Cats and Dogs

Chapter 6

Embry's POV

I watched her drive away on her bike and sighed.

I had finally imprinted, and the one person I imprint on doesn't believe in soul mates. Great. Just great.

I saw Jacob running towards me and was about to turn away and leave when he reached me.

"Hey, where did Angelica go?" he asked.

"She went home"

"Why? What did you say to her?" he glared at me.

I looked him in the eyes and glared right back "why do you care?"

He frowned and sighed. "She's been through a lot; don't be so hard on her if she doesn't open up to you"

"Why what happened?"

"She used to live with the volturi"

At this I growled as was about to yell at Jake about endangering everyone by inviting her when he continued.

"They abused her, used her as their own personal performing monkey. They laughed at her when they caused her pain, so she ran away"

I was suddenly gripped by a wave of guilt and sorrow. The poor girl had suffered too much, and I was so quick to judge her. Thinking of her brought a surge of love into my heart, my imprint had finally come, but she was broken and unaware of what love can truly be. And I swore at that moment that I would fix her spirit and help her love again.

"Just don't pressure her. Just give her time" said Jacob.

I frowned at him; I had to be near her. When she drove away I felt like part of my soul went with her and my chest ached for it to come back. I knew I had to give her time, but that didn't mean I couldn't see her,
