Leah's POV

~It's hard to say that I'd rather stay awake when I'm asleep~

"They seem to have picked another member on their way" Paul broke the silence but never looked up.

"Who?" I didn't know another kid at the rez had phased.

"The Cullens. There's a new one with them. A red head. She seems to be really attached to Edward. Looks like him too"

"Well whatever, as long as they stay away"

"I thought he'd leave the command to me, but he doesn't trust me completely" Paul's voice was a whisper.

"Is not that he doesn't trust you, vampires are back, kids needs a higher charge" I mumbled not really knowing what to say.

"You suck at this" he snickered and I laughed.

"So where did they come from?"

"We don't know, they were hunting, most of them were newborns. They were all frenetic and mad. Their leader wasn't much old either. They just attacked us, not even pausing. Lance took the worse. That poor kid hadn't even seen a bloodsucker. He managed to defend himself but when we got there were chunks of his body everywhere. He phased last minute. Healed faster. He must be traumatized" he took a deep breath and shook his head "We didn't even have time to get everyone. Sam was everywhere trying to defend the kids while Jared, Collin, Brady and I got the leeches. Like I said it was fucking nuts"

"Jesus. Did you get all of them?"

"No, three of them hauled ass" Paul's breath was uneven.

"Oh" was all I managed to say. Somehow I've missed two fights and a part of me was a little disappointed.

There wasn't much to be said. I patted Paul in the back and got up and walked away. Paul wasn't the best at talking; he had always been frustrated about his basketball future ruined by his transformation. He was always angry and that's why it took him longer to control phasing out of the blue.

The forest was cold and uninviting. The stench of the leeches seemed to be carried with the wind and it was everywhere. I walked further into the woods and heard movement. Alert and ready for an attack I quickly undressed and phased. Listening. Waiting. I hated being a wolf. But I felt liberated and wild every time I phased. My muscles seemed to unclench from my human form and I was able to breathe freedom.

I stood next to a tree and crouched ready to attack when I saw Carlisle come into view with his arms up and a smile on his face. I groaned loudly and walked a little further into the trees where I had left my clothes. I dressed in a hurry and walked back to where he stood.

"Hello Ms. Clearwater" he looked like a statue.

"Dr. Cullen" formality wasn't my best subject but I knew when to not be rude, especially to him, Sam was alive because of him.

"I didn't mean to startle you" his lips moved but his facial expression stayed the same "Is Jacob with you?"

"No, he's with Sam's pack" I was starting to get fidgety and impatient.

"Oh, I see" he looked around and his pale face composed into a pensive look "Since he will be taking over the reins of things for a while until Sam recuperates. I will like to arrange a meeting. Tonight if it's possible"

"Sure, I'll let him know. Midnight, at the clearing where we fought the newborns" I said turning around.

"Thank you, Ms. Clearwater" he called from behind me.

I reached the house quickly, anger pulsing through me. I didn't want to go to the damn meeting. But as the beta it was my responsibility to follow my alpha. Jacob didn't like the idea of the meeting much either but we decided that it was for the best so the other pack could get a break. Those poor kids were scared shitless.

"Embry, Quil, you guys go in first, Paul, Leah and I will follow behind" Jacob ordered when we entered the woods "Collin, Brady, Jared you'll be behind us" we walked in a rhombus formation. Paul Jacob and I were in the middle.

Nine figures stood in the distance. Their silhouettes frozen as the mist danced around them.

"Heartbeat" I blurted out quietly as I eyed them.

"Must be someone from Sam's pack; the young ones are probably curious"

"I don't think so" I said walking forward.

"Relax" Paul said and I looked at him, it seemed like he was trying to act his own words. Slight trembles ran under his skin.

I could make out their faces now, but only two caught my attention. Bella stood on Edwards left side and she eyed us carefully. Her face hadn't changed much, she fit in now. Her eyes were the color of honey with small specks of red. I guess she was sticking to her diet. God how i wanted to rip her face off. I chuckled and Paul looked at me. I didn't bother to explain and kept walking.

The red head, the new one, was looking at Embry and Quil talking. She didn't look older than fifteen. She did resemble Edward. Her hair was in soft curls and she was taller than Bella.

"Hello, thank you for agreeing to see us" Carlisle looked at Jacob with a careful smile "As you can see our family has grown" he said signaling to where Edward, Bella and the red head stood "I hope our treaty still stands"

Jacob's hand tightened in mine. I felt my knuckles crack and his grip just kept tightening. I looked up at him. His jaw was clenching and his muscles started to tense. Following his sight it landed on the red head who looked as dumbfounded as he did. I looked back at him. Paul looked as puzzled as I did. And his eyes bounced back and forth between Jacob and the leech.

Then it hit me, this was the blow I was waiting for. I felt my heart shatter and my stomach dropped. Suddenly my skin wasn't enough. I craved to leave the confines of my human body. I looked down, not finding the strength to phase. I felt weak and...defeated.

"Jacob?" Paul asked and Embry and Quil looked back.

"Talk to Leah, she's Alpha in command now" my mouth hung open as I saw him turn around and walk away. I watched him disappear into the woods. His clothes shredding as he phased.

"What the fuck just happen?" Collin's asked turning to look over at Brady.
