Chapter 11: Aftermath

Chris's POV

During my fight with that asshole of a bloodsucker he managed to strike me really hard on the back of my head. I almost immediately blacked out and woke up in my bed just a few moments ago. Four fucking hours after he hit me. He was bleeding furiously when I passed out so I hope he is dead now. How dare he steal my girl? And how could Alice let him touch her? I will make her see what kind of freak he is and I will have her in time. I'm sure there will be a lot of yelling when my father and the members of the council get here. And here they come. Not just the council. The entire pack is here. Sam came to me first and punched me REALLY hard. I think he broke my nose.

"What the HELL man?" I asked reaching for some paper for my bleeding nose.

"What the hell? You tried kill our alpha, who is also your fucking uncle!!!!" He yelled.

"Since when is HE our alpha? Was I successful?" I asked snickering. That earned me another punch. This time it was from Quil.

"If you were successful you wouldn't be alive." He simply said.

"Yeah? And who would kill me?" I asked scoffing. My nose had healed completely.

"You really wanna know?" My dad asked and I nodded. "First of all, Alice. Then his family, Richard and Jenny and probably Olivia."

"Why would the Brandons kill me, dad? I did them a favor by showing them who he really is."

"Alice is his imprint. She loves him more than anyone else in this world. No matter how many years would pass, she would never forgive you. Richard and Jenny would support her and Olivia loves him as her brother. You saw that at the bonfire. That's why they would kill you. And the only favor you can do to them right now is to kill yourself. They hate you." My dad said.

"Alice could never hate me. He has just brainwashed her." I said through gritted teeth.

"Well she does. Get used to it." Embry said glaring at me.

"Why are you all taking his side?"

"Because he is right." Paul said.

"Even you? You are pissed at everyone all the time and you are taking his side?"

"He is your fucking family and you tried to kill him. Do you have any idea what I would give to have my parents or even my centuries older anchestor? You don't appreciate anything." He said and stormed out of the room.

"He is not my family." I said glaring at everyone.

"Paul is right. You don't appreciate a thing." Some said and followed his example. Then Leah came to me.

"Hurt my best friend like that again and I will help in killing you, asshole." She said and left.

"Make sure you stay away from the Brandons. That's an order." Sam ordered and left. I scoffed and sat back.

"Dad will you help me see her?" I asked hopeful.

"You will do as Sam says. Blake made it pretty clear: if you ever try to hurt him he will kill you. And to tell you the truth I can't blame him." My dad said looking down and wheeled himself out. I sat there trying to figure out what I'm going to do.

Alice's POV

I woke up the next day and Blake was nowhere to be seen. I instantly panicked and went downstairs in a frenzy. I ran to every room before finally getting to the kitchen, where my dad and Jenny were, but not Blake.

"Where is he?" I demanded.

"Relax, Alice. He is just outside flexing his muscles." My dad reassured me.

"But he hasn't healed yet." I said sitting down.

"Actually, he has. It's four in the afternoon Ali." Jenny said and place two plates on the table full of food.

"Four in the afternoon? We slept for a little under a day?" I asked in disbelief.

"We did." Blake said entering in nothing but a pair of shorts and shoes.

"You phased?" I asked as he kissed me.

"I wanted to see how I would look now with the scars. Thankfully it doesn't show that much." he asnwered.

"If you didn't know you wouldn't notice." Jenny comfirmed and dad nodded.

"I know I'm repeating myself, but I'm so glad you are okay, teddy bear." I said, got up and hugged him. He sat down with me in his lap.

"I think we all are, Ali. But now you have to eat something." He said and my stomach growled at the mention of food.

"Well, I'm going to pick up the little monster." My dad said kissing Jenny. "Do you need antyhing?" He asked looking at Blake and me.

"No dad, thank you." I said with my mouth full. He exited the house chuckling. "Blake, can we go to the reservation?" That made him and Jenny choke on the water they was drinking.

"Ali, don't you think that's a bad idea? Especially just a day after their fight?" Jenny asked.

"Mom, all I want is to see my real best childhood friend." I said as Blake fed me another bite.

"Your real best childhood friend?" She asked me.

"Yeah. Leah would never do what Chris did." I stated.

"Alice, there are only two people in this world that you can't fool. And I happen to be one of those two." Blake said looking at me with his eye-brows raised. Stupid mindreader. What was wrong about yelling at Chris? "You know you love me." He said smiling.

"That doesn't change the fact that sometimes I hate you can read my mind." I said sticking my tongue out at him.

"If you really want to go and yell at him, I can't stop you. I won't even try. But you have to know that I'm not leaving you alone again. I won't make that mistake again." He said in determination.

"Blake, I don't think she has any problem with your being there." Jenny said snickering.

"Are you sure you are only 32 years old?" I asked.

"Yeah, why?"

"Well you don't act like it. You are way too fun."

"Alice, if you expect a different, more serious behaviour from Jenny, how should I act then?" He had a point.

"Okay, I get it. Now can we go?" I asked getting up.

"Eat that first and then you can go." Jenny pointed to my plate. I groaned, but sat down and ate my food.

"I'm done!" I exclaimed when I swallowed the last piece. Jenny laughed and shooed us out of the door.

"So what's it going to be? Car or wolf?" Blake asked.

"Can you carry me with these wounds? Won't it hurt?" I asked grazing the four stripes on his back with my fingers.

"They are not wounds anymore Alice. Just scars. Let's walk in the forest so I can change."

I nodded and he guided me deep in the forest. When he was sure that there was no one around, he stripped and I couldn't help but admire his gorious body. He chuckled before handing me his clothes and phasing. He lowered himself again, so I could hop on, and when I did we were off. As he was running towards La Push, I stared at his back. Jenny was right. If one didn't know about his injury, he would never have noticed. The scars were completely covered by the hair around them.

We reached our destination a few minuted later, but stayed in the woods so he could change back. When he did I wrapped my arms around his waist and we passed the first tree line stepping in La Push. Many gasped when they saw us, mostly the humans. The werewolves around bowed their heads to us. When Blake saw them he bent to whisper in my ear:

"That's one of the reasons I never told anyone about me." I nodded in understanding. When we passed Billy's house Sam approached us.

"Hello Blake, Alice." He greeted.

"Hello to you too, Sam." We both said.

"Are you here to see Chris?" He asked in fear.

"No, we are actually here to see Leah." I said snuggling closer to Blake.

"Leah? How come?" He asked out of pure curiosity.

"She used to be my best friend when I lived here and I was wondering if that still stands. Blake just didn't want to leave me alone again." I said smiling.

"I wouldn't either if I were in your shoes, Blake."

"Yeah, well tell HER that." He said. Sam chuckled.

"Leah must be in her house sleeping." he then said.

"Sleeping? At five in the afternoon?" I asked in confusion.

"She finished patrol just a few hours ago. But I'm sure she would like to see you. When she heard that you attended the bonfire and she was on patrol, she was....um.... let's just say that we are lucky to heal fast." He said rubbing the back of his head.

"Leah is a werewolf?" I asked in disbelief.

"Yes she is. In fact she was one of the two to carry Chris back here."

"Thank you Sam. We will go see her now." I said and dragged Blake to the Clearwaters' house. A few 15-18-year-old boys were just outside laughing their asses off. When they saw us though, they bowed their heads. Great. More werewolves. One of them stood and approached us.

"Alice!!! It's been a long time."

"SETH??? You are a werewolf too?" I asked and went to hug him.

"Yeah. I'm sorry for what happened yesterday." He said looking down.

"That's in the past. Let me introduce you to Blake. Baby, this is Seth, Leah's little brother. And Seth this is Blake Carter, my wolf boy." I said smiling.

"Nice to meet you, Seth." Blake greeted.

"Nice to meet you too wolf boy." Seth said chuckling. "Are you here for Leah?" He asked and I nodded. "Do you want me to go wake her up?"

"No, thanks. I'll go. Can I go by myself or am I in danger, Blake?" I asked smiling innocently.

"Very funny, Ali. Go." He ansered grinning.

I kissed him quickly and ran upstairs. It was easy to find Leah's room because of her loud snoring. I entered the room and saw completely sprawled on the bed, which made me giggle. I went by her bed and knealed in front of her face. Since she was a werewolf, she had enhanced hearing so I found a perfect way to wake her up AND have fun.

"LEAH!!!!!!!!" I screamed in her ear. She shot up immediately. I could hear from downstairs the chuckles of my baby and Seth.

"Who the fuck.....?" She screamed but when she turned around and saw me stopped. "Alice?"

"Who else did you expect? The big bad wolf?" I asked giggling. She literally tackled me to the ground.

"You have no idea how much I have missed you." She said hugging me tightly.

"I have missed you too, Leah." I said and also hugged her tight.

"I'm so sorry for what that fucker did. Is he okay? He didn't seem well yesterday." She said once we pulled apart.

"He has healed perfectly, but he will have four scars. At least he is alive. Actually he is now downstairs with your brother."

"Are you not bothered by what we are?" She asked looking down.

"No, I'm not. I don't know if it's the imprint or just that I'm understanding, but I don't really care what he or anybody else is. All that matter to me is that I love you all."

"Will you forgive him?" She asked and I knew pretty well who she meant.

"Never." I whispered. "But forget about that scumbag. Get up and let's go downstairs so you meet Blake." I said pulling her up.

"He is making you really happy, doesn't he?"

"He does. He is my everything Leah. And I know him less that a week."

"That's how imprinting is, Ali." She said smiling.

"Have you?" I asked.

"What? Imprinted? Yeah. He is a great guy. I'll introduce him to you later, but for now let's meet my alpha."
