I was moving today. I couldn't stay here anymore. I needed to escape. I needed to be free of him so I can try to forget the imprint. It seems like he just ignores it so he can be with Lisa.

"So this is it," my oldest brother, Cal, asked as he came into my room, "You're giving up on him and running away."

"He ignores it," I told him, fighting my tears, "I don't understand why he doesn't feel it."

"You need to be honest with him. He has a right to know," I knew what he was hinting at, "You have to tell him how you feel about him. It's the only way to keep yourself from ending up all alone."

"I can't tell him," I sighed heavily, "I have no idea on how to tell him. He's the one with the way with words. I just know how to show what I feel. That's why he's in a band writing music and I take pictures for a blog."

"Write him a damn letter," he grabbed a piece of paper and a pen, "I will get it to him. Just write him, Liz."

"Fine I'll write something down for him," I replied and caved in.

I was drying up my dogs after a bath when I heard the doorbell ring. Lisa was out at work so I was alone at home. I left the dogs in the bathroom and got the door. I found Cal standing in front of me.

"Cal," I greeted him, "This is unexpected. Come on in."

"I'm not here for long," he told me as he walked in.

"Well what brings you by," I asked him.

"I have a letter from Elizabeth for you," he replied as he handed me a folded up piece of paper.

"Where's Elizabeth," I asked him.

"Just read the letter," he told me, "It'll explain everything."

"Dear Alex, we used to be thick as thieves, but our lives have changed so much in the last nine years. We're not close anymore, and it's killing me. I miss my best friend. I miss my imprint partner. But you are with Lisa, and I have to let you go. I'm moving to Baltimore to live with my brothers Hayden and Michael. Don't come looking for me. It's best that I let you be with her. Even at the expense of my happiness. I love you, Alex. Way more than a best friend. My imprint is not like you'd think of an imprint, of being like a sibling or best friend. My imprint is love at first sight. I fell in love with you when we met as babies. But I have to let you go. Let me go too. Loving Always, Elizabeth Rose Branson.""When is she leaving," I asked him.

"She already left," Cal replied, "She left as I made my way over. I'm sorry Alex."

"I'm so damn stupid," I collapsed onto my couch and grabbed at my hair, "That was why she was upset and pushed me away. She was trying to show me that she loved me and I was ruining it by being with Lisa. Fuck."

"Alex," Cal sat down next to me, "Do you want to lose her?"

"No," I replied, "But she doesn't want me to chase after her."

"Oh no," Cal corrected me, "She's desperate for you to chase her. If you don't chase her down, she'll end up cursed."

"Cursed," I asked.

"When a werewolf comes into the imprint, if the feelings aren't followed the wolf within will take over and try to overcome the grief," he explained, "Alex, if you don't chase her down, Elizabeth could become a wolf forever. And she'll be in pain forever or hunted and killed like a normal wolf. She needs you. Go after her, make her see you care about her."

"But I don't feel my imprint," I told him, "How will I feel it?"

"Maybe this will trigger it for you," he replied, "I don't want to lose my sister. Alex, you are her only hope. You don't have to leave Lisa, just show her you love her and she means a lot to you."
