Chapter 3
Paul entered the school looking ready to murder someone. That's what he looked like most days now. Sam had explained everything to him, how all the legends of their tribe were real and they were wolfing out to protect their tribe against the Cold Ones or Vampires.
Paul would have thought it was some kind of bad joke but the pain he felt in his bones during the first couple of times he phased was very real.
Sam Uley and Jared Cameron had been the first two wolves. Sam had taken up the position of Alpha while Jared was his beta. Within a week though some other guys joined them; Jacob Black who was supposed to be Alpha by blood, Embry Call, Quil Ateara, Seth Clearwater, Brady Fuller and Colin Littlesea.
Littlesea, that last name caught his attention. That was Darcy's last name as well. He soon learned that they were siblings and twins no less. He could see the resemblance a little but Darcy was way too beautiful.
He had been thinking about her ever since he had phased and what he had done. Sam and Jared hadn't been very judgmental though. They could see through the mind link how remorseful he was and let him be. Sam was smart enough to never let Colin and other guys patrol with Paul since they might look into his mind and know what happened. Sam didn't want that kind of drama in his pack. He had enough trouble handling the newer wolves.
So it was decided that Paul would patrol with Sam, Jared or Embry only.
Embry was good at concealing his thoughts. He was surprised though that Paul would actually be filled with remorse for something like that.
Today, Paul's skin prickled. He knew Darcy would be in school and in the same building as he because the lockers had been shifted and he was quick to find out which was hers. He wanted to see her. He had left her alone during the break since he knew she needed the distance. He had later found out that she was visiting some relatives in a different city. He could only hope she would return and not decide to stay away from La Push and him.
He wasn't in the mood for conversation as he came to school. The guys wanted to talk but he waved them off and after seeing Colin there and smelling an intoxicating scent on him, he just knew Darcy was in school as well.
His heart pounded as he walked inside, slowly. His heart was working overtime but he was working on instinct. He just had to see her and make sure she was OK. The desire to see her was almost painful and Paul knew then that she was special. She wasn't like anything else.
He had been walking with his head down but it snapped up when he smelled her. He didn't know how he could make out it was her but he just could and she smelled mouthwatering to him. He gulped when he felt himself grow.
Shit! This girl was something else.
He spotted her best friend who was also Embry's imprint, standing next to a tall girl. He couldn't help but gaze at the other girl and before he knew his feet were taking him to her. It took him only a moment to realize that the heavenly smell was coming from her.
He watched closely as Lexi whispered something to her and she stiffened before turning around and looking straight at him.
Paul inhaled sharply as their eyes met. He should have known. Right after Sam had told them about the legend of the Third wife. He should have known he would find his soul mate in the girl who he couldn't stop thinking about. But he didn't. Now the impact of the imprint was strong and his heart pounded and blood seemed to gush in his veins.
He couldn't help but drink her in. She had grown taller definitely and more…more toned? Yeah. Her skin seemed to glow. If it were possible she had become even more attractive and beautiful. Her eyes caught his attention the most.
They were alight with some emotion he was sure his mirrored. He couldn't help but feel elated that she was feeling the imprint as well.
Her eyes said it all. While her posture was stiff, her eyes wandered over him before settling on his own. He felt a tug and he started walking towards her.
The minute Lexi said not to turn around was the exact same moment she did. And the sight before her made her breath hitch.
He was here. The one person she dreaded but wanted to see as well. It was strange how conflicting her emotions were. He looked the same yet didn't. He seemed taller and more muscled. His t-shirt hugged his chest and arms making them pronounced.
She couldn't help but let her eyes wander over him. He was magnificent, a sight for sore eyes. It was his face which caught her attention though. His stubble gave him a rugged look which she had always loved on him but it didn't seem intentional. It looked like he had neglected it. There was a frown on his face but then his eyes met hers. Darcy couldn't help the gasp that escaped her. His eyes seemed empty, the mirth that was there in them, absent but then he looked at her and it was like he could see through her, right into her heart and mind, her soul, as cliché as it sounded, she felt like he did. As if he could read her and know her deepest fears and secrets.
She heard Lexi gasp as well and muttering something before rushing out but she could not escape the hold of his eyes.
There went her plan of avoiding him, of convincing herself she was over him. He still had a hold on her and she felt it strengthening the longer she stared at him. He seemed to be in some kind of trance as well. He looked at her in a way he never had and she found herself loving it even if she hated admitting it.
He started walking towards her with a determination which made her legs turn to jelly.
He reached her and she looked up at him and felt her legs give in. He was quick to catch her, one arm around her waist, the other behind her neck and that's when…
….the warning bell rang.
AN" Ok guys, this is the last chapter where I am asking for reviews to let me know if you like the new storyline. After this chapter I will be deleting the old chapters and continuing this story. So please let me know. Next update will probably be on Sunday/Monday depending on where you're from.
