read and review, please and thank you
I hope everyones enjoying it so far, there will be drama ahead very soon ;)
I hadn't returned to the pack in almost a week, I refused to phase, I had come extremely close two days ago thanks to Paul, he knew how to push my buttons and get me worked up, I just couldn't face Sam and everyone else, I was however surprised, Jacob had stopped by, he was most likely the first person besides Sam and my dad to see me break down like that, it hit him hard, and I was happy he finally understood where Leah Clearwater was coming from instead of Samuel Uley. "Leah?" I waved for him to come in, "sorry I can go if-" he immediately shut up once my gaze returned to him, "Jacob its fine, what's up?" he seemed uneasy shifting from foot to foot and from what I could see and understand talking silently to himself, "go on just spill it, I'm sure whatever it is it can't make me feel any worse" I whispered, "um well its not nothing too bad just that we have another wolf pack visiting, and I was thinking of taking over…the Alpha position" I looked up cocking an eyebrow,
"and why am I being spoken to about that decision?" I leaned against my headboard patting the bed with my foot, "sit down you look like you're about to fall over" he chuckled nodding sitting at the foot of the bed, one leg underneath him and one hanging off the side as he faced me. "I…well, I was hoping you'd take up the position of my Beta" my eyes met his dark twilight blue eyes, "me? why me? why not someone else?" I was honestly intrigued, me and Jacob never saw eye to eye, hell I didn't see eye with anyone, not after what had happened, I honestly had become bitter, but there was nothing I could do about it. "Because, you're headstrong Leah, you don't back down, you're someone anyone can look up to, you've been through hell, and I see that now, I want you to have something, anything I want to give you this position because you deserve it, more than any of the other guys in the pack"
I nodded, "I'm not doing this to take pity on you" he added, "I'm not going to soften up on you either, I know it'll just piss you off more, I'm giving you this position – if you accept so you'll have a say with me, you'll be consulted, you'll have that rank because honestly I think you could take any member of the pack, there's something about you Leah, you're very…fierce, but it's so animalistic almost, so right there in your face and I need someone like that if I'm going to take this position." He had trailed off and his hands were now resting in his lap, "okay" that was all I said and he smiled, "come on then we gotta get going and I need to explain this to everyone before the other pack shows up" I stood up, "alright lets go" a brief smile won its way onto my lips and he returned it.
"Mom, we're heading off, pack business I'll be back later" I kissed her cheek before leaving with Jacob, she was mumbling unhappily about something under her breath which I didn't bother trying to listen to, me and Jacob walked in silence my gaze permanently fixed on the ground, but I could feel his eyes on me, every now and again. Reaching Sam's in roughly 10 minutes we walked in, or well I practically had to drag my legs in, everyone was over there, gorging on the food Emily had prepared, while she stood over the stove cooking more, "hey guys" Seth greeted us happily, stuffing his face with a burger, I smiled before leaning against the wall while Jacob sat just to my right on the couch.
"Are you hungry Leah?" I heard Emily once she made her way through the kitchen into the living room, "no I'm only here for Jacob and to meet the other pack" I replied sourly, she sighed and nodded frowning once she returned into the kitchen, "for Jacob? What are you two an item now?" Jared chuckled, which I only rolled my eyes to; I couldn't even bother to answer something so stupid, like that would ever happen. "We're here because, as everyone knows it's my right to be Alpha, and I've turned it down once before, but I'd like to step up and take the position now" Jacob spoke which to my surprise everyone stopped eating, Emily had even returned back, "you what?" Sam spoke, "I'm taking my place that's what" he added smiling, "why?" I could tell Sam didn't like the news; he enjoyed the power, the Alpha command, the status, "because after witnessing something…" Jacob's voice trailed off looking up to smile at me, "I think it's best if I take over, and of course, I want my own Beta, which is why Leah is here, Leah will be taking that position"
Seth grinned, once my lips had curved up into a sly smirk, "YOU WANT ME TO LISTEN TO HER? TO THAT BITCH?" Paul growled, "Sam say something do something" I looked over to see Sam, his eyes were on me, his face was plain, not giving away anything, "I can't Paul, if this is what Jacob wants then I can't, it's his birth right" he replied nodding, "you'll be a great Alpha Jacob I have no doubt" Jacob smiled appreciatively, everyone else nodding and congratulating him. "So when are the other pack arriving?" Jared spoke, "eh they should be here soon, which is why Emily's preparing so much food, we want them to feel welcome, this is the first time we're meeting others like us" Sam spoke, "they're from Alaska" he added, "so they don't live not too far from us" I took a deep breath in and settled down besides Jacob, "see I told you it would be fine Beta" he whispered and I shook my head fighting the smile which wanted so badly to pull through.
I pulled out my iPhone from my pocket, searching through the play list for something decent to listen to whilst the guys were talking amongst themselves, I reached over to the doorknob turning and letting the door open, a few seconds later Rachel, Kim and Embry's recent imprint Laura walked through the door giggling between themselves before cuddling up with their boyfriends. Emily had joined Sam on the couch and Jacob took my iPhone from my hand, along with one of the earphones after struggling to keep it, and we sat in silence, deciding to listen to Mario's crying out for me. "I'mma just go get some air" I nudged Jacob who nodded, "can I keep it or do you want it with you?" I stood up fixing my cream v neck sweater which hung to my curves, the skinny jeans, and black boots which finished off my attire. "Nah I'll be back soon, do whatever you want" I walked out the house pulling the door behind me.
I walked a few metres from the house, my arms folded against my chest, humming along to the song I could still hear inside, I gazed out into the woods wondering how my life had come to this point, how I lost everything I once dreamed of because of some old tales, which I never guessed would come true, growing up as a child, being told every Quileute your descendants were werewolves, you'd have given anything as a child to transform into something so magical, so great, yet now, I only saw it as a curse, fate just had a way of screwing me over, pushing me until I'd reach the limit where I couldn't take any longer, but not Leah Clearwater, I was stronger than this, I'd overcome it, sooner or later I'd be better, I hoped I would anyway. Turning I saw a two people enter the house, time to meet more wolves, oh joy.
Walking up to the door I made my way in to see, six guys and 3 girls, I assumed they were their imprints, the guys were just as big as the guys in our pack. "Nice of you to join us Leah…finally" Jacob teased, "yeah we called out to you but you seemed lost in your own world" one guy spoke and I forced a smile, "yeah I was deep in thought, sorry about that" I went to stand besides Jacob, "well lets get to the introductions…I'm Dean, the Alpha, this is Kurt, Rob, Gio, Dan and Aaron my Beta" he pointed to each who smiled, "this is Kate is my imprint, Sarah is Kurt's imprint, and Lisa is Dan's." He finished off as each girl waved, I bit on my lower lip at the mention of imprints, I would never be one, I'd never be loved the way they all way, I would only love someone one day like that, that's if I ever found them.
"Nice to meet you all" Jacob smiled, "I'm Jacob, the Alpha, this is Sam, Paul, Jared, Quil, Embry, Seth, Collin and Brady. Rachel is my sister and Paul's imprint, Kim is Jared's, Quil has Claire but she's a bit too young to be here" he smirked and Quil rolled his eyes, "Laura is Embry's imprint and Emily is Sam's" he nodded, "so I'm assuming Leah's your imprint?" Dean cut in, I couldn't help but let out a chuckle, "he wishes" Jacob rolled his eyes, "no actually, Leah is my Beta" he added proudly, their mouths fell open gawking at me as if I were naked, "a female shifter? No way" Gio added, "yeah she's one of a kind" Seth grinned proud of his sister, I grabbed him pulling him closer ruffling his hair and hugged him tightly, "no, I don't believe it, until I see it with my own eyes" Dean shook his head, "fine, but I need clothes, I'm not gonna shred these to pieces" I cut in, "hold on let me get you a pair of shorts and a shirt" Emily smiled making her way upstairs.
After changing into her clothes I thanked her glumly before I walked outside, everyone following, I felt like I was on show, a specimen. I held out my arms twisting and turning my body before I turned to watch them, "ready?" they all nodded. I started off with a job, and sprinted jumping into the air, the fire taking over my body as I shifted, my copper flawless skin no where in sight. Now I stood there with sleek gray almost silver fur, turning to watch the guys, their eyes were near enough almost out their sockets, "no way"…"fuck they weren't lying"…"no fucking way" and many more reactions were taking place, I saw Jacob walk up to me placing his hand on my head stroking me and receiving a growl in return, I wasn't to be petted. He laughed, "oh come on Leah play nice" I whimpered in return, wanting to phase back, and from what I saw he understood, my clothes were already in his hand, "come on then lets get you changed" I shook my head, snarling softly and nudging him with my head as we walked towards the forest.
I phased almost instantly as soon as we were away from everyone's eyes, his eyes were on my body, eye-fucking me as he stood his eyes roaming over every inch, crevice, and curve my body had to offer. "Enjoying yourself Black?" I asked slipping into my underwear, and then my bra, "very much so" his reaction startled me, it was unexpected, "pig" I replied, smiling unamused, "I'm a guy Leah what do you expect I see you naked almost everyday, besides with someone who looks like you it's impossible not to stare" he admitted, his cheeks tinting a soft pink just as mine did, I'd never received a compliment, not from anyone in a long while it felt nice to be noticed, but it was awkward and weird coming from Jacob, "thanks, same goes to you" I added and he raised his eyebrow smirking, "you like what you see when I'm naked huh?" he grinned leaning against the tree, striking poses, "so full of yourself, and like you said I see you naked almost everyday" I grinned and punched him lightly in his arm as we began walking back.
"Dude seriously, she's fucking something else" I walked in to notice all eyes on me, "something else?" I questioned taking my original seat as Jacob flopped down besides me, throwing his arm back. "Yeah, first female shifter ever do you get how special that makes you?" Aaron added, something was off about him, I could just feel it, he was staring at me so…differently, I couldn't find a word to describe it. Nothing really freaked me out, but this, or well he was beginning to, "I mean, there must be a reason you can, maybe we could talk sometime alone" Aaron continued winking, and receiving a growl from Sam. "Dude what? Not like she's your imprint" I rolled my eyes, "no, I'm only just his ex fiancée, I became his ex after he imprinted on our dear Emily, my cousin, imagine walking in on them fucking" I added, smiling for good measure, Sam hung his head in disappointment. The other pack sat there with stunned faces, "how do you just?" Gio spoke,
"How do I what? Stand to see them together? I can't but I have to, seeing as I'm apart of the pack, nothing much I can do" I added and Jacob put his arm around me, usually, no every time I would have shrugged it off, but I didn't instead I moved closer to him, laying my head onto his chest and took my iPhone from his hands aimlessly looking through it, "its okay I'm here for you, if you want to leave at any time you tell me and I'll take you home yeah?" Jacob whispered into my ear, "you two look good together, shame you never imprinted on one another" Dean chuckled and I looked up at Jacob nodding at his question ignoring everyone else around us.
