3 Months Later
I still cannot believe that things ended like that. My life was spared by volturi. But my family got punishment for all this. And worse of all, edward lost his mate. He left right after our confrontation with the volturi. But he came back after 6 weeks. His disheveled appearance on arrival made me feel even more guilty.
A mate's bond among vampires is very strong and edward lost that. However, he was not that bad. Dad's words, not mine. When I asked mom, she said that losing a mate is deadly for vampires. They lose the will to live if they lose their mate. But edward was doing far better. I wondered what was all that about. Maybe bella's betrayal made it easier for him to digest the loss of his mate. Maybe.
I was going with that thought, maybe to ease my guilt or maybe to wish for a hope for edward, hope that he will move on. But, boy was I wrong. An explosive rant turned my family upside down.
I was trying to live normally after the ordeal. Mom, dad, grandma, grandpa, alice, jasper - everyone's talks lessen the guilt, just a bot though. We still had a long road to cover. Jacob rarely left my side. And, I was spending more time at la push to make it easier for him. I was spending more time with pack too, to get involved in their lives, to become a part of it.
It was edward who was my main concern. I wanted him to have the happy ending. And a mate for him was the only answer. I was trying to find this answer. But, fate had something planned for all of us.
Everything changed when someone had enough with edward's sulking. Due to losing his mate, edward became a shell of his previous self. He kept to himself, rarely talked to anyone and spent most of his time hunting and in the woods. We and the pack left him alone for the moment. He deserved it.
But leah thought differently. One day when edward was leaving for hunting or maybe for sulking in the woods, leah came out of nowhere and pounced at him in her wolf form. It was scary to see her attack edward like that and he was shocked too. Everyone was. But it was jake who recovered first. He alpha ordered leah to stop attacking edward.
But that didn't caught my attention. It was edward's loud gasp that held my attention. And, the words he uttered were even more shocking 'You imprinted on me?' he asked leah who was still in her wolf form. And, she nodded dejectedly. Now THAT is a clusterfuck. We all stood there in shock as we grasped the newly revealed information.
'Leah. Phase back and EXPLAIN' jacob ordered. Leah went into the woods and then came back in her human form. Her shoulders dropped and eyes downcast. We all took a seat in the living room when she explained everything.
Apparently , she imprinted on edward a long time ago, even before he got married. She imprinted on him during the newborn battle. But it was not her that edward wanted. And, a wolf becomes what the mate wants. So, she became a protector. How she kept this to herself all this time was beyond me. In the chaos of battle's end and jacob getting hurt, edward couldn't read leah's mind. So, he never found about it either.
Since, edward didn't need leah at that moment, her thought of him were just of protecting him, so edward never noticed. All these years, leah felt the pain of being away from her mate, but she managed because he was happy. But now, everything has changed.
Bella is out of the picture and edward is again looking for a mate. Well, maybe not now but in near future. One can hope. And, now he needs leah. More than ever. And, she was fed of him sulking for bella who left him for someone else. So, she did what she thought was right. She attacked him to get him out of his sulking mode.
Everyone was shocked to hear all this. But in my heart, there was hope. Edward suddenly stood up and started towards the door. But then, stopped and turned to look at leah. 'Let's go. We need to talk.' And that was it. We left it to them to figure things out.
But, I could see things blossoming between them. 2 Months and they became good friends. I could see them having a good future, together. It would take time, but hope was there. Now in my life, everything is perfect. I have the family I love more than myself, a mate to die for and a big happy family.
There are uncertainties but when is life predictable. Anything that comes our way, we will manage together. If good, then we will embrace it and if it is bad, then we will defeat it. But I am hoping for everything to work out. Well, I hope so. I will just have to live and See.
The End.
