Chapter 2
I woke up smiling, I woke up with my cheek against pauls chest and his arms around my waist. I shook him lightly. "paul" nothing. " paul wake up" still nothing. I leaned up and nuzzled under his chin. " paul you should wake up now". He shuddered slightly. He yawned and stretched some. " good morning" I said brightly. He mumbled good morning, to low for human ears. Shoot, I bearly heard it. " what time is it?" I leaned over him to see the clock on the night stand. "it's 8:30"he groaned. "you really had to wake me up at 8:30 in the morning?" I laughed. "yeah, I did. Now come on and get up" he refused. "paul come on, I need to go home. I have to talk to mom and get fell"
"fell?" oh boy, " my dog, remember" he smiled."yeah I remember" impatienece setting in. "if you don't come on im going without you" that got him moving. I got out of bed and stretched. I went to find my jeans but paul stopped me. "I think you look better in my clothes than I do" I laughed. "come on the sooner we go, the sooner we can get back" I walked out of the room and paul followed quickly behind. Before I could get to the door he grabbed my hand and led me out.
We got to my house in record time. However to my dismay, mom was already up. And she didn't sound to happy. I left paul by the woods and went in the house. "alex where the hell have you been?!" I shuddered. "mom I have something to tell you, it will explain everything. I know it sounds crazy and stupid, but im serious. Im a wolf mom, I can turn into a wolf." She looked shocked. "but that's why we moved away I didn't want it happening to my baby, oh my god" she started sobbing. Great. "mom, I have to go. I have to go to la push. They already know about me, I have a place to stay. I love you and ill visit often. Ill be back later to get some things, but I have to go now. Pauls waiting for me, I have to go see sam. The alpha." She stopped crying and noddded. I walked outside and whistled. Fell cam running to me. I grabbe him around the neck and hugged him to me. Come on boy we're goin for a walk.
I went into the woods and phased, fell was soon by myside and I took off trotting, easy enough for fell to match my pace. I didn't wait for paul, because I knew he would catch up easily.
So nice of you to wait for me
I figured you would catch up
It's the thought that counts
Not if I can here every thought you have
I disagree
Shocker, where are you anyway
Right next to you
Gahh! Holy crap don't do that.
Sorry
Just then fell started growling at him.
I stepped in front of fell, he went silent.
Apparently fell doesn't like competition.
Hes just protective that's all
He looks just like you
I know,
We should hurry,
Fell can run as fast as us.
I got down and barked at fell. He came to me, he got the hint and climbed on my back. I took of runnin towards pauls house.
Its our house now
Who says I want to stay with you
Oh come on
Fine, but I do have to go to school
Oh yeah
Yeah, are you still in school?
Yeah, senior year starts in a week.
I guess we found each other just in time then
What grade will you be in
9th
Geez, well I guess a senior dating a feshmen isnt that uncommon.
Don't get to cocky. That's my job.
So it seems.
We got there shortly after. I phased and took fell into the house. "good boy, fell" I rubbed his head. I started scratching his neck and he growled lightly in pleasure. I heard the door shut and paul walked in, where only his sock and shoes and his cut off jeans. He wrapped his arms around my waist. "he isnt the only jealous wolf around here" I laughed. "your just going to have to deal with it. He's my baby" I gave him a final pat on the head and looked at the clock. It was only 10:30. " what time are we supposed to be at the one girls house?" his stomach growled. Somebodys hungry. "around noon, lets go to the beach. " and with that he led me out of the house and down a path.
We got to a beach, it was beautiful. Pale yellow sand being lapped at by the greenish blue water. The perfect morning sun shining across the view. It was absolutely stunning. "hey paul" he stopped and looked at me. "yeah?" , " I think its beatiful, thanks fro bringing me here." He just smiled and pulled me into a hug. "its not the only thing" I laughed into his chest. I may be tall, but hes a bit taller. "lets go sit down." We walked down the beach and sat on a log that was clearly meant as a bench of some sort. We just sayt in a comfortable silence. Watching the waves. I was mesmerized by the view.
This was until some guy came from the woods. "hey paul, sorry man but I don't think sam wanted one of your sluts to come to the meeting." Seriously, he did not just call me that. I may be young but I can sure as hell take him on. He was clearly a wolf to, and wich one was not of my thoughts. Paul started to growl, even in human form. He started to stand but I pushed him back down. Good thing no one else was on the beach. He looked amused as I stood up, I began to walk to him. But I decided what the hell, lets make it interesting. No warning, I bursted out of my clothes into a wolf the color of night. I snarled as I tackled this guy into the woods. He was far from laughing now. I had him underneath my paws. Pinned to the ground. I didn't hurt him, except maybe his ego. By this time paul had phased. He pushed me off his friend and held me down. I didn't struggle, but I did growl.
Paul glared at me, but with amusment was clear on his face, I would have know he thought that was hilarious even if I couldn't read his thoughts.
Wow, my girl can pack a punch. -paul
Your girl is very pissed off. –khaz
Oh my fucking god! –Embry
Who the hell are you to call me a slut, by the looks of you are your over sized ego you must be a man whore yourself – khaz
Oh, *laughs* god. *laughs* your face embry. –paul
Wow, way to pick em paul. How was I supposed to know she was a wolf. –embry
You're a pitiful excuse for a wolf –khaz
Damn paul I hope your next girl is a little better than that, whered you get her anyhow? – embry
I don't think theres gonna be a next one -paul
What the hell is that supposed to mean? –embry
Typically after wolves imprint they don't date other girls – paul
Besides Id kick his ass if he did – khaz
Whoa wait man, you imprinted? –embry
Yeah man, you should try it sometime. – paul
Paul walked over to me and flopped down next to where I lay. I growled at him but he just put his head over my neck to rest it on my shoulder. I continued growling but he pretended not to notice.
Just go get sam – khaz
What about me? –sam
Hey sam! –khaz
Suck up- embry
Shut up –khaz
Make me –embry
Is that a challenge? –khaz
I tried to get up but paul held me down with his head.
Damn wolf- khaz
Oh *laughs* wow, *laughs* paul she is just like you. –sam
What is that suppose to mean? –khaz
Well I guess I'm not the most stable wolf…-paul
Stable, phss. You make lions look tame. – embry
I remember one time paul snapped at a girl for parking to close to the line. –unknown
Hey brady, whats up man. – embry
Shut up brady-paul
Whos the new girl? – brady
Khaz –paul
Holy hell, another wolf lost to the imprint – brady.
Jealousy doesn't look good on you brady – khaz
It speak! – brady
It will kick your ass –khaz
Uh huh, sure. –brady
Why don't you actually join us instead of hiding- khaz
I wasn't hiding, and im coming –brady
just then brady came into the clearing
i could so take you –khaz
you wish sweetheart –brady
wanna make my wish come true? –khaz
you're a fiesty one arent you –brady
better believe it –khaz
after finally being released from paul, I sauntered over to brady. I was every bit as big as him. Maybe bigger. I gazed into his eyes. I literally stared him down. He backed away, I snorted and returned to pauls side.
Stupid wolf –khaz
How did you do that?-paul
Do what?- khaz
You made him flinch, the only one I tohught could do that was sam –paul
We may be more alike than you know – sam
Hows that?- khaz
The only way I figure you could have received the gene is through joshua uley, my father. I would like to think that billy, and harry didn't cheat on their wives. Besides we're both black, we're both big, and if im not mistaken we both carey the alpha blood. –sam
But wouldn't you to be trying to kill each other is she had alpha? – embry
No, not necessarily. In normal wolf packs theres an alpha male and alpha female. Normally they are mates but clearly that is not the case. –sam
Holy hell, we're gonna have to listen to a girl to??! –brady. Embry
Since the male is dominant still over the female I will maintain most leadership, but if she tells you to do something we cant contradict each other. You must do it, so I would stay on her good side. And it makes sence, alphas find their mates. We both have ours. –sam
Holy crap, your tellin me im an alpha. That's awesome- khaz
Yes my dear, by blood you are alpha female-sam
Drappa –khaz
What?- embry
A drappa is the word for alpha female.- khaz
And what is alpha male? –brady
Dragga –khaz
Cool – brady
But this isnt your get out of jail free card, you still have to run patrol like the rest of us. You still have to follow pack rules. And don't abuse the power. –sam
I wont.. –khaz
Good. – sam
Im soo hungry – paul
Way to be subtle man – embry
Well come on, emily has food ready – sam
There wasn't a coherent thought after the word food. They all ran to phase. I just followed their scent to the edge of the yard I had come to know belonged to emily. Just barely under tree cover I laid down next to a rock. As hungry as I am, I would rather sleep.
You should come eat in the house –paul
Ill just hunt, its fine. I would rather sleep right now. –khaz
Come on khaz don't be rediculous. –paul
Look, ill be fine. Seriously –khaz
Fine, ill stay with you then –paul
No no no, I know for a fact that you are starving. Go eat. –khaz
Really I don't need to, ill just stay with you. –paul
How would you like me to test this alpha power –khaz
I would like you to quit being stubbourn –paul
Go eat, ill be here when you get back. Promise –khaz
Bu..- paul
No, go eat now. –khaz (alpha command)
Grudgingly he got up, he stuck his nose in my ear and licked my cheek. Before he turned he grabbed my neck hide and drug me to the house. It shocked me and I couldn't come up with a clear thought. When we were by the back porch he pounced on me, holding me under his weight. I growled and he smirked. He started licking me, all over my face.
Fine, fine. You win. Im coming. God paul just stop. –khaz
Good –paul
Crap, well heres a dilema –khaz
What? –paul
I shreded my clothes at the beach –khaz
Ill be right back –paul
He went into the woods, phased and came back to me. "ill get you some of emilys clothes. Be good" he petted me like a dog, I growled yet again, he just laughed. What is is damn funny about me growling.
I rolled on my back, started scrathcing my back. I heard laughing form inside. Oh so funny huh. I went to the kitchen window and looked through it. I caught sams eye, and he literally fell out of his chair. I laughed a wolf like laugh and trotted back to my original place. Paul was waiting for me, he gave me one of those looks that say "what did you do" I snickered. " here" he handed me the clothes. I ran into the woods and phased.
" what had everyone laughing so hard?" paul asked. "I looked through the window and sam fell out of his chair." Paul started laughing. I couldn't help but laugh to. " lets go, im startving" I walke past him but not before he could grab my hand and follow me like a puppy. Great analagy I know.
" Wow, hi. Im Emily, its so nice to meet you. I never thought paul would imprint. It's a shock. " she pulled me into a hug. Not uncomfortable, but no normal either. I hugged her back though. " I heard you have a lot in common with sam, it's a good thing about being alpha. The boys need a girl to whip them into shape. Come on, I saved you and paul a plate" she drug me into the kitchen. I got many looks from the other pack members, but none of them dared to stare. I said hi to everyone before paul led me into the living room to eat.
He in haled his plate. My appetite grew when I phased but I was still shocked. I at 3/4ths of my plate. But I couldn't eat anymore. "you want it?" he smiled, and kissed me on the cheek. "you're the best" he started on the rest of my plate. " so ive heard." One at a time the rest of the pack came in and introduced themselves. I greeted them all the same. But when embry came in I expertly shot a fork at him. Just like throwin darts. He caught it just before it hit him. Lucky dog. I mumbled under my breath. Everyone lust started laughing. "its not even been a day and hes already on the new alphas bad side" collin commented. I laughed at that.
We spent the rest of the day at emilys, hanging out and learning more about the guys, and la push. A few embarassing stories of paul and sam. We had a great time.
"hey paul" he looked up. "yeah?". "im tired, can we go?" he smiled slightly. " yeah. Just a minut."
"we're leavin guys, see ya tomorrow." We walked outside. "its not that far from here to my house, lets just walk." I nodded in agreement. He grabbed my hand and we started walking down the road. Just for the sake of being me, I jumped on pauls back. "so you like being on top?" he asked with a mischeivious grin. I smacked the back of his head. "get your mind out o fthe gutter and take me home." He moved his hands up my legs. I growled a bit, he stopped his hands but didn't move them. Gahh, boys. I had my head on his shoulder and my arms around his neck. I was almost asleep when we got to his house. He carried me inside and downt he hall.
He laid me in the bed carefully. I was to tired to care, so I just slipped off the jeans I was wearing. Paul seemed to growl a bit, I smiled a bit and sleepily patted the spot next to me. " come on" he hesitated a moment before pulling off his jeans , plaid in only his boxers. And got in bed next to me. I put my han on his side and pulled him closer to me. "don't be shy" he shivered. I snuggled to his chest and fell asleep to the rythem of his now fast beating heart.
Waking up to your soul mate is one of the bes things in the world. Words cannot explain it. The closest you can come is amazing, and that isnt even close . I woke up in the same position I fell asleep in. I pulled myself even closer as impossible as it seems, Paui smells so good. That may sound weird, "were you ssniffing me?" busted. "yep, yo smell pretty good to. " no need in denying the truth. He smiled. "thanks" I yawned.. " its Wednesday and school starts on Monday, we need to get you registered. We can have sam do it." I shrugged. "doesn't matter to me." I rolled over, still being held by paul. "its going to be hard to make you any breakfast if you don't let me up" that did the trick. But as I promised I went into the kitchen to make breakfast. Lucky for me, he had a carton of eggs and a package of bacon. I made his breakfast. But not without snagging some for myself. I sent paul into the livingroom while I did the dishes and cleaned up. I walked in there to see him watching some action movie.
He looked up at me, we both automatically smiled. He motioned for me to come over and he pulled me down into his lap. i snuggled closer and he lay his hand on my hip Holding me in place. "So, what are we doing today?" he seemed to ponder for a moment. "get us both registered for school". I groaned. "school sucks" he laughed. "I know, but id like to see some of peoples expressions. Gotta have somethin to look forward to." I mock glared. "Fine."
He rubbed my side. I was annoyed yes. But its impossible to be mad at him for more than a second. He must have noticed I was still stiff. He hugged me tight. I mean tight I couldn't breath. "Paul. God let go." He wouldn't budge. "Paul, let me go." He still wouldn't . "damn it, Let me go now!" (alpha). He let me go. I smirked. "I guess you'll learn to do what your told" he looked a little sad. "Sorry". He looked up, I couldn't help it. I wrapped my arms around his neck and put my forehead against his. "can you forgive me?" I asked with a hint of amusement in my voice.
I heard a light growl before his lips were on mine. The power of an imprint. I kissed back just as eager. And being a boy with his mind in the gutter started getting a little to happy. I pushed him back a little and looked into his eyes. "im still 14, so don't get hopes high" he laughed at me. "Well I don't know about you but I am most definitely going to make the best of my last few days of freedom".
For the rest of the day we just sat around and watched movies, as we did until school started.
