This part features a OC.
--
If you had to pick a favourite thing about your wolf boyfriend it was that he was so warm and comfy that you could nap cuddled up against him for hours but, unfortunately, right now he needed you to remain awake. You sighed and cuddled up against his chest as you let the new information wash over you, he rubbed your back with his massive hand as you both lay on his bed. He kissed the top of your head as you idly gazed out into the hallway, his mum's rule was that if you were around the bedroom door always had to be open, she wasn't in but in all honestly you felt a bit more comfortable with it open. You'd not discussed being intimate with Embry, and right now wasn't the time, so you hid behind the open door and his mother's rules.
"You know, she'll be loving the attention." You mumbled after a moment of silence and beneath your head Embry's chest rumbled in agreement.
"Jacobs in bits over the whole thing." Embry told you, "He can't believe that she chose the leech over him."
"I can't believe it either if I'm honest." You told him.
"I thought that you were over your thing for Jacob." Embry teased you and squeezed your arm playfully, you managed a small smile but even Embry couldn't cheer you up after the news that he'd given you.
A vampire army was coming to Forks. Yeah, vampire army. And Jacob was worried about his love life.
"When did my life get so complicated?" You sighed and started to draw patterns with your finger over Embry's chest.
He caught your hand and brought it up to his lips so that he could kiss the back of your hand, "I'm guessing when you met me?" he offered.
You sat up and looked down at him, since getting over your initial awkwardness about the imprint you'd not seen him look so unsure of himself. Your stomach flipped at the self-annoyance in his voice, you leaned down and brushed your lips against his before smirking and mumbled against his lips, "Yes you ruined my life, you stupid mutt."
It took him a whole second to register the humour in your voice and in the next second he'd whipped a pillow from under his own head and hit you around the head with it. You let out a yelp of indignation as you play fought on his bed, his large hands finding your sides and tickling you. In a rush to escape his tickling torture you threw yourself to the side and as you began to fall off of his bed he caught you and fell with you so that you landed atop him in a pile of limbs and bedding.
He was laughing the ridiculous barking laugh that he did when he found something way too funny, the one that you found so adorable no matter who much the rest of the pack mocked it. That was Embry's unabashed joy, how could you not like it? Your laughing soon joined him and you dropped yourself down on the floor beside him, laughing and enjoying life as you knew it before the forces of darkness descended upon Forks.
His warm hand found yours as you lay there. He faced you, his mop of hair sticking out from your fighting, "How can you make me laugh when all the worlds going to shit?"
You dramatically batted your eyelashes, "Because I'm the best imprint ever?"
You got a pillow in the face again for that one.
——
After each imprint had been told individually about the looming threat, you were all invited over to Emily and Sam's to discuss what it meant for the pack. Sam took centre stage, as Alpha, and the pack sat with the imprints in a circle around him. Embry had bundled you into his lap but you were sure to give Jacob a hug on the way in, he needed to know that he wasn't alone.
"So, you all know that Forks is in danger." Sam started, Paul opened his mouth to make a comment but Leah clamped her hand over his mouth and Sam continued, "There's no way to sugar coat it, we have decided to fight alongside the Cullen's to eradicate the Leeches."
A thick silence fell over you all, no one expected you be the one to puncture it, "Fuck off."
Everyone's gaze snapped to you, eyebrows up, mouths open.
Embry wrapped his arms tighter around you. Sam, to his credit, wasn't mad. His face was full of all the understanding that it took for him to control his hormone fuelled wolves on a daily basis, "Y/N I know that it's come as a shock and that you're probably scared but you're a smart girl. Think about it logically, we have to stand and fight or a lot of people could die."
"Yeah people like you," You argued, your hands were holding onto Embry's arms around your waist, "But I'm sure I'll be comforted by my logic when you're all dead."
Embry shh'd you slightly, not to silence you but because it was all he could think to do to help calm you. Sam looked around the room, once glance at the imprints was all it took for him to know that they agreed with you. But there was nothing that they could do to change it.
Sam came to over to where you and Embry were sat and crouched down so that he was in your eye line. You wiped furiously at your eyes that were spilling tears without your permission. Embry kissed your temple again, his chest rumbling at Sam's closeness to your while you were upset.
"Y/N, none of us wanted this. If it was up to us we'd let the leeches rip each other apart and that would be that but you and I both know that's not how it would end." Sam implored, his patience shining through again, he didn't want to see you upset but this had to happen.
He continued, "I never woke up and thought that I'd like to be a wolf, never mind in charge of these idiots," Some of the pack elbowed each other, "Buts it's my life now and I love it and I will protect it and everyone that I love. If they descend on us and we do nothing than everyone in Forks and La Push will die."
You let his words settle over you, you'd always quite liked Sam, he'd never had a choice in how his life had turned out but always seemed to try to be firm but fair as he dealt with the boys. You turned in Embry's lap so that you were facing your boyfriend and instantly he was wiping tears from your cheeks and kissing where they'd trailed.
"Do you think that you can do this?" You asked him, your voice was thick with trying not to cry.
He ran his hand threw his hair and gave you a lopsided grin that screamed confidence, "It's kind of what we do babe."
You took in a deep, shuddery breath before looking over at Kim and Emily to make sure they agreed with you before asking, "So what do you need from us?"
—-
The list of rules that the pack had given you was ridiculous. The biggest annoyance that it caused you was the fact that no imprint was allowed to be alone at any time. You gained a furry escort everywhere, even when you slept you knew that the guard changed over the course of the night.
Today you were supposed to be under house arrest while the pack went to 'train' with the Cullens, they'd called it that so that you wouldn't worry but you'd already threatened Embry not to start trouble with Emmett and to be careful or you'd shave him the next time you saw him as a wolf. And you'd meant to keep your promise to them to be somewhere where you could be protected at all times, you really had.
But the world seemed to have different plans for you.
Life could change in an instant; you knew that better than most. One look from your crushes best friend and you'd found the love of your life. Your literal mate. Not that you'd been too keen on the connection at first, dreamy dimples or no dreamy dimples, but now you couldn't see yourself without Embry.
You had intended to keep your promise not to wonder of on unattended but when your car gets run off of the road and into the woodlands by a monstrous ball of fur, you don't really get much of a say. Well c'mon, that can't be your fault. You'd stumbled from your car, uninjured but dazed. You were thanking your lucky stars that you were safe when you the thought of random moments effecting your life.
Somehow, for some reason, you knew that the injured wolf at your feet would be one of these instances. You tried not to panic but it was hard, it bubbled up in your instantly as a survival instinct. This wolf wasn't part of the pack that much you knew because the back was with the Cullens. You couldn't repress the shudder at your situation.
The pack was working with the Cullens, you were left unattended while a new army of the undead made their way to town and you'd found yourself the new keeper of an injured unknown wolf. You took a tentative step towards it, its dark eye snapped open and watched you. You jumped back, the fear that you'd had when you first learned of Embry now fresh. The wolf's breathing was laboured, its chest heaving up and down. Its eyes rolled back and he stopped looking at you.
Fuck. Fuck fuckitty fuck.
Well what were you supposed to do now?
Its side was bleeding profusely and you could tell by the deep gashes along his ribs that your car hadn't done that. Shaking, you slipped your jumper from your shoulders and pushed it down onto the gashes.
What where you supposed to do?
How far away was the pack?
Would they hear you if you called or would the thing that had attacked this wolf hear you?
You pulled your phone from your jeans pocket and dialled one of the only people outside of the pack who could help you, "Billy? Billy I found a wolf."
—
Through the combined effort of you, Billy and Sue, somehow you weren't surprised to find that she knew about the pack, you had gotten the wolf into Sue's truck and taken him back to Sue's house and laid him across Seth's bed.
You explained everything that you could to them, it had all happened so fast. Billy took you to one side in the hallway while Sue ventured into the edge of the woods in the hopes of catching the pack before they panicked at the scent of another wolf in the area.
Billy pulled you to one side in the hallway, "Look Embry loves you but he may react out of instinct to this new wolf. He's just worried about you, remember that."
"He wouldn't hurt me." You told him with absolute certainly.
"I know that." Billy said, "But that doesn't mean that he won't hurt that wolf in there. We don't want you getting hurt by accident."
Almost as soon as the words where said the door crashed open and after a stampede of footsteps you were knocked off of your feet and into the warm arms of your frantic boyfriend.
He dropped to his knees, still holding you close to his chest and held you still for a moment.
Was he sniffing you?
"Did he touch you?" His voice rasped in your ear. It took you a moment of squirming in his arms to be able to face him, "No just my car. I think it was an accident though, I touched him to put my jumper on his ribs." You explained and his shoulders deflated slightly as he breathed a sigh of relief. More sets of footprints crashed into the hallway behind you, the rest of the pack must have caught up.
Quil was bent over, his hands on his knees as he huffed, "Jesus, I've never seen Embry move that fast."
Sam was straight down to business, "What do we know?"
Billy answered him, "His wounds are starting to heal now that he's able to rest. He's transformed back into his human form but he's not regained consciousness yet."
Sam turned his attention to you, "What happened Y/N?"
"I was driving to your place when my truck got taken off of the road," Embry growled at this but you continued, "I took my jumper off to hold it to his wounds and phoned Billy. I –" You stopped.
"What is it?" Paul encouraged you.
"Okay so this is going to sound weird but I felt like I had to help that guy." You patted Embry's arm as he tightened his grip on you, "I felt like I had to. I can't explain it."
The guys shared a look before glancing at Embry. Your boyfriend was clearly annoyed at your strong desire to save another man but for now he was content just to hold onto you after the fear of scenting an unfamiliar wolf and dealing with the Cullens all afternoon.
A noise at Seth's bedroom door snatched everyone's attention as the door opened and the wolf shuffled out in his human form, a towel around his waist to hide his modesty. He was easily as tall as Paul and had the same tanned skin and taut psyche as the pack. He looked as old, if not older, than Sam and his black hair stuck up in all directions.
Sam stood proud in front of his pack, the alpha in charge, he started simply, "What's your name?"
"Cade." The words came out hard and twisted from exhaustion before he looked around and his eyes found yours, "Thank you for saving me."
"You're welcome." You squeaked out from your boyfriend-fortress. Cade took a step towards you and Embry growled at him and Jake and Paul stopped his path.
"Move." Cade told them and Paul pushed the injured wolf back with one large hand.
"No." Paul snapped, "What do you want with my sister? You ran her off the road. You could have killed her." He snarled and out of your peripheral you noticed Seth guiding Billy and Sue out of the line of fire.
"You're not related, she doesn't smell of you." Cade said simply.
Paul's face flushed with anger but you cut him off by asking, "What is it that you want?"
"I don't know." Cade answered honestly with a shrug, "I'd just got away from the new-borns then I smelt you. There's something about your smell, I had to come and find you."
"She's my imprint." Embry snarled, you could feel him starting to shake against you and you tried to calm him.
"I know," Cade told him before pushing his hands into his hair, he looked distraught, "But the smell, you don't understand, it's driving me insane." He looked at the guys, "Can't any of you smell it?!"
They were shaking their heads when downstairs the door slammed opened and Leah was coming up the hallway, "What the fuck is going on in my house? Where's Y/N? And what's that sm-"
She stopped short when she noticed Cade for the first time and he turned to face her. They locked eyes and forgot about everyone else.
"Did they just -?" You whispered to Embry.
He nodded and as his whole posture relaxed he dropped back against the wall bringing you into his lap, "He must have smelt Leah on you. The smell of his mate nearby with the threat of the new-borns must have driven him insane."
"Does this mean we can't kick his ass?" Paul asked.
"I've not decided yet." Sam grumbled as they watched Leah and Cade stare at each other in the hallway, they'd not moved yet.
Seth's face was split into a massive grin, he nudged you with his knee as he stood beside where you sat, "Maybe your imprint to Embry gave you a better link to the pack? That's why you knew that you had to help him? I don't understand the whole mating link but Leah's gonna be happy, that's all I care about."
"That's if she remembers how to talk." Quil quipped.
Leah was the one to make the first move, that's if you can call launching herself into his arms a move. The motion knocked him back and they fell into Seth's room, the door slamming shut behind them.
Seth's grin dropped and he whimpered, "My room."
Sam straightened his shoulders, "We need to have a vote about if he can join our pack." He made a move for Seth's door but you were quicker. You jumped in front of the door and held your arms out on either side to stop Sam.
"Sam, don't you think after everything that Leah had to go through with you and Emily and then her Dad that she deserves this moment?" You implored, "Do your serious pack stuff later. Think about how protective you are of Emily, and Jared of Kim, and Embry of me. I wouldn't want to get in the way of two wolves with the imprint, would you?"
Sam considered it for a moment, he had totally destroyed Leah with his relationship with Emily, he knew that. He nodded, "They have tonight but tomorrow we have to talk about the outsider." Sam spoke loudly so that they would hear him through the door but you could hear clothing ripping from inside the room and doubted that they were paying attention to Sam.

The next morning Leah was PISSED.
She had met with you that morning and told you about everything that had happened between her and her mate the night before – yours ears where burning with embarrassment by the end of her tales. But for now you had more pressing matters, she was stalking up and down as you sat outside Sam and Emily's.
"Vote on the outsider?" She snarled, "Vote on the outsider?! That's my mate!"
You jumped at her voice but stayed sat. She just needed to vent and you were her closet friend.
You spoke about it for a while before she sighed and dropped herself down next to you. She let out a huff before cuddling up to your side, you wrapped your arm around her.
"Y/N if they don't let him join our pack then I'm going to leave with him." She whispered to you.
"I don't want you to leave." You admitted, "I'd miss you too much."
Leah sniffed, "I'd miss you too, of course I'd try to come back to see you. But...you understand don't you, Y/N?"
You inhaled the question and the answer came to you in an instant. You did understand. The way that you felt about Embry, when by all sane rights you should be terrified of him, was so much more than you ever expected to feel about anyone and you were human. You couldn't imagine that connection between two wolves.
"I do." You told her and she hugged your side more.
Cade came up behind you and gave Leah a small kiss before focusing his attention on you, "Y/N, I just wanted to say, not matter how they vote in there, thank you for being so understanding yesterday, for saving me and for bringing me to my mate. I'm sorry if I scared or upset you."
You gave him a small smile, "Don't mention it and for what it's worth, I hope it goes well in there."
"Me too." He agreed and took Leah's hand before they headed into Sam and Emily's house. Kim and Emily joined you sat waiting their decision, none of you spoke.
—
When the door finally opened, one hour and twenty three minutes later – not that you'd been counting- Leah rushed out and caught both you and Emily in an embrace.
"Whatever you said to Sam and Embry thank you," She whispered to you both and you could feel her tears on your neck, "They helped me and Seth convince the others to let Cade stay."
She stepped back and wiped away her tears of happiness and Cade was behind her in an instant, his hands holding hers and kissing her cheeks where she'd been crying.
You made your way over to Embry, wrapped your arms around his neck and pushed yourself up on your tiptoes so that you could kiss the tip of his nose. He grinned and gave you proper kiss.
"I'm proud of you for being so mature." You told him.
His arms came around you, "Yeah well he came and apologised to me for scaring you and then I heard him apologise to you as well. I couldn't split up a bond, I remembered how I felt yesterday when I found your truck. I wouldn't want that for them."
"How'd I get the sweetest wolf?" You asked.
He shrugged and gave you a grin, "Just lucky I guess. Well done you, you won the grand prize. Which is me, obviously."
"And so modest." You teased.
Jacob interrupted your moment as he stamped his way out of the house, the broken remnants of his phone in his hand.
"Bad call?" Embry asked.
Jacob glared at him, like he did everyone these days, "That was Bella. We don't have long until the new-borns show up. I've got a plan to get her out of there before they show up."
At the mention of the upcoming war you snuggled into Embry's chest and he stroked your hair.
"Jake, not now okay?" Embry asked and nodded down at you.
"Not now, not now." Jacob mocked, "Look you and Y/N may have a perfect bond but Bella doesn't want me. The only thing that I can do is save her from the new-borns."
With that stunning display of logic he stamped off towards his truck.
"It's just one thing after another since you imprinted on me." You noted.
Embry hummed in agreement before adding, "You know even though I was a wolf, my life was pretty quiet too. I'm starting to think that all this is your fault."
You didn't need to look up to know he was grinning so you poked him in the ribs, "Asshole."
He gave you a playful squeeze, "Love you too."
