Paul Lahote | Injured

being around the pack a lot, you had grown super close with everyone, including seth, who you found a great friendship with. he reminded you of yourself when you were his age, so you took him under his wing.

though you weren't a wolf, you helped him with the awkward stages of being a regular, human teen while your boyfriend helped him more with the wolf side of things. though this came with a price.

seth had the hardest time, out of anyone in the pack, controlling himself during phases. if he gets angry for even the slightest thing, he can't help but shift and run into the woods to cool off.

sam said this was normal, seeing as he was pretty young and would most likely have the most problems out of anyone. but he pushed through it.

one night, you and the pack were having a bonfire at jacob's house, just to relax and enjoy the nice weather. seth was late, since he had a date with a girl he had a crush on at school. you were so happy for him, but things didn't turn out so well.

"seth! how'd it go?!" you ask the boy as he comes walking towards the pack. he had a stone-cold expression on his face, anger brewing in his eyes.

"she apparently doesn't like me like i like her," he says sadly.

"oh seth, i'm sorry," you coo, going in for a hug. but before you can wrap your arms around him, he pushes you away.

"stay back, i can't control myself," he huffs. the pack senses something is wrong and runs over to you. paul's arms wrap around your waist to pull you back.

"seth, breathe," jacob instructs. this makes it worse, as his breathing becomes more ragged, the anger bubbling up inside of him. finally, it gets too much and he explodes, his body convulsing and turning into a full wolf.

your eyes widen and you back up a little, not too scared or worried, but shocked at how everything happened so fast.

"(y/n), get back," sam says. "he's focused in on you."

"why?"

"you're right in front of him, and he's channeling his anger towards you, since you told him to go for it with sally," he continues. you shake your head and step back a little paul and embry stand prepared to tackle him, if possible.

before anyone can register what's happening. seth knocks you to the ground, knocking the wind out of you, and jumps over you, his back paws scratching your face a little. he runs off into the woods, jacob and sam following him after phasing.

"shit, babe," paul immediately helps you stand, but you are very weak. him and quil help you inside to the guest room.

paul stays by your side, cleaning the small cut above your eyebrow that was somehow the only mark you walked away with.

"do you wanna go home or should we stay here for the night?" paul asks worriedly.

"let's go home. i kinda don't want to deal with everyone bombarding me with questions, or having to see seth right now."

paul carefully helps you into his car, bidding a goodbye to the small group still around the fire, talking about what happened. when you arrived at his house, he gently helps you into bed, where you rest for the remainder of the night.

"do you want me to get you heat or ice or something?" paul asks.

"i think some ice would help." he rushes out of the room and is back within a minute, placing a cool ice pack between your shoulder blades, as you lay on your stomach.

"i'm gonna have a long talk with seth as soon as things calm down," he sighs, laying beside you.

"don't be too hard on him, paul. you know he's still trying to control it."

"i know. but no one fucks with my baby," he smiles. you giggle and snuggle under his arm that was wrapped around you, contrasting to the cool ice pack sending chills through your body.

"i'm not too hurt, don't be hard on him," you repeat.

"i'll try for you, babe."
