Chapter 11

Legend

Jacob Black's POV

I woke up this morning feeling absolutely energise that I thought I was going to bounce off the walls. We were public. Me and Mel were finally together and I couldn't be on a higher high. I was relieved to say the least because I was desperately considering blowing everything and asking her out to the damn dance right in front of everyone without giving a damn if they started talking and staring. Seeing all those other unworthy, slimy guys ask her out every goddamn second of the damn day was really pissing me off to no end. And when Selena asked me or whatever she did, I honestly don't know what that was, I could see that same frustration in Mel's eyes because she wanted to go with me too, I just knew it. She had even admitted it. So I couldn't understand why we were hesitating in going with each other. And now we were going together because we were public and I couldn't be happier.

Colin and Brady had definitely told the others last night as I knew they would because when I arrived at school, the pack's smirks were wider than I've ever seen them. Paul slapped me on the shoulder, smiling like a mad man.

"Something you need to tell us?" he asked, enthusiastically. I chuckled and shrugged.

"No." I lied, teasing.

"Bullshit. What was that last night?" Colin asked, amused and elated. Brady nodded in agreement.

"I have no idea what you're talking about." I teased, smirking.

"Oh come on, are you and Mel on or not?" Embry asked, impatiently. I shrugged again.

"Maybe," was all I said but to them, it was a yes.

"Awesome! Dude, you are so lucky! So beautiful! And smart to boot. How often do you get the full package in a girl?" Quil enthused. I chuckled, watching out for Mel-Mel's arrival.

"I can't believe you! You had to date my sister?" Leah complained. I nodded, smirking, proudly.

"So has she said anything about when she's phasing?" Colin asked, interestedly. I shrugged.

"Don't push her guys. Let her do it in her own time." I ordered. They sighed as Mel's mom pulled up. I smiled, walking over, more like ran if I'm honest.

"Hello, Jake." Her mom greeted.

"Hey Jake!" Dylan greeted too. I chuckled. That boy loved us.

"Hey." I greeted, helping Mel out the car by the small of her back. She smiled up at me, blushing.

"Bye, you three. Be good, Summer. Give Andy a kiss from me." she told her. Summer smiled her sister's smile. Summer was like Mel's MiniMe.

They drove away soon after and I took Mel's hand, tenderly, smiling as I kissed her lightly. I saw the guys and Leah gawk at us in surprise and amazement. Mel saw and chuckled, shaking her head slightly. I grinned.

"Morning." she greeted, smirking.

"Greetings." they said. I chuckled.

"This is so weird." Seth complained.

"Oh well." I sighed, dismissively as we walked past them to our first class. They followed. Selena saw us and I knew that Mel was going to get hassle over something as simple as holding my hand. I swear, if Mel didn't do something about her then I was going to. We all looked at Mel as we walked past, seeing her smirking at Selena, tauntingly. We chuckled as we could practically hear her teeth grinding.

"You're asking for a fight." Paul told her, smiling in anticipation. Horny bastard. He'd do anything and be anywhere to see a bit of girl on girl. She shrugged.

"It'll give me an excuse to let off some of this irritation." she told him.

"I know another way." Seth piped up. She smiled but I frowned at him, disapprovingly. She sighed then, looking defeated. She stopped, looking thoughtful.

"Tonight," was all she said, confusing us.

"Tonight what?" I asked, concerned.

"I'll phase tonight." she explained and my eyes widened as did the others'. We looked at each other and raised our eyebrows.

"I don't know what the problem is with doing it anyway." Paul commented, confused. She shrugged.

"Just trust me. You'll have to see it to believe it." she riddled.

"Are you a mutated wolf or something?" Seth asked, at a loss. She chuckled but shook her head no.

"You'll see." she finalised as we settled into English.

Most of the day passed quickly, only the lessons that I wasn't with Mel were dreary which, thankfully, was only two of the today. We met up at lunch, eating slowly for once because she had prefect duty today and only had to go when she'd finished eating. Prefect. Trust Mel to get that position. The male one was Quil, naturally.

The last two periods passed quicker than this morning and we were already walking towards Summer's play school. We were joking about the Andy-Summer thing and how cute it was when we entered. The play supervisors probably heard us because they were smirking when we entered. We hadn't said a word and the male one told us to be quiet and beckoned us with his finger towards the corner. We frowned, amused and followed him. Peering around the corner, we saw Summer with her head on Andy's shoulder sleeping while he drew. I heard a little "Awe" come from Mel and I smiled. Andy saw us and smiled, otherwise not moving.

"You should have seen them at lunch. It was so sweet." the guy told Mel. She smiled, awed again. "Feeding each other bites and everything."

"She's been fine though yeah?" Mel asked, interested. He nodded.

"Yeah. Usually she talks about you all the time but she didn't even mention you once today. Only Andy." he informed her. She chuckled, peering around the corner again.

"And Andy?" I asked.

"Fine. Both fine. Though he was unpleasant to a boy who snatched Summer's dough out her hands." he informed us. I smiled. "Protective that boy." He chuckled. We joined in.

Being super quiet, we walked towards them as to not wake Summer. I picked Summer up, gently placing her to my chest with her head resting on my shoulder. I peered over to Mel and saw her smiling at us. I smiled back as she grabbed Andy's hand and we set off towards home.

Once we were in, I set Summer on the couch and Andy stayed with her, simply watching her, intensely. I looked upon them for a while before I felt Mel's arms wrap around my waist. I turned around, smiling.

"They're so sweet." she commented. I nodded, leading her into the kitchen.

Mel started on dinner and soon after Dylan came home followed by Angelina. I smiled at them both and I thought Dylan was going to have an aneurysm when I did. That boy seriously idolised me. He practically gazed at me all evening. It was kind of creepy but I left it alone. My mind was on tonight and the fact that I was finally going to see Mel-Mel in her wolf form. I've dreamed about it even more often now. I wanted to know what she looked like. Did she fight well? She could hold her own in human form, why not in wolf form too? And her colour! Black like Sam? Silver like Paul? Or russet brown like me? I hoped for the latter.

Andy and Summer I could see having a future if this went on for too much longer. At this precise moment, we were all snuggled in the living room. Mel with me. Summer and Andy. Dylan refused to cuddle anyone though he was sat the other side of me. Angelina was sat in the armchair across from us, watching Mel. Summer and Andy were cuddling adoringly. She had her head on his shoulder again and his head rested on hers. If they only knew what that meant for us older folks if we did that. It practically scream affection and it was a little weird to see little three year olds doing it but it wasn't like that. To them it was friendship and nothing more. It was a game to them. Perhaps they'd realise it was something more as they grew?

At seven, I volunteered to take Andy home as I was leaving anyway. I kissed Mel on the lips and Andy copied me, smiling up at me after wards. I gave him a thumbs up and hoisted him up on my shoulders. Both Summer and Mel were watching us walked down the street.

"So...she your girl?" I asked, amused. He nodded, seriously. "Treat her well."

"I will, Jake." he promised. I hoped he meant something other than what I jokingly meant. That would be weird.

"Mel's my girl." I told him. He giggled. "What, kiddo?"

"If you kiss a girl, does that mean she's your girl?" he asked. I chuckled.

"Kind of, I guess. Depends what type of kiss it is." I lied, partly. I does depend, right?

"If I kissed Sum as I did, does that mean she's my girl?" he asked. This kid was scaring me.

"You both have to feel the same, kiddo but give yourselves a few years."

"Why?"
"Well, um...you'll feel even better if you do."

"I'll wait then. Promise." I chuckled.

"Okay." I replied as we came to Brady's house. He opened the door, smiling, taking his brother from my shoulders.

"He been okay?" Brady asked, interestedly.

"Yeah but you may wanna pay close attention whenever he's with Summer. He just called her his girl." I warned. Brady smirked at Andy. He giggled.

"Your girl, huh?" he asked, amused. He nodded. "Alrighty, thanks Jake."

"No prob."

"We still on for tonight?" he asked after a moment.

"Think so." I told him. I forgot to ask.

"Cool. See you later."

"See ya." I called as I walked into the trees.

I phased, surprised to find most of them phased already. They greeted me in unison, wondering if Mel was with me.

No, she's not, guys. I told them.

Where we meeting?

The clearing? I dunno. Wherever she wants to.

But she's definitely coming? Sam asked. I nodded, running towards where they were gathered. I broke the trees into the clearing a time later and saw them all.

Just give her time tonight. She's definitely coming. But in her own time. I informed them. They nodded and then another topic surfaced in their heads. I smirked, internally.

I haven't even met her yet and you're already playing happy couples? Jared complained. I chuckled, gruffly.

That's the way it is. I said, dismissively.

You always get the girl.

Don't let Kim hear you say that. I warned him. He laughed, mentally.

What's up with Summer and Andy? Colin joked. I shrugged, replaying our conversation on the 'my girl' topic. They all laughed.

Whoa. Okay. Creepy. Paul laughed. I nodded.

So Mel's your girl, huh? Sam noticed that bit. I nodded.

Yeah so hands off. All of you. I ordered.

Whatever. I have a fiancée, anyway. Sam said, indifferently. They all agreed.

We all stood around, chatting and laughing. The time drew on and on, some of them giving up hope but I knew that Mel was coming tonight. I could sense it. Time drew on and Brady joined us after getting Andy to sleep at around 11pm (restless sleeper that boy) and even I was beginning to lose hope. That is until an hour later when her small human frame stepped out of the edge of the trees. We all stood to attention at once. This was going to be the first time she's ever seen us all in wolf form and I knew she was going to freak. Her eyes widened at the sight of us, and she began to back away but as soon as her eyes found mine, she caught herself.

Stay here.I ordered them as I took a step towards her. She took a little step back, hardly changing the distance. I whined, telling her it was okay before I phased back, pulling my shorts on. She seemed more comfortable with me in my human form now and took another step forwards. Her peripheral vision never left those behind me.

"You came." I said after a second. She nodded.

"Said I would." she replied, shortly. She looked extremely nervous.

"When you're ready. No rush." I told her. She nodded, glancing over my shoulder. "Don't mind them. They're fine."

"I know. I'm just trying to figure who is who." she told me, looking intently. She began to guess, guessing Quil, Seth, Leah, Paul and Brady right. Mistaking Jared for Colin. I must admit, they do look similar but she did good for someone who has just met them. "Is Sam and Jared there too?"

"Yeah, the black and brown wolf." I told her, turning towards them. I beckoned them forwards and she turned away as they phased and pulled their shorts on. They came strolling up to us, smiling.

"This Sam. And Jared." I introduced, gesturing to both individually. Sam held his hand out and she took it, smiling littly.

"Nice to finally meet you." Sam greeted, politely. She nodded in agreement.

"You too. I met Emily, she's very nice."

"Thank you."

"Hi, Mel." Jared greeted in his usual witty voice. I rolled my eyes as he hugged her.

"Hi." she replied, softly. "It's a pleasure."

"Yeah, ours." Sam added. She smiled, lightly. After a while, she became uncomfortable.

"Thank, guys." I told them, gesturing for them to rejoin the others. They nodded and phased back. "In fact, would this be easier if we weren't phased?"

She shrugged. "Maybe." she said. I nodded.

"You heard, guys. Phase back." I called over my shoulder. They were a collective grunt and I heard them do so. All the while, I assessed Mel and her reaction. She didn't disappoint as her eyes widened alarmingly and she back away as they approached us.

"Hey Mel." Seth greeted, lightening the mood. She smiled.

"Hi, Seth." she replied, taking us in again. She seemed to relax a little. She didn't speak anymore.

"You know, you can take all the time you need for this. It doesn't have to be tonight." I assured her. She shook her head.

"I said tonight. It's just...hard."

"Why is it? Just phase." Sam said, confused. She smiled, littly and apologetic and I gave him a discouraging look.

"It's not as much the phasing. It's your reactions."

"Why?"

"Just promise me that nothing will change, not the way you treat me." she begged. I frowned but nodded. "You promise?"

"We promise. Mel, what is this?"

"When I phase, you're going to associate me to one of your...our legends but it's mere coincidence, okay?" she said. It sounded like she was even trying to convince herself of that fact. We nodded, confused. What legend? WAIT! NO WAY! A legend associated with fur colour. There was only one. It couldn't be. No way. "Okay...Excuse me."

And then she disappeared into the trees. We waited, anxiously. This wasn't happening. She was not referring to the last spirit warrior legend! Some time passed and we sensed someone phase. It was particularly dark tonight and we found it hard to peer through the trees, even with or heightened sense of sight. But once the moonlight broke through the clouds overhead, we all gasped, very loudly. The moonlight shone directly on to her as she appeared out from the darkness and we all gawked in amazement; stunned that we were seeing this. I felt a few hands on me. I could sense the others disbelief. This was history in the making and I don't even think the whole thing has struck me yet.

She was how I imagined her – slender and small like Leah. Her features sent shock waves through my body as I expected them to. I felt the usual want to take her resurface and I knew the real reason. It wasn't solely to do with the alpha in me, or the fact that I had imprinted on her; it was her too. Her influence. People were simply drawn to her because of who her ancestor was. I understood why the guys and me took to her from the get go. There was only one other wolf with that colour fur in the history of the tribe and he was the second to last of that particular generation, Taha Aki's generation. He was the strongest, the fastest. It took 11 vampires to take him down during the fight to defend their village before the Third Wife stepped in to save Taha Aki and here I was practically gazing at his female replica. She was technically considered royalty in our tribe simply because of the colour of her fur and who she's inherited it from. All wolves were technically related somewhere in the blood lines. Some inherited something others didn't. This type of gene was only inherited once in a lifetime and it was hers. I was honoured to have a role in her life, maybe even the most important role – her mate, the person who gets to love her for the rest of our lives and have strong, beautiful pups and just be happy.

I don't know how long we practically drooled for. She stood patiently in her breathtaking form, not moving and looking away from us.

"Jake...She's...She's wh-white." Embry stuttered. Verbalising it made it even more real and I nodded, slowly. "How's this possible?"

"Dunno. But she is definitely white, man." I replied, distant. I was mesmerised. I don't even know what I'm supposed to be saying so I was surprised to know that it was coherent.

"What does this mean, Jake?" Seth asked, open mouthed. I shrugged.

"I have no idea but..."

"Show your respect." Sam ordered, finishing my sentence perfectly. They all nodded and bowed their heads. She growled as we did so. She didn't like it and she ran into the forest again. We couldn't bring ourselves to follow.

Sometime later, we didn't have to as she came walking out the tree edge, totally human. She was frowning deeply.

"Stop it. All of you stop right now. I told you not to make the connection!" she ranted but all we could do was stop and stare. Royalty right before our eyes. I still couldn't believe it. It all seemed like a dream. "Jake. Stop!"

"I'm sorry. We can't. You were right. We wouldn't have believed you if you'd just told us. Thank you for showing us, Mel." I said, politely. She growled.

"STOP IT!" she screamed, fuelling a new feeling to console her. When we all took a step forwards on the same feeling, she backed away, livid. "I knew it! I knew I shouldn't have shown you!"

"No, don't be like that. It was just a shock, Mel. You can't drop something like that on us and not expect us to react!" I reasoned. She sighed.

"I asked you not to though, damn it Jake!" she shouted, gripping her hair. "You promised. You promised that this wouldn't change anything."

"We didn't know what we were promising against, Mel. We can't just ignore this." Sam reasoned again. She growled, turning on herself into the trees. We phased and raced after her but she stayed true to the legend by being as fast as he was. The only thing that we could follow was her scent and the trail of clothes she left behind.
We could hear a faint tenor in our heads; her mind but it was so faint that we couldn't make anything out. There wasn't picture coming from her but it was clear that she was scared and feeling alone.

Mel! I shouted in my head, hoping, praying that she'd hear me. Mel, STOP!

I tried out my alpha tone on her feeling totally disrespectful. I figured if I could hear a fragment of her mind then surely, this would work. It did, sort of. Her running faltered but soon picked back up again. It seemed to slow her down.

Mel, please? I begged. I didn't care that they could hear me. It didn't feel like she was running from her legend any more. It felt like she was running from me and I hated that. I couldn't bear it. I sped faster, desperate to catch her. To assure her everything was fine was the only thing I had in my head right now. I didn't want to respect her if she didn't want it. All I wanted was her back here with me.

Jake... They all said together as they read my thoughts.

Mel! STOP! I screamed again. Her running faltered again and I felt myself getting closer to her so I sped even faster, as fast as my legs could take me. I could feel myself growing even closer and I wanted to do this alone. Go home everyone!

No way!

GO! I alpha-toned. They couldn't resist and they stopped running with me, running the opposite direction. And phase back when you get there!

I felt them shift and it was only me and Mel. No one else. She always seemed more comfortable this way. I ran after her, not bothering how far this would take us. All I could think of what having her in my arms, just consoling her. I hoped she could hear me. All I wanted was her happiness.

Mel-Mel, baby. It's just us, please stop. I begged, desperately. I could bring myself to order her anymore. I felt rotten as it is. Baby, please?

I felt her slow even more and I felt for sure that I was going to catch up. Only a few more miles and she'd be in my arms.

That's it, baby. I'm coming. Please, stop. I begged again. She stopped in some forest somewhere and I sped even faster. I was beginning to feel weary now. I've never ran so hard in my life.

Stop chasing me, Jake. I want to be alone. She told me. Her metal voice was as alluring as her actual voice and I wanted her all over again. Jake, please?

I'm so sorry, baby. I'm so, so sorry. I didn't mean to act that way. Please, forgive me? I begged.

You don't have to apologise, Jake. I knew you'd react that way to me. Just stop running at me. She asked but I ignored her as I broke through some trees to see a white form lying down with her paws over head as if to block everything out. I sprang up to her, nuzzling her head with mine, consolingly.

Mel-Mel. Baby, please look at me. I pleaded. She whined but otherwise didn't comment. Baby, don't be sad.

How can you say that Jake? I don't want to be what you want me to be. I can't be. She cried, mentally. I shushed her, licking her ear.

I don't want you to be anything, baby. Just you. Don't be anything you don't wanna be. Just be yourself. I encouraged. She whined again. Baby, phase back, please?

No.

Mel-Mel. Please, for me? I asked, pleadingly.

Just go away, Jake. Leave me alone. She demanded but she couldn't order me to do anything. I wasn't leaving her like this.

I'm not going anywhere, baby. I'm here. Talk to me. I said, laying my head on her paws. I'm here for you.

I'm scared, Jake. She confided. I listened. I don't know what this means for me.

It doesn't have to mean anything, baby. It can be what you want it to be.

I don't want to be treated like a queen, Jake. I don't want that.

Then you won't be. Just come home? Come home with me? Please, Mel-Mel. Baby, please? If you love me, you will. I pleaded, desperate. She whined, lifting her head. That's it, baby. Come on.

I licked the side of her muzzle and nuzzled mine against hers, lovingly. She whined again, leaning into me as I brushed the whole side of my body up against her. I circled around her, brushing my muzzle to every inch of her. Her fur was so soft and she smelt fantastic. As soon as I reached her womanhood, she jumped, leaping away from me involuntary, like any female responded to a male. It made me growl.

Mel-Mel. Phase, please? I begged, watching her tail swish back and forth in arousal. I've never seen a female werewolf in her form while aroused. It was more alluring than I ever would have thought.

I phased back, not caring about my nudity and I simply watched her, in her form, captivated by her fur again. She whined.

"Baby, phase back." I said, softly. She whined once more before her form changed in front of me. I smiled back at the human Mel-Mel, relieved that she'd finally do something I asked. Her face broke my heart and tears appeared in her eyes. "Don't cry, baby. Don't cry."

She did anyway and they overflowed her eyes. I rushed over to her, embracing her comfortingly. I guided her to the floor, where I held her on my lap, rocking her back and forth.

"Why me, Jake?" she asked through her sobs.

"I dunno, baby. I dunno."

"I don't even know why I'm like this. I just feel drained." she wept. I simply held her, not commenting only listening. "I never asked for this, Jake."

"None of us did, Mel-Mel. It just happened. We can't control it." I comforted her. She sniffled. "I won't let anything happen that you don't want, okay? Trust me."

"I do trust you Jake. I...I...I love you." she stuttered. My heart inflated ten times its size. She's never said that before and hearing it now, it made me swim in ecstasy. I pulled back from her to look her in the eyes and she smiled, timidly. I smiled back, lovingly.

"I love you, too. So much. You have no idea, baby." I crooned, still rocking her. She smiled and kissed me on the chest, trailing up to my neck and eventually my lips. I kissed her back, passionately as she shifted to saddle my hips. We were both naked and I only had to push upwards and I'd be enclosed myself in her whole form.

I kissed down her chest, over her breast and back up, resting on the sensitive spot behind her ear. She moaned, lightly. Her moans sent shock waves through me so strong that I growled. She clutched herself closer to me and I laid her on the hard, leafy floor, hovering between her legs.

"Take me Jake, make love to me." she begged and she didn't have to beg twice. I pushed forwards, groaning as she took me into her warm, tight walls. The feeling so powerful I nearly passed out. She giggled, placing her hands either side of my face. "Stay with me, tough guy."

I opened my eyes,breathing deeply as they locked to hers, thrusting in and out, seeing her face distort in pleasure that only I would ever give her, as long as she allowed me. I smiled as a moan escaped her mouth, involuntary and I had to clear my throat to make her look back at me. I smiled, grunting with my movements as they became faster and faster, harder as I dove deeper into her warm core, feeling the pure bliss she sent through me. My face buried in her neck as I inhaled deeply, loving it as her delicious scent sent my mind hazy. We moved as one, clutching tightly to each other with our hands intertwined over our heads, breathing raggedly while feeling each other's heartbeats against our chests because we were that close. She took my whole weight, not seeming fazed by it. I smiled, kissing her all over her face as the coil in my stomach tightened and tightened. I was so close and judging by her loud moans, so was she.

"JACOB!" she screamed as her orgasms took her over, making her writhe beneath me from the force of it. I kept thrusting at the same pace, riding it out and triggering mine in the next second, shouting out to her repeatedly as my fingers squeezed hers.

We moved as one for so long that we began to sweat, heavily. Our breathing wasn't breathing anymore, it was gasping, our lungs raw from shouting each other's names over and over with every orgasm that hit us. I had no idea how long we've been out here but it was obvious that Mel-Mel was close to passing out. She was exhausted. I pulled out, slowly, making us both moan at the sensation before she moaned in protest.

"Let me get you home, baby. You need to sleep." I whispered into her ear.

She nodded, closing her eyes as I scooped her up in my arms. I kissed her forehead, running the way we came. Along the way, I found her clothes and I redressed her. I found my shorts and pulled them on, before running the rest of the way with no interruptions. She had fallen asleep, content in my arms as it should be. I never wanted this, us to end but I wanted her safe in her bed at home. Running back, I sensed my brothers in their humans forms, ordered not to be in their wolf forms and they all stood in the clearing we'd left, totally worried and they ran to me when I appeared from the trees.

"How is she?" Leah screamed. She stirred in my arms.

"Shh, Leah. She's sleeping."

"What happened?" Sam asked, anxiously. He was peering at her like a loyal servant or something.

"It doesn't matter. I need to get her home. She's exhausted." I told them, walking past them.

"No, Jake. There's something you need to know." Seth called after me. I stopped waiting.

"What, Seth?" I asked, frustrated.

"It's Summer."

"What about Summer?" I asked, fearful and damn right terrified.

"She's missing." Sam informed me and I heard a fierce growl from my arms and they were suddenly blank. I peered around fast enough to see Mel speeding off into the woods towards her home. I growled, looking at the others with annoyance and irritation as I sped off after her again.

"Mel!" I shouted. I sensed the others chasing after us. "Mel, baby, wait!"

Dun, dun, dun! Oooooh

What's going to happen?

Review, people! I love 'em, you know I do so please be kind and send me your thoughts :D :D :D

love,
MrsWolfPack
