
He now, was much taller. He has grown up! He is pretty skinny still, but has some muscles. He still has the baby face, but it fits him.
I couldn't deny he was still adorable…..maybe more than adorable.
There was this feeling inside me that I couldn't explain. It was a better feeling then what I had when I first lay my eyes on Emily.
"Hey Sam." He said quietly and sweetly. His voice boyish but way deeper than when he was younger.
That's when I realized I had imprinted on Seth Clearwater.
