Last chapter: I decided to go take a swim after a little bit of conversing with the 'guys'. I felt eyes on me the entire time but whenever I searched for them it was gone. I shrugged it off diving in again.

Paul POV

We just arrived at the beach after Quil got a call from Jake. I hopped out of Jared's Jeep and fist bumped Jake. My nose twitched as the salty wind hit it but there was something there, something sweet? I ignored it until Jake spoke up.

"Okay guys so my cousin is over there, she's new to town and doesn't know. So just be friendly and play nice." He said and then the boys all started play punching him. My mind was occupied by the smell of lavender that my nose distinguish from the wind.

"Come one guys." Jake said shaking them off as we all started walking towards the beach, towards the intoxicating lavender scent. When we reached the spot I looked up and I saw the most attractive girl I've ever seen in all my 19 years. I was amazed. How could someone be this pretty. I couldn't take my eyes off of her. Jake was saying something as the girl nodded and waved at everyone.

"... and this meat head is Paul." He said and the girls face turned towards me. A small gasp left my lips as my eyes locked with her large e/c eyes. Everything seemed to stop as images of my future, my future with her flashed before my eyes. Suddenly there was no gravity, just her holding me to the ground. I would do anything, be anything for her. It didn't matter what I did because she's all I'll ever need. I knew she had to be mine- my imprint. Then she broke eyes contact.

"Hey I'm y/n, and you're the people who dragged my poor cousin into doing steroids." She said humor evident in her silky voice. Her eyes glistened with a mischievous look and she cracked a small smile.

"We don't do drugs." Leah said, clearly sensing the humor of her words.

"Has this guy been saying that?" Jared said, my eyes never leaving the girl as she slightly shook her head to say no.

"No, but I mean come on." She said as her hands gesturing towards all our bodies. "This can't be natural!" She exclamed in that beautiful voice, feelings of joy that she thought I was attractive were crushed with the thoughts of how this meant she thought the others were attractive as well.

"All natural babe." Embry said winking at her. My blood boiled, my ears going red. What did he just say? I knew i would scare her if I freaked out on him so I took the opportunity to shoulder bump in so he fell on his ass. Serves him right I thought happy with my work. Looking up the girl seemed surprised.

"Ignore him." I said while cracking one of my signature smiles. She shrugged it off before turning to Leah and asking her about her workout routine. I couldn't take my eyes away, only glancing to the side when she'd turn toward me, as she smiled and laugh with Leah before they journeyed into the water.

Her beauty was captivating
