Epilogue

I want to take a minute to thank all of my loyal readers who have stuck with me since the beginning. It's been an amazing ride and I love each and every one of you. I started writing this to just see if I could and then my focus shifted to you, the readers. The reviews and support are better than any form of monetary payment I could ever receive. Ending this story is bittersweet; it's been my baby. But like all babies there comes a time when you have to let them go, no matter how hard it is.

~TAP Epilogue~

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Leah asked Jake as they snuggled together. It was still early and they were taking advantage of a rare quiet moment together.

"Yes. No. Fuck, I don't know. I want to see her, but I don't want her near the pack."

"Why? Is she dangerous?"

"No, at least that's what they tell me. She's been changed for over five years so I would think she has it under control. It just feels…wrong."

"Then tell them no." Leah could understand his indecision. She was just as curious as the next person to see Bella Swan as one of the walking dead, but she didn't want them anywhere near the pack and their families, but it wasn't up to her. It was up to her husband, and as Chief he had one hell of a decision to make. A decision she would support no matter what.

It wasn't as if Bella had disappeared from their lives and suddenly popped up out of nowhere. As promised, she stayed in touch. She called at least once a week and was always the first to send gifts to the pack and their families for birthdays and weddings and other special occasions. Dr. Cullen had even sponsored Seth and got him into one of the top medical schools in the country. Needless to say it was also no surprise when an anonymous benefactor paid his entire tuition.

The truth was the Cullen's had remained an active part of the packs lives, just from a far. And now the time had come to breach that distance. Or not. Jake was still on the fence even though today was the day they were supposed to arrive.

"But it's Bells. And they have done so much for the pack. It would be like slapping them and their generosity in the face." Giving her a soft kiss he let his hand cover her slightly rounded belly and nuzzled her neck. He loved how she smelled when she was pregnant all he could smell was him and the pup. It made his wolf ecstatic. "I just don't like the idea of them around my family."

"I can understand that, but what does your gut tell you?" He gave her a little smile.

"That it's going to be ok. I even got the approval of the great one himself if you can believe that."

"You had a vision? When, you never told me." The visits with Taha Aki had happened many times over the years. And not just to Jacob and Leah. It seemed the deity couldn't stay out of the packs business.

His most recent revelation came when he visited Embry and told him who his father was. Turns out Tiffany really didn't know. She had been at a bar with a bunch of friends and got drunk. She ended up going home with a guy and never got his name. No one was really surprised to find out it was Joshua Uley. Sam's reaction was the most unexpected of them all. Since his mother had passed away he was alone. Family was everything to him and he embraced his brother with open arms never once questioning fates decision.

"Couple of night's ago. I guess I got distracted before I could tell you." Leah pulled off her tank top and started rubbing seductively against him.

"Sidetracked? Hmmm…I wonder what could ever distract such a mighty focused Alpha?" She purred while nipping at the faint scar on his neck. She gave into her inner she wolf and claimed his ass long ago.

"Hmmm…I can only think of a couple of things, what your doing being one. Keep it up I like being distracted. In fact I can think of a few other places you can put that dirty little mouth of yours." All of a sudden there was the rumble of a half-dozen little feet. Leah barely got her shirt on before their bedroom door burst open.

"Mommy! Daddy!" they squealed before jumping on the bed and tackling their father. Well two of them tackled him; one curled up next to Leah for her morning fix of "Hold you mees".

Leah cuddled her three-year-old daughter and laughed as her twin brothers took their father down—or tried to. After a few minutes, a panting Jacob looked at Leah and laughed.

"And this would be the second thing that can distract me, but don't for a minute think I'm done with you Mrs. Black. We will continue this later."

"Promise?" She batted her eyelashes at him.

"An Alpha always keeps his promises." He gave her one last kiss before picking his boys up in both arms. "All right boys, what day is today?" He asked the two five year old versions of him."

"Saturday." JJ giggled from his upside down position. "Wolf riding day!"

Leah had kept her word. They did not keep the wolves a secret from the packs children, they knew from the minute they were born. As soon as the babies were brought home they met their fathers fury other halves. At times it seemed the wolves worshiped their pups more than their imprints. Jake had actually insisted on the babies sleeping in the bed with Leah while he slept in wolf form on the floor guarding them. She was ok with that for all of two nights and then she wanted her husband back. She gave him two weeks when their daughter was born, that little girl had him wrapped around her little finger from the get go. She was surprised she ever got his wolf out of her nursery.

"Besides that?"

"Make mommy breakfast day!" BJ squealed.

"Exactly…first we make mommy breakfast and then we go wolf riding. And later we're going to the beach with the pack. So what are we cooking boys?" When they both said Lucky Charms he dropped them to the bed and tickled them until they escaped and ran out the door screaming. Walking to the other side of the bed he dropped to his knees in front of the little girl with jet-black curls and hazel eyes. Nuzzling her neck he and his wolf basked in her honey-vanilla scent.

"Good morning, Princess." He whispered kissing her cheek. "Did you have happy dreams?"

"Good morning, Daddy." She yawned and curled further into Leah. "I dreameded about wolf."

"Oh, and what was wolf doing?" He asked smiling.

"Hold you mees." She said.

"Was it daddies wolf, Sara-Bell?" Leah asked. This wasn't the first time her daughter had dreamt about a wolf.

"No. Sara-Bells wolf. Can you make me pannacakes daddy?" Jacob's eyes met Leah's and he forced a smile.

"Of course I can. Why don't you go tell your brothers were making pancakes and I will be right down, ok?"

"Kay." Kissing them both she followed her brothers downstairs.

"I told you not to worry about it."

"She's dreaming about a wolf. How am I supposed to not worry about it?"

"How? I'll tell you how. I used to dream about a wolf, Jacob, and then I'd dream about you. To know that my daughter is probably dreaming about her future imprint can't make me anything but happy. To know that she will have what we have—"

He started to growl deep in his throat. No boy, wolf or not, was touching his daughter. A slap to the back of his head stopped him mid-growl and he looked into his wife's annoyed eyes. "To know that she will have someone to love and protect her is comforting. I learned not to question fate, Jacob. Taha Aki knows what he's doing and if she's dreaming about a wolf there's a reason."

"She's my little girl." He protested. Leah just rolled her eyes.

"Yeah? Well I was my fathers little girl and look at what you've done to me." Snarling he straddled her legs and pinned her wrists to the bed.

"Not the right answer, Leah." She started laughing out loud now. "What I've done to you? You just wait until later, I haven't done anything yet." he teased, running his tongue over the swell of her breast.

"Ohh, I like the sound of that. Now, back to Sara-Bell, what are you going to do, Honey? Alpha order him to stay away from her?" At his look of triumph she snorted and pushed against him until he released her hands. "She's three Jacob, you've got lots of time, Baby. Stop worrying so much and enjoy her. She won't be little forever. God help us if this ones a girl." She said, absently rubbing her belly.

"I want another girl. My girls are beautiful. They take after their mommy."

"You are such a sweet talker. You do know I'm a sure thing right. Just say the word and I'm yours."

"Mine." He whispered before kissing her again. All of the sudden a loud crash came from downstairs and they both groaned.

"And those boys are all yours too." She started to get out of bed but he stopped her.

"No, I got this—its spoil mommy day remember. You stay here and rest and think about all the naughty things I'm going to do to you when I get you alone." Before she could say anything else he kissed her belly and then her mouth and ran downstairs.

~TAP~

"I think this is all of it." Jake said as he dropped the armload of crap he had been carrying. "What happened to the days when we could go to the beach with a bottle of sunscreen and a towel?"

Laughing, Leah smiled at him. "That ended when Tweedle-dee and Tweedle-dum over there were born." She said pointing at their boys who were currently poking a dead jellyfish with a stick. Jacob Ephraim and William Harold Black, or JJ and BJ for short, were honeymoon babies. They were born exactly nine months after their wedding. Leah new the exact moment they were conceived, she swore she got knocked up the second the imprint was returned. Jacob was inclined to agree. They planned Sara Isabella—who was affectionately called Sara-Bell— two years later and now they were cooking number four.

In the last six years all of the wolves had finally imprinted. Seth met his imprint Abby, in college. Collin imprinted on Angela's cousin Nichole when she came to visit and Brady found his imprint Henley when he answered a random call to tow a car that broke down.

All of the older wolves now had families. Quil and Emma were trying to re-populate the reservation all on their own. Their first was a boy Quil Ateara VI, then came Madison and Morgan (unexpected twins), Allison, Teresa and Megan. Emma just found out last week she was pregnant again. She was furious. No one in the pack understood how either one of them thought a vasectomy would work on Quil. Hello…Rapid healing wolf.

Paul and Rachel had one set of twins, Matthew and Ainsley and declared two was more than enough. Especially since they were both pains in the ass just like their parents. Sam and Emily had Isaiah and then Samuel Junior and finally got their little girl Gemma. Embry and Angela's first born was a little boy Alexander and two years later his little sister Ella was born, they were working on making number three. And always the late bloomer Kim was six months pregnant with her and Jared's first.

The council was finally turned over to the pack after Jacob officially took the reigns of Chief two years ago. The elders were more than happy to relinquish control, especially now that they had so many grandchildren running around.

"Where's Sara-Bell?" Jacob asked as he helped Leah get everything set up.

"Where do you think?" Jacob quickly scanned the beach and found his daughter exactly where he though he would. Playing in the sand with Alex. The two of them had been damn near inseparable since she was born. "Do you think he's her wolf?" Leah asked.

"I don't want to think about that. I don't want any of them phasing. I want them to have normal lives."

"Oh, I don't know about that." Leah said as she wrapped her arms around his waist. "I love our life. Normal or not, its perfect."

"You're perfect." He whispered before kissing her.

"Hey, how about a little help over here?" Quil's voice broke through Jakes fog of lust. Dammit, would he ever get a free minute with his wife? Releasing Leah he turned around and started laughing. Quill was carrying twice as much shit as he had.

"Dude, were only going to be here for a few hours, what the fuck?" He said as he reached him and took the cooler out of his hands.

"Try telling that to her." He said nodding in Emma's direction. "There's still more shit in the van." They dumped the stuff in a pile and left to get the rest.

"How are you feeling Em, you're looking a little green?" Leah asked taking one-year-old Megan out of her arms.

"I am. I was only this sick with Q2. This one has to be a boy. I swear to Taha Aki I am having my vagina removed after this one."

"Don't you mean uterus? You can't have sex without a vagina." Emma gave her an evil look.

"Sex? Who has time? I've had sex six times in the last seven years and every time I've gotten knocked up. I'm done. He has super sperm. I swear I got knocked up with Allison having anal sex."

"That is a serious violation of the over-share rule, Emma." Leah said, shuddering from the unwanted visual that invaded her mind.

"What did she over-share?" Rachel asked dropping her two bags and pointing to the spot she wanted Paul to put the two coolers he was carrying.

"I got pregnant having anal sex." Emma replied

"Oh Shit, can that really happen?" Paul asked looking at Rachel, his expression more than a little worried.

"Oh my god! Go help Jake and Quil." Leah told him losing patience. Pregnancy made her a little grumpy sometimes.

"I see you're in rare form today." Rachel said sarcastically.

"Shut up before I punch you in the vagina."

"Classy. Do you kiss your kids with that mouth?" Rachel said before cupping her hands around her own mouth and yelling at the top of her lungs. "Ladies and Gentlemen of The Quileute Nation, your Chiefs Classy wife, Leah Black!" Several random people looked their way and started clapping.

"You are such a bitch. I hope you get knocked up having anal sex."

"It can happen, I'm proof!" Emma chimed in.

"Actually, I already did. Dr. Correctol delivered a bobbing Baby Leah this morning." Rachel and Emma both cracked up laughing at Rachel's joke. Leah, shaking her head, ignored them and walked over to Angela who was keeping an eye on the kids.

"Hey Leah. Are you ready for this?" Angela asked referring to the Cullen's visit.

"I don't know. How about you?"

"Excited and curious and terrified. I know I talk to her all the time on the phone but seeing her will be different. I mean she's one of them." She whispered the last word as if saying it out loud would make them appear.

"I know. I feel the same way."

"Look, Leah, isn't that cute." Angela said, pointing to Alex and Sara-Bell who were cuddled together looking at seashells.

"Yeah. She had another dream about her wolf last night."

"He still won't tell us too much about his dreams. Sometimes he dreams about Sara-bell, but he also dreams about the rest of the pack."

"I guess only time will tell."

"True. So when is this supposed to happen?"

"The Cullen's?" At her nod Leah continued. "Jake has Colin and Brady watching the treaty line. He's supposed to meet them there and then escort them back here for the bonfire and storytelling. If he has any doubt at all he won't bring them." They both remained silent after that, each lost in their own thoughts of the hours to come.

~TAP~

"I want to go with you!" Leah demanded not giving two shits that everyone was watching their argument.

"Are you out of your fucking mind? In what reality would I ever let my pregnant imprint come with me to meet with a bunch of fucking bloodsuckers? There isn't one, Leah. Ever! You're going to stay here! Where it's safe! And that's an order."

Leah felt the weight of the Alpha order bear down on her like a ton of bricks. God damn him. It had been maybe five minutes since they heard Brady's howl that the Cullen's had arrived. Leah jumped up to go with him and the argument had immediately ensued.

"It's the Cullen's, Jacob. I've been around them before. You said they weren't dangerous. " She continued to argue.

"Leah, I know what I said but until I know for sure that they are not a threat to you, my pups or my pack I will not have you anywhere near them. I need you to get everyone settled here and ready if I come back with them and it's still a big if at this point." Taking a deep breath he got his temper under control. "Please understand that what you are asking is impossible. You are my whole world and I will not put you in danger." When he put it that way she couldn't help but give in.

"Fine, but please be careful. That "You're my whole world" thing goes both ways you know." Pulling his pouting wife into his arms he gave her a kiss hot enough to rival a Vesuvius eruption.

"I know and I will. I promise. I Love you, Leah." Releasing her into Rachel's waiting arms he turned and headed to the woods. "Paul, Quil…lets go."

It only took about five minutes to make it to the treaty line once they were phased. Jacob used the time to observe what was happening through Collin and Brady's eyes. The four couples stood talking among themselves patiently waiting for Jacob to arrive. They were all there and looked the same exactly the same and it really creeped him the fuck out.

He didn't know why because none of the wolves aged and their imprints aging had slowed to a snails pace. So none of them had really gotten older but they had changed, even if it was only something as simple as growing out their hair or a beard. Even more unexpected, he couldn't sense any animosity coming from Brady or Collin; in fact they appeared uncharacteristically bored with the whole situation. This was a good sign. Neither wolf felt threatened.

Pulling on his shorts he waited for Paul and Quill to catch up. Once they had and were dressed they followed him through the trees. He had barely made it into the clearing when he heard "Jake!" and was slammed into the ground by what he could only assume was a wrecking ball. The smell was overwhelming and his wolf was about two seconds from reacting when he heard "Bella, Stop!" and the weight was quickly pulled away from his body. Looking up into the panicked amber eyes of a very Vampire Bella he grabbed his aching ribs and started to laugh.

"Damn, Bells. Some warning would be nice next time." Breaking out of Edwards hold she rushed to help him up.

"Ohmygod! I am so sorry. I just got so excited I forgot for a minute. Are you ok? Oh god, I can't do this. I'm going to hurt someone. I'm so sorry, Jake. Are you hurt? Did I break anything? CARLISLE! He's hurt." Her hands were surprisingly gentle as they ran over him looking for injuries.

"Bella, I'm fine honey. I just wasn't expecting you to slam into me. You caught me off guard. Lets try that again shall we?" He said, opening his arms wide. She squealed and gently wrapped her arms around his neck as he lifted her up in one of his famous bear hugs.

"God, I've missed you and your hugs."

"I've missed you too, Bells." He said before gently pushing her away and coughing. At her hurt look he clarified. "Sorry, it's just…the smell, nose of a basset hound remember."

"Yeah, I do and don't apologize I was holding my breath. You really do smell like a dirty wet dog. I mean…wow…it's really bad."

"Yeah, yeah whatever. If that's not the pot calling the kettle black I don't know what is. I'd rather smell like a wet dog than bloodsucker."

"I beg your pardon, I do not stink." She said, self-consciously smelling her arm.

"Trust me, Bells, your days of smelling like strawberries are long gone." Turning he held out his hand. "Edward."

"Jacob, It's good to see you. Life seems to be treating you well." He said shaking his hand.

"Seem to be?" Jake laughed. "Like you haven't already picked through my brain. But either way, thanks for asking and yeah, it has. I've never been happier."

"Didn't Bella tell you?" At his confused look Edward continued. "I can't read mind's anymore, well…at least not with Bella around. As it turns out she has a special gift of her own. I haven't had to deal with all that noise for a couple of years and believe me when I say the silence has been beyond blissful."

"Really?" He asked, looking at Bella.

"Yeah, apparently I'm some kind of mental shield." Bella explained waving her hand around her head like it was no big deal.

"That makes sense, you always did have a hard head." Jacob teased before grabbing her in a headlock and giving her a noogie. Looking around he saw Paul talking with Jasper, and Quil and Emmet were doing their best—and succeeding— to piss off Rosalie. It was all business as usual. Everything in him said it would be ok to take them back to the beach. Nodding at Collin Jake gave him the signal to go tell everyone that they were all coming back.

"Jacob, I can feel your hesitation and I promise you, none of us are a threat." Jasper said as if reading his mind.

"I know, I think its more my wolf than anything. He's a little protective about his pups, but I can keep him under control."

"And if Jake can't—Leah will." Quil said laughing.

"Are you sure?" Carlisle asked. "We'd never want any of you to feel uncomfortable."

"I'm sure. Sue is looking forward to seeing you again as well as Seth. They really want you to see the new reservation clinic and get your input and everyone wants to see Bells. Tonight is important, historic." Jake said smiling at Carlisle.

"I have to agree. I can honestly say that when I met your great grandfather all those years ago and signed that treaty I would never have imagined we would end up here."

"Yeah, well I'm pretty sure it's not something he would have imagined either." Jacob laughed. "We're all at the beach, I'm sure Bells knows the way. Just let me escort you to the bonfire and it will all be good."

"Lead the way." Edward said grabbing Bella's hand.

~TAP~

It reminded Leah of her first dance in sixth grade. Except this time is wasn't boys on one side of the gym fidgeting awkwardly in their suits and girls on the other giggling with their friends, this time it was the Cullen's on one side of the bonfire and the pack on the other and the strain was unbearable.

Ever since Colin and Brady had returned with the news that Jake was really going to bring their mortal enemy onto the reservation the pack had been wound tighter than a spring. Some were nervous, some were excited and some were starting to question agreeing with this. Jake, always the diplomatic leader had brought his brothers on board to help him make the decision when the Cullen's first approached him with visiting.

Glancing around Leah gave Jakes hand a squeeze. Someone had to extend the proverbial olive branch and as the Alphas mate it looked like it was going to be her. Setting Sara-Bell on the ground she started to stand up when the little girl walked fearlessly to Bella. You could have heard a pin drop it was so quiet. Jacob slowly stood up fighting his wolf, who at that very moment was ready to rip Bella apart. This had been a mistake.

"Hello. My name is Sara-Bell. I've seen you in my nighttime sleeps. My daddy haves pictures of you." Enchanted, Bella knelt down in front of her namesake.

"Hi Sara-Bell, my name is Bella. I have pictures of you too. It's a pleasure to finally meet you." She held out her hand but before Sara-Bell could take it Alex escaped Angela's arms and ran to Sara-Bell, pushing her roughly behind him. His normally brown eyes were glowing an eerie amber color and a small growl was rattling in his chest. All of the wolves stood up, you could taste the fear as it spread through the pack. Embry held Angela, torn between comforting her and rushing to his son. In the end he held back, instinctively knowing any sudden moves could be catastrophic.

"Stand down." Jacobs voice cut through the tension like a knife. All the wolves froze and Alex's eyes flew up to meet the ambient glow of his Alphas. The amber color faded and was quickly replaced with coffee brown eyes full of fear. Taking the two steps that separated them Jacob knelt in front of Alex.

"It's ok, Alex. Sara-Bell is safe." His eyes scanned over the Cullen's and returned to Jacobs. "Yes. They are different. I understand what you are feeling and you did well." The little boys chest puffed out with his Alphas praise. "You were right and very brave to protect Sara-Bell. One day you will become a warrior—"

"Like Papa?" His small voice interrupted. Jacob smiled and looked at Embry.

"No. Better than your Papa." The little boys eyes widened in disbelief, "You will be stronger and faster and bigger than your Papa." The packs soft chuckles filled the air. "But not until the time is right, and now is too soon." Alex turned to look at his best friend and his lower lip started to quiver.

"But…but…Sara-Bell." Jacobs heart wrenched.

"Who is the strongest, meanest wolf?"

"Uncle Alpha." The four year old answered proudly.

"And who is Sara-Bells daddy?"

"Uncle Alpha."

"Exactly. So I'm going to make you a promise, an Alpha's promise. I promise I will take care of Sara-Bell and keep her safe until you are that big strong warrior."

"And then I can protect her?" More chuckles rang through the group.

"And then you can help me protect her. It's my job as her daddy to always protect her."

"When I marry her it will be only my job, like Papa protects me and mommy." Alex said standing his ground. Jacob looked around at his pack and the Cullen's who were obviously enjoying this little stand down.

"You're going to marry her, huh?" Jacob said standing up and crossing his arms. He furrowed his brow and looked down at the little boy who boldly mimicked his pose.

"Yes. I am. When I'm ten." Jacob nodded as if agreeing and then started to rub his chin.

"Well…that's still a few years away. Until then I will keep her safe and you will keep your wolf asleep until it's the right time to wake him up." Little shoulders slumped as the weight of the subtle Alpha order washed over him. "Do we have a deal, Pup?"

Alex lifted his hand and smiled when his Alpha shook it. "We have a deal." With that he ran excitedly to his parents. "Mama, Papa, Uncle Alpha said I can marry Sara-Bell when I'm ten."

"That's wonderful sweetheart." Angela cooed, hugging him close so he couldn't see her tears. Embry met his Alphas eyes and bowed his head in gratitude. Jacob had just given Alex his childhood back.

"Well, that was exciting." Billy clapped his hands startling everyone. "I think its time to tell some stories. Everyone got situated and waited for Billy to begin. Sara-Bell sat on Jacobs lap next to Bella.

"You're pretty like a Princess. Are you a princess?" She asked Bella.

"No, I'm not a princess, but thank you. You're very pretty too."

"My daddy tells me I'm beautiful like my mommy." She said proudly. "That lady looks like a fairy. Is she a fairy?" she asked pointing to Alice.

"No, she's not. But your daddy does call her Tinkerbelle."

"What can I say, great minds think alike." Jacob said, his eyes full of love and pride as he looked at his daughter.

"You smell stinky." She said honestly as only a child could. This had everyone busting out in laughter. If Bella could still blush she would have been fire engine red.

"Yes, I know. Your daddy mentioned that earlier." Bella said smiling at Jacob.

"Like I said…great minds." Bella smacked his shoulder and then they all turned to Billy who was telling a new story for the first time, The legend of the two hearts. One heart who would bring love and peace to a broken Alpha healing him and his pack and one who's love of an immortal would bring two enemies together in harmony.

~TAP~

Leah covered Sara-Bell, tucking her in and kissed her forehead. The poor little thing was wiped out.

"I love watching her sleep. Her innocence is breathtaking." Jacob said from behind her. Bending over he gave his daughter a kiss. "Good night, Princess. Happy Dreams."

"It is. Funny, the boys don't look innocent when they sleep, they look just as devious as when they're awake. We're going to have our hands full with those two."

"Yeah, I know…I can't wait." Taking her hand he led her to their room.

After the initial drama the night had actually been pretty great. Once Billy was done with stories they ate and everyone caught up. The two families blended as if it was the most natural thing to do. Bella, Rosalie and Esme fell in love with all of the kids and spent the entire night playing with them and spoiling them rotten. They had even gotten them all gifts that Emmet and Quil had retrieved from their old house. Emma was ecstatic. With all the new babysitters she was actually able to relax, well when she wasn't throwing up.

Sam and Jasper spent hours talking with the elders. They were amazed at all of the historic conflicts he'd been a part of. Rosalie spent time talking shop with Jake and Embry and wanted to see the garage and his Camaro. Alice bonded immediately with Nicole and Henley. They were all shop-a-holics and planned a shopping trip the next day much to Collin and Brady's despair. Carlisle, Esme, Sue, Leah, Seth and Abby all went to the clinic where Carlisle gave some valuable input that they were going to put in place immediately.

By then end of the night all of the kids had passed out where they stood and the adults were beyond exhausted. With promises of seeing each other tomorrow they all went their separate ways.

"So, tonight was good." Leah said as she started getting undressed.

"Yeah…it was wasn't it?" Stepping behind her he gathered her hair and draped it gently over one shoulder giving him access to her neck, which he immediately started kissing. "You know what?"

"What?" She said on a sigh.

"It's about to get even better." She started to giggle.

"Oh is it?"

"Yes, it is. I believe I made a promise to you this morning. Something about naughty things I'm going to do to you." Warm hands slowly slid her bra down her arms and cupped her breasts.

"I…vaguely recall you saying something. I think…I think I'm gonna need you to refresh my memory." Two thumbs simultaneously teased her sensitive nipples and her knees buckled.

"That will most definitely be my pleasure, Mrs. Black." Slowly picking his naked wife up in his arms he carried her to their bed and gently lay her down. Dropping his shorts he crawled over her and ran his tongue along her bottom lip. She immediately responded opening her mouth to his kiss and wrapping her arms around his neck, tangling her fingers in his shoulder lenght hair. Pulling back he looked into emerald eyes and smiled. "I love you, Leah. Forever."

"I love you too, Jacob. Forever." Her eye searched his and saw nothing but love and adoration. "So…what about all of those naughty things."

"They're going to have to wait. I want to make love to my beautiful wife instead."

"Such a sweet talker." She laughed.

"Nope…just being honest. But don't worry, round two will be naughty." He said wiggling his eyebrows.

"Round two, huh? Feeling optimistic I see."

"Psshh…not optimistic, confident in my abilities to totally rock your world. Besides, I made a promise. That's pretty much irrefutable." He mouth covered one of her swollen nipples and started to gently suck.

"So Jacobs promise is basically covenant?" She moaned as he moved to her other breast.

"Not Jacobs promise, Baby. The Alphas Promise. " He teased. "Now stop talking and let me show you exactly how much I love you.

Leah didn't say another word.

The End

A/N

Thank you all again for reading TAP and for all of your wonderful reviews. I still have a few outtakes planned and I'm looking foreword to writing them. I've been working on my next story that started out as a one shot called Taking Chances. Its called Dual Commitment. It's about Jake, Leah and Paul. Here's the summary for a little teaser. The first chapter will be up in the next couple of days.

Dual Commitment by Call me Mrs. Meraz

AH/ Alternate Universe

Jake/Leah/Paul

Rated: M, for lots of hotness of the threesome variety.

Once upon a time Leah Clearwater believed in love…that is until love shattered her in ways she'd never imagined. Now, all grown up, she refuses to fall victim to her foolish emotions and pushes away anyone who tries to break through her carefully constructed walls. She'd rather end up alone than take a chance. But what happens when she catches the eye of not just one, but two men who will move mountains to prove her wrong. To show her that love is worth the fall, especially when they are both there to catch her.
