Hey guys,
so this is my first fanfic and I wanted to play around with a couple of my favourite characters who I personally thought did not get enough attention in the twilight saga. Since I'm new to this whole thing any advice, suggestions and/or thoughts are 100% welcome. Annnnnyyyyways, I hope you guys enjoy this. Thanks for reading!

Preface
It was a rainy day in La Push. I'd been running the same circuit all day, feeling the same tracks through the land beneath my paws over and over. The sun was about to set over the ocean and the small amount of light that had managed to filter through the clouds all day was disappearing fast. Jared was due to take over patrol any second now.
Suddenly a mournful howl cut through the air followed by the chaos of 2 terrified and confused voices in my head. Voices I'd never heard in my head before.
"What the fuck Leah! You've got fur!"
"Seth! Omg dad! Someone help!"
I watched through my newly phased brother's eyes as Harry Clearwater bent over, clutching at his chest, struggling to breathe.
Another howl sounded and I felt an urgent need to get to that voice. I needed to help her! It hadn't occurred to me yet that the voice in my head was that of a female. In my panicked confusion I set off at a sprint, something inside me tugging me towards those voices in my mind.
Before I knew it I had arrived at the Clearwater's house.
The sight before me was so painful I was brought to a complete halt. Harry Clearwater was bent over, intensely staring at the 2 wolves before him. Both were small. One a sandy brown colour and the other a beautiful silver. Beautiful? What was up with me today? Since when did I describe my pack brothers as beautiful?
Harry looked each of the wolves in the eyes and solemnly gasped out "Seth, Leah, I love you. You two are my world. My biggest achievement in life. Go and find Sam Uley" the silver wolf snarled at this before Harry continued "he will help you through this. Look after your mum and your sister Seth" he turned now to stare into the silver wolf's eyes and said "Leah? Be happy princess. I love you." And then the spark disappeared from his eyes.
The sandy coloured wolf that I now knew to be Seth Clearwater turned away from his father and ran. He ran straight past me and into the forest, whimpering all the way, the sadness running through his mind was too heavy for me to comprehend and I had to shut him out. Something was pulling me towards the other Clearwater child.
The silver wolf, Leah, gave a long, low howl before turning to wrap her new body around her father while her sorrow ran around in circles through her mind.
"Please god no. Not my dad. I'll give anything. Just bring him back. Please." The thoughts were on a constant loop through her mind.
I must have stood there for a few minutes just frozen to the spot before the wolf turned her head towards me, finally noticing I was there. I caught her green eyes with my own and stumbled back a few steps.
I knew then that I would do anything to take that desperate, miserable look from her eyes. I'd be anything for her. Do anything for her. I was a goner. I had imprinted on Leah Clearwater. My alpha's ex girlfriend. He was going to tear me limb from limb but I couldn't bring myself to care.
She stared back at me, confused. She hadn't heard my feelings, being so swamped under by her own grief. I was vaguely aware of my other pack brothers phasing in and going to Seth, helping him, but I couldn't focus on that.
All I could do was walk carefully towards my beautiful silver wolf and wrap my body around hers, attempting to take her grief from her.
I don't know how long we lay that way. My imprint whimpering, wrapped around the dead body that used to belong to her father in her wolf form, me wrapped around her, but it felt like an eternity.
Finally, some time later, she was able to step away from her father's body and the pack surrounded us, taking care of her. I knew instinctively that she needed this and so I let them teach her about her new life and I hid my imprinting from the pack.
Later that night (probably closer to the next morning) when the pack had given up on Leah changing back human that night (Seth had successfully phased back a few hours earlier) and gone home to get some rest, I went out in my wolf form. I found her curled up on the forest floor. I tried to speak to her and I felt through the imprint bond that she couldn't deal with knowing about it yet. I knew she needed me to be a friend so I decided then and there that I wouldn't tell about the imprint her until she was ready. I wouldn't tell anybody.
It broke my heart to walk away from her that night but I couldn't find it in me to deny her when she ordered me away so she could deal with her grief alone.
For weeks after that night, I tried to get closer to Leah but the imprint bond told me I wasn't what she needed at the moment. Whenever I was around she couldn't help but remember me wrapped around her the night her father passed away and pain would flood through the bond.
So I distanced myself from her. I loved her. She seemed happier when I wasn't around. So I stayed away. She was happier and I was dying on the inside.
I didn't realise then that the pain would only get worse for the both of us.
So that's the preface. I don't know if this is good or not. Please let me know what you guys think. Should I continue? Thanks again for reading xo
