Paul Lahote ~ Temper

Includes: No Warnings

________________________________________________________________________________

Having a werewolf as your boyfriend has it's pros but a lot of cons. So much so that I've considered leaving, but before I can be impulsive enough to pack my bags and leave Forks, my boyfriend, Paul, convinces me to stay. Paul was always hot-headed and had problems control his anger, but once he imprinted on me, it mellowed down to the point where it was almost none existent. Or at least for me. That was until one silly fight at school one day.

*Flashback*

As the release bell rang, everyone in my English class raced out, eager to get home and not have to worry about school work over the weekend. Like every day, I was slower than most. And unlike most, I didn't mind school. It made me feel normal compared to the rest of my life.

"Hey, beautiful," Paul whispered in my ear as I opened my locker. He wrapped his arm around my waist as I muttered a swift "hello" while packing my books into my small locker. Once they were all crammed in there, I turned around and kissed my boyfriend's cheek and led him outside to my car so we could drive over to the reservation.

We were in the middle of the courtyard when a rough shoulder slammed into mine. I stumbled and almost dropped the backpack slung around my shoulder. Paul and I looked behind us to see a buff looking boy around our age walking past us. "Hey! Watch where you're going!" Paul shouted after the guy who stopped in his tracks.

He turned around hesitantly, and that's when I realized it was just harmless Jacob Black. He was a year younger than Paul and me and was in the midst of his transformation. "Sorry, didn't see her," Jake lied.

"The hell you did!" Paul defended me, and I sighed.

"Paul, it's fine. Let's just go," I mumbled, and he shook his head, not taking his burning eyes off Jacob.

"No, no, he's treating you like you're some type of -- of dirt or something. And a kid doesn't get to treat you like that!" My boyfriend snapped, and I tried to grab his arm, but he shrugged it off. "You think you're a tough guy? Huh? Just because you're all buff and cut your hair off doesn't make you an actual wolf like me," he hissed and neared Jake with a glare.

Jake scowled at Paul and said, "don't get me upset. Things will get very ugly." I gasped when Paul grabbed Jacob by his shirt's collar and tugged him down to his level since he was slightly taller than him.

"They will get very ugly if you disrespect my girl again. Now I suggest you run along to Quill before his transition finishes and he's with Sam. If I ever see you again, Black, I will kill you," Paul threatened, which made me gulp. He's never threatened anyone to this extent before and it kind of scared me. He let go of Jake, who looked unamused.

"Ay, Paul!" Jacob called to him, and Paul whipped around. Paul was going to ask what Jake could want when Jacob's fist collided with his face. Paul stumbled less than a foot before whipping his now bloody nose and looking back up at Jake.

He started advancing towards the other tan boy when two pairs of arms held him back. Embry and Jared struggled to keep Paul contained as he tried to hit Jake back. "Walk away, Paul!" Embry yelled at my boyfriend.

"Shut up, newbie!" Paul barked and shoved Embry to the ground. Since Jared was stronger than Embry and more experienced, he was barely able to hold Paul back. I raced towards Paul, who was huffing and growling in anger.

"Y/N, get outta here!" Jared warned, not wanting the same thing that happened to Emily to happen again.

"Paul. Paul. Calm down, okay? It's okay. Shhh. Paul," I soothed and grabbed the sides of Paul's face, but he still never moved his eyes from Jacob. "Look at me," I grabbed his chin and made him look at me. His temper calmed down a little once his eyes met mine.

"It's okay. See, I'm fine. You need to calm down, okay? Jacob wants you to get mad, don't let him get that satisfaction. Calm down, Paul. Please," I pleaded, and Paul's snarls slowly went quiet as he relaxed. Once he was completely calmed down Jared, let go of him, and Jake had already fled.

I let out a sigh of relief and tugged on his hair. "I thought you had your anger under control, bubba," I muttered and saw the two other werewolves leave my boyfriend and me alone.

Paul took a deep breath and shook his head. "I guess not," he frowned.

"Come on, let's get home. We can talk about it later."
