A/N: Sorry it's been awhile. Things here have been crazy. I hate packing. I really appreciate all the reviews and story alerts. Thank so much for that. I promise to update as soon as I can. Please be patient with me. I've had some reviews that just said the word update. I'm happy that you want to read my story and can't wait for the next chap.

I just want to explain that sometimes the real world prevents me from keeping to my update schedule that I set for myself. Especially living on base housing to the worlds largest Naval base. Sometimes our whole community is put on lock down because of serious threats and that means no Internet, no phones, no leaving the house and humvees and MP's patrolling the neighborhood. Sadly as dependents living on base we are targets for threats. So please bear with me and I promise to keep up as best I can. Thank you so much and please enjoy the next chapter.

I know that you guys are waiting for Moxie's big date and I promise it will be in the next chap. This is just a look into how Caine is feeling and thinking. Thanks again.

CPOV:

"Fuck Caine keep your head out of the clouds." Caden scolds me like a child. "Shut the fuck up bro." I say annoyed at my brother. "Dude you've been really distracted lately." Caleb says joining in on the brotherly bonding. "It's nothing you can help me with." I say storming out of our room leaving both of them to stare after me.

I strip and phase in the woods behind our house. I take off for a run to clear my head. I decide to go to the only place that I can find some answers. My grandparents house in Forks. I race through the woods and everything is like a green and brown blur as I push myself faster and faster. The large white house with a wall of glass comes into view. Growing up we never really spent much time here since my vampire side of the family left forks shortly after me and my brother's were born.

I phase back and pull on my cutoffs. I can see the lights on. Before I can even knock the door is swung open by my tiny Aunt Alice. "Come here and let me hug you. Oh my god you look so much like your father now." Alice squeals and pulls me into a tight hug. For someone that is so small she sure is pretty strong. "Hey Aunt Alice." I say as she drags me into the house. The living room is full of boxes bursting with blue and white party decorations.

"I'm glad your here I could use the help putting these lights up." She says happily. "Yeah I'll help but I want to talk to grandpa first." I say and watch as her tiny mouth turns into a frown. "Fine, he's upstairs in his study but I fully expect your help when your done talking to him." Alice says pouting just a little. "I promise." I say flashing her a huge grin. She shoos me upstairs with a small laugh.

I knock on the door to my grandpa's office not really sure how to put into words what's been going on with me. "Come in Caine." My grandfather Carlise says. With his vamp senses I'm not surprised he knows it's me. Aunt Bella once told me that Caleb, Caden, Sienna and I have a distinct scent that separates us from everyone else. It's not entirely human or vampire or wolf. She said we smell like winter and Christmas. Cold and spicy like fresh snow and gingerbread with a touch of sweetness.

I open the door and grandpa Carlise walks over to me and gives me a warm hug. He pats my back in his fatherly way and beams at me. "Wow...you boys have surely grown up. Sienna too." Carlise says his voice full of pride. "Grandpa can I talk to you for a moment? I have some questions." I say nervously. "Sure son. I'll answer as best I can." He says motioning for me to take a seat. I flop down on his large brown leather sofa while he gracefully takes a seat in high backed chair.

I run my hand over my face not really sure how to begin. "Let me guess, this has to do with imprinting." Carlise says the fatherly concern in his golden eyes. "Yeah. I...just...I'm not sure but I think I might have imprinted on Moxie." I say still not completely sure if it's true. "Ahh...well I guess it's time you knew the truth. I just didn't think I would be the one telling you this." Grandpa says his face softening slightly making him look more human.

"Tell me what?" I ask sitting up straighter. "Well, I just thought you would be having this talk with your father. I guess I can tell you what I know." He says and gets up from his seat and walks over to his large mahogany desk. He opens a drawer and shuffles through a few folders. He pulls out a large manila folder and strides over to me. "This is part of the information I've been gathering about you and your siblings as well as Nessie and other hybrids." Carlise says going into doctor mode.

"But what does this have to do with imprinting?" I ask looking at my grandfather dumbly. "Well Caine it has a lot to do with it. Look your father didn't want to say anything until he thought you figured it out on your own. But I guess now is just as good as time as ever." He says taking a seat next to me on the sofa. I just look at him and wait patiently. "Caine when you first phased you were only a year old but you looked much older. You did in fact imprint on Leah and Embry's daughter Moxie but both of you were just so young." Carlise says watching me closely.

"What...uhh...how could I not know it?" I ask completely dumbfounded. I can feel my anger rising a little. How could they keep this from me? "Son, you were just so young and it wasn't a complete imprint. It won't be complete until she phases. She needs to be immortal like you. At least that is my theory." He says still eying me like I might lose control and phase at any moment. "I...I...just don't understand. Does Moxie know?" I ask running my hand over my head trying to calm myself down.

"No she doesn't but Leah and Embry do. Before your father stepped down as alpha he could see into your mind when all of you were phased. He felt the imprint but he knew it wasn't strong. That lead me to believe that it won't be complete until she becomes a wolf, which is most likely a definite because both of her parents are wolves." Carlise continues in his doctor mode.

"So once she phases the imprint will be felt by both of us. The connection I feel to her will be stronger." I say a little apprehensive about what that means for both of us. I know how much Moxie hates imprinting and my stomach turns at the thought of her hating me because of it. "If everything goes as I theorized then yes but right now it's only an educated guess. We have to wait and see what happens when she phases for the first time." He says patting my back softly.

"I hope this talk helped clear some things up for you." Carlise says getting up and going back over to his desk. "It did a little grandpa. I'll see you later. Aunt Alice suckered me into helping her decorate for Rocco's party." I say and slowly trudge my way downstairs. I spend the next several hours helping the little pixie string up white and blue Christmas lights and move furniture around.

"Thanks snuggle bunny for all your help." Alice coos at me and I can't help but blush at my nickname she gave me when I was a newborn. "Can you please not call me that." I plead with my aunt hoping she will let it go. "Aww...i don't care if your one or one hundred you will always be my snuggle bunny." She says sweetly. Her small face lighting up with motherly adoration. "Fine." I huff and turn to leave. "Umm...aren't' you forgetting something." Alice says tapping her tiny finger on her small round cheek.

"Yeah, yeah." I say rolling my eyes playfully at her then placing a light peck on her cool cheek. "Good, now go tell that mutt of a father of yours that I need him here bright and early in the morning. Esme has really outdone herself for Rocco's party and I need all the help I can get." She says and shoos me out the front door.

I flash her a quick smirk and rush towards the woods. I strip and phase as fast as I can. Thankfully my brothers aren't phased yet so I can have some piece and quite while I process what my grandfather told me. I decide to pass by Moxie's house just to make sure things are OK. I guess it's part of the imprint. I want to make sure she is always safe.

I pass by the back of the house and I can easily pick out everyone scent. Dali and Allegra both smell like tropical flowers while Calla is more of a cherry blossom. Yasmine smells like dark chocolate while Sienna smells more like honeysuckle and cinnamon with an icy bite. Then there is Nessie. She smells a little sweet like vamp mixed with the smell of the sea. But Moxie smells better than anyone of them.

She smells like oranges mixed with the scent of fresh rain. It's intoxicating. I pass several times feeling that slight tug that will only get stronger when the imprint is finally complete. Even if she wasn't my imprint I would still love her. She's tough, sassy, and brilliant. She's everything I'm not.

As I make my third pass by the house I catch a new scent. This one is definitely male. Sage with too much cologne. I stealthily cross to the other side of the woods so that I can see the front of the Call's house. I see red when I notice its Remy. I watch as the cougar magnet idiotically swaggers his way up to Moxie's front door. I try to rein in my growl as I watch him knock on the door.

I can't help but feel a little relief as I watch Embry open the door with a look of mild disgust on his face. Even though Embry has retired he's still fit and intimidating looking. He's well over six feet but not as wide as Quil or built like my dad. But he's still impressive looking. Lean and well sculpted. Then I see Aunt Leah and I can't help but grin to myself. Now she's the one to worry about. I tower over her but I'm still scared of her. Her temper and bad ass attitude is legendary.

Before they can scare him too much Moxie comes bounding down the stairs and onto the porch. The sight of her has left me breathless. She's beautiful. Her long chestnut hair is curled softly and hangs around her shoulders. Her make up is natural making her look like she's glowing and her glossy full lips are so inviting. Then I let my eyes roam her whole form.

That dress is amazing looking on her and I know only one person that could have picked that out. Alice. Moxie's tiny frame is hugged in all the right places. The bright yellow brings out the golden tones in her smooth caramel skin. The dress is sleeveless and stops right at her knees showing off her luscious legs. For someone so short her legs go on for days. I want to both thank and curse my pixie aunt for making Moxie look so divine.

I can't help but growl deeply as I watch that douche Remy look at her like she's some piece of meat. The wolf part of me wants to stalk and tear him to bits while my vamp side wants to drain him dry.

Easy Caine. Caleb says

I'm fine. I say back

No your not. I can feel the hunger rolling off of you. Caden says joining in with Caleb.

Can the both of you just back off of me. I'm fine. I say never taking my eyes off of Moxie.

Hey fucker, you haven't been hunting for almost two months. Caden says racing towards me.

So. Is the only response I can come up with because I know he's right.

You need to hunt tonight. No more putting it off. Caleb says passing by my right side.

I'll order you if I have to. Caden says his deep baritone tinged with his alpha power.

Fine but only after Moxie's date. I say fully intending on following the two.

You can't be fucking serious. Mox is going to castrate you if she finds out your were following her on her date. Caleb quips behind me.

Who says she's going to find out. I say a little cockily. I set off following her intoxicating scent.

This isn't going to end well. Caleb says shaking his massive white furry head.

Definitely not. Caden says the humor rippling through his thoughts.

I can feel them phase back leaving me to my mission. She's my imprint and no man whore gigolo is going to keep me from wining her heart.

A/N: Please review. Next up finally Moxie's date with Remy. Caine isn't going to let her go without a fight. Things are going to get wilder soon. And the Volturi will make an appearance in the next few chapters. That is when the tie in to Can't Fight The Moonlight will come into play.
