CHAPTER 11
CHRISTMAS WITH THE WILD PUPS
Embry and I phased and ran back to the rest of the pack. Bella practiced with the pack finding that if Sam and Jacob were in her shield that the rest of the pack had been protected as well. All but Jackie and me. Bell covered Jackie with her shield, but it didn't phase me. Edward wanted us both in the field the day the royal bloodsuckers would come.
NO! I shouted loudly in my thoughts toward Edward. I will not leave Embry's side!
Then you're staying home. Embry growled.
You're doing it again. I growled back.
You two go home. Jacob thought. He hated to order us to do anything. I loved home for that. Cason, don't leave, please. We need you. He thought as a caring friend.
Thanks Jake. I said calmer. Ai started running for La Push, Embry right on my tail.
We're not done talking about this. Embry thought.
I know we're not. I replied angrily. I pushed myself faster, away from Embry. He kicked it into high gear along with me.
We reached La Push, pashed and ran inside.
"Cason, stop!" Embry yelled.
I slammed the door shut to the bedroom, locking it so Embry wouldn't follow. The door knob shook, then he knocked.
"Cason, please?" Embry begged quietly.
"No Embry. I understand you want me safe." The tears were streaming. "I am not staying in La Push!"
"Let me in baby. I'm sorry." Embry told me quietly. "I want to wrap my arms around you. I want to tell you I love you baby, and I wont tell you that you can't go."
I slowly walked to the door, unlocking it and walked away. Embry slowly turned the knob and walked in just as slow. I sat down on the edge of the bed, quietly as Embry kneeled down in front of me.
Embry took my hands gently in his. "I'm sorry." He whispered. I wasn't looking at him.
"I know." I chocked out.
"Look at me please. I hate not looking into your beautiful eyes." Embry whispered again. He pulled himself closer to me. "Cason, please look at me."
"No." I whispered. "I'm afraid they're not the color you want if I look up." Embry touched my chin with the tips of his fingers.
"You're right, they're not." He said smiling. "I can fix that though." He said leaning in for a kiss.
He kissed me lightly. Once, twice, a third time. Embry's other hand slowly moved up my thigh and around my waist as the one that he had on my chin reached around to my neck pulling me closer to him.
"Embry, no." I cried. "Please, not now."
"Then talk to me baby." He whispered into my lips. "Tell me what you feel."
I wrapped my arms around his neck, crying into his shoulder.
"I don't want to lose you. You're everything to me."
"That's not all, is it?"
I shook my head. "I've got so much going on in my head Embry."
"Okay, let me start." Embry said as he pulled me back to face him. "Do you love me?"
I gasped and the tears streamed down my face again.
"Well?" He asked quietly. "Do you?"
I nodded. "Yes baby." I finally looked up at him. "I have loved you for so long."
"I love you too baby." He whispered. "Do you want to marry me?"
"Yes!" I said immediately. "This has nothing to do with us. It has everything to do with
the pack. I don't want to lose anybody. Everyone of you mean something to me."
"What else Cason? Get it all out or I might not be able to help you the way I need to to so you feel more secure.
"Just hold me Embry." I whispered as I placed my hands on the sides of his face. I stared into his brown eyes.
"When's Jackie leaving?" Embry was quiet as he rubbed my back.
"Later tonight." I said leaning back into his chest. "She thinks…she thinks that she might be able to get some of them to come back with her."
"Do you want to go with her?"
"No. I couldn't. You are my life and I know Jackie will be fine on her own."
"She's gonna come back baby. Why don't you go see her off?"
"Are you sure?" I asked puling away from him.
Embry wiped my tears saying, "I'll be right her sweetie, waiting for you."
"I love you Embry, with all my heart."
I was walking to the back door with Embry. We kissed and I left for Jackie's to give her my love before she left.
"Jackie?" I said as I walked inside.
"In the bedroom Cas."
I walked in. "Hey, your ready?"
"Yeah. Just packing some last minute things before I leave."
"Who's taking you?"
"Billy."
I thought about that for a minute. "Oh yeah. I forgot, the old man imprinted on you." I smiled.
"Hey, don't call your future uncle old. It gives him a complex." Billy said standing by the bedroom door.
I jumped up when I heard his voice. "When are you gonna be my uncle?"
"Next month." Billy and Jackie said simultaneously.
"Not a big wedding." Jackie whispered.
"Just all of you kids." Billy smiled.
I looked at Billy. "Have you talked to Embry lately?"
"Yes." Billy replied smiling. "I've always been his father figure since he can remember. He just never realized." I smiled.
"So…when did this happen?" I asked looking him up and down. "When you phased?"
"Yep, one hundred percent again!" Billy stretched his arms open.
I walked over to him, wrapping my arms around his waist.
"Wow. This is so different." I whispered. "My uncle a member of a pack of pups." I giggled.
"And my niece… a genetic freak." Billy replied.
"You sound so much like Jake." I said playfully smacking his arm.
"where do you think he got it from?"
"Definitely not Sarah."
"Okay, I'm ready." Jackie said suddenly. "Take care of yourself sweetie. I love you and I'll be back before anything happens. And I'll try to call you when ever I can."
I nodded. "Love you too Jackie." I whispered hugging her.
"Go back to your mate and give him my love."
"I will."
I went home to be with my one and only. The man I would want every day for the rest of my life.
The month past with patrols, cooking at the Cullens, sleeping and Embry and I planning our wedding.
Christmas came suddenly. We knew things were getting closer, we could all feel it. Embry gave me (against my wishes) a charm bracelet with two wolves, one to represent each of us and a heart to symbolize our love. I gave Embry as a gag gift a gold chain with a dog tag that read: 'If found, please return to Cason Call, La Push, Washington. I think he loved it more than the clothes I have him, since he shredded most of them while phasing.
"Sue invited us to Charlie's for dinner today." Embry said as he wrapped his arms tighter around me in bed.
"Do you want to go then?" I asked snuggling closer.
"We have to eat sometime." Embry said into my forehead.
"Then we'd better get ready." I said not moving.
"Yeah, we should." He sighed. "But this feels so good. Slowing things down."
"More like just being able to just relax for a day." I said looking up at him. "It seems like these past few months have been total caos."
"Definitely." Embry whispered touching my cheek looking into each others eyes. "I love you so much Cason." He kissed me.
"I love you too." I whispered. "There's something else isn't there?"
"Ehhh." He shrugged his shoulders. "Yeah, I guess. I know it's something you want, but I don't know if I should give it to you now or not."
"Give me what?"
He pulled himself up, away from me and leaned over to get something in the night stand.
"This." Embry whispered as he handed me a small box.
I opened it, knowing what it was. "Embry…it's absolutely beautiful."
"It was my grandmothers." Embry whispered as he pulled me to sit up beside him. "She was happy when she found out we were getting married."
"She is a wonderful woman." I said as I pulled the engagement ring out. "We should visit her after…if we survive the Volturi visit."
"We'll plan it." Embry whispered into my hair. "Here." He took the ring from me. "Cason Malor, would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"
I pondered it for a minute for dramatic effect. I then looked up into his eyes and replied, "No."
I must have been believable. The look on Embry's face when I said it was priceless. His eyes got big, his mouth dropped and he just froze.
"Wwwhat?" Was all he could mutter.
I turned and straddled him, bursting out laughing. "Oh my god, Embry! The look on your face was priceless." I chocked out in a fit of giggles.
"What?" He asked confused.
"I love you baby." I said still giggling. Tears streamed down my face. "How… how could… you think… I'd ever tell…you no?! Of course I'll marry you!" I leaned in to kiss him.
He held me back. "Wait a minute. You think this is funny? I asked you to marry me the right way…" He threw me on my back, laying on top of me. "and you tell me no?"
"Yes baby. I'll marry you!" I was still smiling. "I will never love anyone like I love you. Please forgive me." Embry growled then leaned in to kiss me.
"I love you baby."
Embry and I finally got up and left for Forks. Jacob's entire pack came. Sue was doing what Emily did for all those months as the pack mother.
"Merry Christmas." Sue said when we walked in. I went over and hugged her.
"Merry Christmas Sue." I told her. "This looks great. Need any help?"
"No. I've got it under control." Sue said happily. "When's Jackie coming back?"
"She said soon." I told her. "She sounds really optimistic about things over the phone."
"Good. Then maybe we'll all have a good chance at surviving this." Sue said.
"Me too." I said as we watched the boys mess around with each other.
"I wish I could keep them under control." Sue finally said after a few minutes.
"Got a wooden spoon?" I asked. She reached in a drawer and pulled on out. "Trick of Emily's."
I walked over and smacked each one of the guys on the arm. Embry grabbed me up, then threw me on the floor. I felt the spoon being pulled out of my hand.
"This could be a dangerous weapon." Embry growled.
"Why? Did it hurt when I smacked you?" I smiled, eyebrows raised.
"A little." Embry still growled.
"Take it outside you two." Charlie told us. "Hurt my granddaughter and there'll be hell to pay."
"Wooo." I whispered with and idea. "Lets go outside. I haven't wrestled with you in a very long time."
"What are you talking about, we do every night." Embry replied smiling. "But, yeah. I'll fight you outside like we did when we were younger."
"Hold on guys." Jacob butted in. "Don't break any major bones."
"No." Charlie said. "Embry, you'll put her in the hospital for sure."
Embry and I stood up. "I'm not that fragile Charlie." I said. "None of these pups have done much damage to me." I smiled. "Just watch."
Embry and I headed outside. Quil came out to make sure we didn't kill each other. Embry and I kissed before we started. We backed away from each other a short distance eying each other.
"You don't have a chance Call." I tried my chances at intimidation.
"You're the one who's goin down." Embry retorted. "You're gonna make the first move."
"Oh, ladies first?" I asked as Embry nodded. "Never said I was a lady." I said smiling.
We started shoving and pushing each other back and fourth. Embry finally got me on the ground pushing his weight on me. I felt my body start shaking.
"Not gonna fight fair now?" Embry whispered as he kissed me.
"I never fight fair." I whispered as I finally found a way out from under him. I flipped him on his back and climbed on top of him. My lips covering his. "See?"
"I've always known that." Embry laughed as he kept me close to his lips. "You win baby."
"I thought so." I said smiling then kissed him again. "I love you."
"I love you too. I'll show you how much when we get home later." Embry whispered in my ear.
"Foods ready." Sue told us.
"Finally, I'm starving." Embry said picking me up and throwing me over his shoulder.
"Embry! I can walk you know!" I screamed. He put me down as we entered the house.
As we sat down, the guys grabbed all the food they could. Everyone joked around the table as Sue was glad she made more food than necessary.
After everyone was full, I helped clean the table and started dishes. Billy walked behind me and told me goodbye. I figured he was just going home, but the smile on his face had made me think differently.
Embry and I left after I helped Sue clean up. I didn't feel it was her responsibility to do it by herself since I was going to marry one of the guys who horded almost half the food.
We made it to the couch when we got home. Me laying in front of Embry, like we usually did. Unthinking, Embry played with the engagement ring on my left hand.
"Embry. What are you thinking?" I asked as he kissed the back of my head.
"The day we get married." He whispered into my hair.
"Mmmm, me too."
"You'll have to do more shopping, won't you?" He whispered as he kissed the top of my head.
"Yeah." I mumbled. "I don't want to, but I know I need to find a wedding dress."
"When are you gonna go?"
"I guess after." I said. Embry knew I was talking about the bloodsucker visit.
"Oh."
I turned around facing him. "What's the matter baby?"
"You don't sound enthused about marrying me."
"I am Embry." I whispered into his chest. "I'm just scared about what's coming up soon."
"Don't Cason." Embry told me pulling me close to him. "Everything will be fine."
The phone started ringing. "I'll get it." I whispered trying to pull myself up.
"Let the machine get it." Embry whispered pulling my face up to his. His lips pressed against mine with such a passion. One I had never felt before.
Our tongues danced together, but we pulled apart abruptly when we heard the voice on the machine.
"Jackie." I whispered into Embry's lips.
Jackie pleaded with me to come over as soon as I got the message. It was an urgent order in her voice.
"Go baby." Embry whispered as he kissed the base of my neck.
"Come with me." I begged. "Please."
"How can I resist you." Embry said nibbling my neck. "Lets go before I get carried away."
We arrived at Jackie's five minutes later and walked in. We found ourselves in the middle if at least twenty strange women who I didn't know.
"Jackie." I called out calmly.
"Coming Cas." I heard Jackie call.
One woman glared at me. As Jackie walked past her she grabbed Jackie's arm and spoke rudely in German. Jackie answered back, just as rude in German as well. Jackie pulled herself from the woman and came to embrace me in a hug.
"Oh, how I've missed you." Jackie spoke. She turned to hug Embry. "My niece is not keeping you fed well enough. Here , eat. There's more turkey and stuff on the counter."
"I am too feeding him." I said smiling up at Embry. "I can't help it if he burns it all off while he's phased.
"Come with me. We have a lot to talk about." Jackie said as we walked into the living room.
I felt one of the women trying to grab hold of Embry. I couldn't stand it, so I growled, "Er meiner!" which means 'he's mine' in German, about the only think I knew.
They backed off when they saw the blood red eyes I dawned as I glared.
"Calm down sweetie." Jackie said. "They're just curious."
"I don't care." I whispered. "I don't like it." I said scowling."You're not alone hon." Embry finally spoke. "They're grabbing me…"
"Would you all please speak English!" I yelled. "It's the only language I sort of know!" I felt Embry snigger behind me.
"Sort of?" He whispered in my ear.
"Around you I usually get so lost in your eyes, I'm incompetent of speech." I whispered back as we laughed.
"What iz et you vish to know?" One woman asked in a strong German accent. Embry and I sat on the floor.
"Why are we in America?" Jackie asked.
"Vell, I think your muzzer had left uz many yearz ago."
"What are we?" I asked.
"Ve are true vervolves." The woman started. "I know zat ve are defferant from ze uzerz. Ze men for example zat change, ve are totally deferant. Zosw who are ture male verevolves are no match for any ov us. Ve are able to change at any given time. Ze true ones only change during ze course of ze full moon."
"Then what about this tribe?" I asked. "What would they be considered? We are like them, but they are so much taller." I asked.
"No. Their stories consist of at tribal leader sharing the body with a wolf when the leader had been in his spirit form. He ended up changing into a man in front of a false leader." Embry corrected me.
"Shape shifting. I have heard of zis before." The woman told us. "You young man are not a true verevolf. You shift out over anger." She held out her hand. "May I?"
Embry took her fragile hand. As she touched it only briefly she let out a sigh.
"You have an incredibly high body temperature." She said. "Very durable to kill bloodsuckers. You, young man are a shape shifter. You vill be able to stop, vhere ve will never be able to die."
"I have stopped." I blurted out. "Embry is my imprint and we will die together." I growled. "But, if I never die, neither will he."
"You vould do zis for your mate?" She asked Embry.
"I would do anything for her. My world revolves around her and no one else." Embry said calmly. "She holds me here when the earth doesn't."
"Ve have to get to vork on how we are to kill zese Volturi." The woman told us.
"It won't be long before they come." Jackie informed her.
"One more question." I said. "Does anyone else's eyes change like mine do? Mine are naturally blue. No one here has blue eyes."
"No I cannot explain." The woman said.
The next day arrived as we started working on our strength and weaknesses. We went to the Cullen's in our wolf forms. Embry and I leading the way. They seemed hesitant at first to meet the vampires but we assured them they would not harm us. The Cullens were nice enough to bring food out to them if needed. Everyone got along for the most part. Once everyone from the German pack met Renesmee.
The werewolves always went back to La Push at night with Jackie. Embry and I stayed in the clearing with Edward, Bella, Jacob and Nessie. We would make sure that everything would be fine.
The day came where the snow stuck on the ground. Almost New Year's Eve. Edward had told us that is when they would arrive. Everyone stood waiting for the Volturi, the La Push pack and the Germans hid in the woods. The German's knew they would not be protected with the shield Bella had been trying to extract from herself, and they were fine with that. We… the female werewolves formulated a plan to take them out by sneaking behind them.
"Morning." Embry whispered into my ear.
"Morning." I replied back. I kissed his lips. "Are you ready?"
"No, but I'll keep you as safe as I can when it comes down to it." Embry said. "I will die to make sure you will survive.""I will be right next to you fighting, I hope." I replied. "And if you die, I die too." I wrapped my arms around him.
"We'll be fine." Embry whispered. "Then we'll get married and start a family."
I can't get pregnant when I phase. You know that."
"Then you'll just have to stop after we get married." Embry said kissing my lips.
"That's what I had been thinking." I moaned.
"Get dressed. The others will be here soon."
"It's kind of hard when you're really warm." I teased.
"I've gotta go phase." Embry said pulling himself away.
"UGH!" I screamed. "Now I'm too cold!"
Embry laughed. "I love you."
"I love you too." I whispered. "Be careful."
Embry left and I dressed quickly. I met up with Jackie who arrived with the German's, all in human form to work out our plan further.
