Paul's point of view

"Nobody better tell Leah about this!" I threatened over the music. They just all laughed as the female stripper gave me a lap dance. Now before I get judged, I am at my bachelor party. Also Leah and I had an agreement not to ask each other what happens at my bachelor party or her bachelorette party. As long as we didn't go too far. This girl in my lap was pretty hot; but she didn't come even close compared to Leah.

So Leah was at our house probably drinking with Kim, Rachel and Will. Yes Will decided to stay with the girls, which didn't bug anyone. I think Will didn't want to be anywhere near Brady, and Seth didn't want him near Brady either. Also Emily was there, surprisingly Leah invited her. I invited all the guys including the pups and Sam.

It was hard for everyone to get into the party mood at first because seven of us had imprinted. But eventually and with the help of a stripper; everyone was wilder. Well actually everyone was drunk except Brady and Collin. They were assigned( alpha commanded) to be the designated drivers and we figured if everyone got drunk there would have to be two people to get all of us in the car. It took a lot for us to get drunk. Like over fifteen shots because our body temperature burns the liquor off fast.

The girl got off my lap and I went to get a drink. The bar tender was extremely flirty with us all night.

"Another?" She asked incredulously.

"No two." I smirked giving her a dazzling smile.

"Wow, you boys can really handle your liquor." She smiled.

"Helps us with our game." I laughed. My lines were awful tonight but I didn't care. I already had my girl and I would marry her in three days.

"I don't think you guys need any more help. You all are too hot for your own good. My legs wouldn't be able to spread any wider if you got any more attractive." She smiled but I could see the lust in her eyes.

"Looking for some action tonight?" I asked.

"My boyfriend just cheated on me. I want a hot fling who know what he's doing. No strings attached." She shrugged. I could tell she was serious though.

"I might be able to help you out, if you want." I offered. She just nodded and took two shots of her own.

She was a beautiful girl. Probably twenty three and wanting to get loose. She was actually sexy as hell. I looked around. My choices were Brady and Collin. Too young. But there was Embry.

"Bry! Come over here!" I hollered. He and Quill came over in a matter of seconds.

"Hey Embry this is…" I started.

"Alexis." She answered and I gave her a crooked smile.

"Alexis this is Embry." I finished.

"She's looking for some fun. No strings attached." I grinned suggestively. Embry's eyes widened when he realized what I was saying.

"Umm sorry but I'm kind of into someone else. Not that I don't see us going there… I mean you're gorgeous…. And I'm just sorry." He stuttered. Her face fell. I told us to give us a second.

"Dude what the fuck is wrong with you? You are one of the only guys that is single here and I get you a hot girl. A girl that just needs a one night stand and wants one. And you turn her down?" I spat.

"Dude I'm into someone else. It just wouldn't feel right. Sorry." Embry said stubbornly.

"Who?" Quill asked.

"Rachel." He sighed. Everything clicked then. I forgot he and Rachel sort of hit it off at the bonfire. He just didn't imprint on her. He knew the risk but he didn't want to risk getting Rachel hurt. But he couldn't stop thinking about her either.

"Talk to him." Quill stated as he walked up to the bar tender.

"Where are you going?" I yelled after him.

"I have seven more years to wait for Claire. I think she'll understand that I am allowed to have some fun. Alexis is looking for no strings attached and that's what I'll give her." He grinned as he made his way over to Alexis. You have to give Quill points because he really knew how to get what he wanted. He went right up to her and gave her a hard kiss.

She responded quickly as we all just looked in shock. She led him to the bathroom, where I am sure he would have fun with her. I have no idea how much they had done or how long they went at it for. And I never want to know. But when they came out, you could tell she was impressed. She looked like she was at cloud nine and Quill looked like he could take on a hundred leeches. She put her number in his pocket. We all hollered when he came back over to us.

"See, no strings attached." He grinned. We were all shocked and proud. But I knew part of him was feeling guilty. Even if Claire was only eight and he couldn't think about going there with her now; he felt awful. Those who had imprints could see it; he shrugged it off but it still was bugging him.

"Now dude it's your turn to be brave." He grinned at Embry.

Later…..

We arrived at Leah's and my house grinning for what was about to happen. I knocked the door and Leah opened it stumbling into me. You could tell she was beyond drunk.

"Paul! You aren't supposed to be here!" She scowled. I let out a quick laugh.

"Jared, you aren't supposed to be here too!" Kim slurred ramming into Jared. He looked at me wide eyed. She was beyond drunk. He was going to have her hands full tonight.

"Kimmy, how much have you drank?" He asked trying to get her to focus on him.

"As much as Leah!" She exclaimed. Now all of us were shocked. Leah could drink an incredible amount of liquor especially since she wasn't taking her antidepressants anymore. She was a werewolf and just like the rest of us, her body temperature could burn off a lot of the liquor.

"That was dumb! You know Lee can drink a lot!" Jared scolded but he was fighting a smile.

"Yeah because she's a…." Kim started to say werewolf but Jared cut her off with a kiss. Seth looked relieved he caught that in time. Rachel and Will still didn't know the truth. And even though they probably would think it's just the alcohol talking, we didn't want to risk the chance.

"You never answered me. Why are you here?" Leah pouted dramatically.

"Come in Embry." I yelled out the door. He came in shyly and then his eyes found Rachel. He walked straight up to her and kissed her hard against a wall. All of us cheered that he finally made a move. Jake rolled his eyes but couldn't help a smile.

When they broke away Rachel looked dazed. We could all hear her heart pounding. Leah squeezed my hand and mouthed good job to me. I just smirked back.

Maybe there was hope for the unique relationships.
