Sidney's POV

𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗖𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗠𝗬 𝗛𝗘𝗟𝗠𝗘𝗧 on my head, I turn the key in the ignition on my motorcycle, and it roars to life. I straddled the saddle and rode away from my house. I'm on my way to pay Sam and his ''pack'' a visit. They don't even know I'm coming–hell, they don't even know I'm alive. Four years ago, the pack bullied me, including my brother. How fucked up is that? Your blood tormented you once he joined Sam's club.

   The pack bullying me made me so hurt and unwanted that I concluded to faking my death. After Paul and my brother Jacob verbally and physically abused me on a cold stormy night, I've had enough and left Sam's place. As I slowly walked to the cliffs with the pack in tow, I turned to them as they laughed. All of them cackled except for Embry. He was always friendly and caring to me.

I gave them a slight smirk and fell backward off the cliff. Do you want to know what's wrong with that? The only person I saw peek over that cliff was Embry as I fell. Not my brother, whom I would've thought cared for me. Once I hit the water, I swam more profoundly, ensuring that they didn't see me.

   A shiver ran through me as I surfaced and walked on land on the far side of the water. My clothes stuck to my body, and I felt the rain come down heavier–slapping against my face. I sighed, trying to catch my breath as I glanced at the place I used to call home. I wrapped my arms around myself with shaking hands as I headed through the woods until I found a road and began walking wherever my feet carried me. I didn't have a clue where, but I kept on walking.

   All I know is that this won't be the last time they see me.

───◌┈┈───♡⃝───┈┈◌───

   The ride to LaPush, Washington, to Sam's little cabin was peaceful. I got to clear my mind and think of what to say when I see them again after the years I've been away.

Arriving at the little cabin house, I can see everyone sitting down at the table. The sound of my bike made them all look at me. Turning off my motorcycle, I sat there as my eyes scanned everyone standing in front of me: Jacob, Paul, Jared, Sam, and even Embry. A smirk came to my face under my helmet as Sam was the first to speak.

"Who are you, and why are you here?" Sam questioned, and I sighed, shaking my head.

"You guys don't remember me do you?" I inquired and slowly took off my helmet.

Everyone's eyes went wide, especially my brother Jacob's, once my helmet was off. I fixed my dark hair smirking at the shock and disbelief expressions on their faces.

"Sidney?" Jacob asked in disbelief, not believing what he was seeing.

"In the flesh, big brother," I replied, grinning at him.

"What happened to you? We thought you were dead when you jumped off the cliff." Jacob asked, getting closer as if he cared.

"Well, I didn't." I shrugged nonchalantly.

"Where have you been all this time?" Jacob asked, and I sighed.

"Outside of town living with a friend," I respond, stuffing my gloves inside my helmet.

Suddenly a squeal comes from behind the guys. I see Emily running out of her home and over to me. Meeting her halfway, I pulled Emily into a hug and held on tight to her.

"I can't believe you're back. I missed you." Emily beams with excitement, squeezing me.

"I missed you too," I said, smiling at her.

"So, what are you doing back?" Emily asked, pulling away with a smile on her face.

"Wanted to drop by and say hi," I replied, nodding my head.

"Oh, I just made muffins. Come on and eat." Emily proposed grabbing my hand.

"Are you sure?" I questioned unsurely, giving her a look.

"Yes, I'm sure now come on." She nodded, tugging me along.

We followed Emily inside the house and walked past the living room to the kitchen. The boys ran past us and beat me to the table. I looked over to Jacob, pushed him off the chair, and sat down, making the other boys laugh.

"Wow, Jacob, your sister is stronger than you." Paul laughed, grabbing a muffin from the basket.

"No, she isn't." He objected, getting up off the floor.

"How did she push you off the chair?" Jared questioned, picking a muffin from the basket.

"Don't know, and I don't care," Jacob shrugged, shaking his head.

Smiling, I laughed as I grabbed a blueberry muffin out of the muffin basket that sat on the table.

"You guys are something else, and you eat like pigs." I joked, shaking my head.

"Hurtful," Jared responds, making me roll my eyes.

"It's true," I mumbled, shrugging my shoulders.

"Still, it's hurtful," Jared said, and as I glanced over at Embry, I saw him staring at me.

"Hello, earth to Embry. Are you okay?" I asked, snapping my fingers at him.

Out of nowhere, my wolf Sarina started to stir awake. She became alert at the scent of her mate.

'Mate! Mate! Mate!' Sarina screamed in my head. She was jumping around, doing flips in my stomach. So giddy, but I wasn't.

   Oh my god, no. Not Embry, why him? Why now? Out of all people. I can't believe he's my mate. For some reason, it didn't come as a shock to me. It had to do with how he showed me some compassion years ago. Unlike Paul, Jacob, Quil, and Jared, Embry was never mean to me. He was overall friendly to me. Everyone looked at Embry as my heart thudded wildly in my chest. Their eyes went wide and then erupted into fits of laughter.

"Hey, Jacob, looks like Embry imprinted on your sister," Jared announced, and his eyes went wide.

I glanced at Jacob with nervousness in my eyes to see that he looked pissed off. Jacob stared intensely at Embry, and Embry stared right back at my brother, not moving. I could sense my mate was unsure of what to do next.

Jacob's POV

Anger flowed through my veins as I paced back and forth outside and waited for Embry. How fucking dare he imprint on my sister. I know I wasn't the best brother back then, but now that she's back, I want to be better and protect her. My eyes burned holes in Embry's face as I stared at him. Sam stood in between us as he saw the expression on my face.

"You imprinted on my sister?" I seethed, shaking and charging at him, but Sam held me back.

"I'm sorry, Jake, but you know we can't control it." He apologized, shaking his head.

"Out of all people, you imprint on my sister who came back after four years!" I yelled, waving my arms around.

"Well, maybe if you didn't have your head so far up your ass, you would've seen the fucking signs!" I heard Sidney's voice yell at me as she walked out to the back.

"What are you talking about, Sidney? What signs?" I questioned, eyeing her as she stood protectively in front of Embry.

"The signs that he had or has feelings for me!" Sidney yelled in my face, and everyone went silent. "If you weren't so busy following Sam like a lost fucking puppy, you would've seen that he likes me. Embry was the ONLY one who showed me some decency, unlike the three of you."

"Sidney, I-I-," Jacob stuttered dumbfounded.

"You're what? Sorry?" I questioned, cutting my brother off, knowing that's all he could say. "You're sorry for making me feel the lowest of the low? For bruising me up? Huh?!"

"Yes, I-I'm sorry." Jacob apologized, nodding his head.

   I scoffed, not believing him, and turned to Sam. The ''Alpha'' of the pack. "And you. You're just as fucked up as them for letting it happen."

"Sidney, I tried-," Sam began to say, but I cut him off.

"You didn't try to do shit, Sam. You turned a blind eye just like my father did. Why?" I sniffled, wiping my face. "Was it because I wasn't a wolf yet?"

"No, it's not that," Sam replied, shaking his head.

"Then what was it?" I questioned, crossing my arms.

"I don't know. I have no clue why the guys did what they did, but after they told me you leaped off the cliff, and we couldn't find your body, I punished them for it." Sam replied, sighing as he shook his head.

"Oh, yea? What did you do? Send them running through the forest?" I questioned, determined to get my answer.

"I made them do push-ups until they passed out in the rain," Sam said with authority in his tone.

"Push-ups great." I scoffed, nodding my head.

I placed my hands on my head and decided it was best if I took a walk. Hearing footsteps follow behind me, I knew by the scent it was Leah.

"Hey, you okay?" She asked, and I turned to her.

"No, I'm fucking angry, Leah," I complained as I leaned against a tree. "What did I do? I want answers."

"I know, and I'm sorry I wasn't there to help you." Leah apologized, pulling me into a hug.

"It's not your fault." I sniffled, hugging her back.

"I should've done something to help," Leah replied, shrugged shoulders.

"What did I do, Leah? I don't understand." I stared at my friend as tears fell down my face again.

"I don't know. Maybe one day you'll get your answers." Leah spoke as she wrapped me in her arms and held me.

   We stayed there, just basking in the silence until I heard yelling. It had me confused, so I glanced at Leah, and she held the same expression as me. As we got closer to the sound, I saw Jacob yelling in my mate's face. I started jogging but picked up speed as I saw my brother stepping closer to Embry. Having had enough of Jacob being a fucking bully, I tackled him to the ground.

"DON'T YOU FUCKING DARE!!" I roared in his face, pretty sure with my eyes glowing.

   Jacob stared at me with a confused expression as I slowly stood to my feet. I pulled him off the ground, and he dusted himself off.

"I'm sorry, Sidney." Jacob apologized, reaching a hand out to me.

   I glanced down at his hand and then walked inside Emily's house. The silence in the room created tension so thick you could cut it with a knife. No one dared say anything after what happened outside; that was how I wanted it to be.

   More time passed as I continued conversing with Sam and his pack as if nothing had happened outside. My phone started ringing, and when I took it out, I saw an incoming call from Autumn. Getting up, I stepped outside to answer the call.

Autumn🌹🍂- Are you still at Emily's?

Yes, why?

Autumn🌹🍂- Raelynn is going into labor.

Shit, I thought that wasn't until next month.

Autumn🌹🍂- That's what we thought too.

Okay, I'm on my way.

Autumn🌹🍂- Alright, bye.

   Releasing a huff, I stuck my phone back in my pocket and walked inside the house.

"I'm sorry, guys, but it looks as if I have to cut this visitation short," I announced, making them look up at me.

"Why?" Jared whined like a child.

"My friend is getting ready to have a baby, so I have to go," I responded, shrugging my shoulders.

"Will you come back and visit again?" Emily asked, wrapping her arms around me.

"Of course." I smiled, nodding my head. "See you guys,"

   I waved at them as I walked outside, hopping on my bike. It rumbled to life and rode to my house, hidden deep in the woods. Once I arrived home, I quickly got off my bike and ran inside, where I heard screaming from Raelynn's bedroom.

"She's here okay," Autumn said as I walked into the bedroom.

   My first instinct was to comfort Raelynn because she wanted me to be the one to bring her twins into the world. She wanted me to be here and coach her through this tough time in her life.

"F-Finally." Raelynn groaned in pain.

"I didn't expect them to be here so soon," I apologized, brushing her matted hair behind her ear.

"Well, they're COMING!" Raelynn yelled as another contraction hit.

"How far are your contractions?" I asked, grabbing a towel.

"I say they're eight minutes apart," Autumn replied, placing a wet towel on Raelynn's forehead.

Walking to the front of Raelynn, I peeled up her gown and saw a tiny head full of hair. "Okay, listen, are. I see the head, so I need you to give me a good push."

"It hurts." She whimpered, clenching Autumn's hand.

"I know, sweetie, but you have to push for me," I replied reassuringly, looking into her eyes.

Raelynn nodded her head, taking a deep breath and giving me a push. As I saw baby A's head, I softly pulled on it. The shoulders passed through, and she gave me one last big push, and the first baby was born.

"Come on, babe, you can do it. The second baby is right there." Autumn replied, glancing down.

The second baby was right at the opening, waiting to come out. Raelynn screamed and pushed baby number two down. Approximately three minutes passed, and baby Mia was born right after her sister. Autumn helped me clean the twins off before we wrapped them in blankets and set them on Raelynn's chest.

"They're beautiful, Rae," I said, smiling at her as I leaned down to kiss her forehead.

"Thank you, Sid." Raelynn smiled, looking down at her .

There was a knock on the door, and Raelynn's mate Drew quietly walked in and sat beside his soulmate. He gently picked up Kara and kissed her forehead. Drew held so much love and adoration in his eyes as he cuddled up with Raelynn and his daughters.

"Call me if you guys need anything." I smiled, kissing Raelynn on the head. I gave Drew a gentle squeeze on his hand, but before I walked out the door, Raelynn stopped me.

"Water and food." Raelynn gave me a small smile, and I nodded my head.

"Coming right up," I said and left the room.

Walking downstairs to the kitchen, I got Raelynn a cup of water with ice to keep it cold and made her a ham & cheese sandwich with lettuce and tomatoes as she liked. I picked up the plate and cup, carried them up to Raelynn, and set it down on the bed within her reach.

"Thanks again, Sid." Raelynn praised, chewing on her meal.

"You're more than welcome," I replied, leaving her room again.

I wanted Raelynn and Drew to bond with their pups as much as possible, seeing as they're newborns, so I went to my room and washed my hands before relaxing in bed.
