Broken Moon
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
AN: As you all can tell, I have been having writer's block. I am tapped out, since I started doing so many essays for English and Science class. I tried to write a story about Moon and Embry, but I couldn't get it to where I wanted it to go. I started reading the messages that I got and I came across one that Laurita, my good friend, wrote. She suggested about writing more about Seth Jacob and here is something about him. It is on Em's and Moon's POV. I hope that you guys like it. By the way, I made one of the triplets a werewolf. I hope that it's entertaining. Also, this is part I of III, so enjoy and review.

Embry's POV
I swear that today was not my day. First, I was angry at Moon for forgetting our anniversary dinner and now… she was in my arms and I was pinning her against the door. I didn't want her to leave me. I loved her and she was my world. I couldn't live a day without her. We were going to take our relationship to the next level, but then the doorbell rang. Ugh! I hated the damn door bell. It was annoying and it was interrupting my alone time with Moon.
"Don't answer it," she moaned against my lips, as she pressed her body closer to mine. I tightened my hold around her and shook my head.
"I can't." I whispered into her ear. "What if it's your father and he catches us in this compromising position. He might kill me and I won't ever get to make you my wife." I said, giving her a cocky smile.
"No," she whined, wrapping her legs around my waist. "It's not Papito or Daddy Jacob. It's Seth Jacob."
"Great," I said, pulling away from her. "I will see what he wants."
"Embry," she sighed, as I sat her on the bed. "I know he is my brother and I love him… But it was getting good, baby" she said with an impish smile. I nodded at her and gave her one last kiss on the lips, before I sauntered down the staircase and ambled towards the front door.
I growled inwardly as I opened the door and found myself staring at Matteo Alejandro, AKA, Mr. Seth Jacob. He smiled and peeked inside my living room, trying to see who was inside. I sighed and returned his smile with a forced grin.
"Matteo," I paused, taking a step forward and closing the door behind me. "How can I help you?" I said nonchalantly.
Matteo took a few steps back and stood there uncomfortably. He played with his hands and looked at our surroundings. "I was following Moon's scent and it led me here." he said, smirking. Damn, it was like looking at a combination of Seth and Jacob. Totally creepy!
"And?" I asked uninterested.
"Well, we were supposed to go hunting together." he said casually. "Is she in there?" he asked, pointing at the house. I nodded and leaned back against the wooden wall of the porch. "Are you guys, um, busy?"
"Excuse me?" I asked embarrassed. Dude, that is like an inappropriate thing to ask!
He faltered and then turned around to face the porch steps. "I am sorry; I didn't mean to pry in my sister's business. To be honest," he said, turning around to face me. "I have no idea how to act around my family, especially her."
OK, this was intriguing. "Why?" I asked curious.
He walked towards the balustrade and leaned against it, as he crossed his arms around his chest. "Well," he paused and then scratched his chin nervously. "They all have their interesting lives and I am just an average Joe. I have nothing to contribute to the family. I guess, that, well, I don't know, have you ever felt out of place?" he asked me, his blue eyes staring at me quizzically.
"I, well, right now." I said. He chuckled and then turned his head to the side. "I mean, I was young once and I felt awkward, but, yeah, I have felt out of place many times in my life."
He sighed and placed both hands on the balustrade and groaned. "It's just too much to retain in my head. I was expecting to find my parents and I thought that it was enough to fill my heart, but, today, I was in the supermarket and I saw this girl. She was a little younger than me, but, I wanted to follow her and protect her." he said sadly. "I followed her around the store and I got sad when she didn't pay attention to me. She completely ignored me and I felt empty."
I laughed. "You followed her around? Like stalking her?" I asked mockingly. He narrowed his eyes at me and nodded. "Describe how you felt, while being around her, Matteo?"
He shifted on the balls of his feet and shrugged. "I don't know. I was happy being around the triplets and my niece Crissy this morning, but when I saw her, I, well, I felt alive. It's strange. It was like my life didn't matter anymore. All I cared about and still care about is her. For example, she is too skinny and I wanted her to eat enough. What if she was sick? Not getting enough food? I started to worry a lot about her. It's strange, because I don't know her." he said, slamming his hand against the wooden column of the porch. "I wanted to protect her… when I saw her cross the parking lot to her car and disappear down the street… I felt lost and empty and cold..."
I bit my lip, trying hard to not laugh. Poor dude, he had imprinted and he didn't even know! "Dude, you have to know certain things that happen to us, werewolves." I said, walking up to him and bobbing my head.
"You," I paused, when I saw a red blur fall from the sky. I adjusted my eyes and found Moon smiling widely at us. She had overheard our conversation. "Mall, what the fuck?" I laughed.
She smiled at me and then turned to her brother. "I couldn't help overhearing the conversation that the two of you were having." she said sheepishly. "I, um," she cleared her throat and then played with her hands. "I wanted to hear the conversation better, so I kinda, well, I was leaning against the window ledge, when I lost my balance and fell. I am a little klutz at times, thanks to my great grandmother, Bella." she said, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment.
"It's OK, sweetie, come." I said, reaching for her hand. She quickly recovered from her embarrassment and hopped up the steps and took my hand. She wrapped her arm around my waist and we stood facing her brother.
Matteo was smiling at us and then his expression changed. I knew that look in his eyes. I felt it many times… but, deep down, I was hoping that he found that girl. She was his happiness and universe. Without her he was going to feel completely lost in the world. I could imagine feeling helpless and lost without my Moon.
"So, you were saying?" Matteo asked impatiently. "What happens to us, werewolves?" he asked eagerly.
"Y-" I began, but Mallory Moon placed her finger over my lips.
"Don't tell him yet, love." she ordered. "Give me ten minutes. I have to get Papito and Daddy to hear this. I bet that they are going to be happy!" she shrieked, then took a step forward and stood in front of her brother. he was looking down at her and smiled, as he placed his enormous hands on her shoulders. "S.J., I am going to get Daddy and Papito. So, don't start the conversation without them!"
I could see Matteo's expression and he didn't want anyone to find out, but before he could object she was gone.
"She is fast." he said, as he looked at the direction she had taken. I nodded and then turned my attention to him. I might as well be kind to my future brother-in-law. "OK, she is gone." he said, turning to face me. "Tell me what the fuck happens to werewolves?"
"Are you hungry?" I asked him.
"Always." he responded curiously.
"Then let's go inside and have something to eat, because what I have to say is going to take a little long to explain."
Fifteen minutes later, I was in the back porch barbequing ribs with Matteo. We were talking about different things, as we waited for Moon to return with her father and grandfather. He asked me about how I became a werewolf and how I was affiliated to his Cullen family.
"Who the hell are those two wolves with Moon?" I asked loudly, when I saw that Moon was back and four werewolves were following her.
I recognized the russet furred and the sandy colored furred wolf, but there was a black one with red patches of fur around the head and eye and a fairly small brown wolf with her. Matteo stood up and ran towards them. He reached for Moon's hand and started to speak in their unnatural ability. I watched them and saw that he was smiling just like her. Damn, I wanted to know what the fuck was going on!
Moon released his hand and turned to the small werewolf and rested her hands gently around the wolf's muzzle. She stroked her hands tenderly around the wolf's fur and leaned her head towards it. It was an intimate gesture and I quickly understood. I threw the BBQ tongs on the patio table and ran to them. I stood beside Moon and held her waist. The russet wolf, Jacob, growled and exposed its razor sharp teeth and the sandy color wolf, Seth, rolled his eyes at us. "When did your sister turned into a wolf?" I asked.
Moon raised her face to me and pouted. "She got in a fight with Diego." she said, shrugging. "Diego ate her brunch and she was very angry at him, the next thing she knows she is a massive ball of fur and…" she said, as she listened to her sister's thoughts. "I'm sorry, but they are still having a mental argument. Diego's thoughts are loud and I can barely hear Alexis'. Shut up Diego!" she hissed at her brother. The wolf with the red fur patch around the eye growled, but Seth quickly subdued him. "Shit, you are lucky that I am not a wolf! I would have bitten your legs off."
I laughed mentally and then turned to Seth and Jacob. They were all as confused as I was. I guess that only the Clearwater family had the gene to create female werewolves. That was my hypothesis.
"Don't cry Lexis." Moon said sadly, caressing her sister's fur. "It's all right. Oh, you are still sad that you haven't had lunch. Don't worry! I will make you something delicious, just for you, princess."
"So, um, I guess, that we can talk about my problems later." Matteo said, as he tried to take an about face, but Jacob stopped him, as he stood in front of him. "OK, I guess, we can wait."

Moon's POV
We sat in Embry's patio furniture and stared at Alexis and Seth Diego. They were staring daggers at each other and Embry sat in between them. Poor guy! I hope that he didn't get hurt! I stared at him and offer him a sheepish smile. I wanted to be next to him. I wanted this morning to have gotten farther, but it could wait, right? I had to be patience.
"So, you imprinted?" Daddy Jake asked curiously. "Did you ask for her name?"
S.J. shook his head and continued eating his food. "I didn't, grandfather."
"Well, did you, I don't know, follow her to her house or something?" Jacob asked interested.
S.J. shook his head and looked dejected. "No, I didn't do anything. I was carrying Crissy, while Allegra and Addison got the milk and the formula for the baby." he said hopelessly. I felt sorry for him. I could feel his pain and I didn't like the feel of it. I wanted everyone to be happy.
My Papito explained to S.J. what happened to those that became werewolves and what imprinting was. My brother didn't take it that well, but he understood that the girl that he met in the store was his soul mate. It was my mission as a sister and his twin, to find her.
"I'll never find her." S.J. said despondently.
"No grandson of mine gives up!" Jake said, shaking S.J. "We can find her, son."
"How?" he asked, looking around the table, trying to find strength in any of us. "I mean, Forks isn't a large town, but there are like four thousand people. Am I supposed to sniff around every house until I find her scent?"
OH, YES! Great Buddha! "S.J., I got it!" I said, leaping from my chair. I watched as Embry arched an eyebrow and stared at me, an impish smile on his lips. Damn, he was making me lose concentration.
"You've got what?" Papito asked me curiously.
"Well, I got it. I know how we can try to find her." I said excited. "We can go back to the store and stand exactly where you found her and we can sniff around for her scent and follow it. Oh, but S.J. said she got inside a car. So, that is outta of the question."
"Wait, baby girl, that is a good idea. I love the way you are thinking, but maybe we can us a different alternative, a different method." Embry said, as he smiled at me. "We could, well, we can all turn into wolves and have Matteo think of her. That way, we can all see his thoughts and when we see her, we will know who she is and we can follow her."
"I liked that one better." Alexis said, as she batted her lashes at Embry. I laughed and shook my head. "I bet that if we do what Embry suggested, we will be able to know who my new sister-in-law is." she said with too much myrrh and happiness in her voice.
S.J. looked quizzical and skeptical about the whole thing. I could see that he was hurting without his imprint. Shit, I wanted to know who she was. I wanted his happiness. Deep down my heart, I knew that we were going to find her.
"OK, let's go into the woods and phase." Papa Jacob suggested, as he got up his chair and clapped his hand. "Come on let's get a move on. I don't want my grandson to suffer without his imprint any longer!" he said in a commanding voice.
All of a sudden, even I was standing up. "I'll stay with Lexi and we can meet by the clearing, alright?" I said, taking Lexi's hand in mine. They all nodded and started running towards the woods, but Embry was the last to leave. We stared at each other and I ran to his arms.
"Don't think about what we were doing!" I commanded, kissing his lips passionately.
"I can hear that!" Alexis sighed and started to walk to where we stood. "Come on, Moon, we don't want Matteo to suffer any longer."
"That's true, baby. I will see you later." Embry said, kissing me briefly and then running towards the green thicket.
I felt cold without his cold arms around me. I turned around and sighed as I faced my little sister. She looked nervous and then started crying. "I know who Seth Jacob likes!" she wailed.
I walked up to her and hugged her. "Who, Chiquita?" I asked, but she was sobbing hard. I placed my hand under her chin and forced her to look at me. "Alexis Marie Clearwater-Black! Who is the girl that S.J. imprinted on?"
She sobbed, but nodded. "She is Samantha Uley. Alfred and Riza's daughter. I hate her!" she cried and hugged me tightly. I held on to my sister's warm body and tried to comfort her as much as I could.
