I'd Lie:Book One/Paul Lahote (COMPLETE)

Chapter Seven: Enchanted

Jake stopped the car at Sam's and Sam ran outside. He picked me up bridal style and rushed me inside and upstairs, laying me on their bed. I just kept shaking and I couldn't stop.

"Emily, call Paul!" Sam yelled.

"What did he do?" He said to Jake.

"He was kissing some new girl Nova told off this morning." Emily ran upstairs and put cold, wet rags all over my body. I groaned in pain, like my body was trying to hold something in. Paul ran into the room then.

"Get him out of here!" I screamed. Jake stood protectively in front of the bed. Paul looked at Sam, who nodded. Paul sat on the bed next to me.

"Nova, I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I wasn't kissing her back. I swear." He put his hands on my arms and I started to calm down.

Then I smelled it. That sickly sweet smell. I had noticed it at the Cullen's house and I smelled it now.

"Jake! Get her outside, now! A leech is nearby." Sam shouted. Paul and Jacob carried me outside and behind the house. They set me on the ground. I shook and convulsed. They just stood there. Suddenly, I heard a violent ripping sound and I screamed.
Then it was all quiet... When I opened my eyes, I was higher off the ground. I looked down to see white furry paws instead of feet. I whimpered. Paul came toward me and I didn't even have the energy to snap at him.

This is it. I had phased. That means.... I looked at Leah and she had a pained look on her face. Oh, no... A tear slipped from her eye. And I knew. The only reason there was one-now two girls-in the pack and the only reason a female could phase, is because if they do, that means they aren't able to produce children.

And they all knew this. They looked at me and they were sad. I lay on the ground and put my big head under my paws. I cried, and Paul sat in front of me, his head on mine, and cried too.

I never thought I would see Paul Lahote cry. Then Leah was next to me, then Jake, and Emily. Eventually the whole pack was there comforting me. It didn't just hurt Paul when I hurt. It hurt the whole pack...
*********
I stayed in my room for days. I turned my phone off, got an excuse from Dr. Cullen for school, and I did the work Jake brought home for me. I didn't want to move or talk to anyone. I had always been older than my age. Mom had always told me that. And I had always wanted a baby. Now I would never have one...
********
A week into my stupor, I was in my room and someone knocked on the door. I sighed and they came in. It was Paul. He sat in a chair by the edge of the bed where I was.

"Nova..." He reached out to touch my arms. I flinched.

"Paul, I'm sorry."

"Why the hell are you sorry?!" He sounded surprised. He pulled me on to his lap and hugged me. I let the tears flow.

"The point of imprinting is to keep the blood line going... I'll never be able to give you a child." I sobbed into my hands and he stroked my hair.

"Nova, no. That's not your fault. And don't you ever think that. I don't need kids. The other guys will imprint and have plenty. That'll be enough. They can keep the line alive without any contribution from me!" He laughed and I smiled.

"I'm sorry for Serena. I didn't want her to do any of that. I'm trying to have a chance with you." I turned around to face him and I looked into his eyes. He was sincere.

"I'm sorry I overreacted, Paul. I just couldn't handle seeing her...with you. It was too much. I can't believe I'm a wolf..."

"Makes sense. You're from the Black line, same as Jake. There was something about your wolf though..." He shifted uncomfortably.

"What do you mean?"

"You're silver with white streaks and white paws..." He furrowed his eyebrows.

That evening, after Paul left for patrol, I got up and dressed in a long sleeve blue PINK shirt and jeans. I pulled my hair up in a messy ponytail and jogged to the front door. No one was here... Hm, weird. It was sunny outside so I slipped into my flip flops. I stood on the porch and dialed Leah's number.

"Hey, can you meet me in fifteen at the beach?" She agreed and I headed out.

When I got to the spot, she was already there. I sat next to her and she smiled.

"So, how have you been, Nova? No one's seen or heard from you since you phased..."

"I've been keeping to myself. Trying to feel better." She nodded in understanding.

"We're never having kids, Nova." She finally let the cat out of the bag. Or the dog, I guess. I could see the pain in her face and I hugged her.

"It's gonna be okay."

A/N: btw, it does loosely mention that in the book, the reason Leah is the only female wolf is because she can't reproduce and won't imprint.
