PART II
PAUL'S POINT OF VIEW
CHAPTER ONE
LEANN
The whole Pack was sitting at Sam and Emily's kicking back waiting for Jacob and Lynn to get there.
Jake was just sworn in as the tribes new Chief, and I had to chuckle at the thought of Jake being Chief of anything much less of the whole tribe….I don't know man…. maybe it's just because I've known him so long it just sounds funny to me….Hell I was just getting used to Billy being Chief after their father Billy Sr. died a couple of years ago.
Now Billy…. there was one cool dude, he was part of the Pack until his dad died he gave up phasing to become full time Chief he was good at it too…. everyone loved him, then he left for awhile and come back with some pale face saying he imprinted on her…pffftt. Imprinting that shit can screw up a wet dream faster than you can say fuck me honey….I'm glad it hasn't happened to me, shit I love my women got a different one every night, none of that imprinting shit for me I can do just fine without it.
Anyway back to what I was saying….When Billy died the Pack was at his house that day and I got to say that it just about broke my heart watching Lynn that day she was totally fuck…. up.
Jake was trying to hold her together but she was just too out of it.
Jake keep trying though….He held her on his lap and was rubbing her back and sang a lullaby to her and shit.
Hell he was as torn up as she was I caught a tear or two every now and again, she seen it too because she would rock him and wrap her arms around his neck and kiss the side of his head so I guess you could say they were consoling each other….
But us we stayed to show our support and concerns…. wasn't much we could do but just be there but I guess they appreciated it they said they did anyway….Emily did most of it…. cooking and making drinks for all of us and the visitors that would drop by, It was a mess, a real sad day.
What was really fucked up is that both brothers imprinted on the same girl.
I don't know what its like personally but I hear Sam and Jakes thoughts when were Wolves and man that has to suck.
I mean for guys like Sam Jarrod and Jake and Quill who stay with the same girl and all, I guess its cool and all…. knowing that, that person is your soul mate and all but to imprint on the same girl that sucks…. that's got to hurt like hell.
Who in the hell came up with that shit anyway?
I've been in Jake's head for the last year…. some times I thought he had gone crazy or something…. he had some real serious mental issues….He was trying to work that shit out, couldn't help but feel sorry for my bro.
But I guess it's over now with Billy being gone and all…. Jake's got him a clear path to Lynn now and all, it's to bad it had to turn out the way it did, for Jake to lose his brother and all…..it just fucking sucks…..fucking imprinting shit….pffftt.
Lynn is a real looker to a little older than I usually like but man she just flat out beautiful that long silky dark hair that hangs down to her ass and those chocolate brown eyes man when she looks at you, you could almost get lost in those eyes man…. she is just plan hot, I smiled at the mere thought of her.
"Paul what are you thinking about?" Emily asked. I looked up at her with a big grin on my face.
"Nothing Em," I told her.
"Yeah right," she gave me a sinister look and shook her head smiling as she walked away.
"Hey man you find a new lady yet?" I looked up to see Jerrod sitting across from me, hell I didn't even see him sit down guess I was deep in thought.
"Hey man I'm talking to you," as he slaps me on the leg.
"What man!" I said, giving him a dirty look.
"I said did you find you a new lady yet?"
"I always got a new lady," I grinned at him.
"You should pick one and stay with her man, settle down Paul.
Nothing like coming home to a beautiful woman and a home cooked meal and all the sweet loving you want every night," he said with a laugh.
"I can do that every night and I don't have to look at the same woman twice," I said smiling all proud.
"Yeah but you have to go out every night and find one first, and spend a lot of money just to find her. Me I just got to go home and there she is," He said, smiling at me.
"Fuck you man….I love my life," I told him.
Just then…. I heard this piercing pain in my head, I grabbed my head.
Then there was like this siren ringing in my head I jumped up. "What the Fuck!" I opened my eyes and looked around and the whole Pack was on their feet, I looked over at Sam, "What the hell was that!" I yelled.
"Come with me all of you," Sam yelled with a fierce look of concern on his face.
He ran out the door with us on his tail, we sprinted into the woods but didn't phase, we followed Sam as fast as we could until we came to Lynn and Jake's house.
I looked ahead and I seen Lynn standing outside looking into the woods all confused and shit.
Sam yelled for us to stop. We looked at Sam like what the hell man do you know something we don't kind of looks. But we obeyed.
We gathered around Lynn, she looked at Sam.
"What the hell's going on, where's Jake?" he asked.
"He's chasing a Vampire in the woods," she told him. Sam looked over to Quill and Embry and tilted he head towards the woods and they took off looking for Jake. Then he looked back at Lynn.
"What do you know of Vampire's?" Sam asked her. She looked at him with a smirk.
"I'm not stupid Sam, I have read a few books and never mind that right now there's something going on with me," she told him.
"What do you mean?" he asked.
"Well I just sent Edward fling into the woods and never touched him," she said. Hu? I thought and looked over at Sam.
I saw the guys walking out of the woods with Jake leading the way.
"He's gone," Jake said walking up to Lynn and wrapping his arm around her. "You alright?" he asked her, "how did you do that?" he asked her.
What the hell was going on now…..Never a dull day on the Rez I thought to myself.
"Jake did you call us?" Sam asked. I perked up when I he said that, I wanted to find out what that was that hit the Pack all at the same time.
"No," Jake said. What the hell is going on then? I thought to myself.
"Let's get back to the house and figure this out," Sam said as the Pack took off and left Jake and Lynn to come on their own.
We got back to Sam's and Tatika was sitting across the way in front of the bonfire with a few of the other Elders.
We went into the house to help Emily put out the food, and then we went out and sat around the fire when Jake and Lynn showed up.
As Lynn walked by I looked at her…. I followed her curves up and down her body; she's so fucking hot…. I thought to myself. Those boys sure knew how to pick them, she was fucking gorgeous, "I'd hit that if she wasn't Jakes, mmm," I must have said that out loud, because Sam cracked me up side my head. "Stop it Paul," Sam said. I looked at him and grinned. He shook his head and said. "Whore dog," and walked away. I laughed out loud.
I sat there eating and looked up, and there was the most beautiful woman I have ever saw in my life…. She just walked out of the house, she was probably about five foot six inches tall and dark eyes and silky black hair that hung to her ass and she walked like she was floating on air. "Holy God who is that." I stood up as she grabbed some plates and took them into the house and I followed her, she went into the kitchen with me on her heels, she placed the plates on the counter and turned around and ran dead into me, "Oh I'm sorry," she said in a sweet soft voice.
"No harm done," as I stood and smiled at her. Hi I'm Paul," I told her, she smile.
"LeAnn," she said in that sweet voice once again.
"Where did you come from?" I asked her.
As that noise rang out in my head again, I grabbed my head and ducked my head and cringed.
"Are you alright?" LeAnn asked. I ignored her and I turned and ran out the front door along with Jarrod and Quill and yelled "What."
I got there just in time to see a tree splinter and explode in the woods across from us.
I looked over at Lynn who had her hand in the air palm out facing the woods, Jacob ran to her side, what the fuck, I thought to myself.
Tatika told us to gather round, "You need to hear this," he said. I walked over and sit down on one of the logs across from Jake and Lynn and looked at Tatika, wondering what the hell was going on.
"There is a Prophecy in the Quileute history, that has come to pass, I will tell you of this Prophecy and you will tell me if you think it has as indeed come to pass," He said.
It is written: he began.
That a female will come to live in the tribe and imbed herself in the house of the Chief.
The Chief's two sons will fall in love with said female and both brothers will imprint on her.
This will cause great conflict between the two brothers but will work out in the end.
Within time, the female will discover she has her own powers that will help the Pack to defeat the Cold Ones.
It is said the female's blood will sing to the Cold Ones when they are near and draw them to her, and she will be able to keep them at bay until the Wolves can get to her and destroy the Cold Ones.
As her blood sings to the Cold Ones it also calls to the Wolves when in need of help.
"That's what we heard," Sam said, as I looked at Sam and back at Jake and Lynn.
"Things are changing," I told Sam and he shook his head in agreement.
"There is more to this Prophecy," Tatika said, "But I must tell Jacob and Lynn first."
I got up and followed everyone in the house, "Sam?" I asked, "Yeah," he said. "What's going on man?" I asked thinking is there a reason for all that was going on or what was going to happen.
But all Sam said was "looks like there's a new power in town," as he looked at me and winked, "but for the good, our good," he said as he walked away.
I stood there thinking for a minute then I remembered LeAnn and a smile came to my face and I went on the search for her.
I looked all over the living room she wasn't there. I walked into the kitchen and there she was….Just as beautiful as she was ten minutes ago talking with Emily.
I walked up to LeAnn and Emily, "Hello ladies," I said. I looked at Emily she stopped, "LeAnn is my cousin leave her alone Paul," is all she said as she walked away as she stared a hole in me, then I looked at LeAnn. "I've heard a lot about you Paul," she said.
I lost my smile and she laughed, "I'm not as bad as she says," I told her. "Uhhu," she said.
"Um, I'm a nice guy," she shook her head and walked away, I just stood there dumb founded.
How am I going to get her to talk to me? I stood there thinking….
I turned and stood in the door between the kitchen and living room, watching her as she sat down and was talking to Quill, I was getting agitated I hated that she was talking to Quill.
What the hell is wrong with me, why should I care who she's talking too.
I seen Jarrod talking to Kim, I yelled over at him as he looked in my direction to his name being called. "Come here," I motioned for him to come to me.
He looked at Kim said something to her and walked over to me.
"What is it bro?" he asked.
"Go talk to LeAnn and see if you can get her to talk to me," I asked him.
"Who's LeAnn?" he asked.
"Over there talking to Quill she's Emily's cousin," I told him.
He swung his head around to look at me.
"No way bro. If you hurt her Sam will kill you and me both," he said.
"Oh come on man, she's different I won't hurt her, I promise, please talk to her for me," I begged.
"What makes her so different than the others man?" he asked. "She's a woman and you use woman….you use them up and toss them away….That's what you just told me that not an hour ago."
"Look at me Bro." I was shaking and sweating by now, "I'm getting pissed because she's talking to Quill man, that not like me and you know that bro," Jarrod looked at me as a smile came across his face and he started laughing.
"I don't believe this man," he said laughing again.
"What dude?" I asked.
"You imprinted," he said still laughing loudly.
"Shut the hell up man, I did not imprint," I told him and Jarrod still stood there laughing.
I looked around the room and everyone started looking at us, I grabbed Jarrod and threw him into the kitchen.
"Stop it Jarrod your drawing attention."
"So," he said, as Sam walked into the kitchen and looked at both of us.
"What's going on?" he asked, I looked at Jarrod and gave him a dirty look and shook my head back and forth warning him not to say anything, but it didn't bother him one bit he looked at Sam and continued.
"Paul just imprinted on Emily's cousin," he said, still laughing. Sam looked at me and came closer to me.
"No Sam, I didn't," I told him, trying to persuade him. He looked at me for a minute.
"You Son of a Bitch," he said with a smirk.
"What," I said, still not believing what Jarrod said.
"You hurt her and you will deal with me, you got that boy," Sam said in a low angry voice.
"But I didn't Sam," I told him.
"I think I know the difference and you have imprinted, you're just too stupid to know the difference…..Wait till Emily hears about this," he laid his head back and laughed hardily as he walked out of the kitchen.
"Oh man," I said, Jarrod still steadily laughing.
"You keep your mouth shut Jarrod," I told him and he started laughing harder and left the kitchen.
I stood there a minute wiping the sweat off my forehead and looking at my hand with the sweat all over it, "could it be possible," I said to myself.
"No…. there's no way," as I walked out of the kitchen, Jarrod was talking to Kim again and she was looking over at me with a look of shock on her face, "Oh hell, the whole Pack's going to find out about this," I'm going to fucking kill him, I thought.
Then Tatika walked in and yelled, "Pack Business," as Emily and Kim and LeAnn got up and left the room. And we all gathered around Tatika.
"I told this to Jacob and Lynn and there out there talking, so it is time for you to hear the rest of the Prophecy, It is a private matter between Jacob and Lynn, but it also concern's you, the Pack, you need to hear this well….Please use some sensitivity when talking to them about it or to each other….He began."
It is written there will be a child born to the Chief.
The female will bed both brothers and also carry the seed of both brothers.
Both seeds will join together and impregnate the female.
"Hold up just one damn minute, how is that possible? Billy's dead what's he going to do come back as a ghost or something?" Leah asked.
"Leah," I yelled at her.
"No Paul its okay, it is a valid question, this is the sensitive part and please don't bring this up to Jacob and Lynn, they are part of the Prophecy this was meant to happen they had no choice in the matter, I will start off with this."
"Billy knew Lynn was very important to the tribe when he went to Indiana to find Lynn.
Only at the end did he know how important…. And what part he and Jacob would play in this Prophecy….Billy knew he had his place in the Prophecy….and plus he did love Lynn.
The night before Billy died he made love to his wife….he planted his seed.
He had told Jacob the day before that he had to make love to Lynn the night after his death to break the imprinting bond between Lynn and himself, Jacob didn't like it but he knew he had to do it to save his imprint, Jacob knew that Lynn would follow Billy if the bond was not broken.
Jacob did not know about the Prophecy….he thought he was saving his imprints life…which he did both seeds were planted." He looked around at the Pack paused and then preceded.
"Okay the rest of the Prophecy.
This child will inherit the genes of both brothers and the powers of the female.
The child and each of her or his children there after will become invincible.
"Oh my god," everyone said at once. "That is awesome," Quill said. Tatika smiled.
"There is more," Tatika said as everyone got quiet once more.
This child will imprint on one of the Pack and the child's child will imprint within the Pack,
It will strengthen the Pack, and within four generations a new breed will arise,
It will be so until the end of the Cold Ones and they will be no more.
It will be known As the Power of the Wolf.
Everyone was quiet thinking about what Tatika had said and what was to come.
Sam was the first one to speak. "These children?" he said, "Yes Sam," Tatika said.
"They will only imprint on the Pack?" he asked.
"Yes Sam, It is important that you all…. tell the children what they are and what will become of them, the Alpha command will work on them from a young age, so they won't be able to tell anyone the secret," he said and Sam shook his head in understanding.
"So Billy knew he was dying, he knew all of this from the start? Leah said, sounding very upset.
"No Leah, Billy didn't know….But he did know from the start that Lynn was very important to our Tribe….Billy only found out a few days before his death that his blood could not heal him. When we found this out, I sat down with Billy and explained the Prophecy to him and what rolls he and Jacob would play in it, I honestly think it help his passing knowing he was part of this Prophecy," Tatika said.
We all got up and went outside, Jake and Lynn still sat in the same spot they were in when we went inside. Sam and I as well as the rest of the Pack went over to them, except Leah who lingered in the shadows like she usually did.
"That's some Prophecy man," Sam said.
"Yeah, a lot to take in," Jake said.
"You'll figure it out, Sam told him.
"Congratulation man to both of you, I said and shook Jake's hand and kissed Lynn on her cheek.
"Thanks Paul," they said, I smiled at them and went to give them some alone time.
The rest of the Pack had their say and kind of did their own thing and left Jake and Lynn to themselves.
I did see Sam go up to Jake and then both of them get up and go into the house. But I keep to myself trying to figure out a way to talk to LeAnn.
When the bonfire exploded and leap at least ten feet in the air…. I jumped to my feet, it scared the living hell out of me and when I looked across the fire I seen Lynn standing in front of the fire staring down at it.
She walked away and stood in front of the woods, at first I thought there might be leaches lurking around but then I seen Leah yelling at Lynn, oh shit here we go I thought to myself. Damn it…..
"Leah, get your ass over here now!" I yelled at her.
I was Sam's Beta and she should have obeyed me, but she didn't she ignored me and I ran over to her.
There was two things that happened…. first I ran into something invisible…. a wall an invisible wall and I bounced off of it and second one was the trees in the woods starting exploding and splintering out everywhere, Jacob came running up and stood next to me as well as did the rest of the Pack, We tried to get through the shield but we couldn't….We couldn't get to either one of them, Lynn had them in an invisible shield and no one could get through.
It didn't look like Leah was in any danger, Lynn was taking it out on the trees, Lynn told her to go away and leave her alone, but Leah just wouldn't walk away saying something about she wasn't afraid of her and something about destroying the house of the Chief and that we all thought that way but she was the only one with balls enough to say anything to her.
Well she got part of that right she's got balls alright…. I thought it would break my heart though when Lynn answered her….she was crying now and looked at Leah, she said. "I love Billy and I Love Jacob, I'm not the one who invented the Imprinting thing and I'm not the one who wrote the stupid Prophecy," she was crying harder now, "I came here to marry and be with the man I loved to spend the rest of my life with him, I didn't ask for any of this to happen, If I could take Billy's place I would do it in a minute, I loved him heart and soul," she said.
Then she stopped…..and looked at Leah who was also crying now.
"Oh my god please Leah stop…." I said lower than a whisper knowing Jake could hear me.
Lynn paused and stared at Leah…"You loved him too," she said, surprised.
"What she didn't know?" I said more out loud than asking Jake, but he answered. "No she didn't. Jake said.
No one told Lynn that Leah and Billy were together before he went to get Lynn, "great just great….that fucked up man…. "They didn't want Lynn upset about all this," Jake said.
"What about Leah….did anyone think about what it would do to her," I told him.
"Of course they did, but you know how fucked up imprinting is…. no one could do anything about it and I living proof of it," Jake said, and I couldn't argue with him on that I remember being in his head when he was longing for Lynn for over a year.
"Imprinting sucks," I said out loud really talking about myself, but Jake answered.
"Yes it does," he said, turning his attention back to Lynn.
I heard Lynn tell Leah she was so sorry and Leah telling her to save her sentiments for someone who cares and she ran off as Lynn dropped her shield….Jake ran to Lynn, and she turned to look at us all standing there watching her, my heart sank she had the saddest face I had ever saw and her eyes were red and swollen and tears still streaked down her face.
"Lynn," she looked over at me, "What Leah said wasn't true, we do understand what went on between you and the brothers….we don't think anything bad about the situation at all, what I mean is it is what it is, Leah is in pain and she'll get over it, I hope you don't think to harsh of her," I told her.
"Thanks Paul, I understand her pain," she said, I smiled at her and told the Pack to leave them alone and we all went back to the bonfire; I sat down thinking this sure has been one hell of a day, unbelievable, I exhaled and shut my eyes for a minute.
"Paul!" I heard Emily shout at me. I jumped she scared the hell out of me.
"What!" I yelled as I stood up with fright, Emily came up to me and got into my face.
My heart was beating fast from her sudden appearance, and loud screeching.
"Sam just told me you imprinted on my cousin!" she said, oh my god here we go I thought.
"Emily," I said trying to explain.
"Don't interrupt," she said, and continued. "I understand the imprinting thing and I know you can't help it, but I'm telling you right here and now if you hurt that girl….I will have Sam and the rest of the Pack tare you limb from limb you got that," she said as she walked away.
I sighed….I need to go home go to bed and cover my head up and end this day before it gets any worse, I thought to myself…."un…. fucking believable….." I said out loud. I turned and Jake was standing in front of me smiling.
"Who did you imprint on?" he asked, I just looked at him at first wondering how the hell did he know, then I sighed.
"LeAnn….Emily's cousin, they say anyway, I said and Jake laughed.
"Did you sweat and start shaking uncontrollably like you were afraid you were going to phase and didn't?" he asked, I shook my head yes.
"Welcome to my world," he said laughing once again, and started to walk away then turned to look at me again.
"Hey Paul," he said getting my attention. I turned and looked at him.
"Yeah," I said.
"She's pretty," he said smiling ear to ear, I smiled back and shook my head as he went into the house.
I sat back down I was the only one out there now and I really was considering going home, when I heard her voice.
"Paul," she said with that voice that sweet soft voice that sang to me as she spoke and my heart melted. I looked up at her and stood up to greet her.
"LeAnn, yeah," I said, felling like a complete dork.
"Can we talk for a minute," she asked. she wants to talk to me…..thank god…..thank god…..I said in my mind.
"Sure, um…. would you like to sit down?" I asked her taking her arm and helping her sit and sat next to her, the hairs on my arms stood up from just sitting next to her my heart was beating a mile a minute I felt like a pile of goo and couldn't hardly form a sentence together, this man who was supposed to be gods gift to women stumbled over word and slumped at the mere sight of this goddess that sat next to me.
"Arr...Are y... you o...okay?" I asked her. Feeling like a complete idiot.
"Emily told me that you imprinted on me and explained what it all meant and how it works," she said, and I sighed and lowered my head and looked back into her eyes when she began to talk again.
"I also know how you used to be with other women," she said and I lowered my head, in shame not wanting her to feel bad about me. "
"She also said that you won't be able to do the things you used to do any more, is that true?" she asked. I looked over at her. God she's beautiful, I cleared my throat.
"I am as new to this as you are LeAnn and to tell the truth I do know how the other imprints are, I never thought it would ever happen to me, that's for sure," I told her.
"Oh, are you sorry you imprinted on me?" she asked as she lowered her head.
"I don't know….it hasn't sunk in yet," I told her, looking at her beautiful eyes.
"Oh, Okay….I will leave you alone then," she said getting up and started to walk into the house.
I jumped up and grabbed her arm and turned her around to face me.
"No wait, you didn't let me finish…. I have been trying to leave for the past two hours and I can't leave you," I told her and she smiled at me, I laid one hand on the side of her face and leaned down and softly kissed her, I felt shivers run down my spine and every nerve in my body stood at attention and threw sparks between us and wrapped us in fibers like a blanket to hold us together that could never be cut away.
I pulled away and looked into her beautiful eyes. "Did you feel that?" I whispered.
She shook her head up and down.
I put one hand on the nape of her neck and the other around her waist and pulled her to me and kissed her once again more passionately are lips moved perfectly together my tongue swiped across her lower lip as she moaned and gave me lea way into her mouth as my tongue searched for hers and when they joined together they danced in passion.
I pressed my lips harder against her and this time I moaned with the pleasure of tasting this woman's lips it was like nothing I had ever felt or ever tasted before so sweat the smell of vanilla and lilac's so sweet…. I breathed her in and I never ever wanted to be parted from this angel again.
I pulled away from our kiss and kissed down her neck and nibbled on her ear when I heard the door open, I jerked away and wrapped one hand around her waist and pulled her to the side of me.
Jake came out the door and smiled at me and laughed.
"It's okay it's only me," he said, as he started walking down the path. I looked at him.
"Hey man where you going?" I asked him. He stopped and turned to me.
"I'm going to find Lynn she's been gone awhile, I'm going to check on her," he said.
"Want me to come along?" I asked. Kind of worried, if Jake's checking on her there might be a problem….
"No it's fine," he said.
"You sure man?" I asked.
"Yeah I'm sure it's fine," he said. "Thanks though, carry on," he said waving his hand in the air and laughed.
I looked back at LeAnn, "Sorry," I said.
She smiled at me and stood on her tip toes and put her arms around my neck and placed her lips on mine again, I wrapped my arms around her tiny waist and pulled her too me and returned her kiss gladly.
We kissed for a few minutes and I drew her in to a hug that felt amazing as hold her tight against me.
I sat her down on the log next to me again and put my arm around her and drew her close to me.
"I was thinking, um how about you and I getting together tomorrow….we can maybe go to the beach and talk…. get to know each other a little better if you want?" I asked her. She smiled at me and I melted all over again.
"Sounds nice," she said still smiling.
"Okay, it's a date, what about noon?" I asked.
"Sure, sounds good," she said. I reached down and kissed her passionately once again, "mmm," I moaned, as I pulled away, "I got to go baby and let you get your rest," I whispered.
"Okay," she said. I got up and took her hand and walked her to the door, I feather kissed her and backed away.
She went in the house, she watched me as she slowly closed the door with a smile on her face.
I smiled and turned to walk home, I sighed with a big grin on my face as I walked back to my house, I seen Jake and Lynn walking up the path going back to Sam's I was glad they were okay and I waved to tell them good night as they waved back.
