Thanks for sticking around guys, and now, on with the story!

Recap of the last chapter.

"Bet you 20 bucks, she doesn't get past any of his defences and winds up on the floor looking dead." This time, the voice didn't sound like he was joking like the others were. He sounded serious. This dude didn't sound like he cared very much about girls and that was the last straw.

"Just to let you all know, I'm from the London Pack." And with that, I shifted into my wolf, Pirate.

They were in total shock, I think. All of them, stood there watching me with their jaws hitting the ground.

Wagging my tail, to let him know that I was playing, I pounced on the man that had insulted me. As I was quite small for my age, I hadn't expected him to take a tumble. Maybe he wasn't used to being pounced on by a wolf or maybe he was still in shock. Shrugging the thought off, I shifted back.

Instinctively, all the men shielded their eyes, trying to not look at me. I didn't mind if they looked though; my clothes shifted with me.

"Guys!" I yelled as they still wouldn't look even after 5 minutes. "I'm not naked, my clothes meld with me," I explained as their jaws dropped even further. I didn't think that was even possible.

"What the fuck are you?!" Cursing, the original one tried to pull me along after him as he walked towards the house. Emphasis on the word tried.

"Na ah," I told him as I slipped out of his grasp. "Since I have shown you my wolf, I fully expect to see the pack's wolves. Choppity chop, let's get going."

Shooing them along, I pointed out the one I had jumped on.

"How bout you? Go and shift."

He spluttered a bit before shuffling behind the log cabin. I stood there waiting but nothing could have prepared me for what came next.

Hearing a soft padding noise, I directed my attention towards where he had gone behind the house. A massive brown wolf stood proudly in the place where I had last seen the man. The wolf was at least 5 foot tall and was as broad as one and a half men standing shoulder to shoulder. And he was terrifying.

I didn't let the shock show on my face. I had too much experience in that. Letting others see your fear was a big no-no when you were interrogated especially by those who had fun in torture.

"Are you all that big then?" I asked the rest of them and they all nodded like stunned mullets. They had probably expected me to faint or do something stupid like that. I turned into a fucking wolf in front of them and they had expected me to be scared of the wolf. iNuh-uh!

"So…. Do you want me to explain how I know about you and that stuff?" They nodded and finally one of them gained his voice back. I patiently waited for them to ask me a question. When I say patiently, I meant that they had about 2 seconds before I started talking.

"I'm Jared." Turning towards where Jared stood, I noticed that the brown wolf had shifted back.

"You were the wolf, right?" I questioned him. Jared nodded.

"So why was I going to faint?" His face visibly whitened and his dark russet skin paled to ochre.

Stepping forward, the Alpha interrupted. "I'm Sam Uley, your half-brother."

"Yassss!" I whooped. I started to dance my victory dance. They obviously thought it was strange as they all stared at me funny.

"What?" Noticing their weird glances, I got what they meant. "It's my victory dance, duh." Rolling my eyes at them, I continued my dance.

"Umm…Why? We just told you that you have a half-brother and you are doing a victory dance." Another man stated.

"Cause my half-brother just so happens to be an Alpha."

They all stared at me bewildered. "How did you know that?" said another dark-skinned man. "By the way, I'm Jacob."

"His aura," I answered before realizing my mistake. Joanna had drilled into my brain that I should never mention my powers but I was so comfortable here, and it kind of…just slipped out. Oops!

Staring at me curiously, Jacob asked, "What do you mean? DO you have super powers or

something?" He was getting more and more excited and I was getting more and more agitated.

I couldn't believe that told them that! I swore that I wouldn't tell anyone. Now they are going to start asking questions.

Not noticing that I was backing away from Jacob, I crashed into a brick wall. A brick wall that was moving. My head hurt like hell and my back felt as though millions of little children were jumping up and down on it.

I sunk to my knees and put my hands on my forehead. The boys, noticing the commotion came sprinting over from where they were.

"Paul! You idiot! Couldn't you have watched where you were going?"

Hearing this, I mumbled, "It wasn't his fault, I walked into a brick wall."

All of them roared. Most of them had doubled over in laughter and were clapping like a bloody seal. I didn't know why it was so funny. "That wasn't a wall, Elsie that was Paul. The big Oaf who said that you wouldn't have won against Jared."

"He said what?" I asked, trying to pronounce the words properly. I stood up or at least tried to. On my way back down to the ground, a pair of strong warm arms caught me.

Looking up to face my saviour, I was about to say thank you when I noticed his eyes. They were sparkling brown with flecks of green and yellow in them. His eyes were now my favourite colour. And one by one everything that I thought was necessary for my life disappeared and it was only him. No longer was family, friends, education, travel or being a wolf keeping me alive but it was him. Him and him, only him.

Starting out of my gaze, I realized in horror that I had imprinted. I had imprinted on Paul! Scrambling away from him and the others, I stared in dismay at all of them. I couldn't imprint, I couldn't have imprinted because I had already imprinted. I had already imprinted on Darcy.

I needed to run…run far away and come back when I was ready to face this mess. I half-stumbled, half-loped to the forest edge.

The boy had started to follow me and Paul was looking at me with adoration on his face. No, no, NO! I was in love with Darcy and Darcy was in love with me. We had both imprinted on each, me and Darcy.

I shifted to my wolf and started running…running anywhere. I couldn't have another imprint. I already had one! I was in love with Darcy. I loved Darcy. I love Darcy. I didn't like Paul…but I had imprinted on him. That has to mean something…right?

My thoughts were running wild and I couldn't control where I was going. So it's no wonder that I ran straight into a tree. And it definitely didn't help that I smelt… leeches.

So probably looking like a dazed soul, I stumbled from tree to tree trying to find where the scent was stronger. And I ended up stumbling onto a group of veggie vampires – about 8 of them.

PAUL'S POV

I couldn't stop gaping at her. She was a wolf – just like us.

Elsie was stunning, I couldn't help noticing that. She had sparkling coffee hair and big, green eyes. She was absolutely gorgeous and now that she was a wolf, she was even more spectacular. He fur was long and white with a few black patches. One of the patches covered an eye and made her comically look like a pirate.

I couldn't help smiling at that. Elsie the wolf-pirate.

She went and tackled Jared to the ground and look the on his face… I was speechless, it was hilarious that a small wolf could knock down Jared so easily.

We were all staring at her now and right in front of us, she morphed back to human size. Instantly, I shielded my eyes. Does she have no qualms about her privacy? I waited like that for 5 minutes and we still didn't there any suffering that may have signalled her dressed.

"Guys!" I heard her yell. "I'm not naked, my clothes meld with me."

Opening my eyes, I noticed she was right and I was again, speechless. How the fuck did she do that?

Echoing my thoughts, Sam stepped forward and cursed at her. But she didn't want any of it. In short, she asked to see our wolves and made Jared go and shift.

When Jared came back from behind the house, she didn't say anything except to ask if we were all similar size, it didn't even look like she was surprised.

Elsie had a weathered look about her, as though she had known things that no girl should ever have to know and experienced things that no girl should ever have to experience. But the thing about Elsie was that twinkle in her eyes that let you know she had taken on a war and came out winning.

Startled out of my thinking by someone crashing into me, I realized that Elsie had been backing away from Jake and ended up colliding into me.

As I reached down to pick her up, I heard her mumble at the guys, 'how she had smashed into a brick wall'. Laughing at this, I pulled her up and turned her to face me. Staring at her eyes I realised just how gorgeous they were. Different shades of green that all complemented her olive skin tone. Everything that tied me too the earth sapped and it was just her. It was just Elsie that I belonged to. Just Elsie that I would do anything for. Heck, I'd even die if she asked me too.

As I stared down at her in adoration, she slipped out of my grasp and looked at me and the guys in horror. I couldn't understand what was wrong.

She started to move towards the forest line and only then did I realise she was trying to get away. She jumped and shifted in one motion and took off sprinting in the forest. I didn't try to follow her. She would have to know what imprinting was otherwise she wouldn't have reacted so badly. She would come back when she was ready.

Elsie, Elsie, Elsie. I have completely fallen in love with you. I love you and I will do anything for you. So if staying here will mean that you can love me back then so be it. I will wait.

I slumped down onto a log and waited. I was waiting for her to come back. She might be a day or a week. It didn't matter. I would not leave this log without Elsie.
