An Imprint of a Lifetime
A/N: Okay guys. Well I was really seriously considering giving this story up. But since I've had so many kind words from people, reviews and PM's, I will continue with this story. For the people who think it's moving unrealistically fast, deal with it. I'm sorry, but this is the way I'm writing it, so it's going to stay this way. Look out for the plot twist in this chapter. It might seem unrealistic, but hey, most of this story is.
Thanks for everyone's support, that is what got me though this chapter.
Pairing: Leah / Bella
Rating: M (Lemons and Language)
Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight, sure wish I did though. I'd be filthy rich and wouldn't have to work anymore. But since I don't….
"Don't touch her Leah. She is mine."

I quickly turned towards the voice. I knew instantly who it was. Jacob. What was he doing here? He was banned from the reservation, and even Forks. He shouldn't be here. By right, I could kill him for even setting foot here, but I knew I couldn't. He was now an Alpha. I couldn't take one on. I'm sure Sam could, but me? I might have been, and still be faster that Jacob, but he was stronger than me, even more so now that he was an Alpha.
"What are you doing here Jacob. By right, I could kill you where you stand. You were banned from Forks and the reservation." I really didn't know what he would do. He tended to be a loose cannon. I knew I had to keep Bella safe. She was my top priority, she was my world, and I'll be damned if Jacob took that from me.
"Ha Leah. You don't know whom you are dealing with. I'm Jacob, god of the reservation. I was the born Alpha, and Sam stole that from me. Once I'm finished with you, I will take Bella for my own, and kill Sam. I will take my rightful place as Alpha and Chief. It is my birthright."
I couldn't believe the words that were spouting out of his mouth. What was this bullshit about being a god and the "rightful Alpha?" Seriously who thought that? I growled at Jacob. I knew if I had to fight him, I might never rise again. He was more powerful than I was. I was in deep shit and I knew it.
"I'll give you 10 seconds to say your goodbyes Leah. You won't have another chance." I had almost forgotten Bella was here with me. I turned my head to Bella. I kissed her lips. "I'm sorry love. There's nothing I can do. Remember that I always will love you. Never forget that."
"What? No, you can't die. I won't let that happen. I don't care about Jacob, I love only you." She grasped my hand as I turned to face Jacob.
"I'm sorry." I repeated. Solemnly I knew that it was futile to fight him. Even if I did stand a chance, there was a chance that Bella could be killed or injured. I knew that Jacob wouldn't hurt her if I died peacefully. So I was ready to face my death. I might have sounded pessmisstic, but I loved Bella enough to sacrifice myself for her wellbeing. No longer was I the queen bitch of the reservation. No, Bella had killed that side of me, leaving only what she sees before her. Jacob lunged for me, phasing, teeth bared.
"No!" Bella screamed. Every thing seemed to go into slow motion. I raised my hands to cover my face. I felt Bella's hand leave mine. She leapt in front of me, and something I didn't expect happened. She transformed into a huge, larger than Jacob, wolf. But she was different than us. She still had those dark chocolate eyes, but they were rimmed with blue flecks. She was standing upright, giving her use of her arms. She had a long furry tail, that wrapped around my body, which gave me comfort. She snarled at Jacob. He couldn't stop his lunge, so Bella grabbed him with both hands and threw him across the parking lot. I was stunned. How did I not know that Bella was a wolf? I would've been able to sense it, but no. I had no idea. She was with Edward right? Or used to be at an rate. Did he know? I couldn't believe my eyes.
Jacob phased back to human, his eye bulging out of his head. "Wh…What.. Bella, what are you? Why did you protect her? You know I'm the one for you. You're wolf instincts should tell you, you need to be with the most powerful wolf. I'm a god, you should be with me." Bella growled at him, baring her sharp white teeth. She shook her head and pointed at Jacob to get out of here. "Fine Bella, you will regret this day. I will kill you, your family and your love. You will watch them die, then I was kill you, a slow, painful death." Bella wrapped her arms around me and nuzzled my neck. Jacob ran off.
After he was gone, Bella shifted back to human. I had so many questions for her. How? Why? What the fuck? "I guess our date is canceled? I know you must have questions for me." Bella looked at me sheepishly.
"Um, yeah. You want to head back to my house? Seth and Mom shouldn't be home yet."
"Yeah sure, lets go." So we hopped back in the car and drove to my place. I walked in, Bella following me, and we went up to my rooms. As we sat on the bed, I blurted out, "Bella, what the hell was that? What are you?"
"Leah, you've got to understand, I couldn't tell anyone. I'm a lycan. A true werewolf if you will. You guys are shifters, your form simply being a wolf. It's genetic, mine's a virus. We were nearly hunted to extinction by Caius. He hates us, because we're a threat to vampires. I'm stronger, faster and have better senses than you do, no offence." Bella looked a little smug at that fact, but she didn't really rub it in.
"But how was I not able to tell you were lycan, surely you have a scent or something. You really don't have a lycan personality, or at least I don't think you do."
"You're right, I don't. I've gotten quite good had hiding the lycan personality over the years. You need to in the world we live in. As for my scent, my species also have powers, similar to the vampire race. Mine is power absorption. I'm essentially like a sponge. I can absorb any powers from other species if I wish. Vampires, lycans, demons, and others, I absorbed a power from an Angel that allows me to mask my scent. It comes in handy when dealing with other supernatural beings."
"Wow Bella, I can't hardly believe this. It's so, unexpected. You have to tell me your story. I want to know."
"Well there's really not much to tell. I was born, Isabelle Swan, back in about 1856. Back then, lycans weren't a hunted race, there were thousands of them out there. I was only 17 when I was out one night, on the stroll though the park in my town. It was a full moon out, I knew that there were horror stories associated with full moons, but I payed them no attention. I was walking down the path near a forest, when I heard a howl. I started to walk quicker, becoming a little frightened. As I ran, a lycan overtook me. He was larger than I am today, so of course he easily overpowered me. Back then, it was like a right of passage for a young male lycan to turn someone. A young female was the best, in hopes that he will find his mate. So of course here I was, alone and scared. So he turned me. He quickly found out that I'm a little feisty and I wasn't his true mate. He just left me alone after that. I don't know why or where he went. I'm pretty sure he is dead by now. I've moved around from place to place until I met you. I knew you were my mate, deep down, but my inner lycan.. Uhg, ever since I got involved with those vampires, simply to keep my cover, because naturally I knew what they were, it had quieted down as I've shoved it deeper into my mind. Now though, you've awakened it, and I'll do anything to keep you safe, even if it means revealing myself."
"Geez Bella. I never imagined.. I mean, I love you for you and that will never change. The fact that you are a lycan just makes it even better."
It was getting late, so I just wanted to sleep, to try to wrap my head around it. I needed rest. "Bella, I really need to sleep, I need time to process this. Stay with me?"
"There is nowhere I would rather be." I proceeded to strip and change into my pajamas. I felt Bella's eyes on me, but she respected my need for space. I climbed into bed, and I felt her arms wrap around me. I was content, I had my love with me and she had confessed everything to me. I knew I needed to tell her about my past, and I would, in time.
A/N: Woah, I bet you didn't see that coming. This was kind of an unexpected turn, even in my mind, but I'm happy with it. Yeah, I know that, that part of her was not even present in the beginning of the story, but I've tried to compensate the back-story for that. So review? I don't know how well this chapter will go over, but I hope it's acceptable. A nice plot twist here and there never hurt anywhere right? Anyways, I hope you all like it. Peace out.
