Leah's POV

I quickly got of the forest floor and gathered my clothes. Jacob was moving just as fast. We could here foot steps moving swiftly to the spot where we had just made love. I had just pulled mt shirt over my head when Sam, of all people, walked from behind a few bushes.

"Sam," Jacob started. "What are you doing out here, so far aJacod way from your land?"

"We picked up some unfamiliar scents and I just wanted to let you know to stay alert." Sam began to look at us suspiciously. "What are you to doing out here all by yourselves anyway?"

"I don't really think that's any of your business, Sam" I said, jumping into the conversation.

Sam looked as if he were about to say something but decided against it. "Alright," he said after another moment. "I guess I'll see you later then." His eyes lingered on my for a second before he walked away.
I let out a breath I didn't even know I was holding. I turned back around facing Jake. He had an arrogant grin on his face.

"What?" I asked, wondering what he was thinking.

"Nothing," he responded.

"Why do you look like that then," I asked a little agitated.

"You don't like the way I look?" he asked easily distracting me.

"I love the way you look," I said walking towards him and wrapping my arms around his neck. He wrapped his arms around his waist and began kissing up and down my neck and the side of my face.

Hmmmmmm, he makes me feel so loved.

"Come on Jake," I said not really wanting to stop at all. "We gotta warn the rest of the pack." I let go of his neck and and grabbed his hand. He groaned but reluctantly followed.

This had been going on between us since the day of Sam and Emily's wedding. I knew it was wrong going on in secret like this, but I just can't risk our relationship. I don't just want Jacob, I literally need him. I didn't even think about us I'm not sure what it is about him. Its like with him in your life, everything always seems to be better than it really is. I didn't think I'd last another day until Jacob came along. And I'd be damned if I ever gave him up.

Sometimes I would think back to the times when Jacob and I couldn't stand to be within a 10 miles radius of each other.

We made our way back to our half of the Olympian Perimeter. Once we got close to where the rest of the pack was, Jacob phased. I, horwever, remained in my human form. Jake turned and cocked his head to the side, staring at me.

"Go ahead," I said shooing him away. "I'll be there in a few minutes."

I didn't want to risk the pack hearing my thoughts on what just happened. I didn't stop Jake though because his being an Alpha gave him the power to hide certain thoughts of his-something we had found out awhile ago, along with other things. But I had to struggle to control my thoughts. I thought about multiple things. But they all seemed to point right back to Jacob. Then I reluctantly decided on what always has and might always will be my last resort. I thought angry, bitter thoughts of the world(that always worked because I have absolutely no angry thoughts inside of my mind of Jake). I thought of how first love left me for my best friend. I thought of my best friend letting a man come between us. I thought of my brother worshiping the ground that man walked on. I thought of my mother who neglected me in my time of need because she wanted to help plan a wedding. I thought of my father who left this world way before his time was up. And lastly I thought of me-the only female werewolf ever in existence; the bitter harpy who didn't deserve to be loved; the girl who used to be sweet and kind-thinking that sweetness and kindness would be returned, but soon learned that Karma was itself was nothing more than a bitter bitch who doesn't give a shit about how good or loving someone is.

Yeah, that did it. Jacob wasn't completely out of my thoughts, but all those other thoughts were enough to cover them up. Those thoughts were also enough to get me angry enough to phase more quickly than I ever have before.

I let the wind blow through my fur as headed to join the rest of my pack.


Sam's POV

That was odd. It almost seemed as if Leah and Jacob were-no. But even if they were, why should I care. Are you admitting that you actually do care, the voice inside my head said. But even if I do still care about Leah, it doesn't mean I still love her. Are you sure about that? No. But I can't be!! I'm in love with Emily.

Emily!!

I started to run home. All I needed was to see her face. If I just saw her face, all of these feelings will completely vanish.

I busted through the front door and right into Emily, nearly knocking her down. I grabbed her by the waist before she could fall and looked down into her eyes.

"Sam," she said a bit worriedly. "Is everything okay?"

"Now it is." But in the back of my mind, I knew that was a lie. I couldn't think of anything else besides Leah being with Jake.

That night I fell asleep with my arm around Emily, but wishing it were Leah.

A few hours later I woke up, startled. I had been dreaming of Leah-but that was normal, I always dreamed of Leah. The startling part was Jacob was also there, in the place where I usually was-on top of Leah, making love to her.

I couldv'e killed Jacob had he been in the room with me that second.

I was shaking tremendously by then. I quickly got out of bed so I wouldn't wake Emily, or worse. I tried to calm myself, but nothing was working.

I ran to the back door. The moment I was outside I phased.

I ran for who knows how many miles.

I was finally starting to calm down enough to phase back when I saw something straight out of my worst nightmare.

Jake was lying there, lying on top of Leah, making love to her, something I should've been doing.

I couldn't take it. I ran home, took some time to calm down and phased back.I went back inside to Emily who was awake and waiting for me. Neither of us said anything. I simply walked over to her side of the bed and proceeded to make love to her.


Okay, I know Sam's part was a bit rushed but that about as much as I could think of. Review and give me more ideas on how I can make the next chapter better, more extended in detail.
