xPaul POVx

Emily won't say a thing about the Vanessa girl. All I hear to indicate that she's even in this house is the sound of her even breathing coming form the spare bedroom. I was a little worried though, it was two-thirty in the afternoon and this girl was still passed out completely.

"Em, when's the food?" I ask, trying not to be an asshole.

"When it is, boys," Em pokes her head around the corner to the living room. "Shush, or you'll wake up Vanessa." She scolds them.

"Sorry, Em," Collin and Brady say together in that weird twin way. They shut off the game and came into the kitchen ten minutes later as I hear an, "Ungh," come from the girls' room.

I wait another five minutes and then hear quiet, uneven footsteps coming down the hall. Every other step is signaled by a soft, audible thunk. I look over to see a girl in an orange tank top that's pushed up over her hip at one point, showing her smooth, tan skin; from sleep no doubt, with plaid blue and orange short shorts that made her hips look absolutely amazing. She had a gold chain around her neck with a solid gold looking figure skate on the end of it. As I watched her walk down the hall I noticed she was hobbling so I looked down to see her entire right leg covered in a bulky black walking casty - bracey thingy. Holy hell, what did this girl do to herself?

She looked at each of us quickly before putting one finger up to her delicious looking mouth to tell us to keep quite as she sneaks up behind Emily and yells, "Emily!" as she wraps her arms around Em's shoulders.

"Holy shit! Jesus Nessa, you really shouldn't give people heart attacks like that." Emily scolds her.

"Sorry, I just couldn't help it," she grins impishly.

"Yeah, yeah, I know, I'm an easy target. Oohkay, so these are the boys; Sam, Jacob, Embry, Quil, Collin, Brady, Jared, Seth, and Paul. This is Jared's girlfriend Kim, Jakes girlfriend Renesmee aka Nessie, and this here is Claire, whom Quil should be babysitting right now," she scowls at him as she clings to her ankles, making it impossible to move. "Guys, this is Vanessa,"

"Rochester?" Embry asks.

"Don't remind me," she responds, crestfallen.

"Um…sorry?" he offers as she laughs, looking to Emily.

"Ooh, Em, by the way, I'm changing my name. I'm no longer going to be known as Vanessa Rochester, the skater. I'm getting rid of it. From now on, I'm Vanessa Mai."

"Vanessa Mai? Where did that come from?" I ask in a very cocky tone.

"Mai happens to be my middle name, thank you very much. Is that a problem to you?" she responds bitchily as I look into her eyes for the first time. And once we make eye contact, my world stops. My world just altered completely. I want nothing more than to protect her. To keep her safe from the world she lives within.

I looked at her lips and wanted mine to suddenly be on hers. She was mine, and anyone who got in my way would wish they were never born. Mine, my wolf growls.

FUCK! I just imprinted on Emily's cousin, world class skater Vanessa Rochester…Mai.

"Paul," Emily warns me. I snap my gaze away from Vanessa and level a pleading one towards Em.

"Not my choice, sorry," I tell her as I back out of the room.

"Paul, its ok man," Sam appears at the door. "Just spend time with her and get to know her, ok? If she ends up hurting because you make a jack ass move and ignore her, Emily will kick your ass." He warns, "Not me. And I won't be stopping her."

"Ok, I just need some air. Lemme go for a walk or something. I'll be back," I say as I dart around Sam and head towards the beach.

xVanessa POVx

I felt a small tug on my heart as Paul backed out of the room. What was that all about? Why does it hurt because he walked out of the room?

"Hey Em, can we go to the beach? It looks nice out." I ask.

"Sure, let me take off the eggs. Go change into a suit or something, and I'll be ready in a second." She says.

"Oohkay," I smile as I wobble down to my room and pull out my plum purple Victoria's Secret string bikini, white short shorts, and my white lacy cami from old navy. I change, grab a towel and slide on my white flip flop before heading for the kitchen where eight oversized boys were wolfing down eggs and bacon.

"You, Quil, you're on dish duty," I tell him, leaving no room to argue. He merely looks at me, startled, before nodding. "Oohk," was all he said.

"Good boy," I pat his curly head as Emily appears in black shorts with a green bikini halter top. "Cute," I grin, exaggerating the 'u.' "Let's go," I grab her arm and pull her along.

"You're lucky. You must have brought this weather with you. It's warm and only mid-march. It's strange," she tells me.

"Yes, because I'm the best," I grin.

"What's that?" she points to underneath my towel.

"My cast cover. It's a water resistant thing and keeps sand out too," I tell her.

"Clever," she laughs as we get to the beach and walk down the coast. I slip my cover onto my leg so I don't get my brace filled with sand.

"Wow," I whisper as I look up and spot a beautiful grey wolf looking animal sitting at the edge of the woods.

"What?" Emily asks as she follows my gaze. "Paul," she hisses. Paul? The wolfs head snaps towards us as he backs into the woods.

"Paul?" I ask as I look into his eyes and see the familiar grey with the green ring around the pupil. "Paul?" I ask again, whispering this time. The wolf dips his head and stops backing up.

"Well, the wolfs out of the bag now," Emily says from my side. "Paul, phase back," she sighs. "Might as well explain now." She says as the wolf disappears into the woods.

Thirty seconds later, Paul [human Paul] comes out of the woods, wearing only a pair of cut-off jean shorts.

"Explain what?" I ask nobody in specific.

"Paul," I begin. "Was that wolf…you?" I ask.

"I…yes…Me, Sam, Jake, Quil…all of us turn into wolves. We're made to protect our tribe, our people." he explains.

"Oohkay, what's up with these weird feelings I've been getting though?" I ask.

"That's because of imprinting. It's when a wolf finds their soul mate. They look into each others eyes and the wolf suddenly wants to protect her, nothing ad can come to her. She balances him out, helps control his anger. He's anything she needs him to be; friend, protector, lover; anything." He explains.

I stay silent for a moment, taking this all in. the Quiliute spirit gods just chose this god of a man for me? Me?

"Oohkay," was all I said as I moved forwards and hugged him.

"You accept the imprint?" he asks, shocked.

"Yes, I accept my imprint," I smile.

xPaul POVx

"You accept the imprint?" I ask her, shocked as I hug her back.

"Yes, I accept my imprint." She smiles up at me, resting her chin on my chest.

"Your imprint?" I ask, chuckling.

"Well, if I'm apparently owned by you now, literally, I own you too," she grins.

"Not exactly…" I tell her.

"Damn," she pouts.

"Do you still want to go swimming?" I ask her.

"Sure, I guess. Em, you still up for it?" she asks.

"Sure, let's wait for the rest to get here though." She says.

"Oohk," Em says as we go over to the edge of the woods and sit on the logs. I pull Nessa onto my lap and look down at her.

"Emily?" I hear Sam yell as they make their way onto the sand.

"SAM!" she squeals, launching herself at him.

"Hey, guys all clear. Is Nessie clear to cross the border? I want her to come swim," Jake asks as he exits the woods to my right.

"Yeah, it's all good. Why don't you invite all of them to come?" Sam tells him.

"Thanks, Sam," Jake grins.

Vanessa suddenly shoots up from my lap. "LEE-LEE!" she screams as Leah spots her and sprints to her.

'NESSA!" she yells as she collides with her in a huge hug. "Oh my god how are you? How's Aunt Gloria and Uncle Glen? How's Australia? and skating? Oh my god, what happened to your leg?" she rambles out, asking the most important question I hadn't yet; her leg.

"Chill, Leah, breathe, I'm good. They're fine, I guess. I landed my quad wrong in the Olympic program at the Olympics. They're pissed at me. So angry, so I left. I'm living here with Emily now. I broke my femur, my calf bones, [yes both of them], I have a bunch of cracks in my knee cap, and I tore my acl clean in half." She explains.

Ouch, my mind tells me as I merely stare at her.

"Jake!" I hear Nessie scream as she launches herself at him.

"Hells Bells?" I hear Vanessa say.
