Summary: Pack bonding. So this is what we are doing now? The council had the brilliant idea of sending the two packs on a week long camping trip to try and fix the broken bonds between us and hopefully get the two packs back on speaking terms. Lord help me. This week is gonna suck.
Chapter 1
Here We Go
"Leah did you pack the tent?" I sighed as I shoved the not-so-neatly packed tent into the bag. Really? A fucking camping trip? The council couldn't send us to Hawaii or some shit? But nooooo. They chose camping, for a bunch of wolves who already spent their entire existence OUTSIDE. Brilliant! I get it. The packs shouldn't be at each others throats. We have bigger fish to fry than one another. I chucked the bag's into one collected pile of donkey shit. Lord some of these boys could pack a ton! What the hell do they all need? No doubt they had some naughty magazines in there since they couldn't bring their computers for their desired 'entertainment'. God forbid they not rub one out every night.
"Yeah Black. All packed up and ready to go." I said chucking the last bag onto the pile.
"Leah please stop calling me Black." I knew he hated it when I called him by his last name, but honestly I didn't feel like I was doing my job unless someone was pissed off at me. What more could you ask of a Beta?
"Sure Black. As soon as you stop dating infant vampires." Jacob sighed.
"Leah I've told you a million times now. It's not like that! I'm just her protector right now and that's all I may ever be. I'm a big brother to her and honestly I'd be happy in our relationship never changed."
"Wow, chicks only 5 months old and she's already friend-zoned you. That's gotta hurt." I said smiling at him. He gave me a glare before turning and walking away to begin loading up the car.
"And she may be only 5 months old but she had the brain and body of a 15 year old." Jacob mumbled quietly to himself. I laughed as I grabbed onto a bag and began helping him.
"Whatever helps you sleep at night." Jacob glared at me but slowly the corners of his mouth spread into a wide grin.
"You gonna miss her?" I said taking on a more serious tone. Jacob paused and thought about it before looking back up at me.
"Maybe a little... I don't know to be honest. I've never worried about it that much before." He said shrugging his shoulders. "Alright guys! Is everyone ready, Seth? Leah? Quil? Embry? It's time to head over to Sam's and meet up with the rest of the pack!" The boys came charging out laughing as they stuffed what remained of my moms cookies into their giant mouths. I sighed and pouted. I didn't even get to have one. Little bastards are going to pay for this.
I hopped into the drivers seat only to be yanked right back out by a pair of strong hands.
"No no no Leah. I'm driving." Jacob said smugly as he pushed me aside and hopped in. Bastard. I grumbled to myself as I walked around the car and sat in the passenger seat. The boys piled in that back.
"Why the hell are you driving? This is my fucking car!" I said crossing my hands over my stomach.
"Hush Leah and listen to your Alpha." Jacob said flashing me his pearly whites. I had a half of a mind to punch them right out of his mouth. So I did. But before my fist could connect with his face he managed to stop my hand inches from his face.
"Now now now Leah, I could have gotten hurt. Good thing you were too slow." He was goading me on and he knew it. I was by no means slow. Being the only female wolf into the pack made me smaller then my male superiors. But what they didn't have was my speed, and everyone knew it.
"That was the point." I grumbled as I tugged my hand away from his warm grasp. He smiled and turned from me to look at the road before him. Smug bastard. I huffed and grabbed the water bottle I had sitting in my car. I unscrewed the cap and took a drink. Just then a light bulb appeared over my head. I stole a look towards Jacob and smiled. Catching my glance he turned his attention back over to me.
"What?" He said puzzled. I only smiled back.
"Oh nothing." I said before taking another swig from my water bottle. Jacob squinted his eyes at me before once again turning his attention back to the road. When his head was fully turned I tipped my water bottle straight onto his crotch.
"Oooopsie." I said as the whole bottle drained onto his jeans.
"WHAT THE HELL LEAH!" Jacob said swerving the car a bit before glaring back at me. In that moment the boys noticed what had just transpired and began roaring with laughter. I joined in with them and eventually, so did Jacob.
"You're such a bitch." He said chuckling. I looked over and smiled.
"That's what they call me." I smiled. They really did. It's what I was known for. I was the first female shape shifter in existence. What an honor right? It only cost me my fathers life. I phased right in front of him. His poor old heart was so shocked he had a heart attack and died before he even reached the hospital. It was all my fault. Not only that but I was now apart of a pack where my ex boyfriend, who cheated on me with my cousin, was my new boss. Everyday I had to suffer his thoughts of Emily and then the guilty he felt for hurting me. It was a nightmare. I was trapped. Hurting. Eventually I started taking my pain out on my new pack mates rewarding me with my new name. I was the bitch, the harpy, the she-wolf.
My only big break was when Jacob split of and made his own pack. Seth followed after him that very minute. Later that night I broke away and joined Jacobs pack. Later on I would say it was to keep an eye on my baby brother but in reality I just wanted an escape. A way to break from Sam and his rule over me. So now here I was. A beta in Jacob's pack. I was happier then ever with these boys, though you'd never hear me say it out loud. Of course I still had to keep up my reputation as the biggest bitch in the pack, though now there was more love in the title.
During my long thought process we finally arrived at Sam's place. I sighed as I watched Emily walk around serving his pack lunch. Jacob looked over at me and took my hand in his.
"You'll be alright." I looked down at his hand on mine and smiled.
"I know, but that doesn't mean I have to enjoy it." Jacob just nodded before he got out of the car and grabbed his bags. The boys all followed his lead grabbing their own bags and heading towards the bright yellow home. Slowly I pulled myself out, grabbed my bag and headed over as well. When I neared that porch all of Sam's pack stopped their eating and looked at me. As if I was about to sprout wings and fly. Even my own pack watched me warily as they divided themselves across the front of the house. I put on my best smile and walked straight over to Emily. I could see Sam's tense in the corner of my eye.
"Hi Em, how have you been?" I said taking her into my arms before hugging her. Everyone's mouths dropped at the same time. No one expected that, and honestly... neither did I.
"I-I, I'm wonderful, thank you. And you? How have you been?" She stuttered as she wrapped her arms tightly around me, savoring the moment. To be honest nothing had been the same between my cousin and I since I found out about her and Sam. She was once a sister to me, but after they broke my heart I couldn't bare to look at her anymore. I yelled and screamed at them when Sam told me about the two of them. I told her I never wanted to see her again and that I hoped she'd burn in hell. A week later Emily was mulled by a bear, leaving giant scratches on her face. It wasn't until after I phased for the first time that I learned those marks were from Sam's own claws. I guess you could call it my revenge.
But now I didn't have the energy or desire for hating her anymore. I wanted my cousin back. My friend. My sister.
"Fine I guess. May I sit down and grab a bite?" I said pulling away from her.
"Oh yes yes! Please have a seat!" Emily said escorting me to the table. I sat down next to Jared and across from Paul. They both just stared at me.
"What? You guys look like you just saw the Easter bunny riding on the back of a unicorn." I said with a small smile on my face.
"To be honest I feel like I just have." Jared said shaking his head.
"Me too." Paul said as he shoved another spoonful of potato salad into his mouth. I just smiled and helped myself to a sandwich.
"Still as charming as ever Paul." I said.
"Thanksh." He chuckled and some of his salad fell out of his mouth, but before it could hit the floor he caught it and put it right back in his mouth. At that Jared and I both started laughing so hard we had to clutch at the table for support. As I finished up my sandwich I saw Jacob make his way towards Sam. No doubt it was to talk about pack business. I couldn't help but notice how Jacobs back muscles tensed under his shift as he approached the other Alpha. Seeing this I excused myself from the table and began making my way over to them. Two top dogs in the same place always put me on high guard. I had seen Jacob and Sam fight many times before, sometimes over small things, other times over big things. They were always opposing one another, thinking that their way was the right way. As I neared them Sam's focus instantly switched over to me. He began watching me like a hawk. This was always one of the reasons I hated serving under Sam. He never stopped staring at me. As if he could make me stay and once again be apart of his world. Jaocb, noticing his stare let out a low growl.
"Can we please get back to discussing the list the council gave us. I'd like to get a move on if we could." Sam released his gaze upon me as I came up behind Jacob and stood to his right.
"I'd rather leave first then discuss the list when we get camp set up." Sam argued back. Jacob glared back at him. Boys, I thought. Each trying to hold the power but only making themselves look more and more stupid in the process.
"How about we leave and discuss the list on the way there, because if we don't get a move on soon we wont get there in time, and we'll have to set everything up in the dark." I stated matter-oh-factly.
"Leah's right. We need to get a move on. We have no time for petty squabbles." Jacob said regaining some composure. Sam huffed and nodded before returning to Emily to kiss her good-bye.
"Alright boys lets get this gravy train rolling!" I shouted. Everyone grabbed their stuff before heading out into the forest. Jacob came up behind me and rustled my hair.
"Nice call Clearwater, keep it up and I'll have to give you a raise."
"You don't pay me, moron."
"I don't? Ah well, better for me." He said before giving me a playful shove and tromping ahead to the front of the pack, followed closely by Sam. And so the power struggle begins. I sighed. This is going to be one hell of a long week.
