Summary: A story that chronicles the resurfacing of love between two wolves who were once the best of friends then, it was gone because of one confession. Seth, the wolf that confessed, has been walking with a chip on his shouldar since then. With his former Alpha, whose imprint had passed away after bearing his child, the two moved away for 3 years when they return for Seth's senior year and Emilia's first years of preschool. Seth is known on the internet as the LonelyWolf, where he has over 300,000 subscribers. During the school play, a rendition of les miserables, Jacob, the one who cut the connection, falls in love with Seth. Jacob doesn't know it was his old best friend, and Seth will not go back. Sam, Paul, Jared, Embry and Quil cannot deny the raw attraction to Seth as his voice lures many more less, wanted, creatures to La Push.

I was at a loss for words, the news I just heard had caused my whole body to stiffen and I felt like my heart was about to stop.
That was my initial reaction when Sam had told me we were sending Emilia to the preschool in La Push. We had left there three years ago after Emily, Sam's wife, had died and I had hoped with all my heart that we wouldn't ever come back. This was where all our heartbreak began, where Sam was left with a motherless daughter and where I lost not only my best friend, but also my happiness. I knew though, the moment I laid my eyes on Emilia that we had to bring her back to her home, the place where she can grow up to be a powerful Alpha female. Over the years she became the only thing keeping me from losing my mind, along with the constant hugs and nights with Sam.
Sam was holding my hand as we drove towards our personal hells, his grip was threatening to cut off all circulation to my fingers. Sam was my rock, and I was his, that's how our relationship started. Since he never had any competition for me, it was almost like Sam won me over without any effort at all. We never had sex, we made out sometimes, and we cuddled every night. It was what we both needed during the first year we left.
I smiled to him as I remembered the two years that we spent in a relationship of some sorts. He never technically asked me out but we did everything that couples would normally do and we were the parents of Emilia. Emilia often referred to me as 'Mommy', it was ironic really. Sam told her on many occasions that I was male and even pointed out my less then lady like traits, however her explanation was one you would expect of a child; 'Mommy is mommy not because of what he looks like, he's mommy because mommy always loves me and cares for me. He'll hold me at night when I'm scared and tell me about the princess and prince he knew. Mommy is mommy because I say so!' Sam was taken by surprise at his daughters conviction, after all sentences like that weren't often spoken by a two and a half year old. I taught her at home though, she was what most would call a genius and she could even do middle school math already. Sam insisted she go to school like any other child though, I can't really say no to him, it's way too hard nowadays.
Emilia carried her real mother's features, soft and kind eyes, a beautiful smile and dark grey brown eyes. The only blemish was a scar on her forehead from when she was cutting her own hair. Sam for the first time was angry at her, he really liked her long hair and he wanted her to grow it out. She was stubbor though, she wanted her hair short because it got in her way when she played with other kids. The two were arguing for a few days when I finally made a deal with her; if she didn't cut her hair by herself, she could pick any style she wanted for my hair. She chose long, so i keep my hair back in a pony tail and after a little over a year it reaches halfway down my back.
Sam and I usually kept it short because when we shift, our hair reflects the length of our fur. If our hair is long then it gets in the way. I'm glad I have my ability though, it takes the edge off of not shifting, I don't need to worry about hair getting in the way and it makes keeping up the 'Lonelywolf' image easier.
"Seth, baby, I'm sorry but you know we had to go back sometime. It wasn't long and I know you weren't very happy with me but, it's a lot more than I ever would have expected. You have been phasing regularly right?" I nodded and Sam kissed my cheek as I turned bright red. Emilia made a disgusted face as she giggled to herself. It wasn't long now, we had just entered the border and I was feeling anxious. I quickly plugged in my ipod and played "true colors". I needed to be comfortable with myself and I can't let him affect me like the last time. I was stronger this time, I looked upon Death's door and said fuck you to it. I can do this. I can face him. I can hate Jake.
Emilia was trying to sing along as Sam was trying to focus on driving, his face becoming more and more serious as we passed several houses. We arrived right outside of the house Emily and Sam previously lived, it was in the same condition as when we had left three years ago. Sam's eyes began to water and I could already tell that he was thinking about Emily.
Emily was a touchy subject for Sam, after all, if you lost the person who was supposed to be with you forever how would you react? Emily died because she had Emilia, her placenta had unexpectedly ruptured and it caused massive internal and external bleeding. After that, Sam became a shell of the person that he once was. He gave Jake control over the pack and that's when I knew I had to leave as well, it was a couple of weeks after the 'incident' with Jake and I had. I was done reminiscing though, it was time I moved forward.
"Well Emilia, how do you like it? This is our new home and where you'll be growing up." Sam said and Emilia excitedly ran into the house. I smiled as I grabbed Sam's head and began to pull him forward with me. "What the-!" We heard a yell from the inside of the house and we quickly sprinted in, this wasn't the yell of Emilia. Sam and I entered to see the last person I wanted to see the moment that I went back home, it was the bane of my existence and the one who can clearly be labeled as the source of all my grief.
"Jacob?" Sam said as he quickly stepped in front of me, hoping by some miracle Jacob hadn't seen me and would just ignore me. I quickly glanced at the shirtless Jacob that was in front of us, his muscles seemed to grow in size a little and like Sam, the muscles mixed in well with his large frame. He didn't look at me, he simply ignored me. It doesn't surprise me though. He did say 'don't ever fucking look at me again.', a relatively straight forward answer.
"Sam, why did you and, that, come back to La Push?" Jacob was never one to really beat around the bush, if he thought it he'd basically have to say it. Emilia was becoming furious, she had a very strong sense of when I was being teased and she'd make a face. She glared at Jacob and stomped her foot on the ground, demanding that the attention in the room focus on her.
"How rude! Leave mommy alone, who are you a sasquatch or something?" Oh Emilia, while I do not regret teaching you so much of your current vocabulary and manners, I do however regret not teaching when to and not to speak. Jacob seemed to be too shocked to speak when I grabbed Emilia and held her close to my chest. I walked past Sam who threw a concerned look, I shrugged him off though. This wasn't something that I was about to bring the one I would call my child into.
"Jacob Black, I do not remember having to ask when I came to and from La Push. Last I recalled, you and I had nothing to do with each other, so Mr. Black, why are you talking to me and why are you in a house which isn't yours?" This pissed Jacob off, you could tell by his trembling and glare that seemed to intensify as it focused all its hate and anger in my direction. I was unphased though, I wouldn't let the glare of the one I once loved affect me, I wouldn't let anything he did affect me ever again.
"Shut the fuck up you faggot, you do NOT tell me what to do, I tell YOU!" Sam sent a glare at this and Jake caught the hint that he was overstepping his bounds in Sam's house. Jacob regained his composure and ignored my presence again. "I'm here taking care of the house you built, I knew you would come back eventually, just not with that." He said the last part as a side comment but Sam heard and growled, making Jacob quark an eyebrow in surprise.
"Leave him alone Jacob, he's done nothing to you as of yet and I will not have you being so rude to him in my own house. Now I do appreciate the fact that you've kept my house clean and dust free but please, leave Seth alone or I will take care of you myself." That's what Sam has been to me since we left those few years ago, he's been my protector, my guardian, my rock.
"What the hell Sam, since when were you the fags mom?" This made both Uley's angry, Emilia responded struggling in my arms, flailing rapidly to go and hit Jacob. Sam responded with a sharp glare and loud growl.
"I warned you Jacob." Sam lunged for Jake who was completely thrown off by the whole situation, that's when I took action. I caught Sam's shoulder and flipped him over my hip to stop him, this added to Jacob's confusion as he just stared. "Calm down Sam, I've got this handled."
During my three years in Seattle, where Sam and I had rented a condo from one of his friends, we had met a very friendly elder who knew about the La Push legends. From the moment Sam and I met him, he knew. He wasn't a shifter though, he was however a nationally admired martial artist with several national championships under his belt. He even knew about my half-shift ability. It was creepy at first but he offered to show me how to use the skill effectively, after a year I was able to finally take a win from him. I felt great pride in that and even more so when he said that I was a natural at it.
After he taught me crane, dragon and tiger styles of kung fu, he moved on to Kempo, then Rei Tae Kwon do, jiu jitsu and then Judo. That's how I could flip Sam so easy, it's fresh in my memory and it's widely accepted that the bigger the opponent the easier it is to take them down. I sharpened my eyes at Jacob though, training or not, I wasn't going to instigate this fight.
"Jacob, I will not bother you personally unless you initiate a conversation with me, if my presence bothers you at school I apologize in advance. However, I will not set a bad example for my child by fighting with you, so please say what you have to say." Jacob looked like he was about to throw a punch when he looked at Sam standing up from where I threw him, he must have took a little caution after that.
"I was just wondering why you were back Sam. We have a bon fire tonight so come down when you want."
"And Seth?" Jacob grunted but nodded to Sam's request, he sort of owed him that much after the pack had lost two important wolves; one with a talent and the other who was an alpha. Jacob quickly left but not without making sure he bumped into me. Sam ran over to me and quickly wrapped me in a large bear hug. "I'm so sorry Seth, if I had known he'd be here I never would ha-"
"D-Daddy, air, air..." Emilia choked for me as Sam was slowly squeezing the air out of us, when he realized though he quickly let go and apologized again. "Daddy who was that?"
"That my dear was the person who broke mommies heart." I said, not wanting Sam to feel awkward about answering the question. Emilia only turned her head to the side and looked at me funny.
"So why is he still alive? Daddy said if anyone ever broke mommies heart he would break off their-" Sam quickly covered her mouth with his face turning a bright shade of red.
"Ah, that's enough Emilia no need to tell Seth the rest. Anyway, are you hungry Seth?" I giggled to myself at how silly Sam could be when he's not so stressed out, it was actually one of the things that make him so attractive. I nodded to him as he ordered pizza, Emilia wanted me to get out all of her toys from the car so we left Sam in the house. When Emilia and I came back she was joyfully running around the house without a care in the world, that was until she suddenly stopped and looked at the door.
"What's wrong Emilia?" Sam asked worried his daughter was hurt or something. That's when a lot of heavy knocking was heard from the door. I was setting things up in the kitchen so I figured I would get the door. I sniffed the air first, it was one of the wolves but not Jacob. So basically they were welcome in the house, or so Sam very reluctantly agreed to while making the decision to come back to La Push. I opened the door and was pulled out into a pair of very strong arms and a solid chest.
"Puppy you're finally back. Fuck I've missed that sweet scent you always had." When I looked up to see the person hugging me my stoic and calm facade was shattered in an instant.
Jacob's PoV
What the hell is he doing back here? God Fucking Damnit! That fucking faggot how dare he show his face back here after what he did to me all those years ago. I will not forgive him. I searched for my Ipod and quickly played my playlist filled with the voice of the most talented girl I've ever heard before. She's known as the LonelyWolf and her covers are so beautiful. The way she sings with so much emotion, her voice is naturally a little lower but it often suits her songs and she does them so beautifully it takes my breath away.
The song that was playing was "On my Own", it was one of the first songs I heard from her and one of the first she made since she first started three years ago. The way she sang, she was crying and you could tell in her voice. Her voice whenever she talked about not being 'the one' who the male fell in love with was filled with so much sadness and raw emotion you just couldn't ignore it. I thought she was the best singer in the world, and whoever the fuck had broken her heart that she feels such sad emotions deserves to die.
She apparently did a farewell concert for her hometown in Seattle and I was so mad that I couldn't go. I knew that I had duties here that I had to do, but even so I reeeeeally wanted to go to that concert. Good news though, she moved somewhere near Port Angeles and she said that she'll hold a concert if she could find a venue for it.
I was walking towards my house when I noticed several of my pack running towards Sam's house, that was about all I could take now. How dare that fucking ass faggot get so much attention, he was fucking trying to turn me gay and the whole pack still loves him. Hm, let's see how that fucking ass fag likes it when I put him in his place. An idea popped into my head and I shifted. I howled for a surprise meeting and felt the rest of the pack entering into my mind.
Jake what is it? Jared entered my mind, he was Sam's beta so I figured I would just let him keep that spot. Quil entered next and I already knew Leah and Embry were in their wolf form.
Sam's back, along with Seth... I trailed off the last part as the whole pack gasped in surprise. They were so happy, so excited that the little demon was back I had to hold back my gagging. Leah very strongly opposed my anger towards Seth, insinuating that no matter what she was still his sister and she'd always protect him. She was going to go with the two when I ordered her to stop. She's hated me ever since, Embry has a similar story, he grew up with Seth since Tiffany was forced out of the reserve. She deserved it though, we found out she was the secret whore that Sam's Dad had an affair with.
The pack as a whole protested my hatred towards the pup as we were best friends before the whole incident, they argued how Seth was such a perfect angel and how he never did anything wrong. I knew better though, I knew all of his hidden agendas and those things he would so sneakily do to try and turn me into a faggot. I knew, and hell no I wasn't about to let that happen. They finally stopped protesting this year when I finally used an alpha command for them to obey, The only ones it didn't apply to were Leah and Embry. Pack law states that if the order deals with harming of an imprint or family member then the decision is ignored. I was irritated reminiscing about all this stuff now and let out a growl as I neared the house.
Go to Sam's house, we're going to have a little chat with the former alpha and faggot. No one argued for my word choice, as I felt Leah and Embry had already made it to Sam's place and shifted into human forms. I was sprinting back to where I had just come from and I was the weirdest thing in the front door, the literal last person I was expecting to have Seth wrapped so tightly in his arms.
I stopped with Jared and Quil beside me, I ordered them to stay in their wolf forms. They whimpered slightly but sat down in anticipation for when they could 'hug the living crap outta Seth'. I just rolled my eyes at that comment.
"What the fuck are you doing Paul?" He turned to me with Seth's head still buried in his chest and glared. I was surprised to say the least, through all the teasing and hateful words I've said about Seth, Paul never said a word. I should've found it suspicious since he makes fun of everything but I let it go. He put Seth behind him as Leah and Embry also took a stance in front. I smirked, I knew it made me look like an evil villain but hell, I'm the good guy here. "So that's where you two were, last I recall I called for a meeting a few minutes ago."
"Seth takes precedence over you." Leah said, I rolled my eyes at her use of big words. She thinks she's so bad ass cause she can go to IV league schools on scholarships, whatever bitch you're still a fucking shrew. I looked at Embry who bared his teeth at me.
"Well regardless there's a rule we have to follow about a new pack coming onto our territory." All three widened as Sam made his appearance known. He was a little taller to begin with so with him standing on the porch it looked like he was towering over me now.
"Jacob, reconsider this. I do not think battling us, even with your whole pack will turn out well." I cackled at this, okay, maybe I'm putting too much effort into the whole evil routine. I regained my composure and was activating the alpha voice.
"Leah, Embry, Paul. Complete your duties as protectors of La Push and fight Seth with all your might." Paul and Embry were moving, Leah shaking as her family bond was breaking my word. Since Embry wasn't related by blood and this was pack law he could not overturn my word by technicality. He could try, but it wouldn't work. Paul was somehow struggling, I don't know how, nor do I care for that matter, but it seemed like he was resisting pretty strongly. When they were by my side and shifted into their wolves they howled their disagreement. Sam stood beside a shocked Leah and took a seat next to her. "What the hell are you doing Sam, this is basically war and if I get my hands on Seth I CAN kill him."
This pissed off Leah who was ready to lunge at me, but Sam grabbed her hand to stop her. He shook his head and I saw Seth standing by himself in front of the five of us. "Hey Seth, remember when you had to take your five man take down test from the elder?"
"Yup."
"Well think you can handle it this time without breaking any bones." Seth giggled a little as both Leah and I looked confused. What the hell kinda nonsense was he talking about. Five man take down HAH, like that can compare to having five ten foot tall wolves coming after you. I walked to the pack and finalized my order for the pack to fight with all their might. Their minds roared with disapproval but their wolves were the ones in charge at this point and I could hear all of them apologizing to Seth in advance. Seth removed his jacket and rolled up his pants legs as he glared at me.
"Mr. Black are you sure you wish to fight me, if you do not view me as an enemy we can call this off right now." I shifted without any hesitation and launched myself for him. He smirked and I was quickly looking at the sky, then a force that hit me hard in the stomach. I skidded on the ground and felt the pain in my chin where he hit me and saw Seth with his damn ability out. the sole of his feet was towards me so he must have kicked me at some point, I didn't even see it though.
"Jacob Black, this is my ability known by our elders as half shift. I implore you to stop as I've become accustomed to it and have taken down a pack by myself that was much bigger than the five of you. So I ask you again for your safety; do you still view me as a threat?" He was standing a weird posture, like he was readying a strike, in that damned form of his. Without even dignifying that bastard with a response, I ordered the whole pack to attack him.
