Chapter 40: Embry Finds His Happy Ever After.
I was standing with Paul and the others outside the club. It was my first time coming to a club, and yeah I was a bit nervous. To be honest, I felt like a spare part. Everyone around me had someone. Quil had Leah, Emily was at home but nevertheless, she was Sam's other half, Paul had Bella and Jake, well Jake didn't really have anyone in particular but he was intent on finding someone tonight, whether it be an imprint or not. To put it bluntly, Jake was intent on getting his end away as Paul kept ripping the shit out of him for still being a virgin. Thank God he thought I wasn't or else I'd have copped it as well off of him, once Paul starts on you, he doesn't give up, ever until he's satisfied. Paul started to get a bit antsy as I looked up and saw Bella approaching with another girl. Paul whistled lowly, Bella looked absolutely stunning. But my attention was on the girl with her. She was just beautiful, my eyes met hers and there was a slight shift inside me. Had I imprinted? Sam had described it as the whole world disappearing and your only focus would be on the girl in front of you, but this didn't feel like the way Sam had told me it would. I was confused as to what had actually happened. As she came closer, her scent had my eyes rolling into the back of my head, my wolf was definitely showing signs of interest in this goddess before me. I was like a deer caught in a set of headlights. I couldn't get my word's out, stupid verbal constipation, such a crappy time to keep silent. Bella was looking between the two of us, like she knew something, well I wish to hell she would tell me what it was cause I was between confusion and flummoxed. Bella`s eyes narrowed, yeah she definitely knew something. She introduced the goddess as Angela, and she certainly was, an angel that is! I just smiled at her and looked at her outstretched hand. Taking it in mine, there was a small shot of heat between us as our hands touched. Angela looked at me, she had felt it too, but seemed to shrug it off as quickly as it had happened. I needed to talk to Sam and quick style.
We all went into the club and were led to this huge booth where we all fitted in nicely, with Rom to spare. Luckily for me, Sam sat next to me and I tugged his arm indicating that I needed to speak to him. He moved out of the booth, this felt ridiculous. We'd no sooner Sat down, we must have looked like a pair if Jack in the boxes. We went straight to the gents and I leaned against the sinks. My wolf was howling inside because I was away from my Angel. It had to be an imprint, it couldn't be anything else. Sam looked at me, expectantly for an explanation. So I told him what had happened, how I felt touching her, the small shift as I looked at her. Even Sam looked confused.
"It sounds like an imprint is trying to take place Embry, maybe it will just take a bit longer, not every wolf is the same!" Said Sam softly.
"Why does mine have to be so fucking different!" I said, banging my hands down on the sink counter.
"Look, Jake told me something earlier and it might be the reason as to why your imprint didn't happen straight away, then again it might not!" Said Sam softly again.
"Ok, what is it then, I don't like the fact Jake's been talking about me but the reason had better be a good one before I rip him a new one!" I growled out loudly at Sam.
"Ok, Jake might have mentioned that you had a huge crush on Bella!" Said Sam.
"WHAT?" I shouted, my face flushing in anger.
"Well did you?" Asked Sam.
My mind was racing back to when I'd first met Bella. The first time meeting her was amazing. She was beyond beautiful but the way Jake had spoken had truly not done her enough justice. She was beautiful and smart. A body to die for, but as Jake had said to Quil and I, she had no clue just how gorgeous she was and the effect she had on guys in general. So yeah, I did have a major crush on her but I never told anyone about it, especially Jake since he'd been loved up with her since like forever. That's a boundary you just do not cross, regardless of how much I liked her. I would never tread on Jake's territory.
"Ok, I did, but what the hell has that got to do with the stupid imprint not happening the way it should have Sam?" I asked angrily.
"How did you feel when you shifted and found out about Paul imprinting on Bella?" Asked Sam.
"I was pissed, she deserved better!" I growled out.
"How did your wolf feel?" Asked Sam curiously.
Looking back on it, I realised that my wolf had been perfectly fine with it all, Bella was my pack brother's mate, not mine.
"It didn't bother him at all, why?" I asked.
"Embry, you as the man have to let go of your crush on Bella, then and only then will the imprint between you and Angela be completed!" Said Sam matter of factly.
The realisation hit me in the stomach like I'd been punched in the gut.
Sam was right.
"Ok, let's go back and I'll try!" I said.
Sam just patted my shoulder and we headed back. I kept saying in my head, let it go, let it go. When we reached the booth, I squeezed my way back in. Angela, Leah and bella were all up dancing. I looked at Angela, her eyes eventually meeting mine and whoosh, the whole world disappeared. She smiled at me and I smiled back. That girl was mine, my Angel. Sam saw what had happened and just gave me the I told you so look. God he's a smart bastard, no wonder he's alpha. The good news was that Angela could be told about the pack, but not right now. I was content just to watch her dance away. Her body was lithe, very very athletic. My mind was racing with thoughts of her, kissing her, touching her. My wolf was doing its own personal happy dance. The Man in me was at peace, Bella belonged with Paul, I belonged with Angela and I could not be happier.
Angela came back with a drink in hand, she looked flushed. But divine.
"Hey, you looked good out there, your a good dancer!" I said smiling at her.
"Thanks" she said shyly, her face tinged with red, she looked so innocent.
"Look, do you want to go get a coffee or something, Sam's coming as well!" I said to her gently.
"What about Bella?" She asked curiously.
I looked over to where Bella was, watching her dance with Jake, Paul watching them then growling and striding towards them. Yeah, they were going to be busy.
It was a case of them coming over to us and it was hi and bye. Angela looked lost and confused.
"Look, let's get out of here, I can explain what just happened, but not here!" I said to her. She just nodded her head. Sam just followed us up and out of the club. It was only just gone ten pm, but what a night so far.
We left the club and hailed a cab back to La Push. I knew the diner was open late, it was always open late in a Friday.
The cab dropped us off at Sam's house. Emily had gone to her mother's, so the house was empty. A good thing if you ask me. We walked in slowly, I held tightly onto Angela's hand.
"Ok, I thought we were going to get a coffee, so why are we here exactly?" She asked curiously.
"Sit down please, we have to tell you something!" I said as gently as I could.
"Ok, go for it, it's not bad is it?" She asked, her eye's looking between Sam and myself.
"Well, it depends on your definition of bad, I suppose!" I said rubbing her hand.
Sam smiled at her softly and began to tell her about the legends.
Angela sat there, quite the thing, hanging onto every word Sam said as if it was law. He had this thing in the way he spoke, he was a natural storyteller. Her eyes bulges as Sam spoke, all the while I held her hand, she was so warm.
As Sam finished, she sat back and let out a breath.
"So your telling me, you lot are shape shifting wolves, the cullens are vampires, Paul imprinted on Bella, you imprinted on me which means I'm your soul mate, is that about it?" Asked Angela straightforwardly.
"Yeah, your taking this like a champion I must say!" Said Sam smiling.
"You know, I always knew there was something off with those cullens, poor Bella, Edwards a complete dick to treat her like that, just you wait, if I ever see him again, we will be having word's!" She said angrily.
"So how do you feel about all of it, I mean you believe us don't you?" I questioned her.
"Yeah of course, I mean it explains a hell of alot looking back on things now! But I will be speaking to Bella at some point, she's my best friend, I always knew there was something about her, she's special!" Said Angela Smiling.
We'd been at Sam's for about an hour, Angela said we needed to get to know each other then see where we went from there, but she did accept the imprint between us! We headed out hand in hand and straight to the diner, I was famished. Walking in, there Sat Jake, quill and Leah tucking into a humongous pizza. We sat with them, I smiled at Angela, she had already arranged to stay with Leah, so she called her mom and dad telling them so. They seemed like laidback parents. Good all the same.
Watching my beautiful Angel chat away with Leah and quill, I realised that I had finally found my happy ever after, just like in the fairy tales I'd heard as a kid.
Life was starting to get interesting, very interesting indeed.
