Chapter 6
I couldn't believe it I was the new Beta the one that would act as alpha while Jake was gone? It seemed crazy like I was having an outta body experience. I was used to being a wolf but to be a Beta was a totally different thing. " Well congrats man." Says Quil. " Yeah man you must be stocked." Says Seth sounding a little disappointed. " I guess I think I just need some time to process it." I say standing up. "I understand Embry it's alot to take in. But Jake & I have total confidence in you. I just thought you should know that. Since Jared, Paul, Leah & I are going to stop phasing Collon will take the night shift and Seth will take tomorrow nights shift." Sam says. With that we all stand up and leave. " Wow that was interesting." Says Seth as we make our way to the beach in our denem cutoffs with no shirts. " Yeah I was not expecting that." I say still dazed. " You will do a great job Embry. I've known you my whole life you have always been a leader it'll just come natural." Quil says with a soft smile. " I hope your right." I say. Just then a beat up Volkswagen bug drives past. I keep my eyes carefully trained on the ground while both Seth and Quil look to see just who it is inside. " it's Kiya." Quil says. "Why couldn't I just imprint on her. She's smart loves La push & she is Beautiful & the best part is she doesn't even know it." Seth says longingly. " chill man it'll happen eventually." Quil says. " Well I have to go help mom move into Charlie's." And with that Seth was gone. " let's go get my truck and the Fishing stuff so we can go." Quil says. With that we left the beach and headed home. As we gathered the fishing stuff and shirts we realized we needed worms and fishing line. As we pulled up to the little shop I saw the same beat up Volkswagen bug from this morning. As we made our way inside I heard a sharp intake of breath that I wasn't even sure she was a were she made. Quil & I shared a look and went over to the live worms. Then Quil went to ask about some fishing line. All the sudden Claire walked in "Quil! " she calls. Quil turns around a huge smile spreading across his face. " Claire Bear! I've missed you. Would you like to go fishing with me and Embry?" He asks. I chuckle. " So much for that guy time huh?" I say. Quil gives me an apologetic smile and a shrug. " yes I wanna go! But I have to ask aunt Emily first. She's supposed to be keeping me today." Claire says. " And where is she sweetheart?" He asks. " She's at the supermarket. I saw your truck out front & begged her to let me stay with you." She shrugs. " well you can always stay with me sweetie." He says with a chuckle. " thanks Quilie! She giggles. " well I'll buy the stuff and we will be on our way." I say as I make my way to the counter. With expert hands Kiya tallies up the cost. I'm careful to keep my eyes on her hands. " It'll be $10:50." She says. At the sound of her musical voice I can't help but look at her face. In a split second my eyes find hers & the world shifts.
