Chapter 4

"He will be fine Mrs. Clearwater," I heard a familiar voice. I opened an eye and saw the blurry outline of Brady.

"Brady, you okay? Mom, can I have a glass of water?" I asked wanting to talk to Brady in private. I felt his warm hand take mine. My mother took my other hand which felt rather cold in comparison. Once the door was shut, he answered my question.

"I'm fine Seth," he sighed. "Seth, you shouldn't have gotten involved. I was handling it," he whispered.

"I am not going to watch you get hurt. Your pain is my pain," I said sitting up. Brady slipped my glasses on for me. It was only then that I saw that Paul too was in the room. He was pacing running his hand through his wavy hair. "What happened?" Brady looked at Paul who shook his head.

"We should let you rest," Paul said pulling Brady away from me. "See you soon kid," he said taking Brady with him who wore a soft blush on his face.

So much for asking Brady on a date, he was in love with Paul and I had not a hope in hell. Couldn't blame the dude really. I mean, who wouldn't want him. Although, I didn't know if he was into guys or not. Mom came back in and started fussing with my bedding. Normally, I didn't mind but right now it was pissing me off.

"Mom, don't fuss," I growled pushing her away making her stumble. "God, sorry mom," I tried to get up but couldn't, every bone in my body ached. With my head spinning I could do nothing as I watched mom walk out the room with tears in her eyes. Groaning, I hit the mattress and regretting it, my arms felt like lead. I couldn't understand why I was angry at not only her but, the whole world. No matter how hard I tried my mind was attacking everyone.

I hated dad for dying and putting us in this mess. I hated Leah for staying to attend college leaving me and mom. I hated Angela because she promised to write and I hadn't heard from her. Some friend she turned out to be. I hated Brady, Paul, EVERYONE but, one more than the others. When his name came into my mind I wanted nothing more to go and punch him in the face. My whole body began to tremble and heat coursed through my body. "JACOB FUCKING BLACK, I HATE YOU!" I shouted. My once soft voice booming in the small room as sobs racked my body. "I fucking hate you," I repeated like a mantra tears falling down my hot skin.

The door swung open and none other than the man himself walked in. "You're not exactly my favourite person either," he growled as he walked toward me in two large strides. "Now get your skinny ass out of bed and come with me," he said ripping my blankets back.

"Who the fuck do you think you are?" I said kicking and punching at him. In one fluid movement he picked me up and threw me over his shoulder. I continued to hit and kick at him to no avail. It was like I was an annoying fly. It wasn't until he slapped my ass hard that I went limp. "Bastard," I growled, tempted to bite him. I saw mom's legs upside down and tried to look up but, I was so firmly held I had no chance. Beside her I saw the legs and wheels of Billy Black. Once outside, the rain cooled my skin and it felt so relaxing and sniggered imagining the water hissing. However, it didn't last long when again I was unceremoniously thrown on the forest floor.

"You can return when you have cooled down," he said turning around leaving me without a backward glance. I stared after him in horror. Was he kidding? We had walked miles and he just dumped me. The rain broke through the trees that were not giving me any protection. I looked around, the night was coming fast. I stood finding my legs wobbly. My hair was plastered on my face. I lift my arms and tilt my head back. I was starting to actually feel a lot better and started laughing. In the distance I heard a howl but instead of fearing it, I wanted to reply and started heading towards it. My legs began to take long strides, the earth beneath my bare feet was slippery yet, I didn't fall. The more I ran, the freer I felt and didn't want to stop. I came to a wide stream running beside the flowing current. It was like something was calling me and I wanted nothing more than to go to it. I came to a screeching halt when I came to a waterfall. Panting, I looked down and see a wolf pacing back and forth. A calm swept over me and I sat and watch him. He was larger than any I had seen on television. I thought they were more the size of a dog. Yet, this one was more the size of a horse.

The wolf stopped and looked up at me before sitting on his hunches. We just stared at each other. I felt no threat from him, he didn't seem to want to attack. He pulled his head back and let out another howl. He suddenly got up and ran away from me. I wanted to make chase but, when I went to get up I felt something tickle my arm. Going to brush it off, I hit something hard and warm. Another wolf was laying on his stomach with his head in his paws. Again, I felt no fear and gently placed my hand on his head stroking him. He rumbled and huffed when I stopped. I was tired so I curled up against him, who for some reason made me feel safe.

"Seth," I was shaken gently. "Seth, everyone has been worried," Paul's voice said above me.

"Yeah sorry," I said blinking as the sun rained down on us. "Well who knew," I said letting Paul take my hand and pull me to my feet. "It does stop raining in hell," I explained at his confused look. He shook his head but smiled. "How far are we from home?" I asked as he turned and started leading the way, my small hand in his.

"About an hour. Think you can handle it city slicker?" he asked. I gave him a push but it was me that stumbled, not him.

"I'm going to kill him when I next see him," I grumbled.

"Good luck with that," Paul chuckled. "Jacob had reasons, Seth," he paused and sat me on a fallen tree.

"How did you know I was talking about him?" I asked.

"Because we know what you are going through. All of us have gone through the same thing. You will soon be patrolling with the rest of us," he took my hand in his. "Seth, if you ever feel angry I want you to promise to walk away from anyone who is near," I nodded and went to tell him I didn't normally get angry. "You are going to staying at Sam's house when you finally join us, until you can control your," he looked up. "Brady," he said holding out his hand. Blushing, Brady went and took his hand and settled at his side.

"What the hell is going on?" I asked.

"We can't tell you everything just yet Seth," Brady said his other hand resting on Paul's arm. "But, you have to trust us especially Jacob," he said.

"Not going to happen. That asshole dumped me in the middle of the forest," I growled my body beginning to tremble and my anger bubbling up at the sound of his name.

"Move back Brady, he is going to explode," Paul said putting himself between me and Brady. Paul stepped closer to me making me growl in warning. "Want to take a swing at me, that's fine but you touch Brady and you will be feeling me hurting you," he growled he too was trembling.

"Paul?" Brady said touching his back. "He won't hurt me," he said looking at me for confirmation. One look at Brady and my body calmed down. He looked at me with a sad smile on his face as he stepped back from Paul. The large guy pulls me into his hot body, my head right on his peck.

"You and Brady are in my care from now on," he said pulling Brady into his chest as well. Brady blushes as he wraps his arm around his friend's waist.

"Pinch his ass" I mouthed. Brady gave a small giggle making Paul pull him tighter to him. I moaned. "Paul as much as I love this, I'm dying here," I said trying to push away from his overheated body. "You guys are hot," I moaned. I stood back but Brady was still wrapped in Paul's protective arms.

"We better get back, the others are waiting for us," Paul sighed taking Brady's hand and leading us home. Brady grabbed my hand and the three of us walk in a line one behind the other. We stepped out of the forest on land I didn't know, the house not familiar to me.

The door opened and Sam Uley stepped out with a smile on his face. "Good, you're safe," he said waving Brady and me inside the door shutting behind us. The enticing aroma of fresh muffins surrounded me. A beautiful woman came and hugged me. Shocked, I hugged her back.

"Seth, welcome. I'm Emily your cousin. Come and eat, the others are moaning," she said. Swinging the kitchen door open, I was surprised to see all the guys from the table at school. Only one was missing. They all started grabbing food only for Emily to slap their hands away. "We have a guest boys," she pushed Quil out of his chair and waved me to sit down. "You must be hungry?"

I was starving. I wasn't normally a big eater but, I could eat the whole table full of food and doubted I would be satisfied. I began eating and the others dived in once they thought I had enough on my plate. Paul and Sam soon joined us and Paul went to Jared and hit him over the head. "What do you have to say?"

"Sorry,"

"And," Paul asked.

"I'm an asshole and it will never happen again," he said although I didn't think it was very convincing. I looked at Brady who just nodded and began once again eating.

"Shit, mom!" I jumped out of my seat only to be pushed down by Sam.

"She has been informed that you are safe and well. Today you can stay home and perhaps let us get to know you and vice versa," he said.

"Um okay," the others cheered. Sam chuckled but, said nothing else just wrapped his arm around Emily. It wasn't until she turned into his chest that I saw a scare that looked like she had been attacked by a large animal. It ran from the top of her cheek to the middle of her neck. I wondered what the hell attacked her and how she had survived.

The door once again opened and in walked none other than Jacob. He didn't look at me and just helped himself to the food and took it through to another room not acknowledging anyone. "What's got his panties in a bunch?" Embry asked.

"Leave him be," Sam said making it sound like an order. Huffing, I continued eating but never took my eyes off the door hoping that somehow I would burn him with super powers. It wasn't until someone burped that I turn away from it. "You okay?" Paul asked placing his large hand on my shoulder.

"Need some fresh air," I said getting up and running outside. Taking deep breaths, I tried to calm the anger that was building up. I heard the front door open and close but I didn't turn around. I knew exactly who it was and I refused to acknowledge him.

"Feeling better?"

"No thanks to you. What the fuck is your problem with me, Jacob?" I asked turning around. His face was sullen and he ran his hand over the back of his neck not looking me in the eye. "Well?" I growled my body beginning to tremble.

"You don't belong here. We already have one like you," he growled back.

"Like what exactly?"

"You know what I mean, Seth. It's obvious you're gay," he sighed.

"You don't want me here because I am gay?" god, what an idiot.

"No, I don't care that you're gay. It's just," the door behind him opened and Paul came out. Patting Jacob on the shoulder, he walked to me where I happily accepted his hug. Paul rubbed my hair as I heard the front door shut again. "I can't help I was born this way," to my horror I began to sob holding tighter to Paul's waist. "I hate him."

Paul held me tighter. "I don't think you do, Seth," he kissed the top of my head. "Get to know him and the others. They are a great bunch of guys and they have your back. Never forget that," he said. I wiped away the tears. "Why don't we go for a run; you, me, and Brady?"

"I don't run," I scoffed. Only time I ran was when I was being chased by homophobes.

"You sure?" Brady asked. He took off at a run and Paul on the chase. "Come on, old dog," Brady called out.

"Why you little," they were gone their laughter blowing in the wind. I looked at the house then where my friends were heading to. Without a second thought I ran trying to catch up. A few times I lost them from my vision but somehow, I knew which direction they were going. I heard a shout and laughter from Brady.

"Watch who you call old, cub," Paul laughed. He had Brady on his back his hands above his head while he straddled his waist. I tackled Paul knocking him off Brady who quickly jumped on top of Paul as well.. For the first time since my dad died I actually laughed just forgetting my life sucked.

"Hey, two on one how is that fair?" Paul said grabbing us both by the waist and sitting up.

"Your twice as big as us," I squeaked as he suddenly somehow got up still holding us both by the waist and our feet off the ground.

"Are you calling me fat?" he growled. Brady burst out laughing causing me to join in. It was as though me and Brady were light as puppies as he ran with us under his arms.

We came back to Sam's house and he dropped us on the ground right in a big puddle making us both shriek with laughter. Paul didn't stop and ran inside as we were picking ourselves up. Embry came out with towels and stood on the porch. We were heading over to him when suddenly we were charged at by Colin with a hose in his hand and squirted us.

We heard laughter mingled with our shouts as the freezing water stung our skin. Colin finally turned the hose off and stood there grinning like an idiot. Embry came forward and wrapped a towel around me and then Brady. I was so cold, I just wanted to jump into a hot bath and soak. Embry led us inside only for Emily to tell us to remove our wet clothes. Brady stripped without hesitation although his towel did remain covering his privates. He and the others went inside leaving me shivering outside. Sighing, I took my clothes off and reluctantly walked inside. I was a runt compared to these guys. I was waiting for the howls of laughter however, they never came. Instead, Paul pulled me into a hug and pointed me to the bathroom. Closing the door, I gladly stepped into the hot bath someone had kindly drawn for me.

I could hear the others talking through the door and heard loud voices but, I couldn't make out what the argument was about. There was a lot of banging as though things were being thrown and it finally made me decide it was time to get out. I found some clothes on a stool and picked them up. They were about my size and I put them on ready to go see what the commotion was about.

"You're a fucking idiot, Jake," Paul growled just as I opened the door. "She doesn't like you that way. She is using you to get to him."

"Fuck off Paul. You don't know what you're talking about. For your information, we went the whole way last night," Jacob said with smugness in his voice.

I went to stand by Brady who was staring at Paul and Jacob. I nudged his shoulder making him turn and look down at me. Was it my imagination or was he almost the same height as me? He took my hand giving it a gentle squeeze.

"So, she finally let you dip your dick did she? Proves she's a ho," Paul growled. Jacob made for Paul but, Brady launched himself between them. The fist that was meant for Paul landed on Brady making him fall to the ground out cold.

"Fuck," Jacob said trying to pick Brady up only to thrown across the room by a very pissed Paul.

"Don't you touch him again or I will kill you," Paul said as he gently picked up my friend and took him to the couch where he cradled him on his knee. Jacob stormed out the house with Sam going after him. Emily calmly walked in with ice and placed it on Brady's now swollen cheek.

I was trembling out of anger. How dare Jacob do such a thing! Brady had done nothing wrong yet, he was the one out cold. "He's about to explode," someone grabbed my arm forcefully and dragged me outside. "Deep breaths Seth. You don't want to get angry, you're not ready yet," Embry said.

"I am fucking pissed. No one touches my friend, not again," I growled staring at Jared who looked abashed.

"Seth, come here," Paul said stepping outside with Brady standing in front of him. Huffing, I walked to my two friends. Brady opened his arms and I walked into them being wrapped in both his and Paul's arms. I felt myself relax being cocooned in strong yet, gentle arms. My trembling body ceased. I let out a sigh before sinking to the ground, everything going black.
