Chapter 2-

We broke apart from our kiss and held each other for several minutes longer. This kiss was too real, too passionate to be one from a dream. This woman was real, and from the looks of it, she's mine. I pulled apart from her and traced her cheekbone with my thumb and grazed my lips against hers. Her lips responded as if our lips were two magnets waiting to be joined again. She pushed me back slowly and looked into my eyes.

"Well that was one hell of an introduction." She spoke with a smile across her gorgeous face.

"Mm, I would say so, do you usually meet handsome young men like me in the woods like this?" I matched her smile and she ran a smirk across her face.

"Only ones that I fall in love with."

I let a short breathe escape my lips and a splash of worry narrowed her eyes. I couldn't help seeing her like this, I barely knew her yet I knew everything about her at the same time. I never really felt love before, the feeling was uncomfortable to me, so vulnerable. But something about it seem to fit with her. I decided that putting a name to her face would be more than perfect.

"So, what shall I call my help meet here in front of me?" Wow, that was unbelievably un-smooth.

"Help meet?" She looked a little confused now.

"You know, significant other, mates...lovers?" That was harder to say than originally thought.

She raised her eyebrow at me and crossed her arms across her chest in a proud stance. "Leah...Leah Clearwater."

Leah Clearwater...the name was so brilliant, the very sound reverberated off my heart.

"Well Leah, it is very nice to meet you, very nice." I emphasized the very each time.

Her eyes glanced away from mine and straight past me, there was a twig snapping from behind me in the forest so I whipped my head around to see a behemoth of a man coming into the clearing. His skin tone matched hers and his dark eyes watched me carefully as he slowly came closer. His hair was messy but short and his body was very intimidating to say the least.

"Leah, who's your friend?" His voice was hinting a very protective tone. "And why does he look like he's going to wet himself?"

I turned back to her and she just glared at him with the smile still across her face.

"Can't you see I'm busy Seth?"

He blatantly began to sniff the air. "But..." He held up his finger towards her. "Not getting busy I see."

"Wow Seth, you can leave now, it's a little gross hearing that from my little brother."

A wave of relief came through me as I realized that he wasn't a jealous ex. That would have been bad news for me.

"Actually I came to get you. Jacob is calling a meeting, it's urgent."

"Of course it is, it always is." She sighed and walked over to kiss me on the cheek. "I got to go, it was nice meeting you."

The behemoth she called Seth just continued to eye me carefully as him and Leah slowly walked away from me into the forest.

"Wait!" I yelled. "When will I see you again?" My yell got louder as they walked further into the trees.

"Just sit tight for an hour or so, and I will be right back, don't you go anywhere!" She yelled back. She was almost invisible to me now through the wilderness.

I cupped my hands over my mouth and screamed. "My name is Sam by the way! Just in case you wanted to know!"

I heard a distant laughing as soon as I finished, it definitely came from that Seth character.

"Great, now I just have to sit and relax for an hour, while the love of my life may or may not come back." I muttered to myself.

I looked around and once again took in the beauty of the meadow. The crashing of the waterfall and the sun peaking through the clouds above me set the mood nicely. I walked back towards the old hatchet I left on the ground and placed it back on my belt. The water looked so refreshing and my feet were now begging for me to soak them in the cool water. I started to take off my shoes and once they were off I shed my backpack and shirt as well.

The water soothed my blistered feet as I sat and circled them in the water. Perhaps I would go to my father's spot another day. It's been so many years, a few more days wouldn't hurt anything. Hopefully the next few days will be spent with Leah anyways. I couldn't stop thinking about her.Usually men spend months trying to see their girl naked. I laughed at the thought. How I wish she was here soaking up the sun with me. I definitely have a lot of questions.

My shadow was now in front of me as the sun was directly hitting my back. I splashed some water over my face and shoulders and watched the water beads roll over my newly formed goose bumps. The sound of footsteps behind me startled me out of my concentration, so I quickly looked over my shoulder. The sounds grew louder, and now a new sound came into the mix of the surrounding area, panting. I scanned my eyes over the tree line while my heart started to race, the panting continued to get louder, but there were no more footsteps. The sound came from the trees to the south of the pool so I panned the area again and spotted a glowing white face staring back at me through the trees. It was a face of a wolf. His black eyes bore into mine. He was absolutely huge, at least eight feet tall. I jumped to my feet quickly, whipped my hatchet out and held it in the air while shouting at the top of my lungs, "Baaahhhhh!!" Hopefully it wasn't hungry.

We stared each other down for several minutes, my hatchet was still raised in the air. I had given up screaming, it didn't seem to bother the wolf at all. Then finally after few more minutes of silence the wolf turned around and headed back into the forest. I continued to stand there with my hatchet raised, just in case it decided to charge me out of no where. My eyes continued to pan the tree line when suddenly my vision went black and I could feel hot hands over me eyes.

"So, Sam is it?" She spoke with excitement.

"Actually it's Samson, but I go by Sam."

"Hmm, Samson, as in the biblical warrior?" This time she spoke in the midst of laughter.

"I guess. But I prefer Sam, what's so funny?"

"Well, I think it's a little funny that you're threatening the forest with your hatchet is all. Maybe, you have a little warrior in you somewhere."

"About that, I think we better leave, I was just having a staring contest with a massive white wolf, he just left before you came." Panic started to shake my voice.

"A white wolf?" She sounded a little worried now.

"Yeah he was at least 8 feet tall! Hence why I think it would be best if we left, let me grab my things."

I turned to see her and saw her face filled with thought and confusion. I quickly grabbed my shirt and shoes and put them on. Whatever trance she was in, she snapped out of it when the short covered my skin.

"Awww, but you're so hot without your shirt." She pouted her lips.

I raised one eyebrow at her. "And so are you." I grabbed her by the arms to pull her into a kiss again.

"Speaking of hot! You're burning up! Are you feeling alright?" I placed the back of my hand on her forehead.

"Oh, yeah, about that. I figure we got some talking to do. Maybe we should go someplace else more...civilized. Maybe, get something to eat? I'm starved."

"Sounds good to me. You lead the way." I gestured my hand in front of me towards the forest while I grabbed my backpack and threw it over my shoulder.
