Hey people,
I'm sorry I took a while updating, but I've been in a lot of stress form my mom and whatever. But, it's all sorted and I have to say that I'm glad about the feedback this story is getting. I love it! Here's a picture of what I picture Kai to look like. .
I was in sort of a rush when writing this, so if there's anything wrong or mistakes, please forgive me.
Kai woke up the next morning with strong arms around her waist and the sound of purring. She blinked a couple of times before carefully lifting her head and seeing a huge muscular man behind her. That's when she remembered the events of yesterday.
Right after she had let herself cry on Paul's shoulder, she remembered falling asleep. She didn't remembered telling him that it was okay for him to stay. She didn't like that. He had no right to. Just because she felt comfortable opening up to him like she's never done before doesn't mean that he could stay over.
But she also didn't like how she felt content and happy in his arms. Kai couldn't help but notice that she didn't have nightmares last night like she did almost every night since her sisters and her were separated. She vaguely wondered if they have any trouble sleeping like herself. But she knew damn well they would never tell her. Maybe Delilah would if she asked her but she didn't want to push into her sisters new life anymore than she was.
Kai sighed before extra carefully pulling the blankets away from her body. She slowly raised her body from the bed, careful not to wake the sleeping wolf that claims to be her soul mate. Great, she thought, just another thing to worry about.
Quickly making her way to her closet she picked out the first thing she saw and put it on in record time. She was just about to put her shoes on when she heard shuffling and whimpers coming from her bed. She paused in her process of putting on her shoes, her back hunched over as she stood on one foot. She watched as Paul tossed in turn, his face cringing in distress while he patted the empty space next to him that Kai had left. Kai seemed to stop beating as she waited what would happen next. She let out a sigh of relief when she saw Paul take her pillow and hugged it close to his chest.
She felt her chest tighten and her eyes soften as she thought that that was the cutest thing she's ever seen in her life. How can such a strong and intimidating looking man be so soft and cute? But that was the thing, because he was so strong and intimidating, she was afraid that he might do something to her. She didn't know him, she didn't know anything other than what little was explained to her yesterday. This guy could be dangerous just like her psst relationships had been. She suppose that she could always just end it if things ever did go to that level, but what if she fell in love? She couldn't end her past relationships because she thought that she was in love. She thought that it was just a bump in the road that the couple could get through.
But she was wrong.
Snapping out of her thoughts, she put on her shoes before quietly running to her front door, grabbing an apple and her bag on the way out. She ignored the tightness in her chest as she made her way towards the woods where she would spend a few near the river before going to school. She pursed her lips when she remembered that she was probably in the same school as Paul. Hopefully she would be able to avoid him, seeing as he hasn't noticed her in the two weeks that she had been going. But that was most likely not to happen now that he had already imprinted on her.
Kai signed before taking a seat on a log at the edge of the river. She took a huge bite out of her apple before throwing it to the side. She giggle at the thought of Delilah scolding her if she had been next to her and see Kai throw the apple carelessly on the floor. Oh, she thought, silly earth.
She wanted to practice, but she would have to do it by a far, seeing as she couldn't get wet. So, she pointed a finger towards the river before feeling the blood run through her veins and towards her finger. She twisted and turned her finger, seeing as the water raised and twisted and turned just like her finger. She was just about to shoot it towards a rock when she heard a twig snap behind her.
Gasping, she quickly lowered her hand and shot up, trying to appear completely normal. When she turned around she was greeted by a wolf. But it was too big. It had brown fur and yellow eye, his eyes staring at Kai in fascination and curiosity.
Kai groaned, ''oh god, another one?"
Jacob only stared. He knew who she was. He remembered seeing her in Paul's thoughts and he remembered how Paul had told the pack that she controlled water when he was over at her house last night through pack mind. This was the famous Kai.
''How many are you are there?" Kai asked, expecting Jacob to answer.
Jake shifted, completely forgetting that he was naked. But Kai just seemed to ignore it, as if she wasn't in front of a naked guy.
''There are about eight of us. Seven guys and one girl. You're Kai, right?''
''Yeah, Kai. And you are . . . ?''
''I'm Jacob, Paul's best friend.''
At the mention of his name Kai stiffened in attention. It was when she realized that he wasn't really around that she cursed the way her body was reacting. Seeing Jacob smirk only informed her that he had seen her reaction to her mate's name.
''Well, it was nice meeting you Jacob, but, i'm, uh, gonna be late for school.'' Kai stuttered as she bent down to pick up get bag from the ground.
''Where's Paul?'' Jake asked, pursuing his lips as he tried to contain his laughter when he saw Kai blush and trip over herself at his question.
''How am I suppose to know?'' Kai snapped, irritated with herself and with Jacob at the fact that she was acting like this.
''Well, you're are his imprint, so I just assumed –" he was cut off on his sentence when Kai stepped closer to him, poking his chest in anger.
''Well, don't assume. I don't care if I'm his imprint, I want no relation between the two of us. I'm no ones' free as a bird and shit. Got it?''
Kai seemed shocked when she saw Jacob smirked, but tried not to show it. She was expecting as reaction more . . . wide eyed? Surprised, maybe?
Kai huffed before bending strapping her bag securely on her b shoulder and stomping her way passed him, making sure to nudge his shoulder. It didn't really work since name was stronger and taller than Kai.
''Keep telling yourself that, darling. You're so gonna cave into the Paul love.''
Annoyed by his comment, Kai turned around and was faced to Jake's back. She spread her fingers and palm faced the river before wiggling them and moving her hand above Jake's head. He didn't notice the big ball of water above his head as she squeezed her hand into a fist, watching as the water splashed all over makes head. He gasped before turning around to a smirking Kai.
''Bye, Jacob.''
Paul woke with a jump, his chest vibrating as it rattled with the Lloyd and fast thump of his heart. His forehead was covered in sweat as his body was tangled in sheets. He looked to his right to see that it was empty. She wasn't there anymore. He knew that she wasn't there, that that had been the reason for his abrupt awakening. But he somehow wished that he was wrong. He wanted to wake up to her by his side. But that wasn't possible.
He sighed before running a hand through his hair. He used his wolf senses to quickly check if she was nearby and when he got nothing, he knew that she had probably went to school. It hurt Paul inside that his imprint had to angel out of her own house just to get away from Jim. He would've liked to think that after the emotional session that happened yesterday, she was willing to give it a try; to let him love her and to embrace it. But that didn't happen either.
Seeing as there was no point in staying put, Paul quickly got up and made his way towards his house where he would get ready for school. After the long shower and change of clothes, Paul drove his truck and parked where he saw his pack mattress standing near their own cars in the parking lot. Quickly shutting his door, Paul made his way towards them, only to realize that Jacob is wet.
''What happened to you?'' Paul asked, pursuing his lips in am attempt not to laugh at the soaked wolf.
''You're imprint, that's what happened.'' Jake responded through gritted teeth.
At that, Paul stiffened before looking at his best friend with a stern look. ''What the hell did you do?'' He growled.
''Me? Your imprint splashes water all over me and I did something to HER?'' Jake exclaimed, shocked that he was getting blamed for being wet when it was clear that Kai has quiet a temper as well as her imprint.
''You must've done something –"
Paul cut himself off when he caught a wiff of her scent. He turned around to his left to see her making her way towards the school entrance. She didn't look his way, but she knew that she was being watched. She could feel that push and tug in her chest and belly that made her want to run and jump into Paul's arms. But she refrained from it.
''Kai!''
Kai swore under her breath before turning around to see Paul running up to her. She looked over his shoulder to see the rest of the pack starting at her and Paul. She couldn't help but smirk when she saw Jacob, his soaking wet form, glaring at her. Served him right.
''What?'' She asked when Paul stood in front of her.
She had made the horrible mistake of smelling his cologne. It was musky and delicious. She had to claw her palm into fist to be able to stand her ground so she wouldn't jump him right there. She couldn't.
''Why did you leave?'' Paul asked, not bothering to keep the hurt from his voice.
Kai's eyes involuntarily soften and her heart clenched at the thought of her hurting him. She didn't know that she meant so much to him. But he couldn't, he didn't know her. For all he knew, she was as killer or rapist or something.
''I had things to do.'' She answered vaguely as she put her hands in her pocket and cleared her throat.
''Oh?'' Paul asked, as he arched an eyebrow at her. Hen wanted an explanation. He wanted to know what was so important that she had to be sneaky and leave him without informing him.
''Look,'' Kai started, ''you may think that I'm your imprint. But I'm not. I can't be. I'm not looking for a relationship and you already know why. Just because I opened up to you yesterday doe not give you the impression that it's gonna happen again. I think its best if you just forgot about me.''
And without anything else being said, Paul watched as Kai turned around swiftly and marched inside the school building. His heart broke into pieces and he thought that his whole world was about to end right then and there. But what he didn't know was the Kai was feeling the exact same thing.
I hope you like it! I loved writing it.
