Chapter 7
"Hey guys!" Brady exclaimed as Seth and I walked right into the meeting. Everybody from the pack was here, at Jake's and Quil's house, crowding the small living room.
"Cool, you guys made it just in time" Jacob said as he stood up in front of the whole crowd.
Jacob was now Alpha, since Sam had given up the responsibility and handed it off to the respective one. Sam was second in command, but we still respected and feared him as we had when he was Alpha.
Leah tapped the space next to her; she was sitting on the floor, resting her body against Embry's knee, who had been sitting on the sofa. Seth and I walked over. I pulled Embry's head back and kissed his hair, it had been a couple of weeks since I had seen him last.
"Hey, big bro" I smiled as I walked to the front
"Hey, baby sis" he smiled back. Embry was my best friend and the best brother I could've even asked for. He was the only thing I didn't regret having from my father, our irresponsible father.
Seth had managed to sit beside Leah and he pulled me down to sit on his lap. I always giggled when he did that, he always surprised me. He kissed me on the lips once and I giggled again in surprise.
"Ow!" Seth looked at Leah, who had slapped his arm to get his attention.
"Jacob's waiting, you can do that later" she winked at him and I could feel my face going red. She turned to Jacob, who was waiting, just like she had said.
"Go ahead, sorry…" Seth waved his hand so Jake could start talking.
"Thank you…um, ok, I first want to introduce you guys to the new member of our pack, Akeem. He phased a couple of days ago and he was with us when we chased the other wolf…"
Everybody turned to look at the guy sitting beside Ian and Megan, also new members of the pack. He gave a smile and a nod and then he averted his eyes to his hands. I couldn't help but smile just thinking how he might feel. I knew just how he felt because I had gone through the same thing a couple of years ago, we all had. I noticed how he looked back to Danielle, who was sitting behind him. She gave him a smile and a pat on the back; when he turned forward, she blushed beat red under her dark skin. If I didn't know better, I would say those two had imprinted, but I DID know better and they had NOT imprinted. They just liked each other very much, just like Embry and Leah did before they got together. But now, Embry and Leah ADORED each other, they couldn't even be apart for more than a few hours. You could see the love between them and, when he looked at her and she would blush like mad or when he proposed to her and they got married in a very small wedding. Fate had played a cruel joke on them by not letting them imprint. It didn't make sense!!
Jacob started to explain all that Akeem, Ian and Megan told him and Sam. He explained the situation from last night in such perfect detail; it was like he had been the one almost attacked.
"You have to say what happened last night, Lils. Maybe it could help us in some way…" Seth whispered in my ear as he squeezed me around my mid section.
I looked back at him and nodded. I waited until Jacob finished describing a scenario that seemed oddly familiar to me.
"You guys, Jake, I have something to say too" I raised my voice but kept a moderate and polite tone
"Yeah, Lily?" everybody turned to look at me
"Um, well, something pretty similar happened to me last night too" I said looking towards Megan's direction
"What do you mean?" Embry asked, I could just hear the hysteria rising up in his voice
"I got attacked by that wolf thing as I was leaving the studio" I said as I turned to look at him
His eyes were huge and you could see him shaking softly, the years of practicing control out the window
"Calm down, Embry, I'm ok…I'm here" I extended my hand out to him and he took it between both of his
He took a deep breath and then smiled, all relaxed again
"But I was there on the studio and I didn't see anything" Quil added, he was sitting between Jared and Paul
"It was after you left; it was like he waited for you to go…"
"Can you tell us what happened?" Jake asked, he looked worried too. Apparently, the situation is so much worse than we had thought.
"Sure, ok…it was so scary…one thing I'm pretty sure about is that that thing is just like us…it is human….but it just looked so wild…" I started to explain how it'd happened. Seth kept his hold around my waist and he would sometimes squeeze me.
After I had finished, Jake repeated what I had thought before "This situation is worse than I thought. All we know is that it is a pack, because we got two different attacks at the same time, but in different places…anyone see anything else?"
Everyone thought for a second, looking for some sort of link between the attacks.
"Well, they must know that we are like them because they have only attacked us, right? It's too weird to be a coincidence….they must know something" Leah said and she was right. Those things had something against us
Sam agreed with her and so did Brady and Danielle
"What else?" asked Megan, holding Ian's hand in her lap
"Well, this seems kinda dumb, but haven't you noticed that when they attack, there is always one of the girls around?...I mean, Megan and Danielle, then Lily…its just weird" Collin said
"So, you're suggesting that they are after the girls or something?" Seth asked
"Maybe…I don't know" Collin shrugged his shoulders "You saw what happened with that psycho leech a few years ago"
"Collin may be right, guys often do anything for the type of girls that can understand them" Jacob said, remembering some long lost love from the past
During the reunion, Jacob and Sam proposed that we all stayed in La Push this weekend and keep a look out. I had suspected that something like this might happened, so Seth and I had packed all our school stuff and brought out the laundry we had to do.
"So, where were you thinking we could stay with this weekend?" Seth asked me as we all left the house and some of the guys went to phase and start patrol. Our turn was in about six hours with Paul and Akeem. We had all agreed to have one girl per patrol and various guys with her, just to see how it went
"We could stay with my mom and Jason or we could stay with Lee and Embry"
Seth thought about it, I could tell he didn't like the idea of staying with anyone anymore than I did. We had gotten used to the fact of it being just us two that now, we felt uncomfortable sharing the house with someone else.
"Well…" he started
"I don't want to put my mom in trouble and neither Leah nor Embry would be in the house when we're there because they have patrol and…." I continued
"Yeah, let's stay with Embry and Leah" he said with a smile
"Yeah…but let's visit my mom, I haven't seen her in a long while" I hadn't seen my mom since her birthday, three weeks ago.
