Chapter 14

I don't know how long I sat there staring at the door after Sam, I was numb.

So much had happened in the last 5 minutes that it was just too much for my brain to handle, I was almost certain it had short circuited and smoke could be seen coming from my ears. Nothing was going in and nothing was coming out, my face blank barely blinking.

After who knows how long I suddenly gasped in a breathe of air because apparently I wasn't breathing either, it seemed to kick start my brain again and I shook my head a little. As my thoughts began to whirl my eyes slowly dropped to the floor as did my stomach, a dark heaviness resting on my shoulders. It made my chest heavy, my breathes becoming short and sharp as my eyelids fluttered with the threat of tears.

This was all too much, I couldn't handle it.

My body began to shake with sobs and tears fell in big droplets.

I couldn't do this anymore. It all hurts too much. I can't fix this. I cant sort this out. I cant, I cant.

I slid off the bed and sunk to the floor, tears flowing from me now, cries of inner pain leaving my mouth. I didn't have the energy or will to cover them right now.

What if Seth never… What if Sam's… imprinting… my family…

All these thoughts whirled around my mind like a destructive tornado slowly making me feel worse and worse.

Unexpectedly I noted somehow from the depths of my mind the front door banging closed and for a moment I stopped and had a moment of clarity. Maybe Seth had come back! I needed to apologise!

Stumbling slightly and wiping my nose on my sleeve I got up and ran to the door flinging it open. As I unsteadily stopped in the corridor I was unfortunately not met by Seth but instead a pretty girl who had three large scars along one side of her face. I sagged in unmeasurable disappointment and let out a sob just as Sam entered the corridor, the both of them giving me surprised then concerned looks as they took in my broken appearance. I didn't care though, all I could do was steal a glance at Sam and see so obviously now the familiarities I knew I recognised before. My jaw fell open a little bit, it was just like looking into that old photograph.

"Oh my god…" I wailed shutting my eyes and covering my face with my hands. I was aware at how mental I must seem but at this point I didn't care. Seth had broken my heart and Sam had broken my brain, not that he knew it yet. I was a complete mess.

"Oh the poor thing…" I heard the girl say sympathetically and take a step toward me.

"No Emily, I don't want you getting near her incase she phases." Sam warned.

"Don't be silly…" I heard Emily move quickly towards me.

"Emily please!" Sam warned again, from the sound of it blocking her from getting to me.

"Sam please!" Emily said in the same tone. "Look at how upset she is," She whispered " Now I know you're good at a lot of things but right now I think she just needs a girl to talk things out to, a girl who's kinda gone through the same thing and can relate to her?"

There was a short pause while I just cried into my hands, slowly sinking to the floor.

"She's not shaking or showing any signs of phasing, she's too distraught." She added sadly.

"Okay." Sam finally sighed. "But call for me the moment you have even an inkling that she might phase. Ill be by the door."

A short kiss could be heard before Emily's footsteps headed towards me. I wondered for a moment if they were imprints, then that immediate thought made me think of Seth and my heart squeezed. No sooner I was encircled by the arms of small Emily, she soothingly rubbed my back as I let her guide me back into the room. She closed the door behind us before easing me onto the bed where I crumpled face down too weak to sit up, and cried into the pillow.

"You poor girl." She said as she sat beside me and stroked my hair. "You've been through an awful lot these past few days."

I just continued to cry as my throat began to ache from sobbing.

"My names Emily, I'm Sam's fiance and imprint." She started to rub soothing circles in my back. Well that answers that question I thought before she continued,"I'm here if you need someone to talk too okay, I know the pack must be daunting but you're one of us now, you're family and we take care of one another. So know from this point on you can come to me about anything okay Allira?" She finished kindly.

I turned my face to the side so I could look at her. Even with her scars she had a kind face as she looked at me comfortingly, within a second I trusted her so I nodded at her in reply as sobs still racked my body.

"Okay good." She said with a small smile "How about I tell you my troubled imprint story and then you can tell me yours?"

I nodded again, I was curious to know if everyone had found it this difficult.

So Emily launched into her imprinting story, I learnt that she was not a werewolf but Leah and Seth's cousin and how at the time Sam was dating and in love with Leah when he had first seen Emily and imprinted on her. Oh Sam you poor guy, I thought.

As she told her story I noticed my crying had stopped and my breathing was back under control, I was also now on my side with my head propped up on my arm listening attentively.

Emily went on to say that Sam left Leah in pursuit of Emily, multiple times she turned him down till the one day he explained imprinting and werewolves to her. She didn't take it well, understandably, and Sam unable to control his hurt emotions had phased and lashed out, leaving Emily with the scars on her face.

"No." I breathed in shock, feeling sick in my stomach. It was the first thing I had said anything to her.

She seemed startled by my sudden voice but recovered, nodding sadly. "Ive never seen anyone hate themselves as much as Sam did after that, even though I didn't blame him, I knew it was an accident, but anyway, he still came and saw me everyday just as he had before, always apologising over silly things, helping me with whatever I needed, still telling me i'm beautiful…" She drifted off on her own with a small smile. "And he still does…" She paused for a moment. "I couldn't help but fall in love with him." She finished with a content smile looking at me.

"Woah." Was all I could reply with. Seth and I should feel real stupid now.

"Yeah, it wasn't easy but, in the end we just let it happen and I've been the happiest ever since." She said her smile growing slightly.

I nodded thoughtfully, taking in her words.

"How about you Allira? Did you want to talk about you and Seth?" Emily asked kindly, moving her legs into a more comfortable sitting position.

I swallowed hard and looked down at the bed sheets, moving into a upright sitting position as I did so. "I dunno, I mean, I just feel stupid now after hearing what you and Sam went through." I admitted honestly.

"Don't be silly, something that means nothing to one person could mean the world to another, go." Emily nodded encouragingly.

I looked anywhere except her face. "Um, well, I'm sure you know most of my imprint story, the whole pack seems to know more about me and Seth then I do, ha, but I dunno, everything was going fine we were getting to know each other really well, I mean I didn't know that we were being drawn to each other but, whatever, so I get to Billy's this morning and it just goes down hill from there, I attack this Paul guy for - I now realise - attacking my mate, then Seth kisses me and Sam walks in which was mortifying," I said as I stood up and began to pace the room. I was on a tangent now I didn't care who I was talking to, all my thoughts were finally spilling out of me like lava. "… then I'm told ive imprinted and been imprinted on and that Seth is my soulmate, like you know, just casually, here's the person you're going spend the rest of your life with, like what the fuck?! and then he's all like 'were stuck with each other' and that hurt like oh im not good enough for you? im sorry you're forced to be my soulmate, you were literally just kissing me, you think im crazy about the idea? So then I said some things I shouldn't have and so then he says 'I wish I never imprinted.''

"Oh he didn't did he? Silly boy." Emily commented shaking her head. I was amazed she was keeping up with my word vomit.

"Yeah, like how could he say that? I didn't even know what the word meant a second ago but I would never say that to him! So then I told him to 'Get out and I never wanted to see him again' so he left and since then ive just never felt worse in my life, oh no wait, then I actually get to meet Sam properly, this time as a crying mess only to find out that his last name is Uley, which is also apparently the last name of my absent father, Joshua Uley who was from a indian reservation in Washington, but I have a photograph and they look so familiar, so im now dealing with that possibility as well as…."

The door opened behind me and Sam entered looking at me with a confused frown.

"Wait what did you just say?" Emily blurted a shocked look on her face.

What had I just said? I tried to rewind my thought tape. Sam. Oh shit Sam. I covered my mouth in realisation even though it was a little late now, the words were out. I looked between Sam and Emily not knowing what to do or say, I could feel the pricks of fresh tears start behind my eyes.

"Did you just say Joshua Uley was your father?" Sam said deadly serious, his eyes boring into mine.

My hands immediately dropped to my sides as I looked back at him unable to break eye contact. "Yes." I whispered with a shaky breathe.

I wasn't prepared for this. I wasn't ready to handle this situation. My body couldn't take anymore today.

"Oh my god." Emily gasped before covering her mouth.

I watched as Sam's jaw tightened before his stiff frame faltered and he sagged a little, his eyes breaking contact with me as he looked lost for a moment. Emily rushed over to his side, looking at him with concern. As she rubbed his back soothingly much like she had mine, Sam finally looked back to me.

I stood frozen to my spot, holding my breathe waiting for the words I knew he was going to say.

"Joshua Uley," Sam started, saying the name with disgust. "Is also my father."

I stayed frozen as his words sunk in.

Then I fainted.
