Embry's pov
I was fully expecting to get yelled at by Maggie. I was so nervous to face her, but once I walked out that front door and looked into her eyes, my entire world stopped. It was no longer the earth holding me here, it was her. I seen flashes our future together. I remember seeing flashes of when Sam imprinted on Emily, I didn't think it would be this powerful. I just have to explain why I disappeared for the past month. It was so confusing when I was shifted into a wolf the first time. Sam was just as shocked since I'm not connected to the Tribe, or at least i'm not supposed to be. My mom refuses to speak the truth of who my father is and I finally accepted that I will never know. I was also nervous to see Maggie, Sam warned me that there was a chance I would not imprint on her. He was wrong, she was meant to be my soulmate. I felt it since we were kids."Embry, please say something," I hear her soft voice interrupt my thoughts.
I hate how much I've hurt her, I can tell she's lost weight and the dark circles under her eyes give away that she hasn't been sleeping, "I am so sorry,"
"I just want to know what happened," Her face began to soften.
I nod and take her hand, "let's go for a walk,"
I lead her through a path in the woods and stop once we are in a meadow. She sits in the middle and waits for me. I take a deep breath and sit beside her, "remember when we were joking about me turning into a giant wolf?"
"Yeah, we agreed that it wasn't possible since you didn't know who your dad was." Maggie says, remembering the night we talked about it.
"Well it turns out that it is possible..."
She looks up at me in wonder, "really? how?"
"I honestly have no idea. It just happened one day and I was so confused. Sam and I tried to figure out how it was possible. My mom won't tell me who my dad is" I tell her, "I was also worried about us. There's this thing called imprinting and it's something a wolf does to find his mate."
She follows along with what I'm saying, not ever interrupting.
"I was afraid that you weren't going to be my imprint and we couldn't be together," I explain.
"You say "weren't", so does that mean that I am?" She wonders.
I nod, "yeah, i was so sure you would be. I've been in love with you for years and I always felt that we had a connection,"
"I felt it too, it feels stronger now somehow."
"That's the imprint, it bonds us," I explain, "but there's also no pressure, I know you're upset with me and I'll understand if you don't want to be with me."
She shakes her head then looks at me with a pained expression, "this month was terrible without you, I was mad at you but I was also so worried."
I cup her cheek gently with my hand, "I am so sorry I did that. I was just confused and scared"
She leans into my hand, "I understand but if you ever do that to me again, I'll kill you" she says in her best threatening tone.
I laugh and nod, "I'll never leave you again, I promise"
Maggie's pov
His hand feels so warm against my cheek and i wanted to feel more. I begin to lean towards him and he follows my move as he does the same. Our lips were close to touching, "have you been drinking?" He asks.
"Um, maybe." I say, biting my lip. He pulls back to look at me with a pout on his lips.
"You shouldn't be doing that, Mags," He says softly.
"I just wanted to feel something. I've been so miserable and alone. Juliet and Remington helped me feel something today. I finally felt like I had people who cared." I explain to him.
"Paul told me that it looked like you and Remington were about to kiss," Embry confesses.
"We didn't though, I was just unsure of what was happening between us,"
"Hey, you don't have to explain yourself. I know I hurt you and I deserve it," He says with a sad tone.
"You don't deserve that, Em. I'll never cheat on you, I'm yours," I reassure him, pressing my lips to his gently.
He holds onto my waist and kisses me back. The kiss quickly gets heated as I'm pulled onto his lap. I hold onto his shoulders and his hands roam my sides. His hands make his way to my ass and I moan into the kiss. I grip onto his shoulders and kiss down his neck, stopping at his sweet spot. I tease him with light sucking and biting. He moans under me, "Fuck, Maggie."
"you're so hot," I whisper in his ear, feeling the heat from his skin radiating to me.
"Why thank you, darling but you're much hotter," He says with a smirk.
I giggle at him, "no, I mean your skin is really hot,"
"Oh, yeah, it's a wolf thing. I'm always warm," He explains with a shrug.
"What else is a wolf thing?" I question.
"I'm naked when I transition back to human from wolf,"
"really?"
"Yeah and we can read each other's minds when we are in wolf form,"
"Wow! Edward can read people's minds too but everyone's and always," I explain to him.
I feel him tense at Edward's name and a frown forms on his lips, "They are still gone, right?"
"Yeah... I don't think they are coming back," I tell him.
"There is a redhead running around here. We keep tracking her and we can't figure out what she wants," Embry explains.
My eyes widen at his words. The redhead is Victoria. Did she come back to kill Bella? Oh no, me?
"I think she is here for Bella and I," I say in a panicky voice.
"What? Why?" He asks.
I explain to him what happened and we both connected of why Rosalie wanted me to be with Sam.
"I can't believe they left you here with that bitch running around," he says in disbelief.
"I know," I mumble, it still hurt that Rosalie and Emmett left me.
"Hey, I'm here though and I will always protect you," He promises, lifting my chin up to look into my eyes.
"I missed you so much," I whisper.
"I missed you too, baby," He whispers back, pressing a gentle kiss to my lips.
"Can i see your wolf form?" I question.
He laughs and nods, "of course!"
I squeal in delight and remove myself from his lap.
He jogs to the woods and I wait patiently for him to come back.
I'm met with a very large wolf that's grey and black. He's stunning.
"You're so cute!" I grin up at him as he approaches me. I stick my hand out and he nuzzles his head into it. I pet his fur with my other hand and feel his warmth radiating off of him. God, I'm in love with a werewolf.
