Chapter 10 - I Just Can't

"WHAT?"

Leah physically jumped as he brother roared in human form. Embry pulled her behind him as a defense mechanism.

A glass flew across the room and shattered against the wall. As Sam and Jared grabbed Seth's arms and physically restrained him out the front door and into the front yard. The imprints stayed inside as the rest of the pack went out to help re-assure their brother they would find his imprint and kill the leech that abducted her.

Seth glared at Embry like he would honest hurt his sister. He was enraged with angry coursing through his whole body; he was so pissed he could feel himself getting ready to phase in the middle of Sam and Emily's front yard, but was honestly trying to stay human as long as possible until they could figure out what to do.

Seth's fists were clenched and by his sides, "Sam what are we going to do? I realize she was his imprint first, but he's a damn leech." His voice was low and almost had a demonic sound to it. He'd never in all his life been so pissed off. Even though on the inside he was scared as hell that he would never see Kiley again.

Briar had witnessed the exchange between Paul and Kiley through the upstairs bedroom window, by the time she grabbed her cell and tried calling Jake, Paul had disappeared into the woods with Kiley. When she walked outside she saw Embry and Leah standing in their human form as Leah frowned.

Leah felt that she'd let down Seth by letting a leech take his imprint. But her and Embry were in such a state of shock to see their now ex-pack brother as a filthy leech neither could move and were scared they'd hit Kiley if they attacked Paul. Leah's frown deepened and for the first time since she'd been part of the pack she blinked and tears slid down her cheeks.

Embry spun around as soon as he felt her sadness and his eyes widened in shock he'd never seen Leah cry before. And he'd never felt her in this sad of a state. Embry approached Leah carefully as he took her beautiful face in his huge hands and tilted her eyes up to meet his worried brown orbs, "Le, what's wrong?" Leah looked at Embry and then over at her little brother, as she walked around Embry and went to stand in front of Seth.

Leah reached out and grabbed his forearm...It was scorching so hot it nearly burned the palm of her hand and fingers, she knew it was just from his anger. Her tears continued to fall like rain on her tan cheeks, "I'm so sorry Seth...I didn't mean to freeze up like that I should've stopped him before he had a chance to get her. I'm so sorry. It's my fault he took Kiley. Blame me please. Don't blame Embry."

Seth frowned as he jerked his sister into his arms and kissed the top of her head, "Leah why on earth would I ever blame you? You are not the one who took Kiley from the rez. That filthy bloodsucking piece of shit did." Seth gripped her shoulders as he pushed her away from him so he could look into her eyes, he pushed her tears off her cheeks with his thumbs, "Leah this is not your fault. Don't even think that it is."

Seth brushed his lips against her forehead as Embry walked up and wrapped her in his arms as she buried her face in his neck and cried. She couldn't stop the tears.

Seth began pacing his anger had been dissuaded when his sister began to cry over the guilt that was eating away at her. He felt bad because he honestly didn't blame her and didn't want her blaming herself or Embry either. The only one he honestly blamed was Paul.

Seth could feel his anger rising up again as he spared a look at Sam, "I'm going for a run...Please think of something Sam. I can't just let him keep her. I know what he's thinking. He's thinking if he changes her she'll be his forever. But even as a vampire she'd still be my imprint." Sam gripped Seth's shoulder, "Don't think too much on it Seth, We'll figure it all out. I promise." Seth nodded as he suddenly backed away from Sam and phased, he shook out his sand fur as little bits of his shredded shorts flew all over the place. He looked at Sam once more who nodded at him before he turned and tore off into the trees.

Lip kissing lips, as his tongue swiped her lips and her mouth opened granting him access to taste her as their tongues crashed together. They both groaned out at the taste and feeling. His hands cupped her cotton covered breasts as his lips started trailing warm wet kisses down her neck and across her throat and then back up the other side of her neck as his lips slowly kissed her ear lobe, "Kiley." Both of their breathing was erratic. Her fingers went through his thick hair as she fisted a handful of his hair and moaned at the sensation of his lips on her tender flesh, "Seth."

"Seth...I missed you so much."

As Paul growled out a cuss word, "FUCK!" he violently pulled his lips from Kiley's as he jumped off of her, she wasn't fully awake when he'd decided to kiss her.

Kiley's eyes flew open, when she saw Paul standing next to the bed she was just aware she was laying on, she scurried off the bed and into the corner as she pointed at Paul, "Y-You s-s-stay the hell a-away f-f-f-from m-me."

Paul's eyes darkened as he slowly moved towards Kiley, "Why are you saying that Ki. You're my imprint. It's not my fault I was changed into a disgusting bloodsucker. But you still love me don't you Ki."

Kiley was shaking from head to toe as she frowned and began to sob. She wanted Seth. She only wanted Seth. She couldn't stop the tears as Paul stalked closer, "Tell me you still want me Kiley. Please. You're the only one I've thought of for the last ten and a half years. I killed the bitch who made me a leech and her whole family because it was all a big plan to pretend to kill me. The coroner was in on it. He pronounced me dead and I wasn't. His daughter and son were both leeches and she wanted me. Please Ki...Please tell me you still want me...That you still love me."

Kiley couldn't even speak as she sobbed.

"TELL ME!" Paul's voice roared.

Kiley shook her head violently as she looked at him through watery eyes, "I don't love you anymore P-Paul..."

Kiley slid down the wall as she pulled her knees into her chest, "I just can't."
