Chapter 7

Everything hurt even my eyelashes seemed to ache. I wished I hadn't woken up until my wolf had healed completely. Sure, we heal fast but, it doesn't mean we don't feel the pain like any other human being. Having my pack with me was what pulled me through. Their mere presence eased my pain. Knowing that the cub and they were safe made all this pain worthwhile. Emmett, bless his little cotton socks, was a blithering mess. Without his mate at his side, I think he would've lost the plot. Even going to the bathroom seemed to be too much for him, wanting to stay by my side. Embry became the glue that held him together, to pull him out of his fears. Two days later, I was ready to get up but, Embry told me to stay in bed until mama wolf Sue came and checked on me. It turned out that she was Seth's mother who made herself the pack's mother and earned the name mama wolf. She never shifted herself as it was rare to have a female shift.

Sue came walking in and looking at her face today, I thought there was some mistake from the women who threatened me when I first woke up. She shooed my pack out and shut the door sitting on the bed and gave me a smile that reminded me so much of her boy. "Let's see how we are healing shall we? Embry told me you behaved like a good cub," she smiled starting with the bandage on my face. She gave a smile assuring me there would be no scarring. The bandage around my ribs was next and I knew that they were already healed. However, she gave them a gentle push before declaring them healed. I gladly sat up by myself ready to get on with my life. "Excuse me young man but, what do you think you are doing?" she asked pushing me back down.

"Getting up, I have a pack to take care of, Sue," I said deciding that it was best to remain calm.

"Not till I give your leg the all clear you don't, You get on it before it's healed, you will have a permanent limp. Just ask Jacob's father if you don't believe me," she said. "Now why don't we see what we have under here," she said suddenly pulling back the sheet. As wolves, we don't wear anything when we sleep. It just gets too hot. Sue raised her eyebrows but, didn't say a word. "You would think I would remember you boys like to be free willy," she giggled grabbing a pillow and covering my bits. I had no issue of anyone seeing my goods. After all, I had nothing to be ashamed about. She put her hand on my leg and I let out a growl. She pulled back and waited for me to relax. Embry and Emmett came running in with worried looks on their faces. Sue just waved them out and sighed. "I'm sorry but, we have to re-break it, Paul. Damn, I knew I should've checked it myself," she said pulling out her phone. I groaned. I hated having my bones purposely reset because it didn't work the first time. "Jacob, when you have a few minutes, I need you and Sam to come to alpha Paul's place. I suggest you bring the little one. Let's see how well his gift works," she said flicking the phone shut and patting my shoulder.

"I can get Emmett to do it," I sighed knowing full well that the big lug would hate doing it but, it was an evil necessity. He would cry like a baby and feel guilty until I was up and about.

"I think your beta has been through enough the last week," she said raising her eyebrow. I nodded in agreement. "Good boy," she kissed my forehead. I swallowed the lump in my throat. I hadn't been called a boy in over thirty years and only my mema kissed me like a mother could. I knew for sure that Sue would forever be my mama wolf too. Sue changed my bedding without any help from anyone and kept up constant chatter. I knew she was keeping my mind off the pain I would be going through all too soon.

"Mama," Jacob walked in kissing Sue's cheek. Behind him was Sam Uley and a young cub I hadn't seen before. Obviously, he was a submissive, his scent sweet. He stood hiding behind Sam.

"My boys, come now, Colin. if you would be so kind as to sit behind Paul and hold him around his waist," she asked.

"Sue, please he, you can't," Sam said pulling Colin to his chest.

"Sammy, its fine. I will be okay, I promise," the cub named Colin said. I had to agree with Sam. This mere cub was small and had no idea how strong my wolf was. Colin put his hand on Sam's chest and I watched as it glowed. I looked at Jacob who winked, before pulling Colin from Sam and picking him up, placing him behind me. "Hi," Colin said sweetly putting his little legs on either side of me his hot breath tickling my neck making the hairs stand up.

"Mine," Sam growled. I had no intention of going there with the cub. He was not for me and my wolf was calm.

"Sammy, stop being all possessive," Colin said making the beta huff and sat down by my legs glaring at me.

"Samuel Uley, he is not yet yours until he turns of age," Sue snapped.

"Yes ma'am," he bowed his head. God, that woman is more powerful than any alpha. Jacob was chuckling lightly

.

"What's the gut's?" Jacob said finally, coughing and moving by my injured leg. My body immediately tensed and my wolf let out a feral growl. Colin wrapped his small arms around my chest and I began to calm almost straight away. My wolf was fighting him though, he wanted to be in control. I heard a whimper behind me and my wolf whined as he was submitted to the young cub. Not his power but, his anger. We were calm together. I hadn't heard what mama Sue said to Jacob.

When I woke up, I was sitting up leaning back on Emmett's large chest. Embry was sitting between my legs leaning back on me. "I made a dick of myself didn't I?" I sighed.

"Oh, you screamed like a baby," Emmett chuckled making me and Embry bounce.

"God, look who's talking," Embry giggled rolling over my good leg and laying on his stomach with his legs bent at the knees while propped on his elbows. "You were very brave. We didn't hear a thing, Paul and you've only been out a few hours," he said smiling.

"Chris was here earlier to see how you were. He stayed until he needed to go on patrol. I like him a lot, he's a good kid," Emmett said.

"Soon as I'm up, we will have him join us," I sighed my leg felt so much better. Embry gave my shoulder a kiss and jumped up going to the door. "Emmett, I want you and Embry to go sleep in your room, I am fine now. Your mate needs you more than I do," I said leaning more into his chest not wanting him to leave me just yet. His large hand ran through my hair and I sighed in contentment.

"We wanted to be with you, Paul and we have been banging away while you slept," Emmett again chuckled. Bastard, I should've know they would've shagged in my room.

"What have I missed Ems?"

"Not much, boss. Jacob has the pack working patrols in teams as we keep picking up James' pack scents. As you know, a new submissive has phased, little Colin. Chris said Seth is really close and Quil is having to stay with him if Jacob is not in sight of his mate. As for us, nothing. I've done patrols while you were out and Embry stayed with you," he said. I nodded. He was right, nothing of real importance except for James' pack still sniffing around. I wasn't happy about Emmett being out there alone though.

"No more patrolling until we can both run," I said sitting up when Embry walked in carrying a tray. "I could get used to this," I chuckled as the tray was put on my lap. Emmett got up grabbing one of the bread rolls off the tray. "You shit, get out of here," I growled. Emmett just stood there eating the bread roll with a stupid smirk on his face. "Ems please, I need to have a private word with Embry. He will be out in a moment," I said. Emmett nodded kissing his mate and he left shutting the door behind him. "Okay, so tell me, what have I missed other than what Emmett told me?" I asked.

Embry smiled and sat on the bed picking up the spoon and lifting it to my lips. I shook my head and took the spoon from him. He really was a mothering kind, he was going to be a good mother. He sighed. "He told you everything I know other than Jacob is getting worried. Seth is close to phasing, it could happen any day now. Paul, I know who your imprint is going to be. His name is,"

"I don't want to know. I am going to fight the imprint. I want to find love like a normal person," I growled.

Embry grabbed my face in his hands and made me look him in the eye. And there was I thinking I was in charge. "Now you listen to me and listen good, Paul Lahote," he growled. "You cannot deny your imprint. Just because you imprint on someone doesn't mean you wouldn't have loved them if you hadn't," he sighed. "How do I say this so you understand? If you had met your imprint while you were a human, you would fall in love and live happy ever after. The power of the imprint just confirms it. Jacob was straight and only wanted a girl. Or so he told us. He was adamant he would never have a male mate. Not one single person was surprised that Jacob would mate with Seth. The love he had for his imprint was there since the day he met him as a baby. No one was allowed to hurt his pup. They were destined to be together. God, I suck at explaining this," he pouted. "Paul, don't fight it. He is a good guy," he said getting up and going to the door. "I promise, you will love him," with that, he walked out the room closing the door open.

I put the tray to the side of the bed and closed my eyes. I knew he was right but, I was scared. What if I wasn't enough for him? I was too old or not his type. He was from Jacob's pack, what if Jake didn't want to give him over? I already had two of his pack. I was surprised when the door opened and in came Jacob.

"Jake everything okay?" I asked worried. I would've thought he would be near his imprint so close to his shifting.

"I need your advice about something," he said as he sat down grabbing my tray of food and began demolishing it. I raised an eyebrow but let him continue eating. Once he

finished, he placed the tray at his feet. "God, I miss his cooking," he sighed patting his stomach."

"You wanted my advice on something?" I reminded him.

"Yeah, right," he got up and started pacing. He stopped and looked at me. "I need to mark Seth as my mate as does Sam with Colin. With James' pack still sniffing around, there is the chance that he could try for one of them, or both," he said worry etched on his face.

"Of course I don't blame you but, what advice do you want from me?" I asked confused.

"Do I tell Sue before or after I mark him," he sighed. "She knows everything but, this is her baby we are talking about," he said sitting down looking at me.

"Seriously," I chuckled. "Jacob, what is the difference if you mark him today or in eighteen months you honestly think you're going to be able to control your wolf for that long? Fuck, Sam was ready to jump Colin the whole time he was here. Speaking of which, care to share what his gift is?"

"Empath, it was a real surprise with that one? I wonder what Seth's will be," he smiled patting my healing leg. I growled grabbing my leg. "Shit, sorry dude, my bad," he said standing up, his wolf on alert. "Look, what I want to know is that if anything happens to me, will you would take care of my cub for me?"

"Wait what? You seriously think if you mark Seth, Sue will harm you, a mere human?" I laughed.

"Actually, no," he sat on the bed. "I know you have an imprint and you would never touch my mate if anything happens to me. Even though Sue is scary, I think she would let me keep my balls she loves the idea of being a grandmother," he smiled. "But seriously, if I should for some reason have to leave my pup, I want you to take care of him," he said smiling sadly. "You have an imprint, Paul or soon will have when you met him. Br" I growled.

"Don't speak his name," I said running my hand over my face. "Jacob, I will honor your wish but, can I ask why you would think anything would keep you away from your imprint?"

"There has been an attempt on Alpha of alphas, they believe he is going to lose his fight for his life. If that is true, I will be taking his place and I am not ready. I'm not ready and my pup is certainly not ready," he said.

"Shit! Who the hell attacked him?" I asked.

"That's the thing, no one knows. His pack was all but destroyed and those who survived never smelled the scent of the pack. I need to train my pack to fight. I would gladly accept yours and Emmett's expertise as well. The quicker they are trained the safer it will be for all packs across the world," he said the worry of the world on such young shoulders made my heart ache for the alpha.

"It would be our honor Jacob Black. You can count on myself and I speak on behalf of Emmett and Embry as well, we will do whatever we can to help," I said holding out my hand.

"Thank you, Paul. Now get some rest or you will have me in trouble with mama Sue," he chuckled going to the door. Once he was gone, Embry came in with a fresh tray of food.

"You heard him, you need to rest but first, you eat and I am not leaving until your plate is clear," Embry said sitting on the floor cross legged.

"You know, I am seriously thinking of changing my mind about us being equals in the home because you, Embry Call are a bossy bitch," I said digging into the food. Embry chuckled as well.

"Wait until you meet your mate, then you will think I am a pussycat," he said smiling. I sighed. Embry shook his head. "Paul, please promise me you will give him a chance. Don't fight the imprint. You're a good man and you deserve to be happy," he said. I had already finished the food on the tray. Getting up Embry, came and took it from me. "Rest, we will hopefully have our alpha in the morning," he smiled kissing my forehead before leaving me to sleep.

I woke to the sounds of my beta and submissive moaning. The room was dark except for the soft glow of the moon through the thin blinds. Turning my head, I watched Embry on his knees sucking Emmett's cock. I turned away not wanting to embarrass them because I was awake. My wolf snapped, angry that he was not the one getting sucked by the submissive. My cock growing the longer they continued to make the delicious sounds of pleasure. I willed it to go, my scent of arousal would not go unnoticed by either of them. Although, I was pretty sure that the were too far gone to notice my slight problem. I should really have told them I was awake and to go to their own room. I took my cock in hand and started stroking it closing my eyes and imagining I was fucking some sweet little submissive. I felt the bed dip behind me and I quickly turned to see Embry on all fours as Emmett prepared him. Both men had their eyes on me.

"We wondered how long it would take," Emmett said as he pushed a finger into his mate. Embry moaned pushing his ass against his lover's finger.

"What the fuck are you doing? You're killing me here," I growled sitting up with my painfully hard cock.

"We want to show you how much we love you," Embry said kissing my cheek.

"What are you talking about? I know you love me now get out of my room," I snapped.

"Paul, please," Emmett said moving so his ass was bared to me.

My wolf roared with lust wanting to possess our lover once more, be damned if he was mated with another. Only he could take the dom, not his precious wee submissive Emmett's ass was his for the taking and take it I would. I put my fingers into Embry's mouth and let him suck me while I kissed Emmett. God, I shouldn't be doing this, I thought to myself. They are mated; my best friend and my pack brother. My wolf disagreed however. Emmett was his for the taking, mate or no mate. After all, he was not marked so he was for the taking. Embry let my fingers fall from his mouth and moved so that Emmett was right at the edge. I stood on my good leg behind him resting my full weight on him. I grabbed his cock and lined it up to his mate's ass and feel him pushing into his tight ring of muscle. So fucking tight I was sure. Embry and Emmett moaned together when Emmett is fully seated in his mate. The little submissive was panting, getting used to his mate's large appendage inside him. All the while, I was preparing Emmett when I brushed against his prostate and he growled in pleasure but, remained perfectly still. It didn't take long for me to prepare my beta and pull my fingers out. Standing on one leg, I lined my cock to his ass and pushed myself through the tight ring of muscle. His heat felt so good around my cock.

"Fuck, someone move already," Embry moaned, his legs shaking.

I slammed into Emmett making him push further into his mate and making the submissive yelp. I grabbed Emmett's hips and pulled him back as I slammed into him again. My wolf was in control of both men's pleasure. I was controlling this whole thing. As I pushed into my beta he pushed into his submissive. It wasn't long before the room filled with our moans and growls of pleasure. Who needed an imprint when I could have this? We were in tune with one another. My wolf roared with pride making both men beg for me not to stop. Taking control was where he was happiest. I felt the tight ring of Emmett tighten more and he came into his mate hard and fast. Embry begged for him not to stop. Even it Emmett wanted to he couldn't. After all, I was still slamming my cock into him harder and faster than before, Emmett's groans louder than I had ever heard before as he was milked dry by his mates sweet little ass. Embry grabbed hold of Emmett's leg as he too began to cum, not needing to stroke himself, the pleasure he was having enough to satisfy him fully. With a few last inhuman-speed thrusts I came shooting my hot seed into Emmett's pulsating ass. One by one, we collapsed on top of each other with poor Embry at the bottom. I rolled over taking Emmett with me. My chest was heaving onto his back. Emmett never lost contact with his mate, their fingers entwined with one anothers. Coming down from the orgsam, I pulled out of Emmett guilt ridden. What kinda fucked up alpha was I? I got up not giving a damn about Sue's orders and went to the bathroom. I leaned over the sink trying to sort out my head. The door opened and Emmett limped in. I had fucked him really hard and he would be feeling it for a few days by the look of him.

"Paul what's wrong?" he asked pulling me into his strong embrace after he turned the shower on.

"That will never happen again," I said wiping the stupid fucking tears that fell.

"Did you not enjoy it?" he asked.

"Ems I loved it just like I love you but, it was wrong. You belong to Embry, not me anymore," I said pulling back.

"I will always belong to you, Paul. You're my alpha and my best friend. We wanted this, both me and Embry," he said smiling and kissing my forehead.

"Thank you but like I said, never again. I need to find my mate," I said looking over Emmett's shoulder into the eyes of the little submissive.

"I will take you to meet him tomorrow, if you like," he beamed with a smug look on his face.

"You little shit," I chuckled pushing away from Emmett. "You two can have the bath. I need a real wash tonight.
