To forgive is to forget…

Chapter 1

Leah POV:

Often at times we make mistakes, they may be small or big, but people get hurt so we have to understand the situation and learn to find it in our heart to accept our mistakes, to forgive and forget.

I have always been a good girl, careful to not make any errors in life, but that has never done me any good. My world fell apart and all I could think was if I was cursed or not. My father died, I killed him; and for a long time I hated him for leaving me and keeping the truth from me of our so called 'gift', whilst I roamed this world alone and guilty with his blood on my hands. I hated my mother for never being there for me and taking my cousins side when the love of my life, Sam, left me for my cousin; and I hated him for being so weak and not fighting for me even after I found out the truth about imprinting. My best friend/sister Emily took away all my hopes and dreams and made them into her own, never thinking of the fact that the man that she took by the chain was another woman's everything; she could have asked him to be anything for her, but she chose him as her lover.

Selfish bitch, they are all selfish, my mother and father for taking Sam and Emily's side, and never thinking of what their daughter was going through. All the pain, the confusion, who couldn't understand why she was told that Sam and Emily were just made for each other and that I would have to learn to forgive and forget, Emily was family after all.

And most of all I hated myself and the anger that besotted to my already fragile heart, for becoming a monster, a wolf. I learned that I was the only female shape-shifter in a pack full of immature imbeciles; I learned that I could hear everyone's thoughts in the pack, that I am an even bigger freak than they are that I had cursed my brother to phase too, alongside me. I learned that Sam was the Alpha of the pack and I had to abide by all his rules and regulations, or else! I learned that he imprinted on Emily and still loved me somewhere deep down in his heart; he couldn't help comparing us both and kept thinking of Emily, what he loved the most about her and how he felt guilty about breaking me. I hated the fact that they could hear my bitterness, my pathetic thoughts, my secrets; nothing was hidden from the pack mind. And they hated me in return for being hurt; they never tried to understand.

But what hurt the most that finally broke me, was when my mate left me for another woman. After marking me as his, making me believe that he wanted me, only to then run away to be happy with the leech lover, who he couldn't seem to forget. If it wasn't for my saving grace I would have killed myself years ago, no longer willing to live this cursed life, but I am not that weak minded.

I have learned to forgive over the years, but that does not mean I have forgotten, I will never forget. Never. Deep down I know that there is still a part of me that hasn't forgiven, hidden away from everyone's thoughts, but who said I was ever a saint. They forget that a single woman can bring about anyone's destruction as well as give life, and I will make them remember my pain. I will show them who pulls the reigns here and now.

I am Leah Clearwater, Chief of La Push. And that is a promise that I will by no means, break.
