Chapter 14
Kim's point of view
I stared at Sam shocked that he figured it out. I should have put on some perfume or something, no that still wouldn't have helped.
"Kim I know you're a shapeshifter too," he says.
"Shh keep it down Jared could hear you!" I whisper yell. I don't need Jared to think of me as a freak!
"See you know that he has super hearing," he says. Busted!
"I have no idea what you're talking about," I say.
"Yes you do Kim," he says. I know he won't back down so I decide to just tell him, I mean he would find out soon anyway.
"Yes alright fine, yes I'm your alpha," I say.
"Why didn't you tell us?" he asks.
"I wanted to be viewed as normal," I say.
"I understand," he says.
"Please please don't tell Jared," I beg.
"Why?" he asks.
"He'll think I'm a freak," I say.
"But he's a shapeshifter too," he points out.
"I know but I just want him to think I'm normal, at least for right now," I say.
"Alright I won't," he says.
"Thank you Sam, and don't tell the others," I say.
"Yes alpha Kim," he says and I smile.
"We should head back, Jared's probably freaking out about you," he says and I nod.
We enter the house and Jared hurries over to me.
"I thought something happened to you!" he says and I chuckle at him.
"No I'm fine, Sam and I just needed to talk," I say.
"About what?" he asks.
"Um family stuff, you know since we're cousins," I say.
"Oh okay, well we should get you home," he says.
"Okay, thank you so much for having me," I say to Emily and Sam.
"It was no problem at all, feel free to come over at anytime," Emily says.
"It was a pleasure to meet you Kim," Sam says smiling.
"You too Sam, thanks again," I say. Jared takes my hand and we head to his car.
"Want to head to the beach?" Jared asks as he opens the door for me.
"Sure," I say getting into the car. He gets in too and we head to the beach.
It's not too cold but not sunny at all so no one's at the beach. Jared and I walk down the beach hand in hand.
"What is that on the back of your neck?" Jared asks.
"Oh um it's a birthmark," I say.
"Really?" he asks looking at it.
"Ya; I know it's weird," I say as I feel his finger tips run over my skin.
"No it's cool," he says and I smile.
"You think it's cool?" I ask.
"Ya, it's unique, just like you," he says and I blush.
"Not everyone thinks that," I say.
"What do you mean?" he asks.
"Some kids teased me when I was younger," I say and he frowns.
"Well they better sleep with one eye open," he says and I chuckle. We continue walk and I enjoy being by my Jared's side.
"Did you enjoy today?" he asks.
"Yes I did, thanks for taking me," I say.
"You're welcome, and they're serious about coming over, they loved you," he says.
"Well I loved them," I say.
"They're like a second family to me," he says.
"I know, I can see it," I say and he kisses my head.
"You're apart of the family now," he says and I smile.
"I wouldn't want to join any other family," I say and he smiles.
"Even with Paul in it?" he asks.
"Even with Paul, cause then I can play pranks on him and I'll have you, Sam, and Embry to protect me," I say and he chuckles.
"I'll always protect you Kim, always," he says seriously.
"I know you will," I say and we kiss.
We walked for a little more but then headed back to my house.
"Thanks again for a great day," I say as we pull up to my house.
"Thanks for coming," he says.
"Um Jared," I say.
"Yes Kim," he says.
"What are we?" I ask.
"You mean relationship status?" he asks and I nod.
"Um I thought we kinda were a couple," he says a little worried. I smile and kiss him lightly.
"Good," I say and he smiles.
"Do you want to meet my family?" he asks.
"I'd love to meet them," I say.
"Great, how about Friday?" he asks and I nod. He hops out and opens my door for me. I get out and smile up at him. He leans down and our lips meet. Fireworks go off as his lips move softly against mine. Kissing Jared is by far the greatest thing ever! My phone starts ringing and we pull away mad.
"Again," he mumbles and I chuckle pecking his lips. I grab my phone and see that Sam sent me a text. It says: Stop kissing your boyfriend and come on patrol, we need to talk. Stupid Sam! I bet he's watching us. I groan and Jared looks at me worried.
"I have to get to work," I say.
"Oh, emergency?" he asks.
"No, my assistant wants to talk," I say.
"Oh, okay then," he says.
"I had a great time," I say.
"Me too, bye Kimmy," he says kissing me softly.
"Bye Jared," I say and head inside. He leaves and I head upstairs.
"Kim is that you?" Katherine asks.
"Yes but I'm about to leave for patrol," I say.
"Okay, be safe," she says.
"Will do," I say and enter my room. I quickly change into sweats and a tank top. I jump out of my window and land perfectly on the ground. I jog into the forest and phase.
"What is so important Sam!" I yell.
"Jeesh don't be mad," he says.
"Well you interrupted me!" I defend.
"Ya I saw," he says and I growl.
"What is it?" I ask.
"Emily and I want to talk with you," he says.
"It'll have to wait till after patrol," I say.
"I'm having Embry take over," he says.
"Without my permission?" I ask.
"Hey you gave me half alpha power so yes," he says and I chuckle.
"Okay," I say and we head to Sam and Emily's.
