A/N I'm so sorry that I haven't been able to get this out! I will try to be better. Though, I might not work on WildCat.

Chapter 3 Bella pov

I looked around us, we had walked farther than I thought. We were in the middle of the forest, and even my sensitive ears couldn't sense any humans. I had forgotten how green it was here. The trees covered everything, only allowing small bits of sunlight through. I sat down on a fallen tree, just a few feet away from Paul.

"Yeah, I guess we do." His voice showed no anger, no sadness, no emotion at all.

How was it that this man could aggravate me so much, but be the only thing that can keep me sane?

"Why did you leave without any warning? I can get not telling Jake, but me?"

His eyes were so guarded. It scared me, I had always been able to read him through his eyes, it had been almost like a tell. But now, now he was like an emotionless drone. His eyes no longer had the warmth that they held earlier.

"I didn't want you to try and convince me to stay. Jake had pulled my strings one too many times, Lauren had made one too many insults, and Alice had finally contacted me. I knew that if you tried to convince me, that I would do anything that you asked without a second thought." My voice started to wave, and his eyes hardened.

"That's bullshit and you know it. You and Jake fought so much that I don't think that you even cared what he said anymore, and you have always been above the insults that Lauren fucking Mallory sends your way. As for the leech, I don't give a damn about what she said, you still had the pack." His voice rose with each word he said.

I had gotten up during his speech, and I was now pacing, my mind whirling. I didn't know if I wanted to tell him or not.

When I finally spoke my voice cracked. "I had realized something, something that scared me. I know that I should have reacted better to it, but at the time, I couldn't." As I talked he walked up to me.

I know that with me being the true alpha and all, he couldn't hurt me and that I was so much stronger than him, but the look on his face had me backed up against a tree.

"And what the fuck did you realize that made you leave without a word? Do you know how scared I was?" He was so close, I could feel his breath on my cheek as he spoke. His body pressed up in mine as he looked down at me, and I up at him.

"I realized that I love you Paul. I love you so much that it hurt. But I was so scared. You had your reputation, and I didn't want to end up like one of those girls. And then imprinting, I was so afraid that you would imprint on someone else and-." My words were cut off by his lips. The kiss was fast and harsh, but it felt good.

When he finally pulled away all he did was stare at me for a while .His eyes weren't emotionless anymore, you could read them now. They were triumphant, but his face was calm. I reached up and ran my fingers over his smooth russet skin. He leaned down and kissed me again. This time it was slower, our tongues exploring echo others mouth, it was still deep though. I clung to him, afraid to let him go. When we pulled away for breath his face had a content smile on it.

"Listen to me, I'll only tell you this once, I love you too. I have loved you since I saw you standing next to Jacob that day. I love you so much, I only fought with you because you needed the stress relief. After you left I didn't touch a single girl. As for imprinting, you needn't worry about that."

"How can you know that though?" I pressed. "You could imprint any day on a gil so much better that me."

He seemed mad at that. "No girl I better than you, trust me. And as for imprinting, you could say it's just not in my destiny.

I would love some feedback, so just tell me what you think. I know its short but I just wanted it out there. Next one will be out soon, and it will be longer, I promise.
