Leah's point of view
Everything happened too fast. One moment I was looking furiously at the three guys from the Makah reservation who had decided to come here even after I told them not to, and the next I was imprinting their Alpha.
When our eyes met I wasn't able to look away. He was looking at me with tender alluring eyes and I lost myself in their different shades of green. I wished he hug me tight with his strong arms and never let me go. I wanted to touch his messy, short, black hair and to be able to look at his mischievous smile forever.
What is going on with me? Why everything seems so fascinating all of a sudden? Did I…? He is my imprint? That's the only explanation, but I thought this wasn't possible for me. I think I've never have so many emotions at the same time in my whole life, the pull is so strong, is like if I could actually see it.
He hasn't said a word since we met, does he know? He is looking at me with devotion in his eyes, just the way I always wanted Sam to look at me. Oh my god, Sam. Is this the way he feels towards Emily? I don't know, and honestly the only thing I can concentrate on right now, are his lips.
"Liam I…"
"I know," he said moving a lock of hair away from my face and putting it behind my ear. "A double imprint, who could have guessed that?" Feeling his skin against mine sent an electrical chill down my mine and I blushed. "Maybe this is a stupid question, but can I kiss you?"
I smiled at him, that's probably my first real smile in years. "Yes, that is a really stupid question."
He trapped my waist in his arms and he leant his head over mine reducing the space between us. My heart is going to get out of my chest any second and I can hear his too. He brushed his lips against mine and we both closed our eyes, that's when we heard a growl behind us.
I opened my eyes and I turned around to see a giant, black wolf running full speed towards us; Sam. Why ancestors? Why did he have to interrupt my first happy moment in years? After all the things he has done to me! Don't I deserve to be happy too?
My first reaction was to protect Liam, he is more important than my own life now, so I stepped forward and looked directly into my ex's eyes. "Sam wait! Please I just…!"
"Stand back Leah!" Liam shouted while he pulled me behind him. "I'll take care of this."
"No, I…"
He didn't let me say another word, he just ran towards Sam and transformed before they crashed against each other. Now I feel like if I had a hole in my soul.
"Wait! Stop it! Liam! Sam!" I had almost reached them and was ready to transform when I felt someone grabbing me by the arm. "Embry! Seth! Let me go! I have to stop them, I…!"
"Don't even try it," Seth told me firmly. "Things are getting really ugly without you in the battle."
Embry was grabbing my left arm and Seth was on my right side, there is no possible way of escaping from them without breaking my arms. I turned to look at the battle again and I noticed there wasn't two wolves fighting against each other anymore, it was a battle between both reservations. Fourteen werewolves fighting at the same time, I've never seen something like this before.
My eyes looked desperately to find the wolf that I was interested in and when I found it I wasn't able to look away. I can't believe it, even in his wolf form he is beautiful; white fur, black nose and gorgeous green eyes. He is as huge as Sam, maybe is an alpha thing.
Many of the wolves tried to stop them, but it was useless, it was like trying to separate magnets from each other. Sam tripped with another wolf and Liam took advantage of it biting Sam's leg, who growled of pain. Then he used his claws against Liam's face to get rid of him, and they started struggling between pushes, hits and all kind of attacks. Things were totally out of control and when I saw Liam's white fur covered in red, I knew it was time for me to do something.
Seth and Embry got distracted for a second when Quil howled in pain after someone attacked him. I took advantage of it and I released myself from their arms before running full speed towards the big battle.
"Leah wait!"
I didn't listen to them; the only thing I could hear was Liam's deep breaths. He was on the floor with his eyes closed, his chest was moving so I knew he was still alive, but I needed to be with him. He was in one of the corners of the battle, so it wasn't difficult to reach him, when I did, I knelt beside him and I started looking for the wound that was making him bleed so much.
A growled behind me caught my attention and I turned around to see a giant, black wolf. I wanted to shift, I needed to do it right now to protect the love of my life, so I let the heat overwhelmed me and I waited for the transformation, the problem was, it never happened. From all the things that could go wrong right now, this was the worst, destiny must really hate me.
Sam started walking towards me, probably with the intention of getting me away from my imprint, when another wolf put himself between us.
"Jake." Never in my life I have been so happy to see him.
Jacob growled at Sam and they both stared at each other for a very long time. They are probably talking with the mind link alphas share; I'd really like to know what they are saying to each other.
Suddenly everyone remained still and the packs started walking in different directions. I turned around to look at Liam, two of his friends were helping him to stand up and he wasn't bleeding anymore. I still felt the urge to go where he was, but I was intercepted by my own alpha who started to push me with his giant wolf head towards Sam's house.
I want to see Liam, I need to know he is ok, but I know now is not the right moment, I need to explain everything to everyone first. I saw how Liam and his pack left from the porch of Sam's house, they started running when they reached the forest, they are probably returning to Neah Bay. How long will it take me to get there? Focus Leah! There are more important things now!
I entered the house and I collected seven pairs of shorts for the guys, I left them outside and I waited for them at the living room. Sam was the first one who walked in, and from the look of his face I can tell he is really mad at me this time.
"What on earth happened out there?" he asked angrily and I unconsciously stepped back, not because I am afraid of him, I am freaking Leah Clearwater, I am not afraid of anything, but Sam is shaking violently and we all know how dangerous werewolves can be.
"Sam let me…"
"Explain? You want to explain? From all the people in the world Leah, why him?" he raised his arm ready to punch me but I managed to bent down just in time. He hit the wall behind me and I ran towards the door thanking that the hole in the wall wasn't in my face.
"I don't know! It just happened!"
"It just happened? Is that your answer?"
"Stop it Sam!" Jacob shouted at him putting himself between me and Sam. "You need to calm down."
"Don't tell me what to do." Sam said turning around and walking towards the kitchen.
"Could someone explain me what is going on?" Quil asked confused while he and the rest of both packs entered the house.
"I…" they all turned to look at me expectantly. "I imprinted on Liam Reed, the alpha of the Makah reservation." Their faces were priceless; if I wasn't so upset I would have laughed at them.
"You imprinted?"
"Is that even possible?"
"How did this happen?"
"And," I said before everyone started talking. "He imprinted on me." After saying that everyone started to declare their personal opinions and comments. I wasn't listening, is not that I don't care, is just that I am still trying to understand what happened some moments ago.
"Well this fixes everything!" I heard Jared saying.
"What are you talking about?" Embry asked him.
"Think about it, we were concerned about the Makah clan, but now we don't need to worry about them, they would never attack us, not while Leah lives here."
"And what if she leaves with him?"
"Did you saw the size of those wolves, they were enormous!"
"What are the Cullens going to do when they found out there are more werewolves?"
"You think they'll finally leave?"
"If they leave Jacob will probably leave with them."
"He is not going to abandon us!"
"We should talk with the council."
"Yeah right, because Sue is going to be thrill with the news 'Hi Sue, how is your day? Mine's fine thank you; hey by the way, your daughter just imprinted the enemy'. That is so not going to work."
"They are not the enemy!"
"Yes they are!"
I started to get dizzy with all the conversations and then I noticed Sam had left the house. What is wrong with him? I stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
"Don't follow him," Jacob told me putting a hand on my shoulder to stop me.
"I need to speak with him."
"Not now Leah, he is very unstable."
"It has to be now." He let me go and I opened the back door to go outside.
He wasn't far away, I followed his scent and I stopped in front of him keeping a safe distance, just in case something goes wrong, which in my case is the most probable thing.
"Sam?"
"What do you want?"
"We need to talk."
"Now you want to talk?" he asked me looking at me. "I've been trying to talk to you for years and now you think is the proper time to talk?"
"Stay quiet if you want but I need to tell you it wasn't my fault!"
"From all the people, why him?"
"I don't know! Ok? I don't have the main idea why this happened or why I imprinted him."
"He is my rival Leah; I hate him more than I hate vampires!"
"I know you do, but what can I do? You want me to ignore my feelings for him? To completely forget about him? I can't do that, you know how I feel, I can't control it!"
"Yes you can!"
"Oh really? Are you telling me that you can control your actual devotion for Emily? That you love her more than me because you decided to do it, not just because destiny ordered you to do it?"
"Stop it Leah, that's was different!"
"Not is not!"
"I fell for your cousin, not your worst enemy!"
"Which is even worse! We were like sisters Sam, and you knew it! You knew it and that didn't stop you from breaking my heart!"
"I couldn't help it!"
"Well now I can't help it! You think I like this whole situation? I hate imprinting, I always have! I hate the fact that I can't choose the love of my life, but now there is nothing I can do about it. I can't stop thinking about Liam and there is nothing you can do about it."
"Yes I can."
"If you hurt him I'll be forced to hurt you too." I said not being able to control the tears that were escaping from my eyes.
"You can't be with him."
"Don't make me choose between my imprint and my reservation because you know who is going to win Sam."
"You don't even know him!"
"I know and these feelings are freaking me out, I am scared, I never wanted this to happen!" Did I just confess my true emotions to him? What are these feelings making to me?
"Lee-lee…"
"Don't call me like that."
"You'll always be important to me, you know that, right?" he said a little more calm and getting closer to me.
"Important?" I asked confused.
"Leah I chose to love you and you chose to love me, it's different from imprinting, you'll always have a place in my heart."
"What does it matter now Sam? We both love different people now."
"Leah you don't even know him, maybe there is still time, maybe there is a way to break your pull towards him."
"What?"
"I know I always said the imprinting bond was impossible to break, but who knows, maybe I just wasn't strong enough, but you can try, you can…"
"Why?"
"Why what?"
"Why should I try breaking it?"
"Leah it's obvious, you don't like him, you…"
"How do you know what I want Sam?"
"You are joking right? You don't want to love that guy."
"Well I do and you should better start getting used to it." I said angrily turning around ready to walk away.
"Leah wait."
"How can you be so hypocrite?" I asked him facing him again. "Why can't you be happy for me?"
"I would, believe me I would, but it's Liam we are talking about!"
"You know what? Forget it!" I said walking away from him. "For a single moment I thought you had really changed."
"Lee-lee come back."
"I told you not to call me like that ever again!"
"Where are you going?"
"What do you care?"
"Leah come back!"
"Stay away from me!"
That's the last thing I told him before I shifted and ran towards the forest. No path, no direction, I just followed my instinct to find the only person who is going to be glad to see me.
