This takes place during Eclipse.
Embry's POV
Imprinting on Melody
Sharing thoughts with Jared, Sam, and Quil over patrols had made me never want to imprint. The anxiety and fear they had for their imprints was unnecessary stress in my mind. Jared pretty much had a panic attack every time if he didn't know exactly where Kim was. I was a senior in high school, I didn't want to be tied down to one girl. The thought of imprinting on Melody never crossed my mind. There was so much talk over this new, apparently, blond girl. La Push wasn't the most exciting place to go to school. Everyone looked alike for the most part and it was such a small rez that everyone knew everything about one another. Therefore a new girl was the most exiting that had happened here in years. I couldn't help but feel bad for her, she would have half the senior boys wanting to date her just because she was something new.
The classroom slowly filled with people as I fought to keep my eyes open.
"Man, did you see the new girl!?" Paul's booming voice said as he threw his books down on the desk next to mine, followed by Quil.
I groaned, how amazing could this girl be?
Then she walked in.
I could have swore my heart skipped a few beats. I couldn't stop staring at her. It was like my whole world revolved around her and I didn't even know her name. I wanted to hold her, wanted her to be mine. It took me a few second to realize I'd imprinted on her.
She looked nervous standing in the front of the class. I couldn't believe my soul mate was standing in front of me. She had long light blond hair that reached past her chest. She had a slight tan, but it looked pale compared to the russet color that the Quileute people had on this rez. She was petite, she couldn't have been taller then 5'2. Her eyes were her best asset for sure though. They were a light blue with a tint of green in them, too unique to be contact lenses. I could stare into them all day and never get bored. I could see what all the talk was over her, she was gorgeous. I think she noticed my staring because she gave me a nervous smile as she set her books down on the empty desk next to Quil.
"Dude did you just.." Paul began
"Yeah, I think so,"
I couldn't believe I'd just imprinted. Then it dawned on me that I didn't even know her name.
I turned around, "Hey, I'm Embry"
She looked up from her notebook, "I'm Melody," she said softly with a smile, "Embry? You don't hear that name everyday," she said with a small laugh.
She was perfect. Her laugh and smile became my favorite sound and sight in those few seconds.
"Yeah and you don't see a blond blue eyed girl on an Indian rez everyday either," I joked back.
She laughed, "Yeah, well you know what? Get use to it," she teased lightly. She wasn't awkward to talk to, I'd known her for a maximum of five minutes and I felt like I'd known her all through high school.
I could easily get use to her being around her, Melody Collins.
Melody Call?
Embry's POV
Moving in
"Babe, I swear it's safe for me to carry my boxes inside," Melody said with a laugh as she attempted to grab the box out of my hands
"Melody! I don't mind carrying your stuff, it's fine" I told her for about the millionth time today.
She sighed and shook her head. I couldn't help but smile at her. I couldn't believe she was actually moving in. I got to wake up to my Melody everyday. She had spent most of her time here since I'd moved to this small apartment, but she didn't want to live here because I was still living with Paul. 'It would be too awkward' she repeatedly claimed. I had just about kicked him out when she told me that was the real reason she wouldn't move in with me. When Paul finally imprinted and moved out, she agreed to move in. I hated the idea of her living alone anyways, it was a huge weight off my shoulders knowing she'd be safe with me. I was overprotective but she was my imprint and my girlfriend, it was my job to protect her from anything.
It was unbelievable that something so small could own so much. She had about three large cardboard boxes filled with just her shoes, another box with just hair products, and then all her clothes.
I sometimes envied Jared for imprinting on Kim who had little interest in clothes and fashion. Her shopping trips weren't fun, but she was perfect. I couldn't see myself with anyone else.
I set down the box on the counter as I walked in followed by Melody. She looked up at me. I would never get use to those beautiful eyes of hers.
"I love you," she said sweetly, "Your sure you want me here?" she asked, a bit more nervous.
"I love you too. And of course I want you here!" I laughed at how naive she could be. There was no place I'd rather her be then with me.
She nodded and walked over to the sofa and sat down. I followed her and she rested her head on my chest.
"Do you have patrol tonight?"
"Yep, nine to three," I said with a sigh.
"But you've worked everyday this week, I'm about to go off on Sam if you work tomorrow!" she threatened
I laughed, my little Melody didn't appear very threatening with her 5'2 frame and skinny arms. She was terrified when I brought her to Sam's and she realized all the guys were just as tall or taller then me.
I kissed her forehead and smiled, "Alright baby, good luck with that," I said with a sarcastic tone which got me a slap across the chest, it was probably more painful for her then me though
"You're like a brick Embry!" she complained lightly as she stoop up, probably to start unpacking her stuff.
I smiled as she stoop up, her tiny shorts didn't leave much to the imagination. She'd easily caught the glances off every guy in our apartment building today.
"Can't you do this later?" I yelled after her as she disappeared into my room with her first box of shoes.
She poked her head out from the door frame, "Well why don't you come here and we can figure out something better to do," she said as she disappeared back into my room.
She was standing in the room with her face turned to the closet and her hand on her hip, probably wonder how in the world she was going to fit all her stuff in there.
"Yeah I don't know how my clothes are going to fit in here..." she said as she turned around and looked up at me.
She smiled devilishly at me and I knew exactly what she wanted. I knew Melody like the back of my hand, I'd been with her for a year now.
My lips crashed onto hers as I gently pushed her onto the bed. I was always afraid I was going to accidentally hurt her. She was so small and fragile, so breakable.
She moved her tiny arms around my neck and pulled me closer to her, but not so much where I was crushing her. I slipped her tang top over her head, keeping my lips on top of hers.
"You should shut the door," she mumbled into my lips
I ignored her suggestion and let my hands roam underneath her bra has I massaged her left breast. I heard a small moan escape her lips. I smiled and unclasped her black bra and it fell to the floor. Her tiny hands went to take my shirt off, but we were interrupted.
"Hey man...shit sorry!" Seth Clearwater's voice said as he slammed my bedroom door shut. Did anyone knock anymore!? It was bad having everyone in my intimate thoughts with Melody, but being straight walked in on was a next level of irritation.
I never hated Seth so much in my entire life.
Melody looked up at me with an I told you should have shut that door look. She sighed as she grabbed her bra off the floor and tried to fix her hair a little bit.
"You should listen to me, yaano," she said pointing her finger accusingly at me from across the bed as she retrieved her shirt. She looked mad for about ten seconds before she broke into a smile. She didn't ever stay mad long.
"We'll just have to finish that when you get home from work," she paused, "with all the doors locked and closed," she added as she pushed open the bedroom door.
Seth was sitting on the couch with Jacob who was laughing hysterically at the situation.
"Something funny Jacob?" Melody asked with a raised eyebrow
"Dude why are you even here?"
Jacob finally quit laughing, "Sam doubled your patrol, you start at six now"
I looked at the clock and groaned. 5:50
"You couldn't have texted that!?" Melody piped up from my side
"Do you think he would have actually read that text by six?"
She let out a frustrated sigh and ran her finger through her hair, "Okay you win! But you could at least knock,"
"Alright, let's go" Jacob said as he stood up off the couch followed by a very embarrassed Seth.
"I'll be right out,"
The door slammed shut and I looked at Melody apologetically.
"See you in...9 hours?" she said sadly.
I hated leaving her, it was close to impossible.
"I'll talk to Sam about getting some nights off," I promised as I leaned down and softly kissed her on the lips.
"Please be careful," she said as she did every time before I left for patrol. I felt bad, she was always unessicarily worried.
"You worry too much," I chuckled
"I think that may be because my boyfriend likes to fight vampires and jump off cliffs. Just maybe" she said exaggerating the word 'maybe'.
"I'll be home at three, love you."
"I love you too and lock the door when you come in!" she shouted as I walked out of the apartment building.
I climbed into Jacob's rabbit. Jacob looked at me and then Seth and started laughing as he drove to Emily's to park the car.
"Hey Seth, we're about to be sharing thoughts in 5 minutes and my topless girlfriend better not be one of them," I threatened
This of course, caused Jacob to start laughing again. He had stopped for about ten seconds.
"Uh..I'm sorry about that man," Seth stuttered.
Why did werewolves need to share thoughts?
Embry's POV
One Night Stand
I don't know when or how Leah managed to get herself onto my lap. In a sober state of mind I would have literally threw her off me and probably phased right there. I had Melody, she was all I wanted. But something in me called for Leah at the moment and I could explain it or control it.
"Embryyy you use to be so fun till you imprinted on that barbie doll," Leah slurred as she inched closer and closer to my face.
We were sitting in the back of Jacob's car. She had asked me to come outside with her to smoke a cigarette, but I think that was a clever excuse to get us away from the pack. It didn't matter if they didn't see us, they'd hear about it on patrols. You couldn't have any secrets.
Leah never liked Melody because that left her the last one with no imprint. She left her the only lonely one. I didn't care of course, Melody meant more to me than Leah's bitter lonely feelings. Or so I thought, because sitting in the back of this car proved Melody meant less to me then I had thought. For the first time I didn't want to think about Melody, maybe because it would knock some sense into me. I wasn't thinking about how in love I was with Melody, my thoughts were only lustful thoughts that involved Leah Clearwater.
She made the first move, not that that justifies it. Her warm lips crashing onto mine and she slipped her tongue into my mouth, massaging mine with hers. Her mouth smelled and taste like liquor but I was sure mine did too. She moved her hands to the button of my jeans and unbuttoned it quickly. I laughed mentally, she was like a guy, she didn't waste her time. From sharing thoughts with her we all knew she hadn't got laid in awhile though, so maybe that's why she was so pushy. Not that I objected of course. I pushed my hands to the strings of fabric she called a skirt and pushed it off. She wasn't breakable like Melody, I didn't have to be gently with her.
Fuck. I didn't have a condom on me. I rarely did, Melody was on the pill and she was the only girl I slept with up until now. Jacob imprinted on a toddler, he wouldn't have any in his glove department. I felt like a desperate horny ninth grader.
"I don't have a condom, Leah" I said breaking away from her lips. My hands still roaming over her body.
"So? I can't have kids," she said
Again sober, I would have questioned that. I didn't care though and I just continued to shed my clothes and hers.
So just like that I made the biggest and stupidest mistake of my life. A mistake that shouldn't have even been possible. I cheated on my imprint and the love of my life and hooked up with my Alpha's ex girlfriend. All with bitchy, depressed, and not too pleasant to be around Leah Clearwater. Who actually could have kids, I proved that
I know this chapter was all just flashbacks, but I thought they would make it easier to understand the story and how things were before Embry cheated. I'll try to post soon again, review!
