Birthdays & Boyfriends

I didn't know how to respond to him so I just walked away. I didn't even know if I wanted a damn imprint, I just got back home; what was I supposed to do? What was worse was that I actually found myself liking Paul and feeling the need to be around him.

1 WEEK LATER

Today was the day, my birthday. I was officially 17; I didn't have to worry about school because I luckily had already graduated. Sam was planning to enroll me in the school on the rez when he was sure I could control myself. Imagine his shock and surprise to find out that not only had I already graduated but I had actually graduated with an associate's degree from college as well. I had a degree in Criminal Justice and Psychology and wanted to take online classes in the fall. That and I was able to speak four and a half languages; English, Quileute, Spanish, French, and I knew a bit of Japanese. He was shocked but extremely proud of me; he was shocked by how much I knew and how much for me leaving was good. I also shocked him with my abundant self-control. I was already able to control myself better than everyone but Sam. Jake and Paul had it the hardest because of Paul's stupid temper and Jake seriously had just shifted the day before I arrived.

Speaking of Mr. hot head, we were doing pretty well. I had tried to fight the imprint but still found myself drawn to him; so I did what any smartass would do I made his life a little harder. I liked to press his buttons just to see what reactions I could or would get, immature I know but fun none the less. It took me till about three days ago to realize I couldn't fight this stupid imprint so I was slowly giving in. that does not mean I wasn't giving him a hell of a time. Soul mate or not he was working harder than he probably ever had for a girl. I would ignore him and press his buttons daily; I got a kick out of it. I know everyone else did too but when it became too much for him or someone else Sam always stopped it. I had spent the last week training; learning about my wolf and helping the guys try and catch some nomad vampire with red hair. The chick was a bitch and fast. I was the smallest wolf but was almost the fastest and found out I looked just like Paul, a dark silver grey except my front right paw was all black. My birthday happened to fall the day before my favorite holiday of Halloween, so Emily had come up with the idea of having a Halloween themed birthday. We had bought all kinds of decorations, I had the house looking like a haunted house and everyone loved it. We got other decorations for my birthday and Emily was currently baking a cake because I could smell it. I took another look in the mirror fixing my makeup. I was being a sexy female ninja turtle, Raphael to be specific he's my favorite; and instead of using the mask that came with it I had painted a mask on part of my face and had my eye shadow mixed with it. It looked really dope now that I was done and I was quite proud of myself. In the week I had been a wolf I had chopped my long hair into an angled bob that went a little below my chin. I felt damn near bald now but I liked it and it worked. I grabbed the sia's I bought and tucked them into my costume turning as I heard a knock on my door.

"Come in." I said as I put my foot on my bed zipping up my green knee-high boots. I felt a soft smack on my butt before someone grabbed my waist. "Hello, Lahote."

"Happy Birthday gorgeous." He said into my neck as he kissed it. I sighed as it felt so good. I hated the way this fool made me feel. I turned around smirking at his costume. He was the male version of what I was.

"Really dude? I said raising my eyebrow.

"What?"

"You know what and thank you."

"Ok so I kinda got Emily to spill what you were going to be, but admit it we look good together."

"If you say so." He grabbed me turning me around towards the mirror on my wall. He was standing behind me and had his head on my shoulder. He was right we did look good together.

"See."

"Ok, I guess you're right." I said sticking my tongue out. He growled pulling me back into him

"When did you do that?"

"What."

"Your tongue. When."

"Oh, that, well I've had it just I've had a clear ring in and I had it out because that and the belly ring I thought would rip out from shifting." Paul grabbed me and kissed me roughly pushing me against my mirror. I growled in his mouth biting his lip. He squeezed me harder as he growled and ground his hips into mine. I smiled into his kiss before shoving him away. "Calm down."

"Fuck that, that's sexy, you look sexy as fuck and my wolf and I would love to."

"Paul, have some decency, first off we are in my brother's house and he, as well as everyone else, are downstairs. That and I've known you for a week. You will not be getting in my pants as fast as you think. Imprint or not."

"Shit like that makes me want you more."

"You're a dog."
