Chapter One

"Jacob, you would look so handsome in a suit. Why won't you make me happy and wear a suit?"

Faith was stood outside the small white church with John waiting for Joseph's sermon to begin when Jacob had marched through the compound towards them. He was wearing his army jacket, as usual, and his boots were caked in dried mud, he was the only one who would ever turn up to service in such a state.

Smoothing out her light blue sun dress, Faith took the few steps needed to close the distance between her and the eldest Seed and pulled him into a tight hug. "You've been hiding up in those mountains too long, we've missed you."

Jacob's chest vibrated against Faith's face as he let out a low laugh, his arms pulling her back from their embrace.

"Some of us have work that needs to get done, pup." In front of him Faith pouted like a child, earning a rare warm grin from Jacob. "Girlie, you have two Seed men to keep an eye on you, and those mountains need a Seed present."

No one took their work more seriously than Jacob. On multiple occasions Faith had tried to draw Jacob down from his beloved mountains for a family dinner, but each time he would shoot the idea down claiming that no work would get done in his absence. In Faith's opinion that was far from true; the men who worked for Jacob feared and respected him, so they would dutifully do their tasks whether he was there or not.

"Well, we all want to see more of you Jacob Seed. You're far too handsome to be wasted in solitary confinement." Placing a chaste kiss on Jacob's scarred cheek, Faith twirled back to face John her dress spinning out around her thighs as she did. "John, tell your brother he has to come down from that damn mountain more than once a year."

John laughed at the way the young woman would never let anything go; once she had her mind made up she was like a dog with a bone. "Brother, it would be much easier to just give her what she wants. I'm sure the mountains will still be there if you leave for a few hours. You're here now aren't you?"

With child-like glee Faith ran up to the youngest Seed and wrapped her arms around his waist as she rest her head on his shoulder. "See!" She exclaimed. "We're your family Jacob, so you have to see us. Don't make me go to The Father about this."

It was a teasing threat, Jacob might have been doing everything he could to assist Joseph but that didn't mean he'd dare to try to put his older brother in line, that was something only Faith had the power to do and even then it was more like gentle nudging. Since being welcomed into the Seed family Faith had discovered exactly how she slotted into place with ease; all three brothers loved her equally and passionately and she adored them in return. All of them were so different, each with different strengths and weaknesses, and Faith found that she was the key to aiding them were they were struggling like the glue that held the family together.

"Is John looking after you well? Or do I need to whip my little brother into shape?" Asked Jacob, steering the conversation away from the solitude that he loved so much.

John was looking after her well, there had never been a doubt in Faith's mind that he wouldn't. Rising onto her tip-toes Faith kissed John's cheek affectionately before answering Jacob's question. "Of course he is, all you Seed men treat me like a princess. Perhaps if I can't get you down from your mountain I'll come stay with you for a bit."

Jacob's eyes rolled, there was no way Faith would last more than a few days up in the Whitetail Mountains she'd die of boredum, or drive him insane with her endless need to be entertained. "You wouldn't last five minutes in my territory, girl. You're better off playing house with John until that great fucking house Joseph is having built for you is done."

Just as Faith was about to tell Jacob in no uncertain terms than she was more than woman enough to live in the wilderness with him and his wolves, John's phone rang loudly interupting them briefly.

As John listened intently down the phone's receiver his face hardened, and his jaw clenched. "I'll catch you up. I have something I need to deal with."

Both Faith and Jacob watched silently as John stormed down the same path that Jacob had taken only moments earlier, until he was no longer visable to them.

"Why do you have to be such a lone wolf, Jacob?" Faith asked, her doe eyes moving from where John had last been seen up to Jacob's hard face. She hadn't been lying when she had said she missed him, God knew she missed him. When she initially joined the Seed's Jacob had made an effort to join the rest of them every Sunday after Joseph's sermon for dinner, but little by little Jacob's appearance decreased until Faith had decided to abandon family dinner's all together.

"Why do you have to be a pain in the ass?" Countered Jacob.

"Do you not love me anymore?"

It didn't take a genius to work out what Faith was doing, a blind man could see how easily she manipulated the people around her. If anything Jacob admired the power she held over everyone she met; unlike himself, and his brothers to a certain extent, Faith wasn't violent or physically strong and she didn't need to be, she had her own special way. Everything she did oozed femininity but in an oh so subtle way, not overly sexualized like a lot of the other girls her age, her beauty was timeless and intoxicating. The more Jacob thought about it the more he believed that the young woman was born in the wrong era, she looked like a young Priscilla Presley with her beehive, dark loose curls and floaty dresses.

To Joseph this made her not only a model for young woman and girls to aspire to but an asset in his arsenal. No one could say no to Faith, it simply wasn't possible, and that made her dangerous to the people who disagreed with Joseph. But to Jacob, maybe even John, she was just the softness he had always lacked, she made him feel more human than he had in a long time.

"Don't. I'm not like John or Joseph. You can't mainpulate me, girl."

There was a firmness to Jacob's voice that made Faith's brow furrow, and she didn't appreciate being called manipulative. "I don't manipulate anyone, Jacob. I love all of you."

A dark laugh rumbled from Jacob. "So two Seed's in your bed regularly isn't enough?"

The sermon was only minutes away from beginning and large clusters of men and women passed the two Seed's, eyeing them inquizatively as they so clearly looked in the middle of a disagreement.

Taking hold of Jacob's much larger hand, Faith tugged him around the side of the church until they reached the side door away from prying eyes. "Are you jealous, is that why you don't see any of us? There's no reason for you to be jealous, Jacob. I love each of you equally."

"I'm an Alpha, girlie. I don't trouble myself with childish jealousy, and Alpha's aren't known for sharing well."

"You knew Joseph's plan for me, you knew he what he prophesized, and suddenly you can't share with your brothers?" Looking up at Jacob through her thick lashes he reminded Faith so much of the wolves he loved so much, but she also saw the young boy from his previous life and it made her want to craddle him tightly. Cupping his rough face in her soft hands, Faith traced soothing circles on the damaged skin as she spoke. "How can I convince you I love you just as much as I love your brothers? That you, Jacob Seed, are a third of me just as John and Joseph are."

Strong hands came to a rest on Faith's shoulders and gave a firm but gentle shove downwards. Allowing Jacob to push her to her knees, she smiled up at him not needing him to tell her what he wanted. "What about the sermon? We'll be late."

"Fuck the sermon." Jacob growled as he tangled his hand in Faith's thick hair and gave it a sharp tug forcing her face forward. "Convince me, pup."

A/N/ I hope anyone who reads this enjoys it. I love Farcry 5 and this idea came to me because I didn't really like Faith's character, and because we knew she wasn't the first one I thought it'd be fun to do the original Faith Seed. Let me know what you think :)
