Chapter one: The big bad wolf

Seth Clearwater has had enough. He's had enough of vampires, he's had enough of La Push, and he's most definitely had enough of dealing with imprinted werewolves. Specifically his pack leader Jacob Black who was cooing with Renesmee in the corner of the Cullen house completely oblivious to the world. If Seth had his way no one would ever imprint, because they all turned into sniveling over protective guard dogs. Quil with Clair, Sam with Emily, and now Jacob"Yo man are you coming or not?" Seth said for the nineteenth time. They were already late to the movie."yeah yeah in a minute" Jacob replied, but that's the same thing he said two hours ago. Seth couldn't take it anymore.

The smell of the vampires was nauseating, his sister was arguing with Bella in the kitchen over blueberry muffins or something, and he was pretty sure Edward Cullen was listening in on his every thought. How did you know? Yes Edward was indeed inside Seth's head. Seth didn't like the feeling, never had. Mind reading was intrusive. Seth made sure to deliberately think of things Edward would rather forget like the time he'd left Bella to fend for herself, and she'd kissed Jake. He could hear Edwards growl, and knew the vampire saw every bit of information Seth wanted him to see. Take that blood sucker. Seth had never been against vampires, in fact he and Edward have shared numerous battles, and were for the most part comrades.

Lately though Seth couldn't take much of anyone. He'd been to long without a fight, to embarrassed to admit he was lonely, and the happy couples all around weren't helping. There was of course Edward and Bella, Jacob, and Renesmee , all Cullen's sisters, and brothers, and his adopted parents, and now Seth's mom was about to tie the knot with Charlie Bella's dad. Leah of course was happy to be alone. Things had gotten so much better for her since being split from Sam's pack. She smiled more, and laughed a hell of a lot more. Leah was just happy to be herself at the moment and Seth couldn't be more happy for her, but he couldn't help feeling something was missing from his life. Maybe you just need some time to clear your head. Why not take Leah's patrol, and run off some frustration. Edward offered not that Seth had asked for his advice, but running in wolf form had always seemed to calm him down. Tell Leah she can continue playing with your Bella. He could practically feel Edwards pride and smug smile in his head at the mention of his Bella.

Seth ran out into the clears as fast as he could, and took off his clothes. He was always careful about not ripping his clothes while phasing. All he needed was a charge of indecent exposure to add to his list of ever growing problems. Being in wolf felt more like being home rather than being an uncontrollable animal. In wolf form everything felt clear, fresh, and new. He could feel the sweet earth under his paws. He took a big whiff trying to capture the smell of mountain air through his keen sense of smell, but instead caught an familiar scent. Blood.

Before Seth knows it he's racing through he forest. What's wrong. Edward sounds panicked. I'm not sure yet, but I'm going to find out. Seth thinks back to him. He should know by now not to worry, but Edward is sending Jake, and Leah anyways. Seth doesn't argue with him. He just keeps following his feet faster, and faster jumping through bushes, and trees until he stops dead in his tracks. Up until that moment Seth had seen some pretty gruesome things, animals ripped apart, vampire bodies being burnt, and Leah when it's her time of the month all that he could take, but nothing could prepare him for seeing the cut up naked body of a girl laying in a bloody creek or the shock that she was his imprint.

Seth could somehow feel it in the air, felt the heavy steel cables of the universe bind him to this girl instantaneously. His heart is racing, burning with horror, and anger, but most of all fear. Without a thought or caution he's beside her phasing back to normal. She's still breathing. He can just barely see the rise and fall of her chest, but it's enough. He pulls her out, and cradles her close. She's freezing, and there's no time to think of anything else. He's got to get her to Dr. Cullen. She could be an enemy. She could be a part of some elaborate trap, but it didn't matter. Nothing mattered, but saving his imprint.

Edward, and Dr. Cullen met Seth at the door." Jacob, and Leah are checking the perimeter. Put her on the table." Edward barks. Seth put her down and for a moment fights the urge to gouge their eyes out for seeing his girl unclothed, but he quickly pushes the feeling aside. There was no other way. She needed help. Edward hands Seth a pair of sweat pants that reek of vampire, but he puts them on anyways to be polite. Carlisle already set out some electric blankets, and heaters. Alice, and Bella were setting up the IV. Seth is shaking from head to toe. He couldn't loose her not just after he'd found what he'd been missing. How would I survive? As if sensing his complete and utter hopelessness Renesmee wordlessly comes up behind Seth slipping her hand in his, and sends him comforting pictures. How could I have taken these people for granted? Seth asks himself. Because no one ever knows how lucky they are until something bad happens. A voice said. A voice that didn't belong to the pack or Edward.
