Forbidden Ties Chapter 9

Josie's POV

I couldn't believe that Uncle Sam would tell me to leave the pack. I almost heard my dad's mouth hit the floor from hanging open.

"Sam...?" my dad questioned him; not believing what he had just said was true.

"Jacob, she is in love with a leech, she's betrayed us," Sam countered.

"You wouldn't really take my daughter away from me...would you?"

"Sam, I am not going to let you make Josie leave the pack just because she's with one of them," Nick, one of the younger brothers around my age spoke up.

"What?" Sam asked, as if challenging him.

"I said I am not kicking my little sister out of the pack just because she's in love with a bloodsucker." His statement put most of the pack into complete shock.

Finally, the rest of my brothers agreed. Sam's decision was overruled by the younger generation of the pack. I was not going to be kicked out, but there was still the issue of my imprinting.

My dad started to get up to leave, I jumped up from my seat and sprinted over to his tall frame, "dad...I have to talk to you," I said while avoiding his eyes, trying to look over and past his shoulders. I turned my head only to be met with his gaze, expectantly waiting for my answer.

I began, but couldn't find the right way to tell him. I looked down at my hands again and fiddled with the ring on my index finger, absentmindedly twisting it.

I sighed, realizing that I would have to do this some time or another, "Dad, I... I love Ethan. I love you too, but I just can't live without him. I'm sorry, but...I ...I imprinted on him."

I looked up, only to be met with the fuming face of my father, which looked red all the anger radiating off of him.

Through clenched teeth, he uttered the words I was so desperately hoping he would find a reason not to say, "You are coming with me, and you are never to see him again." I whimpered pathetically as he grasped my wrist and started to pull me towards the door, all the while, I beat his arms, back and chest as hard as I could to be free from his grasp. I saw Ethan start to come over to me, looking like an actual vampire for once, but Edward held him in his iron grip letting him nowhere near me.

Then, the thing I least expected happened. Long, flowing black hair whipped past me and stood in the path of my dad. I saw that it was Leah. She stood defiantly with her hands on her hips daring my dad to take a step past her.

"Leah, get out of my way. I don't want Josie here anymore, MOVE!"

I heard the loud smack of skin hitting skin and saw my dad's head turned to the right, still in that position from the hit. Leah stood there, seething at my dad. My dad looked so confused and hurt, but didn't drop his façade because of being second Alpha.

"How dare you Jake? She obviously loves him! You can't just break them apart." My dad finally dropped my hand and I brought it to my chest, trying to soothe the pain. Ethan started to walk over again, but Edward kept his hold on him, whispering something into his ear, too low for me to hear.

Leah was really getting mad now, "Do you think that Brooke would want Josie to leaver her love? Obviously those two can't live without each other! SHE IMPRINTED ON HIM. Get it through your thick skull. Just Because You Have Your Issues With Vampires, It Doesn't Mean Other People Should Have To Deal With Them Too!"

"How dare y-"my dad was cut off by Leah once more.

"SHUT UP! Don't tell me how I should act just because you are second in line to Alpha, it doesn't mean ANYTHING. THIS IS NOT THE WAY BROOKE WOULD HAVE WANTED YOU TO TAKE CARE OF HER DAUGHTER. Put your stupid animal instincts aside for once and be her dad." Leah screamed, her voice getting louder each sentence. "Don't you get it Jake," she said, her voice softer now," you're hurting her."

My dad finally turned to face me, his face full of regret and sorrow. He turned on his heels and gathered me up in his oversized arms in one of the biggest hugs ever.

"It's ok Josie...go, be with him," he said into my hair after giving me one final hug. I stepped away from my dad and started to make my way over to Ethan. Suddenly, the large bodies of my brother's were in the way.

"Josie, you didn't think that we would let you go that easily, did you?" Marc asked.
