Chapter 7

Leah POV

I ran up behind Embry's house, suddenly realizing that I had no clothes. Shit. I briefly decided whether a naked woman or a wolf was a scarier thing to see. I wandered around, staying a wolf, to where I thought his bedroom was and looked inside. He wasn't there. His parents didn't know about the whole wolf thing, so I stayed away and didn't howl for him as to not scare them. His smell was everywhere, but there was nothing fresh about it. He was gone.

I began to wonder where he was, remembering vaguely a girl at the wedding that had shown an interest in him. I suddenly began to feel a little jealous. Was Embry out on a date? The idea was not appealing to me, and again I was pretty shocked by my thoughts. I decided to continue on home to get Seth, maybe he knew where Embry was.

So... Leah has a crush on Embry... Paul's voice was in my head. Ugh. I was not happy about that.

Shut up, Paul. I said, much more defensively that I planned. I focused myself on thinking about getting home to Seth. Paul laughed I missed you too, Leah.

I ran to our house, not bothering to phase and howled. It was only a few moments before Seth burst through the door, I averted my eyes so he could strip and phase.

What's wrong? He asked. He jumped at the sound of Quil's voice in his head. Apparently Jake kicked Sam's ass because of something to do with your sister.

Yeah, I can't wait to hear about this... Paul chimed in. Sam is going to be pissed.

It had nothing to do with Leah. Jake's Alpha voice was on. It shut up the boys and that made me smile. Sam made his own decisions, and that is all I am saying until everybody is in the same room.

I turned my attention back to Seth. We needed to find Embry. Seth nodded, and started running north, toward the Cullen house.

Embry POV

Even though I had no urge to hear it, Emmett decided to go into detail about how to please a woman. I kept telling him that if I was lucky enough to get that far, I would figure it out. He was not having any of that.

"Embry... When you win her over, and you will" He looked at me, winking, "you don't want to lose her because she thinks you are a goofball in the bedroom." I rolled my eyes. He then proceeded to describe how to bring a woman to orgasm with your tongue. I was getting pretty uncomfortable, when I heard a howl in the distance. It was Leah.

I looked at Emmett, who seemed disappointed that I was leaving, but he waved me on. "Remember what I said!" He yelled after me.

I phased the minute I ran out of the door. I should have taken the time to clear my head m because all I was thinking about was the sound of her howling and the things that Emmett had talked about me doing to her with my tongue.

Whoa, Embry! I heard Quil say Looks like somebodies crush is pretty mutual... You sly dog...

Shut up, Quil, or I will shut it for you! Leah barked

Yeah!!! I don't ever want to think of my sister thinking of anybody like that.... Seth sounded grossed out.

The sound of Leah's voice made me realize that he was talking about her having a mutual crush. I felt a rush of happiness that I quickly hid. Quil snickered. Suddenly I realized that I heard other voices, too. Paul, Quil- What the hell are you doing here?

Apparently Jacob kicked Sam's ass over something to do with Leah, now we have a pack meeting. Paul said.

It had nothing to do with that! Leah and Jake both yelled at the same time.

That isn't what Quil said... Paul sounded like somebody had slapped him.

I had somehow missed all of the voices in my head, wondering what was really going on. I lost myself in vacant thought, trying to not think about Leah and Emmett's vivid descriptions of sex. I stared at the trees and focused.

So... Where were you, Embry? Leah asked, trying to just slide it in like it was casual conversation, hoping the rest of the pack didn't notice. They all picked up on it instantly.

Oohhhh!!! Told you somebody has it bad! Paul was such an ass. I could feel Leah's embarrassment growing.

Stop it! I said, which only fueled Quil to join in. Embry and Leah... Sitting in a tree.. His chant was cut short by Leah.

I am the Beta of this pack. I have a right to know where and what each and every one of you are doing. So, don't think I won't ask either of you to tell me when you are doing something you don't want to share with the group. They both shut up. Seth chuckled. It was funny, but my heart sank just a little. I was hoping that she wanted to know where I was.

Suddenly we converged at Jake's house. He stood, phased back to human on his back porch. He walked inside, and we all phased and wandered after him. Leah stood next to Seth still as a wolf, and whined while nudging his hand. He laughed.

"Give me a second, I will see if Rachel has some clothes." He patted her head, and she rolled her eyes at him. He bounded up the stairs. I stayed outside, next to Leah. I imagined her phasing, her naked body standing in front of me. I wanted to tell her how I felt, but I had a plan in place. I stood there, nervous to talk to her, even though she couldn't say anything back to me.

"Umm... Leah?" I finally spoke. She looked at me, her eyes still the same. "I was wondering... What are you doing this weekend? Emmett and Rosalie invited me to Seattle, and I didn't want to go alone... They get all mushy and crap. They have a couple of extra tickets to the Renaissance fair there, and I thought it might be fun." She looked at me, tilting her head slightly, and for a moment I thought she would refuse me. Seth suddenly appeared, and threw some clothes at her. I turned, and she phased. I waited until she spoke to turn around.

"Sure, Bry. I think it would be fun. I went once with a friend, it was a good time." She smiled at me before sprinting up the stairs. My heart hammered in my chest. I had a quasi-date with Leah Clearwater. I was both excited and terrified at the same time.

Leah POV

Embry was cute when he was nervous. I was glad he asked me to go with him this weekend. I needed a break from La Push, and I am sure the meeting that I was walking into wasn't going to make life easier here.

The small living room was shoulder to shoulder boys. I noticed that Sam was there, sitting on a chair, a look that could only be described as a cross between frustration and respect on his face. He knew he had been beat, and now had no right to claim Alpha ever again. He looked me up and down as I walked by, licking his lips a little. I felt my core tighten. I had to look away. That is what started this whole thing, that look. I was not going to let Sam break down my walls again.

I walked up to Jake, standing next to him as his Beta. He nodded at me, then began to talk over the boys. I heard a couple of comments coming from the back of the room. One of the voices was distinctly Quil. "So, her and Jake are a thing too? I thought it was her and Embry... "

Sam glared at me, then back at Embry. I saw Embry smile a little at Sam, which made a low growl rumble in his chest. I looked at the floor.

"Okay. So, most of you have speculations as to what is going on. Here is the short of it: The packs have merged. I am the Alpha, Leah is second in command, and Sam is third. That is it. There is nothing romantic going on within the pack that caused this." I heard a couple of snickers from the back of the room,"We need to work out a new schedule of patrolling, covering both our land and Forks. That we will handle in the morning. Tonight- Paul, Embry and Quil will be on patrol until dawn, since they have so much to say, Sam, Leah and I will take over at dawn. And as far as I am concerned, that is the end of this meeting." He placed his hand on my shoulder. There were a few groans, but it was over. Jake's word was law.

The room began to empty, and before I knew it I was left alone with Jake. He looked at me, and very solemnly said "Leah, If you ever- and I mean EVER, have sex with Sam again, I will not only kick your ass, but I will demote you." He was serious about the second part, and I knew it. I sighed, and he reached out and grabbed me in a hug.

"I'm sorry. He just... Has some kind of power over me... I just don't know what it is." I was on the verge of crying again. "Not that it is any excuse for my behavior. I won't do anything to upset the pack again..." I pulled away, wiping the tears that threatened to spill over.

Jake got a huge, evil grin on his face as he said the next thing, "Even if that thing is Embry?" He jumped away, knowing that I was going to hit him. I laughed when my arm missed him by a foot or so.
