Chapter Seven
"imprinting?" Hinata asked dumbly. "What's that? The smile that had been on Jacob's face fell off.
"Wait a minute, Paul never explained what imprinting was to you?" Jacob asked. When Hinata shook her head, Jacob face-palmed himself for his mistake. He had assumed that Paul had explained to her about imprinting, but her not knowing just made things more complicated.
"Damn it Paul you idiot, you definitely owe me for this," Jacob thought.
"Jacob, what's imprinting?" Hinata asked while slightly impatient. Jacob cursed Paul in his mind again.
"U-Umm I think Paul would be best to explain it," Jacob said nervously. Hinata narrowed her eyes at Jacob, making him gulp visibly. "I'm here with you now, so why can't you explain it?" Hinata questioned.
"B-Because...well, you see..." Jacob trailed off as he looked fore a way out the sticky situation he found himself in. He looked to Bella for help and Bella jumped in.
"I think what Jake is trying to say is that Paul will explain it better," Bella said while slightly fibbing to save Jacob's ass.
"...I guess you're right. He is my boyfriend after all," Hinata said as a sheepish look appeared on her face. As she looked around in Jacob's room, she missed the relieved looks on Bella and Jacob's face.
"Well Paul should be at Sam's house since we have a pack meeting there anyways," Jacob explained as he threw on a black wife beater.
"Sorry but I gotta get home," Bella said as she looked at Hinata.
"Don't worry Bells, I'll make sure she gets back home," Jacob said.

After watching Bella drive away, Hinata and Jacob then hopped into Billy's truck and drove to Sam's place. As they drove, Jacob and Hinata got to know each other better. They arrived to their destination in no time. Hinata got out of the truck and as she hit the first step on the porch, she was suddenly swept off her feet by Paul.
"Hey there, I missed you babe," Paul greeted. He was in his usual attire: shirtless with jean shorts that rode dangerously on his hips. "Paul, we saw each other in the woods hours ago," Hinata said as she looked at her towering boyfriend.
"I know but it felt like forever," he said as he lifted Hinata up by putting his large hands just beneath her ass, making her squeak as she wrapped her legs around Paul's waist. As she adjusted herself, Hinata accidentally pressed up on Paul's groin, making him groan slightly.
"Babe, if you keep that up, I just might have my way with you in those woods," Paul whispered huskily in Hinata's ear. Hinata blushed profusely at the tone of Paul's voice as a throbbing sensation appeared between her legs. She blushed further when she realized the effect it had on her. Paul smirked as he smelled his girlfriend's arousal. He nuzzled her neck and said
"You smell so damn delicious right now." Someone cleared their throat loudly and the couple looked to see Sam and the others with smirks on their faces.
"Damn smartasses," Paul muttered as he put Hinata back on the ground. After fixing her dress, Hinata, remembering why she was here, asked Paul
"What's imprinting?" Paul stopped short at Hinata's question. After meeting with Hinata in the woods earlier after she tore the pack a new one, he's had this nagging feeling he had forgotten something important.
"Fuck, fuck, fuck! I forgot to explain to her about the whole imprinting shit! Son of a fucking bitch!" Paul cursed in his mind. Paul turned to Hinata and said
"We'll talk about this later after the meeting okay?" Hinata nodded her head as she and Paul headed into Sam and Emily's place.

The meeting lasted for only ten minutes. Sam was just basically going over patrol schedules and what not. After the meeting, Hinata and Kim helped Emily prepare a huge meal for the pack. Hinata, who had never seen them eat, had a shocked look on her face as she watched the guys stuff the food into their mouths with no regards to their health. Kim and Leah both wore disgusted looks on their faces while Emily watched in amusement.
"Do they normally eat like this?" Hinata asked.
"Unfortunately yes," Kim replied as she rolled her eyes at the way Jared shoved his food into his mouth.
"What do you think Hinata?" Emily asked casually. Hinata hesitated before saying
"I hate to say it, but you guys are pigs." Everyone burst out laughing at Hinata's remark. Paul got up from the table and pulled Hinata to his side as he said
"We'll back later." He and Hinata then made their way to the beach.
"So what is it that you wanted to tell me?" Hinata inquired. Paul sighed before sitting on the sand. He patted both of his thighs, signaling that he wanted her to sit on his lap. As she was doing so, he forced her around so that she was straddling him.
"Imprinting is basically our way of finding our soul mates. When we look into our destined mate's eyes, gravity suddenly shifts. Nothing else matters except our imprint. We can be that person's friend, lover, or protector."
"..So who did you imprint on then?" Hinata asked quietly, feeling sad.
"What do you mean?" Paul asked. "I thought that after explaining it to you, you'd figured it out immediately." Hinata sat there and thought about it. Her eyes widen when she figured out what Paul was saying.
"W-Wait, y-you...imprinted on me?" Paul smiled and said
"That's right babe." Without any warning, Hinata launched herself at Paul, making him fall on his back on the sand.
"Whoa, what was that for?" Paul asked while laughing. Blushing brightly, Hinata replied
"It's just that when you said you imprinted on someone, I thought you were talking about some other girl." Paul frowned and said "Never. I only have eyes for you and you alone, you got that?" Paul looked into Hinata's pupil-less eyes as he said this, making her shiver. Paul smirked slightly before bringing her close and nuzzling her neck.
"Did you know that you smell like lavender and honey?" Paul asked.
"What do you mean? I'm not wearing any perfume right now," Hinata asked while running her fingers through Paul's hair.
"What I mean is everyone has a distinct scent to them. Yours happen to be a delicious mixture of lavender and wild honey."
"And how do you know this?" Paul grinned foolishly and tapped his nose as he said
"It comes with the territory of being a wolf." Then he thought of something.
"How'd you know about imprinting?"
"Jacob" Hinata replied. Paul face palmed himself as a single thought passed through his mind:
"Fucking Jacob!"
And there you have it. Review time is now, so get to it people lol. =)
