So I'm going to reintroduce Jared's little brother in this chapter and a lot more in the next tell me guys what you think.

Oh and by the way yes this is the chapter when all the truth comes out I've put it off for a while but it's time so here we go the truth comes out but does the truth set you free or make you lose your imprint you'll have to see.

By the way a big thanks to my beta and all you lovely reviewers you keep me writing also please check out my story Out Of Control it's about Paul imprinting on Sam.

Chapter 13

"So Kim, uh, have you ever heard the Quileute legends?" Jared asks, looking slightly concerned, like at any moment I'll completely freak out.

"Sure yeah, the protectors, the wolves and stuff like that," I say with a shrug, not understanding the way the conversation has suddenly turned.

"Yeah well, I don't really know how to tell you, but, uh, the legends are true Kim," Jared finally says. His voice is deadpan serious, and I can tell he's worked really hard to keep the emotion out of his voice.

"Jared, I don't think that's really possible," I say skeptically.

"Kimberly, I'm a werewolf."

"But Jared, I- Uh- Are you joking?" I finally ask, rephrasing it so I don't sound cruel.

"What? No, Kim."

"Look Jared, I just can't really believe you, I'm sorry." I finally say, wondering why he's telling me this blatant lie.

"Kim it's true! That's why my temperature's so high, and why I grew really fast all of a sudden. And that's why I hang out with Sam and the other guys. We're a pack," Jared explains.

The way he says it, full of emotion, it's hard to doubt him, but I remind myself these things aren't real.

"Jared, you can't be a werewolf. That's completely impossible."

"Kim, I'm not lying, please just listen," Jared begs.

All I can do is nod and listen, he talks about everything, from when he first transformed to when he met Sam and what happened to Emily, and then imprinting. As soon as he says the words I know he's serious, and then he says my name and tells me how much he loves me, checking my reaction.

Unfortunately, the only thing I can do is sit, frozen into place, because it all makes sense in some twisted way, and add up everything he's just told me. Including how he suddenly took an interest in me.

"So, you're a werewolf," I say slowly, still expecting him to tell me it's all a joke.

"Yeah, I am."

"But, but, I mean it's just not logical!"

"That's what I thought at first."

"I-"

"Do you believe me Kim? Because you have to know I am completely serious, beyond serious. Really, I wouldn't, I couldn't, joke about this. It's for real Kim, and even though sometimes I don't want to believe it either, I remember that imprinting gave me you, and well I wouldn't change it for the world."

"Jared its-"

"It's hard, yeah I know it is Kim, that's why I didn't tell you. I didn't want to ruin what we had so early, but it's this is a huge part of me and I need you to love all of me, like I love all of you." He's still staring intensely, willing me to understand, and I just can't doubt him any longer.

"I believe you, and I still love you," I finally say.

Jared looks me straight in the eye like he wants to make sure I'm not lying. The truth is, I couldn't lie to Jared, I just couldn't, and I know he's telling the truth, every single word. I can't find it in myself to be afraid or worried, because I know Jared could never hurt me.

"Thanks," I tell him.

"For what?"

"For telling me. I know it must have been hard to risk everything like that."

"I would have lost you anyway if I didn't tell you."

"I don't think you would have, I mean I can't- I need you Jared."

"I'm glad."

"Me too"

"So do you want me to buy you a collar?" I ask cheekily.

"A what?"

"A collar, in case you get lost, you know, so someone can bring you back home."

"You're not serious?"

"Well, you're a dog and I wouldn't want to lose you," I say with a smile.

"You're not funny."

"I'm a little funny."

"No you're not funny at all. I'm a werewolf not a dog."

"So I shouldn't call you a puppy then?"

"No."

"Well what about a pet name?"

"Kim this isn't funny."

"So Spot's a no then?"

"I don't have any spots."

"It could be ironic."

"Kim please, you sound like Embry."

"Who sounds like me?" Embry booms, rushing outside on cue.

"No one," I say smiling slightly.

"Fine don't tell me Jumper. Anyways, how're you taking the fact your man's a dog?" Jared growls at him, but Embry just grins back, ignoring Jared's anger.

"Fine, how're you taking the fact that you're one too?"

"Hey it helps me get the ladies! You know, with my new found height."

"Wow, Embry how could anyone turn you down, with your modesty?"

"I honestly don't know, but if people keep imprinting on the hottest girls in school there will be no one to hit on," Embry says with a dramatic sigh.

"Why, who else has imprinted?"

"You mean old Jared didn't tell you?"

"Embry, shut up!" Jared growls.

"What? Who else imprinted?"

"I promised him I wouldn't tell Kim, you have to understand. He isn't sure how to act, this is all pretty new to him, and I don't want to mess this up"

"So you're going to keep secretes from me?"

"What? No Kim, of course not, you'll know soon enough."

"Embry, can you give us a second?" I say sternly Embry nods, sends an apologetic look towards to Jared, which Jared ignores, and heads inside.

"Jared Robert Fuller, I don't want you to edit with me. Especially not now, when you just stopped. I want everything to be out in the open you know, no secrets," I tell him.

"Kim it's not really that big of deal, I just promised Paul and I can't turn my back on him. I could never forgive myself if I somehow messed things up for him"

"Paul imprinted!" I gasp.

"Yeah, don't tell him I told you that, he won't take it very well."

"Who did he imprint on?"

"Can you just let this go Kim?"

"Oh my God! Did he imprint on Sam? My Sam? He mentioned her before, that's why he let me go, because of Sam. How could I forget that? Paul imprinted on Sam didn't he?"

"Yes."

"That's, that's good." After my initial shock – I was having way too many of those today – I quickly warmed up to the idea.

"Good?"

"Yeah."

"I thought you wouldn't like it, since he, um, knocked you out. Plus, you know he has a temper."

"Well no, but it'd be good because then Sam can be a part of this. I won't have to hide any of it. And Paul will love her more then most men could," I say.

"So you're really okay with this?"

"Yeah."

"Then, maybe you could help Paul? He's having a little trouble with Sam. She's a little, um..."

"Difficult." I finish.

"That's the word."

"Yeah I could try, I guess."

"You're the best, Kim."

"I know." I joke, and Jared leans in to kiss me, which I eagerly accept.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

I love sitting here and just hanging out, just me and Sam, near the edge of the cliff where the pack goes cliff diving. That was something I did once, and hopefully will never do again. I so blame Paul for that too. We don't really talk about the guys much, sometimes with me and Sam it's easier to talk about the less complicated things in life.

"So where's Jared?" Sam asks, breaking our unspoken no-boy-chat rule.

"With his friends. Where's Paul?"

"How should I know, we're not together."

"Yet," I whisper.

"Shut up Kim, we're not. I still haven't forgiven him for knocking you out. He's not as bad as I thought, but still," Sam explains.

"Whatever."

"Don't whatever me! Who wants to bet Jared didn't want to leave you alone today?"

"No, he was fine when I explained we wanted a girls day," I lie.

"Oh please, it's like he needs to be near you!"

"No he doesn't. He's off with his friends, I'm off with mine, and we're fine."

"Then why are Jared and his friends walking towards us?" Sam says raising an eyebrow.

"He is not! You're just messing with me."

"I am not, turn around Kim."

I whip my head around. Sure enough, I can see the pack, all in swimmers, walking up the cliffs laughing and joking. Even after I explained to Jared that I wanted a girls day! I mean, does he not understand?

"Hey Flasher, Jumper!" Embry screams and begins to wave frantically.

"We are ignoring them," I inform Sam and turn back around.

"So we're going to act like they're not here?"

"Yes."

"So whatever I say, you're just going to answer me like they can't hear?"

"Yes."

"I don't believe you."

"Try me."

"Ok, you asked for it. How's Nathan?" Sam asks.

She was good. It was a little bit of a sore subject, but Jared deserved it. And besides, Nathan and I were just friends nothing more, though I hadn't seem him much lately. Jared walks me to class, making it hard to give Nathan time to talk, since Jared was a little overbearing. The worse part is, I know whatever I say now the whole pack can hear. Oh well, just be honest.

"Don't really know, I mean I don't see him much anymore. It's kind of hard, you know, and he's busy with his friends."

"Please! We all know Nathan is in love with you."

"He is not!"

"Yeah he is, don't lie. Think about it; he always talks to you, never really dates though he has offers, and has stopped talking to you since you started doing Jared."

"I'm not doing Jared!" I say indignantly.

"Well the school thinks you are, so it's the same."

"I don't think it really is Sam. That would be like if the whole school started saying you slept with Paul. It wouldn't make it the same as if you had."

"In a way it would, and that's not going to happen anyway. Plus I wouldn't really care that much."

"Don't lie."

"I'm not."

"Yes you are. Maybe you wouldn't care, but if it got back to your brother you would."

"That's different, I'd have to care! Jake would try and kill Paul, and I don't want him going to jail or getting hurt. I care because of my family, you care because of you."

"Caring is still caring."

"No it's different, trust me."

"Whatever."

"I want you to know that the whole group of shirtless boys over there have not jumped yet, since they're too busy eavesdropping, and it looks like Jared wants to kill Nathan," Sam says.

"Yeah well, I told you I could act like they weren't there."

"Guess you proved me wrong, so are you going to talk to your shirtless boy now?"

"Are you going to talk to yours?"

"I would, but I don't see Zac Efron."

"Very funny, and no since he ignored me when I said I wanted a girls day!" I yell towards him.

"Oh come on Kim, the guys wanted to go diving."

"Oh please."

"It's true."

"Liar liar, pants on fire," Embry sings.

"Shut up Embry," Jared says.

"I think I'll jump instead," Embry says and jumps off the cliff. I can hear Jared walking towards me.

"I'm going to go and leave you with your boy drama."

"Sam don't go."

"No it's cool I have plans anyway."

"With who?"

"An old friend," Sam says and then begins to walk away. I hear Sam and Paul arguing, as Paul is insisting on taking her home, and she finally agrees. I hear them walk away.

Jared sits down next to me and puts his arm round my shoulder. I shrug it off easily.

"Kim, come on. Talk to me, please."

"Jared you crossed a line, I needed girl time and you ruined it."

"I know, it's just some stuff happened this morning and I needed to be around you, but I couldn't interrupt your girls day so I settled for being near you," Jared explains.

"What happened?"

"Well it's now an definite that Max will become a werewolf, my own brother! It'll be good I guess, you know I've been a little distant since I transformed and all, but I don't know if I want this life for him."

"I'm sure everything will work out."

"I don't want him to hear my thoughts either. I mean he'll know everything, how I see you. He'll give me crap for it. It's all so frustrating and he has no idea, but the change is happening soon, I can tell. He's so young, and I want to protect him but I can't," Jared finishes.

"Okay you're forgiven for coming, and I'm sure everything will be okay. Max seems like a strong type of guy."

"Yeah he is."

"Jared, Sam called. Max is sick, transformation sick," Quil calls.

"Oh, I have to go Kim."

"Do you want me to come?"

"More than anything," Jared says and kisses me quickly, before we rush off to go see Max, the soon to be werewolf.

Authors Note

I remember in new moon Jake got really sick before he became a werewolf so I'm not sure if this is right but that's how I'm going to do it, also please understand I might not get all the facts right but the basic idea is I'll do it so Max gets sick and then Jared helps him learn how to transform sorry if that isn't right but I tried and I can't be bothered trying to find out how it really happened still you'll get the idea
