Sam's living room hums with pack energy - low laughter, the clink of beer bottles, body heat radiating off a dozen werewolves packed into too small a space. You're perched on the armrest of the couch, Embry sprawled beside you, his easy grin infectious as he launches into another story about patrol mishaps. Your hand rests on his forearm, fingers light against warm skin, and you let your laugh ring out just a beat too long. Across the room, Jacob's entire body goes rigid. His jaw locks, tendons standing out in his neck. The temperature spikes - you feel it even from here, that telltale flush of heat that means he's seconds from phasing. His dark eyes bore into you with an intensity that makes your imprint bond sing, a connection he doesn't know exists, one you broke his heart to hide. Three months since you walked away. Three months of him trying to prove his feelings are choice, not fate. But how do you tell him the truth when the truth means he'll feel trapped forever?
