"Embry Call!" I shouted up the stairs. "If you don't get down here right now, I will be forced to eat your breakfast for you! And I am starving! There will be nothing left!"
I heard a crash and then footsteps pounding down the stairs. Embry, dressed in jeans and a thin t shirt, came rocketing down the stairs like a starving teenage boy.
"Morning," I said sweetly. "Did you sleep well, lazy bones?"
He stretched, and I could see his muscles flex under his shirt. "Not really, Noles. Don't tell Mom, but Sam had me up till 3 AM on patrol."
I instantly felt bad for waking him up, and I felt a tad less cranky than normal in the mornings. He'd had a long night, and he needed more sleep. That was easy to see. I gave him a big hug, but my arms didn't even fit all the way around his torso, he was so big. "Sorry I woke you up. You know I wouldn't eat your food. But the pack will."
He chuckled and kissed me on the top of my short head. "Its okay, Nola. The pack will be here in about 5 minutes, so I suggest we eat fast."
I plopped down at the kitchen table with some of Mrs. Call's famous chocolate chip waffles and peanut butter syrup. I'd managed to scarf down 3 in the time Embry swallowed 6. I was in shock, still, at how much that boy could eat. Werewolf, I reminded myself.
About 5 minutes later, the entire pack: Jake, Sam, Seth, Leah, Embry, Quil, Paul, Jared, Collin, and Brady came storming inside, all in wolf form.
"Phase in my kitchen and die," Mrs. Call said. "Boys, your clothes are in the spare room. Leah, in my room. Go now, before the food gets cold."
They all ran up the steps, and the sound was like vampires playing baseball. As soon as they were changed, they came barreling down the steps and devoured every bite of food in the kitchen. And just then, Claire, Kim and Seth's imprint, Alia, ran in. They sighed when they saw the food was gone.
"Come on ladies!" I said. "I'm treating to breakfast at McDonalds!"
"Thank you, Nola!" Claire cried, having a slight obsession with McDonald's lattes. "We can take Embry's truck."
"I heard that!" Embry shouted as I grabbed his keys.
"You were supposed to, wolf boy!" Kim shouted as we crowded into the truck. We drove on down the road to McDonald's and that's when we noticed the idiotic boys had snuck into the truck bed.
"Hey, private party!" Alia shouted lovingly. Seth smiled at her. "You guys are so walking home! You too, Sethy Wethy."
"But Alia," he moaned as we forced them out of the truck bed. "I love you. Don't forget that, okay?"
"Are you seriously going to make us walk home?" Collin sulked. Ugh, he seriously needed an imprint to keep him busy.
"Yeah, pretty much," I said sweetly, kissing Embry quickly on the cheek. "We'll see you guys back at my house, okay?"
"Okay," they muttered, starting off. Oh, what wimps. It was only 5 minutes.
"Bye!" Kim shouted after them. "We love you guys so much!"
I laughed and then Claire insisted she was starving and that we had to go in now. So laughing like the 4 best friends we were, we stepped into the restaurant.
When we got back to my house, the guys were once again in wolf form, watching TV on the living room floor. Their clothes were in a neat pile on the floor. My mom was in the kitchen, glancing nervously at them. I knew she was still scared, but she would get used to them. I found the thin gray wolf with black spots on the floor and sat down next to him. Alia, Kim, and Claire took their places beside Seth, Jared, and Quil.
Embry whimpered and nudged his nose into my neck. "Embry," I fake-scolded "My mom is watching!" He turned to look at her, and wagged his tail, barking. Mom let out a tiny scream and jumped back into the kitchen. I laughed and buried my face in his soft fur, breathing in the scent of him. "I love you Embry."
He barked slightly, and licked me on the cheek. Okay, that was slightly romantic, I guess. I kissed him on the top of the head and pulled a chew toy out of the pocket of my coat. I had insisted we stop and pick it up, and Kim had agreed happily. He wrinkled his nose and gave me a look of annoyance. I held it out and he grabbed it, and then whipped it across the room, growling. Sam started to bark, as did the other wolves. I think they were laughing.
After a while, they all phased back and got dressed again. There was word of a bonfire on the beach, and Embry wanted to take me. I knew this meant I would be all dressed up by Alia, but if I was going with Embry, it was worth it.
She plunked me down in a chair while Kim and Claire routed through my closet. I was picked, poked, and prodded and finally ended up with my hair curled and my make up looking professionally done. Then I was forced into a pair of dark wash jeans and an Aeropostale t shirt. Well, that wasn't too bad.
"Seth Clearwater!" Alia screamed, taking off across the beach. Her yellow sundress flared out behind her as she jumped up and hugged Seth like she hadn't seen him in days, when it had only been a few hours. "I missed you, Seth!"
Kim waved and skipped over to Jared. Claire saw Quil and went crazy, running over the sand to his open arms. That left me. I walked slowly over to where Jake and Embry were talking.
"Hey Em," I said softly. 'Hey Jake."
He smiled at me. "Hey Nola."
