Disclaimer: Twilight belongs to Stephenie Meyer. She messed up the story when she made Jake imprint on Nessie. Fortunately for us there's always the world of fanfictions.

Author/Note: This is a Leah/Jacob story with all the normal pairings and the events in Breaking Dawn never happened, because just like my cousin said, Breaking Dawn shouldn't even be considered a book.

This is also the sequel of Our Dawn 1 therefore I advise everyone to read it first. But for those who don't want to waste time reading some crap about Bella/Edward I'll resume it for you:

Bella accepted to marry Edward and she believes everything is fine until she knows that Jacob's missing. She feels guilty, especially when she's told that he was really upset and thinking about committing suicide. Bella starts to feel insecure although she knows in her heart that she made the right choice. On her wedding day Alice has a vision and the Cullens realise that Irina is going to kill Jacob to revenge Laurent's death. The wedding is cancelled and Sam is forced to accept the Cullen's help to find Jacob before Irina does although they don't succeed. Irina almost kills Jake and Edward saves his life with his venom. While Jacob's recovering at the Cullens, they go to La Push to avoid a war between Sam's pack and the Denali Clan, leaving Bella with Seth alone with Jake. Irina strikes again and she tries to kill Jacob, Bella and Seth. Leah manages to help and in the end Irina flees again. The Denali Clan returns to Alaska and Carlisle saves Seth while Bella is turned into a vampire by Edward. After that Jacob recovers and Sam gives him the alpha position which Jake accepts. He keeps the treaty with the Cullens and then Bella and Edward get married and finally have their honey moon. In the end they all form some kind of friendship and a new year begins.

Our Dawn

Part II

Leah Clearwater

1. Generosity

What the hell was wrong with me? What the hell was wrong with my life? Why couldn't I be left alone? Everything about my life sucked. I was twenty years old and I had a story that would put Cinderella, Pocahontas and Sleeping Beauty to shame.

I used to have suicidal tendencies. Come on…one: my boyfriend left me for my cousin, my best friend, my sister…two: my father died of a heart attack that I probably caused when I morphed into a giant fucking wolf…and three: (the cherry at the top of the cake) I was barren and everyone called me a bitter bitch. So I really had a lot to live for, right?

Well I used to think about dying or running away from home, but because I was such a lucky person fate came bite me in the ass again. A fucking leech tried to kill our alpha and my brother and now we were on red alert because she could come back.

The stupid leech was trying to avenge the death of her lover, just another fucking leech who had tried to kill Bella Swan a few years ago and totally deserved his fate. I wasn't a wolf yet by then but I sure wish I could've ripped his head off. Leeches were our mortal enemies. We existed to kill them all. No fucking exceptions.

But since our stupid alpha was in love with a leech we had to put up with this nice treaty between our pack and the marvellous Cullens. No violence. No arguments. We were fucking best friends forever with them. Mainly we were their lap dogs. Wasn't it nice?

And because I was the only one who thought that Jacob Black was an idiot for still moping around about his ex-girlfriend Bella Swan, now Bella Cullen, the pack called me a harpy. I was the harpy because I was trying to protect our people from the leeches. Awesome. That was just great but there was more.

Bella fucking Cullen, who had been in love with Edward Cullen, the Greek God of freaking leeches, then with Jacob Black, also known as our-so-stupid-mighty-alpha, and finally with Edward Cullen the mind rapist, again…was here to stay for two more damned years which meant we wouldn't be able to stop phasing. On the contrary more kids were morphing into giant fur balls.

So I was literally trapped in La Push for two more years. The only consolation I had actually won out of all this mess was my new position as beta. I knew Jacob had never meant to give me the job, I mean everyone hated me to bits and Sam was his right hand. But I had to make him pay for seeing me naked on the beach. Actually he didn't just see me naked, he touched me, and that was unforgivable. So I kind of blackmailed him and forced him to ask me to be his beta. He was a bit drunk but who cares? I got what I wanted. I was now queen of my castle. I could boss Paul and Jared around like there was no tomorrow, I could bitch about Sam and Emily being together, I could even insult Quil for imprinting on a toddler and Embry for being a bastard child, and no one could touch me.

With the cubs it was different because I actually felt sorry for them but that didn't mean I wouldn't boss them around like the others, I just tend to let them go with a warning, usually a growl that would make them piss themselves and run away for dear life. So I was a bitter bitch…sue me.

My mother was the only person I could rely on. She had been there for me all steps of the way. And there was my asshole leech lover brother as well. I loved Seth more than I would ever admit but right now he was driving me insane. Edward-this, Edward-that, it was all he could talk about since the damn fight with Victoria and Riley. Things got even worse now that Doctor Carlisle had saved his life.

I had to admit that Doctor Carlisle Cullen wasn't so bad after all. The man, I mean the leech, was completely breath-taking. A blonde God from the Olympus, plus he was intelligent. He had saved my brother and I was thankful for that but that didn't mean I wanted to be a part of the bloodsucker's fan club.

The reason why I despised the Cullens so much was pretty obvious: they were the reason why we had morphed in the first place. That was also one of the many reasons why I still hated Bella, although she had been trying hard to be on my good side. There was no chance that would happen. She had hurt Jacob too much, she had made sure an army of vampires came to Forks, she had our alpha wrapped around her little finger and we got nothing in return.

From the beginning Bella Swan had been able to make her own choices and she had chosen a vampire over Jacob. Not only was she stupid but also a freaking selfish and ungrateful bitch. Metaphorically speaking, of course, that would be a compliment. She wasn't a bitch she was a filthy bloodsucker.

I looked into the ceiling of my messed up bedroom and tried to remember when the last time I had cleaned it was. Then my brother's voice reached me. I knew I had to go on patrol…maybe I would skip it but first I had to know who my partner was.

"A surgery? And she said yes?" Seth was asking my mother.

"Yes, she did. I think it's great."

I really didn't feel like listening to that all over again. Emily Young was going to Boston in a couple of days to talk to a doctor that would help her to get rid of her scars. I had heard the story last night from listening to Embry's thoughts. Doctor Cullen had offered to pay the treatments.

I started eating trying to ignore my mother and Seth's conversation. I had the feeling it wasn't the last time I would hear it. From now on everyone on this reservation would know how generous the Cullens were.

"Carlisle is really cool." Seth said.

I rolled my eyes.

"Emily said she'll be able to be totally recovered for the wedding in May."

Yes, my oh-so-beautiful cousin was going to marry my ex-boyfriend in May and I was her maid of honour, wasn't that nice?

"Leah you should be on patrol five minutes ago." Seth warned.

"Who's with me today?"

"Jake."

Great. He was possibly the worse partner I could have on patrols. He had this weird idea that he could tame me or something. He was always playing the nice guy and honestly it was becoming kind of scary. I left home and met Jacob near his place. He was waiting for me. We entered the woods and phased.

We went north first and then we took a shortcut to the border with the Cullen's area. I had to take this chance to tease him, it was too good to ignore.

'When are you going to start acting like a grown up, Jacob? You do realise she's with the mind rapist, don't you?'

'I know that. I don't love Bella anymore.'

'Who are you trying to fool? Me or youself?'

'Shut up Leah.'

'She's married Jacob. She chose Edward Cullen. Just deal with it.'

'I understand now why Sam wants Emily to do the surgery. You are such a bitch.'

Those words hurt me more than I thought. I knew Emily had accepted to do the surgery because Sam had insisted. This had nothing to do with Emily's wish to be beautiful again; it had to do with Sam's guilt. He wanted to be able to look at her without feeling guilty and remorse and once Emily was fixed again he would be able to do it and would simply forget about me.

'Fuck you Jacob Black, just go to hell…you and your beloved leeches.' I left running the other way and Jacob followed me instantly.

'Wait! Leah!'

'Leave me alone!'

'I didn't mean what I said.'

'Yes, you did. You know that Sam will never look at me once Emily does the surgery.'

'You need to snap out of it Leah. Sam's going to get married. You're only torturing yourself.'

'You're a fucking hypocrite Black. You're the one pinning after Bella.'

It was in times like that, that I hated the stupid mind link. I couldn't let Jacob see me vulnerable. I would rather cut my wrists so I phased back. I put my clothes on and he joined me in a few seconds.

"Leah!" he called.

"Go home Jacob…go visit your dead girlfriend…I don't care."

"Look…"

"I don't need your pity!" I raised my voice. "All I need is for you to leave me alone."

"You know Leah…Emily didn't deserve to be attacked by Sam…he never meant to hurt her and he blames himself for that. Where you see some sort of punishment he sees a mistake that almost cost Emily's life."

"I don't…"

"We share minds Leah."

He had seen right through me. He could see the empty, bitter, selfish, cruel bitch I was for wishing that my own cousin could stay marked with Sam's claws forever.

"I'm evil…I know…"

"You're hurting because of him but maybe this is for the best. Have you ever thought about that? You're free to choose…you're free to live your own life. I can provide you that Leah. You can do whatever you want under my command."

"You want me to go away?" I asked surprised.

"No, not now…I need you as my beta…but if you can't stay here I'll let you go."

I was speechless. He was actually being nice to me but I soon realised what was going on. He also thought that it was better for me to leave. After all if I was gone everyone would appreciate it, especially Sam and Emily who would be able to have a decent wedding without my presence.

"I can't go…I can't leave Seth an my mother."

"Good. In that case try to accept that you and Sam are over. It's just like me and Bella. I've moved on."

I laughed.

"Of course you did, kid…of course you did…"

"I'm telling the truth here."

"Come on Romeo…I'll race you home."

Three days later what I most feared happened. I got home from patrol and she was in my bedroom waiting for me because she thought she owed me something.

I would never trust her again but that didn't mean I'd treat her like a piece of crap. I avoided her like the plague because she always reminded me of what I had and lost. She was destined to have the man I loved, to have his children and to be truly happy. I was meant to be alone.

I knew what Emily was going to tell me and yet I heard her. I heard every word that came out of her mouth.

"I won't go if you don't want me to. " She finished looking at me with the same eyes that told me she had fallen in love with my boyfriend once upon a time.

"That's not my decision to make. Don't force me to do it."

I remembered Jacob's words. I should try to free myself from that torture and that was my chance. I knew that Emily had suffered enough as well.

"Does he want you to go?"

She nodded.

"Then go." I said. "Go to Boston, have the surgery and then come home. We'll talk more after that."

She was quiet for a while and then, out of the sudden, she hugged me. She was almost crying and I felt somehow relieved. At least one of us was happy.

"I'm sorry for everything Leah. I really am. Thank you."

When she left my room my smile died instantly. I had made my cousin happy. I had made her believe that I wanted her to be pretty again and that I wanted her and Sam to stay together. But I wasn't so generous. I could never be that generous…not yet.
