THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE REVIEWS :)

SAM

"Sam, she doesn't want to see you"

"Seth, please, I need to talk to her, I need to explain everything to her"

"I can explain it to her Sam" he walked out of his house, closing the door behind him. "Look, Leah is going through a lot right now, she feels betrayed by everyone she trusted, she's not even talking to my dad and she sure as hell doesn't even want to hear about you"

He placed a hand on my shoulder "I know you love her Sam, I really do, but you know better than anyone that she is hard headed, she isn't going to forgive you so easily, just give her some time"

"I wish I could Seth, but you don't understand how hard it is for me to be away from her, I love her so much, being away from her is like missing a part of my soul. I know this whole transition is hard, we have all experienced it but we had each other to rely on, she won't let any of us help her, and I want to help her"

"She has me, Sam. I know that I am fairly new at this wolf thing too, but I will take care of her."

I nodded "Tell her that I am not giving up on her. YOU HEARD THAT LEAH I AM NOT GIVING UP!"

Seth laughed "Bye Sam"

"Bye Seth"

I walked down the porch steps and stared at Leah's window, she was looking straight at me, her expression between a glare and a smile; I couldn't stop looking at her, my heart constricted as I saw the lone tear escape her eye and trail down her cheek.

But with one final glance at my direction, she turned and she was gone from my view. Seth had come to the window and shot me a pitying look before he closed her shades, blocking any view I could have had of my princess.

I sighed and started walking back to my house, I was officially moving out of my mom's house today, with the pack growing bigger by the day, the Elders thought it would be wise if I had my own place.

So today the boys minus Seth were going to help me get my place situated, it wasn't far from central La Push, but it was far enough that I wouldn't have to worry about noisy neighbors.

When I reached my place, Jared, Paul, Embry, Quil, and Jacob were already there. Kim was also there, she seemed to be ordering the boys around.

"Quil, pick up that box and bring it inside!" she was shouting.

"Bout time you showed up Kim was abusing her power!" Embry taunted as Kim scowled at him.

I laughed and helped the boys bring boxes in while Kim tried her best to decorate, it was time like these that I missed Leah the most, I liked Kim, she was a pretty cool girl once she got over being shy, but this was something I wanted to share with Leah.

When the Elders told me they were getting me my own place, I had a hundred and one different scenarios going through my head, Leah moving in with me, calling this place our home, and maybe one day having little rugrats running around this house.

But ever since she phased a week ago, I haven't been able to talk to her, Seth had become my mediator, because he was the only one she was actually talking too.

Jacob had tried to visit her countless of times, especially now that Bella had gone back to her bloodsucker, but Leah had dead on refused to see him.

After that none of the guys even tried to make contact, Kim on the other hand saw and spoke to Leah one day at the beach, she said that Leah had practically drilled her about imprinting.

"Hey Sam, are these yours?" Paul asked me as he showed me the white lace panties he held in between his fingers.

"Where the fuck did you get those?" I hissed as he continued to play with Leah's panties.

"They were in the box, damn Sam I never thought you were the guy to keep memorabilia"

"Give those back, Paul before I break your face" I threatened, I noticed from the corner of my eye that Jared has hovered in front of Kim in order to protect her.

"Damn Sam you are a lucky man, Leah's always been hot, but my god last night, let's just say I envy you she must look pretty hot in these, I know you won't blame me if I sneak a peek"

That was it, my whole frame was shaking as I grabbed Paul's throat and shoved him to the wall.

"Don't you dare even think about Leah in that way, do you understand? And if I ever see you in dare a glimpse at her, I will rip your eyeballs out and eat them for lunch, you heard me?!"

"Sam, let him go!" Jacob shouted.

I turned to look at all of them "And that goes for the rest of you, too, you will all respect Leah"

"Sam, he's turning purple!"

I let go of Paul and he slumped to the floor gasping for air. "You are fucking crazy man" he breathed.

I laughed as I pulled my arm back and pushed him straight in the face, he doubled over in pain.

I kneeled down in front of him "When it comes to Leah, hell yeah I am fucking crazy. Makes you think twice about talking about her that way doesn't it?"

He nodded. "Good"

I turned to Kim, who was looking at me like a deer in headlights "I'm sorry you had to see that, Kim."

She shook her head "It's okay" she whispered.

We spent the rest of the day, organizing the house, Paul apologized for what he said and I had forgiven him but warned him that my threat still existed. I wasn't going to have any of these boys take advantage of Leah's situation, but I must admit that my actions were more because of jealousy than anything else, I didn't want any other man dreaming about Leah in that way, she was mine, even if she didn't want to accept that yet.

LEAH (EARLIER THAT DAY, WHEN SAM SHOUTS THAT HE IS NOT GIVING UP)

I continuously told myself that I didn't care anymore, that Sam could come and beg for forgiveness everyday of his damn life, and I still wouldn't care, but I was wrong, I cared, I cared more than I even wanted to admit.

Seeing and hearing him come over everyday die, Seth refusing to let him in, opens a wound in my heart that I want to heal up as soon as possible, of course thus healing would be impossible unless I let Sam back in, and I wasn't quite ready for that yet.

I phased a week ago and besides running patrol with Seth, I have not left my room nor talked to one, beside Seth and Kim who I bumped into after a long patrol.

I was still pretty sketchy about imprinting, and I won't lie and say that it is not a big factor on keeping Sam way, the idea of him being destined to another woman, and losing him made me nauseous.

My dad had given up on talking to me, the first couple of days he had banged on my door and begged me to let him in, but I still held a great resentment towards him, if it wasn't for his stupid command, Sam would have told me ages ago about the pack. It would have prevented all those months I spent crying because I thought he was up to no good, my dad had practically initiated the whole twisted turn of events, and for that I couldn't exactly pretend that I wasn't pissed.

I walked to my window and watched Sam as he looked straight at me; I was angry but happy to see him, to see that he still cared.

"I still think your being stupid" Seth said as he walked into my room.

I turned around and walked towards him, "I know, I am being stupid, but it's for the best"

"How so?"

I sighed "He's going to imprint someday, might as well start pulling away now"

"Lee, imprinting is super rare, Sam might not ever imprint"

I shrugged "Better safe than sorry"

"You are going to regret what you are doing, Lee"

"I know"

Seth came and sat down next to me "Mom, told me that you are going to see Bella today"

I nodded "Are you sure that is a smart thing to do, Lee."

"Bella and I have a lot to talk about; she's been keeping a lot of stuff from me"

"Just be careful, Leah. You are not a human anymore, you are their enemy now"

"They won't hurt me"

"You don't know that"

"Edward saved my damn life, Seth!"

"You weren't a wolf yet"

"That doesn't change the fact that he did, I owe him that much Seth, and I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him"

"Look Lee, I am not going to force you to do anything. I am just warning you now, the Cullens aren't safe."

"I don't need you to worry about me Seth; I can take care of myself"

"It's okay to ask for help, Leah."

"I don't need it"

He sighed "Be careful, if you come back hurt, there will be no one to stop Sam from doing something stupid"

I smiled "Thanks Seth, for everything"

"No prob, sis"

Once Seth left, I rushed to get ready, I needed to see Bella, I was mad at her at first, but after a lot of self loathing I realized that I needed someone who wasn't my brother to talk too, and Bella had always been there for me in the past, when she heard that I had almost died in a potential car accident she called like crazy, I had neglected her calls at first but then after the twentieth message on my phone, I decided to go and pay her a visit.

I was ready and out the door after ten minutes, I ran to the trees and stripped, I crouched down and let the heat rush through my veins as I exploded out of my skin.

None of the guys were phased thank God, I loved running wolf, and I always felt so free. Seth had boosted my ego by telling me that I was probably the fastest wolf, but because I wasn't talking to my pack mates, I couldn't prove that theory.

I phased back when I reached the woods behind Bella's house, I could smell Edward inside because his sweet scent was burning my nose.

I trotted to the house and knocked a couple of times before Bella opened the door, she shrieked as she wrapped her arms around me.

"Oh thank god you are okay" she pulled back and grabbed my shoulder "Why the hell have you been avoiding my calls?!"

"A lot of things have been going on, sorry"

"You are forgiven, come in"

She grabbed my hand led me to a couch in her living room, Edward came out of the kitchen, my face scrunched up in disgust.

"You smell pretty bad to me too" he chuckled.

My hands were trembling and the heat was threatening to overpower my self control. What the hell was going on?"

"Your natural instincts are telling you to attack me" Edward answered.

I raised my eyebrows at him "How the hell did you know I was thinking that?"

He chuckled as he pulled Bella to sit down on his lap "I assume that you have been informed that my family and I are vampires"

"What?" Bella squeaked.

I nodded "Yes, but that doesn't explain why you just answered my thoughts"

"Leah, some of my kind are born with powers. I can read my minds, Alice can see the future, and Jasper can feel and manipulate feelings"

"Seriously?" I asked dumbfounded.

He nodded "Yes"

"What the hell is going on? How does Leah know about your secret Edward?"

"Bella, Leah has joined the pack" Edward told her.

Bella stared at me horror stricken "Lee, are you okay?" she asked.

I smiled "Kind of, it takes a lot of getting used to"

"But how, you are a girl, I thought only the men phased."

I shrugged "I guess I am freak"

Bella rushed to my side and grabbed my hands "You are not a freak, Lee."

I laughed "Thanks Bells"

"Have you told your parents?"

"They know."

"What did they say?"

"They were surprised, but I am not really talking to my dad"

"Why not?"

I turned to look at her "He knew all along that Sam was a wolf, he was the one that told Sam to stay away from me"

"Oh, Lee, I am so sorry"

"My mom says I should forgive him, but I can't find the will too. I am so mad at him for keeping that from me and Sam for actually listening to him"

"Lee, they just wanted to keep you safe"

"Is that why you didn't tell me that your boyfriend was a vampire?"

She blushed "Leah, this world that you live in is dangerous, we can't go telling everyone about our existence. We have superiors who are more than willing to kill anyone who threatens to reveal what we really are" Edward informed me.

"That man in the meadow, he was a vampire?" I asked.

Bella nodded "Yes, he was, another vampire sent him to kill me"

"Have you found this other vampire?"

Edward answered "No, but I must inform you that things are going to get really dangerous, really soon, her name is Victoria and killed her mate when he threatened Bella's life, and now she seeks revenge"

"What do you mean?"

"Lee, she's after me" Bella whispered.

My whole frame started trembling "What, how?"

"Someone snuck into my room last night and stole some of my clothes; you know those murders that are going on in Seattle?"

"Yeah, my mom and Billy practically call Rachel every night to see that she's okay"

"That isn't a serial killer, Leah. That's Victoria and a gang of dangerous newborn vampires that she has created. But that isn't the worst part, Alice had a vision" she took a deep breath "Lee, they are coming here, to kill me, all of them."

I gasped in horror "Oh my god, when?"

"A month"

"What are you going to do?" I asked Edward.

"We are going to fight"

"How many are there?"

"Right now the number stands at twenty"

I shook my head "You are going to get yourselves killed!"

"No, we have been training; Jasper had experience with their kind"

"No, Edward there has to be something I can do"

"Leah, please" Bella begged "I don't want you involved in these problems"

"Bells you are my best friend, I have to do something"

I stood up and walked to the back door "Where are you going?" Bella asked anxiously.

"I have to tell the pack, we can help"

"Leah, we cannot ask you to put your lives in danger, this is our problem" Edward told me.

"No, it's our problem to, we are meant to protect human lives, and Bella is human."

"Leah …"

"No, Edward this became my problem the moment Bella was involved, and even if the pack refuses to help then I will"

I turned and ran to the forest, ignoring the anxious calls from Bella.

I stripped off my clothes and phased, the anger towards that leech that was threatening Bella's life had me running faster than I could have ever expected.

I ran to La Push and put my senses to work, I didn't know where Sam's cottage was so I had to rely on my amazing scent skills to trace him, it didn't take me long to find him.

I quickly phased back and slipped on my muddy dress, I ran to his house, from outside I could hear all the boys laughing and talking.

I pounded on the door anxiously, tears of fear running down my face.

Sam opened the door and stared at me dumbfounded "Leah, what's wrong?" he asked me anxiously.

I ran into his arms and sobbed while he cradled, my face buried in chest. "Lee-Lee, please talk to me" he begged.

"Sam, I need your help" I choked out.
