Chapter 22
Embry's POV
I lay in bed that night thinking about what Paul had said; that if I hurt her he'd break my limbs. Was that like him giving me his blessing? I only wanted her to be safe and happy. If she was happy with me, then great. If not, I'll go.
I stayed awake for hours wondering about the meaning behind Paul's words and eventually drifted off to sleep.
It's hard to get comfortable when you're in one cast, let alone when you're in two. I tossed and turned all night.
There was a knock on my door at around eight, and Mum poked her head around to tell me Sam was waiting downstairs and wanted to see me.
"Embry, your mum is worried about your grades." He told me, "And I think she may have done some snooping regarding your Imprint because she knows my mum is homeschooling her. Well, she was. She got her diploma last year."
"She's already got her diploma? She's only fifteen!"
"She's bright." Sam commented, "That's not why I'm here though. Ruthie was asking about you and I happened to mention the fact that you were failing school and she suggested you go there every day and my mum would teach you. Mum thought it was a good idea too and suggested that the rest of the pack go too, because they are all failing, and she thinks that getting used to you guys would be the perfect way of getting Ruthie to talk."
I was speechless. He was handing me everything I wanted on a silver plate. I got to see Ruthie every day, catch up on my schoolwork and it was her idea, so she wanted me there!
"When do we start?" I asked.
Sam chuckled, "It's going to include a lot of hard work. You can start on Monday."
Sam was still chuckling to himself as he left.
