Recap: It was time that she had a little talk with the pack. If they thought Sam was scary when he did the whole Alpha thing, they hadn't seen Emily when she was pissed off.
Emily was going to rip them a new one.
……
..
Sam had transformed into his werewolf form, tracking Embry to where he was in the forest. Already he was being bombarded by feelings of extreme sadness and depression and just a feeling of hopelessness. Leah wasn't exaggerating about wanting to open a vein while listening to Embry's thoughts. Sam saw Embry a few feet away, doing his patrol.
'Embry, what's up with all these thoughts?' Sam asked, his voice in Embry's head.
'Nothing…it's nothing…'Embry replied, his tone sad.
'Don't lie to me.' Sam said, using the Alpha double timbre voice.
Embry's wolf shoulders buckled under the command, his head lowering. Sam watched Embry, pacing around him.
'I'm benching you from patrols until you fix whatever is going on with you, Embry.' Sam commanded, using the Alpha double timbre once more. Embry's wolf form trembled to the ground. Sam ran to the beginning of the forest, transforming and putting his pants on, walking to his house again. Emily met him at the front door.
"Sam, I think Dekan's a bit bummed. Why don't you and she go see a movie in Seattle? I think she misses having her cousin around. It would be great for you two to spend some real time together, don't you agree?" Emily suggested, wrapping her arms around Sam. He smiled and kissed her forehead.
"I think that's a good idea, Emily. I've missed her." Sam replied, going inside the house, pulling Dekan out a few moments later.
"Bye Emily!" Dekan said, getting into Sam's Jeep. Emily waved, walking back into the house. The duo drove off, headed towards Seattle. Emily picked up the telephone, calling each and every pack member.
……
..
Emily had Jake, Quil, Paul, Jared, Seth, Embry, and Leah in Sam's living room, all under the impression that Sam wanted a meeting. It's not exactly her fault when she called and said "The boss wants to have a meeting with you in ten minutes.". It's just they took it to mean Sam, not herself.
"Where's Sam?" Jake asked, looking around.
"Oh, he took Dekan to a movie in Seattle." Emily replied, standing by the kitchen counter.
"I thought you said he wanted a meeting?" Jared asked, standing.
"Sit down, Jared. I said the boss wanted a meeting, not Sam." Emily said, smiling. Leah chuckled.
"Now I've called most of you here because there is something I want to talk about. Leah, you're safe from this." Emily said, looking at each pack member.
"What's all this about?" Paul asked, crossing his arms.
"You're getting ready to find out. Now I know that at least three of you have been having less than nice…conversations…about Dekan." Emily said, looking pointedly at Jake and Quil. She wasn't sure who the third was. Paul was looking a bit guilty, she thought.
"I'm sure some of the others have had not nice thoughts or conversations regarding Dekan. Say, her weight. Anybody have anything to say about this? Jake? Quil? Paul?" Emily asked, challenging them.
"What are you going on about?" Paul asked. The others winced.
"Do not act like you don't know what I'm talking about, Paul. I read those text messages you and the others sent. You better be kissing Dekan's feet that she hasn't shown the messages to Sam. He would have your balls on a silver plate and you know it." Emily said, her tone angry.
"I cannot believe any of you, you three especially," Emily said, looking at Jake, Paul, and Quil, "would have the right, the gall to talk about someone like that. Especially Dekan. There are many things about each of you that I could tease you about. Jake, I could make you cry by mentioning Bella and how she chose Edward. Quil, how about I tell my sister that you're in love with her toddler? She'd have Claire out of her so quickly and far, far away from you. And Paul, how many times have I had to cover for you because you were busy having sex with Sam's niece, Jamie? At least she's of legal age. Do you know how Sam would take that news? You'd be lucky to be alive when he got done with you. But no. You're safe. So if you all want to talk about someone, don't. You do not know the hell Dekan has been through. The next time I hear a bad word about Dekan I will not only tell Sam, but I will tell him after I've had my hands on each and every one of you. I will not be as gentle as Sam will be, I promise you that."
Leah was smiling. The rest of the pack was a bit more shocked. Eyes were wide and jaws were dropped. No one had ever heard Emily speak on bad word, let along bawl a group of people out! Embry was glaring at not only Jake, but Quil and Paul as well. He stood up.
"I want you all to know that the reason I've been so…down. I've imprinted on Dekan. And I don't think she wants me." Embry said, his tone sad. "And Jake, you and Quil and Paul better beg her forgiveness or Emily and Sam will be waiting in line."
"I challenge that imprint!" Seth said, standing up.
"Did you imprint on Dekan, Seth?" Leah asked, surprised. "I knew you liked her but I didn't think you imprinted."
"Well…no, I didn't imprint. But she rejected him." Seth said.
"You are not coming between a wolf and his imprint, Seth." Leah said, crossing her arms.
"And you're one to stop me?" Seth said, standing up.
"Seth, you will not do anything to interfere between Dekan and Embry, do you hear me?" Emily said. "I've had it up to here with all of this and all of you and you do not want to push me. You will not interfere, you hear me?"
Seth sat down and glared, mumbling a "yes". Embry was staring at Emily and Leah.
"Can you help me?" Embry whispered, looking at Emily. Emily smiled and nodded.
"Don't give up on her, okay? She'll come around." Emily whispered.
Embry nodded and smiled for the first time in a while. At that moment, Dekan and Sam walked in.
"What's going on here?" Sam asked, looking around. Embry walked over and gave Dekan a hug.
"Oh, nothing. How was the movie?" Emily said.
Dekan and Embry just hugged.
