Note: A big thank you to all who have followed and favorited this story. It's very encouraging.
Thanks to the reviewers:
rissbenzo- Nope, no cheating here. It is a completely different story and the idea is new for me as well. The 'special' thing is more supernatural than anything else. She is unique and the following chapters will reveal what it's all about.
NiqueMo(Guest)- I think I didn't put it right in the summary. She isn't crazy just supernaturally unique. Of course it's kinda difficult to relate to anything supernatural but that's what makes it fun! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and the encouragement. :)
Guest- Thankyou!
Enjoy!
Chapter 2
Paul cursed as he stepped out of his truck. He wanted nothing more than to eat and sleep. But now they had a serious conversation ahead of them all. Why couldn't things be easy? Or just not any more complicated?
He shook his head as he opened the door to the house.
The pack and the Elders were already there. Sam had renovated and expanded his small place to accommodate a bigger kitchen and dining place since so many people ate there on daily basis.
Paul entered to see everyone talking in hushed tones very unlike the way it usually was; noisy and boisterous. He quickly spotted the woman who was the cause of all this, Nana. She seemed tense as well but probably not as tense as Sam, who was with the elders, talking.
He couldn't spot the girl though but when he focused he could smell her and what a smell it was! Absolutely alluring, it called to him.
"Sit down, man, before Sam makes you." Embry said.
Paul opened his eyes to realize he had closed them in pure pleasure. He also noticed how his pack brothers seemed to be struggling with something, especially the younger, non imprinted ones.
"Where's the girl?" Paul asked trying to be casual but he was extremely aware of the goosebumps on his skin.
"Emily took her upstairs after some of us lost control." Jared answered looking meaningfully towards Colin, Brady, Allen and Zack.
"What happened?" Paul was intrigued. "Is that what's special about her?"
"I'm not sure about that but her scent is...beguiling and the boys had a tough time keeping their hands to themselves and that's when Kaira, the girl, got really uncomfortable and was taken away." Embry answered.
"Hmm..interesting."
"Sam, do you want to talk now or should we have dinner first?" Emily asked. She was worried about the girl. She had been absolutely terrified when the boys almost squished her between them. She seemed like a sweet girl but she was awfully quiet and preferred to answer simply by shaking or nodding her head. Emily had to take care of her since none of the other imprints were invited because no one knew what this girl could do and nobody took chances with the imprints.
Sam frowned as he contemplated. The elders too had a hard time suggesting anything when Sam had asked for their opinion. Now Sam decided to simply take a vote. Some of the young boys had trouble with her and it would be extremely difficult to keep her in the house if they reacted like that each time they saw her. Kaira, too seemed extremely uncomfortable with the arrangement. She was polite but when Sam had been alone with her and asked if she wanted to stay with them, she had quietly shaken her head. It was clear she didn't want to be there but Nana was adamant. She said Kiara was just a baby and couldn't decided for herself.
But all this could wait until after they had all seen and met the girl and had the delicious dinner. He would probably take the best decision on a full stomach.
'Let's eat. Boys, I want you to be on your best behaviour. I am going to get Kaira and I don't want any trouble." Sam said sternly and they nodded.
Paul was anxious to see her and he attributed it to his being curious about her. What was all the fuss about?
"Ok then." Sam proceeded to the guest room where she had been taken.
All eyes were riveted to the door upstairs where they knew she would emerge from.
The younger wolves were trying their best not to breathe in her scent as they saw her coming down the stairs quietly. She literally didn't make a sound.
Paul stood up when she had descended the steps and was standing near a chair. Her smell was even more appealing now that she was closer. He looked her over. She was small, maybe five feet but her chestnut hair was long. She had her head down so he couldn't see her face completely but he was pretty sure she wasn't bad looking. She exuded a healthy pink glow and her presence commanded attention.
"Kaira! Come and sit, dear." Nana ordered and she was quick to motion to the chair between Sam and her.
Kaira seemed hesitant but reluctantly pulled the chair back. Paul noticed how small and soft her hands seemed to be.
Most people had taken their seats but Paul was still staring at her and standing.
"Paul? Sit." Jared said as he patted the chair next to him.
Paul frowned as he saw Jared sitting in front of Kaira and motioned for him to move so he could sit opposite her.
Jared just shrugged and moved. Maybe he wanted to size up the girl.
Everyone started serving but Kaira's hands stayed on her lap and her head remained lowered.
"Kaira, you know you need to eat. Throwing a tantrum won't help you." Nana warned her gently.
Of course everyone heard her.
"I would consider myself blessed if my children were to throw a tantrum like that." Emily whispered and Sam smiled.
Paul was still watching her and he noticed that she knew his eyes were on her.
Her hand movements were hesitant as she served herself. She still didn't look up though and that troubled Paul. Why couldn't she look up just once?
Everyone else was making light conversation even Nana was talking to Billy and Sue but Kaira focused on her food.
Paul was eating as well but his eyes were glued to her. The way her fingers picked the fork and the way she wrapped her lips around her food, chewing slowly and gulping.
Sitting right in front of her, he saw her features almost completely. She had a cherubic face. Round and child like but her features were beautiful. He hadn't seen her eyes yet but her lashes though not very long, were thick. Her lips full and red, her complexion was unlike any he had ever seen, so luminous. She wasn't pale at all. In fact, she was about two shades lighter than him but her cheeks were pink.
The more Paul stared, the more he wanted to know what her eyes were like.
And that's when she lifted her head, sensing his continuous stare.
Paul sucked in a breath as golden brown orbs met his hazel ones. A bright light seemed to illuminate in his mind before some visions played before his eyes; visions of a future...with her.
Everyone went quiet as they witnessed the imprint. Kaira was just as affected.
She seemed to have trouble breathing. Her eyes were wide, her fork forgotten.
"Kaira..." Nana placed her hand on her arm.
And just like that the spell was broken but before Kaira could turn to look at her, she fainted, almost falling off the chair but Sam supported her and Paul growled.
A vicious, loud, menacing growl.
"MINE!"
AN: And there it is! They are imprinted. Thoughts?
