Embry wishes he didn't learn the truth about his past and become what he is now. Embry phased almost a year ago now and every day he wishes he hadn't. Now he knows the truth about who he is. He was in fact a Quileute Native American and that means his father has to be one of three options; his best friend Jake Black's father, his best friend Quil Ateara's father, or his alpha, Sam Uley's father. The problem in this is that all three men had been married and had their own kids at the time Embry's mother got pregnant. Everyone had hoped Embry was Sam's brother only because his father already looked bad in the community, so him cheating on his wife would not be surprising.
To make matters worst, Jake had thought Embry actually wanted to know which was his father and had convinced Sam to allow them to do a dna test to surprise Embry. Embry never wanted to know, he never wanted to be apart of this. He just wants to go back to his normal life where he thought his father was dead, where he actually trusted his mother, where he got along with his mother, he wanted his life to be how it used to be, but it can never be anymore.
Embry hated himself every day of his life. He was a child born from an affair, a bastard child. Embry used to love his life, but now he wishes he was never born. Everywhere he looks he sees happy family and is reminded that he was nothing, but a homewrecker. Sam says he's happy that Embry's his brother, that he loves him, but Embry isn't stupid. He's different from the other guys. The other guys feel as if they belong, they are happy for the most part, and they have all bonded with one another except Embry. Embry feels as if he's an outsider, as if he shouldn't have phased and joined the pack. Every day he distances himself more and more from the pack, shutting himself out from everyone who cares about him.
The only thing the guys wish for is that Embry finds his imprint, they hope she may be the one to pull Embry back and get him to be his old self again, but the truth is many fear that because of Embry's situation that he will never imprint. It's something that only makes Embry more depressed and hates himself all the more. While everyone else can find their soul mate and be happy Embry will always be alone and an outcast.
In the eyes of most Embry is the quiet, reserved, and loner of the pack, but in the eyes of the pack he's much more. He's scared, hurt, lonely, confused, and most of all broken. Everyone knows that Embry is the nicest guy they know, but it seems like every day their goofy and sweet Embry is leaving and becoming just an empty shell of himself. Their greatest fear is that one day there won't be anymore Embry left to save.
