Embry's POV

I saw him holding her hand, his smile at her, her blush that spread over her cheeks and down her beautiful neck. I wanted to rip his hand off and shove it so far down his throat he could tickle his stomach. I saw flashes in my head of him taking her on a date, she would laugh at all his jokes and touch his arm as she doubled over in glee. They had plenty of things in common. They'd begin dating, she'd lean into his kiss as his hands traveled down her body and to her ass.

Eventually they'd take it a step further. His mouth would caress her curves, sucking and licking places only I should see and touch. She'd writhe and moan as his fingers and mouth brought her unspeakable pleasure. I could picture her with her legs wrapped around his waist as he pumped himself in and out of her, her nails scratching down his back as she screamed his name. She'd bear him pups and spend her life with him and be happy… and I'd have to watch it all.

The pain that shot through my body at the images my mind cooked up was excruciating. I knew they would come true if I didn't do something… so I did the only thing I knew how to. My hand around his throat was satisfying, until I saw his smirk. I knew what he was doing. He was antagonizing me. He was trying to get me to accept the imprint; rat myself out. That pissed me off more. I felt hands on me pulling me back, I vaguely heard a scream from behind me but I didn't care. I would end this little twerp's life if it was the last thing I did.

Suddenly the alpha order hit me like a brick. Sam was screaming at me. Commanding me to go outside. He and Quil drug me out the door and into the woods. I phased immediately, and they weren't too far behind.

"What the fuck man! You almost killed Brady!" Quil's angry tone made me whimper. At the sound of his name all those images came flooding back into my head. I felt my brother's pity roll off of them.

"Embry, the pull is already so strong… are you sure you don't want to break it off with Shay?" Sam's question stops me. Am I sure? No. Do I love Shay? Of course.. Do I love Kai?... I don't know. I shook my head back and forth at his question. I wasn't sure of anything. Suddenly images passed through my head. Shay was in bed with Brady, legs around his waist, screaming his name. I knew what Sam was trying to prove. I wouldn't feel the same way toward this made up scene about Shay as I did about the scene I made up about Kai. I was sad at the scene, it's true, but it didn't fuel my hatefire. It didn't set my heart ablaze like seeing Kai with him.

I had finally calmed down enough to phase back. Quil and Sam followed suit and walked with me back to my house. They told me they needed to get back to Kai's house and bid me goodbye. I pulled some clothes on and sat on my couch and just let my mind wander. I thought about Shay, I thought about Kai, I thought about the imprint… I just thought. I laid my head back and closed my eyes.

I saw her there, she was smiling at me from the kitchen. Our son was running up to her as she was making us breakfast and she was laughing. She turned to smile at me and I could see that her stomach was swollen with our second child. I walked up to her and placed my hand on her stomach and felt my daughter kick. Kai smiled up at me and I leaned down to press a kiss to her lips. Our son made a noise and we laughed at him. He hated how affectionate we were, but we couldn't help it. I had never loved someone so much. Ever.

*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*

I jumped up off the couch in panic. I didn't know what that sound was but I was thankful something shook me out of that dream. My heart was racing and my cock was rock solid. The image of Kai pregnant with my child was better than anything I've ever thought about. Better than any sex I've ever had or any lingerie clad model I've ever looked at.

*KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK*

I turned to my door. Someone was knocking. I adjusted myself a bit and walked over to open the door. Shay was standing there, and she was pissed.

"What the HELL was that?! One second Kai, OUR BEST FRIEND, is standing there talking to Brady and the next second Brady is against the wall with your hand around his throat! What was that about PLEASE explain that to me Embry?!" I stood there gaping like a fish. I didn't know how to answer her. How could I tell her that Brady flirting with Kai drove me into an insane fit of jealousy? That I wanted the future with Kai that I pictured her having with Brady. She stood there waiting.

"Shay… we need to talk."
