Chapter 3

Bella's POV

Getting out of bed really was one of the last things that I wanted to do but the urge to use the bathroom was making it sort of hard not to. That and I was somewhat pinned down to the bed. I had a warm arm draped across my midsection holding me right in place. I figured that it was Jake because this was his room and all but the more I looked at the male lying in bed with me, the more I could tell that this wasn't Jacob at all. It was Embry.

I couldn't help but freak out a little at the fact that I was in bed with a guy that I barely knew. It seemed so right though. We fit perfectly together and this really was the most comfortable that I had ever been. I snuggled in a little closer to him and he in turn wrapped his arms tighter around me; making a little purring noise as he did it. I let a giggle escape by accident but luckily it wasn't enough to wake up the giant beside me.

Embry was extremely attractive but I just couldn't understand why I felt so close to him so soon. It's like I've known him my entire life and not just for the few hours that I met him in Jake's garage. Given I felt an attraction to him back then as well but it was nothing like this. This was…it was…beyond words for me to explain. Almost like it was fate for us to find one another. Now how silly did that sound? Probably as silly as having a vampire ex-boyfriend. My inner monologue really needed to shut up because it was starting to make valid points and that was just scary.

My thoughts were refocused on the man laying beside me. His breathing deep and slow; almost matching his heartbeat. My hand was placed on his chest and I could feel the steady thrum of his heart beating. It was soothing and comforting all at the same time. Just knowing that he was there helped to calm my nerves. That's when I remembered the nightmare. That's why Embry was holding me. I was screaming in my sleep again; these weren't the normal nightmares though. This time there were wolves.

I was standing in the clearing; our clearing. It was eerily calm. No breeze, no birds chirping, not a single sound at all actually. I stood alone just looking into the vast emptiness. I was alone. Was this how my life was supposed to be? Alone with no one to share life with. That's when I saw movement in the tree line in front of me. It was a dark blur. It was way too big to be a person but what else could it be? I knew that there was animals in the woods but this was almost too big to be any animal that I have seen in these woods before. Then there was a howl that echoed through the woods. It sounded just like a wolf. And it sounded extremely close. Now I was starting to get scared. Wolves always traveled in packs so there was definitely more than one around. As if someone could feel my terror a man stared to walk out of the woods toward me. His body looked as if it was designed by the Gods. He was gorgeous. Tanned skin, muscles on every inch of him and the most deep and caring eyes I had ever seen. Without even thinking about it I started to walk toward him. I needed to be close to him. I needed to feel his skin upon mine.

Then the air around us changed and that was the first time I had saw the wolves. They weren't normal wolves though. They were the size of horses. There was, just as I assumed, a pack of them. The first one I noticed was standing right beside then man I was just walking toward. It was fully jet black and the largest one of them all. It had to be the Alpha of the pack because the rest were standing just slightly behind him. The next one was an almost equally large russet wolf. This wolves eyes looked almost familiar to me. As if I had seen him before or he had at least seen me. There were 3 others standing behind them. All very large and intimidating but not scary for some reason. After actually getting to see them it was almost a relief that they were there. Like I was safer just having them near me. Their attitude seemed to change almost instantly though. The man that I had just felt so comfortable with was shaking, almost vibrating. He looked so angry and hurt. I couldn't figure out why so I started to walk toward him and the pack of wolves all growled at me. They looked as if they would pounce on me the first chance they could. I had just instantly become their enemy and I hadn't a clue why. The next few seconds all happened as a blur. The man in front of the wolves bent down on his knees and screamed in agony. He looked and sounded as if he was dying. I wanted to help him but I knew if I moved then rest of the wolves would attack in a heartbeat. As he laid on the ground screaming I could feel the tears falling down my cheeks.

I felt so helpless, why wouldn't the wolves let me help him. The next thing I knew the man in front of me had literally exploded out of his clothing and in his place was a large gray and black wolf. The man I had just felt so comfortable with was a wolf. Not just any wolf but a massive one that had a pack that didn't seem to like me. It was all too much. I couldn't take any of it any longer. I turned to run but instead of making any distance between myself and the wolves I ran right into a pair of cold steel like arms that encircled me to them. When I looked up all I could see was a pair of glowing red eyes. So I did what any girl in this situation would do. I screamed.

The dream felt all too real. Except for the fact that I felt all too comfortable with giant wolves in front of me. Especially when a man had just turned into a wolf. It made no sense but made complete sense all at the same time. I just didn't get it.

I tried to shake the thought from my head and it really wasn't all that hard to do when I had a gorgeous man in bed with me. I looked back down at Embry's sleeping face. I couldn't help but smile to myself as the thought of waking up with Embry every morning popped into my head. How silly of an idea was that though? He was just here to comfort me when I was scared. But then why wasn't it Jake here? This was his house and his room but yet it was Embry that came to me when I needed someone. He was also the one that volunteered to take me to the hospital. Something was going on and I really needed to figure it out because I had a strange feeling that these La Push boys weren't going to clue me in at all.

After my long thought process I suddenly remembered that I still needed to pee so I tried my best at moving Embry's arm off of me and slowly sliding out from underneath of him at the same time. I must not have been trying very gracefully because in a matter of seconds I ended up falling out of the bed with the sheets wrapped around my feet and my butt meet the floor faster than I had a chance to blink.

Em quickly shot out of bed and started looking around trying to figure out where the noise came from.

"Down here." I said with a very small voice. Nothing was worse than trying to be sneaky and falling on your butt in the process. He looked down at me and gave me a gorgeous smile. " If you had a problem with sleeping with me I could have always taken the floor." I couldn't help but laugh at him. Embry just had a way of making me smile.

He reached his hand out to me so I could manage to make it back up off the floor and it was almost as soon as I touched his hand I felt this little shock go through me. Not like static eltricity or anything either. It was a deeper feeling. Like I felt a little jolt go all the way though my body and was a little wake up call for everything to focus on the guy right it front of me. Well whatever it was it really worked because I was now solely focused on the tanned god-like body in front of me.

"Sorry about that Bells. I didn't mean to scare you or anything."

"No emb it's fine. I just didn't want to wake you up. You looked so tired and I thought you should get some rest."

Now it was his turn to blush.

"Yeah well I guess I was. Sam's been having us run extra patrols lately so none of us have gotten much sleep." Then he seemed to realize exactly what he said and rushed to cover up his tracks. "What I mean by patrols is we walk around the rez as kind of a security thing. Like volunteering. To stop…vandalism and stuff. Sounds dumb but the elders think it's a good idea so we do it. The guys are all a part of it. Jake and Quil, well all the guys really."

Ok there was definitely something up with the rez boys and I was bound and determined to figure out what was going on.

"So you guys volunteer? Together?"

"Yea. It's a pack…I mean like a group thing."

"Trying to stop thugs from vandalizing your homes." I gave him the most unbelievable glare I could come up with and I hoped like hell that he could tell I wasn't buying it.

"Yea I mean well basically. We also help clean up and stuff like that. We are just kind of the good guys."

"You say it like that and it makes me think that you have bad guys to deal with too."

"There are bad guys, the vandalizer people. The people that vandalize stuff I mean."

I was finally starting to think I could crack him. He was looking so anxious and worried. I hated doing this to him but there really wasn't any other way. Obvioulsy no one had any intention of telling me what was going on so I will just have to figure it out on my own.

"Ok Embry why don't you tell me what's really going on?"

"But Bells I already told you. We guard the rez and stuff."

"Then explain why I don't believe you."

"Well…I guess because…I don't know. Just trust me ok Bells."

"There is something that you're not telling me Embry. If you were really my friend then you would let me in on it. Why did Jake hit you? Why are you guys all over Sam now? And what in the hell in an imprint?"

Embry just sat there looking at me with an absolutely pained look on his face. It was as if he wanted to tell me something but just couldn't bring himself to say it. Like it was right on the tip of his tounge but it just couldn't find it's way out.

I was really starting to get pissed off now. He couldn't even give me a reason as to why my best friend just slugged him. This was really turning into a terrible day. That's when I heard it. A lone wolf howl. Just like the one in my dream. It wasn't in danger or hurt, it just wanted someone to know where it was. Now how on the Earth did I know that? I don't speak wolf. Hell no one speaks wolf. Well except for Michael J. Fox. I sort of chuckled in my head at the thought. Yea if only there were real werewolves then I could just ask them what a wolfs howl meant.

All thoughts just stopped in my head at that point. Oh my god. I figured it out.

"Oh fuck. I should probably go get Sam. Bella please don't freak ok? I need to talk to you but you need to hear all of this at once and for that to happen I need Sam ok?"

I just nodded my head to whatever he was saying because to be quite honest I couldn't wrap my head around what I was thinking myself. Werewolves and the cold ones. It only made sense. The cold ones. The Cullens. Werewolves. The Quilete legends.

Holy fuck my friends were wolves. My dreams weren't too far fetched. And that was the second time I fainted in less than 24 hours. I really needed to find new friends. At this going rate I'm going to have to many concussions to think about let alone deal with all of this stuff at the same time.
