I Didn't Want An Imprint (Paul Lahote x Reader)

PAUL'S POV

Great. First we've got the red head running rampant all over Forks and La Push, and now we have to deal with a battle against some sort of army of newborn vampires.

I was really hoping this summer would consist of us finally killing off the red head and spending the rest of our summer on the beach with Y/N as close to me as possible to keep warm as the sun goes down, and hanging out at Sam and Emily's with the pack. But, it looks like our days of vampire chasing were only getting started.

My mind was scattering thoughts left and right- Who's leading the newborn army? How can I keep Y/N safe? Could we win?

I had been silent practically the entire ride home aside from the few side huffs I made thinking about sinking my teeth into some bloodsuckers. My Jeep came to a stop in front of Y/N's house, but I continued in my thoughts, not noticing Y/N staring directly at me.

"You knew that Chaz was a vampire." I managed to break away from my thoughts after hearing her sweet, but frightened voice. I could tell in her eyes that she was scared, and from the many stories and legends I had told her about the soulless leeches, she had every right to be.

"Don't worry, Y/N. I'll never let anything happen to you," I grabbed her hand, giving it a tight, but gentle squeeze, "Besides, as much as I despise the leech, he's harmless, according to Sam. And, he knows better than to break the treaty by hurting a human."

"Treaty? What treaty?" I explained to Y/N about the Quillette's and the Cullen's treaty and how the Cullen's only hunted animals rather than humans, which made the treaty possible.

"How does Chaz fit in to all of that? Is he a Cullen?"

"At one point, yes. When the Cullen's first moved to town, Chaz lived with them. I think Edward said that they had taken him after passing through Alaska on their way here after discovering that he was alone. At some point, Chaz decided to leave the comfort of the Cullen's home, and decided to move to La Push to get away from them. Sam has ordered us to bring him no harm, but I'm not convinced he's as great as everyone thinks." Y/N looked focused as she tried to process the information.

"Wow, this is a lot to process. Well, what happened at the Cullen's? Does it have to do with Chaz?" I knew now was not a good time to overwhelm Y/N with news of the newborn army, so I lied.

"Not at all. Alice is the weird one of the Cullen family, don't mind her. But, what we should pay mind to is the time. It's getting late Y/N. You should probably get inside before your grandpa kills me."

READER POV

I barely slept last night after Paul took me home. I couldn't get the thought of Chaz being a vampire out of my head, and I couldn't help but feel like Paul was lying to me about whatever was going on with Alice, but I trusted that he would tell me whatever I needed to know, and I didn't push for more of an explanation.

I headed over to Emily's like I had done every Saturday to go hangout for the day until the end of Paul's shift. As I turned in to the gravel driveway, I could see the pack all huddled together in a circle, as if they were having some sort of meeting.

Weird, I thought. Usually their meetings are inside, but Emily has been known to kick them out for being too rowdy on some occasions. Paul and I locked eyes as I stepped out of my car and he made his way over to me as the pack continued to talk amongst themselves.

"Y/N, what are you doing here?" He asked.

"What do you mean? I'm always here on Saturdays. Is something going on?" I tried to look around his broad shoulders to get a glimpse of what the pack was doing, with no success.
