Sam
The biting cold wind and drizzle stung as it hit my face. It had grown very dark and somewhere in my pain and desperation to follow him, I tripped. The world seemed to spin around me. All seemed hopeless. Edward left me alone and I was going to die here in the woods of exposure or being eaten by some wild animal. How ironic would it be that possibly another vampire would come and drain me. I didn't care. He left me as a shell of a person. There was nothing left for me but a horrifyingly empty void. Suddenly I became aware of footsteps and breathing near me. I saw nothing in the bleak darkness. After a brief shuffling, man approached me, "Bella? Are you okay?"
"Yes, I just tripped and I'm kind of out of it."
He picked me up and began to carry me. I looked up at his face and our eyes met. He smiled softly, "My name is Sam Uley."
"That's right, I heard you mentioned before. You are a friend of Jake's."
He nodded. We just continued to stare into each other's faces while Sam carried me home. He was strong, able to hold my weight with ease. I let my body press into his. He was so warm, it helped ease the chill. I'm sure my lips had been purple when he found me, but I was now beginning to regain feeling in my system.
I studied his features and began to notice that I felt a connection to him. By the look on his face, he felt something, too. He could not stop staring at me. As soon as we showed up on the lawn of my house. Charlie ran up to grab me, "oh my god, Bella. You scared me!"
Sam refused to let him have me but brought me inside the house and sat down with me. Jake and Billy and Harry with Dad all followed us inside.
"I'm okay, no harm done."
"What happened?" Billy asked.
"Edward broke up with me. I tried to follow him into the woods but I tripped and hit my head. They are gone. They are all moving away."
"Relief flooded Sam's, Billy's and Harry's faces the most, but also Jacob's and Dad's. Dad was never comfortable with him, with good reason. Jacob missed me hanging out because I was always clinging to Edward."
Edward. He seemed more like a distant memory now. Why was I so suddenly better?
"Well now, I think we should all let Bella get some rest. You will call if you need anything. Boys?" Billy rounded up the group. I felt a tug on my heart when they were leaving.
"Sam!" He turned instantly and walked back over.
"Thank you for saving me." I gave him a hug then I whispered, "It hurts."
He looked down at my face. "Me too. Do you want me to stay awhile."
I nodded.
"Billy, um. I need a word with you, Harry and Charlie in the kitchen. Bella, I will be right back."
Jake stood awkwardly away from me with his hands in his pockets. "I'm happy you are all right. Maybe we can hang sometime?"
I smiled, "Sure, Jacob. You're my best friend. I'm sorry I haven't been the greatest friend lately, but I promise I'll change that."
We stopped talking once the atmosphere in the kitchen got more excited. Suddenly it went quiet and they all walked back. Sam came and put his arm around me. Dad didn't seem to mind and Harry left silently with Billy and Jake.
Dad brush his hands together, "Well, I guess I'm going off to the station to call off the search and do some paperwork. Try to get some rest, Bells. I'm glad you are okay." He kissed my forehead, nodded to Sam and walked out the door.
I turned to Sam and he smiled and gave me a really big hug. I had never felt this much affection my entire life. "What is happening? What did ya'll talk about?"
He sat me down. "You have heard the quileutte legends. I know Jacob told you. I am one of those and now I am actually the Alpha."
"You mean they were true, you turn into wolves and kill vampires?"
"Yes, Bella. Not the Cullens, though we had a treaty with them, but that is our job."
"And you are the head of the pack."
"Temporarily. It is in Jacob's blood to lead. Once he changes it will be his responsibility to take over the Alpha role."
"Sam what was it that I feel with you and I why did it hurt when you were leaving?"
He smiled, "It's another Quileutte thing, it is called imprinting. It means our souls connected and I will be here with you, for you however you wish it?"
"Like soul mates?"
"Much more basic than that. it doesn't have to be romantic. once the imprinted chooses to accept it, they choose if they need them as a brother, father, friend, lover..what ever. You became my center of gravity, Bella. Anything you wish I will do for you. I'll always be here."
"Sam, that is a strong connection. Will it always hurt when we are apart?"
"I think it is a distance thing. Luckily you are close by, but Charlie is considering a move. That is if you accept the imprint and become part of the tribe."
"So ya'll told Charlie?"
"Yes, he left us alone to talk."
"I accept the imprint, Sam. I want to be around you, get to know each other."
"I can live with that."
"What does that mean?" I cross my arms.
"Well, I'm attracted to you, Bella. Also my wolf is a little anxious for an intimate relationship with you."
I blushed from head to toe, my body reeling from his declaration. Woah.
"I'm just telling you like it is Bella. I'm sorry to be forward."
"No it's okay. I just want to slow down. I just got off a very precarious relationship. It's not that i still have feelings for him. I nearly forgot him completely the moment I met you. It's just that he left me, quickly and coldly. I know that you said that you are here for me, but I need to see that for myself."
Sam lifted me up and swung me around, "Thank you, Bella. I will show you there is nothing to worry about." He set me down on my feet, again and gave me a quick chaste kiss on my forehead making me blush again. "Just something to think about."
He went to the door. "I won't be far. I have to patrol but it won't be very far from the house. Thank you for accepting the imprint. I really don't know what I would have done without you."
I laid on the couch where he sat and clutched on the pillow cushion until I drifted off to sleep. That was the first of many nights my dreams were filled with Sam. Sam the wolf, and Sam the man. United, they were my life, my protection and as the weeks went by and Charlie and I moved to the Reservation, I began to allow other feelings for him grow. He was always there for me. He craved nearness as much as I did.
We held hands and went on walks. He took me to a drive-in where we kissed for the first and second time. The second was longer and I ended up letting him feel me up over my shirt. After that night, I saw him in my dreams as a lover.
I woke up early the next day and walked over to his house. I let myself in and made his favorite breakfast. It did not take long before I felt his presence in the room. "Good morning, Sam." He wrapped his arms around me and kissed me full on the mouth.
"Mmm, this is such a sweet surprise. Thank you Bells."
I waited until he was down to his last few bites. "So I've been thinking."
"Yes?"
"I am ready, Sam."
He dropped his fork. "What?"
"I want to be with you, I want to be yours, fully."
Immediately it dawned on Sam and he wasted no time moving us to his bed and removed all our clothing. Full on passion for me was on his face and in his voice. My body responded quickly. "Oh, Bella. I want you so badly. I love you."
"I love you, Sam."
"Do you remember what I told you about claiming?"
"Yes. You have to bite me." The thought, instead of making me cringe, it excited me more and my arousal became more evident. "I'm yours completely, Sam."
"Before, I do that, I have to have a taste of you." He proceeded to go down on me. I was seeing stars and this was only the beginning.
"Oh, Sam. I need you. Please."
"Bella, you are.. Fuck. I have to be inside you." I felt his erection pressing against the entrance. It was only painful right at first. Then as I acclimated to the fullness, I craved more of it. Sam thrust into me harder and faster. "Ah, you are so tight-feel. !"
I shot off into into another orgasm and just like that he flipped me over and thrust back into me from behind. I felt him quicken, then he sunk his teeth into my neck as his seed spilled into me. Once again I was riding out another orgasm.
When he pulled out, he laid down and pulled me close to him. "Bella, you are so amazing and beautiful. I am one lucky guy."
"I know now where I belong and that is with you. I think the ancestors had it right when they put us together. I love you."
He smiled and took my hand and interlaced his fingers with mine, "Then I have a favor to ask."
"Anything."
"Will you move in with me?"
