Seth POV
This is probably the most nerve wracking moment of my life. I'm about to tell a girl who I only met an hour ago that I've imprinted on her, that I'm in love with her, and that we're soul mates. I took a deep breath and looked into her deep brown eyes. "Bre, one of our tribe's legends tells about Imprinting. Imprinting is when our inner wolf selects a girl that is our other half, the one that we were born to be with, our soul mate. It's when our whole world shifts and she's the only thing holding us to the Earth, our center of gravity is now around that one girl. We'd do anything for her, be anything for her. When we're apart we both feel pain, though the wolf feels the pain twice as much because he also feels the girls pain. We believed it was rare, but once again we were proven wrong. Out of seven wolves, I'm the fourth one to imprint. Bre I've imprinted on you, and even though I've only just met you and hour ago I'm pretty sure I'm in love with you. Will you be my girlfriend?"
Her reaction was something that I was not expecting; she tackled me off the bench and onto the sand in a giant hug screaming yes over and over again. I was ecstatic, I had a huge smile on my face and Bre was no different, I think her smile may even be bigger than mine. I could faintly hear Sam clapping but I was more focused on the girl on top of me hugging me with all her might. She loosened her grip after a minute and looked me in the eyes and said, "you know, I've always wanted a dog." I let out a growl and rolled us over so that I was on top then I started tickling her. She was squealing and squirming and trying to get free, but it was no use because I wasn't budging.
We both froze and looked up when Sam cleared his throat, I was embarrassed and I could tell Bre was because her face was bright red. "As much as I'd like to let you two continue, there's going to be a bonfire in less than an hour. I need to set up and you two need to go get your parents and make sure they're ready." We both nodded in agreement and I got up and held my hand out to Bre to help her up. She grabbed it with both of hers and pulled me down to the sand before jumping up and running away laughing.
Sam and I looked at each other in shock; Bre shouldn't have been able to do that. Her small frame shouldn't hold that much strength, she probably just caught me off guard and that's why she was able to pull me down. There was a tiny chance she may become a wolf because her mom's full Quilete and her dad's half, but that's unheard of in the legends. There's never been a she-wolf in the history of the tribe. I was about to share my thoughts with Sam but he cut me off, "I have a feeling we're thinking along the same lines. I'm putting you in charge of keeping an eye on her in case she shows any more signs of changing. We may just have the first ever she-wolf as well as a double imprint." I just nodded. I was happy that he put me in charge of watching over her, it meant we can spend even more time together. Excitement really kicked in when I realized that I might get to share all of this with my imprint. After she transforms and looks into my eyes, she'll know the power of the imprint.
Then I realized that Bre had just run off having absolutely no idea where she was going. I said bye to Sam and ran off after her. My jaw dropped when I found her sitting on my front porch steps waiting for me. She smiled and waved at me when she saw me walking up the path to the porch. When I reached her I asked her how she got here so fast without getting lost. She just shrugged her shoulders and said "I don't know really, my instincts just took over and before I knew it I was on your porch. Weird right?" the chances of her changing just increased. She just ran over two miles in eight minutes without getting lost, not to mention her instincts guided her here. I would check to see if she was running a higher temperature but with mine I wouldn't be able to tell, I'd have to have mom check for me.
Grabbing her hand I pulled her towards the door, "come on let's get our moms and then your dad and then we'll head down to the bonfire. The pack needs help setting up and if we don't hurry we'll miss out on all the food." We went inside and were nearly tackled to ground in a hug from both of our mom's. "Oh Bre I'm so happy for you, I had a feeling this would …" Bre's mom started before she trailed off. "Bre, you're burning up! Are you feeling okay?" Her voice was heavy with concern; I got her attention and signaled for her to go in the kitchen so we could talk. I turned to Bre and asked her to go get her dad and make sure he was ready.
Walking into the kitchen I was met with the worried faces of our moms. Bre's mom was the first to speak. "Seth, why is Bre running such a high temperature? It's almost like she's going to become a wolf like the rest of you, but that's not possible is it? The legends never mentioned any female wolves. It's not possible right?" I shook my head. "That's what we thought too Miss Donna but Bre's showing all the signs of becoming a wolf except for the growth spurt. Has she had any changes in appetite recently?"
Her mom nodded, "just call me Donna dear, but yes Bre's been eating twice as much as before the past couple weeks. Do you think she's close to changing?" I nodded. "Yes ma'am both me and our alpha believe she could change any day now. Sam Uley, our alpha put me in charge of keeping an eye on her, I'll be sure to take care of her. Any pain she feels I feel twice as bad, so she won't be harmed in any way if I have anything to do with it." Donna wrapped me in a hug and whispered "I'm so glad you imprinted on her Seth, she couldn't have found anyone better than you. Take care of my baby." in my ear.
Once she'd let go of me the doorbell rang, signaling the arrival of Bre and her dad. The three of us walked to the door so we could leave. When I opened the door my eyes landed on Bre. She'd changed her clothes, probably because she'd been to hot in what she had on earlier. Now she was wearing a short sleeved t-shirt with the superman logo, a pair of denim shorts, converse, and a superman flat rimmed hat. She looked amazing, most guys like preppy girls, or even athletic girls, but me; I prefer a girl who isn't afraid to show her geeky side, and Bre just showed me that she's that type of girl. She really is my perfect match. Now if she likes Pokemon and Harry Potter I'm most definitely never letting her out of my sight.
