10 years later.

The last 10 years have been hard. I know that I could have hooked up with someone to release some of this sexual tension, but I would feel like I was cheating on Claire. Jake had imprinted on Nessie, Edward and Bella's daughter. Talk about a scandal. He is lucky that Edward never tried to kill him. Of course being that Nessie is half vampire she ages much quicker than a normal kid. Lucky Jake. She is only 8 but she looks 18. They are getting married in a few weeks. It has been a blessing though. At least Jake knows how I feel.

"Quil. Do I have to go to school today? I really want to hang out with you." Claire said. Gosh nothing would make me happier, but school was important and I couldn't have Em and Sam be mad at me. "Yes Claire-Bear, you have to go to school, but it is Friday. We will have the whole weekend together." I told her as she pouted.

Sam and Emily had four kids and Sam stopped patrolling about 5 years ago. He said that Emily was starting to age and he wanted to also. It was so weird to see him with gray hair. Jake was the alpha now and I was his "beta" as Bella calls it.

I took Claire to school and went on patrol. There haven't been any new vampires in the area, other than the occasional nomad, but Jake said we could never be too safe. I knew he was right and of course had to do as the Alpha told me.

Embry imprinted on Sam's daughter and Leah imprinted on their second son, who was only 6 months old. Finally, someone other than Jake that felt my pain. Claire knew about imprinting and that she was mine. I just wondered if she would ever date before she realized her destiny and how that would make me feel. I couldn't think of another guy with my angel, but I had to let her choose her own path. If was destined to be her best friend always then I would just have to live with that. I hope that wasn't the case.
