Chapter 3

And now back to the thought process of Naomi Summers…..

The drive to the reservation was quiet. My suitcases were packed and I was ready to move in with my future husband. I had never even met him. I was really not looking forward to this. Today, I was wearing a white sundress, with white high heels. I don't know why my mother insisted on me dressing up; I guess she wanted a little wedding feeling to my wedding.

I mean, come one, the wedding was in a living room for crying out loud.

I sighed and my father looked at me from the driver's seat. His eyes reflected in the rear view mirror.

"It's going to be ok, Naomi." He said. I nodded. "I know it is. At least I'll get to see you when this is all over." I said. My parents exchanged worried glances.

"What are you not telling me?" I asked. My mother coughed and then spoke.

"Well, one of the requirements was that we were not to have any contact with you when this pact wedding was over." She said. I gasped.

"WHY WOULD YOU MAKE THIS PACT TO BEGIN WITH?" I yelled. It had been six years since I found out about this pact, and I was reacting now? My mother smiled and turned to my father.

"At least we got some kind of response." She said. My father nodded and continued to drive.

He then spoke. "Well honey, you see, the tribe saved our lives from a bunch of robbers one night and we just feel like it's our duty to give back a little." He said. I sighed.

"Don't you think that you are giving back a lot!?" I asked. My father nodded and sighed. "I don't know what to tell you, but there is nothing I can do. The pact was already signed and I'm a man of my word." He said.

I nodded and felt the tears coming to my eyes. "Oh, sweetie, don't cry, you'll smooth your makeup." Said my mom. I chuckled in horror.

"I was about to be thrown away, and all she could think about was makeup." I sighed.

I guess this was it. I was going to do this, and there was no getting out of it.

We parked the car, only to see a lot more cars on the lawn. I sighed. This was it. I was to wait outside while my parents did their part of the ceremony. I waited and waited for what seemed like hours, then my parents came out, and walked right by me, not even saying goodbye. I gasped.

"Did you ever really love me?" I asked into the air. I guess not. Why else would they get rid of me so fast? The chief came out and got me, and I followed him into the living room. He spoke. "It is time for the uniting ceremony." He said. He took my hand and led me to the middle of the room.

"Sam Uley, step forth." He said. This was it. Sam Uley was the man I was to marry. I took a deep breath in and waited, not realizing that I was holding my breath. A man stepped forward, and I almost fell over. He was hot and sexy, with muscles in all the right places.

His eyes were chocolate brown orbs that drew me to them, and his hair was a dark brown color. He stepped forward, his eyes never leaving mine, took my hands and spoke.

"I, Sam Uley, take you, Naomi Summers, to be my wife, my companion, and the mother of my children, till we die." He finished.

I sighed and looked to the chief who then spoke to me. "Do you, Naomi Summers, herby change your name to Naomi Uley, and accept this man's claim to you?" he asked.

It's not like I had a choice, so I spoke. "I Naomi Uley take your name, as my own, claim you as my husband, and claim you as the father of my children, till death do us part." I finished.

I had memorized that for weeks, so that I could say it right. Sam smiled. It took me by surprise a little, but I smiled back with unease and waited for the ceremony to continue.

Sam's P.O.V.

She claimed me. I could not be more excited. I had seen her for the first time today, and it was as if she was all that mattered. I had imprinted on her, and she was the only one for me. I walked toward her, and held her hands in mine. They fit perfectly. I stated my claim and waited. It felt like I could hear everything ticking as I waited for her part to be over. She finished her claim to me, which made my heart beat with pride. This might not be so hard after all.

Naomi's P.O.V.

Driving is what we were doing. Sam was driving his truck and I was in the passenger's seat. I didn't know where we were going, but Sam had said he had something to show me. I nodded and followed him as we reached our destination. He got out of the car, came around to my door, and opened it for me.

He then reached his hand to me, for me to take it, as an aid to get out of his truck. I was still in my dress, so his help was appreciated. He held my hand in his. It was so warm, like he was running a fever. Was he sick? Was he ok? Why did I care? I sighed. This was so much emotion, I didn't know how to handle it.

Sam stopped and turned to me. "Are you ok? You sighed." He said. I nodded. "I'm fine, it's just a lot of walking." I said. Before I could think about what was going on, Sam had scooped me up, bridal style, and was carrying me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and waited for him to put me down.

We walked for a good half hour. Sam didn't seem to get tired from holding me. I felt his heart beat and his warmth was greatly appreciated with me being in a dress, in the middle of the woods. Finally, Sam put me down. He turned to me and spoke.

"The treaty or pact, states that honesty is key to our relationship, so I'm going to be honest with you. I'm a werewolf." He said.

I raised my eyebrows and didn't say anything, waiting for the joke to be over. He sighed.

"I'm serious, here, I'll show you." He said as he ran into the woods, leaving me in high heels in the woods. I gasped.

"The nerve of him, leaving me here in a dress and high heels, in the middle of nowhere. What am I going to do now?" I asked the air.

The next thing I knew, I heard a big rustle in the bushes.

I slowly turned to see a big black wolf coming out of the bushes. I gasped. "You are a beautiful wolf, and so big." I said, reaching my hand out to it.

Its head went right to my hand and I gasped. "Sam?" I asked.

The wolf nodded and I could almost see a smile on its face." I sighed. "Ok, I believe you. Can you change back so that we can talk please?" I asked. The wolf nodded and took off into the woods.

I waited a second and Sam came out of the bushes, with a pair of cutoff jeans on. His muscles were tight and showed off. I caught myself drooling.

"So, you believe me?" he asked. I nodded and smiled. " I absolutely love wolves and it just so turns out my husband is a wolf." I sighed. "I couldn't be happier." I said. Sam smiled. "Well, there's something else." He said. I nodded. "Ok." I replied. "I imprinted on you." He said.

"What's that?" I asked. Sam smiled. "It's like a gravitational pull to you. You are all that matters, my soul mate, at first sight. It's like the earth stops and I would do anything for you." He said.

I smiled. "That sounds romantic. " I said. Sam smiled. "It can be, some people allow for an imprint to be a brother, friend, lover, and even just a pet." He said. I smiled.

"Well, what do you want it to be?" I asked. Sam smiled and then spoke. "I am so in love with you, head over heels for you, that I just want to be with you every step of the way." He said. I smiled. Maybe this wedding thing wouldn't be so bad after all.

"Come on." He said picking me up once again." It's time to go to our home." He aid. I liked the sound of that.
