I was lost in my thought's as I thought about what to do with this soul bond. I could fight it, but in all honesty I want Swan.

And if you think this is anything remotely close to imprinting you are clearly wrong my friend.

A soul bond is the total opposite of an imprint. An imprint is seeing someone for the first time and then being anything they want, do anything they want. Like a fucking servant.

Jared will never admit it but he doesn't want Kim. You can tell by looking at him. She asks so much of him and I can't stand it. The imprint is clouding his vision.

If you fight an imprint, yeah it hurts but if you fight a soul bond it can kill you and your mate. I'm not going to risk a little hatred over something I can't control.

I'll admit that I did hate Swan but my wolf side was so close to the surface, so animalistic, and when we looked down at her I could see deep into her soul.

Seeing her very emptiness inside and my wolf just..wanted her. To make her..better. And after everything I learned tonight she needed it.

A Soul Bond is a bond only between a few. It's so strong it's crippling. The wolf knows an immediate connection to his mate and feels exactly what she feels, and knows exactly what she needs.

Your soul immediately attaches to theirs and it's like a cord is pulling you towards them, but the thing is, you have a choice.

A choice to want it, a choice to choose if it's what you want. Well for the mate that is. They have a choice.

You're not forced to grovel at the knees and do what someone tells you. It's completely my choice as well, but there's only one problem. The council.

They don't believe in the Soul Bond. If not, then why the hell have it written in the archives? They don't believe in it because the person that had the soul bond was mated with an outsider and that's exactly what's happening now.

And you know what the funny thing is? I'm a descendant to the man. History just seemed to repeat himself.

I already knew that once the elders get word they'll want to see me and maybe Swan. Thinking of Swan, might as well go check on my little mate.

I broke through the trees and up to Sam and Emily's. The smell of food in the air. God I loved her cooking. I listened as I heard Sam trying to get my mate to eat.

Well that's about to change. I strode through the door like I owned the place. I walked up behind Emily to get a glimpse of her cooking. "Smell's good Em."

And like I knew she would, she jumped in the air spinning to glare at me as she spun with the wooden spoon in hand. "Paul Lahote! You scared me half to death!"

She said holding her hand to her heart. I licked the spoon getting a taste of what she was cooking. Sweet mama, sooooooo good.

"Hey!" She scolded hitting me with it and I feigned hurt. I bent down and kissed her cheek telling her, her food was good, and that I was sorry for scaring her.

She just mumbled a few words at me but smiled anyway. Emily was like a mom and sister rolled into one. She was sweet and kind and perfect for Sam. Imprint or not.

I know Sam still regrets everything that went down between him, Leah and Emily but I know Leah will find someone.

There's a soft side under her bitchiness. I've only met her a few times and let me tell you, she is a bitch but can you blame her?

I walked down the hallway listening to Sam's voice trying to coax Bella. "Bella, you need to eat.." He ground out frustrated.

Sam sighed exasperated. I walked in seeing Sam holding a plate in front of Bella. "Need help Sam?" I asked and my voice startled my mate as she jumped in the air.

I chuckled, as her eyes stayed completely on me. I sniffed in her scent, and sighed. She smelled like heaven.

"Not eating Swan? C'mon it's not going to kill you. If anything Emily's cooking is like fucking amazing." I murmured towards her. Her eyes guardedly watched mine. I knew she was trying to figure out if she could trust me.

Slowly, she took the plate from Sam and started eating. That's my girl. I wonder if after she eats would be a good time to lay all this out to her.

Sam slowly stood glancing at us quickly before leaving.

There's many things that I am. I'm sexy, of course. I'm angry and can be an asshole but I'm not a person that lets a chance pass by and this is a one in a life time chance.

I'm going to lay it all out for her. Tell her what I know and what she needs to know. And letting her know she's my mate is something I have to do.

I watched her every move and even Sam popped in from time to time, his wolf worried for our newest pack member. I could quickly tell he'd get attached to her.

He's attached to all of us in some way. Jared looks up to him like a brother and to me he's a friend I can trust, who I can count on and if I had to trust someone with Bella's life, it would be Sam.

I watched as Bella finished and she looked at me. She was so quiet. She cocked her head to the side. I mimicked her and laughed as she glared at me.

"There's some reason I'm here." She stated. I nodded and waited for her to continue as I knew she had more so say.

"Laurent brought me to you didn't he?" I quickly recalled the leech and nodded. I don't know why I was quiet but I needed to hear what she had to say.

"You're wolves aren't you?" She asked quietly. I nodded, and asked, "How did-?" A howl in the distance cut me off and I stood quickly.

"Duty calls Swan." I kissed her lips and heard Bella's gasp. I smirked and ran out of the house with Sam and Jared next to me.

Who's the lucky fucker this time?
