A/N: This is the first chapter I've written in Embry's POV, so I tried to cover the first three chapters, and I'll post the next one tomorrow hopefully. Song is Time by Cute Is What We Aim For.
Chapter four- Time
Embry's POV
Whenever my heart beat, it would now beat for one person. "Venus, Venus, Venus, Venus, Venus," whenever we were apart. But when we were together it was "VenusVenusVenus, VenusVenusVenus, VenusVenusVenus, VenusVenusVenus, VenusVenusVenus," its like she was this drug and I was in withdraw when I wasn't with her.
When Jared told me that he and Kim were getting married, I couldn't have been happier for them. And when he asked me to be the best man, I was ecstatic. I had only met Kim's sister once, and she seemed like a true… freak.
At the rehearsal, I saw her, truly, for the first time.
She came running in to the community center in a simple spaghetti strap red dress and a black leather jacket. The red dress made the red streaks stand out more. As I stared at her as we practiced, I noticed that she had the most beautiful brown eyes. Now, these weren't normal brown eyes, oh no, they went all the way to her soul, and as she looked around the color seemed to shift and change. Her eyes were slightly slanted, and I wondered why. She was very small, but something about that drew me in.
It took me forever to catch her eyes, but once I did… imprinting was like nothing I would've expected. Some wolves described it as seeing the sun for the first time, or gravity pulling them down to her, but for me, oh, it was so much more.
The way it felt was like - like I had the worst heartache and it was suddenly gone. Like seeing her was like my whole life I was in pain, and then when our eyes met, I was pain-free. As I looked over her body, I had to fight with that organ in my jeans.
She was so…. Mouthwatering. Yeah, that's a good way to describe her. Like if she didn't get near me soon, I would tackle her and force myself on her.
She looked away, out towards the small crowd. She was looking for somebody. A few moments later, she sighed when a guy about her age walked in and sat down.
I automatically glared at him 'is this her boyfriend?' warning alarms went off in my brain. I turned to look back at her, and the full force of her glare hit me. I seriously, did not want to make my imprint mad.
As we were finishing up, she slung her jacket back on, and walked towards the man. I walked over to where Jared and Kim were kissing softly.
"Guys! I imprinted on Venus! And now she's with her boyfriend. What do I do?" I asked in a whisper-shout.
"Congratulations; you wont ever be bored." Jared commented sourly and I gave him a glare.
"That isn't her boyfriend! But go after her!" Kim pushed me towards them.
I quickly made it down the aisle and called out her name.
"What do you want?" she sneered to me and I mentally cringed.
"Be nice!" her friend scolded, hitting her right in her perfect boob with his elbow.
"Thanks for hitting my boob!" she said loudly, covering said boob with her hands. Oh, if only I could be those hands. Snap out of it! I shout a glare at the dude.
"Crap, sorry. I'll just… wait outside." he said and backed away from my glare.
"Thanks for scaring my friend off." She glared up at me
"Yeah, well, your boyfriend has a staring problem." I told her and she erupted into laughter
"Aaron… my…? Boyfriend…?" she laughed out between giggles. Kim and Jared walked up behind me as she leaned over holding onto her ribs.
"I told you they were just friends." Kim rolled her eyes.
"Whatever," I glared at her, earning two glares, one back from her and one from Jared. She started to walk away, and I started to panic. "What I was going to tell you was to be careful." I yelled to her.
"Yeah, road rash would look bad in the wedding pictures." she called over her shoulder as she made her exit. I couldn't help but watch her hips swing as she walked away. Even with those death traps (really tall heels) on her feet she was still under 5'6.
"I can't wait to see her tomorrow!" I gushed as the rest of the pack came up around us.
"Why would you want to see her again?" Rachel asked. I loved Rachel (as a sister) but she just didn't know how to watch what she said.
"BECAUSE I IMPRINTED ON HER!" I growled at her. I look of understanding crossed her face, but before she could apologize, I shrugged off the arms holding me back and walked out of the room.
I followed Venus as she went to her friends house. I learned a lot about her from listening in her window.
Her best friends were Aaron (who I thought was her boyfriend) and Sapphire, she loved to play the guitar and listen to music, she hated the 'cult' - great I already had a strike against me- she still missed her mom, which was understandable, she was still mad at her ex boyfriend for cheating on her and not showing up to her mom's funeral. Also, her favorite color was purple, but she didn't wear a lot of it.
I followed her in wolf form back to her house where she hung out with the girls.
When I walked into the house the next morning, she was still asleep on the floor of the living room. I quickly took off the hoodie she was wearing and walked out of the room before anyone saw me. I found her room and walked in, sitting on her bed.
I inhaled the fabric and her scent flowed around me. It was the most astonishing mix of raspberries, bamboo, and orchids I had ever smelt. I sat there for a few moments, just memorizing the smell, engraving it into my mind.
As more werewolves entered the house, I quickly hid the hoodie under her bed and made my way to the living room to see my angel still sleeping.
"Wake up sleeping beauty!" Leah woke her, shooting a quick smile my way. She groaned and rolled over. "You gotta get up. The boys are setting up the tent for the reception and you're in the way." she explained and easily pulled her up. Venus moved her stuff and walked into the kitchen without even throwing a glance my way. My heart hurt but I followed Jacob's orders and helped the pack set up the tent.
We quickly got it done and relaxed in the living room. Quil brought Claire over, and gave her to Venus, coming back down the stairs.
"She hugged me, dude. I'm sorry." he sat next to me and I could smell her on him.
"It's ok dude. No big deal." I said and shrugged it off as she came down the stairs. She was wearing the most tempting outfit so far. Short shorts and a tight t-shirt. Her hair was undone and she had no makeup on, but she was still breathtakingly beautiful. All of the other wolves looked away.
"Don't worry about them! They are just silly wolves." Claire told Venus, and we all stiffened.
"As long as they are silly ones." she smiled to Claire. She was great with children. I could just picture our children now, with her bottomless eyes and good looks with my high cheek bones and fit body.
We got ready and headed to the community center to get everything ready and calm Jared down. He was freaking out, thinking that Kim was going to leave him.
"I'm serious guys! She is gonna realize how fucked up all this is and leave me! I know it!" we had to force him into a chair and hold him down to talk some sense into him.
It was a beautiful ceremony, and Kim and Rachel cried, along with Emily in the audience. Venus didn't. it was a short ceremony, though, and soon I had Venus on my arm; I hope she could feel how right it was for her to be there, with me.
