Chapter 2

Paul's POV

I stood in the group, bored out of my mind. It was me, Embry, Quil, and Jared. We had just gotten off of our shift and were on our way over to Sam's place. We were just talking about how the fight with the leeches was going to go when it happened.

"Rachel? Is that you?" Embry called. I didn't look up at her, but I started to get this really weird feeling in my chest. I had no idea what it was. Maybe I ate something this morning. I don't know.

He froze. "Ye- no," he settled for.

Quil was silent for a moment, but then he said, "Yes, it is Rachel." Quil gave her a hug.

"Good to see you again, babe," Embry said, giving her his own hug.

Jared cleared his throat.

"Oh, Rachel, this is Jared," Embry pointed to him," And Paul."

I looked up from the ground when he said my name. I was trying to be polite, I guess. As but as soon as my eyes met hers, I could feel myself change. It was immediate. I knew at that point I lost myself, and I belonged to this beautiful angel standing in front of me. I could feel my eyes widened, and my mouth dropped a few inches, but there was nothing in my power that could stop it. Quil, Embry, and Jared all turned to look at me, but I could care less. The look on my angel's face was confused. I wanted to fix it and do whatever I could to change that. Embry, Quil, and Jared were tying not to laugh; I could hear it. I ignored them.

"So, Rach," Embry began, swinging his arm around Rachel's shoulder. "How was college? Got any… special friends?" I hated Embry in that moment. I could feel my eyes narrowing at him. She couldn't have a special friend. She was mine!

She rolled her eyes at Embry. "Well, for your information, college was good, and I do have a boyfriend. His name is Christopher, but he prefers Chris, and he's in the area at the moment looking for a job in Port Angeles." She shook his arm off of her.

I was angry. Who did this Chris guy think he was? He probably wasn't good enough for this angel. She deserved the best, and I wanted to be the one to give it to her!

"Well, I should be going soon. If anyone sees Leah, tell her I said hi and that I'm in the area, if she wants to do something." She was leaving? I didn't want her too!

She began to walk away when I heard a confused, "Leah?" coming from Jared.

She turned. "Yeah, why?"

Jared continued to talk. "Are you guys friends?"

Quil rolled his eyes and answered for her. "Please. When Becks, Rach, and Lea, were all still here, the three were almost inseparable." I was upset. I didn't get to hear Rachel's beautiful voice. But this sadness was short lived.

"Quil," She began, acting shocked, "who told you our secret code names!" She whispered the last part. Everyone else began to laugh. I was still just staring at her. She was amazing, and she had a sense of humor!

She finally left, much to my disappointment, and I watched her walk until I couldn't see her anymore. The guys were cracking up after she turned the corner, but I couldn't care less.

"Jake is going to kill you!" Embry exclaimed.

This snapped me out of my daze. I turned to him. "Why?"

Quil laughed even harder, but managed to blurt out, "dude! That's Rachel Black! That's Jake's older sister!"

At first, I didn't care who she was related too. I only wanted to know her and her only. But as I thought about it some more, I realized that he was right. I was dead.

We continued our trip to Sam's, and they were teasing me the whole way. I could've cared less, though. I was too busy thinking about Rachel.

When we arrived, the boys quickly quieted down. We all sat around the kitchen table and Emily placed food on it for us.

"So, anything interesting happen during your run?" Sam asked us.

Embry, Quil, and Jared snorted, trying not to laugh. Sam noticed and raised an eyebrow. By this time, we were getting up and going out back. Emily was coming with us.

"Why don't you ask Paul? I'm sure he'd like to tell you first," Embry announced.

"Paul?" Sam asked.

I could feel my lips turn up into a smile, and I knew I had a dazed expression on my face. "I met the most amazing girl!"

Emily and Sam's eyes widened as they realized what had happened. "Who?" they both asked at the same time.

My grin got bigger. "Her name is Rachel. She's amazing, beautiful, cute, delightful, elegant-"

"F, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p. Paul, I think we all know our alphabet," Embry teased.

Emily's smile was huge, and Sam's was just as big.

"Don't tease him. He's finally imprinted," Sam exclaimed.

That's when the back door slammed open.

"Where is he? Where is he? I'm gonna kill him!" someone screamed.

I turned just in time to see Jake shaking, and then finally explode and attack me.

A/N- I was going to stop here, but I'll take pity on you guys. Here's what happens next. And I'm warning you in advanced, I suck at action scenes.

It wasn't all that bad, at first. He just pounced onto me. It was the bite afterwards that pissed me off. I growled and phased, biting him back.

I threw him off of me, and we circled each other.

"Paul, Jake, stop it. Now!" Sam exclaimed. Jake didn't, and neither did I. We charged to each other. He managed to get a good bite, and I howled in pain. I snapped at his leg and didn't miss. The fighting resumed, and we were both out for blood. Just as I was about to sink my teeth into his rib cage, I we were ripped apart from each other by Embry and Jared.

Sam stood in between us. "Both of you cool it. Change back." He waited until we were both safely humans before he continued.

"Jake, Paul can't change who he imprints on. If you don't like the fact that Paul gets your sister, think of it like this. Your sister gets Paul. She gets the best suited man for her, and you don't have to worry about some jackass hurting her. Get it? Got it? Good!" He turned to me. "Paul, don't go attacking your imprint's family. How do you think she'll feel if her soul mate kills her brother?"

That was all it took. I could feel my face fall into a frown. "What if she won't talk to me now that I attacked Jake? What if she hates me." By now, I was getting more and more frantic. "What if she doesn't even like me? What if –."

It was at that point that Jake cut me off. "Dude, get a grip. I never want to imprint now. You used to be one of the most anger controlled wolf, and now you're freaking out like a sissy."

Sam smacked him for this. "Jake, just go home."

Jake glared at me, but answered, "I'm going for a run."

I crashed at Sam's that night, and it was one of the longest nights of my life. I desperately wanted the next day to come so I could see Rachel again. As soon as an appropriate time came the next morning, I got ready to call. Then Emily yelled at me. Apparently six thirty a.m. isn't a good time. Who knew? She made me wait until ten thirty to call. I was almost relieved when someone picked up on the third ring, and I asked to talk to Rachel. Disappointment followed soon after.

"Sorry, Paul. Rachel has plans with her boyfriend and won't be back until tonight." Jake could be such an ass sometimes. Just because Bella picked the leech doesn't mean he had to ruin everyone else's happiness.

"Fine. Will you tell her I called?" I asked hopefully.

"I'm patrolling from whenever you hang up until late tonight. I might not see her, so don't count on me to relay the message."

"Whatever," I said, outraged. "I'll find her when she gets back."

I heard him sigh. "Not likely." Then I heard the dial tone telling me to hang up and try again or press one for more options.

I walked back to my apartment angrily, barely calling out a rushed "Goodbye" to Emily. An hour later, my home phone rang. Caller ID told me that it was Jake.

"What could you possibly want?" I answered with.

"Paul, I'm patrolling, and Rachel just called me. Something's wrong."

A/N- Don't you all hate me now? * grins*
