I might start updating more often. Not sure. But for now I will :D
~~~~~~~~~
Sam's POV
I was really happy to hear that Paul imprinted, but I felt bad for him too. I don't know what it feels like to have your imprint choose a pack member over you, but I don't think it feels too good. I imagined Emily with Jake or Paul and a low growl came from my throat. I shook the thought from my head, and phased. I started off into the woods, moving fast to Embry's house to talk to him. Embry's mother didn't know about the pack or anyother wolf business, so she thought that we were a gang, and forcing Em to do drugs. When he kept sneaking out at night to do patrol, Em's mom got tired of it and kicked him out. Me and Emily decided that we would buy him a small house, so that he wouldn't have to worry about being with his mom. Embry's a great kid, so I'm sure talking to him about Paul's problem would be easy. He would probably even help steer Brittney towards Paul! We're like a family, and family watches out for each other. I made it to Embry's after a while, phased, and untied my jean cutoffs from the leather band around my ankle. I dressed, and walked up to Embry's door. I banged on the door loudly yelling
"EMBRY! YOU THERE!" In about five minutes, Embry slowly answered the door. The kid was a mess, his hair was all over his head and dark circles had formed around his eyes. I knew I gave him extra patrol shifts, but I didn't know he was this tired.
"Yes? What is it?" He said, slowly drawing out each word. He stepped inside and I followed him into his small living room. He flopped down on his small couch, and I sat in a chair across from him.
"We need to talk." His eyes perked up, and he stared at me, obviously thinking about what I needed to tell him.
"It's about Brittney." He sighed and leaned back.
"I know I haven't imprinted yet, but-" I cut him off.
"I know you didn't. Paul imprinted on her. So as his brother, I think you should break up with Brittney." His expression was blank, and he stared into my eyes.
"NO! Hell no! I'm not." Whoa. I didn't expect that one. I guess this is gonna be harder than I expected.
"Why should I? After all he's said and done to me, he thinks I'm just gonna drop Britt so he can have her? Hell no."
He wasn't getting it. He had to. " Embry, Brittney belongs to Paul. She's his imprint. There's nothing you can do about it." Embry laughed and gave me a smug smile.
"Has he even thought about Britt? It looks to me like she hates him. That special 'pull' thats supposed to happen, looks like it hasn't happened with her. I'm sorry for him, but thats the way it has to be. No matter if an imprint is supposed to be unbreakable, looks like there's a first time for everything." He just shrugged it off as if hurting his brother is nothing. This wasn't the Embry I knew, the one that wouldn't hurt anything or anyone.
"Maybe Paul should have picked a better imprint. Or maybe he shouldn't have imprinted at all. You know how Paul is. He could kill her! You are the most calm person I know, but look what you did to Emily!" His eyes widened, and he looked down at the floor.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to go too far. Sam, that was out of line, I shouldn't have said that." He was still staring at the ground, while I took a second to regain my strength. He was right. I did hurt Emily, and I was the second most calm person out of the pack.
"You should atleast give him a chance to get close to her. Maybe she'll like him more that way." I knew it was hopeless but I still tried anyway. Embry got up from his seat and stood infront of me.
"There is NO way that Paul is getting Britt. I'll ask her to be my girlfriend soon, and of course she'll pick me over him. She always will." He paused for a second before looking back at me.
"I think it's time for you to leave Sam." He said, guiding me towards the door. I can't believe that I was that alpha, and I was backing down to him. Before I got out of the doorway, Embry said
"Hey. Tell Paul something for me?" I sighed.
"What?"
"Tell him to find another imprint. Britt's mine. Who cares if he likes it or not."
Shit.
Brittney's POV
I was sitting at the nice desk Sam and Emily bought me, as a welcoming gift. I had out my sketch pad drawing Embry's name in a heart, circling little hearts around it. I really liked him, and he seems to like me. What could go wrong? There was a small knock at my door, and I instatly knew it was Emily.
"Brittney, may i come in?" Sometimes Emily acted as if she was about 40, instead of 23. I liked it though, I needed a mother while I was away from home.
"Yeah Emily. It's open." She stepped inside of my room and sat down on my bed. She let out a sigh, and turned to face me. Only until then I never really noticed the scars she had. They were so deep and they ran down her face and halfway down her arm. I had to remember not to stare so much, becase I didn't want her to feel uncomfortable.
"Brittney, The reason I came in was to talk about Paul." The mention of his name caused me to let out a groan. He was just so annoying! Following me around, watching my every move. It was so irritating.
"I think you should give him a chance. Paul really like you, and don't you think he would be better for you than Embry? He's always around watching after you, and it seems as if you haven't seen or talked to Embry in about a week. Paul might just be the best bet for you."
"I know that you and Paul are friends, and you're trying to look out for him, but I can't see that happening. I feel no connection towards Paul at all. I'm not gonna try because his feelings are a little hurt. It's life. Sometimes you might like a person, but that doesn't mean they're gonna have to like you back. It's not something that for sure."
Emily looked at me, and she was quiet for about a minute.
"I've known Paul for a very long time now, and he isn't usually like this. It happens with all the guys who im- I mean find a girl who they like. It natural. Just give him a chance, and you'll see. He'll be different, I promise you."
I sighed and stared down at the floor. She was just begging me to go out with Paul just cause he likes me? I don't really care if he does. It doesn't mean I just have to drop Embry for a day just so he can be happy. I'm happier with Embry. Even though it's true we haven't spoken in a while, everything will be okay. Atleast I hope.
Review Please? :D I'll post the next chapter very soon if you do! I already have it typed out and everything!
