Missy's POV

"What happened!?" I practically yelled as Lacey walking in the door. She had this grin on her face, and she was half-floating to her room.

She ignored me, opening her door. I grabbed it as she was about to close it, and I went and sat on her bed.

"What happened!?!?" I screamed.

She grinned at me. "He kissed me!" she squealed. I jumped into the air. "Way to go Lace!" I yelled.

"We went to this restaurant in Forks," she said. "But they didn't have anything without meat, so we left, and bought picnic stuff at the grocery store. Then we had a picnic at the park, and we went into the woods and talked. Then he kissed me!"

"Talked about what?" I asked, wondering if she knew the secret.

"Stuff," she said defensively. Oh my god, she did know!

"Oh, it's fine," I said. "I already know."

"No, I don't think so," she said quietly.

"About the wolf thing?" I asked, raising my eyebrows triumphantly as her jaw dropped.

"How did you know!?" she asked, her eyes wide.

"I have my ways," I said. "Collin told me."

"Collin?" she asked, her eyebrows pulling together in confusion.

"Well, you see, I heard Jacob and Embry and Quil talking about how Brady likes you but Collin imprinted on you. I also overheard them say a few other things about the wolves, so I went to Collin's house and sort of tricked him into telling me everything." I grinned evilly.

"Imprinted?" she asked. "What does that mean."

I felt my face turn red. She didn't know! Oh crap. "What?" I asked. "I don't know what you mean."

"Yeah you do," she said. "You just said Brady likes me but Collin 'imprinted on me. What does that mean?"

"Uh, well, er…"

"Missy, you're never at a loss for words! You always have something to say about everything! Unless you're trying to lie to me! You've never been good at that! I can tell!"

"Okay!" I yelled. "I'll tell you. Just, don't get mad at me, okay?"

"Okay," she agreed.

"Well," I said. "Imprinting is like a werewolf finding their soul mate. They look into their eyes one time, and BAM! They're completely whipped. Anything you ask he'd do for you. He can never leave you."

She looked like she couldn't breathe. I wondered if I should get dad. Then she took a deep breath and sat on the bed.

"Soul mate?" she asked. I nodded. "I'm Collin's soul mate?"

"I'm so sorry Lacey," I said.

"I…" she trailed off. "If only there was…"

"If only there was what?" I asked.

"I could go talk to Emily!' she exclaimed.

"Who?"

"The pack leader's imprint! She'd know what to do! Brady was telling me when he drove me back that she's like the pack's mother!"

"Good idea!" I said. "Can I come?" I asked.

She looked pained for a moment before relaxing and saying, "I guess. You already know anyway."

"Gee, thanks for the compliment." I rolled my eyes. So did she.

We looked in the phone book for the address o Emily Uley. It wasn't too hard to find.

Lacey's POV

I knocked on the door. A woman answered. One half of her face was beautiful. She had brown, almost shaped eyes and full lips. The other side of her face saw completely scarred. It looked like an animal had dragged it's claws down one side of her face. My stomach clenched together as I realized that's completely possible.

"Uh, hi," I said. "I'm Lacey Coleman, and this is my sister Missy."

The woman smiled. "I'm Emily Uley."

"Can we…talk to you?" I asked.

"Of course," she said, gesturing for us to come inside.

We sat on the couch. "Sam and the rest of the boys are out," she said.

"On patrol?" Missy and I asked at the same time. Emily looked taken aback. Then she regained her poise and said, "Oh, of course. I forgot you both knew. Well, yes, they are on patrol."

"I was wondering," I said. "You're an imprint, right?"

She grinned. "Yes."

"Well, is it supposed to work both ways?"

He smile fell slightly. "I'm not sure," she said. "I can't imagine living without Sam, but I don't know if that's how it always is."

I nodded. "And if I didn't feel that way about him, would it hurt him?" I almost didn't want her to answer.

"Yes," she said, quietly. "It would hurt him very much. But he wants you to be happy."

I nodded. "I can't help it!" I cried. "I just don't feel about Collin the same way I feel about Brady!"

She hugged me. "It's okay. No one's judging you. You've just been dragged into this world of mythical creatures."

Missy and I nodded. "I think that it's stupid that the guys don't get a choice of who they love," Missy said. "I mean, would Collin even like her without the imprint?"

Emily looked thoughtful for a moment. "It depends," she said.

"On what?" I asked.

She shrugged. "Lots of things. If he already had someone, he wouldn't, or if he hadn't met you. But if you ran into each other and started talking, Collin's a nice boy, I'm sure he'd like you even without the imprint."

I nodded thoughtfully.

"But I don't like him like that," I said quietly. "I like Brady. But Brady asked me out even though I'm supposed his best friend's soul mate. That's a pretty horrible thing to do. And what if he imprints on someone else?"

Emily sighed. "You just have to ask yourself if you like Brady enough to risk that."
