All six pair of eyes stared expectantly at me.
"Um so there's something I need to tell all of you. I've known it for a little while, but I just didn't know how to bring it up."
"You know you can tell us anything, Philly." I nodded at Sam's reassurance.
"You're not pregnant though, right?" I rolled my eyes at Paul .
"No, I can assure you I'm not." He leaned back in his chair with a content smile.
"Good."
"I did find my imprint though." Everyone's anxious faces changed quickly to relief.
"That was all? Why were you worried to tell us that?" Emily came up to give me a tight hug.
"Congratulations, Ophelia."
"Who is it?" Everyone else nodded at Jarod's question.
"That's the part I was worried about. His not a human." Their eyebrows raised.
"A double wolf imprinting? Those are rare to say the least." I slowly shook my head at Sam.
"If he's not human or another wolf then what else could he..." Embry trailed off as everything started to click.
"No." Paul abruptly stood up.
"It's not my choice of who's my imprint, Paul. I had no say."
"You will not be in a relationship with one of them, Ophelia." He stood straight in front of me, trying to make himself look bigger.
"You are not in any position to say who I can and can't be with, Paul. Especially not my imprint." His nostrils flared, but he was trying everything to not explode.
"You can't honestly think you'll have a normal relationship with him, Philly. Or did you? Did you think you'd be together, have that whole forbidden love thing going on, get married, and live happily ever after until you get old and die? Oh wait he can't get old and die because he is already dead!"
I didn't slap him. I punched him. Right between the eyes. The impact sent him to the floor where he looked at me wide eyes not believing what just happened. He didn't even look angry as he gripped the spot above his nose. He looked completely and utterly shocked. Me on the other hand, I was angry with him more than I've ever been.
"Fuck you. I would never say anything like that to you. No matter the situation. This is exactly why I didn't want to tell you, but me seeing the best in you thought he's family he'll be understanding. Look at where that got me, seeing the asshole hothead everyone else thinks of you. Family would not do this to each other, especially when I already feel like balling my eyes out at the thought that I've lost the one I'm destined to be with. I hope you feel good about yourself right now, Lahote." With wide eyes he watched me walk out the front door.
