Sari loves Lleyna and though I'm still furious with her, I know that in a lot of ways she isn't completely to blame. I need you to have her back, Nahuel. She is still my sister and she still deserves to have happiness despite what she's been through.

Peter's Story

Chapter Thirty-Five

Nessie was the most troubled with Lleyna's leaving, but it was by "her own choice" Jacob kept reminding her. That calmed her for a few hours and then she would start the process again. She was a grieving mother who had seemingly thrown her child out into the world.

What she didn't realize was that Lleyna had already run away into the world long ago: she had been married, experienced loss, and had a baby; she wasn't exactly new to the game. Besides, it wasn't like she wasn't old enough. Lleyna was eighteen-a whole eleven years older than our mom had been when she "went out in the world."

But overall, after Lleyna left things settled down a bit. Or settled down as much as a family like ours could make it.

The wolves weren't as tense, even though Jesse was still here, and seemed to really back off on the whole issue entirely. It was strange to me because Jesse had always posed more of a threat to the people here since she was unknown than Lleyna did "falling off the wagon," yet no one threw a fit about baby Jesse living in the little cottage with Rose and Emmett.

Well, PJ had a few choice words on the matter, but finally decided to swear off contact with the little "creature" and only see her if he was Alpha ordered to do so. He never got close enough to touch her, and I'm almost positive he was the only one to do so.

Surprisingly, Skylar and Abby had literally no problems with baby Jessica. They even thought that she was cute, which was a lot for Sklyar to admit to. They were typical girls though, so it was to be expected. They didn't stay around long though whenever we came to Forks, but for different reasons; Abby because she had a wonderful, addicting smell to Jesse and Sklyar because she was a drama queen and knew how much it was upsetting to everyone when we fought.

JJ seemed troubled by Lleyna's leaving, but only because he felt like he was partially to blame for her deciding to go. He was the Beta so a lot of responsibility fell on him, but he felt like what had happened was best in everyone's interests.

Charlie was sad to see our sister go, but because of all of the drama before Lleyna left, she and Sophia became extremely close. The two were always by Jesse's side or off planning fun things to do with Jesse or shopping with Alice and Jasper for new clothes for Jesse. To be honest, the girls were completely smitten with the baby.

As for me, well I was too busy admiring Sari every day to notice my sister's absence much. Three months past, and though Jesse grew, all I could focus on was my beautiful imprint.

I wonder if this was how Jacob felt, but then realized that no one had ever experienced what Sari and I had. I trusted her more than anything and though I was still too young for her, I knew her love for me was intense already. Our bond was stronger than all of the other wolves' imprinting, but I may be a little biased.

We stayed on Forks ground more often than at La Push because although she was my imprint, she was hardly accepted by everyone in the Pack. She was a "blood sucker" to them and I hated to admit it, but her red tinted blue eyes weren't helping. She gave up the actual hunting of humans, but she craved their blood still so I would get Carlisle to supply her with blood bags.

Today, she was accompaning me on a hunt of my own. I rarely ever hunted this way, but Jacob suggested it as a way to try and bridge the gap between her meals and mine-hoping, I think, that the smell would be enough to entice her to switch "drinks." I doubted the effectiveness of the plan, but would obey it anyways.

I was in wolf form, so it was harder to keep track of her movements, but I didn't mind because I knew she was safe. I spotted my prey a few meters ahead and slowed my run as not to scare the poor buck. With my family constantly hunting on these grounds, the animals knew when to run.

I pounced when he turned his head in the other direction, taking him by surprise with my brute force. He was large, but his antlers were not fully grown, and surprisingly he didn't put up much of a fight. He went down easily, and when he was limp underneath my weight, I glanced around for my princess.

Sari was standing in the treeline, her face sparkling with amusement at my triump and joy for my victory just like any good imprint.

I motioned with my head for her to come closer and when she was within touching distance, I bit into the buck's neck. It ran down his neck slowly, completely defeating the dramatic effect I was going for. I sighed inwardly, staring at my imprint for a second before tearing off a piece of the meat.

It had always been easier for me to eat animals raw like this in wolf form than to phase back, so I didn't waste any time. When I had had my fill, I pushed the carcass away from me and looked up into the sun at my imprint.

Sari was staring at the animal in front of me curiously, her eyes zeroed in on the neck. I tilted my head to ask the question on my lips that I couldn't ask in this form.

That smell. Sari thought to me, her power no longer surprising me like it had done three months ago when I met her. It-it smells good. She thought in surprise, staring at the animal still.

I nudged her with my wet nose, ushering her to follow her instincts, and winced when she practically stumbled. She was usually stronger than I was, but in this strange confused state she was unbalanced. When she was inches from the blood she sought to drink, she looked back at me for support, her red-blue eyes scared.

I nodded my head and started pushing her again, though this time I was sure to be extremely gentle. She took one small sip, biting the buck's neck for only a moment or two, before she backed up with a frown on her face.

She climbed on my back instinctually like she had done for the past couple of months and tugged on my fur gently yet firmly. I took off running in the direction of the Main House, confused as to why she was so startled. I didn't bother to stop and ask though because what Sari wanted, I was obliged to obey.

She climbed off of my back and rested on the tree next to her, pulling my spare clothes out of her small backpack and placing them in my mouth. I looked at her worriedly, but she just shooed me farther into the woods to change while she headed inside.

I phased back as quickly as I could, and dressed in record time. I didn't bother fully putting on my shirt before I started walking inside, and had to tug it downwards as I entered the back door.

"Where'd she go?" I asked Charlie and Sophia, the only ones in the room.

"She couldn't do it." Charlie said, invading my imprint's mind. "She tried to pretend for you, but she just couldn't do it."

I smiled despite the setback-my imprint tried to drink animal blood for me-and that was the moment I fell in love.
