When Bella walked into the bedroom to find the girl that she had been just thinking about moments ago before she made her way up to her bedroom. It was as if her heart had meltled at the very sight of Leah standing a few feet away from her. She didn't even realize how much she had missed the female wolf until that very moment and all she wanted to do was rush into the girls warm embrace but she didn't. She stayed where she was, staring at the beautiful native girl in front of her. Noting to herself that they more she thought of her day the more she realized it felt like she was missing something, a part of her but ignored it because she was trying to convince herself that she was where she was suppose to be. With Edward. As Bella stared at Leah, she willed herself to say something to her but no words came to her.
It seemed it wasn't just her who couldn't find words because Leah too could not say anything, just stayed quite and looked into her mate's eyes. The room was silent for a few minutes until the taller of the two finally broke eye contact and look around the bedroom then finally spoke the first words spoken to one another since the other night.
"I hope you don't mind me just showing up like this." Leah said softly. "I had to see you."
"It's fine." Bella told her, happy to hear that the other girl wanted to see her just as much as she had been wanting to see her. At least she was admitting to it, Bella couldn't. Not yet anyway. "Did you want to sit?" She asked, moving herself closer to her bed and sitting herself down on the edge of it.
Leah licked her bottom lip and stood there, thinking whether or not it would be a good idea to get so close to Bella like that. It was only yesterday evening that she went from hating Bella to imprinting on her and already she was having her mind filled with dirty thoughts of all the things she wanted to do with her mate. But then again, staying away from her like she was doing was having the same effect on her. Slowly she moved towards the bed and sat down beside Bella, close enough that their thighs were touching one another.
"How's Jacob?" Bella wondered, knowing that he was probably hurting even more so now than he had ever been hurt before when she chose Edward over him because now she had been imprinted on by someone from his pack.
Leah scoffed when she heard the question. "Your asking about Jacob?"
"Yeah. He's my friend and I care about him." Bella declared, turning to look at her. "I just want to make sure he's okay. Especially after everything that happened last night between us."
"He's fine." Leah said softly. "He's just being stubborn right now. He know's he can't fight the imprint. I know, I tried with Sam. It won't work."
Bella sighed some when hearing how Jake was still being stubborn over what has happened but in the end she hoped that he would find happiness. Hearing Leah talk about fighting the imprint with Sam, she felt herself become a little jealous before reaching out her hand and covering Leah's that was in her lap. "I'm sorry." She told her, causing Leah to glance at her, looking confused. "About what happened between you and Sam."
Leah immediately shook her head. "Sam doesn't matter to me now. He's just my Alpha. Nothing more. You are the one that matters to me now." She declared, interlacing her fingers through Bellas'.
Having someone like Leah confess something like that to you would easily make your knees go weak which is why it was a good thing that Bella was currently sitting down on her bed because she knew that she would have buckled to the ground after hearing that from her mate. It caused her to react by leaning in closer towards Leah, allowing herself to draw closer and closer to her lips. Wanting so much to taste them and feel them against her own but before she let her lips come into contact with Leahs', she chanced a look up at Leah who was breathing a bit heavily and watched her every move. It offered Bella more than enough courage to continue on with what she was planning on doing. Pressing her lips against the soft lips that belonged to Leah, causing the Native American girl to immediately respond, leaning in closer to deepen the kiss just a bit. In the matter of seconds Bella found herself on her back with Leah ontop of her. Quickly showing dominance to Bella, letting her know who the Alpha was in their relationship. One of Leah's legs between Bella's as their lips mashed together perfectly until the female wolf slid her tongue out and gently ran it across her mate's lower lip, seeking permission to enter which was accepted right away. Tongue's began to battle for a moment ebfore the shorter girl gave into her lover.
This was the most perfect moment in all of Bella's life. It was love. A feeling as if this is exactly where she was supposed to be. This is where she belonged. Right here with Leah, in her arms and in her heart. Nothing ever felt this right. The feel of Leah's warm body pressed against hers and the feel of warm lips moving expertly over her own and down her neck. It felt amazing to her. Nothing could compare to this. Nothing that she and Edward shared could ever compare to what she and Leah were sharing at that moment. Edward. That thought immediately caused Bella's eyes to snap open with alart. She was still dating him and she was making out with Leah. This was so wrong...but it felt so right. Leah must have sensed her distress because she quickly pulled away and looked down at her lover with concern in her eyes.
"What's wrong?" She asked, looking into Bella's eyes, searching for the answer herself.
"I-I can't do this..." Bella stuttered. "Edward-"
"Edward!" Leah barked, quickly tearing herself away from Bella. Standing up and away from the girl. "What about Edward? I thought you were going to break up with him."
"I was..." Bella began to try and explain herself. "I just couldn't Leah."
"Why?" Leah demanded. "Your my mate. Not his."
"I know that!"
"Then why are you doing this?" Leah was pissed, shaking a bit at all the anger that was building up over her girl with this leech that had his hooks in so deep.
"I don't know." Bella cried. "I don't know...I thought I would be able to but then we went to his house and-"
"And what?" Leah growled, stepping closer to the bed. "Did he touch you?"
"What?" The brunette was a bit confused before she realized what the girl was insinuating. "No! He refuses to touch me like that."
"Good!" Leah hissed. "Then what? Why can't you let him go? Hanging onto him is only going to make things worse. For him and for us." Bella stayed quiet, trying to think of the real reason she was still with Edward when she knew very well that she wanted Leah. "Answer me!" Leah demanded, getting more and more angry as the time went by.
"I'm scared, okay!" Bella finally answered truthfully. Hearing her mate confess that she was scared, instantly got her to calm down and she went to her side and wrapped an arm around her.
"You have nothing to be scared of Bella. I'm here."
"Leah, this is bigger than we thought it was going to be." Bella sniffled. "Someone is building an army. An army of newborns."
When Leah heard this new information she stiffened. If Bella was telling the truth then she and her pack had to prepare if they were going to protect the town from this invasion. No wonder Bella seemed so scared, she had a right to be if an army of vampires were coming and there was really nothing she could do to stop it. But that was what Leah and her pack were for. They would put an end to this up coming war.
"Don't worry, B." Leah assured her, wrapping her arms around her and holding her close. Using a new nickname for her. And Bella liked it. "I'm not going to let anything happen to you."
Bella didn't want to tell Leah that she had spoken with Jacob and agreed to talk with him about that night at the camp fire and what was going to happen from that point on. Between herself, Edward, Jacob and Leah. It was something that needed to be done and she knew that if her mate were to figure out that she went off with Jacob alone it would cause a fight and she wasn't really wanting another fight with her, especially after their most recent ones about her not breaking up with Edward yet. Which is something that she still needs to do but she just hasnt yet. She knew she should but she still had some feelings for Edward and his family. It was mostly that she didn't want to hurt them after all that they've done for her so far.
"Gosh, it's so pretty here." Bella expressed as they walked around. The view was amazing, the water the mountains cover with trees. It was breath taking to Bella. She turned to see Jacob looking a bit distant. "What?"
"I just wanted to do this differently." He told her softly as they both came to a stop. "Smoother. But now I'm out of time."
"Do what?"
"You need to hear the truth, Bella, understand all your options." Jacob said, moving a bit closer to her. "And you need to know that I'm in love with you, and I want you to choose me instead of Leah. I know she imprinted on you. But that doesn't mean you have to be with her."
Bella looked down. "I thought you understood. I don't feel that way for you."
"I don't buy it."
"What don't you buy?" She asked looking at him. "That's how I feel."
"You feel something else for me. You just won't admit it. So I'm not giving up. I'm gonna fight for you."
"Your not going to have to fight for long. I've chosen to be with Edward. Why can't you understand that? Accept it."
"Wait." Jacob stopped. "Edward? What about Leah? She's your soulmate. She imprinted on you."
"I know." Bella said softly, looking down and slightly smiling as she thought of the beautiful girl. "But I know what I want."
Jake shook his head some and stepped closer to her. "You wouldn't have to change for me, Bella. Or for Leah. You wouldn't have to say good-bye to anyone." He tired harder, he would rather convince her to choose Leah if it meant keeping her human. "We can give you more than him. I mean, he probably can't even kiss you without hurting you." Jake then took her hand in his and placed it on his chest. "Feel that? Flesh and blood. And warmth."
This was not what she wanted, she didn't want Jacob and she knew that she wasn't wanting Edward anymore but she just couldn't bring herself to break up with the man she had first fallen in love with. He was after all her first love but not her true love. And when Jacob literally forced himself forward and kissed her without her permission. Bella quickly pushed him away and punched him in the face.
"Ow!" She cried out and backed away. "God!"
The moment that Jacob and Bella had arrived at the swan house and stepped out to walk up to the door, Edward's car screetched to a stop and before they knew it the vampire was in Jacob's face. Anger written all over his face as he challenged the wolf. Jake stood his ground as Bella tried to reason with the angry vampire in front of her and Jacob.
"Edward!" She tried.
"If you ever touch her against her will again..." Edward growled as Jacob quickly got out of his grasp.
"Don't do this here!" Bella pleaded.
"She's not sure what she wants." Jacob told him.
"Don't do this here!" She tried again as held her arms out to keep them apart.
"Let me give you a clue." Edward hissed. "Wait for her to say the words."
"Fine! And she will."
"Jacob, just go, okay?"
"Hey, hey, hey! Easy, guys. Easy." Charlie's voice was suddenly heard as he came down the porch steps to calm both the boys. Seperating them. "Let's take it down a notch. All right? What's going on?"
The two boys stared down one another.
"I kissed Bella." Jacob answered after a beat. "And she broke her hand." He went on, which caused Charlie to look at him when he said that Bella broke her hand. "Punching my face. Total misunderstanding."
"It's just a sprain." Carlisle said as he wrapped Bella's hand up while, Edward stood by watching closely. "It should heal fairly quickly."
Emmett and Jasper walked in from the other room. Emmett taking a seat on the counter near by while Jasper went to the couch to sit where Rosalie was sitting down reading a magazine.
"Trying to walk and chew gum at the same time again, Bella?" Emmett asked with a smirk.
"I punched a werewolf in the face." Bella told him with a smile playing on her face. A little proud of herself.
"Badass." He smirked. "You're gonna be one tough little newborn."
Bella looked up from what Carlisle was doing and up at Emmett. She couldn't help but smile at him but she really couldn't picture that anymore. Her a vampire but in a way she still wanted it because she knew that Leah's aging slowed because of phazing.
Bella looked up from what Carlisle was doing and up at Emmett. She couldn't help but smile at him even though it wasn't something she truly wanted anymore. The only reason she would want it is if Leah lived a long life as well. "Tough enough to take you on."
With that said, Rosalie closed her magazine and got up from her seat on the couch and out the door to the deck. Bella watched. It was hard knowing that one person of the Cullen family would be happy to know that she had been imprinted on by a werewolf...mainly because it meant that she wasn't going to be around anymore. Turning back around to look at Emmett who gave her a small smile. "Don't worry about it."
That evening when Edward returned her home, Bella immediately got out of the vehicle and started for the front door but stopped at the feel of Edward's cold hand on her shoulder. Glancing up at him as he stared up at the second floor of the house before looking back at her. "You have a visitor waiting for you." He informed, causing her to look to where he was looking to see Leah standing by her bedroom window with her arms crossed across her chest as she glared at the two. "I don't think she's happy." He smirked.
"Did you get that from reading her mind?" Bella arched her brow, curious to know if he could read her mate's mind cause if he could then he knew about the imprinting.
"She's blocking me out." Edward said shaking his head.
Bella took in a deep breath before quickly telling Edward a goodbye and rushing into the house were she found herself making a beeline towards the stairs. Skipping every other step as she quickly found herself at the top and inside her bedroom. The door closed behind her almost immediately as she looked at Leah.
"I've been waiting for you." Leah told her, irritation evident in her voice.
"I'm sorry." Bella apologized. "Edward-"
"Edward." The taller girl scoffed before shaking her head. "When are you going to just tell him the truth?"
"I will." She assured.
"When? After he sinks his teeth into you?"
"Stop!" Bella snapped. "I will tell him. But in my own time. Please, just let me handle it."
"Fine." Leah growled as she kept her arms crossed. "What happened to you today?"
"What do you mean?" Bella asked curiously.
Leah dropped her arms to her side as she walked to the bed and sat down. "Bella we're connected...I felt that you were distressed today and I was going to come find you but I was on patrol with Sam."
"It was nothing. I'm fine." Bella assured as she removed her jacket and made her way over to her desk chair, dropping the coat down before she felt Leah grasp her wrist.
"What happened?" Leah asked, looking her mate's wrist which was wrapped up.
Bella stopped and slowly turned around towards the female wolf and moved closer to her. "Nothing." She shook her head.
Leah glanced up at the brunette and shook her head. Knowing very well that Bella was lying to her. Something had happened and was afraid to tell her. "Bella, did Edward do this?" She asked with a hint of a growl coming out as she stood up.
"No!" She quickly shook her head.
"Then what the hell happened?"
"It was an accident...Jacob-" Bella tried to explain in a way where she could tell Leah that nothing happened and that it wasn't a big deal that she got hurt.
"Jacob!" Leah hissed. "He did this to you?"
Just by looking at her mate, Bella could tell that Leah was on the verge of phasing by the way she was shaking with anger in front of her. It scared her because she had seen Emily's face after Sam lost control of his anger and phased and hurt his mate on accident. So she took a step back in order to keep herself safe if the girl were to phase.
"Leah, calm down." Bella tried. "I wanted to talk to him, try to make him understand but he just didn't and he..."
"He what?" Leah questioned, stepping closer to her causing the smaller girl to step back. "What did he do, Bella?"
"He kissed me." Bella responded softly.
"He what!"
"Leah, calm down."
"Your my mate, Bella. He has no right to touch you. Let alone kiss you." Leah told her as she began to pace around the room, trying to clam herself cause she could tell that she was scaring Bella.
"I pushed him away, Leah. And then I punched him in the face." She explained quickly. Hearing this, Leah stopped her movements and turned to look at her. "So you see, Jacob didn't hurt me."
Leah calmed down a bit more when she learned that Jacob hadn't really hurt Bella. It relieved her but he still forced himself on her mate which was something that had to be dealt with. Moving closer to Bella as she took in a deep breath then giving her a small smirk. "You actually hit him?"
"Yeah." The brunette nodded her head with a smile.
"Nice." She smirked as Bella leaned up to kiss the taller girl only to be stopped. "But he still forced himself on you Bella. I'm not going to let this go."
Bella nodded her head. "I know."
