Paul, man, you have to come home.

I ignore Sam's plea as I search the forest for my imprint.

Even if you find her she won't stay in your house; she's an animal she needs to be in the wild.

I wouldn't have imprinted on her if she didn't need me Sam. Look I get that you're trying to look out for me but I don't need you to ok. I still run patrols, I still go to work, and I eat whenever I want.

You haven't been sleeping enough, your eating raw meats, your moody, and you refuse to talk to us.

I'm fine Sam! Just leave me alone and let me find her.

Fine. He growls before phasing out.

Sam knows he can't push the subject to much. My wolf would gladly leave the pack to be with our imprint.

Honestly I wouldn't mind leaving the pack either. Ever since they found out I imprinted on a tiger it's been a constant shit on Paul fest.

"Hmmmm...That is rather odd. I mean I have heard of shifters imprinting on animals but usually those animals are of the same species as said shifter." Mr. Call says.

I groan as my head falls into my hands.

"I guess Paulie's got jungle fever." Embry jokes.

"This isn't funny asshole." I growl.

"The hell it isn't!"

"Embry! Watch your mouth!" His father scolds.

The boy nods with a smirk before saying, "I gotta go dad, you know patrolling with Jared and Leah."

His father nods so he walks out the back door with a smirk on his face.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

From that point on all my "family" members have been making beastiality jokes. They all treat this situation like it's a fuckin joke, well all except for Leah. I think it's cause she's the only one willing to see how much this imprint is hunting me. Plus Leah and I have always had a special bond I can't explain it but we just get each other.

Suddenly a sickeningly sweet scent burns my nostrils causing me to let out a loud howl.

Paul what's going on?

There's a leach here Sam I can smell it.

Where are you?

Near the border I think it's that redhead, but its faint so I can't tell.

How faint?

It's from when she was here last week but her scent is getting stronger, like she's coming back.

Embry, Jacob, Jared follow Paul. Brady, Seth, and Quil come with me.

Great we get to run with bestie boy.

Shut the fuck up Embry or else you won't be going home tonight.

Yeah right your to busy looking for your pussy.

A growl rips through me as I turn and snap at Jared's neck. He doges my attack by an inch but I do catch him with a side swipe to the face. He falls on his side and I pounce on top of him, ready to rip out his throat.

STOP! WE HAVE A LEACH TO HUNT!

I growl and step away from him so I can continue looking for the leach. We keep running till we reach the river that sits between our land and the Cullen's. I catch a glimpse of red on our side so I pick up my pace and pursue the crazed leach.

As I close in on her she jumps to their side and continues to evade us, the fuckin bitch. When I get my hands on her I'm gunna rip her apart slowly.

When she jumps back over I get so excited till I see Emmett sailings through the air behind her. Jacob growls then tackles him into the water. A part of me wants to go after the bitch but I know if I leave Jacob with him he'll kill the brawny leach, starting a war. So, with the utmost reluctance, I turn around and bite him by the scruff of his neck. With a powerful jerk of my head I toss him back onto our land.

What the hell Paul? He broke the treaty!

So what, he was trying to kill the bitch that's been trying to kill my cousin. Yet all you seem to care about is hurting her boyfriend, by killing his brother.

Fuck off Paul! Astrid has nothing to do with this.

Yeah right we all know you really want to kill the Edward. Just so you can get with Astrid. Even though she obviously doesn't want or like you. In fact if you were to kill any Cullen she'd hate you, more than she already does.

Hey man lay off.

Oh shut up Embry. All you ever do is kiss Jacob's ass like your life depends on it.

Paul that's enough, I'll handle this.

Yeah because your sooo good at controlling the pack.

What's that supposed to mean?

It means you and your pack of assholes are nothing more than just that, assholes. I phase out then turn around and start running back to my house.

"What the hell is your problem Paul?" Sam calls behind me.

"Fuck off Sam!" I growl.

"Come on man what's this all about?" Jared asks finally sounding like a concerned friend.

I don't respond because if I do then I'll probably snap.

"He's probably just mad that he can't find his pussy" Quil chuckles.

Spinning around I sock him square in the jaw, resulting in a sickening crack.

"What the fuck's wrong with you Paul?" Sam questions accusingly as he kneels beside the injured boy.

"What's wrong with me? What's wrong with you? You fuckers have been doing nothing but raging on me about my imprint when you have no fuckin idea what I'm going through because you all think it's funny." I growl.

"Yeah because it is." Jacob says nonchalantly.

"It's not funny that I'll never have children. It's not funny that my imprint will never love me. And on top of that she is more likely to die before I even get a chance to see her again." I seethe.

Before anyone can speak I book it to the cliffs, I need to get away before I do something I regret.

"Paul wait!" Sam yells as I jump into the freezing water below.

Using all my power and speed I swim as far way as I can till I start to feel dizzy. Looking around I notice a cliff just a mile or so away. Taking a deep breath I push myself to get to the rocks.

When I get to them I climb up the cliff and collapse on the soft dirt. Out of my peripheral I notice movement so I turn my head to find...a pair of black boots. My eyes trail up the knee high boots, to worn out faded black jeans, and well defined porcelain abs. It's hard to take my eyes off them but I do, oh sweet Jesus her brests are big. They look like god shoved two ripe melons down her black crop top.

When my eyes reach her heart-shaped face I am taken aback by her beauty. Her breath taking crimson eyes are large and widely spaced, her nose is thin, her cheekbones are prominent, and her lips are a bit too full for her slim jawline and slightly puckered but perfect. Her eyebrows are darker than her chocolate brown hair and are straight with a slight arched. All in all she looks like a goddess.

"Who are you?" I ask like an awe struck idiot.

She smiles showing off her pearly white...fang; what the fuck?

"I'm your dream girl." she whispers.

As she steps closer to me I start to feel dizzy again. Black clouds fill my eyes when she kneels beside me. By the time her cool hand touches my chest everything goes dark.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Paul!"

My eyes snap open at the sound of someone calling me. Slowly I sit up and look around, I'm on first beach...how the hell did get here.

"You always were a light sleeper." Leah chuckles as she sits beside me.

She quickly hands me a pair of ocean blue basketball shorts.

"Thanks. What time is it?" I ask as I take the shorts.

"It's 3 o'clock in the morning I was just jogging around the Rez when I smelled you. Sam told Collin and I what happened so I figured you would need some clothes."

I nod then stand up and pull my shorts on, I'll wash the sand out of my ass when I get home.

Leah stands as well then says, "You know the situation is kinda your own fault."

"How do you figure that?" I question gruffly.

"You hide your emotions from the boys, a little too often. If you had just expressed your feels early on their dumbass jokes would have stopped real quick."

"I know." I sigh as I kick up some sand.

"You need to start voicing your opinions and emotions. I know it's hard for you so if something really pisses you off than tell me and I'll yell at the boys for you."

We both laugh but I know she's being honest.

"Thanks Le-Le, I'll keep that in mind."

"Good. Now Come on, lets get you to Sam's so you two can kiss and make up." She says as she pushes me towards the main road.

The goo-goo-gaga tone she uses at the end makes me laugh but the thought of seeing Sam right now is nerve racking. I said a lot of mean things last night.

"Don't worry Paul. Sam loves you more than life. He'll forgive you for what you said and apologize for his own mistakes." The she wolf soothes when we reach the road.

"You think so?"

She smiles brightly as she looks at my brother's porch then mutters, "I know so."

Following her gaze I see Sam sitting on his porch swing with Emily curled up in his lap. He gives me a sad smile as he gingerly shakes Emily awake.

"Hey." I greet.

"Hey." He replies as he stands.

I look at my bare feet as an awkward silence falls over us. Leah clears her throat then pushes me forward, closer to my brother.

"Umm..I'm sorry for going off like that. I was just really on edge cause I haven't seen my imprint in four weeks and all those jokes really hit home for me." I explain.

"And..." Leah prompts.

"And I should have told you and the boys how I was feeling before I snapped." I add reluctantly.

"It's fine bro, I understand." He says with a smirk.

"And." Leah pushes.

"And I'll try to be more attentive when it comes to your emotions."

"As well as." The she wolf prompts.

"As well as the emotions of the other members of our pack."

"Soooo."

"So we can be a closer family."

"Good now hug it out." Leah orders.

Sam and I chuckle as we embrace each other.

"I love you Paul."

"I love you too Sam."

"And."

"And we love you Leah." We groan in unison.
