A/N: sorry it's been a while since I have updated, but I finished my exams and then had to wait for my silly beta to come back into the country. But good news I have this and the other two chapters done now for you guys then it's just the epilogue left.
Chapter 28
Somehow we ended up asleep on the couch, in the living room.
We were awoken next morning by her dad. I recognised him from the council, so he was in on the secret.
"Embry, I know you've Imprinted on my daughter, but could you please keep a larger distance between the two of you at night. You're both under age." He said, causing me to cringe and curse in my head. I hadn't told her yet.
She scrambled off my lap and out of the room.
"You hadn't told her?" Nathan Lahote asked me, looking guilty.
"No. I still haven't heard her voice either. I didn't want to scare her off." I told him.
"Sorry, I didn't know." He murmured, "I'd assumed she would've been able to talk to you, being soul mates, and that you would have told her by now."
Ruthie stormed back into the room and threw a piece of paper at me before storming out again.
I looked down at the piece of paper. It was half a page of Ruthie's curly handwriting that was going to take me hours to read. I hung my head and started trying to decode Ruthie's note.
"Give it here." Paul said, talking about the note. Which I handed to him and he started to read out loud, "Why didn't you just tell me you had Imprinted on me? And why did my dad know before me? Does Paul know? I thought you actually liked me and weren't being forced to like me. You don't get a choice, I've been chosen for you and that's not fair. What if I didn't want you? You'd be miserable. Why didn't you tell me?"
She thought I was being forced in to liking her, but I couldn't get over the fact that she was mad at me. It pulled really hard at my heart strings and I didn't like it one bit.
It was then that I realised how angry Paul looked. He was shaking, on the verge of phasing.
"It wasn't Embry's fault, Paul," Nathan said, standing up.
"It's not him I'm angry at! She was happy, dad! Why couldn't you just leave it?" Paul spat out, surprising me by coming to my defence.
Why hadn't I told her? I thought desperately.
