Chapter 15
Kim's point of view
Sam and I run to his house and then phase back into our human form. He leads me inside and I'm attacked in a tight hug.
"Thank you, thank you so much," a kind voice says. I look down and see that it's Emily.
"What for?" I ask and she pulls away tears running down her face.
"For saving me, when Sam phased," she says and Sam tenses up.
"Oh, you're welcome," I say.
"She's right, thank you Kim, I don't know what would've happened if you didn't help Emily," he says.
"You're welcome," I say.
"So you know everything, even that Jared imprinted on you?" she asks.
"Yes, and I imprinted on him," I say.
"Does your family know?" Sam asks.
"Yes," I say.
"Just your brother and sister in law correct?" Sam asks and I tense up.
"Yes," I say.
"Kim you're welcome to come over here if you're hungry, tired, or need anything," Emily offers.
"Thank you and thank you for accepting me," I say.
"You're family," Emily says and hugs me. She reminds me of a mother, my mother.
"Well why don't you invite your family over here tomorrow for dinner so we can talk?" Sam asks.
"What about the pack?" I ask.
"I'll have them gone," he says.
"Okay, I'll ask them but I'm pretty sure they'll be able to come," I say.
"Your niece can come too," Emily says and I nod.
"Well I should be getting back, but thanks again and see you tomorrow," I say.
"Bye Kim," Emily says.
"See ya boss," Sam says as I head outside. I go into the forest and phase running home.
When I reach the house Josh is home.
"How was your day?" Josh asks as I enter the living room.
"Good, yours?" I ask.
"Fine," he says.
"How was Sam and Emily's?" Katherine asks.
"Fun, but Sam knows that I'm a shapeshifter," I say.
"What, how?" Josh asks.
"My scent, temperature, and my voice and eyes were familiar," I say.
"Did you confess?" Katherine asks.
"Ya, I knew he wouldn't give up," I say.
"So does the whole pack know?" Josh asks.
"No just Sam and Emily, by the way they invited us over for diner tomorrow," I say.
"We have nothing planned and I would like to meet them, so yes," Katherine says.
"Okay, I'll go text Sam," I say heading upstairs. I go into my room and grab my phone. I text Sam saying we'll be coming for dinner tomorrow. He texts back says okay. I sigh flopping onto my bed and close my eyes. My whole life has changed this past month and I'm happy with the course. I've never been happier, well maybe when my whole family was alive. I fight back tears and turn on my TV to try and distract me. It fails because my family's favorite movie is playing. The tears fall and I cry into my pillow so no one will hear me. I miss them so much! My parents were the best parents ever. They cared for their children and provided a great life for them. Ryan was a great older brother. We would always play together with Josh. He and Josh were very protective of me and watched me like a hawk. When I would get a small cut they would freak out over it and ask if I needed stitches. I would get annoyed but now I would give anything, beside Jared, for that.
"Kim?" a voice asks. I look up and see Jared.
Jared's point of view
I was patrol when I heard crying near Kim's house. I phased back and heard it coming from Kim's room. I only heard her in there so I climbed up the side of the house into her room. I saw Kim on her bed crying into her pillow. The sight broke my heart! What or who made my angel cry?! I walk over to her and look down at my crying imprint.
"Kim?" I ask and her head looks up at me.
"Jared," she whispers.
"What's wrong?" I ask and more tears spill over.
"I, I was thinking of my parents and brother's death," she says crying again.
"Shh, it's okay," I say laying down next to her. She scoots over so there's room for both of us. I pull her close and wrap my arms around her. She cries into my chest and I rub her back.
"I miss them so much," she whimpers.
"Shh sweetheart," I say. She cries until she runs out of tears.
"Do you want to talk?" I ask and she nods her head.
"My parents and older brother died when I was fourteen, two years ago," she says.
"When they died I was so sad and didn't go to school for weeks," she says.
"I got better but it still makes me cry whenever I think of them or see something that reminds of them," she says.
"I started thinking of them before you came and turned on the TV to get my mind off of them but our favorite movie was playing," she says.
"I just lost it and started crying," she says.
"It's okay to be sad Kimmy," I say.
"I know it just hurts," she says.
"I know, but I'm here for you okay," I say and she nods.
"Thank you Jared," she says.
"You're welcome angel," I say and she smiles.
"You really are perfect," she says.
"How so?" I ask.
"You're sweet, smart, brave, strong, handsome, loving, funny, and a great guy," she says.
"Well I think you're the perfect one," I say and she blushes slightly.
"Even your blush is perfect," I say and she blushes harder.
"And you're a charmer," she says and I chuckle slightly. We lay on her bed for awhile; she laying over my stomach while I run my hand though her soft hair. I hear her heart beat slow down and know she's falling asleep. Soon enough her eyes close and she's asleep. I move slowly move her onto her bed and get off the bed.
"Stay with me," she whispers sleepily taking my hand.
"I have work," I say and she sighs.
"Okay, I understand," she says.
"Thank you Kim," I say kissing her head.
"Night Jared, love you," she says closing her eyes. Wait did she just say she loves me!?
"Night angel, love you too," I say kissing her lips lightly. I jump out her window and phase for patrol. I can't believe she loves me!
