A/N: Hope you're all happy with how the imprinting went down? I didn't want Paul to be forced to stay away from Olivia - she's good for him. There's also the fact that Sam hasn't hurt Emily yet, so he has no reason to keep the wolves away from people just yet either.

We're back to Olivia's POV.

There is a small lemon in this chapter. What can I say? They're horny teenagers!

As usual, I don't own anything Twilight related, I'm just playing with the Twilight world. I'm also going to admit that I haven't read the books in at least 10 years, so some things may have come from other fics I've read. If you recognise something and want credit, please message me. I've read so many fics over the last year that I don't what has come from where!

Also, a big thank you to everyone who has left reviews, and have followed and favourited this story. Knowing people are actually reading and enjoying what I write keeps me motivated.

January 6th, 2004

I really don't want to go to school today. The thought of being in school with five vampires is not something I'm happy about.

Last night I didn't sleep well, at all. There was an ache in my chest, which I think is because of being away from Paul.

I think about everything I found out last night, and my boyfriend being able to change into a wolf at will. I've always thought there was more in the world than humans, and finding out the supernatural is real doesn't really surprise me. I'm not sure if it's the imprint making me more accepting, or if I would have accepted everything so easily anyway. I'm extremely happy that Paul imprinted on me though - I love him and would have been devastated if he'd imprinted on someone else.

I sigh and get ready for the day. Whilst I get breakfast I send Paul a text.

Good morning wolf boy, I missed you last night, didn't sleep well - Olivia

He replies a few minutes later.

Hey babe. I missed you too. I didn't sleep well either, there was an ache in my chest. I think it's the imprint, but I'm going to ask Sam about it later - Paul

I had an ache too. Let me know what Sam says - Olivia

I will. If I don't reply don't be worried, can't use my phone in wolf form - Paul

Ha ha, of course. I love you - Olivia

I love you too - Paul

I finish my breakfast, wash the dishes and head to school.

School is uneventful. I have a couple of classes with Jasper, and one with both Emmett and Rosalie. They've not once spoken to me since they moved here, and I don't think they'll start now. They can't know that I know about them, so I carry on as usual, talking to Brooke and Faye and eating lunch with our usual group.

Once school is finished I head home and call Paul.

"Hey." He says, answering the phone quickly.

"Hey, how are you?" I ask.

"Good, Sam showed me where to patrol and I met with the elders. I told them you're my imprint and they said that you're now part of the tribe because of it. Sam says you're part of the pack too, along with Emily and Kim, even if Emily is refusing Sam right now." He tells me.

"Oh wow, really? I wish that would mean I could change schools." I say, eager to get away from the vampires.

"You actually could, if you wanted to." Paul says.

"I could? I wouldn't know how to explain that to Charlie though. He knows I couldn't go the the res school since I'm not Quileute and I can't tell him why they now see me as part of the tribe. Not to mention everyone at the school would want to know why a pale face can suddenly attend."

Paul sighs. "True I guess. I'm just not happy with you going to school with leeches."

"I'm not either, but they've never spoken to me, and today was no different. As long as they keep away from me I'll manage."

"I guess. I'm pleased they stay away from you."

"So, how many times have you accidentally poofed into a furball today?" I asked, trying to lighten the conversation.

"Only 2 times. I've phased 5 times, but 3 were intentional. Sam and I were practicing changing when we want."

"What happened to make you phase accidentally?"

"The elders brought up the Cullens the first time. Sam had to drag me out to the woods. The second was the thought of you being in school with them."

"Twice isn't too bad."

"I know. I need to see you. This ache is driving me nuts."

"Me too." I rub my chest where the ache is. "Did you ask Sam?"

"Yeah. He said it's the imprint. The elders say it will always be there, but the ache gets worse the further apart we are. They also said it will be a little less painful over time and after we have sex for the first time since I phased."

"I can come down now if you like? I can cook for everyone at your house and bring my homework with me. I also want to see your wolf."

"You're not scared?"

"Nope. I want to see."

"Okay, I can do that. I would definitely like you to come to the res. The need to be near you, and to touch you is so strong. If you're cooking be warned, as wolves we have discovered we have massive appetites."

I laugh in response. "Okay, I'll leave Dad a note and stop by the grocery store on my way."

"If you go to the grocery store on the res I can meet you there."

"Okay, give me half an hour."

We end the call and I head to the kitchen to leave a note for Dad, telling him that I've gone to Paul's for the evening and there is leftovers in the fridge for him. Once I've done that I head to my car and to the grocery store. Paul meets me when I climb out of my car.

He grabs a cart and we head inside. We get the ingredients for spaghetti and meatballs, and garlic bread for what seems like 20 people, along with some other groceries for Paul's house, then we head out to my car. We load everything up then make the short drive to Paul's house. Once there we take the groceries in and put them away, leaving the ingredients I need to start cooking dinner.

"Before you start cooking, do you still want to see my wolf?" Paul asks me. I nod in response. He takes my hand and leads me out to the yard. "Stay here." He says, leaving me at the bottom of the steps. He takes off his shirt and shoes, leaving them with me before crossing the yard to the tree line, around 30ft away from me.

I watch as he takes off his shorts, leaving him naked. I raise a questioning eyebrow.

"Our clothes shred when we phase." He says.

"Gotcha." I say hoarsely, his naked body having an immediate effect on me. He chuckles lightly.

I watch as he starts to shake violently, then his outline blurs. He then explodes into a dark silver - gray wolf, landing on all fours. I stare in amazement. He whines a little and dips his head, maybe thinking I'm scared.

I walk over slowly and reach my hand out to pet him when I reach him.

"You're stunning. And the same colour as your truck." I say, scratching behind his ears. He let's a bark that I'm pretty sure is the wolf equivalent of a laugh. He lies down and nuzzles my stomach with his head. After a couple of minutes he nudges me away towards the house. I take the hint and go back to stand at the bottom of the stairs, watching as he returns to his human form.

As he goes to pull his shorts back on I run across the yard and jump into his arms, stopping him. I wrap my legs around his waist and arms around his neck before crashing my lips to his.

"No getting dressed, I need you." I pant. He crashes his lips back to mine before unwrapping my legs from his waist. He quickly removes my jeans and panties before picking me back up and wrapping my legs around his waist again. He shifts my position so he can impale me on his hardened member and turns so my back is pressed against a tree. He pounds into me hard and fast, bringing me to the edge quickly. The next thing I know he's pulled the collar of my shirt down and he's kissing down my neck and along my collar bone, before biting down. My orgasm hits me hard as bites, and I scream out his name as I feel him fall over the edge with me.

He pulls his head away from my collarbone, licking the bite and panting hard.

"Fuck." He exclaims, looking at the already healed bite. "I have no idea why I did that, I just had this overwhelming urge."

"Maybe it's a wolf thing." I say, still panting his arms. "Whatever it was, it was amazing."

"Amazing? I fucking bit you!" He says angrily, putting me down. I pull on my panties and jeans, whilst he pulls his shorts back on.

I grab his wrist as he fastens the button. "Paul. Look at me."

He turns angry eyes on me, which immediately soften as he looks at me. "I'm sorry." He says.

"I'm not. It felt amazing. I think it must be a wolf thing. Perhaps Sam knows something about it. Or the elders." I say.

He sighs, finally calming down and wraps me in his arms. "It could have been a wolf thing. I couldn't stop it, it was instinctual to do it. And licking it has healed it already."

"See, nothing to be upset about. Come on, let's get dinner made. Sam and Jared will be here soon." I say.

We head into the house and make dinner. Sam and Jared arrive when it's nearly done.

"Something smells good." Sam says, coming into the house, followed by Jared. He then wrinkles his nose. "No prizes for guessing what else you two have been doing though."

"What do you mean?" I ask, tilting my head.

"You and Paul. I can smell what you've been doing." Sam replies. I pale in realisation.

"Ooh someone got laid." Jared teases. Paul growls at him and I blush deep red.

"You can smell that?" I ask. Sam nods. I bury my head in Paul's chest in embarrassment, whilst he growls at both Sam and Jared.

"Hey now." Sam starts. "I'm sorry. I didn't even know we would be able to smell that." He says.

After a few long moments I pull my face away from Paul. "Actually, we kind of need to talk to you about that. We were wondering what you know about biting during sex."

"I read something in the elders scrolls about marking. Why do you ask?"

"I bit her earlier. It felt instinctual, like I had to do it." Paul says.

"You did? What I read said the bite is a mating mark, we can mark our imprint so everyone knows she is ours." Sam explains.

"I did. Then I licked it and it healed." Paul agrees.

"That would explain it, he can be a little possessive." I say with a small chuckle.

"I will need to check the scrolls, but from what I remember once an imprint is bitten it leaves a permanent mark, our saliva heals it which is why you licked it. The marked mate will carry the scent of the wolf who marked her, mixed in with her own scent. It also means that she won't age as long as the wolf is phasing, so the wolf doesn't have to risk losing his soulmate when she grows old if he is still needed to protect the tribe. There was also something about fertility, but I'm not sure on that."

Paul and I look at each other. We're both thinking the same thing - neither of us are ready to be parents yet. I'm only 17 and he's 17 in a few days.

"Yeh, we need you to check that out please Sam." Paul says.

"As soon as you can." I add. "Though the not aging thing makes sense and is cool. It's good that Paul will be able to continue to phase and protect the tribe and I won't be growing old whilst he's still hot as hell."

They all chuckle at me.

We all eat dinner, the boys playfully bantering with each other as if they've known each other years, not just a couple of days. Paul actually seems happy with them, which is something he definitely deserves after all he has been through in his life so far. They're like brothers already, I guess it is part of being in the pack.

"Jared, have you asked Kim on a date yet?" I ask, causing him to blush.

"I have, I'm taking her to a movie on Friday night." He says.

"That's great! When will you tell her about being a wolf?" I ask.

"I'm not sure yet." He replies.

"Any further forward with Emily?" I ask Sam. He shakes his head.

"I've not had chance to see her with Paul phasing. I'm heading up there after dinner, whilst Jared runs patrol." Sam explains.

"If she wants someone to talk to about it, I'll be more than happy to. I know I've only just found out everything, but I'm an imprint too, maybe I can help." I say.

"Thanks Liv, I appreciate that." Sam says.

Once we have finished dinner it's still quite early. Sam heads up to Neah Bay and Jared goes to run patrol. Paul and I relax on his couch and put a movie on.

"Are you okay with the bite? I didn't know what it meant." He tells me.

I turn so I can look at him. "Paul, it's fine. Truly. It didn't hurt, in fact it gave me the best orgasm I ever had. And not aging whilst you're still phasing? I'm not going to complain about that. It means we age together, if we age at all, and we can live for as long as we want."

"I have to agree with that." He says.

We finish watching the movie, and then I head home, after making plans for me to go to Paul's after school again tomorrow.
