Twilight wolves

Paul LaHote

I have been friends with Paul for practically forever. I didn't know that being friends with him would get me to where I am now. I wouldn't change a thing though. Paul was always kind of a hot head but it got worse after he shifted. The night of his first shift was totally crazy. He shifted, hurt me, and imprinted on me all in the same night. I didn't even know he hurt me until my dad called for an ambulance. Paul's claws went all the way across my abdomen. They started at the top of my ribs on the left side and ended at the top of my right hip. Paul apologized every day for two weeks. The day I got him to stop apologizing was the day we started dating. My dad let Paul go up to my room to see me like everyday. Paul sat next to me on the bed and started to say how sorry he was but I kissed him to make him stop. I knew it wasn't his fault. After that it took me forever to convince him to take me to Emily's house. Finally after Embry shifted Paul let me go over. It was that day that I learned that Paul doesn't like anyone looking or asking about my scars. He was so mad when Embry asked what happened that Sam had to drag him outside in order to get him to calm down. After that I have spent everyday at Emily's house just like the boy's do. My dad doesn't really care because he knows about Paul. His only request is that I don't get pregnant yet.
I'm waiting with Emily. The boy's went to go get Jacob. He recently phased so they are keeping their eyes on him. I'm sitting on the counter top facing the dining table swinging my feet.
"Do you think there will be a time where we stop worrying about them?" I asked.
"I think there will be moments where we just worry about them a little less." She said.
"I'm glad we have you Emily. I don't know if I could do this on my own all the time." I said.
"It's a good thing you don't have to then." She said.
I turned and gave her a smile. She is like a mom to everyone in the pack. I know we are all grateful to have her. I heard a truck pull up and the boys howling. It's something they do to let Emily and I know they are here. Emily and I find it funny. We both laughed and I hopped down off the counter. I went to the porch but I only saw Embry and Jared. I looked to the truck and saw a girl getting out. I pulled my sweater closed so she couldn't see my scars. I silently cursed myself for wearing a crop top today but was thankful I had my sweater .
"Come on in Bella. We won't bite." Embry said.
"Speak for yourself." Jared said.
I giggled at his response. He came up to me and put a hand on my cheek and then kissed the other. Jared does this all the time. He is like the older brother I never had. Other than Paul, I am the most comfortable around Jared. I giggled again and he pulled me into the house with him. I hopped back onto the counter while Jared sat at the table. Jared looked at me and noticed my sweater. I let go of it so it could fall open. I aways get uncomfortable around new people if they can see my scars. The only time I don't is when I have Paul. Embry walked in with Bella right behind him. Emily turned around smiling but her smile fell once she saw Bella standing there.
"Who's this?" Emily asked.
"Bella Swan." Jared said. "Who else?"
Emily put muffins on the table. The boys both grabbed one. She nudged Jared on his shoulder.
"Save some for your brothers and ladies first." She said.
I giggled at the face Jared was making. He always makes a face when he gets scolded by Emily.
"Muffin?" Emily asked.
"Sure. Thanks." Bella said.
"Of course Jacob would be the one to get around Sam's gag order." Emily said.
"He didn't say anything to me." Bella said.
"That's a wolf thing. Alpha's orders get obeyed whether we want them to or not." Embry said. "Oh an check it out we can hear each others thoughts."
"Dude shut up. These are tribe secrets." Jared said. "Damn it. This chick runs with vampires."
"You can't really run with vampires cause they're fast." Bella said.
Jared smirked and leaned forward.
"Yeah well we're faster." He said. "Freaked out yet?"
"Your not the first monster's I've met." Bella said.
I glared at her and hopped off the counter. I stood right behind Jared.
"They are not monster's." I growled out.
"I didn't mean it in that way." Bella said.
I looked away from her but I was still angry. Sam walked in and kissed Emily. I smiled at the two of them. I know Emily does the same thing when Paul and I do something cute. I looked back to Bella but she was watching the door. I looked over and saw Paul and Jacob walking in while pushing each other. I laughed at the two. They never have liked each other. They only tolerate each other because of the pack. Paul gave me a quick kiss and then sat down next to Jared. I moved so I was standing behind Paul. He smirked at Bella and I knew whatever he was going to say he wasn't going to mean it.
"Sorry." Paul said.
Everyone could tell that he didn't mean it. Jacob glared at him but knew that was the best he was going to get. The only person who gets a sincere apology from Paul is me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and leaned down to put my head on his shoulder. He reached up and put one of his hands over top of mine. I am a lot more comfortable with him here. Bella walked toward Jacob and I assumed they were leaving.
"You should have come back a few minutes earlier." Jared said.
"Why?" Paul asked.
"I thought Kim and Bella were about to get in a fight." Jared said.
"Kim would never do that here." Emily said.
"Of course not." I said. "I would have dragged her outside first."
Paul looked over at me with a questioning look. I know he is trying to ask what happened without actually asking.
"She called you guys monster's. I made sure she knew that you aren't. She was more in the wrong than me." I said.
Paul chuckled and shook his head. I smiled down and then looked over at Sam.
"Do you mind if I steal Paul for a few hours?" I asked.
Jared oh'ed and Paul hit him on his arm. Sam laughed at the two. Even though they act like brother's they can be very mean to each other.
"You can have him. He's caused enough problems for me today." Sam said.
"Great." I said.
I smiled and stood up straighter. Paul stood up and we walked out of the house. He was holding my hand.
"Where are we going?" He asked.
"The beach." I said.
I let go of his hand and started skipping ahead. I heard him chuckle but I just kept going.
I beat Paul to the beach. I know that if he wanted to he could have caught me so easily. I sat down on the sand by the water and it was only a second before he was sitting next to me. I pulled my knees up so I could rest my head on them. I looked over at him and waited for him to say something.
"Are you going to make me ask?" I asked.
"Jacob and I got into a fight." He said.
"I thought the two of you were past all of that." I said.
"We were. Bella came up and pushed Sam and then she slapped me. You weren't there to calm me so I phased." He said.
I leaned over and started peppering his cheek with kisses. I wasn't sure of which one she hit but I was guessing it was his left.
"Why was Jacob mad? What did he expect to happen after she hit you?" I asked.
"He was just mad because I was the one that phased in front of her." He said.
"Maybe she shouldn't go around hitting people." I said.
He laughed and I gave him one last kiss. I got up and walked closer to the water. I could feel him watching me. At first it used to creep me out but it doesn't anymore. Once you know Paul he is completely different. He can be a hothead but he is also very sweet. I looked back at him. He was still in the same spot. I could tell that he was thinking seriously about something. My smile fell as I looked at him.
"Paul." I yelled.
He looked up at me. I gave him a small smile. He stood up and came over to me. He picked me up and swung me around. I laughed the whole time he spun me around.
"What are you doing?" I asked.
"I wanted to hear you laugh." He said.
"Are you ok?" I asked.
"I was just thinking." He said.
"What about?" I asked.
"The situation Jake is in with Bella." He said.
"What about it?" I asked.
"He's in love with a girl who is in love with a vampire. That has to be hard on him." He said.
"Why are you thinking about that?" I asked.
"I'm trying to be more understanding but I just can't. I mean she chose the blood sucker. He should let it go." He said.
"I wouldn't if you chose someone else." I said.
"I could never choose someone else." He said.
"Would you let me go if I chose someone else?" I asked.
I saw his face fall at just the thought of me leaving. He shook his head and I could tell that was my answer.
"It's different with us." He said.
"You imprinted on me. I didn't imprint on you. I'm with you because I love you. He loves Bella." I said.
"That will change for him." He said.
"Maybe but for now he loves her." I said.
He took a deep breath and I could see that he was starting to understand a little bit better.
"Just give him some time. He will imprint on someone eventually and forget all about Bella." I said.
"I guess your right." He said.
"I always am." I said.
He raised an eyebrow at me and I laughed.
"Oh really?" He asked.
"Yes and you have to agree because you love me." I said.
"Well your right about that. I do love you." He said.
I gave him a big smile. He leaned down and kissed me. I still haven't gotten used to the feeling of kissing Paul. Most people would describe it as butterflies in my stomach but I don't think that describes it enough. It always feels as if there is just more than just butterflies. I know I said I could leave Paul if I wanted to but I am never going to want to leave him. Paul has always been my safe space. He makes me happy when I'm sad. I know that there is never going to be another person that makes me feel the way I do when I'm with Paul. To Paul there is nothing I could do to make him not love me anymore and I could say the same about him. I love him and I probably always will. Even before he turned into a wolf and imprinted on me I felt that way about him. I know he probably didn't feel the same way before but I know a part of him had to. He can deny it all he wants but I know the truth. Even the guys know the truth because they can hear his thoughts and Jared has no problem voicing those thoughts for Paul. Even though it make's Paul angry. I think Jared just does it to make Paul angry so he can make comments about how easily I can calm him. That's how I know I will love him forever even if he did find a way to stop loving me. I would never stop loving him no matter how bad I would want to. It would never be possible and I would never want this feeling to ever go away.
