chapter fifthteen
we walked to the bonfire where a dozen or so people were sitting down .'' Finally imprinted huh? who is the lucky girl .'' I came out from behind jacob . '' I am jealous .'' Quil who the last time i had seen him had flirted up a storm with me .'' good .'' Jacob draped his arm around me and pulled me close to his side .
'' everyone gather around .'' I hadn't noticed but Billy was there .
''let me tell you the legend of our wolf.'' Billy said looking around the circle meeting everyones eyes
.'' T he legend goes that one spirit warrior ,Utlapa ,wanted to use his power to enslave neighboring tribes ,the Hohs and the Makahs ,Unwilling to use the warriors 'powers for such monstrous purposes ,his cheif ,Taha Aki banished him from the tribe . One day,the cheif left his body in a hiding place to sweep through the valley in spirit form,searching the area for anything that may pose a threat to the tribe,Utlapa followed him and possessed his body ,then cut his own bodys throat to prevent Taha Aki's return .the chief wandered for a while in spirit form ,watching the thief do horrible things to his people .One day ,the chief's spirit found a large beautiful wolf in the jealous of the wolfs physical form ,an idea came to him .He asked the wolf to share his body with him ,and the wolf agreed .Rushing back to the village as the wolf,he met a party of warriors ,and tried to make himself known by yelping quileute songs .one of the warriors and elderly man names Yut ,realized that the wolf was under a spirits control ,and disobeying the usurper Utlapa's orders not to enter the spirit world ,left his body to talk to the beast .The false chief ,alarmed at Yut entering the spirit world as he feared that his treachery would be revealed , killed the warrior . Taha Aki became enraged ,and lunged to kill the man ,his emotions were too much for the wolf and it transformed into a magnificent human ,the glorious flesh interpretation of Taha Aki's flawless spirit .The false chief was killed,things were rapidly set right . Taha Aki sired many children ,and found out that his sons at the age of manhood ,could transform into wolves as well. sons at the age of manhood,could transform into wolves as well . that is how the shifters came to be .the whole pack is made of the descendants of the original wolf ,thus far leah clearwater is the only known female ever to phase.''
Billy finished the story .'' what causes the phasing .'' I asked billy .
'' The instinct to phase is is triggered when a tribal member crosses the scent of a vampires and senses the tribe's need of protection .'' Jacob answered for Billy .
'' What about imprinting ?'' a petite girl who sat by one of the boys asked meekly . pushing her hair behind her ear .
'' imprinting is caused so that a wolf can reproduce and create the strongest off breed with their soul mate .their true other half.'' Billy smiled at the girl .
After a few more questions a boy stood up and put out the fire .'' Let's go eat .'' Everyone except the girl Leah started walking to a house not too far away .I do not know why but I felt the need to go over to her she was upset I could tell that and she was angry ,looking at her I saw this black kind of cloud surrounding her .'' Hi .'' I walked over to her and sat on the log beside her .
''what ?'' she looked sideways at me .'' you were with Sam and he imprinted with another girl .'' I stated .'' Oh my god !" I jumped up covering my mouth .''you did not say that aloud did you ?'' I looked down at her hopeful .'' no .'' she shook her head as she looked at me in shock .
I looked over at Jacob .''come on .'' He grabbed my hand and lead me to the house that everyone had gone to .'' Dad ,'' He pulled me over to Billy ,'' Something is wrong with Rose .'' he told him .
'' no there is not .'' he looked between us with a knowing smile which I noticed that the other elders of the tribe that were there had on their faces to. '' She is a gifted one , a imprintee that takes on the gifts of her wolf .'' he looked at me his eyes warm and full of wonder .'' what do you mean the gifts of her wolf.'' jacob clutched my hand tighter .
'' As the wolf can read minds of their pack mates she can read minds as well only she can read the minds of every kind of creature .Same goes for her feeling what others feel just as the wolf can feel their pack mates emotions she can feel every creatures.'' Billy smiled at me .'' But to her wolf she has the strongest bond yet there is a shield where you can only not read the mind of your true mate .''
wow I took in every word now was I not only a dhampire who was bound to a Moroi but now I was bound to a wolf and am now able to read minds and feel what others are feeling . What a day .
'' Why me ?'' I asked a little frustrated .sure yeah I had wished for that I could
read minds before but who did not as Edward told me it was tortures .'' You are the Alpha's imprint the strongest of the Alphas yet .'' Billy looked at Jacob with admitation he was happy that his son was alpha and just wished he would take his place in the order of everything . '' No ,I dont want to be Alpha sam is the alpha.'' I looked over to sam .He was the biggest and oldest of the wolfs the first to phase so he became alpha and would remain alpha until Jacob took his spot as the true alpha and he had no problem with stepping down . I commended him for that not many would be that graceful in that kind of situation .
I think you should .
I did not mean to but i projected my thoughts to him like lisa did to me ,but i knew he could not read my mind nor could i read his we could just communicate when we choose to .In some way I liked it but I still felt like there were just more and more things getting added to the list of things that were happening to me .
why ? I do not want to be the alpha of a pack I am not ready ,
Jacob met my eyes he felt defeated .
yes you are , I think you are and so does everyone else you heard what your dad said ,you are the strongest alpha yet .
I gave him a smile and squeezed his hand affectionately.
''Fine .'' Jacob stood a little taller. the guys clapped and howled I laughed ,when Mason and my other friends had left I felt like a part of me was missing like i was not complete that is how I have always felt in my life but now with the pack and Jacob I felt complete like there was nothing missing from my life anymore .
''Now that we are done with that , I am Emily .'' Emily introduced herself she was beautiful beside the deep scars she had running down her face that were from sam phasing into a wolf to close to her . I did not pay too much attention to them being around so many guardians at the academy it was rare if you saw one without some kind of wicked scar .I had a few of my own none on my face but it did not matter I did not judge her for her scars .'' I am the wolf mom these are all my boys .They eat me out of a house and a home .'' she smiled and gestured to all the food that was on the table .she thought of all the food just one of them ate .Like dhampires they ate a lot but they made me look like I did not eat at all .
'' yeah this is Emily,Sam , jared ,Seth ,Paul ,Collin and as you know Quil and Embry .'' I greeted all of them
As we all hung out I noticed that Paul was a jackass and a hot head which I found all the wolves were but some wolves like seth and Jacob were laid back mellow wolves as well as Quil and Embry . while jared was a pure smart ass . But all in all they were all cool and i felt connected to each and everyone of them .
' I have to go .'' I said around ten .''okay I will give you a ride .'' he walked me outside and we started walking me thinking that he meant a ride in his car was wrong because when we got to his garage he started stripping .
when he was down to his boxers he phased .
get on
Jacob was a huge wolf as big as a horse but more muscular but was the most beautiful creature I had ever seen in my life . come on
he laid down so I did not have to work all hard to get on him .The ride was wonderful twenty thousand times better than riding on Edwards back . can lissa see you ?
I hopped off his back .'' LIsa !'' I yelled her name but she did not respond .'' I will be right back .'' I ran into the house looking around nobody was their Alice or Edward but I decided to check around the house just to be sure .I ran outside checking out all the rooms thats when I smelt it .blood a lot of blood .
I rushed into the bathroom where it was coming from .'' LIssa!'' she was unconscious with her wrist bleeding . she still had a pulse but she was weak and she had lost so much blood already .
jacob go find Edward or Alice ! I ripped of my shirt and tore it so i could wrap them around her wrist to stop the bleeding
whats wrong ?
I could feel he was running as fast as he could .
lissa cut her wrist .
okay what do you think ? there is a lot going on with this chapter , so remember to read and review it is just getting good .
