Leah

I know that I was hurting my parents by leaving but they also knew having imprinted on Alex their was little that they could do about my decision and that I would be a lot happier without being around my ex-boyfriend and his lover / imprint. I think that Charlie and Alex were both surprised by my parents reaction as neither really objected to my leaving. I think Harry was the most surprised about Charlie's reactions as it seemed that his longtime friend was acting rather childish and overbearing demanding that Alex should listen to him and then trying to paint an unfavorable picture of his own son who it seems the man knows even less about then I do and I just meet him. I would definitely understand his father not knowing about his less then legal activities but to not even know that his son owned several businesses as well as the fact that his son had been emancipated and he was the police chief for him to miss this much seemed insane.

My parents had pulled me aside before we left and reminded me to be safe as I was their only daughter and that they were impressed with Alex as they had expected the teenage that was most males to rise up and challenge Charlie like most men do at our age when someone tries to belittle them. Dad said it not only takes maturity but a wise man to act the way Alex had in the face of the an authority figure and maintain ones control. My mom surprised me most by telling me that should I need anything to call and that she was already picturing the beautiful grandbabies that we would produce in the future. I found this surprising because when I was with Sam all she would ever mention was protection and how she was far to young to become a grandmother and that if I did that to her she wouldn't know what to do with herself. My guess on this matter was that dad must have informed her of my status in the pack and now she is only looking for anything that might cheer me up from two of the most depressing moments of my life being dumped by Sam for Emily and shortly after that being forced to be around Sam and the rest of the pack after I phased.

The drive was enjoyable if a little bit slower then expected as I had done the math and knew that when he drove back up after flying home he made the drive in a day meaning that his going the speed limit and our later then planned departure we would not be getting to Phoenix today or rather tonight. My thoughts were answered when we stopped around halfway their we stopped in Twin Falls Id. Having check prior to leaving I knew that this wasn't the fastest route to Phoenix as that route was through California but that route also crossed through Sacramento and dangerously close to L.A. of which traffic could easily cost several hours of drive time should we hit any rush hour traffic.

The hotel was nicely furnished and Alex had asked if I would prefer my own room or if I was comfortable with a room that had separate beds. I was slightly surprised by this as I knew that eventually we would share a room and I was looking forward to this but I hadn't expected him to be so respectful most guys that I knew would have never offered to get me a separate room let alone given the option most would have tried to get a room with a single bed forcing us to share and for some odd reason it seemed like this hadn't crossed his mind yet. I responded by telling him two beds would be fine and I was somewhat curious what his reactions to me would be and realizing that he was serious about us having separate rooms in his home.

The prospect of being so close to my loved one as well as not getting to share a bed with my loved one was going to drive me mad as it seemed that the more time I spent around Alex the harder it was for me to be away from him. I was also struggling internally wondering if he did in-fact love me as much as I did him as it seemed he was controlling himself not only better then any man I had ever met but was also showing more restraint then I was at this point. I knew that I had found my one true love and their was little that I could do about it as I was more then ready to continue the relationship and move on beyond the getting to know one anther as I was unsure how long we would have together thanks to my knowledge of the supernatural and the high probability that I would easily outlive my partner with my shape shifting genetics and inability to stop phasing at this point ensure that I will live far longer then is natural. Second is the fact that recently I have felt an incredible urge to make love to Alex and do so repeatedly almost like my body was trying to force me to get pregnant or if I were an actual wolf I was in heat.

With that lost thought I started to wonder exactly how much does my ability to transform into a giant wolf affect me biologically and if this is the case what does that mean to me?

After stopping for the night I thought it best to let Leah choose the sleeping arrangements I fully planned on letting her control the pace at which we moved as I didn't want to push things and potentially ruin the greatest thing that has ever happened to me in my life. I was slightly surprised when Leah agreed to share a room with me as I had figured that she would have wanted her privacy. Apparently I hit a preverbal jackpot when I fell in love with this goddess as she was not only gorgeous but confident in herself enough so that she could share a room with someone she barely knew. I couldn't wait to get home and show Leah more of who I really am and truly see how she would react to my lifestyle. One look at Leah and you could tell that he loved to run and train if her body was anything to go by she practically screamed athlete. We had already talked it over and Leah was going to join me on my morning runs and observe the rest of my routine as a way to get to know one anther before she either continued to join me which I was silently praying for as thought of not being near her was nearly driving me mad or she looked around for something else of which perked her interest and would allow her to find what it was she wanted to do with her life. This was also leading me to my next dilemma as to how I would break it to Leah that I was technically immortal and that I could really only die if I choose to. This future conversation was truly starting to trouble me as I had no clue how she would take this conversation as most would either think that I was joking or crazy. My current train of thought has been leading me to move more towards some form of showing that I am beyond normal such as lifting a car up or maybe staying under water for ten minutes. Both of these would prove that I am beyond normal but have also been faked by magicians in the past. I really don't want to loose Leah and so far every way I can think of telling her that I am immortal so far can lead to only one outcome her leaving and believing I am crazy.
