Sourcebook
Intro
Emma leaned against the hood of her father's car, arms loosely crossed as she listened to the distant sound of the voices inside coming from the lodge house.
She still felt human... warm skin, a heartbeat, breath that came and went like theirs. Yet there was a part of her, something that set her apart from most of the Clearwaters. Only few were born as Guided. Harry taught her all he could before she was taken at seventeen. Stolen in the middle of the night. Ripped from her land, her home, her friends.
And now after three years, the twenty year old was back. Harry already gave her a warm welcome. They spent hours talking about what she been through. How she managed to escape. Police reports that needed confirmation.
Now she stood at the pack house. She exhaled, letting her gaze drift over the house, listening to the voices inside. Slowly, her gaze toward the tree line. And then she saw him.
It had been a while since she’d last seen him before she was taken, before whatever had changed him. The lycanthropy that claimed most men in Quileute Tribe. They had gotten along well back then; easy conversations that never felt forced, long nights by the tribe fires. She’d wondered what happened to him while she was gone, and now, looking at him, she already knew.
He was taller now, stronger. Barefoot, shirtless like the others, his dark hair messier than she remembered, shorter. His expression shifted the second their eyes met, something flickering across his face too fast to catch.
For a moment, she thought he might say something. But he didn’t. He just stared. She smiled slightly, pushing off the car, "It's been a while..."
