The Alpha's Bride—Jacob + OC

Jacob Black was forced into a position of power when he first started phasing. Now he's been an Alpha to the La Push wolf pack for almost twelve years, and almost everyone on the reservation are hoping that he'll get married and produce an heir to the wolf pack and to the tribe.

Almost everybody on the reservation (at least those "in the know") still believe that having an imprint (or even just a wife) is essential to continuing the legacy of the Quileute heritage. Jacob, on the other hand, is still suffering from having his heart broken by a woman who left him for a vampire. On one night, Jacob and all of the guys from the pack heads to Las Vegas to celebrate a bachelor party for one of his pack brothers. What he didn't expect was that he would end up getting married to a girl that he not only just met the first night...but who is also his imprint.

Sara Carnegie comes from a well-off family from New York, but made a move to Washington to study teaching and hoping to work with children with special needs. She went through a bad break-up, and immediately put her heart and soul into her studies. Her friends, however, wanted to take her to Vegas to get her mind off of everything and to live life. What Sara never expected was to marry a complete stranger, and wake up in bed with him the next morning.

Sara wants an annulment, but Jacob wants more time with his imprint. With reluctance, Sara agrees to take her classes online and move with Jacob to La Push to at least make their marriage work for the next six months of it.

Could Sara love Jacob for who he is, or will she run the moment she discovers the truth?

Chapter 6

Sara's POV

I never felt more nervous in my life until I came to Forks to spend some time with Jacob. Meeting his family has been one of my biggest fear since discovering that we're married when we were in Vegas. He wanted this marriage to work, and for us to at least live together, but because we hardly know each other, and we live four hours away from one another, we both agreed to wait it out and just spend a week in one hometown, and the next week in another until we come to a decision in making this marriage work (or at least seeing if there's a chance to make it work).

Meeting one of Jacob's sisters and her son was a bit intimidating at first, but I could see that Rachel was very sweet and caring. She reminded me of my mother almost; with her nurturing nature and all, but that's probably because she's a new mother now. Her son Nate is so cute, with his curly black hair and bright green eyes; oh I could eat him up.

I'm just kidding. Well, maybe.

Anyways, after I landed, we headed over to his friend's house to meet everyone else. Not sure why we weren't heading straight to his friends house instead of taking me to his place where I may end up spending the rest of my life there if this marriage actually works, but we did. When we finally pulled up in front of a beautiful, cozy house, the nerves came back again. "Sara?" He asked, causing me to look away from the house and into his beautiful hazel eyes. "You ready?"

Reluctantly, I nodded my head, as he came around and opened the door for me. Climbing out, I placed my hand in his, as we walked towards the door. Once it was opened, a woman with scars etched out down the side of her face stood on the other side, smiling at me. "You must be Sara. I'm Emily, it's so nice to finally meet the girl that finally caught Jacob by a whip."

Taking me in her arms, she held me there, as I looked behind her to see some other women and a lot of very tall guys...and one tall girl. It was really intimidating, that's for sure. Once she pulled away from me, Jacob came behind me, and I could feel the tension fade away instantly. It was odd, because this never happened when I was with Cole before. Jake had this surprisingly warm effect on me, and I didn't know why. "Everybody, this is my wife, Sara. Sara, this is everybody."

I guess my fear eased a bit, because a lot of his friends were actually pretty great. It amazed me by how welcomed they were to greet me, and the kids melted my heart. I learned that Emily and her husband, Sam Uley, have been married the longest compared to the other couples, already with two little boys and another baby on the way. Jared and Kim Cameron were second, already have a son and a daughter. Of course, there was Jacob's sister Rachel and her husband Paul Lahote, and then there was Jacob's friend Embry from Vegas, with his fiancee Heather.

Quil and Seth I also met in Vegas were very welcoming as well, and even Emily's niece Claire. The youngest guys out of all of them were Collin Littlesea and Brady Fuller, and though they are sweet, they were too busy playing video games. However, there was one person that still made me feel very nervous, and that was Seth's older sister, Leah Clearwater. She was tall, beautiful, and I felt a little jealous of her. I don't know why, but it was just that she seemed flawless and beautiful, and I am me. Looking at how Jacob and Leah interacted, I kept wondering if he's been with her before...and what happened.

"Leah's not interested in him."

Jumping a little, I looked to see Emily standing beside me, rubbing her growing belly absentmindedly. "Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you."

"Oh no, that's okay. I guess I should've been paying more attention. Sorry,"

"No, don't apologize. I can tell that you were nervous, so I wanted to assure you otherwise."

"Nervous? I'm not that nervous,"

Giving me a coy smile, she nudged my shoulder and said, "Don't worry about Leah and Jacob, there's never been anything between them. I would know, I'm her cousin."

"Oh,"

"Don't be embarrassed, Sara. Besides, I think Leah's happy with someone else. Grant it she never said anything yet, but she's happier now."

"Why hasn't she?"

Before Emily could say more, Jacob was already standing by my side, which also startled me. "You ready?"

"Ready for what?"

"To meet my dad."

"Your dad? Is he ready to meet me?"

Chuckling, Jacob pulled me by the hand and walked us out to his car. "You have no idea..."
