A/N: Okey dokey.
This one, Sam finally finds out!~Le gasp~
Ok so it's not that dramatic but still.
Loving the reviews.
Apologies spelling, grammar and OOCness
Disclaimer see first chapter
Things went very badly very quickly.
'Traitor!'
Sam snarled at Jacob as the two wolves circled one another other. Teeth bared and growling viciously Jacob stood his ground against his alpha, glaring back despite his wolf's urge to submit.
The others stood scattered around them.
Jared, Colin, Quil and Brady snarled at Jacob as well, outraged that their pack brother would align himself with 'them', while Paul, Leah, Seth and Embry were silent.
Sam could just barely feel some of the emotions coming from the wolves, but from what he could feel they seemed to be extremely anxious. Not surprising since Jacob had chosen to face off against his alpha because he'd somehow fallen for a bloodsucker. So Sam didn't really pay too much attention to them.
It all started that morning.
Jacob had called the entire pack together because there was something they needed to know.
There was yet another impending leech attack coming, this time it was much bigger than the fight against Victoria and her newborn army, stronger too. So Jacob told them and tried to explain who this Volturi was.
Sam wasn't surprised to find that, the Swan girl was at the centre of it all yet again. For some reason Bella had decided to join a new legion of vampires and as a result her new coven would be visiting Forks some time in the future.
Apparently the psychic Cullen leech is the one that told Jacob about it. She had a vision and although the vampire didn't know exactly when the Volturi would be arriving in Forks she said it's going to happen sometime during the end of the winter, meaning it was almost six months away.
That much Sam could handle.
They've dealt with vampire attacks before, they could do it again. Even if they had to join forces with the Cullens again, and he'd really rather not, it's nothing they haven't had to do before.
No, what Sam couldn't handle was Jacobs revelation of how he came to receive this knowledge.
For the first time in months Jacob let down his defences and let Sam see what he's been hiding behind his mental block all this time, although he still managed to keep some things hidden.
The pack was bombarded with visions and scent, passed memories and voices most of which belonged to Edward Cullen.
And while all of these thoughts were unsettling, what rocked Sam and the rest of the pack to it's core was a memory that held the telepathic vampire's next words.
"You're my mate."
He's been hanging around the Cullens.
God not even just hanging out.
'All this time you've been screwing around with a bloodsucker! Why?!'
'Because I love him!' Jacob growled as he and Sam just kept circling each other.
'You what?!' Brady almost screeched in surprise, 'Jake you can't mean that-'
'Yes I do'
'No you don't!' Jared snarled as he took a step forward, 'They are the enemy Jake, you couldn't have fallen for one of them, it's unnatural, impossible-'
'As unnatural as Quil imprinting on a two year old?'
Quil instinctively took a step back.
'Jacob that's different and you know it' Quil barked, 'Claire isn't a killer!'
'And neither is Edward! None of the Cullens are, they've been living in Forks for years and have never hunted a single human since they've been here. Sam you know that they never will, but for some reason you still have us patrolling every fucking night-'
'No. We have been out patrolling every night, while you've apparently been fucking a God damn monster! All these months I knew something was wrong, but I thought I could trust you Jake. Well I won't make that mistake again.' Sam stopped moving and stood at his full height, teeth bared and the full presence of the alpha forced down on Jacob causing the russet wolf to let out a slight whimper as he was forced to lie on the ground.
'Jacob you're forbidden from leaving La Push, if you so much as try to run off and see that Leech you'll be sorry is that understood?'
Another whimper left Jacob's throat.
'I said is that understood!'
'No...'
The entire pack stared at Jacob in surprise and Sam snarled, 'What did you say?'
'I said no.'
Jacob let out a yelp as he pushed himself up onto his feet. The wolf's legs seemed to wobble a bit and Jacob had to use all his strength to lift his head.
The sound of a chain breaking rang through the air.
A force inside of Jacob was coming loose, slowly breaking the steel bonds that surrounded it. The wolf's eyes snapped up to lock onto Sam and he let out a vicious snarl.
'You can't make me stay away from him'
Sam moved closer to Jacob and he let out a bark, 'Like hell I can't, I am alpha and you will do as I say'
'WRONG!'
An ear bursting growl left Jacob's throat and his voice boomed through the pack's mind link, all the wolves took a step back as another force pressed down on them.
Sam shrank back a bit before moving forward again, 'You can't deny me! It'll be a cold day in hell before I let one of my wolves go running around with THE ENEMY!'
Jacob shrank back as well before he moved forward again.
The rest of the pack could do nothing but wait and watch as the power struggle between the two alpha's went on.
'It'll be even colder before I let you try to force me away from Edward'
Sam crouched back and his muscles coiled as he glared at Jacob, 'Is that it then, you'll choose a fucking parasite over us?'
Jacob crouched as well, 'Yes.'
Sam let out a snarl and made to pounce when Seth suddenly jumped in front of Jacob followed by Leah both of whom were flanked by Embry and Paul.
'Move!' Sam barked making the others shrink back but stay where they were.
'What are you doing?!' Jacob hissed at the four standing in front of him who simply held their ground before they started growling at Sam.
'Something I should have done a long time ago'
Jacob felt Seth start to open his mind and instinctively forced his mind to stop it.
'No Jake! They need to see this' Leah barked as her mind opened as well along with Embry and Paul's.
Thousands of memories started streaming through the mind link and Sam's eyes widened at what he saw. Seth, Leah and Embry even Paul was... they were-
'You're still young you have your whole future ahead of you, Seth.'
'Please Leah, I promise we'll have fun!'
'Tell me why you can't stay over again'
'Come now pup, you can't be getting tired yet'
'Not yet, we just have to wait a few years'
'Why do you have to be such a stubborn wolf?'
'C'mon babe, there's a spot up in the mountain's I want you to see'
'It's nice feeling a heart beat again, even if it isn't mine'
'I love you Seth'
'I love you Leah'
'I love you Embry'
'I love you Paul'
'You are my soul'
'Jesus' Quil broke the silence and instinctively took another step back, the wolf's jaw hung open while Jared, Collin and Brady looked about the same.
Sam on the other hand was furious.
'ALL OF YOU?!'
'Yes Sam, all of us.' Paul snarled as he took a step forward.
'Messing around with a coven of leeches.' Embry stepped forward as well.
'Ain't that a bitch?' Leah drawled tilting her head to the side in feigned indifference.
Seth stayed silent and chose to growl as he stared the man down. Sam almost winced back at the challenge and rage coursed through his veins in a surge.
The alpha's mind blurred and he instantly move to eliminate this challenge in dominance.
'ALL OF YOU ARE EXHILED!' Before any of the others could move Sam pounced on Seth, the wolves scattered just before the sandy wolf let out a howl of pain as Sam's jaw clamped down on his leg.
Leah instinctively jumped, knocking Sam away from her brother. They tumbled onto the ground and Leah moved back. The grey wolf's jaw snapped and she snarled at Sam.
'BASTARD! You'll pay for that!'
Jared suddenly moved to pounce on Leah when Paul moved first, the silver wolf forced him onto the ground and pinned him down as he growled viciously.
Embry immediately stood in front of Seth's pained form while Collin and Brady stalked forward, as they exchanged snarls and sharp barks.
'ENOUGH!'
Jacob's voice suddenly boomed and the force of his alpha immediately made everyone freeze and sink down to the ground.
'This has gone far enough!'
'Agreed! All of you get the hell off of the reservation,' Sam growled as soon as he'd pulled himself together, 'You are hereby exiled from La Push, if ANY of you set foot here again. You'll be treated just like your precious leeches would, you'll be killed.'
Jacob, Leah, Embry, Seth and Paul all let out a whimper of pain as they were forced from Sam's mind. Jared moved out from under Paul and Collin walked on after Sam.
As Jacob looked up he found Quil staring at him with a pained look on his face while Brady's expression held a look of heartache, until Quil nudged Brady before turning back and they both left as well.
"Agh!" Jacobs head snapped down to Seth, the wolf had shifted back to human and Jacob was shocked to see that the boy's leg was almost bitten clean off, with only a few tendons and muscle still keeping it attached.
Leah phased back as well and didn't even put on any clothes as she went to kneel down beside him. "Seth!"
'We have to get him to Carlisle!'
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Jasper sat outside on the front step, his eyebrows were knit in concentration as he sent out waves of calm all around him.
Rosalie stood a few feet in front of him, tapping her foot impatiently as she glared at the sky. Emmett had taken to dragging boulders out from the forest and breaking them in an effort to keep himself busy. Alice sat next to Jasper with her face contorted in the same look of concentration as the pixie tried to force a vision that could tell her something.
Anything!
Edward however was the worst by far.
The telepath was pacing infront of the house glaring fiercely into the forest, occasionally lifting a hand to rake through his hair or bite his thumb. It was as though Jasper wasn't helping at all, although the truth was he knew that if he wasn't trying to keep them calm they'd all have broken the treaty by now.
It was getting late and they hadn't gotten any word from Jacob or any of the others.
Edward was a wreck.
Jacob had refused to let his mate go with him when he talked to Sam, for fear of the alpha losing it and announcing war. So Edward was forced to wait like the rest of them.
Not that Jasper was doing any better than the rest, the only thing stopping the empath from doing something reckless was the fact that he was too preoccupied trying to keep his siblings calm to give too much thought to charging over the border.
Although he couldn't deny that it was getting harder.
Things would be so much easier if Seth was there, the shifter always managed to keep him calm and it was easier influencing the emotions of those around him when Seth was there to keep him relaxed.
The empath took a deep breath in an effort to try and calm himself when the faint scent of blood hit him.
Jaspers eyes snapped open as he tried to place the scent.
Was it human?
No but not an animal either.
A shifter.
Sweet, alluring and fresh... like chocolate and mint.
Seth.
Jasper moved in a blur, barely paying attention to his siblings as he tracked the scent of his mates blood until he stopped and froze at what he saw. Leah, Embry and Paul were all in their human forms as they walked close to Jacobs wolf.
Leah and Embry seemed to be holding something in place on Jacob's back while Paul brought up the rear.
Leah's head snapped up to meet his gaze, "Jasper, Seth needs help."
Jacob stopped along with Embry and Paul and Jasper rushed over as they carefully lifted the boy up and off of Jacob's back. Jasper stared down at the shifter as Leah cradled him in her arms and he lifted a hand to brush his fingers against Seth's unconscious face.
"Fuck what happened?!" Emmett's voice suddenly came from behind him but Jasper paid any attention to any of his siblings.
"Seth."
Edward's eyes focused on Jacob's mind and he let out a hiss, "Sam happened."
Rosalie ran over to Paul and threw her arms around his neck, while Alice went to crouch behind Leah and placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Is the doc home?" The female shifter asked staring at Seth's leg with concern, "His leg's healing but it's-it's not..."
Leah couldn't finish her sentence, Seth's left leg was a mess. The boy's leg was healing in a very unnatural way, the tendons had stretched out to meet each other and skin was slowly growing over the wound. Causing a kind of short extension on his femur bone that twisted the wrong way.
It would take an act of Carlisle to fix it now.
"Yes, he's home. Rosalie go ahead and tell Carlisle what happened." Edward said and for once Rosalie didn't growl about orders and disappeared back the way of the house.
"Why did Sam-"
"Seth stood up for Jake and they told him about us." Edward explained as he continued to stare at the wolf in front of him. "So he exiled them and attacked Seth."
"Shit." Emmett mumbled as he pulled Embry close to breath in his scent. "What now?"
"First we need to get Seth to Carlisle we'll deal with the rest later. Jasper?"
The empath blinked as he was snapped out of his shock induced coma and it all came down on him at once.
Sam attacked him.
The fucking mutt injured his wolf right after he kicked him out of his home.
He hurt Seth.
Everyone around Jasper took a step back and Leah winced from her seat on the ground as rage crashed over them in thick waves. They all had to hold themselves back from acting on the fury that was being forced on them, Leah had to step away from Seth before she phased along with Embry and Paul, and Jacob started growling uncontrollably. The shifters jaws snapped and snarled while Edward, Alice and Emmett hissed viciously.
Jasper slowly got up and his eyes fixed on the forest behind them glaring in the direction of La Push.
If that damn dog thinks he'll get away with hurting his mate, he's got another thing coming.
Jasper suddenly pulled in all his rage and the others collapsed around him. Before he left in a blur.
"We have to stop him." Alice breathed as she picked herself up, "Edward, he's never been this angry before. We have to stop him."
"Jesus, he could kill everyone on the reservation at this rate." Emmett said causing the shifters to push themselves up off the ground and stand on their feet.
Edward gave a nod and ran after his brother with Emmett and Alice following close behind. Jacob made to follow as well, but looked over his shoulder at the others.
'Embry, you and Leah take care of Seth. Paul, you and me are going too'
Leah gave a nod and shifted back as the two wolves turned and headed straight for La Push.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
"And you're positive that they're involved with the cold ones?"
Sam stood in front of the tribal council, with his shoulders back and his eyes steady as he stood at his full height.
After the traitors had left La Push, Sam called for an emergency meeting with the council to discuss what happened.
Naturally none of the tribe elders were pleased with the news and were less than pleased with the fact that Sam had exiled them without seeking council from them first. After all, there are only so many wolves living in La Push, losing five of their best certainly wasn't going to ensure its safety no matter what his reasons were for forcing them out.
"Yes," Sam answered in an even voice, "I saw it in their memories, my pack members can confirm it."
Jared, Quil, Colin and Brady stood behind him.
Jared and Collin both had angered scowls on their faces while Quil frowned and Brady had taken to biting his lip.
The council on the other hand looked a little different. Sue's face was masked as it always was but there was something glowing in the older woman's eyes, Sam couldn't tell if it was anger or concern.
Old Quil was in a better frame of mind. The older man was his usual stoic self and asked most of the questions that Sam answered. And Billy-
The tribal chief somehow looked even older than he was before, it was like something had broken inside of him. Something that was bleeding out into his chest as the man stared blankly in front of him.
"Where are they now?" Sue asked as she sat up a bit more in her seat.
"I don't know. With the Cullens most likely."
"At this point I don't see what we could do," Quil started as he leaned forward, "Seeing as how they have already been-"
The older man was cut off when Jared suddenly let out a growl and the shifter phased, followed by the rest of the pack. Sam took a deep breath and flinched when his nose burned with the smell off bleach before he phased as well.
'The Cullens are here?!'
'No way...'
'Son of a-'
Before Sam could finish his thought, the wind was suddenly knocked out of him and he hit the ground hard. He could hear the sound of bones crack as he and whatever hit him tumbled across the dirt before they came to a stop and he looked up to find Jasper Hale.
The wolf barely had the chance to register the honey blond hair and furious gold eyes when a fist connected with his chest and a few of his ribs broke, causing him to let out a yelp of pain.
Before Jasper could hit him again, Sam twisted his head around to lock the vampires arm in his jaw and bite down. Unfortunately the cold one didn't seem to care and the two ended up wrestling across the dirt. The other shifters could only watch since they might end up hurting Sam instead of the leech if they got involved, while the council could only gape at the scene in front of them when more bleach filled the air and Sam's pack immediately stood ready for attack.
Only the vampires didn't take any notice of them, the quileute's were surprised to see the vampires lock onto Jasper and pull him off of Sam, while the alpha stood panting a few feet away.
"YOU BASTARD, YOU'LL PAY FOR WHAT YOU DID!" Jasper screamed as he fought back against his siblings. Emmett had Jasper locked up from behind while Alice and Edward restrained his arms.
After a moment of shocked silence passed Sue shot out of her seat, "What the hell is going on here?!"
Suddenly a growl broke through the air before Jacob and Paul landed in front of the council as well. Sam's pack growled but the shifters ignored them and phased back, tugging on a pair of leg offs as they did.
"Jasper you have to calm down." Alice pleaded as she tried to keep a firm hold on his arm.
"NO! Not until Uley dies!"
"Jazz think about Seth, do you really think he'd want you here doing this right now?"
"Let me go!"
"Edward is right Jasper, Seth would be heart broken if he knew what you were doing right now and you know it."
"Seth?" Sue blinked in surprise as she stared at the blond vampire that was viciously trying to escape as he glared at Sam with burning rage.
"Exactly what happened when you exiled them Sam?"
"Sam attacked Seth, he almost ripped his leg off after we told them about the Cullens." Jacob said as soon as he'd torn his eyes away from his father.
Billy was staring blankly at Jacob and the shifter wished he could hear what his father was thinking.
"And why did he do that?" Old Quil asked as he watched the vampires as well.
"From what Leah told me, it would seem that Jacob has finally accepted his alpha heritage."
They all turned to find Carlisle standing a few feet away, the doctor walked up to stand beside Jacob and simply smiled at the wolves that growled at him as he walked passed.
"Cullen."
"Good evening Sue."
"Would you like to explain what's going on here, or at least why one of your 'children' broke the treaty and attacked our alpha?"
"Of course," the doctor smiled. "It would seem my children have found their mates in your wolves. Edward found his in Jacob, Emmett in Embry, Rosalie in Paul, Alice in Leah and Jasper in Seth."
"That isn't possible!" Old Quil said as he stood from his chair.
"I'm afraid it is, vampires have a very distinct and powerful protectiveness over their mates and judging from Jasper's reaction to Seth's injury. I have no doubt in my mind that it is very possible."
The council's eyes shifted to Jasper, the vampire was still hissing at Sam while his siblings tried to restrain him. Something passed in Sue's eyes but it had come and gone too quickly for Jacob to tell what it was.
"You said something about Jacob's alpha heritage." Sue said as she turned her gaze back down to Jacob.
"I'm afraid I don't know much about that, only what Leah told me before I came here."
"Jacob."
A light blush crept onto the shifters cheeks as he spoke, "Sam was being unreasonable, so I did what I had to."
"Unreasonable?"
"Sam tried to ban Jacob from seeing Edward." Paul said simply as he stared back at Sue.
"So you invoked your right as alpha to stay with the le-vampire." Jacob's head snapped up to meet his fathers gaze as he spoke only to come up with nothing as the look on his face was still blank.
The shifter took a deep breath and squared his shoulders, "Yes."
"You've accepted the vampire as your mate?" Quil asked with a raised brow.
"Yes."
The older man's eyes filled with some odd mixture of curiosity and confusion until he finally gave a sigh, "Well I guess that's the end of that then."
"What do you mean?"
"I think we can all agree that we'll disregard this situation, considering the circumstances," Quil glanced towards Jasper for a moment before returning his gaze to Jacob. "But that doesn't mean the treaty will change. You're all capable of making your own decisions so if you choose to stay with the vampires then there isn't much we can do about it."
"There can't be two alpha's Jacob, unless you want to return to La Push and take over as alpha here, I'm afraid you can't come back."
"So were still exiled?" Paul asked as he folded his arms over his chest.
"No just... excused, having Jacob and Sam around each other could lead to disaster. This is the only way to keep the peace."
"And what of the other wolves?" Carlisle asked with a steady gaze.
"They can only return if they accept Sam as their alpha and agree to never see their so called mate's again."
The Cullens froze and Jacob took a step forward, "Why?"
"Sam is still alpha of the pack Jacob, his word is the final say. Embry, Paul, Seth and Leah left because they refuse to stay away from the Cullens. If they want to return they can't see any of them again."
Jacob looked up at Paul who didn't seem to be too bothered by the verdict.
"Do you wish to return Paul?"
"No."
"Very well then. Cullen, remember, the treaty still stands none of you may come onto our land and if even one of you bites a human the deal is broken."
"Of course." The doctor said with a smile and a nod that Quil returned.
"I suppose that's everything." The older man stood to leave while Billy just stared at Jacob. The shifter took a step forward and Billy pulled back before turning his chair around and leaving.
Jacob's heart sank and the shifters eyes started to sting when two arms wrapped around him. He turned around and leaned into a cold chest as he fought back the urge to cry.
"I'm sorry, love."
Jacob's arms wound themselves around Edward's waist and the telepath started rocking back and forth.
'What was he thinking, could you tell?'
"He's angry at me, confused with himself and worried about you." Edward kissed the side of Jacob's head. "He loves you Jake, he always will. Just give him some time, he'll come around."
"God I hope so," Jacob looked up into Edwards eyes and leaned up to kiss him, "I'm yours and you're mine right?"
"Right." Edward grinned as he gave the shifter a deep kiss, completely ignoring the thoughts that the shifters beside him had in their heads before Sam called for them to phase and they left, although one of the wolf's thoughts surprised him enough to almost persuade him to tear his lips away from his mate.
Almost.
Meanwhile Emmett and Alice had let go of Jasper and Carlisle was trying to talk his son down from another homicide attempt. When a voice spoke from behind the blond.
"Excuse me."
The vampires turned and stared at the quileute woman in front of them, who hardly seemed intimidated at all as she stared at Jasper. "What's your name?"
"Jasper Hale." The blond ground out as he glared at her, there was something familiar about her scent and Jasper couldn't help but feel like he'd heard her name before. Unfortunately at that point he was still too pissed off to care.
"So my son is your mate?"
Jasper blinked in surprise, "Your son-"
"Sue Clearwater, Seth's mother." The woman said as she pierced Jasper in her gaze and the empath's eyes widened in surprise.
Almost going into a complete panic, Jaspers southern accent thickened as his head gave a slight bow. "It's nice to meet you mam."
Sue raised an eyebrow at the vampire but it was short lived as she was suddenly wrapped up in a hard cold and her eyes went wide.
The woman went completely stiff when she realised that a vampire was hugging her. Before it pulled back and gave the quileute woman a beaming smile.
"It's so great to finally meet you, wow you smell a lot like Leah."
Uh... thanks?
"And you are?"
"Alice, Alice Cullen," Sue gave a quick nod when she remembered Carlisle mention that Alice found her mate in Leah. "I've heard so much about you, Leah talks about you all the time."
"Really?"
"Yes, I don't think there's anyone she looks up to more."
"That's good to know." Sue's lips turned up into a slight smile before she looked up at Carlisle. "How is he, is he alright?"
The doctor smiled, "He's recovering very well, you're more than welcome to come by the house and see him anytime you like."
"Thank you."
"Oh! You can come shopping with me and Leah, it's so hard trying to get her to go with me. Maybe she'll go if you come along."
"Shopping?" Sue stared at the vampire until she caught Paul and the larger vampire waving their hands behind Alice's head as they mouthed, 'don't do it'.
"Maybe."
Sue said as she hedged on full commitment wich somehow only made Paul and the big vampire face palm.
"I should get going, I'll need to transfer Leah and Seth to Forks high if their not living on the reservation anymore." Sue turned one more look on Jasper who had gone from severely ticked off monster to teenager caught in the act.
From what she saw earlier, this leech loved her son. So much so that he'd risk getting himself killed, just to avenge an injured leg. Sure he might not be very bright, but his commitment and love was very clear.
It might not be the wedding she always envisioned for her son, but at least she knows that he has a protector that'll do anything to keep him safe.
Even if it meant starting a war.
"Seth is still... Take care of him."
"Of course." Jasper gave a sure nod.
Sue turned to leave when she tensed all over again as Alice hugged her.
"It really was nice meeting you mrs. Clearwater."
And as for Alice well...
Sue can't imagine how her cold and justifiably bitter daughter could fall for someone so-
Happy.
She needs to talk to Leah soon.
The woman swallowed and gave Alice's back an awkward pat, "Sue is fine."
Alice's hold tightened, "Sue."
As soon as Alice had pulled away Sue gave them a nod and walked off.
Carlisle gave a heavy sigh almost collapsing on the ground, "I can't believe they didn't kill us."
A/N: there it is, sucky ending but hey.
I'm gonna explain how Bella got to the volturi in the first place a little later so don't worry about that.
Did'ya like it?
Please review.
