Okay I'm giving everyone another chapter early because I had my private messaging turned off, so if anyone sent me anything, I beg you to resend it please.
-Emmett's POV
To take his mind off of Blaine, Emmett decided to go hunting. Normally for him, hunting was second nature. No, it was lower than that, he could hunt while experiencing the torture of Volturi member Jane. The way he hoped to circumvent this though was by hunting on the La Push reservation. Evading wolves and hunting. Maybe that could still his thoughts. Even though the trespassing ban had been lifted, hunting on the rez had not. However, the Gods love to give a man a break. (Or in this case a vampire.)
When he reached the border he heard a soft soft crying sound. Usually he wouldn't have cared, but something told him to investigate. Following the sound he discovered none other than Blaine, sitting on a fallen tree and crying to himself. When he got closer he stepped on a tree branch and Blaine stood up fast. "I told you not to follow me Jacob!" Emmett couldn't help but smirk, trouble in imprint paradise? Blaine was even more beautiful up close. Crying and anger did nothing to diminish this, on the contrary Emmett thought Blaine would make a great vampire. Another thing he noticed rather quickly was Blaine's scent. He had to get over the smell of wet dog, but when he did he nearly gasped. Blaine had the distinct smell of honeysuckle and sweet grass. It reminded him of mornings in his childhood hometown. Emmett knew right at that moment that he would never hurt Blaine, his blood wouldn't even be tempting. From the looks of his face and body though, someone had and that made his blood boil.
He stepped from behind a tree with his hands up. "Easy dude, I didn't mean to scare you. I heard someone crying so I thought I'd check it out. You okay?" Blaine nodded, "I wasn't crying, I got some dirt in my eye." Emmett raised an eyebrow, looking around, "Right, because wet dirt is so easy to penetrate the ocular cavity." Blaine sent a death look to Emmett. "Fine, smart ass whatever." He turned to go and Emmett winced. Nice job Em, why don't you try harder to scare away the guy you love?
"Wait." Emmett shouted running at normal speed to catch up to Blaine. "I'm sorry, I know I can be a dick sometimes but...what?" Blaine was staring at him with an odd look in his eyes. Was it love? No, maybe attraction? Hopefully, but with his luck it was probably disdain. "You-you're a vampire aren't you?" Blaine asked, snapping Emmett out of his thoughts. He chuckled, "What makes you say that?" Blaine shrugged, "I come from a family of Wiccans, I've been irrevocably bonded to a werewolf, and you're ghastly pale. Sam told me there was a coven nearby, as in right next door. I just made assumptions. Plus one came by the other day." Emmett had to give the kid credit, he was smart. "If I tell you yes, are you gonna stake me?" Emmett asked grinning. Blaine grinned back. "Why would I stake you? We both know it wouldn't do anything." "Metaphor. I'm a vampire, you know. Dangerous, scary, bloodthirsty." He made a mock growl and made claw motions with his hands. Blaine burst out laughing. "Dangerous? Your coven is vegetarian, or at least you are. I can see it in your eyes, you'd never hurt me." He was right. Emmett would never lay a hand on Blaine's body, unless Blaine wanted it of course. And goddamn did he want Blaine to want it.
"Looks like someone else doesn't share my restraint." Emmett said, gesturing to the bruises. Blaine tried to pull his short sleeves over them and failed. "These? I'm a member of-" He paused and sighed. "I can't even think of a good lie." Blaine looked entirely defeated. Emmett's smile melted and he decided to help the poor kid out. "It's okay Blaine, it's Jacob isn't it? Wolves are super unpredictable when they imprint, jealous and violent." Blaine started to nod and then stopped. "How did you know my name? And the fact that I was dating Jacob? Are you stalking me?" Emmett shook his head. "No kid, I swear. The Tribe and our Coven have had a bunch of run ins. Though it pains me to admit it, Jacob has saved my ass more than once. You've met my brother Edward already, he told me about the new guy on Jacob's arm. Though I have to admit, he never told me how cute you were." Blaine blushed and Emmett sighed at that. It was like seeing a sunrise. "So, did they give you a name with all those rippling pectorals? Or should I just call you vampy?" Emmett grinned, "The name's Emmett, but my friends call me Em." "Well, Em, I'm really glad that I met you." Blaine had placed particular emphasis on saying Em and it made his century.
Forget what Carlisle had said, his heart didn't melt and let Blaine move in. It had dislodged itself out of Emmett's chest and surrendered itself to Blaine. Fuck. He was in deep shit now, he had fallen for Blaine. He had fallen for a werewolf's imprint, and somewhere down the line that was going to cause problems. He didn't care though, it was worth it to feel the elation he did now. The best part? He wasn't alone in his feelings. He could hear Blaine's heart and that increase was not from fear.
"Well, listen. Jacob is gonna be looking for me soon, I think I'm going to head out." That was mood killer. Emmett didn't want him to go, he wanted Blaine to come home with him. They could watch the sunset, Blaine could go to sleep with Emmett holding him, and then watch the sunrise. (And by sunrise he meant Blaine's face when he woke up. Yea, he was that in love. Emmett Cullen...Sappy.)
He decided to try once and only once to get Blaine to stay with him, if only for five more minutes.
"Wolfy Boy can wait. You're really nice company, you call me on my dick moves. Let's go and take a walk around the forest. You're new here right? You can't have seen the whole thing." Blaine hesitated for a moment, and Emmett could tell that he really wanted to go with him. Eventually though, he let out a sigh and said, "I would like that...a lot, but I really should get back to Jacob." Emmett may have not been a wolf, but at that moment he wanted to howl. It was a convenient sound, that would allow him to express all that he was feeling.
Watching Blaine walk away and not following him was something that took all of Emmett's control. When the young man was out of sight he headed back home slowly, no longer feeling like hunting. Besides, if he ran into Jacob he'd have to give the wolf a few bruises of his own. He did make a promise to himself though. To stay in the shadows, looking after Blaine. The moment Blaine left Jacob, he would go and protect him. Emmett wanted nothing more than to be Blaine's whole world.
-Blaine's POV
Blaine walked back to La Push, taking his time. He wanted Jacob to stew in his juices, and more than that he wanted his experience with Emmett to last. Now that was how he should've met his life mate. The feelings he had for Emmett were sadly stronger than the ones he held for Jacob at the moment. This was how he should've felt about Jacob. He felt dirty, cheap, and guilty. Almost like he had cheated Jacob somehow. Yet, at the same time he felt excited, Emmett was...well Emmett was a lot of things and all of them were good. He just needed to get back and lay down with Jacob, calm him down, and try to feel closer to him. He could only imagine what Jacob would do if he was abandoned for a vampire.
When he got within a few meters of Jacob's house and still hadn't bumped into his boyfriend he was feeling more and more like forgiving him. He had requested that Jacob not follow him, and the wolf had listened. He would definitely have to have a conversation with the man to talk about the boundaries that he needed to have. He could handle the abuse, it was his own fault for being overtly dominate with an alpha wolf. If you were out in the wild and took food from the leader of a pack, you'd get your throat ripped out. This was no different.
To his surprise when he arrived, Sam was standing on the porch. Arms crossed over his chest and a cigarette hanging out of his mouth, he looked intimidating. Thankfully though, his anger seemed to be directed at Jacob, not Blaine. "The asshole is asleep...finally." Blaine sat down and thankfully took the cigarette that was offered to him. "Good to know he can sleep without me. Do you know what it's like to have a hundred and ten degree wolf smothering you?" Sam chuckled, then took a serious face. "How are you holding up kid?" Blaine shrugged, "Okay I guess, it's a lot to handle Sammy. You didn't even know me three weeks ago, and here is this guy who acts like he owns me, and yells at me, and-" "Treats you like shit?" Sam threw in. Blaine nodded but shrugged. "Yea, but I mean, he's an alpha. I challenge him, he gets mad and retaliates." Sam snorted. "That's not an excuse you know. I was Alpha once too and I only hurt Emily once, and that was an accident. Jacob is way too possessive, I mean he said we couldn't hang out. Like I would sleep with you." Blaine couldn't help but laugh. Sam was not a homophobe, but he was straight and in love with Emily. "I know, but he has a thing about men and the possibility of me cheating on him." "Blaine," Sam said smiling. "The world is like fifty percent men, you can't avoid them forever." Blaine took a drag and said something that he hoped very much would be true. "After he claims me, I'm sure he will calm down." Sam's face showed that he had the same hopes. "You shouldn't do that until you're ready. Until then, when he gets all...Jacoby, just show him your neck." Blaine shook his head. "I'm not ready to be marked-" Sam smiled, "Nah, that's the beauty of it. Just show him your neck, it's a mark of submission. It'll calm him down."
Blaine thanked Sam for the advice and the cigarette and headed back inside. Billy was out, as he usually was anymore. Jacob was too hotheaded, and to Blaine that seemed to be indicative of a problem. If your own father couldn't be under the same roof as you, you had problems. Jacob was curled up in the fetal position on their bed, and Blaine had to admit, he was pretty damn adorable. Most nights Jacob growled in his sleep, but today he was whimpering. Blaine couldn't help but smile. If he was to be trapped in a predestined relationship with a werewolf who had impulse control issues, you really couldn't ask for a cuter one. He slid in, next to Jacob who instantly stopped whimpering and stretched out to spoon with Blaine. Blaine wasn't really tired, but he fell asleep with the warmth of Jacob at his back.
Blaine woke up to the feeling that someone was watching him. Sure enough, Jacob was in the corner, standing as far as possible from the bed. In front of him, Blaine found a tray of bacon and eggs. "I'm not a good cook, but bacon and eggs is easy enough." Blaine started eating, he was hungry, but he wasn't going to let the day before drop. "Thank you Jacob, this is really sweet. This doesn't fix what happened though. I will never be yours if you act like I'm a piece of property that you can just control. I like you, and everyday I'm going to get closer to building a strong relationship with you. If you're going to attack me though, and restrict me, then I'll go, and never come back." Jacob nodded sadly, and when he spoke he sounded hoarse. He had cried a lot recently. "I don't think I could face life without you. When you left yesterday...well let's just say I would've rather gone through torture while passing a kidney stone." Blaine opened his mouth, but Jacob held up a hand. "However, I would rather face that pain a thousand times over then make you feel like some sort of prisoner. I can only be happy with you but, that comes with the condition that you are happy. If you are sad or depressed with me then it isn't worth it. I won't force you to stay with me, because I'm sorry Blaine, but I can't promise too much change. When the wolf takes over, I might as well be dead because it does what it wants with little to no input from me. As soon as I claim you it will be a lot better, but until then all I can do is apologize and try to make you smile with breakfast and coffee. I can also tell you that I am truly and sincerely sorry for what I've done to you. The imprint, the bruises, the possessiveness, the isolation, but most of all for my wolf. I've made arrangements with the Cullen family, if you want you can go stay with them for awhile until a time of your choosing. I will never bother you again. I won't stalk you, call you, or try to talk to you. I love you Blaine, but your happiness means more to me than what my wolf and I want. I'm going to be downstairs, when you're done eating I'll drive you over there. I'm sorry."
He was so hurt as he said all of this that Blaine felt his own heart break and open up. Jacob was willing to sacrifice any hope of his own happiness to make Blaine happy. Wasn't that a good quality in a man? He had to admit, though the prospect of being in the same house as Emmett Cullen was appealing, he would have to be the worse type of person to abandon Jacob now. It would be a dick move worthy of Charlie Manson. No. He could not and would not abandon Jacob Black now, he decided to give the guy another chance. Deep down he had a heart of gold and it just needed a little polishing from the tarnish caused by his wolf.
