CHAPTER 21

"Ok so what is it Paul, please just tell me," she pleaded as she took his other hand in hers. "It can't be that bad can it?"

"It depends on what your definition of bad is," he smiled. "You might want to sit down for this because it will probably be a shock." he said But ok, I'm ready to tell you everything,"
he said and took a deep breath….

"Sit down," Paul said and sat down and pulled her down next to him.

"Paul," she said.

"There's one thing I want to do before I tell you," he said. "Just in case," he said and moved closer to her. He brushed his fingers across her cheek and then ran his thumb across her lips and moved closer to her so his forehead was touching hers and they were looking into each others eyes. She laid her hands on his shoulders.

"Please Paul," she whispered and he leaned in and she finally felt his lips touch hers, she leaned into him as she felt his arm wrap around her and pull her closer to him so their bodies were touching. She swore she actually saw fireworks when she closed her eyes, her body felt like it had electricity running through it and all she wanted was to get closer to Paul. She wrapped her arms around his neck as he continued to kiss her trying to pull herself even closer to him. She felt his hands running over her body and through her hair before he pulled away. "Paul," she panted. "Wow!"

"Wow, doesn't quite describe it," he smiled. "But I had to kiss you, just in case you never want to see me again after I tell you what I'm about to tell you."

"Just tell me Paul," she said and he nodded.

"You remember how I asked you if you knew the legends?"

"Yeah and I told you my dad told them to me," she said.

"Well what if I told you the legends were true, that there are a few of us who can shift into a wolf when the need arises."

"I would think I'd need proof," she told him. "Or that you were lying to me."

"Its true Kaitlynn, I shift into a wolf when we need protecting."

"Paul," she said shaking her head. She should have known better than to get involved with Paul, he was crazy if he thought she actually believed the legends were true. He
could kiss her like he just did and make her whole body feel like it was on fire, then he could do something like this, tell her he's a wolf.

"You need to see?" he asked. "I can prove it."

"Ok prove it then," she said and crossed her arms over her chest and he stood up and peeled his shirt off and tossed it to the ground. Then she saw him start to undo his shorts and slide them down.

"PAUL!" she exclaimed.

"When I phase my clothes rip, so I need to take them off," he explained and she turned her head away. "You don't have to turn away," he said and she turned back to look at
him. "I don't care if you look." he smirked as he dropped his shorts before she could turn away again.

"PAUL!" she exclaimed and covered her eyes. He chuckled and Kaitlynn peeked through her fingers and saw him shaking then he suddenly exploded into a giant grey wolf and Kaitlynn jumped. "Oh my god!" she yelled and jumped up. "Its true then," she said quietly as the wolf, Paul walked towards her. It was hard to believe that Paul was somewhere
in the gigantic wolf walking towards her. He stopped in front of her and bumped her hand with his head.

"Paul, its really you," she said as she ran her hand over his head. "this is unbelievable." she sighed. "Can you change back so we can talk?" she asked and suddenly in place of the wolf was a very naked Paul. "Paul," she said.

"Give me a second," he told her and quickly slipped his shorts on and sat next to her.

"So you're a werewolf," she stated and he nodded. "And you protect us from what exactly."

"Well they're what you would call vampires."

"Vampires of course, werewolves exist why not vampires." she sighed. "Who else?"

"Jake, Quill, Embry, Sam, Seth, Leah and Jared."

"Everyone then."

"Pretty much," he sighed.

"There's something else," he said. "We, the wolves we do something called imprinting."

"Ok what is it."

"Its like the perfect person for the guy, everything about them fits perfectly. They're soul mates, the guy looks into the girls eyes and it happens immediately." he explained.
"It isn't gravity that's holding the guy to the earth its her." he told her.

"Its forced." she said.

"No, its not forced shortcake, she completes the guy and tames the wolf in him some. Its not forced its more like a speeding up of something that would have happened anyway."

"Ok but why are you telling me this Paul, all this stuff about imprinting?" she asked.

"Kaitlynn…."

"You imprinted didn't you?" she asked as her eyes filled with tears. "You have to leave me, I knew better than to get involved with you, every guy I like always hurts me and breaks my heart, he always leaves me." she cried and wiped a tear that ran down her cheek and stood up to walk away but Paul jumped up and grabbed her pulling her back to him.

"Don't leave," he whispered in her ear and she turned around and looked up at him.

"Who is she?" Kaitlynn asked upset. "Tell me who she is, who did you imprint on?" she asked as another tear slipped down her cheek. "Who's your soul mate."

"Kaitlynn, its you," he told her as he wiped more tears away with his thumbs. "You're my imprint, my soul mate, you're everything to me." he told her.

"What?" she asked.

"You Kaitlynn I imprinted on you." he told her.

"Really?" she asked and he nodded.

"Yes Shortcake, I imprinted on you, you are all I want." she smiled.

"When?"

"You're first day back, when we were alone and I had just said something mean to you and you tried to hit me, our eyes met, I imprinted on you and you said you hated me."

"Is that why you started being nice to me?"

"If you remember correctly I tried not to be nice to you at first."

"That's true."

"So why did you wait so long to tell me?" she asked curiously.

"I wanted you to like me without knowing about the imprint, I never want you to feel forced to be with me."

"I don't Paul." she told him and she saw him smile.

"You're not mad at me for keeping it from you?" he asked.

"I could be," she said. "But I don't want to be mad at you."

"I don't want you to be mad at me either," Paul told her. "And after everything I've told you, you still want to be with me, you still want me?" he asked quietly.

"Yes Paul," she told him taking a step closer to him. She ran her fingers across his cheek. "I still want to be with you, I'm not going anywhere."

"Good," he smiled relieved.

"You really thought I'd walk away from you?"

"It crossed my mind, I wasn't sure how you would respond to all this wolf stuff," he sighed. "Its not always easy for the imprint."

"Well it can't be easy for the wolf either," she said.

"No its not," he sighed. "But we've all made the best of it."

"So the imprint, is that why my heartbeat speeds up every time you're close."

"It could be the imprint or it could just be us because mine does the same thing," he confessed and she smiled.

"Its how I always know you're around my heart only beats that way for you," she told him and he smiled.

"Its like that for me to shortcake, my heart only beats for you," he said softly and pressed his forehead against hers. "You're eyes are so beautiful." she smiled.

"You used to make fun of me for having green eyes when we were kids." she told him.

"I was stupid," he told her. "I've acted stupid a lot when it comes to you but I'm trying so hard to not do that anymore."

"I know Paul," she said as she ran her hand across his cheek, down his neck and rested it on his shoulder. "So are you going to kiss me or not?" she asked and he smiled.

"Definitely going to kiss you," he told her and pressed his lips against hers, Paul felt her gasp when their lips touched. It once again felt like her body was on fire as they kissed, she never wanted to stop kissing him but eventually she had to come up for air.

"I never want to stop kissing you," she said as she tried to get control of her breathing.

"No one said you had to," he whispered and she felt his lips touch hers again as he pulled her close. Her heart felt like it was going to beat out of her chest, his hands were roaming all over her body, everywhere he touched felt like electricity had touched her. If kissing him made her feel like this, then she didn't know if she would survive anything else.

"Damn it Paul," she panted when she pulled away. "Are you trying to kill me," she said as she placed her hand over her heart.

"Never," he whispered. "I want you around for a very long time." she smiled when he said this.

"Good because I'm definitely not going anywhere, you're stuck with me for a very long time." he smiled as she laid her head on his chest.

"Good because you're the only one I want to be stuck one," he said softly. "So do you want to head back to my house."

"What are we going to do?" she asked.

"Whatever you want Shortcake," he told her. "We can stay at my house, we can go to Sam's and hang out with everyone else, we can go to your house if you want."

"Well it doesn't matter since we won't be alone at any of those places," she told him.

"Is that what you want?" he asked sliding his arms around her waist. "To be alone with me."

"Yes," she whispered. "I want to be alone with you, we never get to be alone."

"I didn't know you wanted to be alone with me."

"Neither did I," she sighed and laid her head on his chest.

"We can stay here if you want."

"In the woods?" she asked and pulled away and looked up at him.

"You're completely safe with me," he assured her. "You know that."

"I know," she smiled and Paul sat down on the ground and pulled her with him. She sat between his legs and leaned back against him as he leaned against a tree.

"So is this something I can look forward to now?" he asked hopefully.

"What?"

"Getting to be alone with you," he said. "You wanting to be alone with me."

"Definitely Paul," she sighed. "I never thought you'd be what I want when I moved back here, but now you're all I want Paul."

"I feel the same way," Paul sighed. "You're all I want Kaitlynn." he added in a whisper. "All I can ever want."

"Paul," she said and turned to face him. "Is the imprint what made you like me?"

"Well I wanted you the minute you stepped out of your car that first day back, but you already hated me so much." he sighed. "the imprint doesn't make me like you, it drew me to you, I fell for you all on my own and I did want you before the imprint even if it was only about an hour after we met that I imprinted on you." She smiled and leaned forward and touched her lips to his. "I like it when the girl makes the first move to," he smiled and Kaitlynn smiled at him and leaned forward and pressed her lips to his.

"I should get you home." he said.

"ok," she agreed reluctantly. Paul heard and felt the reluctance to not want to leave him in her voice.

"You have to go home some time Shortcake." he told her and she smiled.

"I know, doesn't mean I have to be happy about it," she said and stood up, Paul stood up as well and took her hand in his and led her to his house.
