Chapter 1

"Embry!" Smiled Nessie as she hugged him, "I'm so glad you could make it!"

"So am I, Nessie," he smiled as he hugged her back. "You look great, tonight."

Renesmee's dress was a maroon halter dress, with a small tie at the left side of her waist. She had on gold shoes with a two inch heel, and the straps were. Tiny and went over her toes and around the back of her heel. Her hair was up in a bun, her bangs over a portion of the left side of her forehead, and gold clips holding her bun in place. Her earrings were gold, and dangly, the bracelet on her left wrist was, real, gold and had her first name engraved into it, in script letters, it was a gift from Bella and Edward on her "16th" birthday. She wore maroon eyeshadow on her top lids with a light amount of brown eyeliner on her bottom lids, and a small amount of mascara and clear lipgloss. The engagement ring on her finger was also gold, but it had a medium sized diamond. Nessie wouldn't care if she had no diamond, all that mattered was that she was marrying Jacob.

She let go of him, "Aw, thanks, Embry! Jake's at the bar with Quil, getting drinks, if you wanna go find him."

"Thanks, Nessie, it was good seeing you."

"You, too, Embry!"

Embry stuffed his hands in his pockets and started to make his way through the crowd of dancing bodies. As he moved through, saying 'excuse me' whenever necessary, several women would look at him and smile. The smile may have meant that they were interested, to ordinary men, but since Embry was a wolf, he could smell the arousal radiating from the women. Even from the women that were with boyfriends, and whatnot. If they were already aroused, another wave hit them when they saw him walk by, or he looked at them. As much as Embry wanted to get laid tonight, he still looked around with caution, just in case he might imprint. He saw many possible lays, but he set those thoughts aside, choosing to find his friends, first. He was almost positive that the women would start flocking to him, as soon as he stood at the bar.

Embry saw Jacob and Quil, and Quil started flagging him down. When he got to them, he pulled Jake in a hug, kind of like the hug that Nessie pulled Embry into, and they both smiled.

"Congratulations, man," smiled Embry, "I'm happy for you."

"I'm very happy, too." Jake pulled out of their hug and Embry leaned against the bar. "Thanks for being here, man."

"Anything for a friend..." Quil put a shot in front of Embry, and Embry tossed it back, quickly, making a face as the taste went across his tongue. He slammed the glass back down on the counter and let out a long sigh of contentment, "I'm surprised that Edward gave you his blessing, much less his only daughter."

Jake tossed back a shot and sighed, too, as he smiled, "I know, man... but I'm glad he did. Although, it took a long time to earn his complete trust... it was worth it." He smiled, "It's so amazing that a few years ago she was just a little girl, and now... she's a woman."

Embry nodded,"She grew up nicely, though. She's very beautiful... she looks a lot like Bella."

Jake laughed a little, "Yeah, I guess she does..." Jake downed another shot, "We need to find you a woman, Em."

Embry downed another shot, "Nah, man... I'm fine with my relationships with woman."

Quil downed a shot and rolled his eyes at Embry as he spoke, "You haven't had a decent relationship since Kayla, and that was when you were 16!"

Embry downed another shot and flipped him the bird, "Fuck you, man... I don't want an imprint, but I can't control that. So, I'm not getting in a relationship with a woman if I'm just gonna imprint on someone else. Even then, I'm not gonna be in a relationship with my imprint... I don't care who it is."

Jake shook his head, "There's no point in resisting, if you do imprint, Embry. It'll kill you to be away from her..."

Embry shook his head and held up his shot, "I'll see you in Hell, then." He tossed back his shot, then slammed his glass on the bar, "'Cause I'm gonna resist it for as long as possible, if it does happen."

Jake shook his head, "You say that, now..."

Quil jumped in before Embry could retaliate, and gave everybody shots as he spoke, "Come on, let's drink to Jake's engagement!" Everybody raised their glass, "To the wolf and the halfie!" Jake elbowed Quil in the stomach, "Fuck... I mean Jake and Nessie!"

They all tossed back their shots, and Embry noticed a girl with pale skin and auburn red hair. Kayla, was Embry's first thought, but she turned around and Embry realized that it wasn't her. He tried to look away, but couldn't... for the most part, he didn't imprint on the girl he was staring at. She just reminded him so much of Kayla... Embry shook his head and downed another shot. He had downed six shots of Bourbon but was only feeling a slight buzz, because he's a wolf... his body burns it off quickly.

Quil grabbed a tray of drinks that the bartender had put on the counter, and Quil picked it up. Quil, Jake, and Embry all went back to Nessie, but she had more people around her. Bella, Edward, Jasper, Alice, Rosalie, and Emmett were there, from her family, and Jared, Kim, Paul, Rachel, Collin, Brady, Seth, Leah, and another Native girl was around Nessie. The Native girl had on a blue cocktail dress that only had a strap over her left shoulder, a black belt at her waist, and wore gold shoes that had straps twisting around her calves, to her knees. The top layer of her, wavy, brown hair was braided back, pinned at the back of her head, and the rest of her hair fell to her hips.

Quil put the drinks on a table, then started handing them out to everybody. Embry ended up getting a beer, instead of a shot, and so did the rest of the men, all of the ladies got Margaritas. Embry opened his beer and took a sip as he looked around at his friends... This is how things were supposed to be. Embry about choked as he met the Native girl's brown eyes... He saw her, her dancing in a red leotard, her holding a baby in her arms, and her standing at the cliffs in jeans, a green sweatshirt, and brown knee high boots, her hair whipping all over the place as she smiled at him.

"Shit..." Embry whispered as he broke eye contact with her.

Bella heard him, from across the circle, and whispered, "Are you okay?" low enough for only the wolves and vampires to hear.

Edward and Jasper looked at Bella, then Embry, but Embry just nodded at them. Embry took another swig of his beer, and shook his head to clear his thoughts and process everything that had happened in the past two minutes. He just imprinted on a girl that he didn't even know, and she looked a lot like Leah. To make matters worse, she was heading right towards him...

She touched his arm, lightly, and Embry felt a shock run through his body, "Hey, Embry... Remember me?"

Embry swallowed, thickly, and shook his head, "I'm sorry, no..."

Leah came over to them and stood next to his imprint. GIRL! He silently corrected himself... Leah put her arm around the girl's shoulders, "This is my little sister, Embry! Remember? Talise..."

It dawned on him, "Oh, Talise... Wow... You look great. How long has it been?"

"About eleven years..."

"Oh, yeah..."

Embry remembered her alright...

...

They met in fifth grade... Embry had always seen her and she was kind enough to smile and wave at him. He was always alone, too shy to talk to anyone, so he just sat on the swings or walked around. One day, some kids had cornered him and started making fun of him for being so quiet and for his hair being long, like a girl. Embry tried to escape them, but they closed in on him more. They started pushing him around in their circle, and he kept telling them to stop, but they wouldn't listen. It wasn't until a girl's voice broke through...

"Leave him alone!" She shouted at them. She broke through the circle and wrapped her arms around Embry, "It's okay..." She glared at everybody, "What's wrong with you? He's never done anything to you guys, so, why are you picking on him?"

"He looks like a girl," pointed out a boy.

Embry felt his eyes start watering as he hid his face in her sweater, but she continued to defend him as she held onto him, "So, what, if he has long hair? Jacob Black has long hair, and I don't see you pushing him around."

"Well, Jacob... He's..."

"Exactly... Embry is no different than Jacob, other than being shy. Stop being a bunch of bullies!"

With that, she led Embry to the school's front steps and sat down with him. Embry let go of her and she took a tissue out of her pocket to wipe away his tears, and a bit of blood from a scratch he had gotten, when they pushed him to the ground. Embry sniffled and she shushed him as she took a brush out of her pocket and brushed out his hair. Once she had finished, she put her brush back in her pocket and gave him a hug.

She pulled away and smiled at him, "That's better..."

"Thanks..." Embry replied. "I'm Embry..."

"Talise..."

...

"It's great to see you, again," Talise smiled. "You've really grown up..."

"Yeah... So have you..."

Talise visibly blushed and Embry decided that he liked it when she did that, but quickly pushed that out of his mind. He didn't like her, like that! He didn't want her like that! She may be his imprint, but that doesn't mean he has to give in to those feelings. Talise was his first friend, his defender... and now he's her protector. No! Friends... that's it! He was struggling to keep his wolf on a leash, but his thoughts kept going back to Talise, in a fashion of more than just a friend. Embry took a long drink of his beer and Quil started quieting everybody.

"Hey," he started, "Everybody! Shut the hell up!" Everybody looked at him, "Thank you... Now, I just wanna congratulate my man, Jake, and my girl, Nessie, on their engagement!" Everybody cheered, "We hope you two live very long and happy lives together, and make beautiful wolf and vampire babies!" Everybody laughed and Nessie blushed, "I'm just kidding! But, seriously, congrats, guys! Beautiful couple... How about you give us a kiss?" Jake and Nessie kissed and everybody aww'd, "Aww... Wasn't that cute?" Quil raised his beer, "Congratulations, guys!"

There was a mix of 'congrats' and 'congratulations' as everybody 'clinked' their drinks against each other's. Embry took a long drink of his beer, finishing it off, and slammed it on the table. Before anyone could talk to him, he walked away and saw a girl with dark brown hair and pale skin biting her bottom lip as she looked at him. Embry looked her up and down, and saw that she was wearing a black dress that just went an inch past her butt, was strapless, and stilettos that made her legs look long, and sexy. Embry got a sexy smile on his face that said 'you're mine, tonight' and made his way over to the girl. Her long, straight, hair stopped at her back, she was wearing black eyeliner on both lids, and red lipstick. The eyeliner was enough to bring out her greenish-brown, hazel, eyes. When Embry was close enough, she grabbed him by his jacket and leaned him down, so she could talk in his ear.

"I like brown men..." She smiled, then gave a tiny flick of her tongue under his ear, Embry shuddered, "Dance with me, Baby..."

Embry smirked as she led them onto the dance floor. Monster by Lady GaGa came on and Embry laughed, internally, at how fitting the song was. He was a wolf in disguise, and this woman was his tonight. He pushed Talise to the back of his mind and put his hands on his partner's hips. He ground against her ass through her dress, and she moaned at the feeling of his cock hardening in his pants, already.

Embry smelled the most delicious thing in the world, but it wasn't the woman he was dancing with... He looked around and saw Talise looking straight at them. Her bottom lip was in between her teeth and her legs were squeezed together as she watched Embry and the woman grind against each other. Embry almost left the girl he was dancing with, to go for Talise, but refrained himself. No imprint... she's just a friend... a friend that's got the hots for him.

Embry turned the woman around and met her eyes, instead. Her eyes were already clouded with lust, and he could smell her arousal. He brought her left leg up on his hip and held it there as he ground against her. He moved his hand that was holding her leg up, up her thigh and squeezed her ass through her dress. From what he could feel... she was wearing a thong, and no bra. He captured her lips in a hot kiss and she responded back just as passionate.

She broke the kiss and spoke, "What's your name?"

"Embry..." He told her, "Why?"

She just smiled, "I'm Abigail, but you can call me Abby..."

"You didn't answer my question, Abby..."

She pulled him closer and spoke against his lips, "Just wanna know what name I'm going to be screaming, tonight."

Embry grinned and pulled her against him, tighter, "You better hold on tight, Abby..."
