Bella's POV
I went up the sand and walked next to Seth, matching my pace with his. He noticed the smell and wrinkled his nose about the same time he saw the extra pair of feet next to his. He must have been really zoned out not to notice either ntil now. He looked up at me in amazement.
"B..Be...Bella?"
"Yeah, it's me." I watched as his jaw dropped. He was one of the only wolves I hadn't seen since Jacob left. I laughed.
"Wow. You look awesome! But... you stink." He laughed and hugged me as hard as he could, knowing it wouldn't really hurt me.
I laughed again. "Gee thanks. So what have you been up to?" We started walking along the beach again.
"Oh, nothing much. Kinda' just mopin' around before you came."
"No girlfriend?" I was surprised he hadn't imprinted yet. It had been a long time. He suddenly looked depressed again.
"No."
"Oh. I'm sorry."
"It's okay." He shifted his eyes to the ground.
"Hey. I know what'll cheer you up!" He looked up at me.
"And what would that be?" He rolled his eyes.
"I want you to meet my kids!" I grabbed his arm and pulled him to my family, him staring at the ground the whole way. He would perk up around my kids. I just knew it. When we reached them, Conner was standing a few yards away, talking to some girls he had met, and the girls were laying face down in bikinis on their towels. I cleared my throat. They jumped up and looked at me. They looked Seth over. Renee couldn't care less, so she waved and went back to tanning. But Rosalice couldn't keep her eyes off of him. I looked at Seth. He couldn't keep his eyes off of her, either. Oh no. This couldn't be happening. No. Not my daughter. But as I looked at his eyes. I knew it was true. All cables had been released from him and connected the two together. Oh, great. Seth had imprinted. Finally. But the problem was, it was on my daughter.
