Chapter 40: Hard Life

Leah's POV 

Tick-tock. Tick-tock. Tick-tock. 

The sound of the clock was the only thing I could hear clearly right now. Jacob was injured because of that stinking leech lover and now there was something up with Gabriella. Embry and Paul had ran out as soon as the call ended and we hadn't heard from them since they left half an hour ago. 

What was going on? 

Suddenly a loud and painful sounding howl rang through the night air. 

I stood up immediately. Jared and Kim were staring at me. I scoffed. Wow, they actually took a break from chewing each others faces off. 

"I'm going to see what's up." I said and ran out the door. I jogged to the tree line and hid behind a tree to take my clothes off. If I ripped up another outfit, mom was sure to kill me. And I was a wolf mind you. 

I wrapped up the shirt and shorts around my ankle quickly before phasing. As soon as I phased, my legs collapsed and I hit the ground. I howled in pain. 

My head was throbbing and my legs felt weak. I whimpered lowly. 

"What's happening?" I asked. 

"Someone took Gab." Seth answered. 

"Ethan." Embry gritted out through his teeth. He looked furious. 

I lay there on my paws in shock. Ethan. The last time I saw him, we were chasing him through the forest. He had jumped across the treaty line though, safely making it across onto Cullen land. I was relieved by that fact and the pack resented me for it. Especially Embry. But unlike the others, he kept quiet about it. 

"I need to look for her." Embry announced suddenly and he was about to start running but a pitch black wolf stood in his way. 

"And where are you going to start Embry? We need to find a lead so we can start." Sam argued. 

Embry scoffed at him. "So what do you expect me to do huh? Just sit here and wait until you guys find something while that fucker could be hurting Gabriella for all I know? What would you do if it was Emily, Sam? Could you stay calm?" 

Sam was silent. We knew he couldn't argue with that; none of the people that had imprinted could. What was I supposed to do with my imprint? He was too far gone and I didn't know what to do with him? Was I supposed to try and be friends with him or pursue a romantic relationship with him? Or was I destined to just see him from afar and observe what he was doing like I was some freaking stalker?

"Embry, go. Take Seth and Quil with you." Sam ordered. 

Embry looked as if a big burden had just been lifted off his shoulders. 

"Thanks Sam." he said.

"We'll keep you guys updated on what's happening around here." Sam said. 

Embry nodded before speeding off, Seth and Quil on his tail. 

Me and Sam were the only ones left behind. We stared at each other. 

"You decide what you should do about your imprint Leah." Sam said before running off. 

He made me even more confused. What was I going to do with my imprint?

Embry's POV

"Can we stop for a while? I'm hungry." Quil asked. 

"Yeah Emb, we've been running for two days straight, we should stop to get some food." Seth added.
