 "It's all my fault." Leah whimpered.

Cade sat against the wall with her and pulled her into his arms, "No, no baby, I should have got to you. This is my fault.""Shut up." Sam boomed making you jump further into Embry's chest as you curled up in his lap on Billy Black's sofa. Embry kissed your forehead before resting his head on yours and running his warm hands up and down your back reassuringly.

Sam continued, "You can't start to think like that, I know it's hard because you're imprinted to each other but this wasn't any one person's fault. We live as a pack, we fight as a pack. We look out for one another, Jake got hurt helping a member of his pack, it's what we do."A chorus of mumbled and hoarse agreement came from the boys, all of whom were scattered around the front room of the Black household. Leah buried her head in her knees as not to let them see the tears swelling in her eyes from receiving the acceptance that she had always sought from her clawed family.

Everyone fell into silence as you waited for news from Carlisle of Jacob's condition, you snuggled into Embry's chest, listening to the steady drum of his heart. It could have easily been the other way around with Embry hurt and Jacob carrying him back to the reservation. This wasn't supposed to happen, no one on your side was supposed to be hurt.You felt numb, you barely registered that Carlisle consulting Billy and Sam, nor did you hear the Alpha order for the pack to go home and rest.
But you felt Embry hook his arms under you and carry you out to the truck, he took you back to his house and curled up with you in bed, thankful that his mum was away for the weekend. You sighed as he pulled the thin blanket up over you; you never needed much to keep you warm when lying next to your radiator-boyfriend.

"That could have been you." You whispered into the darkness on the room and gently cupped his cheek with you hand.
He moved his head to press a kiss to the inside of your palm, "Don't think like that please, Y/N."
From what the pack had told you they had enhanced vision even at night, so you squeezed your eyes tight so he didn't see the tears swelling, "I can't help it, I can't lose you Embry."
He shushed you, took your face in his large hands and kissed where your tears had spilled free, "You never have to worry about that. Do you understand me?"
He brushed his lips over yours and, not trusting your voice, you simply nodded.

"Is this a good idea?" You asked smoothing down your dress, the one that Embry liked to paw at when he saw you in it.
Embry shook his head as buttoned up his shirt, "Of course not, it's an awful idea, but its better if we're there if Jake loses it."
You checked that your hair was styled as you wanted it and sighed, the last place you wanted to spend your whole night was with the Cullen's at Bella and Edward's engagement party, especially since Bella had told Jacob that she had chosen Edward.
"I still don't like her." You pouted.

Embry shook his head at you and grinned, "Okay street fighter, just remember that we both promised Sam to behave so no starting any fights."
"Well, if she starts anything, I'm going to finish it." You promised.
He clicked his tongue in amusement and stepped over to you and put his hands on your waist, he kissed the tip of your nose, "I don't doubt it. You look beautiful by the way."
He held his hand up so that you could spin around, giggling, "All for you handsome."
"How'd I get so lucky?" He grinned and leaned down to kiss you.
"It's probably something to do with those cute dimples." You teased, smiling against his lips.

He tucked some hair behind your ear before whispering into it, "If Leah is to be believed, it's because you like my bum."Then he laughed and blew a raspberry against your reddening check before bolting down the stairs laughing. You covered your red face with your hands and shouted, "Leah!"
