My version of Leah and Twilight. Werewolves+ magic involves. Leah never a werewolf but she knew of their existence and imprinting. Sam imprinted on Emily and left her. Everyone saw her as pathetic. Life could be worse? Of course it does. WARNING: I changed the plot & characters. OOC. If you felt the urge to kill me, then please ignore this story. I'll try to correct any mistakes that I find as well.

Chapter 1 :: Sorry, Sorry, Sorry

A month gone by. That's how long it was since Sam told me he and I could never work. Of course I begged, cried and even told him I could be anything he wanted me to be as long as he never left me. I would change for him. He's the love of my life. The one and only man I ever loved.

He said no.

Three years of our love was nothing to him. We were even together the night before, making love, whispering words of love and promises for each other. It's gone with a puff of smoke. Or in his case, a puff of fur ball. I knew he was a werewolf. It shocked me at first as those things were legends. People knew legends were myths. Surprise, surprise, they're real like you and me. He didn't tell me of course as it was supposed to be a secret. And, I found out in a worse way to begin with.

After the whole dramatic break up, I went to visit Emily at her house after her bear attack. Seth wanted to tag along. I knew he was worried about me. He was the only one though. Mom didn't say a word about this. Emily's front door was opened when we arrived. Seth just raised his eyebrows but I didn't say anything. She's probably in the kitchen, cooking like she always did. True enough, she's there. So was Sam. And, they're sucking each other's face, oblivious to us.

I didn't know how long I stood dumbfounded. I didn't realize when Seth was attacking Sam, swearing on the top of his lungs. I only noticed Emily's teary face and she was taking a step towards me. I stepped back and saw the boys still fighting.

"Seth, stop!" my cry went unheard. Sam looked like he's winning but Seth didn't want to give up either.

"No, Leah! It's dangerous!" Emily cried from behind, pulling my arm. I pulled it away. She's touching me after making out with my ex? Be reasonable woman!

Seth and Sam were still fighting. Next thing I knew, puff, Seth changed! In his place was a huge sandy wolf. And, that wolf was panicked and thrashing. Then, even Sam changed into a giant black wolf. He pushed Seth into the woods. I turned to look at Emily whether she changed too. She just stood there with a look that I didn't understand.

"Come inside Leah," she pulled my arm gently. This time I lead her. I couldn't process anything anymore after what happened. She led me to a kitchen stool and placed a mug of coffee in front of me. If I were on my right mind, I would be throwing ultimatum to be brought back to a place she was making out passionately with my ex-boyfriend earlier on. But then, tribe's legends came back crashing my head. Wolves, cold ones, Taha Aki, third wife and the sequence of events.

"So you know?" I asked her.

"Yes," she answered shortly.

"Those scars? He did it?" I asked again.

"Yes and I forgive him for that."

I turned to face her. "What?"

"He didn't mean it. Besides, it was my fault. I provoked him and stand too close," her eyes showed that she meant what she said.

She's insane. Of course she did. That's probably why she stole Sam from me. Speaking of which!

"How long were you guys together?" I asked her, not caring the venom in my words.

She looked down. "After- while I was in the hospital."

That long and I didn't notice! Was I a bad girlfriend that he needed to replace me? With my best friend! My cousin! Her of all people!

"I know I can't make you forgive me Leah. But I did try to resist him. I really did," her lips quivered when she said that. "In the end I know love him and he loves me too much to be apart anymore. I'm sorry! I don't know how to make up for that."

I took a deep breath, trying my best to control my anger. I didn't even move because I knew if I did I might end of slapping, punching or doing whatever it take to appease my anger on her. Even speaking was enough to make me more angry right now. Sam and Seth appeared at the door, along with two of friends, Jared and Paul. I fought the urged to do something stupid and the mug in front of me was like begging to be thrown to his head. I watched the steam from the mug, trying to clear my head which a very hard thing to do right now.

"Leah, I want to speak to you," Sam said. Emily stepped out from the kitchen while Jared and Paul dragged the reluctant Seth. He took a seat in front of me. After minutes of silent, "I'm sorry."

"Whatever," I tried to stand but he grabbed my arm. His burning touch hurt me, I yelped in surprised and he quickly let go. I could hear Seth's voice in the living room, wanting to be in the kitchen as well.

"I'm sorry," he said again. "But there's something you need to hear."

"That you're a wolf?" I asked him.

"Yes and why we broke up," he said.

"It's because you love my cousin," I stated the obvious.

"Damn it Leah! Yes and there's more than that!" he growled. For the first time, I was scared of him and he noticed it too. "I'm sorry."

I took a deep breath. My chest started to hurt. "I want to go home now."

"You will but you need to listen first."

This time I just sit down and listen as he told me on his two weeks disappearance, his transformation, returning, founding his imprint, Emily.

"Imprint?" I interrupted without even thinking.

"It's how a wolf finds his mate. In my case, Emily," Sam's eyes lit at the name of Emily, constricting the pain in my chest harder.

"Why Emily? Didn't you love me? Shouldn't you imprint on me?" I asked, holding back traitorous tears.

"I did love you but like I said, when I looked into her eyes, everything else didn't matter anymore. She does. I did try to imprint on you but it never happen"

This time I couldn't stop the tears. "So my love- our love was never real."

It wasn't a question but it's a fact.

"No, it's real. I did love you!" he ran his hand through his hair. "But I just couldn't feel it anymore. Emily and I didn't have control on this. Fate decided that I imprinted on her so I did. We know we hurt you but both of us belong together. I don't know how to make up for this. I am really sorry."

I tried to calm myself. I must look hideously crying and I need to save every last dignity that I have left. Fate is cruel if you ask me. I lost the love of my life and my best friend at the same time.

"Is that all? I want to go home now," I wiped the tears away. He tried to wipe them for me but I cringed away.

"Yeah," he said, looking defeated. I bolted as fast as I could. Seth was quick on my heels. He wore a cutoff pants, probably given from Sam considering he shred what he wore before. We walked for quite distance until he pulled me into a hug. I stood motionless but tears started working and next thing I knew I cried on his shoulders.
