Chapter 2.

Embry's P.O.V

"Open the door, Embry." my mom sighed outside of my room. I ignored her and just stayed where I was. In bed. In the dark, with the curtains covering my window so that the small amount of light that was outside didn't find it's way inside. I just wanted to be alone.

"You have to come out, you've been hiding in there for weeks and you still refuse to tell me what is wrong" she pleaded. I still didn't answer her. What could I say? I wasn't allowed to tell her about the werewolf thing, therefore I couldn't tell her about the imprinting. Of course the whole pack knew the second after it happened, since I had run out of the airport with an aching soul and phased as soon as I was in the woods.

Every time I pictured her face in front of me my whole body ached. I was in pain, and a lot of it. None of the other pack members had experienced being away from their imprints for more than a day, I couldn't imagine it would be this hard. That was before I had seen my own imprint leave without looking at me. Of course she wouldn't look at me, she didn't ever know who I was. But I knew that the imprint bond affected her as well, she probably wasn't in pain though since she didn't know what was happening, but she probably felt something. She had to.

"Embry! Get up right now!" I heard Sam's voice yell this time. He had been coming here a few times when it had been my time to patrol and I hadn't showed up. And of course I couldn't refuse the alphas command. I got out of bed slowly and walked to my door to open it. Sam looked at me with a mix of anger and sadness in his eyes.

"Patrol?" I asked in a bored voice and he shook his head.

"No, but we want you to join us for dinner at our place, the whole pack is going to be there, including you" he said, like it wasn't even up for discussion.

"Yeah, thanks but no thanks" I said, trying to close the door. He stopped me though, holding the door and pulling it out of my grip.

"Embry, we all know that this is hard for you, but you have to get out of the house. It's for your own good" he said, this time a little more calm. My own good? No. Doing something for my own good would be seeing my imprint, which I would probably never get the chance to... Pain shot through my spine at the thought and I took in a sharp breath.

"I don't even know her name..." I mumbled and walked past Sam and in to the kitchen. He followed me.

"She'll come back, I know it" he said and leaned against the door frame. I turned around and looked at him.

"Well I guess there's no use in staying here all day" I muttered.

"Great, see you at six" he gave me a pat on the shoulder and left. I sighed and walked back to my room to put on a t-shirt. I wasn't really up to seeing the pack with their imprints, but me and my imprint were meant to be, she had to come back. And I would wait for her right here.

A few hours later I made my way over to Sam and Emily to eat dinner with everyone. They were happy to see me, since they'd only seen me in wolf form for the last couple of weeks during patrols.

"Great to see you, man" Jacob said and smiled. It felt like they were all walking on egg shells around me, afraid to say something about what had happened. Afraid that I would snap or something. They knew every little detail about my feelings because of the linked minds.

During dinner I couldn't really get that normal feeling I usually had, like I was surrounded by family and that everything was great. I felt empty. And I had been ever since my imprint had left me. Would that feeling go away when I saw her again? If I saw her again, I mean. I tried to imagine her sitting at the large table, next to me, smiling and laughing. Talking with Kim and Emily about girly stuff, being a part of the family. Being mine.

"So guys, up for some football later?" Jared asked and everyone agreed. I really just felt like going home. The pain in my chest made it hard for me to act normal and I didn't want to bring them down with me.

"I think I'm gonna go home, but thanks for the food Emily, it was great as always" I said and tried to give her a convincing smile. She smiled warmly back at me, but before I could answer Paul cut in.

"You're so depressing man, stop with the bitching and just snap out of it" he said as the rest of the guys started to walk to the door to go outside and play. I glared at him. He didn't know how it was like, he had no right to talk about this.

"Shut up, Paul" I said and had to bit back a growl. I wanted to smack him in the head. How could he be so stupid?

"You don't even know her, or her name" he continued. Ok, he really wanted to get hit. "I mean, for all you know she could be a bitch" that's it. I was going to rip his stupid head off.

"Embry, calm down" I heard Sam say next to me. I hadn't realized I was shaking until now. I was furious, and all of my feelings became overwhelming. I was going to phase, and if Paul was still close if I did, I would kill him. No one got to talk about my imprint like that.

"You're dead" I said and as soon as the words left my mouth I felt Sam push me out the door and that's when I snapped and phased.

When I landed on four legs I growled at Paul who for once actually had fear in his eyes. I lunged at him but he dodged me and the next second he was phased as well, pieces of ripped clothes falling to the ground. I growled and lunged at him again, this time knocking him in to a tree that snapped in half and fell to the ground with a loud crash.

He got up and growled at me, but I was still so angry that I still wanted to kill me.

"Come on then, kill me. I'd like to see you try" he said to my thoughts and knew that if he would be in human form he would have a smirk on his face.

"That's enough!" Sam's voice broke through our little bubble and we both flinched. He was really angry, I could tell. "Embry, calm down. And Paul, get the hell out of here you idiot" Paul did as Sam said, hesitating for a second though, before running deeper in to the woods. I glared at Sam and ran in the other direction, ignoring his voice calling for me to get back.

I kept running, and all I wanted to do was follow the pull. Because I could feel it all the time. A pull towards an unknown direction, all I knew was that it was towards her. But I couldn't go so far, I didn't even know if she was still in the country. Not knowing where she was, that was awful, but not knowing if she was ok was worse.

I couldn't run far away though, I had to stay here. I had to wait for her if she ever came back for me.

I had to wait for my imprint...
