Running with the Wolves

Chapter 04

I am still in Paul's arms when I wake up the following morning. The bad dreams went away while I was in bed with him. I smile at that and I climb out of his bed. I kiss his cheek before finding my way back to the guest room. I change into some denim shorts, a 100% Human t-shirt, and some black tennis shoes.

I meet Paul and Anne downstairs in the kitchen. Anne smiles at me before handing me a plate with pancakes and bacon on it. I thank her before taking a seat next to a happy Paul. He is in jeans, a brown t-shirt, and some combat boots.

"Are we going to Sam and Emily's today?" I ask.

Paul nods. "Yeah, we need to explain a few things to you."

I smile before I help clean the dishes up. Anne hugs me before she goes to get in the shower. She heads to work in a few hours for her hospital shift. Paul and I leave the house when the dishes and counters are cleaned up.

Paul pulls up to Sam's before turning his truck off. He drapes an arm around my shoulder before he walks inside. Sam greets me and I notice he is shirtless. I blush before I take a seat beside Paul.

"Sam, we need to tell Violet the secret." Paul says. "We can have the Cullen's do it when they get back from Arizona."

Sam gives me a soft look before nodding. "Alright. I will be right back."

When Sam returns, he hands me a book on the Quiluete legend. I turn to the chapter on the shape shifting and cold one, as Sam instructed. I skim through it and these things seem awesome as heck.

"Why am I reading this?" I ask.

Paul and Sam exchange a look and tell me to continue reading. I roll my eyes before I begin reading again. Eurphrom Black used to be alpha. That last name sounds familiar. Quil the first..... all these names...

"They are real.... the names are too familiar." I mumble.

"Yes." Sam says. "Eurphrom is Jacobs grandfather, Quil the fort is Quil's grandfather and an elder on the council."

I nod. "Who is the new alpha; it said another one was crowned when he stepped down."

"I am." Sam replies. "Paul ere is next in command then Jared, then Embry.."

"Shouldn't Jacob be in line? His grandfather was alpha." I question.

"Jacob was offered alpha position, but he denied it." Sam replies.

I hum before I skim through more of the book. I come across a word that catches my attention. Imprinting. "What is imprinting?"

Paul smirks. "It isn't love at first sight, really. It's like gravity leaves you, and it's her holding you to earth. You'd be anything for her; a friend, a brother, a protector, or lover."

"Sounds like you know the feeling." I smirk.

Paul smiles at me. "I do."

"Lucky girl." I sigh dreamily.

Paul laughs. "Its you, Vi. You are my imprint."

They all gasp and I just stare at Paul, dumbfounded. He imprinted on me? They seem shocked Paul finally found his imprint. I blush as San goes on with explaining wolf things to me. Their body heat is 108 degrees.

Paul and I ride back to his house after seeing Sam. Anne is still gone and my cell starts ringing as Paul starts a bag of popcorn.

"Hi, Isabella, regret leaving me yet?" I ask with a smirk.

"Oh shut it, Violet Marissa." Bella grumbles. "We are home. I'll get you from Sam's tomorrow and we will go to Edwards so you can know secret as well."

I hum in response. "Okay, Bella. See you tomorrow."

Paul smiles as he puts in Nightmare Before Christmas. "Who called?"

"Bella; she made it home. She is getting me from Sam's tomorrow and I figure out the Cullen's secret too, whatever that means." I reply.

Paul smiles. "Good. You should know what all is around you."

"I'd rather be in La Push with my wolves." I smirk.

Paul smiles. "Good. Oh, and Emily is human too."

I nod as the movie ends. Paul and I go to his room. I am sleeping in his room so I can avoid nightmares tonight. I have them often. They started when I was 10.

I snuggle deep into Paul's arms and he smiles. I want to be his girlfriend, I just need to figure out how and when to ask him. I smile as I burry my face into his neck. He rubs my back until I fall off to sleep.
