Chapter 8: The Lone Wolf
Quil's POV
I was getting ready to head out to the bar with the crew and our new additions. I am glad that everyone was so welcoming to Sophie. As her adopted big brother it was important to me that everyone thought she was cool. I was a little bit worried about this thing she has going on with Seth. I mean I have no doubt she can handle herself, but when I smelled her all over Seth when he came down to the beach I went into protective mode. Seth has a way with the ladies and I wanted to be sure he was respectable to Fifi.
"So I see you and Fifi aren't wasting any time getting to know each other," I said to him as we both walked out of our rooms.
"Yeah man, I can't get over how hot she is. I know she's a little older than me but we are definitely gonna have some fun while she's in our sleepy little town."
"I'm only gonna say this once Seth, just be honest with her. Make sure she knows your intentions. I won't be afraid to flip your scrawny little whoring ass all the way to Forks if she's hurt."
"As if you could flip me anywhere you brawny steroid using mother fucker. But I get what you're saying, don't worry. I really like her too she's a cool ass chick."
"Hey assholes, Bella's not going want me out all night and Quil you have somewhere to be in just over an hour so let's get the party moving."
"Jake you are one whipped pansy ass. Aren't you supposed to be second in charge?" We loved giving Jake shit when it came to him and Bella, he could be second in charge, but he still had to answer to the Mrs. Seth laughed and joined in. "I know you 'leaders' are too funny. Can you imagine when Sam imprints; I can't wait to see his lady put him in place. I better be wearing depends when it happens because I will surely piss myself from laughter."
We walked outside just as Ben and Fifi were walking over from their house. "Fuck. Me. Is this girl trying to slowly kill me?" Seth said as she sauntered over in her barely there clothes. After their way to close for me greeting I hollered at everyone to get a move on it.
In the car on the way to the bar Fifi, Ben and I joked about the impending love that was blossoming between our parents and how we would be brother and sister for real soon. I laughed but was honestly happy. My mother had been alone for too long and if Jimmy was anything like his daughter he would be a great person for my mom.
"Yeah, but don't expect me to share a bedroom with you and if I ever find you tea bagging my drum set you're dead." Ben was too funny, referring to him and me as Brennan and Dale from Stepbrothers.
We pulled up to 'The Lone Wolf', I know, they were real original naming this place huh? But it's a nice place, a little honky tonk bar that draws a good crowd on the weekends, even the douche bags from Forks come down sometimes. Paul talked Jared into getting a DJ for the weekends rather than the same old juke box that plays during the week. The younger crowd likes it. It's the only place around for us to really dance and enjoy ourselves. Driving all the way to Port Angeles just to hang out gets old. I think that's why they've been so successful.
We walked into the bar and saw that there was already a nice crowd going. "This place is GREAT," Fifi and Ben said at the same time. It really was a nice place. On the one wall that spanned the length of the building was the bar. There were high tables scattered everywhere and at the back was a partitioned wall behind which were a few pool tables and dart boards. The DJ booth and dance floor was along the other wall and had a drink rail boarding it. There were mirrors along the walls boarding the dance floor with lights and even a disco ball.
"OK," I yelled. I need to get this party started, I have patrol in one hour and with my high metabolism I knew I could get a few drinks in and still be sober by the time I met Sam. "What's everyone drinking?"
I went to the bar with Fifi in tow. "Now sit your little ass up on this stool and let brother bear buy you a shot."
"Ok, but if you get me drunk then it's on you to make sure I don't do anything stupid." She laughed.
I got the Jake, Ben, Embry and I a few beers. I order sodas for Collin, Brady, Seth and Aiyanna. Even though you only had to be 18 to get in the bar, Jared and Paul were very careful to make sure the under 21s didn't drink. It pissed the guys off to no end but what do you do. Leah ordered some pussified frou-frou, sex on the beach, peach schnapps girly type shit. Sophie ordered a beer as well, my kind of girl!
"Ok Fifi, Ben, we have a tradition, with every round of beers we order, we have to do a shot. Everyone gets to choose the option once. I'm going first and I choose….TEQUILA." I had Paul pour the shots and handed one to Fifi. I went to grab the salt and lemons for her when she grabbed my hand.
"Quil my brother, only sorority girls and pussies need salt and lemon." And with that she downed her shot like it was water. My eyes went wide with shock with Ben was laughing. "That's my girl, I taught her well." He said and he too downed his shot without the salt and lemon. Not to be outdone or pussed out the rest of us took our shots. If it weren't for my wolf hearing I would have missed when Seth leaned in and licked Fifi's lips "My god babe you have no idea how bad I want to ravage you right now." He said.
"The best things come to those who wait," she hissed back while she chugged her beer. Yep definitely gonna have to watch her tonight.
We all headed out to the dance floor where Ben was already standing on the edge rapping along with the music. What was with this white boy wanna be and his rap music, he grew up in South Dakota for Christ sake.
"Come on my girl, Leah, show big poppa your moves", he said as he grabbed her hand and dragged her to the dance floor. Leah shot him a seductive leer and started grinding on his hips. I knew that look all too well. Young Ben was going to get lucky tonight if he played his cards rights. I just hoped he didn't get attached. It was just sex for Leah, but then again, he's only 23 and I'm sure he would be down with the no strings attached. He was flying out tomorrow afternoon anyway. I just hope she keeps this encounter out of her head; I don't need Sam flipping script again. Seeing him at the cook out today almost enjoying himself was good.
We all broke after a few songs for another round. This time it was Jake's turn to pick the shot, I knew he would want something strong as he had to go home soon and wanted a buzz. I also knew he would try and show Fifi up after that Tequila comment earlier.
Jake came back to the table with shots and handed them out. "What is this?" Fifi asked sniffing it and turning up her nose.
"Man up and take the shot, then I'll tell you." Jake shot back with that dopey grin on his face that he always wears. I swear that man would always look like a scrawny 16 year old to me.
We held our glasses up and Ben made a toast:
"Here's to those who sit when they pee. We love 'em in leather, we love 'em in lace, but we love 'em the best when they sit on our face!"
Then he turned to Leah and winked. We all laughed and lifted them high; Fifi turned to Seth "pray for me." And then we downed the shots.
"What the fuck, son of a gasoline chugging bitch, what was that shit I just drank?"
"Sophie, I thought you could hang. That my dear, was a 'three wise men'" Jake said with mock disappointment on his face. "Jack, Jim and Johnnie…they make a lovely threesome don't you think?" She just glared at him and I could tell her wheels were turning. Revenge would not be pretty.
We headed back out to the dance floor as the DJ started playing "Humpty Dance" by digital underground. "Fucking 90s rap batman, did you request this shit Ben?" I already knew the answer to that one because his dopey tall ass was in the middle of the dance floor trying to teach Leah, Seth, Collin and Brady how to 'Humpty Dance'. It really was quite a sight and then when Fifi jumped in beside him to show everyone how it was done I almost peed right there. I looked around our table and saw Ben's cell and started snapping pics.
After a few turns on the dance floor with everyone we all sat down to take another break and order another round. I knew I was going to need to meet Sam soon so I had to pass on the round. Ben brought everyone their beers and announced his choice of shots was…body shots. Oh for the love of all things holy, like Seth and Fifi needed anymore sexual tension between them.
Fifi was already very drunk, though I had to give it to her, girl could hold her liquor, and she was keeping up with all the guys. Even Leah had switched to soda after the three wise men incident. The drunker she got the more at ease she got showing her feelings for Seth. I knew that Seth was sober so she was in good hands, I just didn't want anything to get carried away.
I saw Sam come in the bar looking for me, I went over to meet him just as Ben was bring the shots over. "Hey Sam, I'm ready when you are but I gotta stick around and watch this real quick." I noticed he had his eyes trained intently on the table. "What's going on?" he asked. "Well its Ben's shot round," I didn't have to explain he knew our tradition "And he chose body shots, I gotta see this."
I had to grab onto Sam for support at the first sight. Jake and Embry…trying to figure out how the hell they could do body shots and not get their nuts cut off in their sleep by their ladies. Embry turned to Aiyanna as if begging for permission. "Uh, huh, hell no baby, you're going to have to figure this one out between the two of you." She said pointing between him and Jake. At this point even Sam next to me let out a chuckle, "dumb asses." They opted for the easy way out and poured them down each other's arms catching the shots in their mouths.
"Pussies" Ben yelled at a very drunken volume while snapping more pics with his camera, "Soph what say we show these Washington fucks how you do body shots in the dirty South D."
Awe fuck Leah was there with Ben with an excited, eager look on her face. I felt Sam tense next to me, "never mind man, we can get out of here." I said trying to get him out of the bar. I felt bad for the guy not being able to mend his broken heart; we've all tried for so long to get him to move on. Hopefully he would be able to handle this.
"No!" He said so loudly it surprised me. "I think I'd like to see how this plays out." Fuck, that was his angry tone and I couldn't help but notice the jealous look in his eye as he watched our table. They were all still oblivious to the fact that he had come in as our table was so far away from the door.
I watched as Ben and Fifi were whispering to each other and giggling like school girls, and I wondered what the two of them were up to. The music was so loud I couldn't pick up on what they were saying. I just stood by the front door with Sam and watched every thing go down and there was nothing I could do.
At the same time Ben and Sophie took their "body shots" and walked over to Seth and Leah who were sitting next to each other on stools. "Ok Clearwater's get your asses up on the bar and lean back." Oh shit this couldn't be good. I looked over at Sam who had already started shaking. Ben and Sophie lifted Seth and Leah's shirts until their stomachs were showing. The both slowly poured the contents of their shot glasses into the hollows of the two Clearwater's belly buttons and leaned in to slurp up the liquid.
Fifi looked like a cat slurping up milk while she eye fucked Seth who was just watching her with lust filled eyes the entire time. Ben put his entire open mouth on Leah's stomach and sucked the entire shot up in one suck and then trailed his tongue around her navel to make sure he didn't miss anything. Leah was clearly enjoying the show.
The entire bar was now cat calling and whooping it up as they watched the scene in front of them. I turned to Sam and grabbed his arm and threw him outside. He had the most control of all of us but the anger and hurt I saw in his face was doing nothing to stop the trembling of his body. I knew he was close to phasing.
As soon as we got outside we both ran towards the woods at full speed. Sam shredded his clothes as he phased. I took my time to undress before I phased. As I did I could here Sam's thoughts, I knew he'd be too angry to try and hide them.
How could she do that…with him…what am I going to do…it's happening again.
His thoughts were all over the place, almost too erratic to follow but I knew he was hurt by what he just saw Leah doing.
Sam listen man, calm down, I know what it looked like but they were just having a good time.
How could she do that Quil? How am I going to be able to get through this I almost didn't make it last time?
Yeah but last time it was because of an imprint this time Leah's just having some fun, it's not as bad as it seems.
Leah, what the hell are you talking about?
Yeah, Lean in the bar with Ben, what? Wait…why are you so upset?
Then he let it slip and I saw everything. The first time he saw Sophie at the beach, the conversations she's tried to have with him, his resolve to not get involved, and the hurt he felt as he watched his imprint with another man. Not only that but with his pack brother.
Holy Shit SAM! Are you telling me that you imprinted…on Sophie? Man that is great.
How is that great Quil, what am I gonna do?
Man, Seth will understand, he'll back off you know he will.
NO!
What?
I will not come between them; I will not let her hurt because of this damn curse.
Curse, what do you mean, she's your other half. There's no way she won't love you in return.
No Quil. He sounded so defeated.
I don't understand Sam.
I'm not doing that. I'm not forcing her into this. I'm not going to let this imprint thing take over her life. It almost ruined Jake and Bella, it's got you waiting a lifetime for a toddler to grow up, and me and Leah, look what it did to us. I will fight this, I will not let this change a damn thing…and I don't want you to say a word to anyone.
Sam, you can't fight this…you can't keep this a secr…
I can and will! And so will you Quil and that's an order.
I ran the rest of my patrol in silence. Trying to process everything I had just learned and the secrets I was now going to have to keep. I already loved Soph like a sister, and Seth was my brother in so many ways. I was going to have to lie to them on a daily basis and I don't know how I'm going to live with myself.
