Double Trouble
Caleb's P.O.V
We step into the woods and suddenly I don't know what to do. Yesterday I was normal and then after some mood swings I turned into a giant wolf killed some very cold and hard sweet smelling things, fainted, woke up kissed Leah and then like the cool person I am fall unconscious again. Then I wake up find out she was meeting her ex and turned into a giant wolf and run to the diner and act quite out of character. I was lucky to be wearing jeans, I would have walked in there buck naked if Seth had thrown me a pair of jeans, I had kind of destroyed the sweats I woke up in. But now that I was standing in the woods needing to turn into a wolf and I had no idea how to do it.
"Just relax" Leah tells me obviously sensing I didn't have a clue "It will come" Then she blushes, she was beautiful "you might want to take you jeans off and roll them up" I blush myself and nod before making a move to undo my jeans. Leah chokes and then looks away before walking away.
"Where are you going?" I ask
"Erm to change over there" she points a spot just behind a denser clump of trees, oh yeah, she had to get naked as well. My thoughts take a sudden change in direction but Jakes words haunt me so and I focus on anything but Leah changing just a few meters away. And she wasn't just changing clothes but actually changing form. I focus on what had happened, not on Leah, on being a wolf and then suddenly I have just got my jeans rolled when I am a wolf. It was going to take some getting use to.
I hear Leah in my head and then I see her step out of the trees and I am hit once again with the feeling of her as my center. I hear her gasp.
Caleb!
What? I look around wildly but see and smell nothing. What? Leah? But she was just looking at me.
Oh shit! I recognize that voice.
Kellan?
I could feel more presences in my head. The pack.
Guys could you not give us some time on our own? Leah growls.
Hell no! Embry laughs. Wouldn't miss this for anything.
Miss what? I was really missing something here.
Double imprint!
No!
Oh God it's going to be sickening!
Voices started merging till I have no idea who was speaking and felt a little dizzy.
I feel Leah suddenly bump into me and then run off I follow suit and focus on my new speed and power and the voices fade into the background and I enjoy running. When I get to my house I stop and try to think human, quite hard when I had enjoyed running as a wolf so much. So I wasn't expecting the change to be so sudden and I only just see Leah run away back into the forest before I suddenly remember she just saw me naked. When she appears again her cheeks are still pink. I smile at her awkwardly not just for what had just happened but because I didn't have my house key.
"No key" I say she only laughs and then kicks the door in.
"I'll fix that"
"Aren't I supposed to be the one kicking in doors? You know since I am the guy?" I ask following her into my house quickly closing the door before following her to the kitchen.
"If you live in the last century yes" Leah searches my cupboards and fridge. She seemed nervous.
"So" I start might as well bite the bullet no point in dancing around the subject "I now turn into a giant wolf"
"Yeah" Leah turns to face me. "Where do you want me to start?"
"How about who the blonde guy you met with is?" I hadn't wanted to ask the question quite that bluntly but it had been bothered me. It seems to take her back a bit.
"I meant about being a shifter?"
"Jake and the pack are coming round to explain all that. I have some questions just for you" I take a few steps closer to her.
"Oh well he is kind of hard to explain if you don't know about wolves and vampires"
"Ok, so he isn't some 'normal guy'?"
"God no!" Leah chokes on the words "I have imprinted on you!" Then her eyes widen "I didn't want to tell you like this " Then she smiles and it was so bright I couldn't think of anything but getting closer to her, her eyes sparkled with a softness I had never seen in them before. I was used to anger, laughter, nervousness not this. "but then you have imprinted on me"
"What is imprinting?" I ask taking a few more steps closer.
"It is hard to explain, but it only happens to us shifters and only once we phase for the first time. But it happens when we meet our soul mate, we see them and it is like we have found the source of gravity or well for me" she laugh a little "you made me phase for first time in three years. For your imprint you will be anything and do anything to keep them safe and make them happy" Leah looks up at me as I reach her only a few centimeters keeping us apart.
"Then I imprinted on you when we first met again" I pull her against me she gasps as electricity sparks between us "Actually it was when I was 6 years old, I have always only wanted to see you smile"
"No it can only happen once-" Leah starts to speak her voice husky and breathless her cheeks pink her eyes wide and soft. I stop her by kissing her as I had wanted to since I had first seen her again, as I had wanted to when I woke up yesterday, as I wanted to when I saw her in diner with that prick holding her hand. All this imprinting I had done had seemed to make what I already felt about Leah unignorable.
Leah P.O.V
He was kissing me again and this time I had no worries he was going to fall unconscious or stop! Caleb deepens the kiss and I move my hands over his chest to loop them around his shoulders. His hands start to move over my back up my side, my stomach up and up. I can't help the moan that escapes and his hand moves and covers my breast. My skin burned under his touch and my breathing hitches. His lips move down to my neck and I can hardly stand.
"Caleb" I say unable to think. This was moving fast but I had no thought to stop him, to stop us.
"Leah?" There is a teasing lilt to his voice. I pull his head up to kiss him again as an answer. I wanted him to know how I felt, how his words touched me deep inside, how he was melting the cold that I still has in my chest, how he made me feel special, safe and how I wanted to make him feel the same. But importantly I wanted him to know it wasn't because of the imprinting. Sure it had made me stick close but it was him that made me feel like this.
"It isn't because I imprinted on you" I manage to get out between sweet deep kisses "I- I- you-" I was finding it hard to concentrate.
Caleb draws back his eyes glowing and looks directly into my eyes and what I see in them makes my heart skip and the words slips easily out of my mouth
"It is all you, I love you because of you not because of imprinting. Imprinting on you actually really made me angry"
Caleb laughs and kisses me lightly on the lips.
"That doesn't surprise me" I laugh back but it is cut off as Caleb runs his hand down my back hot tingles left in its wake. And I knew there would be no more talking as we kiss again and again, passion growing until there was nothing but Caleb and me in this moment. We move through the house never separating and as we lay down on his bed and look at each other I feel the last of the ice in my chest melt completely and I fill with heat and love until it spills out and takes over the both of us.
Caleb P.O.V
"CALEB!" Leah's voice was loud and angry a huge contract to what it had been earlier. The memory of earlier makes me smile and my thoughts wonder from my empty kitchen cabinets to something very different.
"CALEB!" I shut the cupboard and start to move towards the studio where Leah was. Shit! The studio. I start to run arriving a little breathless mostly with nerves at the studio door. Leah wearing one of my t-shirts and boxers was an extremely pleasant sight. I walk over to her slipping my arms around her waist pulling her back to my chest.
"Yes?" I hope this will help cool her anger as she stares at the large portrait I had painted of her the night we first met.
"What is this?"
"Don't you like it?"
"I love it" She turns and presses a kiss to my jaw "but why did you show me all those flower paintings before?"
"Because you pissed me off with what you said" I reply simply placing a kiss on her head.
"When were you planning on telling me the truth?"
"Ah well I wasn't exactly planning on turning into a wolf but then I did and my plans kind of got interrupted" Leah nods and turns in my arms.
"Talking about wolves the pack will be here soon, what have you got to eat?"
"Nothing, Sky and Pixie have eaten me out of house and home again, I was going to get pizza"
"That will cost a bomb" Leah tells me.
"I have money, I own half the diner and make quite a good living selling my paintings. Plus they will be here in around 5 minutes"
"Half the diner!" Leah's eyes flare with anger so I kiss her quickly before she could shout at me, my new super hearing didn't like that.
There is a knock on the front door it swings open. We pull apart Leah's eyes widen and she looks down at what we are both wearing which wasn't much. It was clear what had happened between us.
"Where are you guys?"
"Where is the food?" That was Kellan.
"Kellan order some pizza will you, Skye and Pixie have eaten all my food" I shout "Leah and I will be with you in a second"
We hear footsteps head towards the studio as Leah and I smile at each other before running up the stairs before the pack could get a good look at us. After changing and the pizza has arrived we all sat down in my living room, there were a lot of people crammed in, so Leah sat between my legs, at first she had looked embarrassed but after snapping at all they guys and threatening them into shutting up she had settled against my chest and seemed quite happy. The pizza went quickly but the conversation lasted way into the night. By the time the pack left some for patrol others for bed my mind was spinning. This was all so surreal my little brother had been a wolf for years! And I didn't know. I had already killed a vampire! Vampire! This was going to take some getting used to even if according to Jake and the pack I was a natural. Though they were all worried about what a double imprint would entail. Well they say a good nights sleep helps everything.
I catch Leah's hand as she moves past me to the door.
"Stay with me?" I ask softly. Leah turns back smiling softly before stepping back into the house and closing the door. It will be a very good night with Leah sleeping by my side.
Andreas P.O.V
I watch the sleeping couple. Caleb was curled around Leah protecting her even in sleep. I place the letter by the side of the bed but don't move away. Instead I watch them for a little longer something ached inside of me. I frown at the feeling. What was it? Leah shifts in her sleep Caleb moves with her. I feel the ache again. Did I want that? And if I did was it the love or the sleep. I close my eyes, I remember little about my human life but I do remember one thing, the bliss of sleep. Escaping into that dreamland. I step away back into the shadows glancing at the sleeping couple one more time. Wishing I could sleep, but I couldn't sleep not till this was over.
Thanks for reading. Please review.
