Kait's POV

It felt as if the pain was eating me alive. Not just the physical pain, though there was plenty of that to go around. No, the emotional pain was the most prominent. Shane had chosen Gabriella over me. Although I wouldn't tell either of them, this was one of the worst pains I've ever felt.

The physical pain subsided, but with that brought more capacity for the mental pain to fill. For days, I stayed in my room. Not eating, not sleeping, not doing anything. Why couldn't I just be like most girls and OD on chocolate after a hard breakup. I felt like I was slowly going crazy.

I looked around now. My room was dark, but still in it's obsessively clean state. I squirmed out of my covers and stumbled to the window. I threw back the drapes and the sun literally blinded me.

I had decided that I would go out today. To the beach. Maybe the sound of the waves whooshing and the breeze swishing through the grass would make me feel better.

After a quick shower and a closet raid, I ran to my favourite place. The top of the highest cliff. I had heard the stories about how my grandmother had almost drowned here, and my dad had jumped in to save her. I wondered if that happened to me, would my own prince charming jump in to save me? Probably not. My prince charming was off kissing another princess and fighting her dragon.

I don't know what came over me next, but I jumped to my feet and slowly walked to the edge. I looked the long distance down. I let myself go and jumped.

When my head surfaced I breathed in and out. That was such a rush! Suddenly, a wave washed me under. It was a struggle to reach the top, but I broke the surface. Almost immediately another wave pushed me under the dark water. I struggled to swim to the top. That's when I realized my foot was tangled in the seaweed. I was drowning. All around me things were dimming. Things seemed to shimmer around the edges. Perfect; there goes my happily ever after.

Then there was a flash of light.

I soon felt warm arms wrapping around me. I was pulled to the surface. By the time i was laid down on the beach, there were tears running down my face. I had fallen for someone who didn't want me. I had jumped because I thought it would solve my problems, and now I had brought an innocent stranger into my messed up life.

I sniffed the air. The smell was kind of familiar but different. He smelled like my dad and Shane, but not quite the same. He was one of the other new wolves. I opened my eyes to see big blue eyes. They contrasted perfectly with his dark skin and brown hair. He looked into my eyes in a way that was generally concerned. He also had this look in his eyes… oh my gosh! He had just imprinted on me! Hadn't this happened to me one too many times already?

"What were you thinking?" He asked gently.

"I don't know what came over me," I told him honestly. "I'm Kaitlyn. Thank you for saving me." I whispered, trying not to choke on my own limp tongue.

"I'm Bryan. I felt a pull toward here. Something told me someone was in danger. Then I saw you go under. I jumped in. Hey, aren't you Shane's imprint?" he asked like he was hurt by the fact.

"One of them," I grumbled.

"What do you mean?"

"He also imprinted on my twin sister Gabby. He chose her." The way he looked at me! It was like he was sad yet overjoyed that I didn't belong to anybody.

"I guess I should tell you then. I think I just imprinted on you." What? No romantic way of telling me, just "I guess I should tell you"? That was the most annoying, yet strangely appealing thing I had ever heard come out of someone's mouth. I smiled at that.

He looked into my eyes with a passion I had never seen in Shane's eyes. Brian was beautiful. Especially with the way the light was hitting his face. I suddenly realized that he was my second chance from some higher power. I could not allow myself to screw this one up.

I flipped us around, so that I was on top of him and kissed his cheek. I could see the joy in his eyes that I had accepted this. He looked into my eyes as if asking permission. I knew exactly what for too.

"You never have to ask," I whispered bring my lips to his hot ones. It was very gentle and short. I could already tell that Bryan was a sweet person.

He didn't say or do anything after that. Just held me in the most platonic way. He knew I was in pain. I was grateful for him to be there as we watched the sunset though. It was a sight better shared. Moving on was a good feeling. Especially with Brian there to help me through it.
