Chapter 08: "Imprinting"

Seth's POV

At first, I only saw glimpses and glances of the new girl because of the large flame hiding her well. Her soft velvety voice brought a state of calmness in me. I smiled unconsciously, I could not wait to actually meet her.

"I am her brother, Seth Clearwater." I introduced as I looked into her eyes and held my hand out for a hand shake.

The moment our eyes met, everyone around us disappeared. It was just the two of us in our own world. Then the scenery changed and all I saw were different images of the two of us. Most of the images displayed were us being intimate with each other such as holding hands, hugging, cuddling, and even sharing a kiss. Others were more into the future still happily together.

"Nice to meet you." [Name] said with a smile and a small blush on her face.

I returned the smile. "How do you like the pack so far?"

[Name] pouted. "I don't think they like me very much."

Bella raised a hand. "My fault."

[Name], Bella, Jacob, and I laughed. Quil and Embry went off to hang with the others while Leah just watched and observed us.

"Let's begin the storytelling." Sam announced.

"Is it okay if I sit next to you?" I asked [Name] as I was still standing in front of her. I smiled as I saw her nod.

Leah placed a hand on my shoulder. "You don't want to sit with your big sister?" She teased. "Just kidding, I will be with Quil and Embry." She walked away and sat with them.

Jacob smirked. "Here." Jacob scooted and so did Bella and [Name] to make space for me.

"Thanks." I sat down comfortably between Jacob and [Name].

[Name] smiled. "No problem."

They storytelling begun and everyone was immersed. Billy talked about our ancestors who discovered our shapeshifter ability and our enemies, the cold ones. I watched [Name] as she would cringe and shiver every once in a while especially when the story got more gruesome.

I grabbed a hold of her hand. "I hope you don't mind. I saw you flinch so I thought..." I trailed off. "If you don't like it then I will let go." My hold on her hand loosening.

[Name] grabbed my hand. "It's fine. It does help. Thanks."

"No problem." I replied.

Jacob nudged me and grinned. "You imprinted on her." He said in our wolf telepathy.

I nodded. "I know. I'm lucky."

"Damn right. I can't have Bella and I can't even have [Name] either? Am I cursed?" Jacob exclaimed.

"It's just not your time yet. You will find her, and then you will have an imprint of your own." I encouraged.

"Don't forget to tell and explain imprinting to her." Jacob reminded.

"I won't. I will do it after the storytelling."

The two of us nodded and continued to listen to the story till the end.

"Don't be offended, but I'm going to let go." I said as the story ended and let go of our intertwined hands.

"Oh no worries. Thanks again." [Name] smiled.

"I actually need to tell you something." I started. "I imprinted on you."

"Imprinted?" [Name] questioned with a small tilt of her head.

Bella gasped. "Are you serious?"

"Are you mad?" I asked Bella. "I didn't mean to-"

Bella interrupted me and shook her head. "No, I'm quite fine with it."

Jacob chuckled. "Just earlier you said you didn't like it."

"I didn't like the idea of some werewolf imprinting my sister and taking her away from me. But it's Seth. Seth is a good kid. He will take care of my sister. He will cherish and protect her. I don't need to worry." Bella said.

I looked at [Name] as her face reads confusion. "When a werewolf imprints, they usually imprint on someone who are expectantly soulmates. It comes unexpectedly, and we cannot control it. Sometimes it's a gift and other times it's a burden." I explained.

Jacob nodded and sighed. "We can't force ourselves to imprint. No matter how much we want to. It just suddenly happens." Jacob then put his hands on Bella. "Let's give them two a bit more privacy."

The two went off to join the pack in their own discussions and fun.

"Ah... So that's why Bella went on about cherishing and protecting me." [Name] slowly said. "You imprinted on me and I..." She trailed off trying to comprehend imprinting.

"It all depends on you." I told her. [Name] looked at me to continue. "It's all your choice to accept being imprinted on or not. I can't force you to do anything you don't want to do."

I watched as [Name] got flustered. "Sorry, I'm just trying to understand the situation first."

I nodded. "No worries, just state your confusion. I will do my best to make the situation more comprehensive."

[Name] smiled. "Okay, so I have that you imprinted on me which is a werewolf thing that happens when the werewolf has found their supposedly other half. You don't have control on who you want to imprint..." She trailed off. "I just have a question. What usually happens when the werewolf imprints and tells their imprintee? I mean I know it's my choice, but I was wondering in a general sense."

"They usually somehow get together. It's a bit complicated to explain." I answered. "Sometimes, imprinting has different meanings at different times. Some werewolves imprint on babies. They start off as an older brother, but eventually once the imprintee is old enough they usually become lovers. The werewolf becomes whatever the imprintee needs or wants. If you need a brother, friend, or a lover that is what I will become."

"Wait, what happens if the imprintee doesn't accept?" [Name] asked. "Not implying anything." She noted.

"It doesn't usually happen, but supposedly the werewolf will be in an unbearable pain as the werewolf will try to not be with their imprintee." I sighed. "Sam's imprintee, Emily, is our cousin. Leah was actually with Sam until he first phased and imprinted on Emily. However, Emily didn't accept the imprinting because she didn't want to betray Leah. Although, things didn't go as planned. The more the two fought to be away from one another. The closer they got and eventually she decided to be with him."
