Angela

It definitely wasn't what I was expecting. How could I ever expect that a group of men who were actually just oversized boys, turn into huge wolves? How could I possibly expect Jacob to imprint on me? Imprinting, that's what he called it. When a wolf meets his mate; he would be anything for her. He would protect her. See to her every need. This all had to be a huge practical joke. My head must've hit really hard when I fell to the ground and now it's conjuring up things that just couldn't be true. This was nothing but a messed up dream. Because there was no way that after yearning and after feeling so empty and like my life was a drag, that I magically received exactly what I've been searching for, what I've been waiting for. An unpredictable life with my soul mate. This was all so brain-wracking.

"Anything I need you to be?" I whisper. His dark orbs burn with an intensity that would make any person cower under that look but the only feeling it gives me is comfort and surety. Surety that this was anything but a messed up dream. That this was no practical joke.

Jacob tightens his hold on my hands smiling faintly.

"Anything." He whispers back.

I breathe a laugh. "Wow."

He mimics my actions and nods his head. "I know; it's a lot to take in."

"It's not just a lot to take in, my entire mind-set has changed. I will never look at anything the same again. Werewolves, vampires, soul mates…" His mouth pulls into a tight smile as he nods.

"I know Angela. But there's no pressure on you. You don't have to be in this world if you choose not to be. You, at least have a choice." The tone of his voice makes the insides of my body shatter and ache with pain. I had a choice. I had the opportunity to walk away from this life and pretend as if this was nothing. I could go on with my life and not acknowledge that werewolves protected this world from evil vampires and that I didn't just find my soul mate. The soul mate I've been searching for so long. I had a choice. And the only thing my mind and my heart were screaming at me was that this is where I needed to be. That this is the life I was supposed to live. That this man, this boy; he was my soul mate.

"I choose to be here Jacob." He lets out a breath that I don't think he realised he was holding. He lifts my hands to his lips and gently kisses, sending thrills through my entire body. It's barely been an hour and the effect he has on me; it was out of this world. It wasn't real.

"But I want us to take things slow."

He nods as if having had the same thought.

"We can do this any way you want us to Angela."

I inhale deeply and smile up at him. "So soul mate huh?"

He chuckles. "Yeah."

The feeling of Jacob's lips is still tingling on my cheek, the skin probably burning red. I can literally feel the ridiculous smile on my face as my lips stretch across my face, the result of, just everything that happened in the last half hour.

Jacob Black.

"Hey." Casey pokes her head in through the door and smiles at me. I'm unable to respond, continuing to grin like a dork. "I take it you like him?"

Like him? I'm pretty sure I love him. I've known him for a space of thirty minutes and his exactly what I've been searching for. He brings with him a life filled with unpredictability and passion and the feeling I get when we touch or when he looks at me; it's indescribable. My best friends pull me into a hug and I sigh heavily realizing that Jacob was it. Even if we just met. Even if we know nothing about each other. Even though there is so many things that needs talking about and thinking about, we were soul mates. He would be my unpredictable love.

So yeah, I definitely like him!

"He's amazing." I reply in a dreamy voice, the effect he already has on me reflecting in my tone. "Funny. That's the same thing he said about you."

What?

"He did?" I glance at Casey wearily. It would be a very cruel joke if that's the road she was going. Because I was already in love with Jacob Black and him saying good things about me would blow my mind.

She nods. "He did." I can feel the blush that creeps up my cheeks and I smile brightly.

"He really is something."

Casey smiles knowingly. "Jake's a great guy. Sweet, caring and very protective. Especially over those he loves." She nudges me. I giggle.

"Whoa, don't you think it's a bit too soon to be talking about love?" So, I'm already in love with him but no one needs to know that. Yet.

Casey snorts as she shifts on the bed, moving so her back is leaning against the headboard. "Please, like you aren't creating babies in your head."

I burst out laughing. "No."

She chuckles. I notice that she looks better, better than she did when she walked out of the room.

"So you freaked out earlier?"

She grimaces. "Yeah. I don't do well with imprinting."

I nod but don't say anything else on the matter. I can see it's making her uncomfortable and I don't want her feeling that way.

"What were you guys talking about? Or were you just making out the whole time you were in here." She wiggles her eyebrows smirking. I snort but I can feel the pink tinge to my cheeks.

"He just explained to me what happened. He told me about imprinting. It's sorta magical."

She chuckles humorlessly. "Yeah." She mutters.

I frown but don't question her. "Anyway, he gave me a choice. He said that we can do this anyway I want. I could tell that it hurt it to say that if I wanted nothing to do with him then that would be okay, if I wanted to run for the hills he'd understand but somehow Case, somehow it hurt me too."

"It's ridiculous and plain crazy but I already feel so attracted and affected by him. This imprint business is some fast working magic. But honestly, I don't even care. Imprinting brings a wolf his true mate and I think that is pretty damn romantic."

Casey looks thoughtful for a while and then smiles tentatively.

"Yeah, I guess you're right."
