A/N: Sorry it took me so long to update. I was debating if I should just make it a one shot, but I decided against it. Special thanks to ari11990 and andii cullen pattinson for their reviews. Also does anyone know how to indent or fix the format on here?I feel like it's bunched up. If so please let me know. As always your opinions are welcome.
Jacob's POV
Last night with Leah was… amazing, Leah was amazing. This morning I was sure it had been a dream. I had been having a lot of rather, um, vivid dreams about her lately. When I woke to her sleeping in my arms I realized that it hadn't been a dream. I had really made love to Leah Clearwater. She smiled when she saw me staring at her. She opened her mouth to speak and I forgot why I had been trying to wake her up. All I could think about was kissing her, touching her, and that's what I did. Her skin was so smooth and her lips were so soft. I pulled her in for another kiss, when Embry came in. Didn't he ever hear of knocking? That's what it was, the guys were coming. We were late for our shift at the Cullen's. I hopped out of bed to try and catch Embry. I almost forgot my pants on the way out. I pulled them on and headed down the stairs. Everyone was already there rummaging through the cupboards looking for food. Seth looked tired and Quil was busy bouncing Claire on his hip. Embry was the only one who noticed my arrival and I growled a warning at him. Every one snapped to attention, including Claire who gave me a toothy grin. Quil was teaching her pack rules. The growl must have sounded more menacing than I expected, I only meant it as a warning, but it probably sounded more as a threat. I couldn't help it. Quil was the first to speak; I realized that I was glaring at Embry. He looked afraid, Seth look confused and Quil looked worried. "Um…Jake?" he asked glancing down at Claire. "Are you okay?" He was holding Claire close, ready to protect her if I phased. I relaxed a little trying to control myself. I hadn't even realized that I was shaking. I went to the living room to try to calm down. Had I really almost attacked Embry? He was one of my best friends and I was ready to kill him. Worst of all I can't even figure out why. To protect Leah? The way that Quil was obviously ready to take me on to protect Claire. Could it be? Did I imprint on Leah? I thought that only happened the first time you saw someone after you started phasing. I've never actually felt it before but from what I've heard it's the most powerful bond one can feel. Your imprint is the center of your universe, the only one you care about. You love them more than your own life. Sure I cared about Leah, maybe even loved her, but she wasn't the only one. I stilled cared about Bella too, even though she chose the leech. I thought about Leah a lot, I always have, but she wasn't the only thing I thought about. Maybe it was because we were both wolves. I'd have to ask the elders about it later. That should be interesting, explaining to the elders that Leah and I were together. We were together now right? I was so deep in thought that I almost hadn't heard Seth telling me that breakfast was ready. That meant that she was downstairs! I hopped off the couch, rushing past Seth, and made my way to the kitchen and sure enough there she was. She was beautiful wearing only one of the sundresses she wore for patrols. She smelled magnificent, even better than the food she was cooking, and that was a feat considering how hungry I was. I could help but think about taking it off of her. Ugh, Jake get a grip!
That's when I noticed the look on Embry's face. He couldn't have her, she was mine. My Leah! I lunged at him unable to stop myself. WE erupted in a mass of fur too big for Sue's tiny kitchen. I could hear Claire screaming and Seth yelling, but none of that mattered. I could see and feel his thought about her. The things he wanted to do with her, to her. "She's mine!" I snarled at him. Being in his mind was infuriating me further. "She's mine!" I growled again swiping my paw and hitting him square in the chest slamming him into the table, which shattered the force. I smiled when he whimpered in pain "my Leah" That was the only coherent thought I had. I went at him again only to be intercepted by a small silver wolf. "Jake Stop!" she screamed in my head "You're gonna kill him!" what? Kill who? "Embry! You're gonna kill him. Stop!" I stopped and surveyed my surroundings. Shit. I was standing in the middle of what had been the Clearwater's dining room, and laying bloody, on what had been a table was Embry. Again… shit! "I did that?" I asked shocked I remember throwing him into the table, but he looked like he really did get mauled by a bear. She lowered her head "yeah Jake, you did" Sam and Paul were helping to get Embry into the living room. I looked at them, "when did they get here?" she looked at me again, angry this time. "Quil got them after you went psycho on Embry. What the fuck Jake! What is wrong with you?!" she was yelling now. I didn't know, I couldn't really remember what had happened. I all I could remember was that over whelming feeling of possessiveness. She was angry, that last thing I wanted was to make my Leah angry, a flash of the night before flashed in my head. Sam was coming; I pushed the thoughts out of my head, not that he could see them anyway. Leah rolled her eyes at me, which was rather comical in wolf form before heading up the stairs. She must have phased out of her clothes too. An image of her naked underneath me came to mind "Jake!" she yelled before phasing back. Sam stopped in front of me in human form. Sues house was too small for both of us to phase. Embry and I had already knocked out half of the wall separating the kitchen from the dining room. Leah was so lucky, she always complained about being the smallest, but it had its advantages. He dropped a pair of pants in front of me and waited for me to phase.
I tried to explain what happened and why, but I wasn't really working. First, I couldn't even remember most of what happened and second, I couldn't tell him why without telling him about Leah and I. I knew she didn't want that. She may have acted like she was over him, but I knew better, and so did he. I had also been in his head; before she phased and he started censoring it I knew he stilled loved her or rather, was still in love with her. He love for Emily was different, stronger even, but he had chosen Leah and she had chosen him. They both knew that that would always be there, and so did everyone else. After cleaning and fixing as much as we could we decide that the elders would be best suited to explain the situation on and dole out the punishment. I needed air, I needed to think, I went and sat on the porch, but I still couldn't make heads or tails of what I was feeling. I mean me and Leah? Seriously, at first I didn't even like her. When she decided to break away from the pack and follow me, I was unsure about her. I knew she was doing it to get away from Sam and on some level I didn't blame her. I wished I had been strong enough to do that with Bella. Sure she wanted to make sure Seth was safe too, but she hated the Cullens, she blamed them for turning her into a freak. We had been there every day for three months and she still wasn't comfortable. Suddenly it hit me. I needed to talk to someone, before the council meeting and I knew just who. He owed me. I went back inside to find Leah. I could smell her again, her scent was intoxicating. I looked at the clock, an hour and a half until the meeting. I found her in the kitchen trying to put what used to be a chair back together, good thing she was handy. Before she started phasing she was going to go to college for engineering. I told her about the council meeting and headed back out. I didn't want to leave her, but I needed to get to the Cullen's. I went home and grabbed another pair of pants that I didn't even bother putting on and ran to the Cullen's house.
I could hear some of Sam's pack chasing me. I knew that he would have people out her making sure I didn't run off again or anything. Actually, that didn't seem like such a bad idea. Lee and I could run away and start over, without Sam and without Bella. They were gaining on me and I had to hurry to cross the treaty line. They wouldn't follow, they were too afraid. I made it across and they stopped their pursuit. I ran to the yard phasing right before I broke the tree line. I needed to talk to Edward. I didn't really want to, but he would be able to see how I was really feeling, maybe even understand it. He was over a hundred years old. He answered the door before I knocked. "Jacob" He greeted "Bella was beginning to worry when you didn't show up earlier" he paused, closed the door behind him and took a seat on the porch. I sat on the porch and there was a long pause. "Is there something you want to discuss Jacob?" He asked getting antsy. I thought vampires could stay still indefinitely "We can" he replied answering my thought "and Bella is doing much better, but I don't want to leave her alone for too long. She's till progressing rapidly. "Right" I said "Sorry, I wanted to talk to you about Leah." I didn't know what else to say, but I didn't have to. Memories of last night's escapades and then my fight with Embry, or what I could remember of it, came to my mind. If he could have Edward would have blushed, hell I was blushing. I willed myself to stop before I spoke again. "I like her, a lot, but… I don't know, it's weird. I can't think clearly when I'm around her. All I can think about is the way she smells, how she tastes," I paused "Sorry. It's just that I almost killed Embry today and for what? I knew how he felt even though he denied it most of the time. And worst off, I don't even remember doing most of the damage. He remained silent reading my thoughts as well as my words. "I mean, I don't think I'm in love with her or anything." I was trying to convince myself more than him but I expect he knew that. He still didn't reply so I continued. "I just lose control when I'm around her; all that matters is what she wants, what she needs, how she feels." I looked up at him, his face still and emotionless. "I don't know what to do, how to break that pull. I mean it's Leah!" He looked at me and smiled "I wondered if something like this might happen; the two of you are so in synch." He stood and smiled at me. "I think we may be able to help."
