'Thoughts'
The bonfire was slowly winding down and the pack was sitting down in a circle talking and joking with one another. Seth in particular kept looking around ever so often, searching for his sister. Her car was still parked in the same place, but Leah was nowhere to be found. She was with Rachel earlier then left to pick up a phone call. Paul said that she was heading towards the back of the house. He went and looked there but it was empty; Leah was not there. He figured she was just speaking to their mom and the rest of the elders since she was very good with them.
The elders came to respect and admire the she-wolf, even though her phasing came as a huge shock to all of them. However, Leah proved she was worth having the gift and made them proud with her smart strategies and ideas when it came down to pack business. She was a wonderful beta and they adored her, particularly Billy, who wanted her for his son. Leah did not know that though and he found it best to not say anything. He figured if it was meant to be, it would happen in due time.
Even though Seth knew she was okay because he could feel her, he could not help but be worried. The pack was blessed with such a connection among them that they could tell if someone was in danger. When a connection was severed or gone, it meant one of them was dead. If a connection was dim and weak, it meant one of them was in trouble. They were very lucky to have one another and although things were hard and rough with everyone at first, they realized when it came down to it, all they had was each other and that was all that mattered for the most part.
Seth looked around some more; Leah was gone for hours and then it hit him. Jacob never arrived either. He turned to look at the pack to see if anyone of them noticed, but they were too busy talking and joking around. He looked around again and did not see Sam either, then again he did after a while. He was with Emily sitting on a table with the other imprints. He could not help but to smirk at him. He had to give Emily credit; she was no fool and made sure to keep Sam away from Leah.
Seth turned back to the guys again. "Hey guys…Have any of you seen Jake?"
"Come to think of it, I haven't. He was supposed to arrive a long time ago. He was bringing the beers." Embry answered with a hand on his chin.
"I can feel him so I know he's alright, but I haven't seen him either." Paul looked around for his soon-to-be brother-in-law. Hell he might as well call him that since he had that title already. Despite him imprinting on Rachel and the shit they've been through in the earlier years, the two boys grew close and they respected each other greatly. Hell…Paul was Jake's manager of his garage, 'Quileute Automotives.' He looked around again and saw the rabbit. "Oh…Jake is here; the rabbit is right over there." He pointed in the direction of the truck.
"That's funny…I did not see him. Where did he go? Why didn't he come over to us?" Quil asked in curiosity. He knew his cousin was acting weird before but this just took the cake.
"Well of course he wouldn't come over with a couple packs of beer in his hands. He must have went straight to the coolers. Knowing Old Quil and the rest of the elders, he must have been beckoned inside by them. Jake is in training and you know how they get. Anytime the elders are together and they see Jake, they have to talk to him about Council matters." Jared said as he groaned in pity for Jake.
"Hm…Well that explains it. I just thought it was weird him coming here and not saying anything." Seth said. Inwardly he had a feeling Jake was not with the elders, he was with Leah. He pulled two and two together from the time he saw the rabbit. Leah has been gone for hours and that was just not like her. He knew he shouldn't be worried but he could not help but to growl internally. He did not know what the deal with Jake and Nessie was, but dammit, Leah was not to be used like some fucking whore. He was brought out of his musings when Quil spoke.
"Well…I did tell you guys he was acting really strange this whole week and how edgy he's been. His wolf was out a lot and he was very snappy. I hope he is feeling better. He must be if he's with the elders. He won't want to be snapping on them and being rude, especially with his dad there."
All of a sudden, all of them felt like a tingling in their chests, it was not pain, but it was something like an igniting spark. It felt like something was being pulled closer together, not their wolves but something else. Like something was being combined into one.
"Did you guys feel that?" Seth asked.
Sam came running over the minute the tingling stopped. His voice was rough and on high alert. He was third in command and all the guys' attention was solely on him. "That was strange. Did you feel something just a minute ago?" He asked as he looked around at each of his brothers.
They all nodded and shook their heads yes in reply. Sam spoke again. "It's gone now though; it was very brief and it felt…different, yet similar." He did not know how to explain it. He was caught off guard and his eyes widened while he was sitting on the table with Emily and the girls. Knowing how he was, Emily said nothing when he stood up without a word and went over to the pack. He sat down on the an empty log and joined the circle. "That was odd; I wonder what it was."
"I don't know, but it felt kind of nice. I'll admit to that." Paul said.
"I agree; it was a nice feeling. I wish it lasted longer." Quil mused.
"Are you kidding? It did last long. How much longer are you talking about? I wonder where it came from or who." Jared inquired.
Embry spoke next. "I wonder if Jake and Leah felt it too."
Little did they knew, it was the bonding of said alpha and beta who caused the tingling sensations in all of them.
"Speaking of Jacob and Leah…Where are they?" Sam asked as he looked around the bonfire, looking for Leah in particular. He knew of the deep friendship Jacob and Leah had and he had to admit, he was slightly jealous of it. Leah never acted like that with him around the pack or not even when they were alone. Of course what he and Leah had was different from what she had with Jacob, but he could see there was something more underneath the surface. He knew Leah and he could tell when she cared for someone deeply and that said someone was Jacob. 'Damn…I hope they're not together.'
"I have no idea. Leah was with us earlier and then she went to pick up a call. At least that's what Rachel told me." Paul answered.
"And Jacob?" Sam really hoped the two were not together. The more time they spent together, the more their friendship grew and the connection got stronger each time. He did not hate it, but he did feel intimidated. He knew deep down he shouldn't, but Leah just did that to him.
"We chalked it up to him being with the elders. You know how they are when they're together and they see Jake. Jake's with them we believe. I'm sure they're both fine. Even if Jake and Leah are together, I'm sure they're planning stuff for our next pack meeting or something. Don't worry Sam…You know how those two are…Always staying at the top of their game." Jared reminded.
That was what Sam was afraid of. He felt like they were playing a game with their feelings for each other. He was so glad Jacob had an imprint. Jacob was too noble and soft-hearted when it came to Renesmee and her mother. Not only that, he would never put Leah through what he deemed he put her through. There was no loved lost between Sam and Jacob. Sure they really did love each other and cared for each other like real brothers and when it came to pack business, they got along very well, but when it came to Leah, that was where their differences lied. He let it go for now and just decided to chill with them. He was glad to get away from Emily. She was hogging him the whole night since she found him with Leah and he did not want to get her mad or blow up at her so he let her. Besides, she was his imprint. He kept an eye out for Leah though hoping she would appear soon and without Jacob.
Seth smirked at Sam, thinking he deserved it. He had no fucking right and he sure as hell hoped Leah really was with Jake just to spite Sam. He could not wait to get him alone so he could give him a piece of his mind. Bastard! "Well…I'll go looking for them in a sec. I just think it's weird they're both here and not with us. Tonight's not a night to work, it's a night of fun. Besides…Those two are always working. Leah worked overtime this whole week and Jake's been running a lot more than usual, at least that's what he told me when I spoke to him this week. I was surprised at what you two were telling me about him."
Sam looked up. "What? What about Jacob? Is he okay? Did something happen?"
They all looked at Sam debating internally if they should tell him. They knew Sam and Jake cared about each other, but could be real pricks about each other as well. Paul was Sam's best friend anyway and held nothing back from him so he told Sam what was going on with his brother-in-law.
"Jake has been acting pretty weird this week. He was in a shitty mood every damned day and his wolf was out a lot. He was very snappy and just blew up at the littlest thing. We think it's because of his imprint, but we're still not sure. Then Leah told us she did not see him at all this week and you know how Jake gets when it comes to Leah." Paul said slowly, looking at Sam intensely and waiting for his reaction. Paul knew all about the issues Sam and Jacob had when it came to Leah.
Before Sam could reply, Jared spoke up. He was Sam's best friend as well and knew all about the issues he had with Jake too about Leah. "Leah said she spoke to him couple times during the week and did not know he was acting like that so no, it has nothing to do with her." Leave it to him to go straight to the point. At least that was what Jared hoped. He also hoped Sam let it go.
Sam was on high alert. If Jacob's wolf was out that much, then something must have been bothering him. The guys said it was not his imprint or Leah, but what could it be if it wasn't any of them? What could have gotten Jacob so riled up that his wolf was affected as well? He figured he'd dwell on it later and let the guys think what they want. "Well…if it isn't Leah or his imprint, then maybe he's just stressed out about work. Jacob has so many things going on that maybe it just became a bit much for him I guess."
They all shrugged, but Seth watched Sam closely, never missing a thing. He turned his head after a moment and the guys all went back to talking about their everyday lives. Seth just could not bring himself to focus on the conversation. He knew something was up and he would get to the bottom of it.
It was almost one o'clock in the morning and the bonfire came to an end. The guys all wanted to stay a bit longer but their imprints came over wanting to go home. Even though their imprints wanted to go home, they still did not see their alpha or Leah and they did not want to leave without greeting them. With encouragement from Seth and Quil, they headed home, trusting the two will give them their messages when they see them.
Sam, however, lingered a little longer. He had a feeling Jacob and Leah were together. There was no way the elders would hold Jacob for the whole night. Jake and Leah were known for being together for long periods of time anyway so the others would not be mad if they really were together. They knew Jacob and Leah would make it up to them. Sam had an uneasy feeling, but Emily was hounding him.
"Seth…Make sure you give my regards to Jake and Leah when you see them." It was challenging saying their names out loud in the same sentence. Besides, he owed Leah a big apology for the way he treated her earlier. When he did not see her for the rest of the night, he realized she meant it when she said to stay away from her for the duration of the party. After finding them together, Emily did not leave his side the whole night and he knew it was because of Leah.
Emily was inwardly fuming; Sam just had to be the one to stay back and look for Leah. After finding them together, she panicked and Sam told her all they did was talk and she believed him. She did feel bad when he admitted to following her, but he assured her it was just to talk. However, Leah made it seem like it was not just to talk. She knew Leah and she did not lie or exaggerated about anything. She shrugged it off to Leah just being mean and only telling her that just to get her riled up so she believed Sam and the two went off. However, she did had an eye out looking for her cousin. She had a feeling of concern when she did not see her for the rest of the night, but shrugged it off as well when she heard Rachel telling Kim, Jake was here but has not seen him, only his truck. She hoped the two of them were together just so Sam could back off. Sam thought she knew nothing, but Emily knew of the differences the alpha and his third had when it came to their beta and she hated it. Everything always came back to her.
"Sam, honey I'm tired. Seth and Quil will make sure Jake and Leah are alright." She said as she pulled on his arm.
Sam held back a growl as his eyes stayed on Seth and Quil. "Fine…Let me know when you find them so I could know they're alright. Have a goodnight guys." He said with a wave as he was pulled away by Emily.
Quil was clueless or at least acted like he was. He nodded and waved to them as they walked off. Seth just smirked, enjoying they way Sam was acting. That'll show him. He waved back and nodded as well. He then turned to Quil.
"Well Quil it's just you and me now. This is your house, well your grandfather, I mean both of your house…Whatever." He finally said with a chuckle.
"Yeah…I know Billy left with your mom."
"Yes he did and mom gave me a stern warning about getting home safe and no picking up hookers and making sure Leah got home and blah, blah, blah."
Quil chuckled. "That was funny. Speaking of Leah…Where the hell could she be? Jake as well. They've been gone the whole night and it's not like them. I know for a fact they're together that's a given. But yeesh…The whole night?"
"Yeah tell me about it." 'You have no idea.' Seth said silently in his head. "Let's head inside and wait."
"I have to go tend to grandpa and make sure he's in bed alright anyway." Quil said as the two of them walked towards the house and went inside.
Quil went to his grandpa's room to tend to him, while Seth sat in the living room. He was there just thinking and watching some TV when he caught a scent. It was similar yet new so he got up and followed it to where it was coming from. It was a good thing Old Quil's room was on the other side of the house. He followed the scent until he came unto the door and he turned the knob, but it was locked. He figured he could easily break it and opened the door but thought better of it. He took an inhale again and this time the scent registered who it belonged to. He got two scents this time and they were mixed together. He did not hesitate for a second and he went into protective brother mode and using the knob, he broke it and opened the door.
What he saw, made him shocked, angry, happy, hurt, appalled, and just downright pissed. Leah and Jake lying down in bed…Naked…Kissing. He looked around the room and saw their clothes scattered about and it made him even more pissed. "What the fuck is going on here?"
Leah and Jake jumped out of bed so fast and they each covered themselves with the sheets. Leah's eyes widened when she saw her brother. "Seth!" Jake's eyes widened too.
Seth looked at them back and forth, then his eyes stayed on Leah when he noticed something on her neck. His eyes widened when it registered it was the mark of the alpha. He looked back at Jake. "You son of a bitch!" Before they could react, Seth crossed the room in three seconds and punched Jake hard in the face with all his might. There was a resounding crack that echoed in the room at the impact of Seth's closed fist on Jake's nose.
"Seth No!" Leah screamed. She rushed about the room trying to find her scattered clothes and put them on so she could go restrain her brother before he killed Jacob. Alpha or no alpha, the siblings protected each other at all costs and from any and everyone.
Jake hit the floor from Seth's punch and he knew he should fight back, but he deserved it. The alpha in him though could not let this happen, especially from a wolf with no authority. It sounded ignorant, but he could not help how he felt.
Seth started kicking him when he fell to floor, not listening to Leah's cries. He could not believe the audacity of this asshole and what he was doing to his sister. He kicked the shit out of him, his eyes flickering between his wolf's color, red and his normal color, brown.
Leah finished putting on her clothes and rushed over to Seth and tried to pull him off of Jake. "Seth…Enough! Look at what you're doing! You're hurting him! Please Seth…Calm down! It's alright!" She wrapped her arms around his waist from the back. She knew he would be angry, but it never occurred to her he would get that much pissed. She rubbed his tummy, remembering he liked that as a child.
Seth calmed down and backed away feeling the comfort of his sister. He was so not finished with Jake, but because of Leah, he pulled away.
Jake got up from the floor like nothing happened and he faced the siblings in all his naked glory. His body had some bruises, but nothing his healing abilities couldn't fix. He turned around, reset his nose, then turned back to face them again. He was ready for Seth's anger and he would try his best to calm him down. He hated when one of his brothers was upset with him. The alpha in him wanted to punish him for his disrespectful behavior, but the human in him tamed it down. He was in the same position before when Paul imprinted on Rachel. Now the tables have been turned and Seth found out he was sleeping with his sister, while he had an imprint.
"Seth…I know this looks bad, but please try to calm down-"
"Calm down? Calm down? My sister was missing for hours and I come here and find her with you…Naked and you expect me to calm down? What the fuck is wrong with you? You have a fucking imprint! How dare you treat my sister like she is some kind of whore!" He was so pissed off and he was tired of these games. He put up with Leah doing this long enough. Coming here and finding them naked was one thing, but seeing the claiming mark on Leah's neck was a whole new ballgame.
Jake took a deep breath, trying to calm his wolf down. It hated Seth talking to him like that, but he had good reason to and he will let Seth take out his anger anyway he wanted to. He adored Seth very much and respected him, not only because he was Leah's brother, but because he was Seth and he was honest, mature, smart, and proved himself a worthy packmate whose strong and had determination. "I'll be honest with you Seth; Leah was with me all night and this is not the only night she ever was-"
Seth put up his hand to stop him. "Spear me the details; I already know all about your secret rendezvous with my sister and your use of her. Leah told me everything and I was going to talk to you about it, but it seems like this talk is going to happen earlier than planned. I don't need to hear anything from you. It's taking everything in me not to phase and rip your ass apart, alpha or no alpha." His voice was deep and his eyes continued to flicker between his wolf's color and his normal one.
Jake flinched at the words, but stayed strong. Was he afraid of Seth? No. Was he afraid of losing his friendship and brother? Yes. They all knew if there was a fight to happen, who the victor would be, but Jake knew he was definitely not walking away unscathed. "I don't want to fight you Seth; you have every right to be angry. Please…Let me explain. If you just hear me out-"
"I don't care about what you have to say. This…" He gestured around the room. "Said a lot and the mark on Leah's neck just took the cake. You disappoint me Jake…I never thought you would do something like this: use my sister for your own selfish ways. Didn't you use your head? What the fuck were you thinking? Were you even thinking at all?"
Leah stood in the middle of them, not knowing what to do. Two loves of her life were fighting in front her and she was speechless. She raised her hand to her neck and touched the mark, flinching from the pain of touching it, and it finally registered what happened. Many feelings flashed across her face: happiness, joy, pride, sadness, and anger. Jake claimed her and she ought to feel happy, but she remembered he was not free; he had an imprint. Leah knew now that she was claimed, she could not be with anyone else. Jake tied her down so now she was officially his whore, his mistress to fuck on the side while he still had his precious Nessie. Her hands clenched at her sides. She actually let him get away with it. Flashes of them from earlier went through her head and she saw herself submitting, asking, begging him silently to do it while she bared her neck. 'Why the fuck did I allow him to do this to me? What was I thinking? I did this to myself; Jake will never leave his imprint now.' Her body started shaking and her eyes started to water.
"It's not like that; I love her. She's my life. I only followed my instincts and did what I felt was right…Still is. I was not thinking…Only feeling." Jake kept his cool and stood straight facing Seth. He was going to tell him the truth and not hide anything. Leah was his life and he would do anything for her. He never thought of her as a whore…Not at all. He always treated Leah with respect and took care of her, loved her. She was his alpha female and he made damned sure she knew and now everybody will.
"You did what you felt was right; you were not thinking…Only feeling? Really Jake? Feeling what? Horny? You knew what Leah went through with Sam and now you put her through this? Marking and claiming her so she does not be with anybody else while you have your fucking girlfriend? I never knew you could be such an asshole!" His hands were clenched at his sides as well. He wanted to hit something and hit it hard.
For the first time since being caught, Jake growled. "Nessie and I are not like that."
"Really? Then what are you? I've seen you and Nessie a couple of times together and even though you don't act like the other imprinted couples, you two are still close. So tell me Jacob…What exactly are you and Nessie?" Seth had to admit he was inwardly curious.
This was not how he wanted Leah to find out; he had it all planned. He wanted to take Leah out and tell her the deal with him and Nessie. He would then leave everything up to her and if she still wanted him, they could be together like they wanted to. The truth was him and Nessie were only friends. Imprintation is being what the imprintee wanted the imprinter to be and they settled on friendship. At first, they did try something and dated briefly, but found they had no chemistry or sparks, which was very strange for Jake. He thought since she wanted him at the time, they would be together, but for an unknown reason, the attraction, the chemistry were not there. In addition to that, Nessie met another half-vampire and that was where her interest was. It was the procrastination of breaking the news to Jake that was the problem for her. When she finally did, he was so relieved and happy and the two forged a deep friendship to which her boyfriend totally understood, especially when Nessie explained about the imprint. They have discussed breaking it and even asked his father and Carlisle to look into it some more, only to discover it could not be broken…At no possible way. For a while, he was disappointed and wondered how he could have an imprint and still have someone else. Well…it looked like he would be wondering no more since he was now bonded to Leah. He wanted it to work and being the positive person he always was, he believed it could. It was up to her to trust in and believe in him.
Jake and Nessie were very close and talked about everything; she was his best friend. Sure she was a beautiful young woman, smart, and had a great head on her shoulders, but Jake only had eyes for one girl and that was his Leah.
At one point, it was Bella, but with everything that happened over the years, they were never the same and he hardly spoke to her. There was a saying that said 'Fate's a bitch' but now he believed irony was one as well. Him and Bella were not even best friends anymore…Hell they hardly spoke two words to each other. On the other hand, him and Edward were very cool. No one knew all of what was going on with him, being that he had no time to sit and break everything down to his brothers or Leah for that matter. Whenever he would see Leah, their time was limited so he never got the chance to tell her all of those things. Now he might never get to. Besides, he had a feeling even if he told them now, they would not believe him. Before he could answer Seth, he was interrupted again, but by another voice.
"Hey Seth…What's with all the shouting?" Quil asked as he came into the room and froze, looking at a naked Jake, a disheveled Leah, and an angry Seth. "What's going on?" He looked around the room at each of them, waiting for an answer. When he saw Leah's neck, his eyes widened and he turned to his cousin, his face full of questions.
Seth was the first to speak. "Aren't you going to answer him Jake? Tell him how you've been fucking my sister for the past I don't know…five hours. Wait…Not five hours, but three months. Tell him how you marked and claimed her as your mate, while you have an imprint. Tell him how you officially made her your whore!"
Jake's body tensed and his hands clenched at his sides. Seth made what he did sound so dirty, vulgar, wicked, and selfish. He growled, the alpha wanting to get out and set him straight. "I said it's not like that."
Leah was beyond trembling and she hated that word. She felt so filthy at that moment; the reality of the situation settling in and she was inwardly fighting with herself. She loved Jake so much and a part of her was happy at being his mate and thought he chose her, but he was not free. He was still bound to that half-vampire and her family and she would never come first. Then there was Sam; she never thought about him until now. He had an imprint as well and even though she was mated to Jake, her love for Sam was still there, albeit weaker, but still there nonetheless. What the hell would she tell him? Screw that…She owed him no explanation. He dismissed her earlier because of Emily and she was still mad at him.
"You know what? I don't give a fuck what it is you have with Nessie. It has nothing to do with me and nothing to do with my sister. From now on, stay the fuck away from Leah. Mark my words Jake if you come anywhere near her, I will kick your ass." Seth said lowly. He glanced at Leah, seeing her shaking and he could tell she was going over the recent events as it hit her on what happened.
"Dammit Seth!" He had had enough and it was about time he said something to clear this shit up. "I love your sister; I would never do anything to hurt her. I am telling you the truth. She's my life and I would do anything for her. What I did…I don't even quite remember how I marked her; it just happened. Yes I have been seeing Leah secretly for the past three months and there are no excuses for it. We renewed our friendship, got to know each other again, then fell in love…End of story."
"I don't care about the time frame or anything of the sort. The point is you are bound to someone else and you should've waited until you were sure that your relationship with Nessie was severed before you started anything with my sister." Seth growled out and screamed right back.
Quil was speechless; he never thought they would all be here at his house at quarter to three in the morning, shouting and fighting. Jake and Leah were not a surprise to him. Hell…He noticed how they acted around each other, but he did not think it was that serious. He knew if Jake was not imprinted, he would have been with Leah from the beginning, but fate had other plans for him then. It seemed like fate had other plans for him now…Again. Fate fucked him over…Twice. Maybe it was not such a big deal like they were making it out to be. If only Jake had waited and then acted first, then things would not look so bad. This explained Jake's behavior this past week; it explained everything. He missed her and the opportunity presented itself for him to make something happen to ensure they would not not see each other again for a whole week. That was the only explanation he could come up with. 'When this comes out, it will be very awkward and there's bound to be some drama, especially when Sam finds out. Fuck! Sam! He will be blow a gasket when he finds out!'
Little did Quil know, Sam was getting a piece of Leah too, but that was another drama that would be found out later.
"Nessie and I don't have a relationship!"
"It doesn't matter what you and Nessie have. It's the principle that fucking matters you jerk!"
Quil grimaced slightly at Seth's words. He has never seen him so angry like this before and he had to admit, it was a little unsettling. There were only a few things that made Seth angry and Leah was apart of it, depending on what it was.
The mark on Leah's neck throbbed, making Leah feel everything her alpha, her mate, was feeling. It wanted her to run to him, to comfort him, and make him happy again, but her feet were rooted to the spot. She was as much to blame as Jake, but her brother did have a point. Sneaking around was one thing, but claiming her, marking her was another and she knew deep down she would never look at another man. She was tied and bonded to Jake in more ways than one. She really did love him and thought for a moment this was it, but the dark cloud of Renesmee loomed above them. Also, no matter what, a small part of her could not forget about Sam. She hoped to God, Seth would not bring him up or else all hell would break loose. After being quiet for so long, she spoke before anyone else could.
"Stop it!" She turned to her brother and smiled weakly at him. "Seth I understand you wanting to protect me, but please…Enough. I can handle this-"
"Handle what? This? Like you handled it tonight? And other nights? I am pissed off at Jake, but mad at you too. I spoke to you about this before, but you didn't listen. Now look at you!"
"Seth! I said stop it! Please!" Her voice became soft, hurting at her brother's words. She knew he was angry, but damn, his words were hurting her and she did not think she could take it without snapping or going wolf. "I love you bro…Please…Do me a favor and wait for me outside in my car. I will talk to you later; just let me have a moment alone with Jake."
"Fuck no…I am not leaving you alone with him. Look what happened the last time you were alone with him." Seth was adamant about leaving her with Jake. He loved Jake, respected him and looked up to him like a brother. Even though he was pissed at him, that did not change, but damn it was hard. To him, Jake should've known better than to pull something like this.
Leah did not want to blow up at him since she knew he meant well. "Seth please…just do me this one favor. I'll be okay…Trust me."
Quil jumped to her defense and placed a hand on Seth's shoulder. "Come on Seth. I know this is hard, but it's Leah and we all know she can handle herself. She'll be okay. Come on." He pulled on an arm, walking forward towards the door.
Seth did not want to leave, but he would do anything for Leah and since she asked, he listened. "Remember my warning Jacob." He said then followed Quil outside to Leah's car.
The door closed behind them and Leah turned back Jake. It was just her and him now, as they stood facing each other.
AN: WOW! Another chapter done. I have to admit, this one was hard to right. I was not sure if the confrontation with Seth came out okay. Seth sure was pissed huh? How did you think this was handled? Was Jake too lenient in receiving vicious words and a beating from Seth? Hell…was Seth too lenient on Jake? Poor Quil…Walking in on something he sure as hell wanted nothing to do with, although he was able to figure out a couple things. Then there's Leah. Poor her, having to endure her brother's words even though they were not directed at her. Stay tuned for the next chapter. Don't forget to review…Please review. I love hearing your thoughts and opinions.
