Chapter Four: Imprint on a Witch
(Embry's POV)
DISCLAIMER: I don't own the Twilight Saga, all characters, except Marie, belongs to her.
I rode back to the reservation with Jake. We both had patrol tonight with Quil and would have to tell the pack of my imprint. I rubbed my chest, feeling a small sting. Wonder how they'll react with it being Bella's cousin? That'll be a surprise for sure but they might laugh at Marie's dislike for Edward Cullen. Jake pulled into his driveway and checked in with Billy before we went on our patrol.
Sam was out in the clearing with the other wolves when we arrived. Jake caught Sam up on what happened at Bella's house and us meeting Marie along with me imprinting on Marie. Everyone gasped when they saw Marie's scarred face. That's when I felt a massive pain in my chest, right where it had been stinging me. The others didn't feel it but can since it from my thoughts. I fell to the ground, groaning. What was this. What was happening?
The others worried as I howled in pain, not sure what to do. That's when a picture of Marie, upset and hurting, flashed in my mind. The others saw it to but were unsure what it meant. All I knew was that I had to get to Marie. She was upset and I had to help her some how.
'Go to her, Embry. It might stop the pain knowing she is alright,' Sam thought to me.
I got up slowly and nodded. The pain eased a little knowing I was going to her. I was puzzled by what just happened. Quil got up and followed me, helping me if need be. Sam had everyone stay in their wolf forms to see what happened. Marie's house wasn't far from Bella's, I found it by her scent and her father's car.
It was a two story like the other house along the street. Two figures were in a lighted room with curtains. We could hear a quiet shushing and a guiet crying. A female crying; Marie. The other person must be her father, Carson. The bed seemed to be next to the window because their silhouette was close and in a sitting form. Carson held Marie close to comfort her. I wanted to be the one to hold her and comfort her right now. We listened quietly as they talked. It seemed wrong to be eavesdropping but I had to know what's happening to us.
"Marie, I know it hurts for him to be away from you. I felt that pain once before with your mother," Carson told her.
Marie whined and I felt rhe stabbing pain again. I tried not to whine out loud.
"I can sense him, he's close, Dad," Marie said, her crying almost no more.
That bewildered us. How was she able to sense me?
"It doesn't surprise me that your 'custos amator' happens to be a shapeshifter and Bella's is a vampire. To bad she can't remember anything. To be able to take a witch's memory away is powerful magic or very bad concussion to cause amnesia," Carson commented.
Witches, custos amator, amnesia? What does this all mean? Could Marie and Bella be witches and Bella doesn't remember? The pack was confused at the new information they were hearing. Jake was more confused about the 'custos amator' thing, wondering what that has to do with Bella and Edward.
"Dad, open the window, I think he's out there listening to us," Marie said.
Quil backed up into the cover of the tree and left me in the open. I thought about changimg back into my human form.
'Don't worry about it, Embry. She already knows,' Sam told me. 'She probably thinks we know about her, also.'
Carson opened the window and tilted his head at me, smiling. Marie's head poked out and beamed at me. The pain was no longer there, as if it never was. The pack gasped seeing Marie's scars through my thoughts. Marie looked at Carson and he nodded. She crawled out the window and held on to the outside top of it. We gasped in unison, not sure what she was doing. Marie flung herself to the tree branch above my head and dropped down lightly on to my shoulders. I released the breath that I didn't notice I was holding. She giggled a beautiful giggle.
"Don't keep her to long, Embry. She does have school in the morning," Carson said and I nodded my head.
'Quil, come on back and start your patrol with Jake. Embry catch up with them when Marie goes to bed,' Sam commanded before his thoughts along with the others disappeared.
Marie waved at Quil who nodded his head in response, and left. Marie and I were alone. I didn't even hear Jake and Quil for some reason.
'Don't worry, Embry, I only put a shield up, so that we can talk with no interruptions from the peanut gallery,' Marie thoughts connected with me. 'I see you felt it, too, the inexplicable pain. It's horrible.'
'Yeah, it scared the pack when I fell over howling in pain and they didn't know why,' I told her. 'What does 'custos amator' mean?'
'It's Latin for 'guardian lover'. That's what a witch calls her lover who is a wizard, shapeshifter or vampire. A wizard would call his lover an 'amator' since she can't physically protect him or a witch whose lover is human,' Marie explained to me.
I'm her guardian lover. It seemed different than an imprint.
'It is different than an imprint. 'Custos amators' are connected mentally, emotionally, and physically. Where with your imprint, only the wolf feels it, an 'amator' both feel it. That it physically hurts us both. We can also sense each other's emotions and hear each other's thoughts if we want. If we were not together under the full moon within a week of meeting we both could die so that we could be together in the next world,' Marie explained to me.
I gazed at the sky and the clouds moved to show a full moon. I sighed a breathe of relief along with Marie. I layed down on my paws as Marie ran her fingers through my fur.
'Your so soft, ya know,' and there it was, her beautiful southern accent.
I could get used to that. I actually loved it. It sounded sweet coming out of her mouth. She kissed me above my eyes and I gave a soft moan. I hadn't realized until her legs clenched my sides that she was only in a short night gown. I know it was to soon but I had to have her. It's to soon though. I moaned at the feel of her.
"Aushie mosa," I heard Marie whisper and felt my body began to shift slowly and not painfully.
After a few seconds I was human with Marie still on my back. I was completely naked but Marie didn't seem to care. I rolled over as she shifted her body to sit on my chest. She smiled down at me and leaned in placing a light kiss on my lips.
"You're even sexier without any clothes," she whispered, sexily in my ear.
"Don't you think this is going a little fast?" I asked worried she may regret this later.
"Witches move fast though I don't know why. We live forever," she told me.
"You don't age?" I asked curious.
"I stopped aging at 18. It's been a long time since my 18th birthady," she said with a far away expression.
"Not to be rude but, how old are you?" I asked and she smiled.
"To old, that's for sure," she snickered, unoffended by my question but continued when she saw my confused face. "I'm over a couple of millenniums, give or take a decade."
"And still as beautiful as ever," I told her and she blushed a deep red.
The moon was right over head and showered her in its rays. She was absolutely beautiful and I couldn't resist. I wrapped a hand in her hair and pulled her in for a more passionate kiss while my other hand held on to her hip. She leaned in as my tongue skimmed her bottom lip and she suckled my top lip. I groaned and she started grinding on my waist.
"If you two are going to do that, please take it somewhere else," Carson called from Marie's bedroom window.
It surprised me how calmly he was taking this, but considering she's an adult, he doesn't care. She pulled away and scowled at her father for the interruption
"Fine, Dad!" Marie yelled up.
She looked mischieviously at me and then eyed the woods. I got her idea and sat up, pulling her with me. She hooked her legs around me as I ran us to the cover of the trees. She peppered my neck with kisses all the way to the trees.
"Are you sure you're ready?" I asked her, pushing her against a tree.
"Yes, I've waited a really, really long time for you," she said pulling my earlobe in between her teeth.
I groaned into her neck and began skimming my tongue up and down her neck and shoulder, tasting her sweet skin. I inhaled her sweet scent of lavenders and oranges. She shuddered and grabbed the little bit of hair I have and pulled me back to kiss her. She opened her mouth to accept my tongue and as my hands skimmed up her sides, I pulled her nightgown up her body. She moaned into my mouth as my hands brushed over her perky breast, her nipples pebbling. I smiled knowing I'm the one doing this to her, able to drive her crazy.
I rolled her hardened nipples between my thumb and index fingers. I removed her nightgown completely, tossing it somewhere on the ground. Marie pulled away to breathe and laid her head against the tree trunk. I kissed her up and down her exposed neck and collarbone causing her to moan. I took one of her nipples into my mouth as I kneaded her other breast, suckling and nipping on it. She gasped and tangled her fingers into my hair, arching toward me. Her face lit up like a light and her brown eyes seemed to flicker a glowing crystal blue in the moonlight. I gave the same attention to her other breast.
Marie was breathing heavedly by now and her eyes were closed. I trailed one hand to her heated core and felt how wet she was. I traced patterns on her inner thigh before trailing up her clad core.
"Please, Embry," Marie begged breathlessly.
I pulled her underwear off her, tossing it to the ground somewhere and pushed one of my fingers into her tight core. She moaned loudly as I added another finger. She grinded on them causing the friction she wanted. I started pushing and curling my fingers in her, enjoying the sound of her saying my name like a prayer. I hit a soft spot and she moaned louder. I knew she was close as her inside constricted around my fingers. I hit that spot one more time causing her release all over my fingers as she yelled my name. The sweet music to my ears. I softly moved my fingers in her until she stopped spasming before pulling my fingers out of her. I licked my fingers clean, loving her sweet taste.
"You taste so delicious, my beauty," I told her as she watched me suck her juices off my fingers, aroused once again.
Her eyes flickered crystal blue again and I thought that was a witch thing. I pulled her in for another kiss and she moaned tasting herself on my mouth. I kissed her neck as I let her breathe. I lined myself at her entrance and gazed into her eyes to know that I can.
"Make love to me, Embry, but be gentle," she whispered.
I knew what she was talking about and pushed into her slowly, letting her adjust to my size. She nodded for me to continue and pushed in a little further, breaking her barrier. I heard her gasp and saw the tears roll down her cheeks. I kissed them away and kissed her soft lips as she waited out the pain. Once she nodded, I pushed in further.
She smiled at me and I pulled out and thrusted back into her, burying myself to the hilt in her. Her eyes widen with arousal and she laid her head on my shoulders, grinding into me to continue. The feel of being joined as one felt wonderful. I heard Marie moan in my ear at the sensation.
"This feels wonderful," Marie whispered in my ear and I shuddered.
I about lost it when she groaned to my neck and started licking it. That's when I felt a pinch in my neck but didn't pay any attention to it. I hissed as she rode me and, I felt my teeth change, sinking them into the soft flesh of her shoulder. I thrusted into a few more times until we both came, together, screaming each other's name.
"God, Embry, that was wonderful," Marie said, laying her head on my shoulder.
"It was wonderful and to know I am your first and will be the only one," I told her, holding her close.
I waited until she quit spasming before pulling myself out of her. I felt my teeth shift back to normal and found it odd. When I gazed into Marie's eyes, they were glowing crystal blue and her canines were retracting. I jumped back freaked out by her changes.
"Please don't freak out Embry. It's a witch thing for bonding," she told me worried.
"But you had fangs like the vampires in legends and you bit me," I said, freaking out.
I backed away and she fell to her feet on the ground, barefooted. I ran my hand through my short hair. It was wierd but what part of my life was normal? I'm a werewolf, for pete sake.
"You did it, also, to me," she explained looking worried.
I eyed her bare shoulder, where she pointed and saw a bite mark the size of my canines. So, that was the shifting of my teeth. Her eyes were back to normal by the time I gazed into them. The crystal blue was beautiful but I prefer her brown ones.
"It's alright, I'm not scared, just freaked out a little," I told her, carressing her cheek.
Marie breathed a sigh of relief and I bent down to get her clothes for her. She got dressed and I walked her out of the forest. She got dressed, quickly. I stood her on my shoulders, lifting her to her bedroom window. She blew me a kiss before shutting her window.
Best night ever. I love that girl so much. I quickly shifted and ran to the patrol area. Jake and Quil were already at their separate areas when I got to mine.
'About time you got here. We came to get you but heard Marie yelling your name and thought better of it,' Quil thought.
'If we came any closer, we would have seen something, we would never be able to unsee,' Jake thought, shuddering.
'Shut up, guys. At least I'm back,' I thought.
'Yeah, smelling like lavender and oranges, dude,' Quil snickered, coming up to me and sniffing my shoulder.
The sweet scent of my love. I sniffed my shoulder and thought of my previous hour with my love.
'Dude, we don't want to see that stuff,' Quil whined.
'Yeah, keep that to yourself,' Jake added.
'Shut up before I kill you,' I thought harshly.
'Is that a threat?'
'No, it's a promise.'
They went quiet after that and we split up. I couldn't help but think of my night with Marie. It was wonderful. We turned in before sunrise and I went home to eat breakfast and crash, my dreams about Marie, my southern rebel.
