Chapter 5
Embry's point of view
I was sad that I couldn't stay for dinner with Kai but I know her father isn't a fan of mine right now. He got really mad when he found out I imprinted on his oldest daughter. He wants me stay away from her but he knows I can't.
"Embry is that you?" mom asks as I enter the house.
"Ya," I say and she comes over to me.
"Where were you?" she asks. I still haven't told her about me being a wolf, I just don't want her to get hurt and I don't think she'll believe me.
"I was working and then I went to a friend's house," I say.
"Let me guess Jake's, Quil's, Sam's which one?" she asks.
"No I was at chief Clearwater's," I say and her eyes widen.
"Why" she asks. "I'm friends with his eldest daughter, Kai," I say smiling at the mention of her name.
"You better not mess with her, unless you want to be arrested," she says.
"I know mom, and I wouldn't do that," I say.
"Are you sure because you've changed, I hardly know you anymore," she says and I sigh.
"Mom I'm a good guy, you raised me better than that," I say.
"I know I did but you've been throwing away my teaching with this rebellious stage!" she yells.
"Mom you have no idea what I'm doing!" I yell.
"Then why don't you tell me!" she yells.
"Because you could get hurt!" I yell.
"So you are in a gang," she says and I groan.
"No I'm not!" I yell.
"Then what Embry, what are you doing?" she asks.
"It's none of your business!" I yell.
"It's all my business, I'm your mother!" she yells.
"Just leave me alone!" I yell and go into my room slamming my door. I hear her groan in frustration and go into her room. I hate doing this but it needs to be done to keep her safe. She and Kai are why I do this, I need to protect them, especially Kai. Kai, a beautiful, smart, strong, sweet, and a lot more! She's so beautiful with her ocean blue eyes, wavy dark brown hair, and smooth light tan skin. Her teeth are pearly and straight while her eyes are framed with long black eyelashes. Her cheeks are rosy and round with freckles floating across them and her button nose. She's so strong taking Harry's death so well. Leah went crazy and couldn't phase back for hours, she was worse than Paul! I'm glad she went to go see Kai though, Kai really missed Leah. Seth is really taking this hard, he does look like a ghost. I hope my imprint and her family recover from Harry's death.
Kai's point of view
After dinner aunt Sue went back home but Seth and Leah are staying the night, which I'm happy about. I really need to talk with Leah.
"How've you been?" I ask Leah when we get into my room.
"Fine," she says and I give her a look.
"Leah you don't have to lie to me, I'm your cousin, I know you," I say.
"I know, I just, I hurt," she says and her eyes glisten with tears.
"I know Lee," I say and hug her. The tears spill over and she hugs me tight.
"We fought before he died," she whispers.
"What about?" I ask. "
That he's on Sam's side with us breaking up," she says and I nod. Uncle Harry was on Sam's side for breaking up with Leah.
"He probably hates me and is happy that he's gone," she says and I stare at her shocked.
"Leah that's not true, he loves you and could never hate you," I say.
"But I told him I hated him when we fought," she says.
"Everyone says that but they don't really mean it," I say.
"But he looked so heart-broken when I said it," she says.
"It hurts when someone says that but we know deep down that it's not true," I say.
"When Emma and I fight we say we hate each other but the next day we're still sisters and love each other," I say.
"But there is no next day, he's gone forever," she says.
"He'll always be in your heart, I know he's in mine," I say and she smiles.
"Thanks Kai, you're always there for me," she says hugging me.
"And you're always there for me," I say.
After the talk we watch movies with Emma and Seth for a while. Then we head to bed and I had a nightmare.
I'm in the middle of the forest with snow on the ground. I enter a meadow and see a figure in the shadows.
"Hello, who's there?" I ask. I hear a growl and then a giant wolf comes out. It has gray with black spots fur. The eyes are a warm muddy brown color, they look like Embry's eyes. I stare at the wolf and it comes closer. I stand there my eyes locked on his.
"Kai," I hear it whisper.
"Embry?" I ask.
"Kai," he says again and fades away.
"No, wait!" I yell and he disappears.
I'm transported to a field where I'm alone. I look around and see no one. I sigh and then hear laughing. I look around and fall tripping on my feet. I hear more laughter and look up to see blood-red eyes. I gasp and look around seeing more and more blood-red eyes. I'm surrounded and scared to death. I hear a howl and the people hiss. I see a pack of wolves come and the scary looking people glare at them. I see the wolf from before and stand up to go run to him but am stopped by freezing cold arms.
"Let me go!" I yell and he laughs.
"Calm down sweetheart," he says and I hear growls. I look to the wolves and find the gray wolf.
"Embry," I whisper and he whines.
"One move and she gets it," the boy who's holding me says. The wolves growl but stay put. I look to the gray wolf and into his eyes. I feel a tear fall and he whines taking a step forward.
"Bad move!" the boy holding me says and then I feel intense pain.
"AW!" I yell and everything goes black.
