Chapter 5.

I worried and worried about Bella for days until one night she came busting in my room.

"Uh, I know were friends and all but knock much?" I laughed,

"How long have you known about them being wolfs?" she asked sitting in bed next to me.

"What are you talking about?"

"Oh come on Cass Jake was just being in my room being all cryptic, he said he had a secret he wanted to tell me but couldn't said that you already knew and I would too if I thought about it, if I remembered the legends he told me."

"I've only known or about a week, Embry got to tell me cause he imprinted on me." I looked down at the floor.

"What?"

"I don't really understand it but it happens when a werewolf finds there true mate, you don't have to keep secrets from them." I told her.

"Why didn't you tell me?" Bella asked.

"I couldn't Embry would get punished if I did, werewolves have lots of rules and very short tempers. That's why Jake hasn't told you he's not allowed."

"Oh, what are you doing tomorrow?" she looked at me.

"I'm meeting Embry over at Sam and Emily's house." Bella kinda frowned.

"Looks like I'll be meeting werewolf Jake by myself." she said

"He still the same Jake, he's just a bit taller and feels like he's running a temperature all the time." we both laughed and then she headed to bed.

The next day I headed to see Embry wondering if he knew what Jake did last night and preparing myself for what may happen today. Embry wasn't waiting outside for me when I pulled up so I got out and walked up to the porch. I knocked three times and waited for an answer.

"Come on in." Emily called from the other side of the door. I opened it to see the house completely empty which was very odd for this time of day.

"Where are all the guys at." I asked her and she gave me a funny look.

"Think about see if it comes to you." Emily said.

"Jake." I said.

"You wanna help me make some muffins while we wait?" Emily asked me. I nodded and fallowed her to the kitchen.

Moments later I heard the rumble of Bella's truck outside. I went to the window and saw Embry and Jared were with her. I ran outside to Embry and he picked me up and spun me around.

"Hey there Paleface miss me." he whispered as he put me down.

"Of course I did." he gave a quick kiss and then turned me toward my sister. "You like someone died." I told her.

"I just saw Jake get attacked." she told me.

"Was it Paul?" I asked.

"Who else would it have been? Sam's taking care of though they should be here any minute." Embry headed for the door. "We can wait inside, has Emily fixed anything to eat."

"We made some muffins." I said.

"Great." Embry turned and gave me a smile before picking me up and running in the house with me.

"Embry put the girl down before she gets mad and hurts you." Emily laughed; Embry sat me down on my feet. "Here take a muffin your girlfriend worked hard on them." He took the muffin and we went to sit on the couch. Jared and Bella came in behind us grabbed a muffin and sat with us to wait on everyone to make it back to the house.

"Hey Cassie you wanna go for a walk?" Embry asked. I nodded and we got up and walked out the door.

"So what happened last night when Sam found out?" I asked.

"He got mad, chewed Jake out for a few hours but since Jacob hadn't really told her the secret Sam couldn't do anything." Embry put his arm around me. "I'm glade Jake told her though; I know how hard it is to keep secrets from the people you care about. They still won't let till mom since she's not on the council."

"That must suck." I said leaning against him.

"It does but in a way this makes up for it." Embry kissed my head and we continued walking for a little while forgetting that things had ever changed.
