So there was more of a reaction to Jake's mood in the last chapter than I expected, more so on the other site but a couple of you commented on it. So I decided to clear that up, I was going to do this later but I decided just to get it over with so you guys can understand more. Next chapter goes back to Johnny's POV.
Chapter 10 – Leah's POV
Oh Jake just shut up! I snapped, I say it's fine she knows, she's in danger! I didn't understand what was wrong with Jacob, he was making no sense.
We've been through this, He sighed, She's technically not in any danger.
That's a load of bull shit, Jake. What the hell are you talking about? Of course she's in danger! We are nothing like werewolves, she's not becoming one of us.
Where'd Johnny go? Seth asked. I listened and sure enough his thoughts were not with ours.
I didn't feel him phase. Embry said.
He probably did and we just weren't paying attention. Jake said matter-of-factly.
What is with you Jake? You're sounding more and more like Sam and you're making no sense with all your 'she's becoming one of us' crap. I snarled, it was a good thing I wasn't near him.
To tell you the truth, Leah… Jake was yelling at me now. I feel threatened by your son.
Oh… wait what? What? I asked aloud.
Being alpha I feel extremely territorial over my pack and my lands, whether I want to or not. And whether your son is trying to or not he's giving off an extremely territorial and alpha vibe. I can't help but feel short tempered around him.
But that doesn't explain why you're making up all this crap. I said.
He sighed, Your son doesn't need us. Part of him wants a pack but the other half isn't meant for pack life. I have no control over him, my commands wear off almost instantly.
So you're making up stuff to get him to leave? I growled lowly.
Well even if his very presence didn't set me off I wouldn't send my pack against those werewolves again. We have no idea how many are behind Nate. It would be suicide.
Werewolves work alone, I highly doubt there's anyone behind Nate. Seth said.
Exactly. Jake replied. I'm going back to Dartmouth with Renesmee soon but I can't leave until things are settled here.
That's why we need to solve this Mandy problem! I sighed, Jake…
Jake's mood became extremely irate suddenly and he snarled, I want nothing to do with your son, Leah. For 17 years we have had the time to work up extreme mental blocks, we can hold anything from each other. Jacob dropped his block then and we all saw the extreme torment Jake had to go through being around Jonathon. I cowered under the ferocity of Jonathon's vibe and Seth whimpered.
Jake… I whispered.
Do you see now, Leah? Jake snarled. All of his motions made sense now, almost every thought Johnny had with Jake was powerful, more powerful than Sam or Jake had ever been. It literally drained him whenever Jake used any alpha voice on Jonathon. I've always felt somewhat territorial around Kaase, I think it's worse with Jonathon because I'm in his mind.
I'm sorry. I thought, my body was still trembling from the power in Jake's memory.
You didn't know. Jake said. I need to leave, talk to Kaase. He can help Johnny more than I can. With that Jake's mind blinked out. Embry left seconds after he did without a word.
I'm on my way over, Leah. Seth thought. You go talk to Kaase.
I nodded to myself and took a deep breath, releasing my form and slithering back to human. I pulled my clothes on and trotted up to the house.
I hit the speed dial on my cell and called Kaase's cell. He picked up quickly. "What's wrong?" His voice was slightly panicked.
"I can't just call you at work without there being anything wrong?" I laughed.
"Sorry, I've just been on edge."
"Well there is something wrong so your reaction was reasonable." I took a deep breath. "Mandy's boyfriend is a werewolf. You need to talk with him, our pack doesn't stand a chance against a werewolf and you and Johnny do."
"Where is he now?" Kaase asked.
"We don't know." I admitted. "His mind left us when we were talking to him. I'm guessing he's with Mandy."
"I'm going to find him. Love you."
"Love you." He hung up to the phone. I felt like I should have warned him, Johnny seemed so much more dangerous now that I saw him the way Jake did. But it should be fine, Kaase was his father. I rubbed my face with my hands, trying to shove away the stress and lack of sleep that have come over me ever since my baby boy became a wolf.
