Disclaimer: I own nada, just three pairs of old Converse. Those things are comfy!

AN: If you can guess who the person at the end is... you'll get a sneak peek of the next chapter. I bet that you don't know! Anyways, this story is also soon coming to an end.

Matteo

Embry's POV

I followed after a very angry and beautiful Mallory Moon, as she trudge through the backyard of the Cullen's Mansion. She stopped on her track when she saw Addivani and Ruben arguing. She shrugged and continued walking. I held my breath for a few seconds, as I watched that idiot, staring at my imprint.

I continued to follow her and saw her muttering angrily at herself. I wanted to know why she hated her birthday. I guess, that it could be the fact that her twin brother died when they were born. I don't know pretty much about the details of Moon's and her twin brother's birth, because, I left before they were born. I do know that after they were born, Dr. Cullen kept the little boy's body to study it and find what caused his death. Or that's what I was told by Jake.

"I hate my fucking birthday!" she grunted, slamming her fist against a tree trunk. The poor tree cracked in half and slanted to the side. "You can come out of hiding. I can smell you!" she said irritated.

At first, I thought that she was speaking to me. I stepped out of the shadows and that's when the wind picked up and I smelled him, too.

From the thicket, came the thick voice of Nahuel. "I was looking for Leah." Nahuel said nervously, as he stepped out from behind the large tree. "Is she not here?" he asked in his thick foreigner accent.

"She doesn't mingle with my family that much." Mallory said dryly, as she walked towards a tree and leaned against it.

"Your family is very kind." he said, taking a few steps closer to where she stood, I started to freak. What if he hurt my angel? And what the fuck did he want with Leah? "I have met them before."

Duh! I remember. If it wasn't for you, Nessie would have died. I couldn't imagine a life without Nessie. If she wasn't born, then Sarah and Moon, would not be here. I can't fathom a life without Moon. It hurt my heart just thinking about it.

"They are." Moon said happily and then turned serious. "Too bad that the rest of the Cullen aren't here. Why do you need my aunt, Nahuel?" she asked, raising an eyebrow as she stare at him quizzically.

How did my precious girl, know him? I bet that Leah showed her pictures or she probably touched Leah and saw her memories.

He hesitated for a minute, but took another step closer to her. You, sir, better keep your distance from my imprint. "I want her to know that I am ready." he said.

"Ready for what?" she asked intrigued. Yes, ready for what, Nahuel?

He sighed and stared at Moon. "To be the man she deserves." he said solemnly.

I took a step and stopped when I heard Moon laughing. "You are so late." she grinned, taking a step towards him. "Look, Nahuel, she is with someone and she is expecting his baby." she informed him.

OK, this has seriously turned into a fucking weird conversation. Leah pregnant? Who was the father? Is that why she barely went on patrol? Curiosity was killing me! Damn, I wanted to know!

I continued to listen to their conversation, but I had to sneeze. . "Embry, you can come out too!" Moon said annoyed.

I did as I was told, smiling nervously at her. She pouted her perfect lips, but then smile at me. Nahuel took a couple of steps back and went rigid. He knew what I was and since he met us, he had kept his distance. The bloodsucker was smart!

"Nahuel," I said emotionlessly. "I wonder what brings you here."

He straightened his back and nodded. "Sir, it's a pleasure to see you again. It has been more than thirty years since we last saw each other." he said casually.

"I believe it has been that long." I said politely, walking to my angel and wrapping an arm around her shoulder. Mallory snuggled closer to me and encircled my waist with her arms.

"Do you know where Leah is?" he asked, playing with his hand.

"No," I answered, staring down at him. "She might be in Seattle." I told him. Hell, I didn't keep tabs on her. I only cared for Mallory. I only wanted to know where she was.

"She suffered so much after you left her." he said, his eyes focused on the us two.

"And you picked up the pieces of her broken heart, I bet." I said sardonically.

He nodded. "You left her broken and empty. I happened to come across her in New Jersey, when she was searching frantically for you." he said sourly, narrowing his eyes as he stared at me.

"Look, Nahuel, I think that you should leave." Moon retorted angrily. "IF you have something against Embry, then you have something against me."

Nahuel raised his hands, to calm her down. "I don't have anything against either of you. I only want to find Leah to speak to her. I hurt her too and I have come to apologize to her. I did not mean to be offensive"

Sure, sure, he does't have anything against me! Please, you can tell that the mother fucker is jealous of me!

Mallory sighed and exhaled deeply. "I'm sorry. I just don't like it when you attack my boyfriend like that. I also don't like to be reminded that my own aunt and my boyfriend dated back in the days." she said dejectedly.

I am so sorry, Moon! I didn't know that I would be meeting you and that you would be , my soul mate and my ex-girlfriend's niece.

"I am sorry to bring up the past." Nahuel said, staring daggers at me. Of course, you aren't! "I apologize for making you uncomfortable, Ms...." he trailed off, extending his hand for her to take.

"Ms. Black-Clearwater." she said proudly, extending her hand to greet his. I knew that the only reason she took his hand was to see what he was thinking. Her powers were very useful. She held his hand for a little longer and eyed him suspiciously.

"What brings you to Forks, WA, after three decades of not being here?" I asked curiously.

Nahuel shifted uncomfortably and then turned to face the woods. "I have that wanted me to come with him to Washington. I came with him and thought that it would be nice to see Leah again and pay the Cullen's a visit too." he said gravely.

Leah? Cullens? A friend of his? I didn't like the sound of it. I had a feeling that something was going to happen. I knew it involved Moon.

Nahuel puckered his lips and started to whistle. "I also came to help my good friend find answers to his past." he said nonchalantly, veering his head to face us. He smiled smugly at us and I felt Mallory's entire body tense.

What the fuck? Why was Mallory acting so peculiar? She unwrapped her arms from around my waist and started ambling towards Nahuel.

"What's going on?" I asked worriedly, as I watched them both staring at the thicket. I stood behind Mallory and placed my hands on her shoulders, gazing at the same direction she was glancing at.

"My heart is hurting, Em." she said telepathically. "I feel pain and hurt, but those feelings aren't mine." her voice barely a whisper in my mind. "I am feeling someone's pain. I don't understand!"

I gulped hard and whiffed the air as a strange scent invaded my nostril. It was familiar, yet different from what I had smelled before. "Baby," I thought, knowing full well that Mallory Moon would be able to hear me. "Do you smell that?"

She nodded, turning her head to face me. "I do and I feel his agony and suffering. Nahuel's friend is very confused and hurt. He wants to find his past. I feel his anger and I don't know why." she said sadly in my head.

"Has this happened before?" I asked her worriedly. She shook her head and sighed.

"Not like this, Embry." she said softly in my head.

I glanced at Nahuel and he stared at us confused. It was none of his business. The cold wind began to blow stronger and the scent became stronger. Mallory was getting edgy and unsettled. Fuck, what was happening?

"I am scared." she murmured, as she played with her pale hands. I wanted to comfort her, but I couldn't. Whatever she was feeling was out of my reach.

After a minutes of staring at the vegetation and dense trees, a dark figure emerged. He was wearing jeans and a white v-neck tee shirt. He was as tall as me and his hair reached his shoulders. He looked Native American, but I didn't know him. I have never seen him in La Push. He smelled familiar, looked familiar, but at the same time, I didn't know who he was.

I felt Mallory Moon move under my touch, as she took a step forward. The stranger was staring at her intensively. Had he fallen in love with my green-eyed angel? Fuck, I wasn't going to let that happen!

"Hi!" he finally said, as he extended his hand for Mallory to take. "I'm, um, well, shit! I forgot my name." he laughed nervously, running his hand through his dark locks.

I was starting to shake, but then stopped when Moon took a step back and collided with my chest. "Embry, I am scared!" she said telepathically, as she looked up at me. "I'm scared of him."

She turned her head to face him and waved shyly at him. "I-I, um," she trailed off, when Nahuel laughed.

"His name is Matteo." Nahuel said heartedly.

I stared at Nahuel smug face and wanted to punch him and his friend Matteo. I had a feeling that those two were hiding something.

"M-Matteo." Mallory stuttered nervously. "I, well, um, I am Moon. Mallory Moon Black." she managed to say, still leaning her back against my chest.

"I know." Matteo said impishly, his smile broadening. "I have known."
