The air was calm as it sent a light breeze through me coaxing my fur to its direction. The morning air was cold but my warm body was enough not to make me shiver. It's almost winter now, just a few more weeks and this place would be covered in snow. I was in the forest. Waking up earlier than the others made me impatient and bored so I wandered out for a bit. I was excited for today because we were going to learn how to fight vampires, and maybe even fight them even if it was just for practice.
'Leah,' Jacob called me signaling that everyone was already up. 'We're going to leave in a few minutes.'
'Okay, thanks, I'll head back.' Looking around once more I inhaled the fresh crisp scent of the forest before turning around to head home.
I arrived a minute after Jacob called me. Everybody was already gathered around. I reverted back to human once I entered the clearing. I went to my clothes and dressed up before walking towards them.
"Everybody here and accounted for?" Everyone looked around to see if there were any more missing. All of us were here. Sam then nodded to Jacob.
"We're going to meet the Cullens in the open field of the border," he started, pausing a bit to see if there were any objections in the matter. No one spoke up. "As you already know, in a few weeks time human blood eating vampires are going to come here at our lands and the Cullens are going to help us train and defeat them. The treaty will still stand we still can't harm them or cross the borders. But we have a temporary truce with them. That means that we need to be civil with them."
Some growled at this and I too hated the idea. But at least we can kick some vampire's ass.
"I know most of us don't like the idea but think of it as an incentive. We will fight vampires eventually even if it's not them." Jacob's words got through the others and they seemed to be willing to cooperate. The growls died down and we waited for what we will do next. After all he was the temporary alpha of this pack during this truce.
"Let's go." He shifted into wolf in a blink of an eye and we soon followed. He lead us to the meeting place while we followed behind him.
'Remember, we can't harm the Cullens.' Sam's voice reminded us while we paced ourselves within the forest. He was really strict when it comes to the treaty. He wouldn't want to be the one fixing it since technically he is the true leader of this pack even with Jake temporarily being the head.
A few days ago we were informed that a large group of vampires were being gathered at the nearby state. Rumor has it that they were being lead by the red haired vampire named Victoria. I knew from Jake that the said vampire was in need for revenge since they killed her friend and mate. And now, she's after Bella. I never really liked her especially since she's the root of Jacob's pain. But Jacob insisted on defending the girl and even making a temporary truce with them. Now he's leading the whole pack since it was his decision to do so. He really had something for the girl for him to accept a truce with the blood suckers. Lucky for him the others ears perked up on the idea that we'll be fighting vampires since we really haven't fought any or it wouldn't have been this easy for him to make us agree.
When we got there the Cullens were already there waiting for us.
"It seems they don't really trust us that much coming like that." We dismissed the comment made by one of them as we stood together awaiting instructions. I eyed each and one of them and noted how pale their skin was. As my line of sight moved over the others my vision stumbled upon the smallest vampire of their coven. Immediately I felt weak. The world melted around me and all I could see was her. I inwardly panicked as I realized what just happened. I quickly concealed my thoughts with another hiding it from the pack.
'You alright sis?' Seth, my younger brother looked at me with worry. I quickly told him that it was nothing. Perhaps he didn't really believe me since I responded too quickly but he shrugged and left me alone. Introductions were made by the blonde male vampire as I vaguely recalled their names. There was only one name that stuck in my head.
Alice.
The name of my imprintee.
