Chapter One
Jacob swallowed. 70 years ago he would have shifted. 70 years ago he would have been mad. 70 years ago he would be concentrated on the thought of vampires never leaving the Quileute land. But now seeing, Leah not five years older than when he left…
"I'm sorry." Jacob muttered. "That…" That being watching everyone grow old and die. Watching their kids grow, shift into wolves, then grow old and die. Feeling what imprinting is but never finding your own. "That must have been horrible."
"Yeah." Leah's eyes narrowed at her former Alpha. Voice dry but hard. "It is."
Silence. The Cullens were giving them privacy. Unpacking but avoiding the kitchen.
Jacob closed his eyes, nodding. He reviewed the information. It had taken 3 years for the wolves to start aging. After four years of peace nomadic vampires started to pray on Forks. When the wolves killed that coven they returned to their lives only to have another coven attack. Sam and the others stayed out of it wanting to age with the family, letting the new wolves protect them. Leah stood with the pack, throughout these attacks. Leah watched her friends grow old and die. Jacob could only imagine Bella dying of such age, though impossible it was heart breaking.
"There been good times too." Leah interrupted, "We have more females in the pack. The one you already met in mine is my godchild." Her smile grew fond, "The second female in the packs had a crush on me. It was refreshing to date for awhile. Hehe." Leah shook her head laughing. It was fun, "You should have heard the boys thoughts about it."
"They must have enjoyed it."
"Enjoy trying to watch or enjoy the beatings of getting caught?" Leah paused, recalling the memories. The thoughts of the boys, trying not to fantasize while wolf or accidentally wondering. "She mauled them. Good too because I was going to do it myself." The endearing smile ended. "But when another Alpha told me one of his boys imprinted on her we had complications. They met, lived on the same block but…"
"She never imprinted on him." He finished sofly.
"Never did. But she chose him eventually." Leah paused, leaning back. "She had twins. Both wolves." Her eyes shifted up. Now worried, slightly scared. Jacob swallowed knowing the next question but not the answer. "Will I… Do you think I will imprint?"
"I don't know."
Jacob was then silent. Trying to remember how painful loosing Bella was. Then trying to imagine loosing Renesmee. Trying to see her in someone elses –A women's arm was heart breaking. He pushed the thought aside, glancing up at Leah.
Her eyes were different. So much like Sam's those many years ago. Hard, very hard and very cold. Her voice just the same, ordering. Sam's eyes only soften at Emily. Jacob's own heartache left when he saw the newborn Renesmee.
"So…" Jacob's eyes focused on Leah who was taking a deep breath. Her noise twitched and lips part in a snarl. So subtle it was unconscious. "How's living with the leaches?"
Crack! Jacob sighed looking at the ground floor ceiling, where Rosalie had broken a chinaware.
"Well…They aren't that bad." Jacob answered just as slow as the smile spread across his lips. Living with Renesmee was one of the most exciting decisions he'd made. Deciding to marry her was another one of his best decisions. Made everything he went through worth it. Most of the times.
"I'm talking about the entire Pac –Cov –Cullens." Leah corrected quickly.
Life with the Cullens wasn't anything like Jacob thought it'd be. But then again he didn't think he'd fallen in love with a vampire. Jacob imagined wild animals, but his pack was far more wild than the Cullens. And Renesmee was never evil. She was innocent and–
"Not just your imprintee. So get that smile off your face."
This only made Jacob smile widen before he answered. "It was… It was normal, until Nessie and I went to school with the rest of the family. Imagine, being 23 and raising your hand to go to the bathroom. School just felt so weird after 7 years." He paused.
Those seven years with Renesmee was all about her. Protecting her. Teaching her. Hunting with her. Just her. Whenever he first went to school he felt lost. So much people around him after living in solitary with the vampire's for years. He almost attacked a teacher for some reason he can't remember. It was over 50 years ago and he pushed it out of his mind the very second it ended.
Jacob could feel his cheeks cramping, muscles a bit sore from smiling to frowning so fast. "I think they actually need to go to school. Help keeps them –us… human." The laugh Leah gave reassured him. It was a bark. Harsh and cold bark.
"That makes sense." She muttered, eyes drifting to the floor. Hallow. Jacob noted. Her eyes were so painfully hollow. He felt this throat tighten and tried to swallow. This was the reason they imprinted. They needed someone there to keep them sane, to keep them from falling. To keep them human.
This life was killing her. Endless fighting for no one –Or does she have some? If it was it's not enough. She needed a break.
"You should come to school with us." Jacob said, just standing when another chair suddenly hit the counter. Leah moved fast, faster than ever before. If the chair wasn't made for vampires Jacob was sure it would have broke against the marble.
"No." Jacob recognized that voice. He didn't use it, didn't have to with his pack but Sam did. A final order. The firm Alpha's voice. "I need to stay on patrol."
"Leah, your losing it. You need to relax."
"I can't afford to relax!" Leah yelled. Fist pounding on the wooden table, easily breaking it. Jacob heard the two worried breaths before looking at the doorway. Renesmee, his wife and Esme, the loving vampire mother he never had. The concern in their eyes made Jacob relax slightly. But at the rigid breath Jacob looked back at Leah. A look in her angry eyes and Jacob tensed again, ready to shift with out shaking to defend himself and more importantly Renesmee.
"You understand –Or used too." Leah struggled to talk. It was in her shaking voice and conflicted face. The growls had something to do with it though. "The responsibility of an Alpha. Knowing that it's you –Only you." Jacob remembered. The sudden responsibility of two other lives weighed heavy on his shoulders. That was his first reason for denying the Alpha title. "It's unfair! Fucking so unfair!"
"Yes it is unfair." Jacob agreed, trying to keep his voice calm. It was getting difficult with the constant shaking of his body. "There are other Alphas now. You deserve a break." She deserved to find her imprint. If her imprint isn't in La Push, it may be in Forks. Jacob needed to get Leah out of the forest to find out.
"Jake is right." That was Edward's voice. Jacob turned his head so much slower than Leah, who jerked at the sudden intruder. Edward standing with his daughter and mother. His eyes were defensive but his body relaxed. For now. "This is killing you." Edward paused. Eyes now concentrated on Leah. His body tensing slightly, the subtle signs he was mind reading. "You know it."
"This doesn't concern you."
"That doesn't mean we don't want to help." Edward continue to press. "You continue at this rate, your pack will be harmed. Your already hurting them." Then Edward found himself pushed back by a burning shove. By his face Jacob could tell he was shocked. Maybe at the strength, certainly at the speed. Edward expected a harder shove but also a slower wolf.
"I'm going for a run."
"I'm-"
"We're coming." Jacob frowned slightly. His eyes staring intensly at his still slightly ignorant wife. They then checked on Leah. Annoyed verse his wife's determination.
"Like you can keep up."
Leah ran through the forest. Fast but not a sprint. She took deep breaths, eyes focusing in on low branches, roots, and the occasional trap. She took a deep breath, enjoying the earthly smell and the ground being uprooted by her paws. There was a break in the dark forest, a clearing.
Leah jumped into the air, body exploding and imploding as her bare human feet landed on the grass. In a few seconds she heard two bodies tumbling in. Both heavy steps for a human size creatures, far to light for a bear sized wolf. Their –Well, Jacob's breath was hard, quick, and very short. Renesmee's was calmer but still quick.
"Haha! What's wrong Nessie?" Jacob's teasing tone was irritating. Only because it was still endearing. "Getting slow for you age?"
"Say's the 86 year old dog!" Renesmee yelled tackling the half naked bow into the damp grass.
Leah stood in the middle of the field, watching. She would have find it cute if she wasn't in a bad mood. Talking about a painful past and having another decision made for you would do that to a person. At least being an Alpha means that her thoughts finally mattered.
"Ugh! Seriously you two are worse than the pups." Leah scoffed, turning away and walking around. She tried to keep her muscles warm after a run. Cramps as a wolf was still as painful as cramps as a human.
"Someone's a grumpy grandma."
Leah's eyes widen, jaw tightening. She spun around glaring at Renesmee, all in the same heartbeat. A very angry heartbeat Renesmee only smiled too. But that smile faded as Nessie looked to the side. Her brows knitting together as her eyes searched for something. "It's one of yours." Leah closed her eyes, letting nothing interfere with her hearing. Heavy foosteps, too heavy for a human. Too quick to be a deer. Falling plants. Roots pulled from the ground. Definitely a wolf.
When Leah and Jacob turned to the direction, a wolf jumped into the clearing. Body shifting a bit messy in the air as she landed not a very good landing. She stumbled to the ground before Leah could catch her. "There –wolves… Can't breath –Li –Light head…ed." Leah quickly reached out, grabbing bare shoulders to keep her Beta from swaying. Her head rolled back, mouth wide as she took in gulps of air.
"Vanessa. What-"
"Fallow." Vanessa interrupted turning to the bushes and stumbling into a run. "No time to explain." She quickly shifted back, bulldozing down her path leaving Leah no choice but to shift and follow. But with her speed she quickly caught up to the wolf.
"Vanessa."
"Werewolf." Vanessa's voice tingled into Leah's mind with energy. Worry, anxious, pure adrenaline over a normal thing. "No! It's… It's not normal. It was a real werewolf." Real werewolf. Dangerous, wild. Leah glanced up at the night sky. The moon barely visible in the cloudless spots and thick trees. Dangerous…
"Jake, take Nessie away." Leah didn't both to look behind her shoulder. She heard Jake following, Renesmee on his back since she couldn't keep up. "We have a real werewolf."
After a few seconds Jacob answered, "Fine." His voice wasn't cheery but wasn't angry either. He wanted his wife safe first. Leah heard and felt the ground being uprooted at Jake's hard turn.
"Jake?" Renesmee questioned in a soft whisper. "What's happening?" It grew softer and softer as Leah and Vanessa dashed away.
"Finally…" Another wolf breathed a sigh of relief. With the pack telepathy Leah was quickly updated. Several members surrounding the apart werewolves but none of them clearly describing the creature. They reported that it wasn't alone a vampire and human was with them. Five werewolves, fighting over several killed deer.
They heard the growls, deep roars that was louder than their own. Heard the fighting and snatching jaws, all clues to slow down to a silent stalk. So that's what Leah and Vanessa did. In seconds they stood with another wolf. Their furry heads taking a peek into the clearing. There at the center of the clearing was the dead deer, ten.
The creatures fighting were nothing the stories and movies shown. Three werewolves all attacked the largest, golden amber. The Alpha. He easily stood his ground, Actually standing as normal as a human or other primate, with his back straight and long arms at the side. Paws grown into a rough shape of a human, able to grab and throw and slash.
"So, werewolf or vampire?" The voice drew Leah's eyes to a fallen branch being used as a bench. Face covered in skull like mask, leaving everything below the noise visible to the public. The human was unafraid, casually glancing at the vampire then back to the fifth werewolf.
"Werewolf." She nodded, "I still have my magic-"
Magic?
"-don't need to worry about walking around humans or sparkling in the sun." That was a softly French accented voice. "I have more freedom."
"Being an animal looks fun-" The… humans voice had a French accent, very soft when compared to the vampire's American voice.
"Don't move, Niki!" The human yelled. With a grumbling growl the werewolf shifted back into position.
Leah finally looked over the final werewolf. There the werewolf stood, reaching for the moon with massive paw hands. Her heart tugged, pulled her closer to the dark sea-green creature. Water rushed into her ears, the roaring blocking out everything but her. The world just shrunk. Only her and that creature, intelligent and passive enough to model for the drawing artist.
"Leah…" Was that Vanessa's voice? Just her worry and shock or the entire pack's? Maybe her own? "You… You imprinted." Some of it was definitely Vanessa's own.
"Leah!!" Jacob's voice was just a whisper into roaring waves.
Still Leah couldn't think. Her eyes could pull away from the werewolf. Her imprint.
"Nessie!! Leah, Nessie- She's-"
"Oh my…" It was only when Leah's imprintee moved, Leah moved herself. Everything came rushing back to her, falling into a larger world. The voice was familiar, slightly. Renesmee, who now stood at the very edge of the clearing. Wide eyed and jaw open big enough for… certain things. "Wow…" She was breathless and unmoving. Unlike the werewolves.
They all slowly rest their paws on the ground, stalking as normal as another wolf. Their pace was slow, tense and low. Leah felt her own body tense, realizing her body was in a similar position. Telepathic pack connection check, every other wolf was in the pouncing position.
Even Jacob who just jumped between the werewolves –Who are even bigger than him –and his wife. He growled, loud like thunder where grass beneath him vibrated. The werewolves stopped. In the tense air confusion leaked through. Leah linked her mind with Jacob. His eyes shifted to the dark sea-green werewolf.
All the werewolves reacted, even the human and vampire at the side. Aggression filled the air rather quickly, bodies growing defensive. Still Jacob's eyes never left the small sea green werewolf.
"Leah… You imprinted." His voice was relieved but his mind buzzed with worry. Everyone was conflicted. The most sacred rule was to never attack another's imprintee. But what happens if the imprintee's attack each other. They needed to defend them but the couldn't harm the other. Could they? No, Leah wouldn't allow it.
"If they attack, defend Jacob and Nessie." Uproars burst into minds, refusal and worry. "I'm not some blind obsessed women! Attack if they attack!" Leah growled before she realized it. When she did she could practically see the flames of hell and feel it's heat. Both tracing back to the werewolves.
"Olivier!" The French women's voice was panicked and frighten. Her body bolted to the golden amber werewolf fast, almost inhuman fast. She threw herself onto her werewolf's side, Leah's imprintee and the brown amber werewolf shifted, standing in front of the human. And with that the vampire was between Jacob on the weres with the sound of glass breaking.
"Everyone!" The vampiress' voice was loud. It had to be over the pack of growls and werewolf roars. Leah shook her head, trying to get the roaring water out of her ears. "Wolves, come out, slow!!"
Everyone stopped thinking, or at least tried as they waited for Leah. For once the constant buzzing in her mind stalled. And with a breath Leah stepped into the clearing. Slowly the others followed for a total of eight wolves, counting Jacob the vampire lover. One had been directly behind the human and vampire.
Something small like that was caught by the werewolf Alpha. The golden amber werewolf growled. The human called him Olivier, and from him was a wave of aggression, almost to the point of blood lusting. Leah felt the protective Alpha instincts. She felt her paws landing on the ground and found herself snarling back at a larger canine. The need to protect her pack was greater than the shock of imprinting. For now anyway.
"Oli…" A soft begging whisper. The human patted the nuzzle of the other two werewolves standing in front of her. One huffed, hot air blown from it's noise. Leah's imprintee nuzzled into the touch before backing away. They weren't wild as they thought. If only they weren't as dangerous as they thought. "It's okay. This is a misunderstanding. It's not like they can kill you."
Olivier growled, baring her fangs as her lips moved awkwardly. "No."
"They speak…" Nessie breathed out. "Oh my god-They speak!" There was a spike of annoyance. Olivier stood back onto his hind legs. Nessie tilting her head back to continue seeing the head. "Wow. He's as big as a house-"
"She." The human quickly corrected. She spun so fast, she was definitely not human. "My werewolf is a she. If Olivier was a guy –I would have definitely known." Two werewolves let out soft barks, bodies jerking like they were chuckling, "Shut it you two." Their lips only curled into grins. One bigger and more childish than the other. "You guys collect your food. I wanna talk-"
"No." Olivier interrupted.
"What?!" The human gasped. Leah noticed the spoiled tone and shock at being denied something they wanted. "This is a great chance to study them. This could help the Mages and Werewolves alike!!" She yelled, fist clench. Those bright blue eyes flared and Leah finally noticed the chains the witch wore around the waist. It was only because they moved. "This is a great opportunity for us!! Right Niki!" Leah's dark sea-green werewolf nodded.
"Later."
"Eep!" The witch gasped as Oliver used her snout to lift her off the found and straighten her neck so the Witch slid onto her back. It was a move that was often did in movies. First time Leah saw it in real life. No wolf wanted to be a wolf with their love one. Leah felt the agreement of several other wolves, all watching Olivier sprint out of the clearing, the Witch screaming in protest. Leah watched, her imprintee gazing around the wolves. When the creature walked up to Leah, her heart froze and anticipation skyrocketed.
"Leah, calm down." Jacob's smug voice seeped into her mind but it was even harder to hear the first time. The crashing waves and drumming in ears making her deaf. It was growing louder. Leah felt her body go numb, left only to watch the creature. Everything burning into her memory.
It's triangular snout. The size, the fact that Leah was bigger. The color of it's eyes, the left was a bright sea green. The other a wolfish yellow. When the creature stood on it's hind legs, Leah thought about Olivier. The slight curve of the waist, roundness of her chest and hips was barely there. She imprinted on a werewolf, a female werewolf.
Niki looked over Leah and growled at the wolf behind her. The warning vibe washed through Leah and towards him. Impulse drove Leah forward, tackling Niki back from her pack mate. Cold, freezing so –like jumping into the ocean when she was still human, but comforting soft like how a bed should be. It numbed Leah's mind. She couldn't hear the other's thoughts.
But she could feel the furry arms wrap around her body. She could feel the earth spinning and ground pressing against her as they rolled. They both broke off, low to the ground and ready to pounce. It was only then the growls and roars was heard. Leah felt the worry and heard her pack's thoughts. All while Leah burned Niki's grin into memory. That and the amusement in her eyes that also seemed to fill the air.
"Niki! Play later and carry the deer!" Again Leah was jerked out of the trance by another vampire. Niki huffed a mist of air and turned to the pile of deer, grabbing the last two and following her pack away. This left the vampire with the wolves. When the vampire yawned aggression flowed through everyone's mind.
"Arrogant bitch!"
"Cool it."
"What a day. Sorry but it's been a tough… month for us." The vampire bowed. "But next time we meet, don't jump us. And also, don't even try to pick a fight." She warned walking away. "You'll die." And she gone. Leaving only the sound of breaking glass.
Leah took deep breaths. Her chest suddenly felt so much lighter. The roaring in her ears finally gone and the other's thoughts clear as if they were speaking into her ear. She tried to collect herself. She didn't need the other Alpha's poking at any weaknesses. She tried to push the sudden burst of energy out of her mind. She didn't just find a werewolf pack. She didn't just imprint on a female werewolf.
With one last deep breath Leah opened her mind to the other Alphas. "Alpha meeting now. Jacob, bring Carlisle."
"Why do we need to bring the leaches into this?"
"We are dealing with Werewolves. They know about them more then us."
