So... thank you all for the reviews so far.

Here is chapter two. Was going to wait a couple more days to post but, I decided to go ahead and post it now.

Chapter Two

[Sam's POV]

I was beyond tired when I got home from work last night and all I wanted to do was sleep. But, that wasn't happening with Emily around. I love the women but damnit, she just doesn't understand that with me being alpha of the pack and working full time in Forks at the hardware store; that I just need some time to myself to relax. As soon as I was in the door she was on me. Forcing her tongue down my throat. Any other guy in the position would have been all too willing but, damnit, I'm fucking tired as hell and just want to sleep! When I had to finally force her off of me, she went straight for the bathroom and sobbed into the phone to her mother, about how much I didn't want her anymore. That wasn't the reason at all and she damn well knew it too.

So, today I am just going to enjoy myself and make this patrol around the rez and Forks nice and long before I have to head to Newton's. I've made sure to avoid the bloodsuckers just outside of Forks. We know that the leader of the coven and his mate wouldn't do shit to any of us but some of his 'children' would be more than happy to drain us the sec they got the chance to. Making the curve away from their property, I ran through the woods behind Charlie's old house and behind the high school. The scent from the bloodsuckers were everywhere but no new scents were found.

After heading back to First Beach and swimming for another hour, I headed home to shower and get my work shirt. I ran into a very pissed off Emily on my way out. She decided it was the best time to scream at me for being such a bad boyfriend. Hell, I knew I wasn't the best boyfriend in the world but damnit, she knew what she was getting into when she asked me out. She even knew about me being a wolf. She promised she would be okay with me not being around twenty-four/seven but that promise has been good in the past two years. Sometimes I wonder why I even put up with it anymore.

Newton's was slow this morning. With most people working and the kids at school, the place was dead. Mr. Newton wasn't happy with me for having to skip out of work for a couple days last week so he was making me close with his son tonight. He knew we didn't get along and I think he was doing it as my punishment. Mrs. Newton was working today so at least I would have someone to talk to.

"So, how are things with you an Emily?" Barbra ask when it was almost noon.

I shrugged my shoulders. "Okay I guess."

"You guess?"

"I don't know to be honest. She knows that I have to work here to pay for our expenses and I am on the tribes council.. she doesn't understand that I actually do a lot everyday. Then when I tell her I just want to rest, she runs to her mother." I huffed.

I didn't like Emily's mother. She was a rude, bitter old women that thought her daughter deserved the best and I just wasn't cutting her cookie cutter perfect image.

Mrs. Newton chucked behind her hand. "Dear, you know she only does that someone will listen to her talk about herself? Don't you?"

My head snapped in her direction. "What?"

"Oh sweetheart. That women, Emily, she is... how do you kids say it? An attention whore?" Barbra tapped her chin with her perfectly manicured nail. "Yes, that is what I was looking for. She is doing it because without you around so much she feels neglected. You should hear her at the thursday morning brunches. All the girl every talks about it 'Me this and me that' … quite annoying really."

I sighed. "She is a bit stuck on herself, isn't she?"

"Who is stuck on themselves?" came an all too familiar voice.

Shit.

Looking up from my hands, which became very interesting during our little chat, I looked right at my girlfriend. I put on my best smile but it felt as more of a grimace.

"Oh just a women that came in here today." Okay, so I wasn't lying.

Emily narrowed her eyes and looked from me then to Barbra. "Right... so, I was wondering if you wanted to go out for lunch. It's noon so I thought that maybe we could go to Sue's Dinner and grab her lunch special today. Bar-b-Que chicken sandwiches. What say?"

So, I was hungry. Hell, I'm always fucking hungry. Damn wolf genes. But, I really wanted to go for a run. Just relax out in the woods for awhile, by myself. Ya know, guy time.. me time.

"Actually!" Barbra's chipper voice spoke up while I was rummaging around my brain for a lie. "I need Sam to take inventory of our new stock that just came in this morning. He is taking the late lunch today." she smiled apologetically.

I am so hugging this women later!

"Oh..." Emily breathed. "I guess I will just see you at home... when you walk right past me and into your bedroom." The venom was clear in her tone.

"I'm sor-" but she cut me off with a wave of her hand.

"Don't worry about it. I will just go see my mother for lunch. I am sure she doesn't feel obligated to be around me."

I sighed. No point in trying to say anything now.

"Bye Sam. Goodbye Mrs. Newton," and with that, Emily turned and left the store.

I sighed again, this time relived. "Thanks."

"No problem dear, you looked like you could use a girlfriend-free lunch hour." she smiled. "Now get, you have an hour. Enjoy your lunch dear."

I would defiantly have to hug this women later.

I spent all of two minutes alone until a heard a howl rip through the air.

Pulling my car over to the side of the road by the high school, I ran straight for the heavily wooded area and yanked my shorts and work shirt off, just in time before I phased. I was bombarded by the worried thoughts of Embry and Jared. All I caught was the phrase 'new scent' before I took off in their direction. We met up in the small clearing just outside of La Push and phased back to talk.

"Where was it?" I asked immediately.

Embry stared at me for a moment, he didn't look very worried for the way his mind was freaking out only moments ago.

"It goes through the middle of Forks all the way to Port Angeles, then back to the rez." He spoke slowly.

I panicked. "What!? And we are standing here chatting because?"

Jared grabbed my arm as I started to run, "Dude. It wasn't leech we came across."

"What do you mean?" I ask, looking down at him.

"One of our kind."

–

Running through the middle of the reservation probably wasn't one of my smartest moves but I needed to see the other council members. If we had another wolf around here we needed to find them. Fast. As I ran past Charlie and Sue's place I got a whiff of wolf. Almost a familiar scent but with hints of wild flowers. It was possibly the most amazing scent I have ever came across. Even Emily doesn't smell this why, she has more of a... hard to say really. Like the smell of a freshly trimmed lawn and summer rain. Nothing like the smell of this creature, that could possibly be a threat to our town and families.

With that last thought, I sprinted into the woods and took off again.

The closer I got to my destination, the stronger the scent got. Rounding the corner, I was about to grab the door handle when I heard Charlie's rough voice ask. "Are you a werewolf?"

Who the hell was he talking to? Well, I was going to find out.

Throwing the door to the station open; I came face to face with my father, Charlie and a tall slender brunette, that's scent made my mouth water, Charlie was speaking to the girl. I guess I startled them when I opened the door because all heads turned toward me and that is when I saw her for the first time.

Her reddish-brown locks flowed in perfect loose curls just past her shoulders. Her cheek bones were slightly higher than most girls and the lines of her jaw and chin were strong yet soft and feminine at the same time. Her lips were full but her bottom one was slightly plumper that was just begging to be nibbled. Giving her a once over; her pink and white striped dress hugged each and every curve of her body, the lovely swell of her breasts was showing from the slightly cropped top. Then I landed on her eyes, where I felt her gaze boring into me as I drank in this goddess. Her brown eyes were the most gorgeous pools of milk chocolate I've ever looked into. The edges of her irises were rimmed with the brightest green.

I broke my gaze when a someone cleared their throat. I looked to Charlie, where he stood looking at me with a knowing smirk. Then I hit me.

"Aw fuck me." I cursed.

"Um, dad?" the goddess finally spoke. Her voice was like the most beautiful melody I had ever heard in my life. "What the hell was that about?" She damn near screamed.

I chuckled then I stopped short when I thought about Emily.

Shit. I just fucking imprinted.
