I own nothing!

Anya POV

I wake up to my hand feeling over heated and sweaty. I slowly open my eyes and try to look around. I look and see who was holding my sweaty hand.

"Paul?" I whisper.

"Anya!" Paul says. He looked so happy and relieved.

"Paul," I say.

"Yeah?" he asks.

"I don't care that you're a werewolf. I love you." I say smiling. Paul sat there frozen for a second then his face lit up. He crushes his lips onto mine then pulls back but kept his forehead on mine.

"I love you too." He whispered.

"The doctor said that you can go home but need to rest." Paul said.

"Okay." I say smiling. I would do anything as long as Paul stayed by my side. He helps me up.

"So how bad do I look?" I ask him.

"You look beautiful all the time." He said kissing the top of my head. I roll my eyes.

"Honestly did I bruise my face?" I ask him.

"Yes." He said.

"Is it bad?" I ask.

"No." he said quickly.

"The truth." I say smacking his arm.

"Kinda. Your whole right side is bruised and you had passed out from hitting your head but no concussion." Paul told me as if it was the end of the world.

"At least I didn't break anything." I snort. Paul growls quietly. I pat his arm gently.

"Let's just go home." I say and he takes my hand as we walked out of the hospital.

Anya POV

I was standing in Emily's kitchen again helping her make muffins for the guys since there are three new members, Jacob, Quil and Embry. My bruises were all gone now too which made me really happy.

"Hey, Emily, Anya!" Jared said brightly as he sat on the kitchen chair. Embry sits next to him and Quil sits next to Embry. I look up and see a pale looking girl walk in after them.

"Who's this?" Emily asks with a smile.

"Bella Swan." Embry said.

"Hello Bella, I'm Emily and this is Anya." Emily introduced the both of us. Bella looked away quickly from Emily's scarred face. Can she be more obvious?

"Hi." Bella said shyly. Emily sets the muffins in front of the three guys then quickly darted back so the boys wouldn't eat her arms too.

"Would you like a muffin?" I ask Bella.

"Uh sure." She said and I quickly stole one muffin from the two guys and offered it to Bella. Emily hits the two boys with a wooden spoon and told them to stop hogging all of the muffins.

"So where are Paul, Jake and Sam?" I ask.

"They're here." Jared said glancing at the sliding glass door.

"Hey." I breathe as Paul walked towards me. He kisses me. "What happened?" I asked looking at the already healing scar.

"I kinda lost my temper and phased in front of Bella. So Jake got angry and we fought." Paul said honestly.

"You lost your temper again?" I sigh.

"I know I'm sorry. I promise I'll try really hard next time." Paul said with pleading eyes.

"You're apologizing to the wrong girl." I say narrowing my eyes at Paul and he looked really scared. He glances at Bella.

"Sorry." Paul said.

"It's alright." Bella awkwardly said and nibbled on her muffin. Bella and Jacob soon went for a walk and we were left in a comfortable silence. We all broke off into different conversations.

"Are you mad?" Paul asks worried as he takes my hands into his large ones.

"Kinda but I forgive you." I say kissing his cheek on my tiptoes. He smiles and hugs me.

"Anyone hungry?" Emily asks as she pulled out some more muffins from the oven to replace the eaten ones. "Why should I even ask?" Emily rolled her eyes as the boys grabbed at the food.

Few Days Later

Emily told me that Bella was hanging out with her lately and she seemed to really enjoy the company. And I finally made enough money to get my own little place.

Paul came over to crash at my place one day and told me about the red headed vampire who running around the border.

"Hey you okay?" I ask Paul who was lying on my junky couch. It was all I could afford with the money I had left from my account when I was still living with my father.

"Yeah just really tired." He said into the pillow. I sat on his back and flipped through a magazine about home décor.

"Am I heavy?" I ask him without looking up from my magazine.

"Not really." Paul said mumbling into the pillow again. Then suddenly I hear snoring. I roll my eyes and get off of his back. I used all of my strength to flip him over so he couldn't suffocate himself with the pillow.

I take a deep breath then sit on the ground flipping through the magazine again. I really needed something to lighten up my living room. Then I found the cutest looking lamp. It said that the lamp could be purchased at any lighting store. I'm going to have to go to Seattle to buy it sometime.

A Week Later

"I'm still angry that Bella left us for vampires." I say punching the dough in my kitchen. Paul comes from behind me and hugs me.

"I know." He said kissing my cheek. "And I'm angry that the red head keeps escaping." He growled.

"Aren't you supposed to meet up with the pack and Cullens?" I ask.

"Shoot, I gotta go sorry." He said. He kissed my cheek then ran out of the house. I roll my eyes.

I felt better that Leah, Seth, Brady, and Collin now joined the pack. More wolves the safer the pack.

I roll the dough into a perfect shape and put them on a cookie sheet. I throw them into an oven and wait for them to finish.

Finally, I pull them out and let them cool on the counter. I needed to have something for Paul to eat when he gets home. So instead of staying up and waiting around I head towards my bedroom to rest for the night.

It was the day Paul had to go out and fight the vampires. I hugged him then looked up at him.

"If you come back with more than a scratch I am going to –" I say.

"I know, I know." He said kissing me again. "I'll be fine."

"Just be careful." I say giving him one last hug before he ran off.

"Come on Kim, Anya." Emily takes us inside.

The waiting was terrible. We were all so worried that they would return injured or worse but we tried not to think like that. Then we heard a howl. We all jump up. I see Leah rush towards us.

"Jacob got hurt because of me." Leah said with a lot of emotion. I hug her.

"I'm sure it's not your fault." I say calming her as she clung to me.

Anya POV

We decided that since the winter was over we should all head towards the beach and enjoy the day. I tried to invite Lizzy and Drew but they had something to do.

Today I was going to wear my bikini. Emily aren't ashamed of her scars so why should I? I wore Paul's t-shirt over my swimsuit as we walked towards the beach. The sand was now warm since the sun made an appearance and the water looked inviting.

"Let's go!" Paul yelled as he ran towards the water. I slowly strip off the shirt then walk towards him. I see Emily and Sam sitting a distance away with Brady, Collin and Seth digging in the sand. Jacob, and Embry were cliff diving. Kim and Jared were wading in the water and Quil and Claire were building a sand castle.

I was close to Paul now who was waiting for me impatiently. When he turned to look at me he glanced at my stomach. Then I saw him starting to shake. He quickly walked up to me and grabbed my arms.

"Who did this to you?" he growled as he shook me.

"It's nothing." I say trying to calm him down. I see the guys all stop what they were doing and rushed over to us.

"It's not nothing." Paul roared. The guys shoved Paul away from me.

"Okay you're right. When I was younger I was attacked by this stray dog. That's it Paul. Nothing else so you can just calm down." I snap. I didn't know why I was snapping at him but his tantrums lately drove me up the wall.

"I am calm." He said trying to take a deep breath.

"Come one man, relax." Jared said. Paul took one last deep breath then stopped shaking.

"I'm sorry." Paul said shaking his head.

"That's what you always say." I say on the verge of tears. Paul sometimes loses his temper and it scares me.

"I know, I promise I'll try to control it." He said.

"Aren't imprints supposed to feel safe around their wolf?" I ask him with my back turned.

"Yeah they should. Please just look at me." He begged.

"I'm going home." I say then stormed off the beach.
