I tugged on my tie more than necessary.
It was purple. I didn't like purple.
Emily turned her head towards me, her smile was flattering on her beautiful face.
I could feel that she knew that I hated this tie. And the color. And I could tell she was ready to defend her color choice
"Its not purple" she would reply, brave "It's lilac"
As if that would make it better.
I turned my head over to the woman next to Emily, and it was kind of a shame that I noticed that her beauty paled in comparison to Leah's.
I saw her face, it was wrinkled in a frown for the most of the time, but whenever Emily looked at her, I noticed it was turned into a sarcastic smile.
It killed her to be here.
Emily didn't seem to notice she was doing more damage to her as we speak. Emily thought her pain ceased to exist whens he imprinted.
I mean, she was over Sam now, she had Nahuel. Who happened to be sitting next to me. He wasn't a part of the wedding, but Leah couldn't stand to be away from him.
It was kinda weird that she was with somebody else now. But I was happy for her.
The part about her not being happy, though, had nothing to do with Sam. It was for Emily.
It sickened her to see Emily's scars now that she was over Sam. She kind of felt guilty, like this was her fault. As ridiculous as that sounded
I knew this because I had patrol with her last night. Not really the cleanest mind to share with.
She was a lot more nice that she was with Nahuel, but nothing had pretty much changed.
Thats when I noticed that Leah was indeed a good person, the old her, was the worst side of her. None of us wanted that back
It wasn't like you could blame her.
Now, the positives outweighed the negatives, big time. And she still did contradict people, but hey who doesn't?
I just sat in my chair, bored out of my mind, as Emily talked with the photographer about getting a deal. Sam looking on with admiration. Emily was a bargain hunter.
Everyone else had their partners there, and I guess I kinda felt left out that mine couldn't show up. I didn't know her name, Emily said it was a surprise When I persisted, and nagged her to give me clues, she finally told me.
Apparently she loved to swim more than anything.
Despite that, I knew a lot of girls that loved to swim. It didn't really help.
I found it rather ironic, that I loved to swim too. I myself, was on the swim team back when I could be, in High School. Now I would be graduating next year, with nothing to do. My grades were pretty high, and I could get into college if I wanted to. I just don't know how long this wolf thing will last.
Jacob shot me a look, he was bored, and since he was the best man, he would have to walk down the aisle with Leah.
He really didn't mind, but they playfully laughed at each other as the poked fun at the idea.
They really became good friends, and thats why she was his Beta.
I remembered Quil being pissed off about that, I didn't really care, but he felt betrayed that he would choose some girl over him for the spot.
Jacob and Quil had a heart-to-heart, and he got over it. Leah laughed the whole time.
And really, I couldn't argue with that. Leah was a good beta. And Jacob knew how to choose his leaders, she would be best for the job.
Maybe thats why Sam's pack was so broken. He barley had given Leah a rank or respect for that matter. She was practically an Omega, and she hated it. Thats why she had faltered in her techniques.
But now that she had a rank. And a high one at that, she was able to outshine most of us in her speed-by an even greater distance and she was getting stronger by the minute
Sam would realize that he lost a valuable member. Leah was committed and when she was, she was efficient.
I found his eyes trail to her, he couldn't believe that she had been so happy. It made him happy.
Of course, he loved Emily, but he had a special place for Leah in his heart. As corny as that sounded, it was true.
Leah had grown her hair out. Just because she could, and Jake didn't care. She looked more vibrant and beautiful more than ever.
This was the Leah we used to drool over in the ninth grade.
I remembered that she told me, her cousin, she was very beautiful. And that she had dimples
This is all she told me.
I was left to wander on how this girl would look like, of course, I would take Leah's word for it, she probably was beautiful. The thoughts made me shiver.
Emily had even shared her perception of her. She promised that she was as stunning as Leah described
Apparently, this girl, was a comedian. She was funny. She was sarcastic, like Leah. She was kind and gentle, she was understanding and mature for her age, and she loved motorcycle's
I was starting to become more interested in this girl everyday. She loved motorcycles? That was hot. I turned out, that I knew who she was. That bothered me, how could I not remember a girl who loved to swim and motorcycles?
I shook my head, mentally, this was wrong.
Quil gave me a funny look, from across the table. He had been sitting with Claire, who naturally, was the flower girl.
Quil had no part in this wedding, mainly because he didn't want to be.
They already had pairs. Jared and Kim, Paul and Rachel, Jacob and Leah and then there was me and Quil. One girl left, who had been Melanie.
One of us had to take her, and Quil only had eyes for Claire. So I was left with this.
Collin and Brady and Seth were going to be those guys you met at the doorway and hand out pamphlets of the ceremony, I guess you could call them ushers? I really didn't care.
Emily just wanted all of the pack to be in this wedding somehow. It was crazy, but she really loved us.
The newer wolves couldn't really attend this wedding, their tempers would be too strong to handle, they were being tamed right now, with old Quil and Billy Black.
I found my eyes close, and my ears attempt to block out any of the cheapskate moves Emily tried to push on the photographer.
"So 50 bucks an hour? I think 45 would be much better. I mean, fifty is just ridiculous. Think about it"
I struggled to find a comfortable position to sleep in, and when I found that, my eyes closed in pathetic effort to finally get some rest.
Before I could have the chance recuperate; a motorcycle engine robbed me of my relaxation time. I gritted me teeth harder; but shut my eyes with greater force.
I wasn't going to wake up for a passing noise, so I kept focusing on sleep. Unfortunately the noise grew louder, until it paused to a halt. Someone decided to come late to this stupid rehearsal huh?
I still attempted to rest, this wasn't going to wake up because Emily just screamed "Melanie!"
I growled frustrated. It was a chick? Some girl thought she could come in here with what sounded like
XR '70 Harley Davidson, I mean she probably didn't even know what that even-Oh shit!
Did Emily just scream out the name of my escort? My eyes snapped open immediately.
Melanie?
My brain clicked – loved to swim motorcycles, Melanie Clearwater!
I searched around frantically to see where she could be until my eyes rested on the back of Emily's head, she was chit-chattering with some beautiful girl.
Melanie? The girl from school? I couldn't believe she was back, this must be fate.
My hands flew up to my mouth; she was to beautiful for words. My tongue couldn't dance the phrases, the terms to tell me why. The earthly descriptions didn't prove to be magical enough to explain her presence.
It was captivating
I remembered her from high school, I was practically in love with her. We were so close, so close, this whole wolf thing came at such an inconvenient time.
I thought restlessly about her when I first phased, I annoyed the guys a lot, but I didn't care. I wanted to bad to tell her everything, I could always trust her with anything
"Dude," Quil retorted, stuffing little cheese blocks in his mouth "Why are you staring?"
I revolved my head to speak "Look, it's Melanie, the girl from school. . She's so beautiful"
Quil rolled his eyes, but he did look. He too looked overtook by her breathtaking beauty. It looked as though he didn't imprint at all. "She's definitely a looker" he concluded, praising his attention back to Claire
"A looker?" I spat. "More than that"
"Hey," Quil cautioned "I don't see women that way"
"Oh so you're-"
"No" Quil ended my joke before it could live "I am not gay, now shut up"
I smirked before diverting my attention back to Melanie. God, she was beautiful. Before I could catch my breath, her eyes looked up to me. I was greeted with a smile.
"Oh" Emily introduced "You know Embry."
My heart stopped beating from the sight of her adorable dimples. I guess this was Emily's "surprise" It sure did shock me.
It picked back up again, my mind told me do something. I lifted my hand and waved it more silly than I meant it to be. She grinned goofy like, as if what I was doing was stupid. It probably was.
I dropped it back down ashamed, Emily gave me a weird look and that was when I figured what happened.
Did I just imprint?
I was breathless from her very essence of being, but then again who wasn't?
I did a quick scan of the room to notice every single man-even a couple women in the building had their eyes set on her, some sort of dark lust for her (excluding imprinters) like they were under her spell...
No. Not possible.
I mean this girl was gorgeous. But I didn't feel that pull that drove me towards her, in other words, she wasn't the center of my being. She wasn't my complete half.
Unfortunately.
I looked around again, to maybe change my brain functions on something else. I felt disappointed. A longing I actually wanted to be with her.
I noticed Collin and Brady looking at her with their tongues practically hanging. They couldn't control their pre-teen hormones as well as I could
Pigs
