Sometimes I wonder what it would be like if everyone who got the wrong end of the stick in Twilight(which is literally every character but Bella), and the ones who really were unfortunate, were able to instead drop the whole supernatural stuff and just be normal teens in a normal world, living a normal life. That would be so fluffy, and such a wholesome AU!

Wolf Pack Headcanons

Seth and Leah always exchange birthday presents. When they can’t afford to buy something, they’ll hand-make a present. Most recently, Seth made Leah a ceramic cup with World’s Okayest Sister carved into it. Leah gave Seth an IPhone box, inside of another box, duct taped shut, with $20 inside instead of the phone.

Colin cannot watch a movie without talking straight through it. This gets so frustrating that it became a common occurrence to throw things at him to get him to shut up

“That’s why they’re called throw pillows!”

“Shut up, Seth!”

Once a week, the pack gets together at Sam and Emily’s. They all pile on the couch and chairs until there’s no room left, and whoever can’t find a spot has to sit on someone else’s lap.

After Paul starts to flip the board every time he loses, Emily hides monopoly when he’s going to be there for game night. Monopoly gets too intense, she declares, no more monopoly.

Quil, Colin, and Seth form an alliance during uno, vowing to gang up against Sam until his hand is twice as big as anyone else’s.

In response to this, Sam taught Jared and Paul how to count cards, and they came for all the money Quil, Colin and Seth brought for Poker one night. The three older boys brought home $75 that night.

Imprint: When the Moon loved the Sun - Ch. 1 (Twilight)

Summary: When a new family moves into La Push and onto the reservation, hostility begins to form between the two families. But when a Paul Lahote imprints on the princess of the enemy pride, the drama grows, but so does the love between she and him. What could be worse? Oh yeah the Volturi stepping in to cause more trouble.

"Mama tell me the story again of Maverick and Andromache?" I asked, and my mother smiled a soft smile. She was the most beautiful woman in the world to me. She came from a line of great beauty.

"Alright my little cub." she replied curling into the bed. I emitted a gentle purr as I curled up beneath her breast. "There was once a pride of lions, protected by a strong lion male who was a descendent of a pharaoh. Even though his wife was the true matriarch of the pride, this male protected her and her sisters and cousins and cubs and together the pride ruled a thousand years ago in ancient Egypt. On a beautiful night such as this, the queen gave birth to her first daughter, a beautiful daughter named Andromache named after the Greek wife of Hector. Now Andromache had numerous brothers, all that she knew were her siblings by scent alone. They all smelled the same. They were her army, her medjay.

One day, travelers came to Egypt from Europe to trade goods and spices to the pharaoh. The lion people had never seen such pale skin untouched by the sun, so the pharaoh allowed them safe passage. But when they entered the pharaoh's temple, they were immediately seized, for their scent smelled like something other than human flesh."

"They smelled like animals!" I said happily, and my mother laughed and held me tight licking over my forehead.

"Yes, my cub, they smelled like animals. The pharaoh knew that there were other humans touched by the great animal gods and given the ability to change their human forms to match their animal spirits. So, the king imprisoned the European settlers until he figured out if they were trustworthy or not. He spoke with his queen to gain more wisdom on the subject at hand. The queen thought these men were nothing, weak because they were so few in numbers, and so she advised her husband to let the traders go and offered a feast to rebuild their trust yet again. After numerous conversations, the pharaoh and queen found out the traders were shifters of the wolf!" I scrunched my nose.

"Dogs! Yuck!" I scowled, and my mother nodded in agreement.

"Yes, my cub. Despite this however, the two groups continued their trading. Andromache was very curious of the travelers, and as the only daughter of the pharaoh was invited to the banquet, and there she met Maverick, the wolf prince of the pack. It was in that moment that the two locked eyes and immediately fell in love. Now Andromache's mother would never allow the two to marry, and so over time they would meet in secret and love beneath the stars and moon. Some say his love was so deep for her, that he was willing to die a thousand times over than see her in the arms of another lion…"

"What happened to Maverick and Andromache Mama?" I asked. She smiled almost sadly.

"They parted ways, forced by time and space to forget about each other. Andromache married a lion worthy of her and had numerous cubs and created a strong bloodline of which we are directly born of." she said and slowly slid from my bed and tucked me in beneath the blankets.

"But Mama, how can a lion love a wolf?" I asked.

"Maybe it was a disease that poisoned their minds and made them love each other… or maybe it was something in their spirits." she replied.

"I could never love a wolf. They're smelly and gross." I spouted, and she chuckled lovingly.

"You have been taught well. Rest my darling for tomorrow a new journey begins for you." I looked up at my giant bed that could fit many of my brothers and cousins. Yet I had it all to myself. I blinked and looked at my mother as she moved toward the doorway.

"Wait, Mama, whatever happened to Maverick?" I asked. She paused in the doorway and looked at me with kind eyes.

"Maverick grew up and had a family of his own and died when it was his time….”

There is nothing more sacred or important than family. My family was everything to me. You did what you had to do to protect your pride even during a migration such as this. My father, Leon King, was the protector of our pride. He was strong and powerful. He along with his cousin, Emery, were the only two males not born into our pride but instead accepted into our pride. My mother, Zena, was ruthless, but it was hidden by her innocent like beauty. Raised by a strong mother and aunts, she would do anything to keep power as matriarch. Then there were my older brothers, twins Micah and Leonardo. They were strong too, ready to kill and protect our family. My mother decided it was time to move and find a place to hide ourselves and lay low in. She wanted Florida because it was hot and we loved the heat, but instead she took a major turn, at least in my opinion.

She wanted a place in Washington. Specifically, she wanted La Push and what she wanted, my dad was willing to give. He is a wealthy businessman who bought a large chunk of the land, much to the dismay of the natives who owned the land first. But that meant nothing to my mother, what she cared for was the survival of her pride, and sometimes you must conquer to protect your own. I stared at the moving van from the window of our car while mother sat in the front passenger's seat. She was watching father direct the men as they carried our furniture inside our new home. It was made of wood; something I was not used to.

"You might as well have moved us into a log cabin." I teased.

"The trees will provide perfect shade as there are large fields for grazing. We can hunt if we want or buy food in town. Give it time this entire land will be ours soon." she replied. Her hair was in a long French braid that disappeared down her back. She was in a white crop top and matching long skirt. Her golden sun tattoo that shaped around her naval had a sparkling glow to it. Everyone in our pride had them even the male cubs and my father and uncle were marked with the tattoo. I watched as my brothers helped carry a heavy block of marble inside. It should have taken more men, but with my brothers' strength they did not need the help. It was warm today, so they were shirtless. Micah's caramel-colored locks were pulled up into a messy bun while Leo's locks were braided back.

"You think the natives will try and talk to us?" I asked. Mother gave a light scoff.

"They can bark or howl or talk as much as they want… as long as they do not try and start anything." she replied with little to no interest. I had mixed feelings about just butting in on their land, but I kept said feelings to myself.

"Should we not ask to see if Aunt Ma'at and the others need our help?" I asked, and Mother exhaled leaning back into her seat. Her orange, brown eyes were still watching my father. She was so in love.

"Your aunts and cousins and have their own homes to decorate. Let's give them space to settle in." she said. I only nodded and looked back out watching as the men continued to move our things into the house.

"Can I at least go out and look around?" I asked. Her nose scrunched up at the thought and she looked back at me. Her cocoa skin was flawless, no blemishes marked her.

"If you truly wish to then fine. But stay in the parameter." she said. I bit my lip.

"But there's a beach a couple of minutes away." I added. She inhaled softly and nodded.

"Alright my cub, go, but do not be out long. Once everyone is settled, we have much to discuss with the rest of the pride. If we are going to raise our cubs here, we must be sure everyone is on the same page." she said. I gave a soft hiss of happiness before leaning forward and nuzzling my head against her. She licked the top of my forehead quickly before I got out. I closed the door and began to move toward the street.

"Vitanja." Father called our warningly, and I paused and turned to look at him. He just gave me a familiar look as if telling me to mind my mother's words. I gave a soft hiss in understanding, and he nodded as if giving me permission to continue. I smiled and turned and took off down the road. I wore the same outfit my mother wore and so it flowed behind me as I ran. I loved feeling the wind against my flesh. I could taste it and the water of the beach and its sand. La Push is my home now, and I couldn't wait to experience everything it had to offer.

Imprint: When the Moon loved the Sun - Ch. 10 (Twilight)

I sat on the edge of my window that night. It was open and the wind just blew into my room, my white gown flowing with the breeze. No one had anything to say when we returned. We all separated to our homes and that was that. I could hear my parents speaking in the other room.

“I knew those mummies were trouble. They drew first blood you know. And those wolves! That boy caused her to get hurt!” my mother said in anger.

“Darling, it was all a misunderstanding, and you know it. It’s not sexy trying to look for a reason to be angry.” Father announced.

“Do you not even care that the other creatures were responsible for everything that happened today!” she snapped.

“Of course, I care. But Vitanja is safe and so are the other cubs. It’s over.” he said. “Now come to bed and let me ease your mind from the day.” Now that I did not want to stick around for. I quickly grabbed my sandals and climbed out of my window landing on my feet. It was warm out tonight, so I figured, I’d go down to the beach. Sure, it was a school night, but it wasn’t like I’d be tired. I merely took my time as I strolled down the street. I let the smell of the water guide me. I needed to think anyways and being at home was not going to help.

Why would Paul pull a stunt like that and risk causing conflict between our packs? In some way, I could understand the misunderstanding with the Cullens, but Paul, I don’t know. It’s like he didn’t want me to fight at all. Why would he stop me, why single me out? Why did he care? Surely, he knew getting himself in trouble with my family was going to cause bad blood. My mother could have demanded an all-out fight right there. How would he ever tell his imprint his feelings if he were dead?

 I suddenly paused as I started to think back to the moments of when I first met him to now. He was always being weird around me, staring at me as if he was lost or something. His attitude with the bikers earlier was fierce. He was ready to fight them right then and there. He was protective of me.

" It’s complicated. I don’t think she likes me- or would like me, and I don’t want to face rejection."

"Well, you don't talk to her, look at her, or even think about her. You got that?"

“I want to know more about you and your culture."

My mouth parted some as I looked down suddenly realizing it. I shook my head.

“No. No it’s not true.” I replied. Surely not. The rumbling above me made me look to the sky. The moon was out high, but I gently felt the sprinkling of the rain. But I didn’t care. There was no way I was going to stay in the house and smell parent hormones. I hurried and followed the scent of the water. I moved down the hill, to the sand and just stared at the waves as they crashed against each other. It wasn’t violent crashes, but not safe to swim in. The rain had already stopped, and I sighed happily at this. But a familiar scent caught my nose, and I tensed some and turned to see a jeep parked in the parking lot.

I held myself as I watched the head lights go off and someone step out. And of course, it was Paul in a black sleeveless hoodie and cutoff jeans. He jogged down the sand toward me, and I just stood there like a deer stuck in headlights. He slowed his jog once he was a few feet from me. His eyes were sad and filled with pain.

“What are you doing here?” I asked lowly. He just stood there staring at me for a long moment.

“I couldn’t stay away.” he said softly, and I just stared at him a soft frown playing on my face. I looked away and Paul stepped closer to me. “Vitanja, I’m so sorry about what happened earlier. When Sam told us the Cullens had crossed over into our territory, I was ready to kill them, all of them, but when they led us to the fight, I had to make sure you didn’t get involved or get hurt. I knew you couldn’t understand me so I…”

“Pushed me down a hill where I got impaled by a tree branch.” I stated finally looking back at him. He closed his eyes and looked down; his jaw tightened some.

“Yes.” he choked out and looked up at me. I stared at him for a long moment. I couldn’t believe I was going to ask this.

“Did you imprint on me?” I asked. His eyes widened and his body tightened visibly. He swallowed.

“Yes.” he said breathlessly. I winced and closed my eyes.

“Oh God. Why Paul?” I asked, and he shook his head quickly, the stress there.

“I don’t know! I didn’t mean to! I don’t have control over it!” he said his voice filled with stressed. He opened his arms out to me. “But the second I saw what had happened to you, what I had caused, I wanted to die. I wanted your family to kill me right then and there.” I winced and looked away some.

“So why didn’t they, I wonder.” I whispered.

“Oh, your mother gave the order. But your father convinced her to back down.” he said, and I just looked up at him wondering if I should believe him or not. It didn’t matter, everything that happened was wrong. It was all wrong! I walked around him finally and began to walk back to the forest.

“Where are you going?” he asked.

“Home.” I said obviously in denial of this.

“Vitanja, wait we should talk about this!” he said grabbing my hand. I immediately felt pain in my side as if reminded of what happened earlier. I hissed violently and ripped my arm from his.

“Stay away from me! I reject you!” I snap. His eyes widened, and he just seemed frozen. I shook my head. “This cannot happen; we cannot happen. Go home.”

He was a wolf, I was a lioness, there was no future for us! It was forbidden! I just backed away watching as he just looked down, eyes widening more. I would not dare turn my back on him for he was a predator, and I couldn’t trust him. Once I was far enough, I turned and jogged back home. I had never rejected anyone before. And deep down it hurt me to hurt someone’s feelings. But his feelings were not real, he didn’t like me because he wanted to. He liked me because his spirit decided that for him. And that wasn’t fair to either of us. It was dangerous and I wouldn’t risk backlash on anyone for this. Tears fell down my face. Why was I crying?

I could hear a scream coming from behind me. I stopped for a second and looked over my shoulder back toward the beach. I’m sorry Maverick.

Paul’s POV

I stared at the spot she stood in for lord knows how long. I reject you! I reject you! I reject you! It just keeps playing over and over as it does, knots form in my body and start to hurt and spread through my body. My heart hurt, and I could feel tears swell up in my eyes and fall. I never cried. My body is shaking, and I just feel overwhelmed by my thoughts. My body colliding with hers and us tumbling down the hill. Us getting up and her snapping at me, but blood is the only thing I can smell- what I can see.

“What have you done?”

“Why have you done this?

She was in so much pain; I could feel it in my soul. And it was because of me. I did this to her.

“And it’s your fault she rejected us!” I had hurt my imprint and now she rejected me. I was shaking so badly, but I wasn’t phasing. I whimpered as I finally leaned over, curling my fists into my hair and I could feel it all shooting through my lungs as I let out a blood piercing scream. It was hard and loud, and it burned my throat quickly. I should have phased already, but I knew that wasn’t going to happen. I didn’t deserve to phase. I didn’t deserve to be with her. I didn’t deserve to live.

My scream died and I just panted now moaning lowly up at the sky.

“I’m sorry.” I cried out. “I’m sorry.” I finally looked at the ocean that was crashing together. It was calling me. Come drink us in and let us put you to sleep so you don’t feel pain anymore. I felt completely numb now. I just wanted it all to stop. This would make her happy, this would make up for me almost killing her! I let my feet drag me to the water. Slowly, my shoes filled with water, but I didn’t even feel it. I just felt her pain. I caused this pain. I deserve this…

“Come drink us all in” The water called me, and I could hear her voice as it called me. Just keep moving forward. Do the right thing and disappear forever. You can’t hurt her anymore if you disappear forever. Is this what Maverick felt when Andromache denied him. She probably told him they couldn’t be together. Or maybe to stay away and that she rejected him.

Drink us all in and feel her pain forever. The water sloshes around my waist and is going up my chest. That’s what I’ll do.

“I’ll drink it all in.” I say to myself.

“Paul!” someone is calling out to me. I don’t care. I just want to die.

“Paul!” someone else screams. I feel the water getting close to my chin before I’m grabbed and taken away from the beautiful water that calls me with her voice.

“NO LET ME GO!” I shouted fighting against the hands that held me.

“Paul, calm down!” Sam.

“What the hell are you trying to do!” Embry yells as they drag me from the water.

“JUST LET ME GO!” I yell trying to fight against them so I could return to the water, and drink it in.

“What’s gotten into you?” Jared asked and finally, I stopped struggling, the pain returning to my face as I looked at Sam.

“She rejected me Sam. She doesn’t want me.” I cried out and he winced slowly and placed my head into his chest as I sobbed into him.

“Okay. Let’s get you to Em’s.” he said lowly. I didn’t even want to be awake right now the feelings were sucking the strength out of me.

Vitanja’s POV

I kept my hair down today as I slide on a navy green t-shirt and jeans. Cleola and the others arrived, and I drove us to school in silence. I didn’t sleep at all last night. I was replaying everything in my mind from the moment I met Paul Lahote to last night. How could I not see this coming? His imprint? It wasn’t possible. But Maverick and Andromache would say different.

The very first time he tackled me into the water… how he stared at me with a deep unreadable gaze.That must be when it happened.

When I got to school, I helped my cousins out and Cleola just jumped down beside me staring at me with worry.

“What’s wrong? You’ve been quiet since yesterday. Was it the mummies?” she asked. I shook my head.

“I’m fine. I just didn’t get any sleep. Come on.” I replied and walked with them inside. As I put my things in my locker, I realized I had to go to homeroom. Jared and Paul would be there. I sighed not wanting to deal with either of them. I was sure there was going to be some type of issue. But I was strong. I would not be intimidated by any of them. I opened the door and moved inside and looked directly to the back and saw no familiar faces. I was stunned to see Jared and Paul were not here and I just inhaled some and exhaled with relief.

As I sat down, I looked over to Paul’s desk. I couldn’t help but feel something was wrong. I mean both wolves were absent. I pushed the thoughts from my mind and continued through with school. School today was dull, I was already settled somewhat after yesterday and was just ready to be done. I was walking to my first class when I noticed a scent. I paused realizing it was Sam Uley. I followed the smell outside and saw him standing next to my truck. He made eye contact with me immediately, and he looked almost concerned.

I had no issues with Sam as far as I knew, but I wasn’t a fool. He must know about what went down with Paul and me. Maybe he came to yell at me or maybe he too knew that Paul imprinted on me. I took some even breaths walked over to the truck.

“Sam.” I replied professionally. He nodded at me.

“Vitanja.” he said. I looked him over some.

“Is everything okay?” I asked. He shook his head.

“No. Something happened last night.” he said. Now I felt concern.

“Paul.” I assume, and he nodded.

“You and I need to talk. Want to give me a ride to my fiancé’s place?” he asked. I tensed some at the request unsure if I should trust him. He shook his head.

“You’re not in any trouble. Our most sacred law is that we can never harm our imprints.” he said. I stared at him closely before sighing and nodding. So he knew.

“Get in.” I replied unlocking the truck and he nodded and got in. I walked around the front and looked toward the entrance of the school to see my cousins standing there mildly alarmed. I only smiled and raised my hand to them. “I’ll be back. Do not worry.”

 I didn’t have time to look at their disapproving faces. I got in, started the truck, and backed out. I drove onto the main road.

“What’s this about?” I asked trying to remain calm and collective.

“Turn here. Just keep going straight. You’ll get to her home.” he said pointing to an off road. I looked away and took the turn. Once more it was quiet, and it was starting to make me anxious. “Years ago, I imprinted on my fiancé, Emily. I was dating Leah, her cousin at the time. You can imagine the drama that followed, breaking up with one cousin to be with the other.” I arched a brow at the sudden start of this story. I glanced at him then looked ahead. He was calm and leaning into the seat as if he was completely at ease.

“No matter how much I fought the urge to stay away from Emily, I couldn’t. She was the one for me, she was the anchor that kept me leveled. But out of respect for Leah, Emily rejected me. I understood her loyalty, and so I too tried to fight the bond of the imprint. But I failed, miserably. One day, Emily and I had a fight, and she said some things that set me off- made me lose control of my shifting.” he said, his voice now strained and dark. I glanced at him and noticed the look of sadness in his eyes as he looked down at his knees. “I shifted and Emily was too close, and I hurt her.” He finally looked at me, and I looked at him for a moment before turning my eyes to the dirt road again. I wanted to ask if she was okay, but I knew the answer to that since we were going to her house.

“She is a human?” I asked softly and he nodded quietly. I nodded slowly in return.

“I wanted to kill myself after I found out what I had done. I wanted to die immediately. Wolves will do just about anything their imprintee asks of them. So, I asked her to tell me to kill myself.” He explained. I winced at his words. I didn’t realize how strong the imprint bond was.

“But she didn’t.” I assumed and he nodded.

“She didn’t.” he confirmed before looking at me. “Paul tried to kill himself last night.” My eyes widened as I looked at him swiftly.

“What!” I snapped, and he nodded once more.

“He blames himself for you getting hurt yesterday with the Cullen and thought drowning himself in the ocean would make up for it.” he explained quietly. I felt my heart drop into my stomach, and I felt complete shock and panic overtake me.

“Is he alright?” I asked, and he nodded.

“Yeah. The pack is watching him. But I think you two need to talk. I can’t have a suicidal wolf here…  that’s a danger for all of us.” he said. I don’t know why I felt pain rush over me. Yes, I did. I rejected him, turned him away.

“Oh Ra.” I whispered feeling the guilt overwhelm me.

“I’m not saying this is your fault,” Sam added. “What happened all yesterday was an accident, and you were upset, and you had every right to be. When I hurt Emily, it was like getting shot in the chest over and over again. It wasn’t her fault and this wasn’t your fault. But I just want you to know we understand this situation because it has never happened before. Hell Jacob imprinting on a half human half vampire still shocks us. We don’t want issues with your family which is why I came to you instead of your mother. This only involves you and Paul.” he explained. I looked ahead letting his words sink in. God this was all so fucked up.

I could hardly think right now as a large wooden house came into view. There were plants on the large deck and chairs and wooden little figurines. Out front were shirtless boys and a fully dressed Leah. I cut off my truck and got out as Sam did. They all looked at us and Leah walked up to me and frowned. I immediately tensed.

“You! You did this!” she snapped. Sam placed his hand on her shoulder stopping her from getting closer.

“Leah, back off!” he demanded. The door suddenly opened and out came a slender young Native woman. She had long black tresses and her eyes were a deep brown. I noticed the scars immediately on her face and had to fight the urge to touch my own face.

“What’s going on out here?” she asked. She stopped on the edge of the porch and just looked down at me. She looked almost mesmerized by me, and I just raised my head up at her. Sam walked over to her and kissed the side of her head and immediately she smiled. But the scars did not move.

“Hey. Emily this is Vitanja. Vitanja, my finance Emily.” he introduced. I noticed Sam didn’t title her his imprint. That title didn’t define them. I was at the bottom of the steps now and before I realized what I had done, I had lifted my hand to meet her, the woman of a wolf. I looked at my hand never before really initiating the gesture before. Emily took my hand with a kind smile.

“It’s nice to meet you.” she said politely before looking up at him. “He’s awake.” Sam nodded, a look of worry spreading on his face as he looked at me.

“Come on.” he motioned me inside, and I slowly stepped up on the steps and followed him inside. I didn’t even know what I was going to do once I saw him. If anything, I was scared for I had never been in this position before.

Imprint: When the Moon loved the Sun - Ch. 27 (Twilight)

We left my home and were now cruising to the main road.

“Do you think Cheyton Littlestone will try and get revenge on us somehow?” I asked looking at Paul. I knew it was a random subject to bring up, but it did concern me. We needed no enemies from anyone. Paul smirks with satisfaction.

“Bella’s father, Charlie is the chief of police. They busted a Blackbone heroin operation a couple of days ago. All the big players, including Cheyton himself, are locked up and the rest of moved from town. None of them will bother you or your family again.” he said. I smiled at his words and nodded happy to hear it.

“Good.” I said warmly and looked ahead and he continued to smile before he started to look embarrassed for some reason.

“Don’t think I’m a perv or anything, but I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the first time we, you know, did it.” he said, and I arched a brow looking at him.

“I hope the thoughts are good.” I said and he nodded swiftly.

“Oh very good. I’ve been with many girls and you were out of this world amazing better than all.” he exclaimed and now he shut his eyes and groaned. “I cannot believe I just said that. I’m sorry babe.” He sounded so guilty and sincere. I shook my head smiling still as he brought a bottle of water to his lips that sat in his cup holder.

“It’s okay. I am not offended. You were amazing for my first time. I have read a lot that human women don’t always orgasm on their first time or even their hundredth time. My orgasm was so strong, I still smell myself on you.” I said and Paul spluttered his water, coughing some.

“Really?” he coughed out and looked down at his own crotch. I nodded casually keeping my eyes on the road.

“Yes.” I replied.

“Well… I am glad you enjoyed it.” he said and I smiled.

“Now that I am no longer a virgin, I won’t be going easy on you.” I said and whipped his head at me shocked.

“Easy? You were going easy on me?” he asked. I nodded.

“You don’t have to go easy on me either. We’re animals too, Paul. I can handle roughness.” I said. He looked back at the road clearing his throat.

“I will remember that.” he said coolly and I smiled more looking out the window. The trees passed by quickly in fast green flashes.

“So what all happens at these bonfires?” I asked glancing back at Paul. He smiled knowingly.

“Drinking, dancing, a little swimming.” he said with a mischievous smirk. I tilted my head.

“I didn’t know you drink.” I replied and he shook his head.

“Nah Sam is definitely against it when we are with non-shifters. Drunk us can still shift out of control if something happens. Besides we’d just burn it all off.” he said before motioning his head at me. “What about you? You drink?” I nodded.

“Yes with my family. We have ancient wine.” I purred.

“Ancient wine? Sounds like quite a ride.” he said as if impressed. I grinned looking at the road.

“If you’re not ready it can… do much to you.” I said softly.

“Really like what?” he asked.

“Make you see things… make all feelings leave you and you feel your flying. It really depends on the person.” I replied thinking of all the times I saw first time drinking family members drink the wine. It took days to bring them down from their haziness.

“Sounds like my kind of party.” he said and I playfully scoffed.

“Well all I can say is you should not drink it without someone you absolutely trust to be with you. If you’re ever liked enough to get invited again to a party you will not drink anything they give you unless I am with you.” I explained.

“Well I trust you wouldn’t let me black out.” he teased and I just smiled.

“Of course not.” I replied.

We arrived at Emily’s and I saw numerous jeeps and trucks in the front and side of her house. As we got out, I heard Paul shout to the house the same way I would hear Native Americans do in westerns. As we met around the front of the truck, the door opened and out came Seth first who smiled happily at us.

“Hey V!” he gushed and I smiled.

“Seth, hey how are you?” I asked and he shrugged.

“Oh you know same old thing.” he said and I smiled more as the door opened and out came Leah and Jacob.

“Vitanja, good to see you again.” Jake said and I nodded.

“Hey.” I replied before looking at Leah who just walked past us without much word. I just smiled at the ground as she passed.

“She doesn’t like me very much does she?” I asked.

“She doesn’t like anyone who imprints.” Paul muttered draping his arm around my shoulder.

“Easy Paul. She’s still trying to figure things out.” Jake said. It must be hard to see a man you once loved with a woman of your own blood. In our pride that happened a lot. But Paul told me Sam and Leah went to high school together. That kind of history you don’t erase easily. I felt sorry for her. The door opened up again and Sam came out with Embry, Quil, Jared, Brady and Colin behind them. But when they all saw me they looked completely uncomfortable and looked down at the ground. I blinked confused.

“What is the matter, boys?” I asked as Paul dipped his head down as if avoiding eye contact with them.

“Sorry, V. Kind of hard to look at you after seeing Paul’s very clear thoughts of you two.” Jared said. It took me a second to figure out what he meant until I realized what he meant. I looked at Paul hard.

“You… thought of that?” I whispered.

“I didn’t know anyone was patrolling when I phased. I told you I haven’t been able to stop thinking of it.” he whispered even though there was no point in it. I just looked around at everyone embarrassed before letting out a soft hiss and turned my back to everyone now as they snickered. I felt naked now, even though I was dressed and used to it. But the wolf pack was not a group I tried to be naked in front of.

“I know that hiss.” I heard Emily say which made me smile again and I turned and looked to see Emily passing through the pack. “Hey, V.” I opened my arms and embraced her purring gently against her. In a week alone, I felt drawn and close to Emily. She had a motherly way about her. I leaned back and pressed my forehead against her which she accepted. I had done this when we saw each other at the store a few days ago in front of other pride members so they knew to respect her when the royal family was not around. She was one to be respected. We took a step back from each other.

“I hear you’re going to party with us.” she said. I looked at her stupefied.

“You’re going?” I asked and she giggled some. “Of course. I do like to get out every once in a while.” I nodded quickly.

“Of course. What time is this thing happening?” I asked as Sam looked at his watch.

“Everyone should be heading to the beach now. We should all get over there.” he said. Now everyone began to separate from each other and moving to their vehicles. I turned and moved back to the truck hiding my excitement as we began to leave the house again. The drive was silent and I was too busy thinking about this event. Did the wolves party hard or were they relaxed partiers? I noticed the truck moving off to the side of the road and I looked at Paul who just looked at me with more guilt.

“Vitanja, I’m sorry about what you found out back there. It’s hard keeping our thoughts private when in wolf form.” he said. I was stiff but I nodded not wanting to be late for the beach.

“I will get over it, Paul. I hear things all the time in my family’s minds.” I said and he shook his head.

“I think it’s because it’s different with you. To sleep with your imprint is the best feeling in the world and I just feel… addicted to you. I mean I thought about you a lot after imprinting but now, I feel even more connected to you now. I feel one with you.” he said. “I want you more all the time. It’s like I can’t get enough of you. You are this drug that’s deep in my veins, so deep I feel I’d die without you.” His words melted into my mind as I could see the raw emotion in his eyes. So much my body was reacting to his words as if he was touching me himself. I unbuckled my seatbelt and shifted over to him and he pulled me into him after unbuckling his seatbelt. I leaned in and kissed him heatedly.

“Maverick and Andromache would be jealous if they lived to see us now.” I whispered against his lips. “We have something they can never have.” I moved my fingers beneath his hoodie and ran my fingers gently over his flesh. My fingers outlined his abs and I gently pressed against his muscles. I pressed my forehead against his sighing gently against him as I began to move my hips against him. He growled lowly in response as he rubbed his forehead against mine.

“Tell me this will last forever.” he whispered licking over my lips swiftly which made the hair on my back stand immediately. His hands moved to unbutton my shorts.

“This will last forever.” I whisper unbuttoning his pants and we both slid the others pants down with my panties and his boxers along with them. We panted gently against each other as I lifted my body up and positioned the head of his cock at my wet entrance. Strange, how words can make my inside turn to mush and throb uncontrollably from deep inside. I take him inside me and we both groan against each other’s lips. I wasted no time in moving my hips against his, the truck quickly feeling with moans and whimpers. I pull back and he leans in now wanting to be away from me for a second. He wraps his arms around my hips and buries his face into my chest. The car is unbelievably how and we do not care. His hips buck upward into me filling me up completely. My eyes close as I drink in the pleasure of his body. Our bodies move together perfectly, still in tune with each other after a week and a half a part. My hand reaches back pressing into the radio. The music cuts on.

Girl I will cover you when the sky comes crashing in.

I'll go the distance, lead the way to your darkest sin You know there's something coming down from the sky above.

I knew this song. I had heard it before and it was perfect song to melt into with our love making. World on Fire by Les Friction. I gripped Paul’s face as I kissed him hard and he growled biting my bottom lip and tugging at it.

“You’re lucky we have limited space or else I’d be even rougher.” he said and I smirked and immediately tightened up and he gasped into my mouth and suddenly began to shift into the passenger side, pressing me into the seat, and with his other hand moving onto the side. The seat falls back and now he is on top of me thrusting into me hard and wild.

World on Fire with a smoking sun stops everything and everyone.

 Brace yourself for all will pay.

Help is on the way!

I cry out louder as I feel Paul’s cock digging deeper and harder into me. My feet are pressing against the front glove compartment and radio. If I apply anymore pressure I could easily break his radio. Paul’s teeth sink into my neck and I grip his shirt hard tearing it right down the middle. His hands respond by merely pulling the torn fabric off and throwing it to the ground. His lips find mine again and he moans deeply against them. I feel the vibrations of his body against mine. He’s still trying to keep control. I wrap my legs around his hips and I feel his arms reach up and grab the seat as his hips keep thrusting into mine and I hear a fierce clank noise above me. I look up to see he had torn the head rest off of the hinges. However, my eyes are clouded with so much lust if he doesn’t care, I don’t.

I just let my hips continue to meet his thrusts. It’s like our bodies are on autopilot. We can’t stop moving, we don’t want to stop. I rake my hands down his back roughly and I can feel them growing sweaty. Ra, it feels so good. I’m drowning in it all. We finally make eye contact with each other and I notice his eyes have greyed over as I can see the flash of my gold hues. It was the same as when we were in the trees that night of our date. We were truly ourselves in this moment. Our eyes weaken as I can tell we are both going to cum. His head lifts as he releases a loud growl as I release a loud groan as my vagina rings uncontrollably and throbs wildly. My legs shake as I feel him coating my walls with everything he’s got. Now we pant raggedly as his hand had a mildly firm grip in my hair as if he were holding on. I feel his moist forehead against my shoulder and he slowly lift his head up so his eyes could meet mine. I was looking at the car ceiling when I look to meet his now brown eyes. I smile lovingly as he returns the smile and leans down and kisses me gently before collapsing onto me. We were both quiet as we remained like this for a little bit.

I suddenly found myself chuckling.

“What is it?” Paul asks heavy breathed.

“Now your pack has something new to see when you shift.” I said. Paul’s body shook as a mumbled laugh escapes him and he just looks at me and we both laugh genuinely. After a few seconds, he finally moves off me and I move the seat up. He was breathing a bit more evenly now.

“Okay, pretty sure we are going to be a bit late.” he said and I looked at him

“You think they’ll believe that we got lost?” I asked. He shook his head smirking as he started the truck.

“Not a chance.” He said and I just smiled as the truck began to move onto the road again.

Vitanja’s POV

It was dark as Paul’s truck pulled off the main road and onto an off-rode trail. It was hilly, and pitch black. However, I saw everything clearly. The smells everywhere did not alert me to danger. I could hear rumbling from the clouds above, and I leaned forward and looked up at the sky. Pale grey clouds covered the stars as a drizzle of water began to hit the front window. Paul glanced at me.

“You okay? You still trust me to take you up here?” he asked lightly. I looked at him now before nodding once.

“Yes.” I replied confidently. He nodded with a smile.

“Good.” he said with relief. I tilted my head some leaning back with my head resting on the headrest.

“You sound reassured.” I noted, and he nodded his eyes looking from me to the road and to me again.

“Well yeah, I mean ever since I imprinted on you all I wanted was for you to trust me to need me-” he trailed off. There was a silence now as I knew he purposely quieted himself.

“To want you?” I asked quietly, enough for him to hear me. His lips pierced together, and he looked out his window and shrugged shyly.

“Yeah.” he replied, and I looked away some and bit my cheek not sure how to respond. I glanced at the windshield again thinking maybe I should open a part of myself up to him.

“When a female goes into heat… she usually goes for the first male that finds her. Sometimes they may fight when they first look upon each other, other times they become one immediately. We do not care about what we look like in human forms. Even if that male has children with other females, he still belongs to her. We… mate for life. Like my parents. Like your imprints.” I informed lowly. I could feel Paul looking at me, eyes deep and curious.

“Are you trying to tell me what to expect for our future?” he asked. What was I trying to tell him exactly? Am I letting him know what’s going to happen when the day comes that I go into heat? In some ways, yes. But I am telling him the realities from my mother’s teachings. I looked at him now with confident eyes.

“I am trying to tell you that if you can smell me and find me when that time comes… you can have me.” I stated. I could feel his body tense and his scent changed. It was the same odor from when I met him the first time in our human forms. He was also this tense. The smell is somewhat similar to my parents when they mate. Arousal. I had never smelled such a strong scent, and I have lived long enough to know a strong scent in a lion. But in his scent, it was different. Muskier. It wasn’t disgusting or horrible like I always thought wolves would smell. It was natural and once more I found myself drawn to it. Paul finally looked away and cleared his throat, and we were silent for the rest of the drive. The rain came down a little faster and it made me a bit more exciting to see these sightings he wanted to show me.

“I am excited.” I replied, and Paul and I looked at each other. He seemed a bit caught off guard by this and so I nodded in the direction of the windshield. “To see these things, you want me to see.” He nodded smiling wide as he looked ahead, the truck slowing down.

“Good. Because we are here.” he said putting the truck in park and cutting off the engine. He then looked embarrassed as he looked at me, his eyes looking over me. “We’re going to have to hike a bit. I’m sorry I don’t want your outfit to get dirty or your shoes…” I shook my head pulling my shirt over my body to reveal the black tank beneath it. I then leaned over and began to remove my wedges. I then looked back at Paul and smiled.

“I am ready.” I said and began to get out of the truck.

“Really? I mean you aren’t going to find it a turn off that you may get sweaty or your feet getting dirty?” he asked. I closed my door laughing dryly.

“You think too much of me, Paul.” I said as we began to meet in the front of the truck, the front lights illuminating our body. The rain had lightened up but didn’t stop completely. “Just because my family has money, and we dress in expensive clothes does not mean we do not like to get dirty.” He smiled as if impressed.

“Well then in that case…” he said and began to lean over and I tilted my head watching as he just removed his black tennis shoes with ease. He threw them right over his truck and my eyes followed the pair as they landed in the back of his truck. I looked back at him surprised and he just shrugged as he held out his hand to me.

“Are you ready?” he asked. I looked down at his large hand and was hesitant for a second before looking up at him and he could see my hesitant, but he was not upset or hurt. What we were doing together, was just not heard of in my pride. But maybe it should start with someone. I lifted my hand placed it in his and he smiled more and turned and began to lead me right into the damp and mucky grass. There was no trail to show us the way. I was relying strictly on Paul and his senses.

My toes were damp and slimy and it did not bother me even after the shower and lotioning I did to make them smooth. Paul’s hands never left mine either as we both moved higher into the dark mountains of the forest.

“Do many people hike here?” I asked.

“Oh yeah. Thrill seekers love getting lost here. I tried once, but my sense of smell and instincts wouldn’t allow me to get lost. I heard a loud cawing above me. A crow most likely.

“Getting lost is a thrill to humans?” I asked and he looked back at me, our bodies invisible to the human eye, but I knew we could see each other.

“Oh yeah. Some of us like to go soul searching here. It’s peaceful.” he said. I nodded as I looked at the ground to make sure I didn’t step on any sharp rocks or sticks.

“Aren’t you worried of predators stalking you?” I asked. He snorted sarcastically.

“We’re the predators.” he reminded and I nodded in agreement.

“True.” I replied. My hair was damp now and I was starting to sweat, but so was Paul, so I didn’t feel too bad. The cool rain dripped on us and I noticed steam moving and disappearing into the air. It would make sense, his hand if anything was the main reason for my sweating. But he had a firm grip on my hand. It was locked and I knew he wasn’t letting go of my hand unless I asked him to. So why haven’t I asked him to? I can easily walk beside him, keep up with him if he continues in either form. I don’t know, I guess I felt protected with his hand in mine. It was like my father who used to hold my hand as a sign of protection when we were in Africa.

Humans still kidnapped young girls for human trafficking and sexual slavery. But with my father beside me, no one would even think to try anything and if they tried it would be with guns. Dad took special offense to that. I found myself smiling at our locked hands and quickly looked away to force my lips to curve back into place. Finally, we were on flat ground now and Paul stopped and looked at the sky now, closing his eyes and inhaling. Water dripped down from his hair and over his forehead smoothly running over his nose and chin and down his neck and so on and so forth.

“We’re here.” he said and I looked around noting the sounds of birds and insects all over. The trees are large and plump and filled with branches some weak, others thick. A lot of the branches merged into the branches of other trees and I wondered if we were careful could we walk across them. Paul led me over to a tree with some branches that were high off the ground. A human couldn’t jump it but we could. “Ladies first.” I looked up at him mildly intimidated by the tree high only for the silly thought that I could miss and fall.

“Don’t worry I’ll be right behind you.” he said. I was mildly confused.

“What are we supposed to do when we get to the top?” I asked. He shrugged smirking.

“Guess we’ll figure that out when we get up there.” he said and I tilted my head thinking I liked the fact there was no plan. I nodded and began to back up and he watched with curiosity as I got some distance. I locked my eyes on the tree branch I wanted and without much thought, I ran fast for the tree and crouched when I was close to the tree and jumped, my toes and fingers curling on the trunk and my body just pushed up grabbing onto the thick branch I had my eyes locked on. I looked down to see Paul right behind me, jumping off branches and moving high up to me. I smiled as he took hold of the branch I had grabbed onto and just dangled one handed.

“Gotta get to the top!” he exclaimed and pulled his body up and jumped off that branch and just headed higher up. I smiled happy he could keep up. I pulled myself over the branch to where I was standing and immediately crouched and pushed up grabbing ahold of another branch and followed Paul to the top of the tree. There were a few branches above us. But the sky was as clear as ever, the stars finally finding their way through the clouds. We were still covered by a few branches as I didn’t assume we would stand at the very top. Now we were both standing on the same sturdy branch facing each other. I was still and steady feeling the rain drip off the leaves and fall onto my face. Paul was close to the base of the tree and I stood in front of him looking around for a moment. It was quiet and we held on to the branch above us and now I looked around.

“What now?” I asked. Paul just smiled and closed his eyes.

“Close your eyes. Listen.” he said and I just looked his face over. He looked calm and content. I moved closer to him so I wouldn’t fall, but I closed my eyes and looked up as he did. I could hear the gentle wind hitting our face. The cool water sliding down my body right over my spine causing me to shiver some. I felt the branches against my fingernails. I heard a small bird chirping and it echoed in my mind for a bit. I then heard multiple chirping. It’s babies.

“Open your eyes.” Paul said and I opened them and the second I did, I saw the moon staring down at us and I was stunned at how close it felt. It was big and vibrant and as I looked around I could see the trees were brought to light by the moon. I could see nests all over the different trees with beautiful colored birds nesting in them. I looked up at my fingers, feeling something crawling over my knuckles and it was a green caterpillar. Its color was rich and beautiful eve for a creature so small. The rain picked up a bit, but feeling its cool refreshing beads moving down my body made me smile. I felt so at ease.

I looked around some more to see all the small and tiny creatures that lived in the trees around us. Two squirrels chased after each other jumping off of branches in a chase no one would understand except them. Everything was more alive, vibrant. I felt tamed at this moment.

“The moon reveals the beauty of everything here.” I said looking up at Paul who smiled. His eyes were a deep grey, not their usual brown hues. I was stunned that he had the abilities to change the forms of his eyes. But then again there was much I did not know about the wolves and what they could do. I could only see this change due to my own eyes changing to their lioness orbs of deep and rich yellow.

I noticed his eyes were also intently staring down at my face. I could see the yellow tint of my eyes in his, we were that close, staring at each other.

“Your beauty was revealed to me the very night I met you.” he said lowly and I just tensed lightly as I knew what was going to happen and his face leaning into me verified it. I had never kissed a wolf before… but tonight he was not a wolf. He is a man. I feel my face leaning to meet his. For a split second however I pause and he sees this and pauses as well, our lips inches from each other.

“I’m afraid if I do this… it’ll be out of curiosity I want to explore.” I replied truthfully. I wanted him to know that what I felt, that I wanted to experience this feeling inside me.

“It’s okay, we can be curious together.” he replied lowly and raggedly, and we both stared into our eyes, the eyes of two different species divided, meant to never be so close. Would either of us pull back? Would I pull back? However, he whispers something heatedly against me, and it makes my body shiver.

“Kwop kilawtley.” he whispers. I do not know what it means, but it was enough for me and we finally lean in, inhaling each other’s scents as our lips collide.

His lips are hot as I feel the heat pulse through my body and completely overtake the cool rain. I feel my arms slowly start to leave the branch above me and his arms follow my actions and slowly lock around my waist as my arms lock around his neck.

Normal POV

Micah and Leonardo observed the six men who were moving off their bikes. Leon opened the door letting his wife lead out onto the front porch. Now all four of the lions stared down at the large Indian who got off his bike. The air was thick from tension and moist from the upcoming rain that was about to hit.

Zena stared down at the large human who began to move toward the porch.

“Good evening.” Chayton replied with a venomous smirk on his face. Zena watched calmly.

“Silly little Indian boys should no better than to walk onto black people’s territory. Don’t you know that can get you shot?” she purred humorously. The six men laughed and Chayton just shrugged.

“I mean no disrespect, but it seems justice needs to be served tonight.” he said. Zena just stared at him for a moment, unamused already.

“I’m listening.” she replied. Chayton just looked behind her and all over the front of the house.

“Your daughter, Vitanja,” he said bitterly, “attacked my sister. She’s been bullying her at school ever since your little family moved to our reservation. So now it’s time for payback. But don’t worry, we don’t plan to hurt her too badly.” Micah and Leonardo looked at their mother in unison who just continued to stare at the large biker, her face unreadable. Leon looked over at his wife as well, all four calm and collective as if the threat on their family meant little to them. Finally, Zena just nodded, inhaling and exhaling.

“Well, I can’t stand a bully and our family are firm believers in “an eye for an eye”. So you may have your pound of flesh if you stick to your promise that you will not hurt my daughter too badly.” she said innocently, voice filled with understanding. Chayton observed Zena’s face thinking it was too easy that a family would just give up their child like that. He knew there was a chance his boys would beat and rape the girl. As he took a step, a dangerous step, closer to the porch, Zena raised her head.

“But she is not here. She is in town on a little date.” she announced. “You should be able to find her.” Chayton looked around at the three males and heard they had moved with a lot of other people. Trying to take them on wouldn’t get them the justice he felt he deserved. However, he just nodded.

“Shouldn’t be too hard to find them. Let’s ride boys.” he commanded. Zena watched the humans mount their bikes, and began to back out and turn and ride off into the darkness. Zena just stared out into the distance her animal eyes seeing them. Without saying anything else she just turned and looked at her husband. Leon’s face was dark and still as his eyes began to fade out into their gold hues. Zena just turned and opened the door moving back inside the house, as her mate and sons began to tear at their flesh and rip from their clothes. Three large forms of gold rush into the darkness of the forest.

Author’s Notes

Okay so for the Kwop kilawtley. I did research and saw a lot of different ways to spell this and that there was a little word war on if Jacob said “Stay with me forever” or “I love you”. Anyways, I’m sticking with this spelling and the “Stay with me forever” phrase, just a heads up.

Imprint: When the Moon loved the Sun - Ch. 47 (Twilight)

The entire room was smothered in the scent of blood. Paul was on his feet in seconds.

“VITANJA WHAT’S GOING… OH JESUS!” He screamed after he pulled the blankets off. My legs were definitely slipper and wet from blood.

“He’s coming Paul and he changed inside me!” I screamed louder now as my stomach began to shift and expand and with it, the pain shot all over my body. I was full distress. My organs felt like they were on fire as I shook my head sweat pooling down my face and chest.

“I’m gonna get help!” he said and he was gone which alarmed me even more.

“No do not go!” I cried out in pain as I raised my hand to his back. Pain further shot through my arm as I quickly placed it down crying out more in pain. How was this possible? How could such a small creature bring me such pain? Maybe my mother thought the same thing. I wander how she handled this pain. I was sure I was not done by C-section. No my mother would not have her body altered to bring me into the world. No, she bore me raw just like the twins. And that was what I would have to do.

"You came out of me a bloody golden ball of fur and claws. You nearly tore me in half coming out. I bled for hours. And they handed you to me and the second I brought you to my chest, your hairs fell away revealing the beautiful melanin underneath. You cried and screamed, but you were alive.”

I closed my eyes at the thought my baby clawing its way out of me and I couldn’t handle that. This was my first child, it was not supposed to be this hard. I shouldn’t feel like I wanted to die. And even through all this pain, I still couldn’t tell the scent of the form inside me. It was so foreign. A harsh howl could be heard above me through the pain as I was sure it was Paul howling for his pack. Tears flowed down my cheeks as I felt a sudden sharp burst of pain from my side. I screamed louder as that sharp pain kept coming.

“PAUL!” I screamed out. In seconds Paul was running back in naked, with dusts of snow falling off him.

“I’M HERE! Everyone’s coming- oh god!” he exclaimed in utter terror. I could feel more blood pouring from me. Thank god I was not wearing any panties. He took my hands immediately. “Tell me what to do, baby! I don’t know what to do!” I panted heavily and harshly curling my fingers into his, the pain growing from the mere action.

“I just have to push.” I panted heavily and he nodded tears in his eyes.

“Okay. Just push.” he said and I inhaled and looked down at the blood-soaked sheets and tried to push, but I didn’t even manage to push for two seconds before more pain was devouring me. I yelled out in pain and shook my head.

“I can’t do it! I can’t do it!” I cried out looking at him. I was so hot. “I’m so hot, Paul. It’s too hot!” He nodded standing up.

“I’m going to go get something cold for you okay!” he said and I nodded watching him run out as fast as he could.

Normal POV

Paul flew down the hall and jumped right off the first step and landed on the ground. He left the front door cracked so the others would just come in. He had never been so stressed and afraid in his life other than when Vitanja was in danger. He couldn’t think and he could hardly breath from the raw panic he was feeling. The door swung open and the living room filled with wolves.

“What’s going on!” Sam asked. Leah and Emily were already rushing upstairs.

“Vitanja!” Leah called.

 Paul shook his head as he ran to the fridge and got a cold ice pack from the freezer.

“The baby changed inside her, she’s in labor and in danger I don’t know what to do!” he yelled running past them all and rushing upstairs. Paul came in to Emily pushing the blankets off the bed and Leah at the head of their bed holding Vitanja’s hand. Her entire body was soaked in sweat and her bottom half covered in blood. Paul ran over and placed the ice pack on her forehead. Steam rose heavily from the pack and it melted. Leah shook her head.

“This isn’t a normal shifter temperature!” she exclaimed.

“Maybe this is normal for her kind!” Emily said running from the bathroom with towels. “Sam I need a bowl of water stat!”

“No. The baby turned inside me it’s claws are killing me!” Vitanja screamed and this elevated Paul’s fear.

“What do we do! What do we do!” he said in panic. Leah looked at Paul.

“Get another bowl of water now!” she demanded and Paul moved within seconds back down the hall, down the stairs and into the kitchen. Jake and the rest of the pack were just standing there now knowing what to do.

“We need to get a doctor here!” Jared said swiftly.

“No doctor can handle this! Paul where are your bowls?” Sam said as Paul rushed over to the cabinet and grabbed two large bowls.

“We need to call Carlisle he can help!” Jake said and immediately Paul stopped and looked at him with a ferocious glare.

“None of those fucking leeches are coming into this home right now!” he said. He remembered all too well, the looks on the Cullen’s faces when the lionesses had had their babies. They were fighting their urges to go toward the scent of their blood. There was no way in hell he was letting any of them come into his house with such panic going on.

“Paul’s right, Jake. We don’t know how he will act once he smells V’s blood.” Sam said swiftly as he cut the sink off.

“What about Ness? She’s only half, she’s learned some medical training she can help.” Jake exclaimed quickly and Paul moved over toward him with a bowl of water in his hands, his eyes were dark and dangerous.

“Any leech that steps foot in this house will not leave here alive.” he threatened. Jake glared at him, his body shaking at the threat. Sam however called Paul away with his bowl of water and the two hurried upstairs upon hearing Vitanja scream. Embry placed his hands in his hair in stress as Jared moved over to place a comforting hand on Jake’s shoulder.

“That’s just his wolf talking Jake.” he said and Jake nodded finally calming down.

“I know.” he said. Seth was pacing back and forth, never before being in a situation like this.

“Shouldn’t we do something?” he asked. Jake glanced from him and toward the darkness of the stairs.

“We just gotta wait.” he said.

It had now been forty five minutes, and Vitanja still could not push, and Paul could feel the stress of her body radiating off her. He was walking up and down the hall now as he was having trouble controlling his emotions. Emily was worried he’d shift right out in the room so she told Sam to take him out. Paul’s mind was everywhere as he was afraid of what could happen tonight.

“Paul, everything will be fine.” Sam said lowly and Paul shook his head.

“What if something happens Sam? What if she doesn’t make it, what if Malakai doesn’t make it. I can’t lose them Sam I just can’t.” he said finally breaking down and sobbing. Sam immediately pulled him into a tight hug, his eyes lightly swelling with tears. He didn’t know the extent of his words, no one had ever been in this situation before.

“They’re both going to make it.” he said in his ear. “They will make it!”

Vitanja’s POV

I very thankful for everyone who was around guiding me through this. When I heard Leah’s voice of terror and her body storming through the door, I knew everything would be okay. Paul got us help. But the pain was increasing and no matter how much water they put on me, it evaporated and was replaced by heat.

“Vitanja can you push now?” Emily asked. I tried only to be met with such raw pain I shook my head.

“I can’t. I can’t do it!” I cried out.

“She’s on fire.” Leah said after touching my forehead and waving her hand a bit to cool it down. I was panting harder as I rested my head on my now drenched pillow. I was feeling weak, my body couldn’t handle this. As I opened my eyes and looked up to the window above our bed, I realized the snow was falling. Not hard, like before we went to bed, but still falling. This was an idea I had to try. I swallowed some and looked up at Emily.

“Emily,” I panted, “Is there snow on the ground outside?”

She looked at me with tears on her eyes and she nodded with a smile.

“Yeah, honey, there’s lots of snow on the ground.” I nodded and looked at Leah.

“Get me on my feet now.” I said. Her eyes popped.

“Are you crazy!” she asked and I shook my head

“I have to go outside.” I panted and the two cousins looked at each other before nodding. They didn’t bother giving me a quick speech of being exposed to hypothermia. Instead Leah placed my arm around hers and gently began to pull me from the bed. I cried out for the movement alone brought pain. Emily came around to the other side of me and placed my arm over her shoulder. My legs felt like jelly, but I would not let them carry me. I forced my legs to move and the three of us began to move from the room. Sam and Paul came into view, and Paul looked hysterical now as he saw us.

“What are you doing with her!” he snapped.

“Help us get her outside!” Leah said. Both men looked completely stunned and stuck in place.

“NOW SAM!” Emily snapped as she was having difficulty holding me up. That brought the alpha’s feet over to us. He moved over to his wife and switched places with her and Paul moved over to Leah to do the same. With their strength they were able to move me a bit quicker down the hall. The smell of blood was everywhere and my eyes flickered heavily at how hot it was.

“What are we doing, baby?” Paul asked and I looked at him.

“I can’t push on my back. I need to stand and do this.” I said softly and he nodded, eyes weak and tired from stress.

“Okay.” he said and they helped me down stairs. Jake and the rest were standing there in the living room and they looked stunned when they saw me. Leah ran over and got the door and opened it. Once I felt the piercing cold air against my flesh I felt some relief. I sighed happily at the feeling.

“Carry me over there.” I motioned towards the closest tree. I finally moved over to grab the tree trunk. Sam finally moved from me.

“We’re going to shift and form a circle around the house in case any vampires show up. No one’s going to get to her.” he said and we both nodded as the moved back to the house. My legs were weak, but Paul helped me squat just low enough to the snow. I could feel the cold ground on my thighs and vagina I was so low. Oddly enough, I felt more relief being in this position. I was panting some and looked at Paul who just stuck to my side.

“You okay, baby?” he asked and I nodded swiftly.

“I feel better.” I said and he smiled at this taking my face in his hands.

“I love you.” he said and I smiled back sniffling some.

“I love you too.” I said and looked back at the tree. I could feel my organs start to drop back into place now and I felt pressure forming. I wasn’t burning hot and I wasn’t freezing cold. I was just right. I closed my eyes and thought of nothing but Malakai now. Okay baby boy. Let’s do this. I took a few even breaths, gripping the trunk hard and started to push. There was pain, but my muscles did not give out this time. I groaned hard, my head falling back as I yelled to the light blue sky. The sun was coming. I smelled Sam and the pack as the wolves ran past to perimeter around the house.

I suddenly felt my stomach shrink a bit and I looked down at the pool of blood in the snow. Paul looked around me and then up at me.

“What is it?” he asked. I continued panting as I looked at him.

“He changed back.” I replied and he smiled happily and nodded.

“Thank god.” he said and I looked back at the tree once more, feeling Paul’s hands massage my shoulders. I took a few more breaths, prepared myself, squatted even lower and just pushed once more. I thought my body was going to explode and I just cried harder as I just kept pushing and pushing. I stopped and took a few breaths and pushed again, holding the bark harder and tighter. I feel Paul’s body against mine as he just holds me some so I don’t fall completely down. I feel myself crowning and after one more push, I feel something drop from me. I opened my eyes and quickly leaned down and scooped up the bloody orb on the ground. The quiet forest is now filled with loud screams and wails. I hold him close to my body so he feels my body heat.

My legs give out and I fall back, but Paul catches me and we both sit down into snow and just stare down at the purple being in my hands. He continues to cry and I feel Paul’s chin on my shoulder as he looks down at him. We both stare at him as he cries some more. Both our body heat surrounds him and he’s just as hot. I gently caress his bald head and I lean over and lick all over his body. Every inch is cleaned by my tongue. It was also a way of bonding so that he would recognize my scent as his own.

“Is he okay?” Paul asks worriedly. Only I could know that. I bite his umbilical cord off with my teeth and look him over for a few more seconds before looking over at Paul.

“He’s perfect.” I whispered, and Paul just sighs heavily and nuzzles his forehead against mine. Emily stands in the door way and watches with a smile.

“I changed your sheets so you guys can come back to a clean bed.” she called out gently and Paul and I both smile, very thankful for that.

“Let’s get you both inside.” he said and I nodded as he helped me get to my feet.

8 am

I stared at Malakai as he suckled as my breast, eyes closed and content over his face. Paul was sitting up in bed with me and we just stared at him together. He was small, but he would grow just fine with my milk. He was already a light russet tone to his body and black straight hair. I purred in utter happiness as I watched as Paul’s hand come up and gently rest on Malakai’s head.

“He’s so small and fragile.” he said and I nodded.

“Yes. Soon he will be strong like his father.” I replied gently looking at him and Paul just smiled and gently nuzzled onto my shoulder.

“I’m just glad you are both safe and okay.” he said and I nodded gently.

“He gave us both quite a scare.” I replied. There was silence between us for a moment as he just examined his baby.

“What do you think he changed into when inside you?” he asked softly and I shook my head.

“I do not know. I couldn’t identify his smell. Maybe that means he turned into a wolf.” I said and Paul leaned down to smell the top of Malakai’s head.

“He has that new baby smell.” he said with a grin and I smiled watching Paul just place his forehead gently on him. Kai slowly moved his lips from my nipple and just gently turned his head to look up at who was touching him. Paul pulled back to look down at him and Kai just stared up at him with deep brown eyes and Paul just looked lost in them.

“Welcome to the world my son.” he said before gently moving to take him from my hold of which I let him. He cradled the baby in his arms and just stared him with tearful eyes.

“You’re my son. My little wolf cub.” he said, and Kai just cooed lightly looking up and around at the world around him. I just smiled at the two happy everything was okay. There was a gentle bark coming from outside and we knew Sam and the pack were back. A gentle knock on my door alerted us and we saw Emily peaking her head in.

“Hey you guys okay?” she asked and we both nodded. “Sam and the others are back… if you want them to come back later just say the word.” Paul was gently rocking Kai when he looked at me with questioning eyes as if wanting to know what I wanted. By now by body had healed from the stress of child birth and my legs had regained their strength.

“Come on.” I said and Paul’s eyes sparkled as he nodded and moved from the bed. I slid on a white gown and robe, then took Kai so Paul could get dressed. While he dressed, I placed Kai in a small onesie I had bought for him. I even let Emily hold him and she was completely in love.

“I at least want to get this out of the way before Leah comes and completely take over her godmother duties.” she teased. I giggled at the thought and nodded as she handed Kai back to me.

“Most definitely.” I replied.

“Want me to let everyone in?” she asked and I nodded.

“Please?” I asked and she nodded.

“Of course.” she said patting my shoulder and moving back down the hall. I looked at Kai for a second and he was already asleep again. Paul moved back over to me and smiled down at me before giving me a gentle kiss before nuzzling my head.

“I love you.” he said and I smiled.

“And I love you.” I replied and gently moved Kai into his arms. “I figured you’d want to present him to your pack. When my pride returns, I’ll present him to them.” He nodded eyes staring back down at Kai before slowly moving into the hall. I followed.

“Come on, bud, let’s go meet your pack.” he said.

Taglist!
