A/N Thank you for the great reviews, for a few times I've found myself looking at the monitor, smiling like an idiot :D I'm so incredibly glad that you like this :) And the reason for me updating so fast, is that once I have a chapter written, I can't wait to publish it. And since I had some free time, I used it to write, so here is the result.

As I already said, this chapter is also from Paul's POV, I must say that so far this has been my favourite chapter to write ;)


Chapter Six: Paul

Our Alpha was an idiot, I had no more doubts. He had smiled when I told him I imprinted on the leech lover. Smiled! And his fluffy Emily had congratulated me. With what? Being so miserable to imprint on a pale face plus a bloodsucker-wannabe? When they stood in front of me looking so damn happy, I just wanted to hit my head against the wall. Or better, hit his head against the wall. I could actually put that prick's head through the wall. I was standing there figthting the incredible urge to attack my Alpha, the guy who was actually just trying to help me; my rational mind understood that, but my temper wouldn't agree, it was ready to fight this imprint bullshit to death.

The only smart thing he had said was for me to stay away from phasing at the same time with Jacob. Fuck, I had to deal with that puppy as well. Harry's death was making everything even worse. I could swear, Seth would phase soon, loosing his father will definitely speed up the process. Another life ruined by the bloodsuckers my imprint loved so much.

After finding Sam's help completely useless, I took off. I had absolutely no interest in seeing the grieving family, and I'm sure they didn't want to see my miserable and annoyed ass there either. I was sure that Jacob was with the leech lover, so it was safe for me to phase. I noticed that I could call her names when she wasn't around. Leech lover! Idiot! Little brainless psychopath! I guess I got happy too soon, as I felt my inner wolf growl at the insults. That fucker was protecting the stupid girl. My soulmate.

I scowled. I definitely wouldn't let that one be my soulmate. She wasn't worth it. She was a catatonic mess; because of the leech she loved she was in pieces, and those pieces wouldn't even make one whole person. Jacob has been patiently picking up those pieces for months now, trying to put the picture back together. Why the hell didn't he imprint on her? I'd rather be watching his loving thoughts of her than have my own.

I tried keeping my mind off her. I ran, and involuntarily my feet took me to the beach, the one I imprinted on. She was lying right there in the sand, with me holding her. I remembered they way she looked at me. I could swear there was no love there. She loved the leech, not me. I was stuck with an imprint that wouldn't even love me. Remembering her as a miserable mess in the woods the night he left her, my inner wolf flinched, but I just sighed. That's what I was stuck with. A miserable pile of nothing.

No, I wouldn't let the imprint win me over. I would fight it, how hard could that be, considering that I didn't care about my imprint. I simply couldn't care about the person who was the reason of me being what I am. Becoming a werewolf had changed my life completely, and I blamed her.

I had a decision made, now I just had to see her to persuade my inner wolf to cooperate. He had to see that she wasn't worth our time. He had to understand.

As I arrived at her house, I felt an unfamiliar scent of bleach. There was a bloodsucker in the house, but it wasn't red. Jacob's scent was here, too, what the hell was he doing with a leech? I stayed in the shadows in the back yard, not knowing what to do. Then I heard him shout „Hey, who is it?"

I came out to see Jake holding my damn imprints damn hand. My inner wolf didn't like it, but I managed to shut him up. A growl did escape my throat as I saw the leech though.

„It's okay, it's one of the Cullens. She's leaving already though. I'm going back to the rez, I guess T have some things to discuss with Sam. You'll stay here?" The puppy was giving me commands, again. The idea wasn't that bad though, staying here I could convince my wolf to forget the girl. I nodded.

Look how miserable she is, look what kind of a mess are you trying to make me fall in love with! Look! I felt the wolf trying to understand, when she looked at me. That innocent look was enough to make the fucker take her side again. Luckily, she looked away quickly, so I hoped no major harm was done.

The leech left first. She moved past me slowly, I didn't let my gaze slip away from her until she was gone in the woods. Jacob left then. He looked me in the eye as if reminding me to keep the girl safe. The stink of the leech around was enough to keep my mind off the imprint when Jake phased. I was hoping his mind was too occupied with thoughts of my fucking imprint to notice anything if I slipped.

She looked at me like she wanted to say something, so I retired. I heard her close the door with a sigh.

I phased back to my human form and paced slowly across her back yard. Sam wouldn't approve me staying here so vulnerable, but right now I didn't give a rat's ass about his approval. I had some serious problems to deal with. So, to sum up. The girl definitely feels some sort of a pull towards me, I have to find a way to scare her off. Knowing that she was easily intimidated, that shouldn't be a problem. And being so hung up on her fucking leech, she wouldn't find time to think of me. Okay, let's consider that par of the problem solved.

My inner pal was a completely different situation. Until today I had thought of us as of one whole person, him being just a voice of my instincts. Today he turned out to be quite an opponent. But remembering the little success we already had, I hoped that it would work, I just have to focus.

As I was struggling with my thoughts, I heard a soft voice whisper my name. Shit, the pull must be stronger than I thought. I hesitated, I wasn't ready to meet her yet, on the other hand this would be a nice chance to end this sooner. Fuck, I wouldn't get more ready than I already was. I went to meet her, as I heard her sigh again and attempt to close the door. Right before it would click shut, I pushed it open.

With a squeal she jumped back and hit the table. So, I scared the crap out of her, that ought to be a good start.

„What, you call me and now you're scared of me coming?" I tried to make my voice as steady as I could, and by the look on her face I saw that I had succeeded. She blushed as she noticed me being half naked. We were so used to be walking around like this, but she still blushed every time she saw us. My inner wolf found it adorable, as I told the fucker to shut up. He was getting too annoying.

„I.. Uhmm.. I just wanted to.." She looked at me, and I felt my confidence melt away. Close you're eyes, shut the door, run for your life! My mind was panicking while my inner asshole was celebrating his victory. I couldn't look away, her gaze being too intoxicating. We stayed there staring at each other for fuck-knows-how long, and she didn't break the gaze. When I saw the dreamy expression in her eyes fade away a little, I used the moment to fight the wolf back.

„What did you want?" I did my best to sound annoyed, and by the look on her face I knew she bought it, once again.

„I just wanted to thank you for being there today." I nodded while the bastard wanted to hug her. „I mean, I know, you didn't have to do that, I actually never thought you'd be the one to save my life, I guess I never thought you'd care." How could I not care? I mean, I wanted to, but how could I? That little stupid girl doubted the strength of the imprint! This time it was my inner wolf getting mad and I didn't stop him. I let him send shivers down my spine, clench my hands into fists, move towards her.

„So you think I'm not human enough to care. Even if you are just a filthy leech lover, did you actually think I would let you die?" My wolf growled and I just applauded him. She was getting scared, that fucker was scaring her off without realizing it. „You think I wanted to see the red head get you?"

At this point I couldn't tell the difference between me and the wolf anymore, as if were working together, me just being mad at the stupid girl, and the wolf being angry for her doubting his dedication. "You think of me less than you think of that leech of yours, who did leave you to die." I saw her flinch at the mention of her dear bloodsucker. The wolf saw it as well. She closed her eyes and he stopped. And I couldn't gang up one her alone.

Then it hit me. I couldn't let him harm her. I couldn't make her cry; I couldn't let the wolf scare her like that. He was the one leading my life, but I was the one to control him. And I had to control him. The realization made my body start shaking even harder, I quickly made my way out and phased. Standing in her back yard I realized that I was doomed to love that girl no matter what. I could tell myself I hated her, I could curse her, I could yell at her, but the love towards her would be there to stop me every time I tried hurting her. As long as I kept fighting it, I would have some control left, but the moment I gave up, it would take over me and I would have no way back.

Feeling the power of imprint spread throught my entrie body, into every single particle of my existence, I howled. And my wolf howled with me.


I would be glad to know what you think :)
