Sam had lived his whole life trying to be the opposite of his father.
Sam couldn‘t calm down enough to go with Sue to the hospital, and he hated that, as he was already racked with guilt.
This was a more sensitive issue than Emily had imagined. Sam had lived his whole life trying to be the opposite of his father. Just hearing his father‘s name threw him into a rage. Sam had never perfected his control of phasing. He tried to remain calm all the time, but he lacked the ability to calm himself once the fury hit. He realized what was happening with less than a second to react. He tried to move away from Emily, throwing his hand up to warn her away. Emily didn‘t understand; she thought he was trying to avoid her words. She stepped forward, refusing to let him back away from her accusations. When Sam burst into his wolf form, he took up much more space than he had as a human. His hand, still extended to warn Emily, turned into massive claws, which raked down her face and right arm. Emily was knocked unconscious by the blow.
Sam, believing that he had killed her, was frantic. He could not control himself enough to phase back into human form. Luckily, Jared was in his wolf form at the time and heard Sam‘s hysteria.
He swiftly contacted Paul, and then Sue Clearwater, who, as a nurse, was the perfect person to help. Paul drove Sue to the scene while Jared went on foot, in wolf form. Jared revived Emily and Sam paced and hovered while they waited for Sue. Sue stabilized Emily and then got her to the nearest hospital. She told the attending doctor that Emily had been mauled by a bear. Sam couldn‘t calm down enough to go with Sue to the hospital, and he hated that, as he was already racked with guilt.
Sam eventually calmed down enough to become human again. He was desolate and wanted to die. Jared kept him updated on Emily‘s condition, which was not critical. The next afternoon, Jared told Sam that Emily was asking for him. Sam went into Emily‘s hospital room and saw her face covered with bandages. They both already knew that she was scarred for life.
Sam asked her to tell him to kill himself so that he could escape the misery; he couldn‘t even commit suicide without knowing for certain that this was what she wanted. But Emily had asked for him to visit because she knew how horrified he would be and how unintentional his action had been. She didn‘t want him to blame himself for what was truly an accident. She had already forgiven him. She also had realized, as she lay there in the hospital, that the one person she really wanted there with her was Sam. She felt lonely and incomplete without him.
Sam was never able to forgive himself entirely, but he put those feelings aside as much as possible to make Emily happy. Emily no longer fought the relationship. She called Leah to tell her about the change in her feelings; due to the need for secrecy, she was not able to explain herself well. She begged for forgiveness, but Leah refused. Leah‘s pain was a difficult thing for both Emily and Sam, but their relationship progressed easily from that point; they found it effortless to be close both emotionally and physically.
As the pack grew, Sam struggled with his role, sometimes being too slow to take command, other times going too far with his authority.
Embry Call joined the pack, and then Jacob Black. Embry was a surprise to everyone, but Jacob was expected, as he was descended straight from the last Alpha wolf, Ephraim Black, and Sam had been waiting for him to take his place as the new Alpha. Jacob was opposed to leading the pack, and insisted that Sam stay in charge. Sam, who had been the acting Alpha up to this point due to being the first to phase, was now the official Alpha, with all the power that entailed.
As the pack grew, Sam struggled with his role, sometimes being too slow to take command, other times going too far with his authority. He tried hard to balance his leadership and do the best for his pack.
