Chapter 20

At seven AM sharp, Kyrine walked inside the hospital to check in, Natalie on one side and Amaya on the other, Nicholas following suit.

Kyrine was extremely nervous and looked like she hadn't gotten hardly any sleep, glad her parents had chalked it up to being nervous about the surgery. If they only knew what Kyrine did and experienced the previous night with Emmett…she immediately pushed those memories to the back of her mind. It was definitely a night Kyrine would never forget and would die happily because at least she got to say and do what she wanted with Emmett.

Amaya didn't look much better, no makeup on her face, and looked as if death warmed over. Truth was, Amaya had bolted screaming in terror from the beach after witnessing her boyfriend exploding into a giant mutant wolf before her eyes, scaring her nearly to death. She was lucky her heart hadn't stopped and somehow miraculously made it home without crashing her car, having blurred vision the entire drive from tears.

What the hell was going on in Forks and La Push, Washington?

First Kyrine found out Emmett and the Cullen's were vampires and now Amaya's boyfriend, Jacob, morphed into a gigantic monster that could kill her with just its jaws! Vampires and now…werewolves? Amaya definitely didn't get any sleep and simply sipped cup after cup of pure black java, needing all the caffeine she could get to make it through this dreadful day. She refused to not be here for her sister, even if her eyeballs were red and swollen from getting zero sleep.

Who the hell could after witnessing what Amaya did?

Kyrine noticed the dark circles under her sister's eyes, but didn't ask because she was more concerned about the surgery. She did wonder what was wrong and knew it had to do with Jacob more than likely. Kyrine let out a sigh at the thought of him. The guilt had returned tenfold as soon as Emmett dropped her off the previous night, after their lovemaking, and Kyrine couldn't understand what was going on.

She loved Emmett; she hadn't lied when she said it and during their lovemaking, all Kyrine could think about was how wonderful his marble cold skin felt against her. As soon as Emmett was gone though, Jacob Black entered her mind and the shame nearly devoured her, feeling as though she'd done something wrong. She was consensual and loved Emmett, who was her boyfriend, so Kyrine couldn't figure out why she felt like she just made the biggest mistake of her life by giving her innocence to Emmett.

Kyrine had no idea that Amaya had already told Jacob about her illness and the surgery.

As soon as Kyrine fell into a deep sleep, she was back in the same meadow with all the sweet smelling flowers, laying completely naked in the grass under the moonlight. Only it wasn't Emmett hovering over her, it was Jacob and Kyrine hadn't fought him off, giving herself completely to him in every way possible. It felt incredibly real; every thrust, caress, touch and kiss more intense than it had been with Emmett, especially when Jacob whispered in her ear she belonged to him.

Kyrine woke up trembling from head to toe with wide tear-filled eyes, breathing heavily. The power of the dream alone shook her to the core and Kyrine knew these dreams were getting out of control. They were more erotic and passionate than the next, but now Kyrine was dreaming about having sex with Jacob in the same exact spot Emmett had brought her and taken her virginity. It was border lining invasion, but Kyrine couldn't stop her subconscious from conjuring up Jacob.

In a very weird way, Kyrine felt like she cheated on Emmett with that dream.

"Darling, are you alright?" Natalie asked, jolting her daughter out of her thoughts, watching her slightly jump.

"Y-Yeah I'm fine, Mom."

"I know you're nervous, but there's nothing to worry about." Natalie assured her softly, keeping an encouraging smile on her face, trying to stay strong. "You're in great hands with Doctor Cullen."

"I know." If only her mother knew what Kyrine was thinking about, Natalie probably would've had a heart attack.

Something else was bothering Kyrine and it bothered Natalie that her daughter wasn't coming clean with her, wondering what it could be. She decided to let it go because the last thing she wanted to do was upset Kyrine before her surgery. Today was all about Kyrine and Natalie had made sure nobody at the high school knew about what was going on with her daughter, not having a clue about Kyrine telling the Cullen's.

"Kyrine McTavian?"

Closing her eyes for a second, Kyrine knew this was it and nodded, slowly standing up while Amaya clutched her hand. Kyrine could already feel the tears burning the back of her eyes and knew Amaya was trying to keep it together, but that didn't stop the tears from forming. The girls embraced tightly as they let the tears flow, more Kyrine than Amaya, knowing this could be the final time they did this and Kyrine wouldn't go under the knife without saying goodbye.

"What am I going to do without you, Kyrie?" Amaya whispered, trembling slightly, not wanting her to let Kyrine go for anything.

"You'll move on." Kyrine pulled back to stare into Amaya's eyes, wiping the tears away from Amaya's cheeks, smiling bravely. "Whatever happens, promise me you will move on and live your life to the fullest. Promise me, Maya."

Amaya frowned, gritting her teeth because she hated it when Kyrine tried saying goodbye. "How can you expect me to make a promise like that?" She grunted harshly, lowering her eyes.

"Because if it was you going in there to be cut open, I would want you to do the same thing. We all can't live forever. So if this is my time, then I can't go without knowing you'll be alright." Kyrine wiped her own tears away, looking back at her parents, who were waiting patiently along with the nurse. "Promise me or I'm not going in there."

"Goddamn you." Amaya felt more tears slide down her cheeks and pulled Kyrine against her for one last embrace, swallowing hard. "I…promise." She reluctantly stated, pulling back again and tapped Kyrine's nose with the tip of her finger. "I'll see you when you wake up."

'Or on the other side.' Kyrine added in thought, nodding, refusing to give up hope that she would survive this before finally joining her parents and the nurse. Before she fully walked through the door, Kyrine looked back at her sister, blowing a kiss. 'I love you, Maya.' She mouthed, the door closing behind her.

Amaya dropped back down in the chair of the waiting room, knowing she wasn't allowed back there, and buried her head in her hands. "I love you too, Kyrie." The tears didn't stop flowing as Amaya curled up in the chair, ignoring everyone else and ignored her cell phone vibrating with text messages.

Nothing else mattered right now.

Jacob raced through the woods at top speed, snarling and growling at anything that got in his way, even trees. His anger level was maxed out and he'd been phased since the night before when he scared the hell out of Amaya. He knew Sam was going to be livid with him, but Jacob honestly didn't care, the wind ripping through his fur only angering him further. Between finding out that his imprint was dying and then actually watching as she willingly gave her body, everything, to a bloodsucker was more than Jacob could handle.

He was at the breaking point.

Kyrine's moans still filtered through his mind as images of Emmett pulling her up to thrust deeper inside of her joined them. The way her body arched and moved in rhythm with the dead man, the sweat glistening on her skin every time Emmett switched positions to fulfill every one of Kyrine's desires. It was enough to make Jacob sick because it should've been him instead of Emmett making love to her in that meadow.

He hadn't been able to leave, almost if his paws had been cemented to the ground, feeling his heart being shredded repeatedly every time his imprint moaned out the bloodsucker's name. Jacob could hear every single word they said to each other, the word love pouring out of Kyrine's mouth as she professed to Emmett, just hurt him more. It was only after Kyrine released and their sexual escapade ended that Jacob finally left, wanting to make sure the bloodsucker hadn't hurt her, though he had left bruises on her skin.

Jacob wanted to rip Emmett Cullen apart, just like he'd done to other bloodsucker that almost attacked Kyrine, but knew he couldn't.

The more he thought about it, the more rage filled him and Jacob knew he had to find some way to break the imprint, knowing it was impossible. The pull was too powerful and Jacob knew Kyrine felt it too, even though she tried denying it repeatedly. The connection was simply too strong, which is why Kyrine was losing control over her subconscious, forcing her to face the truth. He stood outside her window night after night, hearing her questioning herself about why she was dreaming of her sister's boyfriend. Why she was thinking about him instead of Emmett.

It was really quite simple: She didn't belong with the bloodsucker and never would.

Jacob.

He was tempted to ignore Sam, just wanting to run as much and fast as possible, trying to get his rage under control. What Sam? Now isn't a good time. Just the sound of his voice told Sam Jacob was angry about something, which is why he hadn't been able to phase back into human form since the night before.

Make it a good time, we have things to discuss and you need to calm down so you can phase back. Sam ordered in his alpha tone, knowing the command would automatically calm Jacob down enough.

The bonfire had been cancelled as soon as the pack overheard a scream resonate from the beach, but when they arrived, Amaya had fled the scene and driven back to Forks. Sam knew it was Amaya because he witnessed Jacob phasing in front of her, having been sent by Emily to retrieve them for dinner. He stayed back and listened to the conversation about Amaya's sister Kyrine, cringing because Jacob finally came clean to him about imprinting on her.

If Sam had found out about Emily the way Jacob had about Kyrine, he honestly didn't know what his own reaction would be, so he wasn't exactly angry with Jacob. It was the fact that Jacob had lost control in front of Amaya and could've potentially hurt her by phasing as close as he did. He didn't want Jacob going through the same guilt and pain that Sam did on a daily basis, even though Amaya wasn't his imprint. She was still his girlfriend though, a human being, and the pack had vowed to protect ALL humans no matter the circumstances.

There was also something else bothering Jacob and fueling his anger, which is what Sam wanted to get to the bottom of because their communication wasn't as good as it used to be. If Jacob wanted to hide anything from the pack, he could do it by putting up walls around his mind, because he left the tribe at one point to defend the bloodsuckers because of Bella. To the Quileute ancestors, whenever a member left the tribe of their own free will, they were considered their own alpha and had betrayed the pack in a way.

Growling, Jacob knew he had no choice except to respond to Sam's order, already feeling the anger diminishing from his body. He kept running through the woods, heading toward Emily's, knowing that's where Sam was waiting for him. Stopping just outside of the house, Jacob closed his eyes and felt his body return to its normal state, looking down to find a pair of cargo shorts waiting for him. Sighing, Jacob slipped them on before walking out of the woods, his lips formed in one fine grim line, shoulders squared as he approached the front porch where Sam was waiting for him.

"You did that faster than I expected." Sam commented, standing up from the porch swing he installed for Emily, opening the screen door. "Come in."

Jacob did as he was told and followed Sam inside, the smell of food filling his nose, feeling his stomach rumble because he hadn't ate since yesterday afternoon. He knew what Sam wanted to talk about and Jacob wasn't sure if he could, sitting down at the table, his eyes refusing to meet Sam's. Being angry at Kyrine was irrational and Jacob knew it because he hadn't gotten up the courage to tell her about the imprint yet, but he couldn't help feeling betrayed by her.

"What's up, Sam?"

"Why don't you tell me?" Sam retorted, sitting down across from Jacob with his arms folded in front of his chest. "I'm not angry at you for phasing in front of Amaya, even though you already know it was very irresponsible and dangerous to do it so close to her. I know finding out about Kyrine…" He watched the anger flash through Jacob's dark eyes, confusion registering in his own. "You're mad at Kyrine I take it?"

Jacob clenched his jaw tightly while gritting his teeth, a flashback of Kyrine and Emmett together entering his mind. "Stupid BITCH!" He suddenly lost control and stood up, flipping the table over as the food that was on it flew all over the place that Emily worked so hard to make.

"What the hell?" Emily cried, rushing out of the kitchen and immediately stopped when Sam threw his hand up, standing in front of her.

"Stay back, Emily." He ordered in a low voice, seeing just how much rage Jacob currently had and knew this wasn't a good idea to order him over. "Jacob isn't in the right frame of mind right now."

Emily had never seen Jacob like this and watched as he punched a hole right through their wall next, jumping at the rippling growl that tore out of his mouth. She was terrified of him, always thinking Jacob was one of the sweetest and calmest pack members, but obviously she was wrong. Sam could feel her trembling and pushed her back a little more into the kitchen, still blocking her from view in case Jacob lost all sense of control and lashed out at him, bracing himself for it.

"Jacob, calm down now!" Sam once again used his alpha voice, not believing just the mention of Kyrine had set Jacob off in a frenzied rage like this. "CALM DOWN!"

"NO!" Jacob knew he could block the alpha voice if he truly wanted to and his rage was doing just that, not caring that his hand was bleeding or the fact he was tearing Sam and Emily's house apart. He didn't care. "DON'T FUCKING TELLING ME TO CALM DOWN, SAM! WOULD YOU CALM DOWN IF YOU SAW YOUR IMPRINT HAVE HER VIRGINITY STOLEN BY A BLOODSUCKER? WOULD YOU CALM DOWN IF YOU HEARD YOUR IMPRINT MOAN OUT A DEAD MAN'S NAME WHILE HE FUCKED HER RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU? WOULD YOU?" He bellowed, not caring who heard him anymore because the secret was out anyway. "GODDAMN IT, KYRINE!"

Ripping the screen door right off its hinges, Jacob tossed it out of his way as he stormed out on the porch, already feeling the fire course through his body, knowing he was going to phase again. Sam and Emily both looked at each other in stunned silence and could only watch as a rage and pain-filled Jacob Black phased right back into wolf form, tearing through the woods away from their house. Emily immediately stepped away from Sam as tears slid down her cheeks, bending down to begin cleaning up the wreckage that Jacob caused, only for Sam to stop her.

"Go upstairs while I clean this up." It was Sam's fault for not realizing just how angry Jacob was and ordering him over, so it was his responsibility to clean up his pack member's mess not hers. "Please."

Emily kissed Sam softly on the lips before doing as he asked, heading upstairs to take a soothing bath, completely shaken up by Jacob's explosion.
