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

The Final Chapter

Chaz's eyes looked down on me from up above in my crouched down state, but those weren't his normal eyes. What were once a deep dark brown, similar to Paul's, were now a deep, dark, blood red. I remembered what Paul had told me about vampires and what their eyes colors represented. Golden eyes were vegetarian, like the Cullen's, and brought no harm to humans. But the red. The red eyes were dangerous. They weren't thirsty for animal blood. No. They wanted one thing, and one thing only. Human blood. My body broke into a cold sweat.

"Tisk, tisk, tisk, Y/N. Didn't your mother and father teach you to never go through people's personal belongings?" I tried to pull back from his grip around my wrist to no avail.

"Why do you have my phone, Chaz? "I questioned angrily. He didn't answer, but instead, turned his gaze to Kim and Emily who were still in shock from his sudden appearance.

"Ladies. When Paul returns back home, be sure to let him know that I have something he'll be wanting and that if he wants it back, he'll need to come and find me." My breathing picked up as I turned to Emily and Kim, realizing they felt the same fear as me.

"No!" Emily cried, as she attempted leaping to my rescue. I felt a sudden whiplash to my neck, as I was thrown onto Chaz's back, and saw the silhouettes of the landscape move quickly through the woods as Chaz used his vampire speed to get away.

—And now, I'm here.Was I alone? Where was Paul?

A rustling of the tree leaves above me was all I heard before a loud thud landed in front of me, revealing Chaz, who I assumed was watching me from the treetop.

I steadied my vision to Chaz and slowly sat up, leaning against the tree trunk behind me.

"Where am I?" I asked. "Why are you doing this?" I placed one hand on my forehead while the other steadied myself upright.

"All very good questions, Y/N. All will be answered in due time once our guest of honor has arrived." He paced back and forth in front of me with his hands behind his back.

"Are you going to hurt me? How long have I been out here?" I needed answers.

"No, hurting you would be too easy. Well, too easy without your precious Paul here to watch me do it. I find it to be more thrilling that way. But don't worry. If my calculations are correct, he should be here any minute now." His grin was evil, and it made me sick. I should've trusted Paul's judgement on Chaz, and I wish Sam and the rest of the pack did too.

"How do you know he's coming? What happened to your eyes?"

"Just as the Cullen's, I have a special power as well. Now, I may not be able to read minds or tell the future, but I can see things from far away, and watching from the treetops while you slept allowed me to see that he's a little less than 2 miles out. Didn't take him long which just proves how much he loves you. But it sucks that by the end of all this, he'll no longer have the love of his life. Serves him right after all these years of hating one another and him taking you away from me." He continued pacing. "And, the contacts helped cover up my true intentions. No one ever suspects a brown-eyed boy to be a human bloodsucker."

So, that was it. Chaz was in love with me, and having to witness me become Paul's imprint was enough to drive him to kill us both. I should have known.

The sound of a twig snapped behind me, and Chaz's grin grew wider- "Right on time."

A gust of wind blew past me as the frame of Paul in his wolf form jumped from behind the tree line and toward Chaz. Paul was caught mid-air and thrown forcefully to the side with ease.

"PAUL!" I screamed. Paul regained his stance, and his eyes looked over to me before letting out a small whimper.

"How rude. Not even a 'hello', Paul?" Chaz sarcastically stated as he moved in closer to Paul. "Where are the rest of your mut friends?" He sneered.
