Impurities (Seth Clearwater)

XXV

A/N Hello! Its September when I'm writing this so you know what time of the month it is...it's hua hua huaa szn. The second semester of CRNA school just started so I have been busy at the hospital. 

The next few hours were not ideal for Seth, especially when facing your family for the first time since disappearing. You thought Sam was going to give the poor boy a hard time? No. Sam and Leah seemed very lenient about this whole thing with Sam reasoning that the "time apart from his imprint was punishment enough". But it was also filled with everyone's harmonious laughter as they were relieved the pack's 'little brother' had returned from what Jared had put it as. 

But was quickly changed by Paul to a "Clearly not so little brother" After Seth had stood up face to face with him he realized how much larger Seth had become, not only was he head to head with Sam and Jake, but it was obvious that he could "out-muscle" Paul. 

"Jesus Seth, how tall are you now?" Jared said in disbelief feeling strange having to tilt his head slightly (A/n I am going off the characters build from the books, Jacob is the tallest in the series and was described to be 6'7" post-shift) 

"I mean, I don't know I didn't carry a tape measure out there did I" he retorted snarkily making Jared raise his arms in surrender 

"hey, lose the attitude you're in the wrong here, kid" Jacob rested his hand on Seth's shoulder but slightly felt uncomfortable as he looked at Seth directly in the eyes for the first time since shifting. he cleared his throat with the nonexistent cough stuck in it.

It all started with the entirety of the pack and you whipping your heads around hearing an all too familiar sound of a rumbling truck from miles out of the main road, and the feeling of dread starting sinking a pit into your stomach. 

"Uh oh," Embry let out a sarcastic snort followed by Quil responding in a sing-song voice "Daddy's home" (A/n I am well aware that the song does not exist during their time but it is such a Quil thing to do). 

"Shut the fuck up" you gritted through your teeth as you smacked both the boys against their napes earning a groan of pain from both of them. Seth did not dare lift his head up so you couldn't even read his expression or how he was feeling, but he wasn't shaking or sweating. 

For Seth, all he knew going through his mind is that - he has to own up to his shit - he's accepted his faults and the shit thing he did to you, you, of course, have yet to forgive him, but it's trying to get back in your family's good grace again is what is putting up such an internal conflict for him. 

A few minutes later Toji's black truck pulled up into the dirt driveway to which he was greeted with a spectacle of his own. A large boy which he can assume is Seth, is on his knees surrounded by the pack. 

"Well, look what the - dog dragged in" 

He closed the truck door making everyone flinch and avert their eyes from Toji's gaze. 

Despite the wolf's stature, Toji was still someone many chose not to mess with. 

"Seth" Toji acknowledged the young boys' presence who remained on the ground but this time lifted his head wearily to meet his eyes "Good to see you son, back and alive." 

You knew he was more than angry. His voice may be unwavering, but his eyes held so much emotion to retell. Seth nodded and slowly stood up, which to Toji's surprise, nearly met eye to eye. 

"Well," Toji gathered the rest of his belongings from the truck "I believe you two have a lot to talk about" 

He gestured to you and Seth "and Seth,"

Seth perked up "yes sir?"

"You might wanna shower first, son" 

Toji scrunched up his nose "I smelt you before I even pulled up" 

Sam nodded in acknowledgment as Toji went inside "He's right - also why do you smell like uhhhh..." 

"A cat." You said scrunching your eyes, narrowing your glare as Seth stood there awkwardly scratching his arm not knowing how to answer "Well, uh, I was in the forest for a while - I met a lot of animals some were cats y'know" he chuckled nervously recalling the unbearable encounter with Aron. 

The two of you sat inside on your bed, neither of you bothering to utter a word first. Instead, you just eyed Seth up and down, his new figure was the treat you weren't expecting on a random afternoon. But you were not complaining. 

The way his arms flexed in the hoodie you lent him from your brother's closet, and how the basketball shorts fit him just right - were riding up a little higher on his thighs. 

You swallowed the lump in your throat. Having your imprint back was an overstimulation you weren't prepared for, and neither was Seth. It was taking all his strength to not pounce on top of you right now and take you completely. 

You could practically feel his heart palpitating, see how much he was clenching his clamped hands together, and how focused he was on not staring back at you. He knew that if he took one good look at you there was no telling what he would do to you.

A/N I wonder what kind of chapter is next... hehehe :)
