Hello. This is the early birthday gift/Christmas gift to the .. And you thought I was going to give you porn.

Jake's PoV

I couldn't stand the pain, the pain of rejection. It hurt. I just kept running, running through the Canadian forests. The time seemed to blur. I didn't know how long I'd been here for; just long enough to know that it wasn't long enough. By now you're thinking how could a seventeen year old kid survive in the Canadian wilderness? The thing is I'm a shape-shifter. I can morph into a giant wolf, a little taller than six feet. Believe me or don't, but it's the truth.

I had run away from my love: the girl who I had given my heart to. She in return, smashed it while running to her true love. She had fallen for a vampire. Not the whole burn in the sun vamp, the glitter vamp. She had fallen head over heels and he had fallen fangs over sparkly skin for her. They were going to get "married" and she had the audacity to invite me. I mean sure let's put salt on the wounds.

Speaking of the invitation, I sensed a familiar rift form in my head.

"Jacob," a voice said. You see, shifters of a wolf pack can share thoughts, like any pack animal.

"No, Sam, I'm not coming!" I growled. Sam's the almighty "alpha" of the pack.

"Jake, it would be a good way to show that you're over it and you accept it," said the ever reasonable Sam.

"The thing is Sam, that I'm not over it and I don't accept it!" I all but roared. "You shouldn't either. She's getting married to a leech. Not only that, but she wants to BECOME one. How can you let this happen? You're supposed to protect the pack and La Push."

"Jake, if you don't come, I will hunt you down and drag you there by the scruff of your neck," Sam said. Normally, someone would think of it as a threat. With Sam however, it was a fact. Undeniable, irrefutable, all the cards shown, the truth, no matter what you call it, it is what is.

I tried to ignore the presence of the alpha and thought of the ground beneath my feet. Sam sighed and phased back into his human form. I smiled and continued running.

Sam's PoV

I groaned as I walked into my house, putting on some shorts. How could my imprint be so stubborn? That's right. I imprinted on Jake, but he doesn't know it. I was ecstatic that the Jake-stealing-leech-loving bitch was getting married. Jake could get over her and come to me. Where he belongs. I groaned as another wave of memories of Jake naked and partially naked bombarded my mind. Alphas are supposed to be the only ones that mates and have kids in a wolf pack. That meant that my hormones were off the charts nearly 100% of the time. I couldn't think of a number high enough to describe how many times Jake has left me with a painful bulge in my pants, leaving me to jerk off in my bed.

I shook my head and opened the door. I smelled the warm scent of muffins. I smiled. My sister, Emily, always knows how to assuage my feelings. Though why muffins when the sun was setting was beyond me. I walked into the kitchen to see Emily putting large muffins on a rack to cool. She looked up and jumped.

"Samuel Dean Uley, how many times to I have to tell you to NOT sneak up on me when I'm in the kitchen," she snapped with mock anger. "When are you going to stop?"

"When your reaction, gets old, my dear sister," I said smirking. She gave me a look and rolled her eyes as I snatched a handful of muffins.

"So what did Jake, do this time?" she asked.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

"When Jakes gets you down, you look forty instead of 22. When Jake gets you horny, you always go straight to your room, looking like you're going to kill something. When Jake does something that makes you happy, you get a 'the-boy-of-my-dreams-finally-kissed-me look that teenage girls get. You're as readable as a book, Sam," Emily said.

Was I really that obvious? I sighed and told her of my promise to Jake and how I wasn't going to like having to hurt my imprint or go against his wishes.

"Well what you need to do is follow your alpha instincts and chain him to your bed, then fuck him senseless," Emily said matter-of-factly. I laughed and went to my room.

"AND TAKE PICTURES!" Emily called after me. I laughed. My sister was about the biggest fangirl there ever was.

It actually started when Jake first phased. I had already imprinted on him then….

Flashback –

Jake groaned in pain as he tossed and turned on my couch. When you first phase it's very painful. Your bones shift and grow, you lose some too. You gain more muscles. It's just very painful. So now my imprint was on my couch. My inner wolf was screaming to go over to him and make him mine, making him feel good. I couldn't. I was hoping that now that he phased he'd imprint on me and we could have kids.

I sighed not being able to fight the desire to be near my imprint, I grabbed some Advil and a glass of water. I sat down on the couch and put Jakes head in my lap.

"Here," I said. He took the Advil and the water and swallowed.

"Thanks," he muttered.

He replaced his head on my lap and slowly drifted off to sleep.

Emily walked in to see me stroking my mate's hair. She stiffened before whipping her camera phone out and taking a picture. She jumped up and down and went to her room. I shook my head and focused my attention on the bronze god below me.

End of Flashback -

I wished he'd just give into me. It'd be so much easier. And so much… happier. I laid down on the couch wishing that Jake was with me. Curling into me as he did a year ago.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
