I looked down before I laid down resting my head on my paws.
"She said she felt alone because I was always on patrol cause of the damn leeches then that she was sorry, right before she gave me her ring." A soft growl rumbled out from deep in my chest, I was getting angry all over again.
"Sam what do I do?" I looked up at him and watched as he sat down in front of me.
"There are only two things you can do Jared." I looked at him knowing what he meant. I shook my head and closed my eyes.
"I don't know if I can." I huffed.
"Listen, take the night off and we will figure out something tomorrow." I shut my eyes in agreement to his order. And before I knew it I was alone once again at the cliffs.
When I opened my eyes again it was dark out, I slowly got back up onto my paws and kept my head lowered as I walked into the woods. After a minute I picked up my pace and started to run, making my way to the Clearwater's for dinner.
When I got there I searched for the shorts that Seth had given to me earlier before phasing back. I walked out of the woods into their yard, yawning and scratching the back of my head once again.
I walked up the front steps and before I could knock Seth opened the door, causing my knuckles to hit his forehead. Neither of us could keep from laughing as he rubbed his forehead and let me in.
"Good to see you back bro. Grub's ready and mom's waking up Lee." He said as he led me to the kitchen. The smell of lasagna filling the room, I grinned and looked at Seth.
"You told Sue to make this huh?" Seth laughed and sat at the table.
"No bro I just told her you were coming over and she made it, oh and-" He grinned. "She's making a pie too."
I rubbed my stomach, hearing it growl. I hadn't eaten all day and the smell of amazing cooking was driving me crazy. Soon enough Sue joined us saying she couldn't get Lee out of bed. Sue piled lasagna onto plates for Seth and I and we both sat at the table eating while Sue went over to Billy's place. After we ate Seth and I went into the living room and watched TV while eating some pie. When we heard someone in the kitchen.
"Finally she's alive!" I laughed and got up with my pie ruffling Seth's hair before making my way into the kitchen. Seeing Lee pile lasagna onto a plate and sit at the table.
"Hey J." She whispered as she glanced up at me before digging into her food.
"Hey Lee." I said seriously, sitting down across from her. I sat there picking at the pie until she looked up at me.
"What's wrong?" She asked before placing another fork full of lasagna in her mouth.
I waited a moment, taking a deep breath and letting out a heavy sigh. Replaying everything from the cliffs with Kim in my head over and over. I don't know if I could easily say it without breaking down right there.
"It's about Kim." I glanced at her and saw her make a face. She whipped her mouth with a napkin and set her food aside. I guess she could read something was wrong.
"What happened?"
She must have been watching my movements as I shoved my plate aside and buried my face into the palms of my hands. I moved my head and ran my fingers through my hair. Grabbing the back of my hear pulling on it slightly. Not that it'd hurt but any sort of pain was better then what I was feeling right now.
"She-" I paused and fought the tears and urge to phase again from anger. I was shaking and Lee came to my side of the table putting her arm around my shoulder to calm me.
"Take your time." She whispered. I sat there grinding my teeth trying to calm down and keep Seth from hearing anything.
"She left me." I mumbled. I could hear Lee gasp she grabbed my face and made me look at her.
"What are you talking about J?" I shrugged her off me and leaned back in my chair. Making my hands into fists wanting to hit something, rip a leech apart, anything to distract me. "Jared Wolfe tell me what happened." Lee said more as an order then anything. I looked at her and clenched my jaw as I spoke.
"Kim left me, she gave me her ring and told me she was leaving." I growled the last few words and stood up, the chair flying back against the wall. I could see Lee flinch I must have frightened her. I stormed out the front door and could hear Lee behind me.
"Wait Jared, what do you mean she left? You two just got married, she's your imprint."
"She left Lee!" I growled and threw my hands in the air "She gave me her ring and left me standing there at the cliffs." I faced the woods and kept walking, I knew Lee would follow. So I kept walking into the woods shaking more in anger; I punched a tree as hard as I could. I could hear leafs shake and some fall, Lee kept her distance knowing I needed to get my anger out.
After a few minutes I calmed myself down enough and looked at Lee, knowing she would be able to read the pain and sadness in my eyes. I sat down on a log, and put my head in my hands again.
"Lee I don't know what to do. As my imprint I want her to be happy but I want her with me. But when she left I couldn't move. I should've stopped her."
"Explain what you mean, you couldn't move." She said as she sat down next to me.
"As in, as much as I wanted her, as much as the pull from the imprint was telling me to stop her before she walked away, I couldn't." I paused and clenched my jaw again pulling on the hair in my hands. "Like the pull weakened when she walked away, I couldn't move." Lee sat there with me as I tried to control my anger. "She blamed the patrols" I mumbled out, "Those damn leeches ruin everything." I growled and stood up needing to find one to rip it apart.
"J" Lee whispered and looked up at me.
"No I need to go tare one of them apart." I growled and stormed off leaving her there; I guess she realized I just wanted to be alone because I didn't hear her follow me.
I pulled off the shorts and tied them up around my ankle. I phased and didn't hear anyone talking, feeling odd that I had my mind to myself I started to wonder the woods making my way to the treaty line, catching the horrid scent of a leech.
