MCKENZIE P.O.V.
I was stuck in darkness for a long time until I could hear faint whispering. I tried to open my eyes but it felt like they were glued shut. I tried to move my arm which was another
fail. I groaned in annoyance as I gave up. At least I could feel my body healing itself. I could hear the voices getting louder now. "It's ok Jared she is safe now." Somebody said to
my Jarebear. "No it's not…" He mumbled as he made a loud sniffling noise. HE must have been crying hard. I had to wake up like now. This time I tried even harder and my eyes
slowly opened. I blinked a few times adjusting to the light then peeked around. I was surrounded by Sam and his pack. I gave Jared a small smile before he engulfed me into a
warm bone crushing hug. I smiled into his shoulder ass I felt more of his tears on my back. I gently pulled away and whispered "Jared it is ok I am fine now." He shook his head
and said "I should have protected you Kenzie…I could have stopped all of this from happening." I patted his arm and said "It is my fault for not telling you Jare." "No it's not nothing
is your fault." He whispered sweetly to me. I smiled weakly before my eyes landed on Jake, Quil, and Embry. They were all lightly shaking as they looked at my face. I shook my
head and pulled them all into a hug. They instantly stopped and hugged me tighter. I finally let go and looked over at Leah. I smiled brightly and put a hand on Jared's shoulder to
help me stand up. He helped me up as I limped over to Leah and threw my arms around her. I felt her warm tears on my shirt as she whispered "Boo I'm so sorry." "It's ok Le." I
whispered. She wiped her tears and I let go of the hug. Before I could even turn around Emily pulled me into a hug. To be honest I really didn't like Emily or Sam so I didn't hug
Emily back. After she let go Seth pulled me into a hug and I smiled happily. After I let go I looked around the room and smiled weakly. I was about to say something before the door
opened and in walked a boy I have never met. "McKenzie this is Paul." Sam said nervously. Paul walked over and looked me in the eyes and that was it. I felt like the world just
stopped…It was like the sun shined for him. He was like a God. I felt like I needed to be right next to him all the time…oh wow McKenzie you just met the kid get a hold on yourself!
PAUL P.O.V.
I was stuck on another late night patrol thanks to my almighty Alpha Sam. Ugh and he put me on it by myself. But that does have its ups. I mean now I don't have to listen to
anybody complaining. I smiled a wolfy grin as I finished my patrol. I phased back and threw on some shorts before running back to Sam's. On my way there I caught an unfamiliar
scent. It smelled amazing, like cupcakes and vanilla. I followed the scent all the way back to Sam's house. I ran up the steps and into the house where a new girl stood. I walked
over to her and Sam said 'McKenzie this is Paul." As soon as I locked eyes with her my world crumbled beneath me. I felt like a blind man seeing for the first time. She was
gorgeous. She was about 5'8 with a tan just like mine. She had curves but in all the right places and she looked strong. Her hair was a little past her shoulders and it was a
beautiful blackish brown color. Her teeth were bright white and they were perfect. I could swim in her deep brown eyes all day. Then I noticed the bruises and cuts all over her.
What happened? Who did this to my imprint? Oh wait…my imprint. It feels so weird saying that, but it's a good kind of weird.
MCKENZIE P.O.V
I was shaken from my thoughts by a low growl from Jared. "Paul you didn't!" He yelled. He ran towards Paul but I jumped in front of him. Jared immediately stopped and looked at
me in shock. "Jared there has been enough fighting today please." I whispered. He looked down at me and nodded. "Thanks Jarebear." I smiled and pulled him into a hug. He
smiled and hugged me back but whispered to Paul "Hurt her and I will kill you." Ha he thought I couldn't hear him…HAHA. I let him go before sitting back down on the couch. Jared
sat on one side of my and Leah sat on my other side. Everybody else sat in a circle around us and Sam finally had the balls to ask me the question everybody wanted the answer
to…"What happened?"
