The Quileute legends are true. The legends about Shapeshifters, and how our tribe came to be, the Cold Ones are real, and Sam even explained about imprints-how wolves would find their soulmates after they phased, but it was supposed to be rare. I understood why Sam chose Emily over Leah, it definitely changed my opinion on him a little bit more, it didn't make him seem like such a douche anymore. And it also explained why he got so upset when I mentioned him on drugs. The guy glared at me and started growling at me, turns out, it was how he found out he was a wolf-he fled for two weeks, while everyone else had believed that he went missing.

After Sam managed to calm me down long enough for me to shift back, he brought me back to his house. A little red house from the outside-but it was way bigger on the inside. I still didn't believe anything he had to say, so eventually, he had to bring Billy Black. He was well-known around the reservation, and I knew his son, Jacob Black, who was a grade below me. They also explained to me that I wasn't the only one, aside from Sam to shift, there would be others that would shift. They told me the names of who to expect, in case I returned back to school, and I would have to watch out for any others before Sam could get to them.

"Wait… Paul? You're kidding me, Sam. Paul can't be a wolf. It would make everything a living hell."

Sam shrugged, looking completely serious. The guy didn't even crack a smile. "Paul's a part of the pack. I actually expected him to phase before you did."

"But come on, it's Paul Lahote." I complained. Sam had a point though, even if the guy didn't turn into a wolf, or was never involved in any of this Quileute wolf stuff, he had the worst temper ever.

I knew him ever since we were kids, but then again, it was difficult not to know everybody when we all knew each other from back then. Paul's my cousin, but we had a different view of things. Once, I saw him look ready to bash someone's face in, even though Paul was the one to bump into the person. He turned around to see Paul, ready to tell the guy off for bumping into him, but when he saw who it was, he was terrified. He sprinted off, running as fast as he could, like his life depended on it-which in Paul's case, was 100% accurate. Paul ran after him, chasing him out of the school-the guy didn't gain any courage to come back after that, according to the rumors, he stayed home and faked a cold to avoid Paul. He didn't come back for two weeks. Luckily, Paul had forgotten the whole incident when he found someone else to target and bully.

Sam rolled his eyes, like he was reading my mind again. "That's why I need you to watch after Paul the most, the guy's a time-bomb, he could explode any moment. Besides, have you seen Paul? He's getting buff. He's going to phase any time soon-any day, maybe a week-that's maximum."
