Steve. Steve is my imprint. Not only is he my imprint but he came all this way to surprise me. I've been so scared to see him again because of everything I had done in Hydra. I didn't want him to think I was a monster. He keeps assuring me I wasn't but I was losing the battle with the voice inside my head saying other wise.
"Steve, when we get home, there's something I need to talk to you about." I say looking down at my hands nervously.
"Buck whatever it is that you need to tell me or going through, we will deal with it together okay? I'm here now. I'm not going anywhere now that I have you back." He says.
"I know I guess I just worry how you will take all the information." Steve slowly stops his truck behind Ri.
"Why are we stopping?" He asked
"Ri has to give you a bracelet to let you through her shield." We watch Ri come up to Steve's window as he rolls it's down.
"Here Steve you have to keep this on at all times in order to get in." She says looking at him when suddenly she freezes looking into his eyes.
He's the last protector imprint to our pack. There's only 5 positions and he took the last. Ri looks over at me and nods her head to confirm my suspicion. Great more information to through at him. Once we park I have Steve follow me up to my room.
"Alright, there's a lot of information that I need to tell you but I need you to be open minded about it and let me get all the way through it before you say anything okay?" He only nods his head to have me continue.
"After you got me from hydra and placed me in Wakanda, I met Ri. Do you know everything about Ri and Fenrir?" I asked.
"No just that they are Loki's kids and have magic."
"Alright, a long time ago Loki created a wolf shifter spirit gene that allows a human or Asgardian to phase into a wolf to protect peoples lives from the cold ones. The cold ones are vampires. Yeah I know, crazy shit. Anyways, he placed the gene into selected humans on Midgard to help protect humans from being a snack. He also had a pack with him in Asgard. Ri and Fen both phased into their wolves causing them to be protectors as well." I continued to tell him the story of how Loki passed away saving Ri giving her all the magic he had, both kids coming to earth to this tribe, and more. Steve was following along and understanding for the most part.
"So now here's where it gets more crazy. There are 3 types of bonds for a shifter. 1. The imprint bond where a wolf shifter looks into the eyes of a person forming a bond essentially like a soulmate. Except it's way more than that. Instead of gravity holding them to the earth it is that person. They would do anything for them, a friend, sibling, protector, or lover. Bond number 2 is a strict sibling bond where two shifters form a sibling type relation to help them along in live to have someone to call family. And bond number 3 is the protector bond. Ri created this bond when she was starting to form the Eternal pack again. Only 6 people can hold positions. Ri being the first and Fen being the second. When I was in Wakanda after you left T'Challa had me meet someone that could help me heal and have support. What I didn't know at the time was he was the 3rd position to Ri's protector pack. Although he is the black panther and doesn't shift form, it's the spiritual aspect that keeps him connected to this world. T'Challa set up a meeting with Ri and Fen to talk about my healing. As we walked in I looked at Ri in the eyes and she gasped. At first I thought it was because she was scared of me so I started to panic. She reassured me that was not why and proceeded to tell me what I am telling you. Come to find out, I was the next person to claim a spot in the pack. Gaining the name White Wolf from the Wakandian's, Ri actually proceeded to transform the shifter gene to me allowing me to become the white wolf. After I accepted this position, I have been with them ever since and of course you knew that but never knew why. And this is why."
I look up at Steve and he is just looking at me with love and calmness waiting for me to keep going. "After finally seeing you again today, I fell on my knees when I looked at you because I imprinted on you Steve. And it was the first bond I told you about. Where I would be a protector, brother, or lover. You have the option of what you want instead of the other two that are in a way chosen for you. However, when Ri gave you her bracelet she formed the last protector bond with you. But one more thing before I leave you to have some time to think about all of this, Steve, I have been in love with you since we were kids. I know in those times it wasn't right and we couldn't act on it but today is different. Even when I was in hydra I always felt like I was missing something until you pulled me out of that hell hole. And I will continue to love you even if this imprint bond isn't something you want. So I'll let you think on it." I then stood up and walked to the door. Leaving Steve sitting there wondering what to do.
Over the next two days Steve has stayed to himself for the most part. He occasionally steals a couple glances at me but doesn't approach me. I sit and watch what Paul and Ri have. How he cuddles her, makes her laugh, chases her around the house because she took the last muffin. I watch the affection between the two and can't help be envy them. I've always wanted a person to love and watching them makes it hard on me to believe I'll ever have that. Steve is what I want but I feel like he doesn't want me.
I walk up to Ri as her and Paul are laying on the couch, "hey Ri, I'm gonna go to the beach and get some air."
"Are you okay?" She asks.
"Yeah don't worry about it. Just some things on my mind."
"Buck you know he'll come around." She says.
"I'm not so sure about that Ri, or he would have already." I had to hurry up and get out of the house to keep them from seeing the tears pooling in my eyes. I make it to the beach and listen to the waves as the crashing sound of the water calms me down but my tears begin to fall.

I've been avoiding buck for 2 days since he opened up to me. It's a lot to take in. I've talked to Fen and Ri about what the protector bond means and think I will accept it. However, I'm scared of the imprint bond that was created with Bucky. We grew up in a time where same sex relationships wasn't right. I know times are different but what will people think?
Later this afternoon I find myself missing Bucky. Wanting to be with him and tell him I love him but I can't find him anywhere. He's not answering his phone or texts. I don't know what to do. I go to the living room to see Paul and Ri together. Paul is passed out laying on her chest while she's watching F.R.I.E.N.D.S.
"Hey have you see buck?" I ask her in a quiet tone to not wake Paul.
"He left about 2 hours ago to head to the beach. Said he needed some air and to get away for a while."
"Shit." I rub my hands over my face in frustration from pushing him away.
"Steve? Go get him. It's different times, don't be afraid."
With that response I bolt out of the door and head to the beach. I get there within 10 minutes and see Bucky's figure sitting in the sand with his head on his knees. The closer I get I can see his body moving as if he were crying. Was this my fault? Because I was too scared to love and now the love of my life is broken because of me?
"Buck?" saying barley about a whisper.
He snaps his head up and quickly stands up. "Oh hey, sorry I didn't know you were here. I uh I can go so you can have some time alone." He says while walking away from me. I stand there frozen watching him leave
