A/N: This is the sequel to The Dimprint so unless you like to start reading from the middle of a series I highly suggest reading that first. This prologue is actually Seth's POV from a section of the ending of that book but I'm sure you would have figured that out...enjoy

"Guess what guys Leah's okay!"Seth exclaimed happily while bursting into the Uley house.

"Leah's back?" Emily's bright voice asked as she began struggling to get to her feet.

"Yeah she just phased and told Jake to meet her. She sounds kind of weird so he's taking some of the guys with him."

"I want to go!"

"What? Em you can't, it could be danger-" Sam began before Emily raised a hand.

"Stop Sam. I want to see Leah before she tries to run off again." Both Seth and Sam sighed. Seth knew that Emily had made up her mind and there was no stopping her. He really wanted to see his sister but he knew that with Emily coming he wouldn't be able to walk very fast.

"Emily I'll make sure she comes straight here to see you-" Seth stopped once Emily turned to glare at him. For a moment Seth wanted to cringe thinking of how eerily similar it was to a Leah glare. He raised his hands in defeat. Once Emily moved to grab a jacket from the kitchen, Sam walked straight to Seth and whispered.

"I need you to guard her with your life."

"I know Sam. I'll pretend she's my imprint." Seth stated like he had heard this order a million times.

"I'll patrol around far enough out to not hurt Leah." Seth nodded just as Emily called.

"Okay I'm ready let's go."

Seth, Emily, and Sam walked for a few minutes together towards the woods near LaPush before Sam broke off from them and ran farther out to phase and patrol. After some silence Emily spoke.

"I'm so sorry Seth. I've just been horrible to you all. I'm not sure why but I just really want Leah to be around for the birth. I'm going to ask her to be the godmother."

"Oh wow she'll love that." Seth said eagerly. "And don't worry about that other stuff. We're all worried about Lee." Emily nodded in agreement. They only walked a few more minutes before Seth heard the growls followed by Leah's voice. Emily heard that part and tried to speed up before she called out.

"Leah!" Emily took a few more steps and the two of them stepped into the area where Leah and the pack were.

"I hear a very pregnant woman attempting to run! Shouldn't you be on bed rest or I don't know, in labor!" Leah called back. Seth smiled being able to see his older sister again. He was confused by the tension filling the air though. Seth was studying his pack brothers' faces when Emily spoke again and Leah approached.

"I know Leah. I just had to see you. Your brother came by and said you were back."

"She refused to stay at home and wait for you to come." Seth said. He didn't mean for it to come out so weary but he was a little distracted by the hostility that Emily wasn't aware of and Leah was ignoring.

"Who's that Leah?" Emily's voice brought Seth out of his thoughts. He snapped to where Emily was pointing. Seth hadn't noticed the girl standing only a couple dozen feet away from them. The girl's head turned in their direction as she started walking towards them. The pack growled. Seth's eyes locked with the girl. For a moment Seth thought he was suffering from an intense bout of vertigo but when he realized he liked it all too much he knew exactly what happened. Leah's gonna kill me. That girl's so hot. I wonder what her name- Seth's thoughts were interrupted when the girl suddenly lunged for Emily at the same time that Sam broke through the trees. He had nearly crushed Emily not to mention Seth's imprint. Seth hadn't realized he had phased. He distantly heard his sister's cries and the pack's snarls but all Seth could focus on was Sam who was now growling at his Panther?! The panther stood over Emily who now lay on her back on the ground. She was alternating between hissing and growling at the pack. Instincts kicked in when Sam went airborne headed for the two females. Seth lunged.

He could feel that he had knocked the wind out of Sam. Sam jumped to his feet and although it looked weird, Seth could tell that Sam was giving him an 'Are you insane?' look. Seth didn't back down. It's times like this when I wish I could hear him still. Seth growled back at his old alpha.

Seth what do you think you're doing? Jacob screamed into Seth's mind once he phased. It was then that Seth remembered the other members of the pack. He was distracted and Sam took the opportunity to pounce on Seth. Sam pinned Seth beneath him and began to snap at him. He was aggressive but he wanted Seth to understand that he didn't want to hurt him.

Jake she's my imprint! Jacob was silent for a moment and Seth could tell that he was alarmed. The pack had run off after the panther while Seth had alternated between chasing and fighting Sam. Jacob called off his pack members but he couldn't communicate with Sam's pack who continued the chase. Suddenly Seth could hear Sam's distant voice.

Tell Seth to stop defending this enemy! She tried to hurt Emily.

You almost crushed Emily! Seth mentally screamed back through Jacob's filtering. Sam didn't respond immediately.

I wasn't trying to, I just caught that other girl's scent and it drew me crazy. Then I saw through Collins mind that she was moving closer to Emily and I snapped. All that matters is that she's taken care of. She's an enemy. Sam's voice grew stronger again.

You hurt my imprint you'll have to hurt me! Seth thought back, his confidence reaching an all time high. Sam hesitated.

Fine. Moments later the other pack seemed to instantly stop moving towards the panther. Sam's voice stopped echoing in Jacob's mind. Then he jumped off of Seth and phased back to human. He ran back towards LaPush no doubt to check on Emily. Seth began running again to find his imprint. He found her in human form sitting in a tree. She glanced from the tree at his slow approach.

"Here to kill me Seth?" Seth stopped moving. He was still in wolf form, his look must have been comical because the girl chuckled. The sound made Seth melt as he phased back to human.

"I know everything Leah knows." She stated reassuringly.

"I don't know how I feel about that." Seth stated while scratching his head. She laughed again. They fell into a comfortable silence despite the fact that Seth had a million questions bubbling inside of his mind and he was naked having burst out of his clothes.

"Aren't you going to ask my name?" The girl asked slightly irritated but Seth could still hear the humor in her voice.

"Oh sorry. I just- uh you threw me off 'cause you already knew my name and well I guess I just forgot-um-" his fumbling caused the girl to laugh even more.

"The name's Tamyra."

"I'm Seth." Seth stated dumbly.

"I know." Seth couldn't help but gaze at the girl while she swung her right leg back and forth in the tree. He started smiling although she didn't notice.

"Where's the pack? Shouldn't they be here interrogating me? Or are you serving as peaceful negotiator this time?" She questioned Seth without looking at him.

"They're around." Seth said dreamily. Tamyra caught the change in his voice and peered down at him.

"Oh no. No no no no no!" She nearly screamed while standing suddenly in the tree. She started to climb even higher. Seth became increasingly alarmed, torn between worrying that she would fall or that she was already hurt.

"I know that look! Oh boy! You did not! How dare you do that?" She had effortlessly climbed another 5 feet up the tree. Seth wasn't quite sure what had her so testy.

"What are you talking-"

"I don't accept!" Seth's forehead creased when she said this. "I know how you guys work! You think you can just go off and imprint on whoever you want and they're suppose to just fall madly in love with you. Not me buddy boy!" Seth's eyes widened with realization at what she was saying.

"How did you know I imprinted on you?"

"Leah's head remember? She's so anti-imprinting that she has the most attuned senses to pick up that look. You were down there staring at me like a five year old staring at an unguarded cookie jar! Well you know what buddy, you're not touching any of these cookies!" She finished having climbed extremely high up in the tree. Seth disregarded her speech becoming increasingly worried.

"Why don't you come back down here? I think if we just talk we could-"

"I'm not coming anywhere with you. So you better just get used to my being up here and your being down there!" She huffed. Seth shrugged.

"Alright."

"Alright?" Seth took one long look at her before responding.

"I'll be down here." Seth plopped down on the ground and leaned his back against the tree. He heard rustling and figured she had decided to sit as well. I imprinted on a cat. The guys aren't going to get enough of this.

"You look ticked off." Seth's head popped up at the sound of Leah's voice. "Seth what are you-"

"They were gonna hurt her!" Seth blurted before rising to his feet.
