Kim was mad at me.

There was no point in trying to deny it or pretending she wasn't because she was...and she was really mad at me. Earlier today a vampire had breached the border. Sam and Leah were the two wolves on patrol and had signaled for help. We had all left school, except for Collin and Brady, of course Kim noticed and questioned. She wanted to know where we had all gone which was a fair enough question...if only it was so easily answered.

Jake was our beta. He was the future chief of our tribe. He would eventually take over as alpha for Sam. You'd think he'd be able to come up with a decent excuse. He told her that we had gone to Dowling's because his car had broken down.

He told her his car had broken down.

He freaking told her his car had broken down!

Kim wasn't stupid, she was one of the smartest people I knew and she wasn't going to buy that.

"If you are going to lie to me then at least make it convincing, otherwise just say you can't tell me." She shot back before giving us a tight smile.

I give her props for not freaking out and screaming at us, because she could have and I would have let her. We deserved it...well I deserved it. She needed to know the truth, it was the least I could do. I was lying to her and she deserved better than that.

"I can't tell you." Jake told her, glancing specifically at me and throwing me under the bus. Thanks Jake, thanks a lot. She glanced over at me and disappointment flashed across her face for a moment before she composed herself.

"Thank you, was that really that hard?" She asked. Somehow, I think it made it worse that she didn't call me out of my actions. If she had yelled and straight out told me she was mad like every other girl I had ever known did, then I could have apologized and felt guilty but this was just worse. Somehow I felt even more guilty for lying when she didn't scold me for it.

She dropped the subject but I knew this wasn't over. It wouldn't be over until I told her the truth.

"Jare? Is there anything you want to tell me?" She asked later that day as we stood outside the school. She knew something was wrong, she knew I was lying to her, and she was giving me a chance to tell her.

I wanted to tell her and that was the problem. I wanted to tell her and have her accept me. I wanted her to love me for who I was but I was an incredibly selfish person. I realistically knew that there was a good chance she wouldn't accept me. That she wouldn't want to be anywhere near me. I loved her too much, I didn't want to lose her.

"No." I finally answered. That same look of disappointment was on her face for a second before it disappeared. "Do you want to hang out at my house today?" I asked, hoping to change the subject. Her eyes narrowed slightly.

"No, I have to bring my car to Dowling's and have it looked at."

She was really mad.

The thing with Kim was that she hardly ever came out and told you what she was feeling. If she was sad then she did her best to hide it, if she was mad then she would pretend she wasn't until she got over it, if she was upset then she would deny it. It was often hard to tell what she was feeling but this was perfectly clear to me. I didn't even know what to say and try to make it better.

I guess the truth would make it better...or a hundred times worse. It was hard to tell.

"Everyone's going to Emily and Sam's tonight. It's pasta night, you're invited." I mentioned softly. She nodded her head slowly, seeming to think things over.

"I probably won't go." She answered simply before getting in her car and driving away. At least she was honest. Although lies would have made me feel better…

"She's really mad." I repeated for the millionth time that afternoon. We had all, minus Kim, just sat sat down at Sam's for dinner. Embry groaned in annoyance and Emily shot me an apologetic look.

"Dude, just talk to her and tell her the truth. You've only been dating for a week, I can't handle you guys already fighting." Paul said, giving me an annoyed look.

"Don't you see Paul?" I asked. "That's the problem! We're not even fighting! She's pretending it's not a big deal even though I know she thinks it is. I know she does, Paul. I know." He stared at me for a moment.

"I vote you tell her." He finally said.

"Ditto." Quil mumbled from the other end of the table and I shot him a glare. He didn't have an imprint, none of them did, except Sam, they didn't understand.

"Jared will tell her when he's ready." Emily told everyone. Always the peacemaker. I sent her a grateful smile There was a few rushed knocks on the front door and Emily got up to answer, Sam quickly following behind her.

Another crack of thunder accompanied by a flash of lightening went through the sky. I wonder who would be out in this weather… I heard a muffled sob as the door opened and I jumped out of my seat, knocking over the chair, rushing into the foyer. Kim was standing in front of Sam and Emily, soaking wet and crying.

"Are you alright? Are you hurt? Why were you outside in this storm? Did you walk here? Whats the matter?" I asked frantically, firing off any question that popped into my mind. What was wrong? I had only seen her cry once, when her parents were so mean to her, but this was a hundred times worse. She pushed on my chest and I staggered backwards even though I was much stronger that her.

"I can't do this anymore. I just can't do it. I'm exhausted Jared, absolutely exhausted. I can't pretend anymore...it's draining the life out of me and I am going to absolutely lose it soon." She whispered brokenly. She was starting to scare me. I wanted her close to me and I wanted to know what was wrong. I took a step closer towards her and she quickly moved away from me. That hurt. A lot.

"What's the matter, Kim? Did someone hurt you?" I asked. She stomped her foot slightly which would have been cute if I wasn't in such a panic.

"Yes!" Kim screeched, tears still falling down her face, mixing with the rain water that was covering her. "You hurt me! You all hurt me!" My eyes widened slightly. Was this about earlier? I should have apologized. I knew I should have because I was so sorry for what I had done. So very, very sorry. I risked my chances of being rejected again and this time when I took a step towards her, she let me wrap my arms around her in a hug. The other pack members had made their way out of the kitchen and were now standing behind her looking at her with mixtures of confusion and horror. I made a calming noise in the back of my throat hoping it would make everything better.

It didn't.

"Kim." Sam spoke up. "Calm down and tell us what happened." He stepped away from the group and Kim turned in my arms to look at him.

"You can't tell me what to do." She bit out in a very authoritative voice. I was a little taken back by how she spoke to him. Mainly because she was never rude to people and no one ever talked to Sam like that. The next thing she said sent a vibration through my body and made me suck in a breath of air. "You aren't my alpha."

What?

She turned to look back at me with an apologetic look. "I'm sorry." She mumbled. "You didn't want me to know but even if you guys can lie to me, I can't lie to you. You didn't tell me...you led me along, and I thought I could handle not knowing. I thought I could handle pretending nothing was wrong but I can't. I can't do it anymore. This is too big a deal to ignore." Everything was perfectly silent in the room. This isn't how I wanted things to go. This isn't how it was supposed to happen.

She cried into my chest and I glanced over at the guys for help. I didn't know what to say. Was she telling me that she knew what we were? Was she saying that she knew about the wolves?

"What are you trying to say, Kim?" Sam as quietly, finally being the one brave enough to speak up.

"Werewolves."

It went all downhill from there…

I know it isn't the whole chapter but if you want to relive the moment then you can go back and read it from Kim's point of view in chapter 21!
