Cliff hanger, I know. Sorry, I wanted to make you wait. 'Kay, Leah's gonna have a convo with Eli. It'll explain a little. Oh, and, I made a mistake! Paul doesn't have an imprint. I just wanted to clear that up.

Leah sat beside me and smiled gently at me. "I'll take it from here," she said to Emily. Em looked surprised, but patted my arm and gave me a smile as she walked away.
I stared out at the water and made my stream of tears stop, and I put on my brave face. Leah's shoulder bumped against mine and she sighed, "Love stinks, right?" I nodded and glanced at her. Her face was unreadable, but hard. "I know what it feels like when the person you….you love," she cleared her throat. "Is with someone else. It hurts. Like, Emily stole Sam from me. But…but I have forgiven her."
She let out a deep breath. Leah looked like she was about to start screaming, but she was being so nice to me. And I couldn't believe it. But I listened to her statement; she wasn't done. "But you are not in the same situation I was in. Seth really cares you, Eliza. He was dumb, like boys always are, but he really, really cares for you. Talk to him. He's just confused right now."
I stayed silent as she said this, stayed still. She pulled her hair out of her eyes and crossed her legs. "When I saw him with those girls, I just snapped. I know it's stupid for me to be acting like this, but I was going to explode. Into tiny bit all over the place. Just 'poof' then I'm gone." Leah cracked a smile and bumped against me playfully. I laughed and bumped her. "But seriously, I was going to explode. And, Paul and Jake won't leave me alone about it." I took a deep breath and looked back at the water.
"But when I see him, I feel like I'm floating on a cloud. And talking to him is like really hard to do, because I think I'm going to say something crazy or stupid. I just act like an idiot with him around me. But when he's with me, I feel happy, and like no can touch me, because he's with me. And no one else." I felt strong and light after I let that out, then when I look back at Leah, she's gone. And a blond-haired red-eyed man was sitting in her place. I jumped away from him in surprise, and he caught my chin.
The man was beautiful. His pale skin glistened in the sun like a diamond, and his short blond hair was shooting straight up in a Mohawk. The red eyes, like rubies, stared deep into mine. Then he spoke, "Little Human, don't be scared." But I was. I was terrified. I wanted my Seth to come and save me. His hand stroked my cheek, and a chill when down my spine. "Oh, Daria will be happy with me." He touched my lip, and it trembled. "Who's Daria?" I gathered all my courage and pushed him away. I mean tried. "My boss," he said simply. "And since you won't be alive much longer, I should tell you who I am. I'm Kane." Tears went down my face again.
Then I heard the sound that saved my life; a growl.
A big, and I mean BIG, sandy wolf lunged at Kane. But as Kane flew away from me, his rock hard finger hit my nose and broke it. I fell over and clutched my nose as I watched two more wolves came bounding onto the sand. A back wolf and russet wolf bit into Kane's shoulders and pulled him away from me.
I stayed curled up into a ball as the growling stopped and the sandy-wolf went into the forest. The blood was gushing from my nose as I tried to rest it. My tears mixed with the blood, and made a pinkish puddle in the sand.
Seth came running from the forest with no shirt and cutoff jeans. I was amazed to see him, but I just figured it out. Seth was the sandy-wolf. I don't know how I knew that, I guess it just was a gut feeling.
Seth's hands were holding up my face to look at my nose, then he said, "Are you okay?" I touched my nose, still bleeding, and shook my head no. Seth ran a hand over my head, and easily lifted me off the ground and we started walking.
