Disclaimer: if you haven't read the first three chapters, guess what I'm not Stephenie Meyer, and no time during this story do I think I will become Stephenie Meyer
Disclaimer Deuce: the title of the last chapter was the name of the song that's lyrics were in the story, I know that's not a disclaimer so much… well… erm… I'm awesome!
It worked! I didn't know if it would or not, I just speculated. I got the idea when I was talking to my mom.
* * *
I didn't really want to talk about this but it was uncomfortable Leah asking who my father was… I wanted to know too though.
"Mom who was my father?" she walked through the room as if I hadn't asked the question attending to the meal she was making.
"Who was my father?" I asked a bit louder this time, making to very clear I wasn't going to let it go.
"Embry honey, why do you ask?" I was getting frustrated, it might be Leah she had been getting on my nerves as of late, I felt betrayed by her, I'd never done anything wrong to her and why did she need to ask these questions. Why to me? What did I do to her?
"Because I think I deserve to know who my biological father is." She tried to say a name but I cut her off.
"I have three names and one of them is the truth, if you don't tell me the truth I'm going to leave this house and not come back, I'm eighteen now I think I deserve to know who my real father is." I was serious, I'd move in with one of the pack, if they wouldn't have me I'd sleep outside, hunt in form, sleep in the woods, it's just how I'd live but I wouldn't be lied to anymore. I stared in to my mother's eyes and she could tell I was serious, she looked hurt at first but then realized I was right, it wasn't fair that she'd never told me the truth.
"Billy… Billy Black is your biological father." I was surprised to say the least I expected that it would be Uley. I had a lot of questions not answered, but I needed to be alone for those.
"Thanks mom, I'm going for a walk, I need to think" I said heading outside.
"You're not going to tell anyone are you?" I shook my head quickly who would I tell? Why would I tell? I'd rather everyone assume my mom didn't have an affair with one of the elders. So many other things to think of like if Billy Black was my father, doesn't that make me an Alpha male?
* * *
When Jacob made his own pack I thought I probably could do the same thing, it's how I separated from the pack without Leah knowing, she probably thought I just phased back to human, in a couple hours when I was far away and I knew Leah wasn't following my scent I'd communicate with Sam or Jacob, whom ever was phased at the time. But right now I needed to focus on getting further in to Canada… Oh Canada I thought to myself ironically. I used their anthem to hide what I was thinking and now I was using their country to hide? No I didn't like to think of it that way. I was giving Leah time to choose, if she really didn't want to be with me I'd understand besides I had nothing keeping me in La Push anymore.
"Jacob... Sam..." I called out, neither were phased, It was about one a.m. I thought about calling Jacob but didn't want to wake anyone. Wait a second, he lived with vampires who didn't sleep anyway. I phased back to my human form and put my clothes back on. I was in a small town but couldn't tell where, this place would be fine for me, all I needed were deer to hunt. I walked in to a small hotel.
"Can I use your phone?" woman behind the counter beamed at me and nodded. Did I really look that good to other people? I guess I did. I punched in the number for Edwards cell phone. After three rings Edward picked up
"Hello?" he asked not completely trusting the other side.
"Hey Edward it's Embry, I need you to do me a favor and wake Jacob up for me and tell him to phase, I gotta go this isn't really my phone."
"Oh, okay." Was all he said but I knew he wanted to ask more.
"Hey I'll be back before the stuff for the car is, I'll be there to work on it, I just need to spend some time figuring some stuff out, letting other people figure some stuff out."
"I hope you find what you're looking for." I could hear the understanding in his voice, then I remember when he left.
"Don't leave for too long though, don't make the same mistake I did."
"Okay Edward, and thanks"
"See you next week." Edward responded
"Yeah, bye" I said turning off the phone and returning it to the receptionist. I made my way back to the woods I stripped and phased.
Jacob's POV
"Embry?"I thought to myself, I felt silly, I knew if he was an alpha he should respond but he hadn't.
"Hey Jacob." I was amazed, how did this happen, I thought I only was an alpha because my grandfather was Ephraim.
"Wait a second are you…"
"Yeah, I'm you're half brother Jacob."
"How long have you known?" I asked wondering, why didn't he tell me? It made no sense to me.
"I've known since about a week after Leah made a big deal about it, I cornered my mother and asked about it, I was wondering if I was an Alpha too, I just didn't know it at the time. No one else knew it either that's why no one wondered if I'd succeed Sam, I didn't tell you because it'd only be more awkward, and you're not as good at hiding secrets as I am. I'm sorry I'll tell you all about this." This was all too much for me. It made sense. I was speaking to him how I'd speak to Sam, only showing him the thoughts I wanted to show him.
"So you're my half brother, and apparently leading a third pack?" something else shot by his mind quickly.
"Don't tell Leah, if she phases, she can just make the decision to join my pack, if she knows about it." I nodded. I didn't notice Leah phase.
"I won't tell her." Then I heard crying sound.
"Won' t tell me her what? Who are you talking to?" Crap Leah has horrible timing. I couldn't keep my thoughts of Embry now. I might as well told her myself.
"Embry? You're talking to him? Embry? Are you there? Em!" she ended whimpering.
"He can't hear you, he phased out." I hoped that was a smooth enough lie to pass. If I told her I could hear her but she couldn't she would have known what happened.
"Why? Why did he leave?" Leah sounded like she was in real pain. I didn't have all the right words.
"Before he left he told me he didn't want to make you be with him, he said that it was his mistake, and if you didn't want him, he'd understand, he just needed some time until he was ready to come back." That was basically right. Embry didn't want to force himself on Leah, and if she didn't want him he was ready to leave.
"Wait what was that last part?" I guess I understood why Embry didn't tell me befor- "Oh Canada! Our home and native land! True patriot love in all thy sons command!" I sang until I cleared my head.
"He'll come back Leah, when he's ready to."
Yes I know it's a short Chapter, but the last one was really really long, and well I wrote this pretty late at night.
