I panicked like anyone else would I ran into the house and grabbed the frying pan and then hit Eric/Paul over the head with it. I honestly don't know why but it seemed like a good idea at the time. Eric/Paul let out a groan and then was fine. Bloody great even a frying pan won't knock it out. My nan then came rushing round the side of the house and saw it.
"Ariella are you ok sweetheart. Don't be afraid he won't hurt you but protect you. Sam is on his way over now. He will sort Paul out. Then you two can have a nice chat." She then walked off somewhere why must she be so weird? A huge black wolf then came running through the trees followed by a brown wolf. I slowly moved back until I reached the porch and then tripped over it. All three wolves looked at me. Awkward. The brown wolf disappeared and then Jared came out.
"Jared please tell me you can also see this."
"Yes I can. Come on let's go inside." As we walked in the two other wolves disappeared in to the trees good. I asked him lots of questions but he would only say ask Paul.
"I would but he went poof and then the wolf came" Jared only raised his eyebrows.
"Ohh he is the wolf. I thought so."
"Well why did you ask? Look I don't think he will be long and don't be too harsh. I've got to go meet Kim and do not say a thing about this to her ok."
Well that was rude, but he was right Paul came in 5 minutes after Jared left. My brain seemed to have disconnected from my body as when he walked in I jumped into his arms and hugged him. He then strangely hugged me back, we never hugged before. After a while I slid down until my feet reached the floor and then we sat facing each other on the floor.
"Look Ari. I'm sorry I couldn't tell you this before. But as you can see I am a werewolf or a shape-shifter. You know from the legends."
"Yeah I know. My nan says they are protectors of the tribe and some are also protectors of special people and you lucky to have one."
"Your nan is right. Well Sam, Jared and I are werewolves who protect the tribe. The things your nan said are right but it is also known as imprints. This is where the wolf sees the girl for the first time after phasing and feels a connection it isn't love straight away they grow to love them but they have a connection. It is a way of finding your soul mate."
"That is such a nice thing. At first I thought it was you know leaving an imprint on the soil to mark your territory. Let me guess Sam and Emily and Jared and Kim are imprints. Have you got one?"
"Yes I do. She's a feisty girl." Shit. There goes my chance I would have loved to be his soul mate. Tears started falling out of my eyes. Not on purpose believe me.
"Wait Ariel why are you crying? You're my imprint." I jumped on him for the second time today. He twirled me around and kissed me. He told me all about werewolves.
"Why did you say no?" damn I hoped he had forgotten
"Well I did say no but I was going to say afterwards that you had just broke up with your girlfriend and that I couldn't be a rebound"
"You silly girl you would never had been a rebound. I love you too much for that. Come on let's go to the beach" we were sat on the beach when I got an idea.
"Ask me Paul."
"Ask what?"
"Ask me again Paul I'll say yes for sure."
"Oh ok Ariella Nayelli Harlow will you be my girlfriend?"
"Of course I will." He spun us around as kissed me with so much passion and love. I was finally the girlfriend. About bloody time too.
