A/N... Guys im so sorry for taking so long to post this chapter. Some personal reasons on top of working on another story.

Paul's POV

What seemed like hours, passed before Sam returned from downstairs. He walked over and stood by me.

"Sue is on her way and so is Jared. When he gets here, I'll be going back to be with Emily." Sam said, his voice weary, looking to be torn.

"Paul, I know I can trust you with my sister's life. Please watch her and call the hospital when she wakes up."

"You got it man. And thanks for understanding. I know it has to be hard being away from Emily. Go to her, and we'll take care of Kimi." I said placing my hand on his shoulder.

"Go on. Get back to your girl." with a smile, and a little shove.

"Liz, thanks for everything." Sam sighed with just a very small smile.

Hearing Jared come in down stairs, Sam met him at the top of the stairs, Thanked him and left.

Jared and Kim came in the room as my mom was leaving. "I'm going to go wait for Sue down stairs, I'm sure you guys will want to talk. Yell if she wakes up before I get back."

Bringing my gaze back to Kimi's face, I could see her eyes moving rapidly under her eyelids. I wished she would come back to me.

"So, I see why Sam told me to get over here" Jared said a little sarcastic. "You imprinted on her, then fucked her didn't you?"

"Shut the hell up Jared!" growling, I shifted my eyes to meet his. How dare he sit there and bad mouth like that. I could feel my wolf growing uneasy."Are you here to talk shit or are you here to help?" I growl while glaring at him. Before he can answer I continue.

"Kimi is showing signs of having the 'fever'. We have no idea if she is going to phase or not. And even if she does, we do not know how long it will take or if it will be like ours. Sue is on her way here to check her out. She was there with us before we phased, so we are hoping she can help."

Just then, I heard the door open downstairs. I heard my mom updating Sue. Leah came in from the car and walked up the stairs. Walking in the room she jumped into nurse's assistant mode.

"Paul and Jared out. Me and Kim are going to get Kimi dressed."

"I'm not leaving her." I growled.

"Did you just growl at me?" Leah snorted

"Leah, It's ok. Paul you can stay and help. Jared why don't you and Kim go have a talk with Leah. Fill her in on some of the things that have happened today." Sue said with sadness.

"Yes ma'am." Jared sighed.

Leah, Jared, and Kim left the room together. I waited until I heard them leave the house before I

confronted my mom and Sue.

"Sue do you really think she is going to phase?" I asked hoping we were all wrong. Do not get me wrong, it would be awesome for my imprint to be a wolf with me, but I hated the idea of her going through the pain of everything.

"Let's just get her dressed, let me check her out and hopefully i'll be able to tell you something." Sue instructed.

Lifting Kimi's head from my lap, I tried to place her in a sitting position. Sue pulled my shirt over her head from her body. I turned my head to the side, so that I couldn't see her beautiful body in my arms. Sue and my mom helped each other pull a dark red tank top over Kimi's head and down over her chest.

Laying Kimi back on the bed as I dragged myself out from under her, Sue started trying to put underwear on her. My wolf was becoming unhappy with the idea of our mate being handled while she is unconscious, even if it is just Sue and my mom. The deep growl from my chest caused Sue to stop, both her and my mom looked at me like I'd lost my mind.

"Paul don't think that just because you are a wolf that I'm afraid of you. You know damn well that we aren't going to hurt Kimi. Just let us finish getting her dressed, then you can go back to sitting with her." My mother scolded me.

Whining, I walked backwards to the wall. Leaning on it, I tried to keep the wolf under control.

Kimi's POV

Blackness. That's all I saw. I still felt like I was on fire but not as bad. It felt as if my fever was going down. I heard someone say something about phasing. What the hell did that mean and why did they think I was going to do it. Why were they talking about the legends? I could hear everything going on around me but I could not respond to anything. I tried to will myself to open my eyes with no luck.

UGH I hated this. Laying in a bed with nothing but Paul's shirt on. Embarrassing is an understatement. Thank you Sue and Liz for the clothes. Why was Paul growling? Wolf? What do you mean Paul is a Wolf? Are you telling me that the legends are true? Is that what they meant when they said I may phase?

Man, I have got to get back to reality soon or I'm going to go crazy.

Paul's POV

"Well, it looks like her fever is going down, but it's still pretty high at 103. Not share what this means. And she doesn't feel as warm as Liz said she did." Sue assured me. "I'm pretty sure she should be waking up soon. Your mother and I, are going to go check on the others. Holler when she wakes." With that they were gone.

Walking back over to the bed, I noticed Kimi's breathing started to pick up. I couldn't handle not holding her anymore. I laid down on my side, careful not to jostle her. Propping my head up with my left arm, I rested my right over her lower stomach.

"Kimi? Kimi, can you hear?" I whispered. Leaning over I placed my lips to hers, and to my surprise she kissed me back. Before my lips even left hers, I felt a smile spread across her face. Snapping my head up, I gazed into those stunning blue eyes.

"So, now can you tell me about the wolves. Well, since you guys think I may become one." Kimi said smiling.

What the heck? Did she hear everything that was said?

"I know what you're thinking, yes, I could hear everything. I felt like my body was on fire. But all I could see was blackness. I thought I was going to go crazy."

"Oh babe, I'm so sorry this happened to you." I cooed to her as a silent tear escaped and fell to her face. " I will tell you anything you want to know, but right now I need you to rest, and let Sue check you out." I told her, pulling her more into my chest.

"Mom! Sue! She's awake!" I yelled to the ones downstairs.

No one came and no one answered. Just when I'm about to holler again I heard it. An alert howl.

Jumping up from the bed, I felt torn on what I should do. I didn't want to leave her here alone but I needed to see what is going on.
