Chapter 3 Home Alone With The Wolf
Naru just walked into the house after a long day with the pack she had finally got on schedule with patrol and meals at Emilys but what she loved the best was the time with Jacob. Sam paired them up for patrols and they would just chat and lay in the sun when every they could. Naru knew she was falling for him and she almost thought that she imprinted. He as all she could think about and wanted to be in his strong arms and feeling the heat radiate off his body. As she walked through the house she heard a slight cry for help. Her granny cried out in pain and Naru instantly ran down to her. Her granny was laying on the floor as she ran to her side.
"GRANNY!" she yelled grabbing her hand.
"Call… call for… help." Her great grandmother said closing her eyes. She instantly called 911 and the ambulance was on the way. She also called her mother, Jacob, and Sam. Her mother said she was going to the hospital and that she needs to stay at the house. Once she hung up on the phone she heard the sirens of the ambulance pull up and she ran to the door.
"Ma'am where is your grandmother?" one of the men asked tears were swimming in Naru's eyes. She motioned for them to fallow here. She was crying because her granny wasn't awake she wasn't responding to Naru. The men fallowed her to her granny's room and they immediately started to wake her. They put her on the gurney and wheeled her out of the room. She fallowed them out to the back of the ambulance and watched them slide her in close the doors and drive away. She shook at the thought that she wouldn't be coming back. She feel to her knees and started to cry. She hadn't cried like this in a long time she was scared and lost. Her granny was her everything the one who taught her about their history how to be the top dog no pun intended. As she cried someone wrapped an arm around her, a strong arm. It was familiar enough to turn and bury her head in the person's chest. They rubbed their hand up and down her back trying to sooth her. Soon as it wasn't bad enough it started to rain. She looked up and noticed it was Jake holding her; he picked her up cradling her like it was nothing and walked her into the house. She was still sobbing as he sat her on the couch. As he started to pull away her grip tightened.
"Please… Please don't let go." She said her eyes red and her cheeks stained from the tears. He looked at her his heart broke at the sight of her crying. She was something special to him a beautiful girl and a graceful wolf. He nodded and held onto her and soon he felt she breath slow and her heart beat at a steady slow pace so he knew she was asleep. He laid her down brushing hair out of her face and setting a pillow under her head. He went in search of her room to grab a blanket. Once he entered Harley got up and gave him a light growl. Jake had been there plenty of times in the past week so she got use to him but didn't fully trust him due to the fact he once stepped on her tail. As Jacob walked in he picked up her midnight blue comforter, as he did the pillow moved and revealed a book… her diary. Jake looked at it knowing if he read it she'd never forgive him but he couldn't resist himself. He opened to the last page which was dated the night before.
*Today was another great day with Jake. Once we were done on patrol we took a rest near the lake the sun was setting and the mountains looked beautiful the snow covered tops turning shade or purple and pinks. I don't think Jake noticed but I couldn't help but stare. He's becoming everything to me. My heart breaks when he isn't near. I want to tell him so bad but afraid of what he'll say. Plus Emily told me about… about Bella and I'm scared he'll never love me. Jacob Black you're really something. Well goodnight.*
Jacob closed the book and sat there for a second. He was so confused his heart was beating a million miles a minute but was it because what she said or her feelings towards the thought of Bella? Jacob shook his head and left the room. Setting the blanket over Naru scooted off to the guest bedroom and called Embry. Jacob and Embry had a long talk and it finally dawned on Jake that he stopped dreaming of Bella she faded from his heart the day Naru came into his life. The night he saw her, the moon light hitting her fur and when she changed back her eyes sparkled. He knew that he was falling for the lone wolf the sly fox, he wanted Naru to be his. He eventually hung up the phone when he heard the house phone ring.
"Hello Tala Volpe residence." He said picking up hoping it didn't wake Naru but all she did was roll over in her sleep.
"Um this is Naru mother is she there?" she said slight un easy not knowing who picked up the phone.
"Hi Mrs. Volpe this is Jacob Black Sam sent me to see if things were okay. Naru is asleep at the moment do you want me to wake her up?" he asked he noticed he said everything so fast. There was a long pause on the phone but Jacob could hear noise in the background.
"No let her sleep just let her know that Granny is okay she started a hissy fit about some doctor not wanting to be near her. Dr. Cullen I think it was. Eh I don't know but please keep Naru away." She paused and Jacob could hear yelling in the background. "I got to go please tell Naru I'll call her tomorrow night." She said abruptly and hung up. Jake hung up the phone and sat next to Naru on the couch brushing hair away from her face. She looked so peaceful like an angel from the heavens above. She was different from the first day they met she had put a wall put to keep people out but once she fully joined the pack the wall was down and she smiled more and was at ease. An hour had passed before Naru finally woke up; rubbing her eyes she sat up and saw Jacob sitting there in front of her. She gave him a half smile as the day's events flooded back to her memory. She turned her head as tears started to form.
"Don't cry Nara I'm here." Jake said she instantly turned her head and looked at him. Nara was her true Native name only her granny and grandfather called her that and to hear Jacob say it was something different. He pulled her into an embrace and she wrapped her arms around his neck with her head in his chest. She listened to his heart beat fast and his breath on her neck. His lips lightly brushed against her neck and that's when she pulled away and looked up at him.
"Nara I have something to tell you." She said taking her hands from around his neck and into his hands. She finally released her breath that she was holding the second she felt his lips.
"Nara I… I am memorized by your strength, beauty, and the warmth you bring to my heart. His eyes locked with hers it was like he was looking into her soul it was peaceful. Naru didn't know what to say she just wanted to hold him, to feel him, she watched his eyes dance over her face. She took in a deep breath taking in his smell his aroma. She loved it, it was earthy something special. Jacob leaned in closer to her still holding her hands in his. He kissed them lightly and he felt she shiver under his touch.
"Nara… May I… I… Ki…" Jacob forced out with a raspy stutter before he could finish the house phone rang again. They both jumped and Jacob answered the phone. Naru watched his facial expression fade from nervous to annoyed. He let out a sigh and hung up the phone and headed to the door.
"Naru I have to go that was my father Sam needs me and it's getting late." He said with such sorrow in his voice. As he started to turn the knob Naru got up and ran to his side. She tugged on his arm till her turned. As he did she stood on her tippy toes and placed a soft kiss upon his lips. She pulled away and looked at him with a smile.
"If you want you can come back tonight." She said watching a smile take over his face. He nodded and turned and walked out the door. She watched Jacob run into the forest and disappear into the night. She closed the door and jumped up and down giddy like a little school girl. She grabbed her blanket and headed to her room the door was open and Harley was on her bed and moved the sheets and pillows. Naru's heart dropped when she saw her diary on the floor and hopped to god that Jake didn't read it. She looked at the clock which read Nine o'clock. She sighed and picked up the phone and dialed Emilys house.
"Hello?" Emily answered.
"Hi Em it's Naru do you have time to talk?" she asked hoping she did.
"Yeah of course what wrong is you're granny okay?" she asked as Naru let you a sigh of relief.
"I'm not sure and how do you know when you've imprinted?" she asked she never got to ask anyone before.
"Well from what Sam tells me it's when the one person that matters most to you is your soul mate you're everything nothing else matters. Your hearts are intertwined and being apart from them is devastating." Emily finally finished and there was a silence. Everything Emily said was how she felt for Jacob, every detail.
"Why have you imprinted on someone?" she asked due to the long silence.
"Actually yes… yes I think I have." Naru was grinning still happy as could be.
"Oh really may I ask whom? Is it one of the boys from the pack?" she said with a smile. Naru could tell Emily was smiling it was in the tone of her voice.
"Well… actually… It's Jacob Black." Naru said almost nervous. All of a sudden she heard a high pitch yell from the other line. "Em are you okay?" she said a little worried.
"Are you kidding me I am ecstatic! I'll have to call you back in a bit though Naru talk to you in a bit hun bye." She said and hung up. Naru looked at the phone with a confused look on her face and shrugged it off. She placed the phone back on her night stand and decided she was going to watch a movie.
Emily walked out of her and Sam's bedroom and looked at all the eyes on her.
"Yes?" she asked looking at the pack.
"What's wrong we heard you scream." Sam said looking at his soul mate.
"Sam may I have a second of you time?" She said as he instantly stood and walked over to her. She led him into the bedroom and kept the door a crack.
"Sam I have great news. Our little Fox Nara has imprinted." She said clapping her hands together.
"Oh and do you know on who?" Sam asked smiling at how happy she was.
"Yes! Our very own pack member Jacob Black." She smiled ear to ear. Sam sat there silent for a second and then he spoke.
"Well that's great I'm happy for him." Sam stood up and headed to the door.
"Sam you send that boy to her. She's going to want her Wolf and you are not keeping them apart." She demanded and headed to the living room before he could say anything.
"Jacob you should go check on Naru I don't want her to be alone." Emily said before Sam reached her and the others placing his hands on her hips. She looked over her shoulder at her own wolf and smiled sweetly. Jacob was out the door in second heading to Naru's house. All he could think about was the kiss she gave him. How soft he lips felt against his and how he wanted more.
