Chapter Fourteen – The Beginning of Another Truly Tragic Tale

Gwilla POV

Mica was grumbling beside me, still upset after her breakup with Marvin only two hours ago.

"I mean, how the hell should I know that today was our freaking two and three month anniversary? Who even fucking cares? Wow, I can't even believe I dated him he's such a crybaby slash loser!" She stomped as she walked, her hands fists at her side.

She wasn't sad upset, more like angry upset at Marvin's reaction. She'd explained in great detail to me that he pleaded for her to come back, and then when she informed him she was in love with someone else, he was furious and started ranting about how it was an anniversary of theirs or something and he couldn't believe she'd do that.

"I know, honey. I'm sorry." I said slowly, squeezing her hand briefly before letting it drop again. She looked sad as she walked along slowly, a breeze blowing her hair back.

"Yeah, I know. I just hate that guy. But, I have my Jaja, so all is well!" she giggled, throwing her hands up in the air with a smile.

"Yup, honey, all is definitely well." I sighed, wincing as I imagined her and Jaja kissing. It's that I'm not happy for the both of them, I was, but it still creeps me out that she loves my freaking brother. I mean, ew.

"Gwilla!" Seth yelled as a grin sprang across his face. We were both by the fire now, and people were gathering around it, talking and laughing.

I counted at least nine humongous guys, and three girls, plus a baby girl toddling around with one of the guys chasing her.

"Qwuiw! Qwuiw!" she screamed, clapping her hands as she ran with a laugh. I smiled at her, shaking my head. I recognized Seth's sister, Leah, looking out at the lake, sullen. Her back was turned to everyone, and as Mica and I stepped nearer, she twitched.

Seth picked me up, spinning me around before pecking my head, hugging me tight. "Hi Seth," I giggled, holding his hand. We walked to a log, and all sat down. "How are you doing, babe?" he whispered, running another hand through my hair. "Make up with your friend?" he added in a lower voice.

"It's fine. We're alright now." I smiled at him, winding my other arm through Mica's who smiled back at me encouragingly.

"That's good."

"Hey Leah, come here, Billy is going to tell an imprint story!" Sue stood, calling out to her daughter fondly. Apparently, that was not a good thing to say, because Leah stiffened, balling her hands into fists, before turning and walking towards us with her head down.

She plopped down across from us, and I could swear I heard her mumble, "Fuck imprinting," under her breath. Next to me, Mica was looking at her incredibly confused, which I couldn't blame her for, because she didn't know any of the stuff was real.

Leah looked around tentatively, her eyes penetrating everyone… even if they didn't even notice her. As she got to me, I blushed, looking down. Seth had told me what had happened to his sister, and I felt terrible, but also understood why she hated that I was his brother's imprint. She didn't want him 'condemned' to a fate of being forced into love, whatever that meant.

And then, she moved on to Mica, and her jaw dropped as Mica met her gaze. She stared at Mica as if she was perfect, the most special person in the world. A smile broke across her face like she was seeing a shooting star in a black sky.

Her slack-jawed look made Mica squirm, turning away from her with a frown. I felt myself gasp, along with Seth, Sue, and Emily, the other two who had noticed. For a moment, I was utterly confused… what had happened?

And then, it clicked. Leah had imprinted.

On my best friend.

Who was totally in love with my brother.

And worse? My brother was totally in love with her.

I inhaled quickly, like someone slapped me in the face, and then grabbed Seth's arm with a hiss. "Seth, what the hell just happened?" I demanded angrily. This question seemed to snap Leah out of her phase, because she shook her head, her eyes blurring over in puzzlement for a moment, before she gasped loudly, snarled, and stood up, running so fast to the forest she was almost a blur.

"What. In hell. Just happened?" Mica asked me, her eyes narrowing. Tight lipped, I crossed my arms, completely stumped.

"Umm" I murmured, not even sure myself. I thought Seth had said you imprinted for genetic reasons, but if Leah, a girl, imprinted on Mica, also a girl, then what did that conclude? Emily and Sue were staring at each other, wide eyed, and by now everybody else had figured out something was wrong.

"What happened?" The Pack Alpha, Sam, demanded finally with an air of… superiority? In his voice. Seth, the only pack member who'd seen, immediately stood.

"Leah imprinted." He said, dropping back to my side afterwards. By me, Mica was looking even more confused.

"Wait, wait, wait! What in hell are you talking about? None of that wolf crap exists… does it?" she sounded uncertain as she spoke. At our faces, her eyes widened, a grin stretched across her face, and she slapped her knee.

"Damn straight! Shit, this is awesome! Ya'll are all wolves then? Fuck, this is sweet!" she giggled, bouncing in her seat. Then, a couple wolves gasped as loudly as Leah had.

"Oh, was it..? Did Lee imprint on Mica?" Sam finally asked, faintly. At this, Mica stopped bouncing, glaring at everybody. There was a moment of silence as everyone processed this, then, a couple pack members laughed, and Mica stared at them in disbelief.

"Holy, Leah is a lesbian!" Embry howled, tears forming in his eyes as he laughed. Mica stood, ramrod straight, giving everyone a frosty grimace.

"I am in love with my boyfriend. Not about to change." She said stiffly before stalking off.

"Leah just leads a screwed life, doesn't she?" Everyone turned to find it was Kim who spoke, her head balanced on her arms. She looked around, then blushed. "Oh no, I said that out loud?"

Hey all! Okay, I know this was short, but I've decided this story will be featuring TWO stories. One is Gwilla/Seth, the other Mica/Leah. Each will have a total of twenty chapters, plus an epilogue. There have been thirteen for Gwilla/Seth so far, and this is beginning of Mica/Leah's. Now, I want everyone to remember something... LEAH ISN'T A LESBIAN OR BI-SEXUAL. That is important to know!

Thanks to the very few who left reviews... wish there could be more...

And of course, thanks to my wonderful beta, Swimming cutie xoxo! She made this a whole damn lot better, and got it back quick! Thanks hun!!

As always, TwilightHeart21
