They were already starting the demonstrations but I couldn't concentrate, not when my mind couldn't stray from my imprintee. I was really surprised of the fact that I had imprinted a few minutes ago but not as much as the fact that I've imprinted on a girl, a vampire girl no less. I've always thought of imprinting of a guy, a normal, human guy. But this was the least I've expected. A vampire man could be possible but a girl? I shook my head and focused back on the task at hand.
Looking back at the Cullens I noticed that the one who introduced them was the now the one fighting Edward. If I remember correctly his name was Carlisle. Edward almost beat him up but in a split second the tables were turned and he was now on the ground. Laughing, Carlisle helped him up and they brushed off the dirt in their clothes.
My senses sharpened up when I saw Alice walk up against the guy who was teaching us. They were smiling at each other giving half hearted taunts. My body tensed as I watched the two of them. They were circling each other waiting to attack. And when the guy moved to attack I felt my body move as well and in an instant I was in front of Alice growling, baring my teeth at him. He immediately stopped in front of me obviously surprised of my actions.
'Leah!' Jacob's voice thundered through my head. But that didn't stop me from growling at him.
"What the fuck is that mutt's problem?" I heard the female blonde vampire.
'Leah, stand down.' Now it was Sam who talked to me. I couldn't help but obey since he was still our pack's alpha. I stopped growling but I still held my position in front of Alice. Neither of the two moved. But the others came at us. I held my eye contact with the vampire in front of me as we felt each other, anticipating an attack. None came and they quickly separated us and Sam stood in front of us while Carlisle stood in front of them.
"You should put it in a leash!" The blonde female said once more.
"Rosalie." Carlisle warned her. He then faced us expecting an explanation for what happened. Edward stood next to him ready to hear what Sam had to say.
'We're sorry for the inconvenience, but as of now we do not know what happened. We'll interrogate her as soon as we get home. As for now I think we should call it a day.' Edward then told them what Sam said and they agreed. Sam then looked at me anger clearly seen in his eyes silently expecting me to explain myself later.
'Let's go.' We headed back to La Push with him leading the way. I fell behind glancing one last time at Alice. She caught my eye and we held each other's gaze for a while, confusion clearly evident in her eyes. I held the gaze for another second before breaking it and turning my back towards her as they watched us leave the field. Every step that I took only made my heart ache even worse.
..-..
"What just happened back there?" Sam was outraged. He was pacing around trying to calm his nerves before me. I guess his mind is too clouded with rage to realize that I've actually imprinted on the vampire which caused me to unwillingly protect her. We were alone in the room as he requested since he wanted to find out first before the others do.
"I've imprinted on her." I blurted out. There was no use hiding it. Even our thoughts can't be concealed with each other. I was just lucky that they were too focused on the Cullens earlier that they didn't mind my thoughts.
"What!" He stopped in his tracks and faced me. Clearly it was more of an expression rather than a question so I stayed silent. I didn't want to be literally at the receiving end of his anger. He smashed the wooden chair in front of him into pieces and I cringed. I think it helped a bit as I saw him calming down a bit. He was breathing hard, and I know he's trying his best not to shift and I put my guard up ready to shift as well if it came to that.
He got his nerves in control and his erratic breathing slowed down with a rhythmical pace. He clenched and unclenched his hands testing out his control before he spoke again.
"You are not allowed to participate in any of this anymore unless I tell otherwise." I could feel my eyes starting to sting as I took in what he said. It wasn't fair. I didn't choose to imprint on her. He of all people should know this! We were dating back then when he imprinted on Emily and he had no choice but to go with her.
"I'm sorry Leah, but it's for the best. Once we figure this out with the elders we can decide on what to do. We can't risk you attacking every person, vampire or not, that goes near your imprintee. It would put us in a difficult position. I hope you understand." He seemed to have read my thoughts and he was definitely calmer now but he was a bit hesitant when he mentioned my imprintee. My anger died down and I gave in. I remembered what I did earlier and I don't want that to happen again. I nodded to Sam in approval and he acknowledged it. Without a word he hugged me and left off to somewhere else.
It was very supportive of him to be like that. If not he would've lashed out his anger at me. Maybe the fact that we used to date back then made him realize what I'm going through right now. After all he too was almost in the same dilemma as I am even with different case scenarios. I felt somewhat happier now. It's like I've finally completed my whole being. But as they say, every coin has two sides. Now that I've finally found my soul mate it just became more complicated that she's one of our sworn enemies, the root of our transformation.
Some of us never really liked to become a werewolf. For sure I know my brother didn't. He just wanted to live a normal human life like the rest of his friends. We had the blood, yes, but in order for us to shift is that there must be vampires living nearby. And that's where the Cullens enter. Since they came here some years ago our tribe was affected and one by one we became shape shifters. As for me, I kind of like being a shape shifter. It gave me more self worth. And becoming the first woman shape shifter added to it.
"Sis?" My brother's voice interrupted my thoughts. He entered the room cautiously testing the waters.
"Hey." I called back to him smiling warmly to rid of his fear. It worked and in an instant he dropped of his guard the awkwardness fleeting away between us.
"I heard everything." He became direct with me. I knew that they all heard everything. Now that their focus was with me there was nothing to hide from them anymore. It really sucked that once we become part of the pack we're all connected by mental link and that we really can't hide what we're thinking from each other since that's the only way we could communicate while we're in wolf form.
"And I just want you to know, you have my back." Seth was really a sweet kid. He's the best younger brother I could ever have.
"Thanks." I smiled at him and he hugged me for comfort. At least it's nice to know that there were ones who aren't really opposed to this. But I bet the others would. Not only that, now I have to face the ultimate problem of all.
What do I do now?
