Leah's point of view
"He is engage Leah! He is getting married in two days!"
My heart stopped beating and time lost significance for me. All I could feel were my fists against my legs while I tried to stay still.
"That's not true." I finally said looking at the floor.
"I am sorry Leah, but it is. I talked to Emily about what happened and she called her family in Neah Bay to get some information about Liam, that's when they told her."
"It can't be true." I whispered to myself.
Liam was like a ray of light in the middle of my nightmare and now all I can feel when I think about him is an intense emotional pain. It feels like my soul has been ripped apart, this is even worse than the moment Sam told me he was leaving me for Emily, I can't believe the love of my life, the man that destiny chose for me is in love with another woman! I should have known, it was too good to be true. I should have realized that a man like him had already someone in his life, I am such an idiot!
"Leah, please say something." Sam said after what it felt like hours of silence.
"What do you want me to say?" I asked him raising my head.
"This is your opportunity Leah, there is still one way to stop your suffering, you have to try to break the imprint bond."
Tears began to fall of my eyes and there was nothing I could do to stop them. I promised myself I was never going to let Sam see me crying again, but I can't help it, I don't know what to do.
"Leah…"
"Shut up Sam, please… just shut up."
"I can…"
"You can't do anything! Don't you see that every time you open your mouth I end up like this?" We heard a thunder and it soon started to rain, but we didn't move.
"Leah is not my fault that…"
"I don't care! I don't want to know whose fault is! I just want to be happy like everyone else, but every time, every time I have the chance to reach my goal you appear and ruin it!"
"You needed to know, you were going to discover it sooner or later!"
"Is the middle of the night Sam, couldn't you at least wait till morning? Couldn't you let me sleep in peace?"
"What are you talking about?"
"I am over you Sam, don't you get it? Why can't you let me live in peace? Why can't you let me go?"
"I am not going to let you go with that bastard!"
"I hate you Sam Uley, I hate you! You ruined my life!"
You could say being angry is my natural state, so shifting is not really difficult for me, but tonight I wasn't angry, I was furious, outraged, irritated and broken. My savage side took over me and I forgot what I was doing. All I can remember is that I jumped over Sam in my wolf form and there was only one thing I could think of: kill.
We roll over the mud trying to hurt each other. I've never fought so fiercely in my life, but it wasn't enough, Sam was too powerful and big for me to defeat him, and suddenly my dream became impossible.
"Leah stop it!"
"Man there is blood everywhere!"
"Stop it sis you are hurting yourself!"
"Nobody messes with our girl, this is war!"
"You guys take her out of here I'll get rid of Sam!"
"Leah try to control yourself!"
I could hear my pack mates' voices inside my head, but I didn't stop. He has hurt me so much over the years, he deserves it, he deserves this and more! I was getting weak and the fact that Sam wasn't fighting, just protecting himself was making me lose my mind.
I didn't have a chance against Quil, Embry and Seth, so I finally let them pushed me away from my prey and I watched him and Jacob disappeared in the woods.
"What were you thinking?" Seth couldn't stop screaming at me.
"You really kicked his ass." At least Quil thinks it's funny.
"We should call Dr. Cullen; her wounds don't look very good." Embry; always worried about me.
My energies finally abandoned me and I returned to my human form. The guys looked towards the woods giving me privacy and I ran to the house ready to lock myself in my room. I put a blue dress on and I didn't have a chance to look at the mirror when the boys started knocking my door.
"Leah open up!" Seth ordered.
"We just want to help you." Embry said.
"Just stay away from me, I am fine!"
"We have a miniature replica of Sam, want to punch him?" Quil offered and a smack was heard through the door. "Why did you hit me?"
"Just shut up!" Seth asked him. "Leah Dr. Cullen is on his way here, if you don't open the door to the count of three we are going to knock your door down, 1…!"
My door blew into a million pieces and Jacob entered my room with the other three following him. "What?" he asked when he saw Seth surprised expression. "You were going to do it eventually."
He looked at me and I felt the urge to hug him, so I lifted my arms and he embraced me tightly. I know is not something I would normally do, but I really need someone I can count on now and Jake is my best friend, I am sure he will never betray me, at least I hope so.
"Don't worry she wolf, he is never going to get close to you again."
Jacob's point of view
I looked around me and wondered how the hell did I let this happen? Once I pushed Sam away from the Clearwater's house, we shifted and he explained me what happened. I wanted to break his face, but Leah had really done a nice job with him already, so I let him go and I returned to the house.
We are all in the living room now; Leah is sitting on the couch and Dr. Fang is checking her wounds; according to him is nothing serious and she'll be ok in no time. She hasn't said a word since her fight with Sam, not that I really expected her to share her feelings with us, but I would really like to know what's on her mind, maybe Rosalie will be able to talk with her. She came to see how Leah was doing and has been threating to cut Sam's throat for the last half an hour. Is a good thing she brought Jasper with her, he is helping Leah to control her emotions.
"I still can't believe you let him go away Fido." Rosalie commented.
"He could hardly walk if that comforts you blondie."
"Not thanks to you mutt!"
"Can't you do something with her emotions?" I asked irritated to Jasper while I pointed at Rosalie.
"Don't even try." She threatened her brother.
"Ice-cold Barbie."
"Moronic dog."
"Sleepless beauty."
"Mongrel."
"Stop it you two." We all centered our attention in Leah; that are her first words in hours.
"This is the last one Leah." Dr. Fang told her while he finished bandaging her arm.
"Leah is there anything we can do for you?" Rosalie asked her trying to sound gentle.
Leah made a negative sign with her head and she locked her sight on the floor. "Thanks for being here." She whispered.
"I say we all go to Neah Bay and punch that guy until he gives us a good explanation!" I proposed and they all looked at me like if I were crazy, except Quil.
"Yeah man, I totally agree."
"I don't think that's a good idea Jacob." Dr. Cullen commented. "Four furious wolves in the middle of the night are going to make them think they are under attack and we don't really need more injure people."
"Besides we are only four and there are at least seven of them, as far as we know there could be more of them." Embry said.
"But we are not going to fight, just torture him for an explanation." Seth said.
"I think that's the same kid." Quil told him.
"I can't believe that moron is going to get married, all the men are the same!" Rosalie exclaimed walking angrily from one side of the room to the other in seconds.
"Well Emmet is going to love this when he hears it." I told her and she hissed irritated.
"After we get rid of the other alpha puppy I am going to transformed you into an enormous leather coat." She threatened me.
"Please don't hurt him." Leah asked with tears in her eyes.
"You are not referring to Liam, right?" Rosalie asked not believing her ears. Leah looked away without answering. "Leah! You can't be worried about him; he kept an important secret from you!"
"Rosalie it's enough." Dr. Cullen said standing up. "Leah needs to rest and it's already 3 am. It's better if we let her sleep and return here tomorrow. I'll be back here after lunch to see how you are doing Leah, thanks for letting me help you."
"Thanks." She whispered back and Seth sat beside her hugging her tightly.
"Did she just thank a vampire?" Quil asked in a very low tone.
"Imprint messed her up." Embry said and I nodded.
"I really hate the smell of wet dog here, but I can stay if you want." Jasper said while the others walked to the front door.
"I'll be fine." Leah assured him.
"Thanks again." I told the three of them before they left.
"Take care girl." Rosalie told her before closing the door behind her.
"We should leave too." Embry proposed and I nodded.
"We'll be back in the morning." I assured them and Seth nodded.
"See you tomorrow she-wolf."
"I know you already know this, but we really care about you." Embry said.
Sam's point of view
"Does it hurt?" Emily asked me for the twentieth time.
"No sweetheart."
We are in the kitchen with Paul, Rachel, Jared and Kim, who came to talked about what happened. Emily is cleaning my wounds and she is trying to do her best, but the truth is that every time she touches me, pain overloads me.
"I still can't believe she did this to you." My imprint kept repeating. "You were only trying to help."
"Trying to help?" Rachel asked angrily. "He broke that girl's heart!"
"Whose side are you?" Emily asked her looking at her angrily.
"Oh, so now we have to pick up sides?" Jacob's sister asked outraged.
"Rachel." Paul said giving her a meaningful look.
"Leah is a strong girl, I am sure she will be able to solve this by her own." Kim commented.
"But we can't stay here while she is out there committing the worst mistake of her life!" I exclaimed and I saw Jared closing his fists.
"Ok, now you are exaggerating Sam," Rachel said. "Is not as if she had fallen for a vampire."
"He is worse than a vampire." I assured her.
"We are talking about Sam's rival; she hated him all her life." Emily commented.
"No she didn't," Jared said. "I still remember all the times we competed against the Makah reservation. Leah was always supporting Sam, but she didn't hate Liam."
"Yeah, but I don't think he is the right guy for her." I said. Dammit, I don't even know if there is someone right for her.
"So what? Jacob and Billy didn't like me at first, but I proved them wrong," Paul said. "They don't hate me anymore, right?" he asked insecure and Jared rolled his eyes.
"Of course not darling." Rachel assured him. Poor guy, if he only knew.
"I think Leah is old enough to take care of herself." Jared said.
"You want us to abandon her?" I asked him perplex.
"Sam Leah is like a little sister for all of us, we are never going to abandon her, but we can't spy her or act as intruders in everything that happens to her." Rachel told me.
"Yeah, what she said." Paul said surrounding his imprint's shoulder with his right hand.
"She doesn't even deserve our help anymore." Emily commented bandaging my arm. "We've tried everything to make her feel more comfortable around us and we haven't heard a single 'thank you' from her."
"Emily! How can you say that!" Kim asked her.
"I've apologize with her for years but she still acts as a stubborn, spoiled girl, what am I supposed to do? I am human, I have my limits too!"
"Did is not about you, is about her!" Rachel said losing her patience.
"Easy Rach." I told her.
"Back off Sam." Paul said.
"Cant' you see that she is probably feeling how you used to feel?" Rachel asked Emily.
"What are you talking about?" My imprint asked her.
"Leah just found her imprint is in love with someone else, we all know who he is going to choose, you think she likes the idea of ruining another woman's life? You used to feel that way, remember? You ruined Leah's life and know she is feeling the same about other woman, shouldn't you be supporting her?"
"Not after what she did to Sam!"
"Of forget it! Talking to you is like talking to a wall, let's get out of here!" Rachel grabbed her things and walked towards the front door.
"Paul?"
"Sorry man, but you totally screwed it up this time, see you at the bonfire."
"We should leave too." Jared said standing up.
"Oh come on!" I can't believe this.
"You can't have both of them." Kim told me before closing the door behind her.
I sighed and looked at Emily who was finishing her work. She didn't dare to look at me; she just picked up her things and started preparing dinner. I know she is upset, I can see it in her eyes, and confronting her is just going to end up in a big fight, but I can't stand seeing her like that.
"Em…"
"I just don't know what they expect me to do!" she exclaimed turning around to look at me. "I've done everything I can to help her and now… ah! I can't stand that she makes me look like the bad girl."
"Is not your fault honey, if anyone of us should be blaming himself that's me." I admitted walking towards her to hug her.
"What sick plan are you playing Sam?" she asked me with a sad tone. "You don't… you don't love her anymore, do you?"
"You are the only love in my life Emily, that's never going to change, you know that." I assured her.
Deep inside of me I know that's a lie. I chose Leah years ago, imprint forced me to love Emily and now there's nothing I can do about it. I tried, I swear I tried to break the imprint bond, but it was useless, it's impossible. I deeply fall for Emily over the years but I never forgave myself for hurting Leah. That's why I have been trying to help her, although all I managed to do was to complicate things even more.
I always knew that she was going to find someone to love, I've been preparing myself for the moment for years, but never in my whole life I thought she was going to fall for Liam. From all the men in the world, why the hell did she have to choose him?
"Let her go Sam." Emily whispered to me and I looked at her confuse. "I know you don't love her anymore, but you have to let her live her life, she can't stay alone forever."
"But Liam…"
"He is not what you wanted for her, so what? Who knows maybe this is a good thing. You said Liam is the Makah alpha, if she falls for him she'll eventually move to Neah Bay, she'll be able to start a new life and she'll leave us alone."
"You want to keep Leah out of our lives?"
"I know it sounds horrible, but we can't live this way forever, we can't even get married because that would probably destroy her! I can't keep living like this Sam, if she doesn't leave then we will."
She trapped my eyes with hers and I nodded lightly, there is nothing I can deny to my imprint, even if I want to.
Uh! Tense moment. Liam is finally talking to Leah next chapter, but I am not sure what they should say to each other, so if you've liked the story so far send me a review and tell me what you think!
