Preview: Never Again
Edited: December 15, 2012

Nothing is worse than a broken heart that repeatedly moans and begs for its lost lover to come back, for him to take her into his arms and kiss her senseless. Nothing is more horrific than watching him parade around with his new lover, showing her off proudly, caressing her face like he used to touch hers, loving her more than he ever loved her. Nothing destroys a person more than a broken heart that can't be fixed. Leah was ruined, and she was just waiting for the moment her soul finally withered into nothing, leaving behind the shell of a person she used to be. No longer would she cherish that sensation that filled her body with mirth and wonder, curiosity and confusion, because she was cursed with admiring him from afar. Sam Uley was never going to be hers.

Shaking her head, she stifled her cries with her hands and slumped her shoulders. Leah allowed her body to slide down the trunk of a tree before sighing and resting her chin on top of her bent knees. Love was a complicated sensation indeed, especially when it refused to leave her body and settle for nothing. She would always be alone, cursed to watch him, cursed to be a shape shifter, cursed to love him and receive nothing but looks of pity from him and daggers from her pack.

"I don't belong," she whispered to herself, and she shuddered violently when the truth suddenly dawned on her. She was an outcast, thrown aside for her cousin, hurtled in the other direction but her pack, and hidden by her family, who merely smiled out of embarrassment whenever she clutched her chest longingly. They didn't understand her nor would they ever. She needed an escape; she needed love and want in her life once more. Leah wanted a man to look at her tenderly, hold her as if she was made of porcelain, protect her against all odds, love her unconditionally, and promise her he would never leave her.

"I need love," she muttered bitterly, biting her inner cheek to stop herself from crying tears of angst. No one would ever love her.

"I can give you love, sweet Leah."

Abruptly, she jolted upwards and crouched when she heard a deep alluring voice respond to her demand. Her muscles stiffened further when she heard his breaths coming from behind her, teasing her sensitive skin and driving her crazy with want. He touched her shoulders, and she was faintly surprised when she felt comforted by his presence. She wanted to turn around, but she was afraid that if she did, he would no longer exist.

"I am real, Leah. I can assure you I am."

His hands gripped her waist before gradually turning her around. A gasp escaped her lips as she peeked at him from behind her eyelashes. He smirked when she quivered in his hands and gnawed on her bottom lip. A bond quickly tied itself to them, and for that moment, Leah allowed herself to forget that she was cursed. In that moment, all she knew was that she was never again going to mourn the loss of her lover. Leah Clearwater was going to love and be loved once more.
