Chapter 4

When the 3 vampires returned Edward and his bride had left to feed. Marcus inwardly scoffed it was clear at least to him that Edward didn't want Aro anywhere near his mate, the boy had good sense he would give him that, and it also meant that Marcus didn't have to hide his thoughts. As Jane and Felix filled Aro and Caius in on the status of the treaty he let his mind turn to his second encounter with Lea- the wolf woman. Why did she have to tell me her name? He thought sourly, he felt closer to her now that he knew who she was. But that was the problem; he shouldn't be able to feel anything for Lea- her, his emotions had disappeared a long time ago. Or at least he thought they had. His mind brought memories of his true mate. Didyme. She had been so beautiful and kind a rare quality to his kind. But even as his mind tried to remind him of his only love something deep in his chest was bringing up snippets of Lea- the wolf woman. Her scent. Her voice. Her perfect face. Her body. Her lips.

His eyes snapped open, he could not, should not and would not think that way. He focused on what was happening and saw his brothers bade farewell to Carlisle and his mate. When they turned expectantly to him he merely nodded like he always did. Carlisle and Aro chatted for a few seconds before Aro turned to leave. Like a well oiled machine the guard members rose to move with Aro as he left the house. Caius turned to him and motioned for him to go next. He kept his face blank and bored as he stepped outside. Everyone was silent for a second before running off towards the airport. The Volturi had a private jet that they used to move from place to place and it was ready for them when they arrived. As there were still some humans around they had to slow down to "normal" speed.

They boarded the plane without incident except for Felix hitting on one of the air stewardesses. Marcus stared blankly out of the plane window as they headed back to Italy. As he looked at the moon in the sky he wondered if he hadn't just made a huge mistake.This thing in his chest was getting more and more painful the further he got from Forks and it was becoming very annoying. The stars seemed brighter tonight than they ever had and the moon looked beautiful like a Chinese lantern illuminating the darkness and keeping evil away. He shook his head. What was wrong with him? Something in him had changed he felt more..more...more alive. And Lea- that woman had caused it.

He sat alone at the back of the plane. He always was alone. He smiled grimly, it had been a long tim

e since had had someone's company. It had never bothered him, but now he wondered what it would feel like to have a warm body next to his, to feel heat as someone pressed against his side, to have his hand on top of her hand, tan and pale fingers entwined in perfect harmony and balance, her head against his shoulder, black hair like silk running down his arm and a pair of brown eyes staring up at hi-. What was he thinking!? The figure in his daydream was taking a too real face. He tried to get his thoughts back to normal but even as he did. A small voice in his head whispered her name. A voice full of longing and pain. Leah.

Leah made her way back to the beach in a daze her mind however, was back in that clearing

with Marcus. Even in her mind his name sent shivers down her spine. She leaned against a nearby tree her eyes closed as she relived that glorious moment when his lips had touched hers. That moment had been more exciting and emotional than her whole relationship with Sam. Well duh. He is my imprint. She snorted hating that hopeful feeling she was getting she knew it well. When Sam and Emily had first gotten together aside from the gut wrenching pain and betrayal she had felt that same hopefulness that San would come back to her. Fat chance. And that same hopeful feeling was back in full force as she imagined a future with hi- Marcus.

Part of her was screaming how wrong this was and that she should kill him and get it over with but a slightly bigger part of her rebelled against any thing that would harm him. She stood back up and made her way to Sam's house. She put one hand on the door and prayed for the strength to face them. She twisted the door knob and and stepped inside. As if a switch had been flicked the noise disappeared from the house and she was met with a wall of glares. So they still saw her the same. Great. One of them rose from the chair and towered over the rest of them. Sam. But that pain in her chest was almost gone, she just saw him as a leader and waited patiently for his lecture. They seemed surprised by her lack of reaction but too much had happened for her to give her usual cold bitch performance.

"You weren't at the meeting." Sam said looking at her. She looked him straight in the eye. She would not back down.

"I know" She said simply. The glares turned into shock at her answer. She was too drained by today's events to be mean.

"Why." he said confusion plain in his eyes and his voice sounded as if he was unsure what to do next.

She sighed, and they all tensed up as if preparing themselves for an explosion. How pathetic. "I had a lot to think about today and I felt to...to tired to go to a meeting. I'm" she paused not believing she was saying this "I'm sorry."

She almost laughed at his reaction, his eyes were huge as if she had just announced that she was a man or something. Her gaze turned to her Pack and she saw near identical expressions of shock on their faces. She bit her lip to stop her from laughing. A pan dropping could be heard from the kitchen and her head snapped around. Emily was standing there, her eyes were also wide and she was at the door covered in flour. Her eyes fell to her hands and her heart clenched when she saw the gold wedding band on her cousins hand. She gripped the table with enough power to dent it but kept her face calm as she swivelled round back to Sam.

He seemed to have regained his composure and she was about to say something when she saw it in his eyes. It must have appeared when he realised she had seen the ring. It was pity. Her muscles seemed to freeze for a second then snap into action and thee next thing she knew her hand had left the table and-

SLAP

Her palm connected with his cheek. The blow was enough to make him stagger and she felt all her old anger return in seconds. The Pack jumped up instantly with varying emotions on their faces ranging from anger to admiration. She glared at him and suddenly hated him for everything he had done to her. She could have accepted the fact that he had imprinted she didn't hate him for that. She hated him for every day he brought up memories of Emily knowing how much it hurt her, she hated him for taking away her free will when he was in alpha mode, she hated him for the role she had to play everyday since he had met Emily and she hated him for the pity in his eyes. And whilst she looked at him she let him see her hatred and he stepped back as if afraid of her. Of course he stepped in front of Emily and her hatred increased as she realised that she could never have what they had.

"You bastard." She whispered before turning round and sprinting out the open door ignoring the chorus of voices calling her name. She didn't faze knowing that one of them would to and discover what was going on in her head. Even in her human form she was fast and she let her legs carry her away. Away from pain and away from heartache. She wanted to run to Marcus and have those wonderful feelings again but she couldn't. She reached a cliff edge and collapsed n the ground. She just sat there for ages staring at nothing and everything. A noise behind her caught her attention and she snapped her head around her mouth in a snarl and a growl came from inside her.

"Calm down sis. I come in peace." She relaxed a little as my brother came out of the trees his hands raised as if to show he wasn't armed. Leah snorted. Seth watched way too many films for his own good.

"What do you want movie slave?" She asked a slight smile on her face. Seth was really the only one she cared for now that her dad had passed away. Her mom made it very clear that Seth was her favourite child. Seth knew what she felt like the most out of all the wolves and she loved him for that.

"Chill out I just came to see how my sister was doing." He had his trademark grin on but his eyes were serious. She sighed. She wanted so badly to tell him what had happened but knew that it would get back to the Pack and she couldn't risk that.

"How do you think I'm doing." she said softly. Her eyes returned to the sea.

"I think you had a right to do what you did and from my point of view he totally deserved it." A ghost of a smile came onto her face. God her loved my brother.

"But I also think that something else is going on." Damn it sometimes he was too smart for his own good. She sighed.

"Not now Seth." she said and saw him nod in understanding. He was the only one who knew the real Leah and she felt tears gather in my eyes. She grabbed his neck and hugged him closely to her. His arms awkwardly hugged his sister back and he rocked her as she silently shook taking comfort from him but deep inside she wanted his arms to be ice cold arms.

"Did I miss anything." she asked trying to change the subject.

He smiled his goofy grin and shook his head. "Not much just the leeches that the Cullens had over had gone." Leah froze. He was gone. Her heart that had begun to heal was ripped to shreds. This was much worse. And she couldn't show how she felt to anyone not even to Seth. Leah choked back a wail and nodded instead.

"Good less for us to worry about." Her voice wavered a bit but Seth seemed to think that it was because of earlier and he just smiled at her. Leah smiled back as she died inside.

AN: Hope you like it thanks for all the reviews. Love you all

Sneak Peak

"I'm going on vacation." Leah said packing her stuff.

Seth appeared in the door a shocked look in his eyes.

"Where he asked." as his sister threw some clothes in a suitcase.

She stopped and smiled at him and for a second she looked like the old Leah again. "Italy"
