Chapter 4

It didn't take long for Paul to pack his and Olivia's belongings. Even though his daughter's clothes were tiny she had twice as many bags. Not understanding why her daddy was packing away her toys she started playing up and hit her father. The little girl had a temper on her just like her father, something which had been noted before by Paul.

"Come on Liv it will be fun going and staying with Auntie Sue and Seth won't it?" Paul said.

"No," she stomped her foot and crossed her arms, her bottom lip jutting out.

Paul sighed he already felt guilty enough not being able to provide a home for his daughter and moving in with the Clearwaters was only temporary until they could finally get their own home so again she would be unsettled.

"Please baby girl."

Olivia ran out the room heading straight for Sam who was sitting at the table working out the patrol roster. The alpha picked her up and nuzzled into her hair. He didn't want the Lahote's to leave either and knew how his little niece was feeling. Paul came out carrying the last box ready to go into the truck. The shifter looked at his alpha pleadingly for help. Sam shrugged his shoulders, he had no experience with kids so was at a loss as what to do to help the little girl understand.

Paul wasn't surprised when Collin walked in no doubt feeling his imprints distress. Taking her from Sam he held her close to his chest and walked out the door not looking back. Sam and Paul looked at each other and shrugged. When Paul had the truck loaded he saw Collin and Olivia walking hand in hand down the street heading towards the Clearwaters.

"You know being her imprint he will know exactly what she needs. As much as you don't like the idea of him imprinting on her, right now she really needs him." Sam said patting his friend on the back.

"I guess. Look thanks for everything Sam. You and Emily.."

"It was our pleasure and we are sad to see you go. You know you and Liv are always welcome here anytime."

Paul nodded and pulled his alpha into a hug. For a moment the alpha seemed surprised but he hugged his friend back with a hard thump on the back. Without looking at Sam, Paul jumped in the truck and drove down the street. When he got to his daughter Collin waved him off pointing Paul out to Olivia who seems so much happier as she skipped along be side Collin. When he got to the Clearwaters Jacob, Seth, Embry, Sue and Brady were there.

"Collin asked us to come help. Said if we got her room set up for her she would be happier." Brady explained.

Paul didn't know what to say. Collin had a good head on his shoulders and the shifter couldn't have asked for a better pack of brothers who all grabbed bags and boxes. Sue had made up Leah's old room which Olivia would use while the she-wolf was away at college having giving up shifting for the time being. Seth and Paul would share a room as Sue said it was time Olivia learnt to sleep on her own it wasn't right for her to be sharing a room with her father.

The wolf hadn't seen the room until he walked in with a box of Olivia's toys. He was greeted with pink walls and a bed single bed with a lacy bedspread on it. Already Sue was unpacking her clothes and directing Jacob where to put her toys. Putting the box down Paul went to go back out and grab the rest of the boxes only to bump into Brady who was carrying the last of the bags in.

"Come have a look." Brady said leading the older wolf into what would be now his and Seth's room.

Seth's room was bigger than Leah's by quite a bit and held a double bed as well as a single one jammed up against a wall. In another corner was a desk with a old computer on it. Posters of bands and cars lined the walls. Paul went to the window when he heard his daughter's sweet laugh coming from below. She was sitting on a swing that was on a old oak tree while Collin pushed her.

"Dad made that swing for us. Its nice to see it used again." Seth said coming up beside Paul.

"Seth, I"

"It's okay man. I know you would do it for anyone." Seth patted Paul on the back. "Anyway you can have the double bed, since your the biggest."

"I'm fine on the single Pup."

"I insist. It's gonna be great having you here. I always wanted a big brother." Seth admitted.

Paul didn't know what to say and hoped the young cub didn't expect to staying up at night swapping secrets. Seth showed him where he could put his clothes and the bathroom they all shared. The young wolf never stopped talking until Jacob offered to take him to the beach to play soccer, but not before winking at Paul guessing the older wolf was beginning to have second thoughts. Embry waved goodbye saying he had to get home before his mom sent out a search party for him

He was about to join Sue in Olivia's new room when Billy Black called from downstairs. Sue came running out and slammed into Paul almost landing flat on her back. Apologizing profusely Sue waved him off saying she was used to trees getting in her way and should have looked where she was going. Darting past the wolf Sue headed down to her guest. Paul went into his daughter's room and gasped. Sue, Embry and Jacob had done an amazing job and the room looked like Olivia had lived there all her life. Her dolls all lined up and her toys in a box in the corner. On the bed was her favourite wolf that she never slept without. Even her pajamas were sitting neatly on her pillow.

Paul sat on the bed and put his head in his hands. This was amazing but when they left here he couldn't offer her all the luxuries that Sue had given his daughter. In the corner was a rocking horse and even a little table with a tea set on it a few of her teddy's waiting to have tea with their owner. He looked up when he heard a light tap at the door.

"You okay?" Brady asked.

"Yeah all good cub." Paul said standing up. "Better go see my daughter. Thanks for helping out by the way."

"I'd do anything for you and Olivia you're both part of the family."

They went and joined Olivia and Collin outside spending the rest of the morning exploring the garden. Sue had shown them a old paddling pool that used to be Seth's when he was little. Paul took his daughter upstairs and showed her, her new room which she loved and was happy playing with her toys as though they were new. The others had left the father and daughter alone to get settled until it was lunch time.

Sue had gone all out and made a picnic for them which they enjoyed with Seth and Jacob joining them. After lunch Olivia was ready for her nap. Sue insisted that she put her down while the boys stayed outside and enjoyed the rest of the sun. The weather was due to change to rain tomorrow and they would be back at work. The cubs were on summer break and Collin only to willingly offered to have Olivia for the day.

The boys were playing football when a attractive young woman came around the back of the house. Paul had never seen her before. He was shocked when Brady went running towards her and pulled her into a hug. Collin and Seth right behind him. Jacob and Paul watched trying to figure out who she was and what she was doing hugging the young cubs.

"You guys have grown so much. What have your parents been feeding you. Who are you friends?" she asked looking over at Paul and Jacob who were still standing there shirts off trying to catch their breaths.

"Jasmine this is Paul and Jacob. Guys this is my sister," Brady said hugging her against him.

"Sister?" Jacob asked raising a eyebrow.

"I've been at college. I remember you Jacob I went to school with your sisters. How are they by the way?" she asked.

"They're good." Jacob said blushing running his hand over the back of his neck.

"Well tell them I was asking about them. Maybe catch up with them soon while I'm here." she said her eyes the whole time on Paul.

Paul wiped his hands on his shorts before holding it out. Jasmine smiled and took it in her's. "How long you here for?" Paul asked.

"Depends really." Jasmine said licking her lips. "Paul right?" Paul nodded.

"He's the one I've been telling you about." Brady explained.

"Oh, right the one with the little girl. I would love to meet her."

"She's having a nap at the moment."

"Well maybe another time." she said still holding Paul's hand.

Someone coughed making the two pull apart finally. "We better go, mom will be wondering where we are." Brady said taking his sister's elbow.

"Nice meeting you Paul." Jasmine said smiling and letting her brother lead her away.

"Yeah you too." Paul said only after they were out of earshot.

"Dude did you imprint?" Jacob asked clicking in front of the shifter whose eyes were still staring where he had last seen Jasmine.

"No of course not. Come on are we gonna finish this game or not?" Paul snapped shaking his head.

"We're down a player now. Let's go to the beach. I'm sure mom won't mind keeping an eye on Olivia." Seth said going and picking up the football.

"You guys go. I should probably finish unpacking my stuff."

The shifters took off promising to see him later. Paul headed up to his room after checking on his daughter. He kissed her warm forehead and brushed the hair out of her face. She was so beautiful just like her mother. No one had stirred any interest in the wolf until today. Jasmine Fuller was stunning and Paul hoped she meant she would like to meet his daughter. She didn't seem worried that he already had a kid.

Shaking his head Paul laughed. Until he had a house and a full time job dating was off the agenda. Besides she was Brady's sister so out of bounds. Or was she?
