Prologue. (Leahs POV)

If I could go back in time, I would never change one thing of what happened in the past. My past, as you probably know, was full of misery, tears and pain. Sometimes I would wonder if it was my fault, about the fact that I was a magnet for bad luck. Now I know it was all just destiny. And it was all very worth it. My life as it is at the moment, couldn't have been more perfect. Yet, I would not want to re-live those past 20 years. It was now the 23th of June 2038 and I was still 20 years old. Well… I looked like I was 20 though. We moved a few times, since people would start to wonder why we never change. Nonetheless, I was back here. At the same spot where I would always come when I needed some rest or peace. Because this was the place that had known every single emotion of mine.

This little, beautiful place knows just as much about me as God does, which freaked me out just a bit. To be here, after all those years… the feeling was indescribable.

The sun was just coming out, giving the sky its beautiful orange and pinkish color that I loved. The morning had brought its soft wind. I barely felt it, but still I was left with dozens of tiny little goosebumps. How did everything change so much yet it all stayed the same?

Well, this little part of heaven stayed the same, that's for sure. The water was crushing the cliffs with force, which probably would've been scary to a human, but for me? It was inviting me to jump right into it. Maybe I could jus- My thoughts were interrupted when I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist, pulling me down with him and suddenly all that I felt was gravity working as I was falling down the cliff. My back hit the water causing the water to pull me down as deep as possible. Soon I was out of breath and peddling my feet to get to the surface. As I was coughing all the water out, trying to catch some air to fill my lungs with, so I obviously wouldn't die because of this lunatic, I could hear him laughing his ass off behind my back.

So now this was funny?

I turned around, splashing as much water as I could straight in his face before I yelled : "Are you crazy? You could've killed me, what in the world where you thinking?!"

The only answer I got were chuckles… this really wasn't amusing at all. Using my strength I lunged at him, pushing his head down. Wow, even beneath the surface I could hear his annoying laugh. I gave up and started to swim back to the beach. As soon as I got out of the water, I started to wring out my shirt and hair, but I heard him again. Okay, so I lied. He didn't have an annoying laugh. He actually had an amazing laugh and my heart stopped every time it hit my ears. Looking at him with my famous 'Stop-before-I-kill-you-'look, he finally answered my question from before.

"Well you were considering jumping in the water, so I thought, why not help her?"

Damn the werewolf connection.

"How did you find me, anyway?" I asked as I sat down on the beach. He soon followed my lead and sat down next to me, placing his hand on my thigh.

"How could I not find you?" He smiled at me, before placing a soft kiss on my lips.

I sighed, resting my head on his shoulder. He was right, he was so right. You see, ever since that one night, there was no more 'mine' and 'his'. It was all 'ours'. Next to the material things and the whole 'in-laws', we also shared not only feelings but thoughts as well. It's like, everythng I felt, he did as well. We could feel each other. This only made our relationshp even stronger. Also, could we, not only in werewolf-form, but also while we're human, hear each others thoughts.

Nobody knew where that came from. Some say it's normal, others say it's because we have an amazingly strong connection. I, personally think it's because nothing's normal in this world anymore, at least not in ours.

So the place where I was a few minutes ago, before this idiot threw me of a cliff, was now also his place. Thinking back now, I realized how many times it was just me and him out there. He knew I would be there. Of course he did. I didn't mind him being around, not at all, but I did miss the 'privacy' sometimes. Considering that I don't like the fact that he knew everything now. That he knew how madly in love I was with him and how scared I still am that maybe, even now, I would lose him.

"Stop it, Lee." He murmured, kissing the top of my head. I pushed him away.

"Stop reading my mind you douche, like being around Edward isn't already enough for me." He just laughed again. *Heart stops for a sec.*

He stuck out his hand and I placed mine in his, noticing how perfect it fitted.

"You know what's weird? After all this time, I'm still not used to the fact that you and I are together. It's like being asleep and being scared I'll wake up from this dream." He said as he was playing with the ring on my finger. Even the ring was his. Everything was his.

They told me it was not normal, not healthy and insane that I was so attached to this guy. But I didn't listen. Never did, so why start now? They didn't know anything about our relationship, but they like to pretend they do. But this wasn't just love, I was aware of that. I knew it was way more powerful than just a simple crush. It was the kind of love that could kill you mentally, when you're not around that person. It's almost frightening... almost. I failed many times at trying to explain that to them, they were still saying I'm crazy for giving him my all.

What most of them didn't get, was that it wasn't because he asked or I was obligated to do this. It was because I wanted it too. I wanted to give him everything. And even now, I felt like it was too little. Like it never would be enough. Not for him, not for me. But like it is at this very moment, it was all just… perfect.

"Well, I did marry you for a reason, Alpha, better get used to it. The sooner, the better."

I know that what I think is the opposite of what I say. But I'm just terrible at saying what I feel out loud, besides he already knew way too much… what a jerk.

Then something changed, he straddled me and suddenly he was on top of me, kissing my neck. I couldn't help but laugh. He was always good in changing his mood. One minute he was all serious and romantic, the other he was the grown up man, trying to claim his wife for like the 183th time. I did moan though, when he kissed the place underneath my collarbone where the tattoo had made itself a part of my body.

"I still like it a lot." He answered my thought about the tattoo.

"Hm, bet you do." I beamed and started to run my hand trough his hair.

"Well, at least Sue is cool with it now."

We both laughed, remembering the day I got home and she saw it. The woman started chasing me with a knife, lecturing me, telling me how irresponsible and stupid I am. Her exact words: "How could you do this to me? Why, for once, can you not be the daughter I want you to be and make me proud?"

Now you know where I got my 'going-crazy-in-less-than-2-seconds' from.

That day I did regret it a bit, because it was really unexpected. But as the days were passing by, I realized that the tattoo would suit me just fine. And I loved it now.

I looked up at him, placing my hands on each side of his face.

"I love you." It came out as a whisper, but I knew he'd understand me.

"Lucky for you, I love you too. My beautiful woman." He smiled again before leaning down and kissing my tattoo again.

He probably loved it more than I did. Because it was against all odds and destiny, still I always believed that one day I would become exactly that what the tattoo read. And now I am.

Black.

I was Leah Black.

A.N.

So as I was writing this in a hurry, I realized it's more a epilogue... but okay, let's try it out tho, next chapter will be the first chapter of this story and it will start at the beginning of it all (after the Volturi-battle). I warn you already, this is a Blackwaterstory, as you maybe already figured out. There may be a lot of times you might think it won't end well, but it will, no worries. I would actually like to focus a little more on the wolfpack, because S.M. didn't mention them that much... which sucks. So there probably will be some chapters that are written in some others POV instead of Leah or Jacobs. Also, I'm from the most amazing part of the world, Balkan, so my English is probably like... awful but still, I'll try to make something out of it. R&R.

Muchos lovos,
