PAUL POV

I didn't run far, I was gonna run up to the Makah rez to see Gramps; but I thought fuck it I needed some release. So I looped around and headed to Tayah's. I thought back to my earlier fantasy that was interrupted earlier. Squeezing those full D's in my hands, ramming my dick into her wet pussy. Out of nowhere everything changed. I was caressing smooth creamy legs and whispering words of love; Staring into the beautiful brown eyes of my Bella. Fuck. I couldn't even think about getting laid without this chick popping into my head. At some point I must have decided against going to Tayah's because I found myself heading to the cliffs. When I got there I phased, pulled on my cut-offs and just stared out at the ocean.

Sigh.

You could say I was used to it, feeling rejected that is. I just never thought that if I imprinted- not that I really wanted to, I mean who honestly wanted their mate chosen for them- but if I did I wouldn't have expected to feel that way because of her; because of Bella I felt an ache. A distinct pain in my chest, I could say it was similar to that of indigestion but that would be putting it lightly.

These cliffs held all of my secrets, most of which the pack didn't even know about. There was a reason why I worked so hard to keep my mind relatively impenetrable to my pack brothers. Some brothers they are, nobody questions the scars probably just some fight he got in cause of some chick. The moods are taken in stride with a pinch of salt that's just how Paul is.

I yanked my hair roughly at the roots until I felt a dull pain.

'Paul'

I glanced over my shoulder into the slightly fearful eyes of Seth Clearwater. If their was anyone who didn't deserve to turn into a giant vampire hunting wolf it was Seth, he should have been a Labrador or something. At only fourteen years old he was the only one who I wouldn't chew the crap out of.

'I heard what happened man'

I flinched at the reminder of my imprint but my wolf on the other hand hummed in delight at the thought of her.

'Uhm Paul'

I felt a hand rest on my shoulder and automaticly gripped it in my own and flipped the attached body and pinned it too the ground. I growled in warning to the threat and then sniffed the air. The scent of a brother wafted in the air around me. Seth.

'Paul man, I'm sorry but uhm Sam said we need to have a pack meeting'

I reached my hand out to help him off the ground.

'Thanks man'

He wheezed as I clasped his hand and helped him up.

'So what's this meeting about exactly?'

The only thing that had happened was my imprinting. I'd bet my left nut that Jake persuaded Sam to have this stupid meeting to rub all this shit in my face.

'Uh well…. you see..'

'Spit it out Seth'

'Sam thinks that we should discuss the current…uh..situation'

I didn't have to be a wolf to notice the way he stumbled over his words.

'What's there to discuss Bella's my imprint; therefore she's mine, end of discussion'

'Well you see Jake…..'

'Oh so this is about Jacob and his precious fucking feelings'

Silence

I pushed off of the tree and stood tall toe to toe with Seth.

'Come on kid speak up'

I could feel the wind start to pick up around us causing the trees to beat against one another. The sound of the waves crashing against the cliffs sounded deafening in my ears. It felt as though I was stuck in the midst of a storm, a storm that only intensified the longer Seth remained silent.

'Speak'

Seth's eyes widened as he took in what could only be described as the raw power in my voice. I could hear myself speaking words and yet it wasn't my voice.

'Speak boy, before I lose my patience'

His hurried words would echo in my ears.

'Jake said that he'd challenge Sam for alpha if you were allowed to be with Bella'

MEANWHILE AT SAM & EMILYS HOUSE

SAM POV

'What else do you expect me to do Emily?'

I reached out my palm and placed it against her cheek, rubbing softly with my thumb. She looked up at me and pierced me with her stare.

'I expect you to do right by Bella'

I sighed heavily and sat down, pulling Emily onto my lap.

'Paul could never do right by Bella; he's careless Em always has been'

She got up from my lap and stood propped up against the cabinets.

'There must be a reason why the spirits chose her for him, this doesn't make sense Sam; if Jacob were meant for her he would have imprinted like you would have on Leah if you had the choice'

I froze at her words.

'What are you saying Em… that you would have wanted me to stay with Leah even if I imprinted on you?'

She pushed off of the cabinets and strode towards me. I wrapped her tight in my arms and buried my head in her breasts.

'Of course not Sam, I love you, you know that, I just think that Bella should decide for herself whether or not she wants to be with Paul'

She rubbed her hands up and down my arms.

'Jacob is what's best for her Em'

She sighed heavily and gave me a small smile.

'I hope your right'
