Leah's POV

We had been so busy with the youngest pups, who where now living full time in the Clearwater/Black ...BlackWater? home. Keeping the pups close had proven easy considering they were both from families that were in the know.

The rest of the pups had gotten a little jealous when I cleared out the downstairs spare bedroom for Emmanuel and Matthew. So much so that to stop all the fighting I had to declare Friday pack nights, we would all get together and have dinner and watch a movie.

All the pups would stay over, littering our front room covering every space available. Which is where they were tonight even though it wasn't a Friday. I stood in the door way watching my boys as they slept. In a tank top and shorts, my face pink and flustered from the heat all these boys were creating.

I felt the heat of a wolf against my back as Jake's arms circled my waist. "So mama wolf, you finally got our boys to sleep?" Jake chuckled lightly.

"Oh yes Your Almighty Aplahness all our pups are fast asleep. I'm just about to iron shirts and pants want to lend me a hand?" I tugged at his hand pulling him towards the laundry room, that he had modified for us.

Shelves lined the walls floor to ceiling on two sides of the room, filled with basket ball shorts, t-shirts and smart wear. On the back wall under a counter top was a huge washing machine and matching tumble dryer. Jake had also installed a pull out ironing board for me and a rail to hang ironed clothes on.

Laundry was a chore we shared, working wolves were excused from chores except for when it came to their turn to make lunch before our Sunday training session.

Adam prepared lunches for everyone twice a week in his free periods, Zeke prepared breakfast just about everyday with the help of Seth occasionally. Dinners we took turns in preparing but I still ended up cooking the majority of dinners.

Every wolf took turns in doing the food shopping, usually in pairs. Depending on which wolves had done the shopping I would usually need to go back and grab the essentials.

Me and Jake replaced basket ball shorts, trainers and t-shirts with the money from the pack fund that we had started. The difference it made to pack life was amazing, I don't know why Sam hadn't thought of it sooner.

Between school, running a pack and raising pups Jake had set up his own company. Well he liked to say it was ours but all I really done was keep the books. We were a pack of 35 strong tall men...and one woman, why not open a construction company? We had all the tools we needed from Billy and Quil's late father, we even had 4 trucks.

There was always work in the construction field going and Jake gave such reasonable quotes that the work had come flying in, occasionally someone would ask for Jake's unique wood carving skills for something like an ornate banister or a coffee table. That generated alot of Money because those sorts of people were willing to pay. He employed all the older wolves, each wolf worked six days a week and was paid for five. One day of the week from each wolf going into the pack fund. The worked incredibly hard and had hardly any free time but they were bettering themselves.

Jake's most important rule was that every wolf graduate and be employed by eighteen. He wanted us to be upstanding members of our community, people for the youth to look up to.

When I wasn't patrolling I ran the local youth centre, that we had built after fundraising for a while, we offered free Quileute classes curtesy of Embry.

Jacob had disguised the pack as a back to roots kind of group, so coming and going from the forest at all hours was explained by old Quiluette traditions. We weren't really lying if you thought about it. The people of the tribe had started to trust and value us, the older generations marvelling at our dedication to the old traditions.

Jacob had us all doing everything we could for the tribe. If a cat was stuck in a tree, we would send one of the pups to get it down. We helped out with all the elderly, volunteering at their homes to cook, clean or do everyday repairs free of charge. We cleaned up the litter on the beaches, we even fed the poor in the newly refurbished food hall.

Jake made me proud to be apart of the pack, I felt like we had some worth! We were not just running around in the forest like we had been with a Sam. We were protecting our tribe properly and not just from those blood sucking leeches. We were trained and prepared but we were also making a difference in our community. I was no longer ashamed of being apart of the pack.

I handed the shirt I was ironing over to Jake who was staring down at me expectantly. What did I miss? "Sorry Jake what did you say?" I had been so caught up in thought that I hadn't heard him speaking.

"I was saying ... what are we going to do to celebrate graduation tomorrow? Have you thought of anything?" Jacob asked me again amusement laced his voice.

"Erm no, I'm sorry! I know it's important for you all I've just had so much in my plate this week. How about we get my mum to put together one of her famous grills?" I smiled up at Jake apologetically.

"That sounds good to me Lee, you finished borrowing my hands now? Cause I'm gona go take a much needed shower"

I laughed and sniffed at the air dramatically, "definitely finished! You reek! I'm just going to set out the shirts and trousers for the boys and I will be up.

I made my way to the dining room as filled of shirts. I hung each wolfs outfit, labels and all of course, from a rail that hung along the entire back wall. Shoes all neatly in a row, ready for the morning.

I climbed the stairs wearily thinking about what I could possibly wear tomorrow. I hadn't thought to grab myself anything nice. I couldn't hear the shower and so assumed Jake had finished and was getting dressed.

Heat crept up the back of my neck and my cheeks tinted pink at the thought of Jake naked. Sam, Jared and Paul had taken over Jake's room so he was sleeping with me tonight.

My stomach bubbled at the thought of sleeping with Jake, we would be sleeping literally i know but just the thought of being that close to him sent sparks of nerves through me.

After waiting for what felt like forever I cracked open my bedroom door calling out to Jake. "Hay Jake you decent?"

I heard him mumble that he was and pushed open the door making my way into the room. As I turned around my jaw nearly dropped on the floor. "Jacob Black that is not decent! Put some clothes on!"

Jake was standing at my side of the bed in his boxers! Boxers! How was that decent? The boy was clearly confused! He laughed quietly at me shaking his head.

"Lee this is basically the same thing u see me walking around in all day, give or take a lil length." He raised his eyebrows at my red face.

"Yes but usually your running around the forest, not getting into my bed."I hid my face behind my hands trying but failing to hide my embarrassment.

Jake strode over to me lifting me off the ground and depositing me next to him on the bed. "Lee do I make you feel uncomfortable?" His voice was serious, he sounded a little hesitant.

"Because if this is too much! If your still worried about the imprint I can back off? I know I'm a little too eager sometimes, you will have to forgive me Lee! For me your just so familiar, I sometimes feel there was never anyone but us. I guess I forget that maybe you don't feel the same way." He hung his head low not meeting my eyes.

I lifted his chin till his eyes met mine and leant in to gently press my lips against his. "Jake you can't exactly expect me to know how you feel if you haven't told me."

His eyes shot up in surprise. "So you do feel the same? What do you mean I didn't tell you? Don't you remember Embry blurting everything out in front of the leeches?"

My smile grew wide and Jake's grew to match mine. "Of course I remember that, I was just waiting for you to tell me! I thought you wanted time after the imprint and everything."

"Leah Clearwater I love you with everything I am! I always have and I always will! We are two halves of a whole, we are destined to be together and to run our pack together. ... that clear enough?"

My heart raced as I leapt from my seat beside Jake into his arms. I threw my arms around his neck and kissed him passionately. "Don't ever leave me ok Jake? Don't you ever leave me."

Jake picked me up and folded over the covers slipping us between the sheets, just as I was drifting off I heard him whisper. "Never Lee I'm yours forever if you will have me."
