My Destiny

Tam's just blacked out. But what caused it? Time to find out.

Chapter 4

Embry's POV

Jake eyes were staring into mine. Asking the unspoken. Quil already understood what was going on. He already experienced what's going through my head when he first set eyes on Claire. Jake didn't have to say anything deep down I knew he was pissed that another one of his pack brother have imprinted when he hasn't. Yet. And also that they imprinted on another girl in his family.

Shit. I'm gonna get broken bones like Paul did.

Then Quil, the hero and the asshole. Says something to Tamaya about getting to know each other again, and throws her over his shoulder. I'm worried that he'll drop her but I can't look away for Jake's stare.

I'm left alone with the angry Beta. Double shit. I should run.

"Embry. Please don't tell me you imprinted on my cousin!" It came out as a whine, so that made me marginally better.

"Erm. No." I said unconvincingly.

"Liar." He said with his palm over his face. "Oh well. I guess if anyone was imprinting on her I guess I'm glad it's one of my best friends, and not one of the cubs(Collin, Seth and Brady). But it doesn't mean I won't whoop your ass if you hurt her." He warns. With a smile.

"You know I wouldn't do that."

"Well, I guess I'm happy for you. If that's even the right term for imprinting on someone." He says with a disgruntled face picking up the forgotten soccer ball.

"It is." I said with a grin. Just thinking about her made me smile.

"You look like an idiot like that you know." Jake said glaring at me. I ignored the snide comment.

"Do you think her brother's going to phase anytime soon?" I asked.

"He should." Jake said frowning. "Sam shouldn't have asked them to come back here." I growled and started to shake.

How could he say that? How could he wish that they'd never came. I'd never wish that my imprint had never come to me.

"Wow! Calm down. I just meant that, Mika doesn't deserve this life. He's a good guy. Sam shouldn't have asked them to come back just to boost him numbers." I understood what he was saying and immediately stopped shaking.

"She's gonna be heartbroken when he phases. He's like her best friend. No matter how much they bicker. It will be like losing her best friend." Jake informs me. This makes me feel completely guilty, because I did the same thing the Jake and Quil when I first phased in case I hurt them. But I realised soon after that me avoiding them hurt them even more. Jake saw the look on my face and knew what I was thinking, and places a hand on my shoulder.

"It wasn't your fault Embry. We understand now why you had to avoid us. You were just protecting us. Just like Mika's going to have to do for a while with Tam's until he can control himself properly. But their relationship will never be the same again. So you'll have to kind of help her through it." To that I just nodded.

Jake was about to say something else when he was cut off by a scream. My senses were on high alert. Even though I'd never heard that scream before, I knew who it belonged to.

I quickly looked over to see Quil spinning Tamaya around on his shoulder at full werewolf speed. I was going to kill him.

"QUIL!" I shouted just in time to see Quil loosen his hold and an unconscious Tamaya fell in to a slump on the ground.

Jake and I ran at full speed over to them. With my heightened hearing I could already hear it but I needed to be sure. I quickly dropped to my knees next to her and pressed my index and middle finger against the side of her neck. And felt the steady thrum of her heartbeat. I let out a sigh of relief and turned to see Jake having a go at Quil about staying inconspicuous until Tamaya was ready to know. I wanted to shout at Quil myself but didn't have the breath to waste on him at the moment.

I pressed the back of my hand against her soft, smooth cheek. And felt that it was warmer than the natural human temperature, as was the rest of her body.

"Quil, you idiot! You over heated her! That's why she god damn passed out! Urgh!" I ranted.

"I'm really sorry I didn't mean to do that to her." Quil whined.

"Never mind let's just get her to Sam and Emily" Jake huffed getting in to his Beta mode.

I left my dirt bike at Sam's with Quil's car and Jake ran there. So we had no choice but to run. We took to the forest with Tamaya cradled in my arm, and ran at full speed in our human forms. I really hoped that she didn't wake up until I'd taken care of her. That would be a lot of questions that I wasn't ready to answer yet.

We got to Sam and Emily's in a matter of minutes. I burst through the door taking it halfway off its hinges. I got over to the couch that Paul was lounging over. But he didn't move from his spot.

"MOVE! NOW!" I roared.

"Why should I?" He snarled.

"Because if you don't, I'll break every bone in your body, then I'll wait till your healed, and break them all over again!" I yelled. For the first time ever Paul actually looked scared of me, which I was pleased of. Even at the present moment. He quickly scrambled off of the couch. Then from upstairs we heard the high soprano of Claire's crying. It's seems my shouting woke her up.

"Damn it Embry!" Quil whined.

"Yeah! Well karma's a bitch isn't it." I said back smirking. He just frowned and ran up the stairs. I gently lay Tamaya down and brushed her hair back from her face with my fingers. And I heard Quil run back down the stairs with a whimpering Claire in his arms.

"Here." Emily said for behind me. I turned to her to find her holding a freezer box full of ice packs. I looked at her questioningly. How did she know?

"Jacob just filled us in whilst you were screaming at Paul. I thought you would need these." She said smiling handing me the plastic box. I took it.

"Thanks, Em." She nodded and still smiling. She made her way back to the kitchen with Jared and Kim following. And I was alone with only my Tamaya. I put the box next to me to find kitchen roll in there too. I picked up the first ice pack, wrapped it up with some kitchen roll, and placed it under the cheek that was pressed against the cushion. I continued to do this with some more ice packs until her temperature dropped to normal again. And then one by one I removed them then just waited patiently for her to wake up. I was stroking her cheek when I felt someone walk up behind me and place a hand on my shoulder.

"She's okay Embry. You can hear her heartbeat yourself." Sam's deep voice informed.

"I know, but she still hasn't woken up yet." I said worriedly. Quil hearing what I said came in the living room and knelt down next to me, with his hands grasped together and put his head on my bare shoulder and pretended to fake cry.

"Please! Please forgive me Embry of my sinful ways. I need you in my life!" He cried. His idea worked. I burst into laughter.

"Get off you big baby!" I said pushing him to the floor. "It's fine now. You're forgiven." He jumped up and started skipping around the room. And now everyone joined in with me laughing. If you hadn't yet realised. Quil is the joker of the pack.

"Yay! Embry's my friend again! Yay! Yay! Ya-"

"Quil what the hell are you doing?" Tamaya said laughing. I quickly turned to her, but was careful enough not to go full speed. She just looked completely amused and not pale. So I was instantly a little bit better.

"Are you okay?" I asked worriedly. She smiled at me.

"Yeah I'm fine thank you. But, I am sorta pissed at one person in the room." She said looking pointedly at Quil. Quil quickly walked over to her from behind the arm of the couch, bent down and hugged her from behind.

"I'm sorry Tami." He said in a submissive voice. She patted one of his arm.

"It's okay. Just don't spin me so fast next time." She scolded and he nodded immediately. Sam walked up closer towards Tamaya.

"Hello. My name is Sam Uley. This is mine and my fiancée Emily's house. It's nice to meet you." He said holding out his hand. She's put her smaller hand in his smiling.

"Hi, I-"She said, but glanced at the clock and cut off. "Crap! My mom's gonna kill me I was meant to be back at eight. Urgh! Do you know how to get to the beach from here? Cuz I know my way back from there and-"

"Don't worry I'll give you a ride." I interrupted. She looked to me and started to shake her head. "I insist" I said.

"Okay, thanks."

"okay then, wait here a second I'm just gonna go grab a shirt." I said and she looked down towards my torso and her eyes widened and a smile tugged at her lips. I smirked when she blushed because I caught her looking and ran up to Sam's guest room and grabbed one of my spare dark green and black flannel shirts which were rolled up mid-forearm. I was still buttoning it up when I walked into the kitchen where Tamaya was talking to Emily.

"You ready?" I asked.

"Yeah, sure. Bye guys." She said. They all responded with 'see ya's' or 'bye's' .

"Oh! Tami?" Jake said.

"Yeah."

"Do you and Mika want a ride to school tomorrow?"

"Yeah! Thanks you're a life saver. Now mom doesn't have to take us. Embarrassing or what? Me and Mika really need a car!" She said.

"Okay Olenski! See you two tomorrow." He said and we walked out the door towards and I walked towards my bike. But I couldn't hear her behind me. I turned to see her staring at me with wide eyes.

So what is she staring at? We will find out next chapter and I'm gonna start speeding everything up a bit now so next chapter will be a split POV and it will be later on in the night and first day of school.
