Chapter 41 The Tribe Is Throne in a Up Roar

Sam POV

I was burning up thanks to Jakes reaction to the Uley, Black power struggle so these leeches were going done, there is no doubt about in my mind. I just had to hope that they weren't going to go after the imprints while we were fighting. "Jared help the push defend the imprints. Kimmy get your ass over here."

I could hear her scoff under her breath but this time it wasn't a don't tell me what to do scoff. More of a duh what did you think that I was going to sit on the sidelines kind of scoff. I smirked it was good that we weren't at odds anymore, it would make this fight all the more enjoyable I could hear the ripping off my clothes as my body exploded.

I could hear Paul angry and jumbled thought as images of the story replayed in my mind. "How could we be so stupid, I told you that this bonfire was stupid there should have been someone running patrol, not out here with a bunch of stupid old men.-Paul" I didn't like the way that he said it, he was being annoying and I thought our fight had settled all of this civil unrest.

He snarled at me as my paw sunk further into the ground as the blurbs of white came closer. The stone figures seemed to loom over us like they thought they were better than us and that only added fuel to fire. "I'm not challenging you Sam, I am speaking my opinion I am allowed to do that right. Or has that right be taken away from me to. I'm the best tactical fighter we have you should have at least run it by me.-Paul" I could feel Kimmy rolling her eyes as she ran faster, like we were just children bickering over nothing. .

Her excitement and pride rolled over me as she lunged wildly into the air landing with a perfect thud on on o the leeches. Their screams echoed into the air as her jaws sunk deep into their marble flesh.I charged after her with Paul to my right when there was a blur of white in the corner of my eyes. The hair on the back of my neck stood up as a steel like a grip shattered the bone in my neck dragging me to the ground.

"Get your undead hands off of him-Paul" I saw flashes of white and silver as Paul fangs sink deep in a thick white hand that had flashed into my mind. The whimpering sound of a wound animal drift into the air as pure rage unlike anything I had felt hit me. Was this how he felt all the time?

I shook off that scary thought before rising slowly looking at the leeches as more shadowy figures drifted in and out of the trees. There had to at least be 20 of them i not more there was no way that the three of us could take them all on. "Wow your faith in us is overwhelming Sam.-Kimmy." I looked up to seer at her but she had already taken down those of those piece of shits so there was some hope. That was till I heard the angry bellow of one of the leeches, I guess they must have been the leader of something. "What is that thing doing here?" I didn't bother to see who they outrage to see, I jumped on her.

My hunches and bag legs tenses as I fled her down my fangs bared icnehs form her thoart as her fiery red gaze looked at me. Unafraid like she was going to get out of it, her pale skin seem to shine in the early moonlight. But she seemed way to clam I didn't like it, I claimed my jaws down, letting my teeth sink deep into her throat. The disgusting taste of ash and decay fill my mouth as she screams out in pain. "Don't just stand there help me." I could feel the hair on the back of my neck standing up as I heard this shifting sound.

There was most likely a leech behind me but I knew that my pack, has my pack so I didn't even bother to turn around. I just keeps close my teeth around her throat till I felt the cracking sensation in her head rolled limply down the incline. "Dear I know that you know that we have your back but you shouldn't be so reckless-Mom" I reared my head back to see that my mother had a 6'5 male leech under her hind legs as she swiped her claws powerfully against the leeches neck. His head bouncing off his neck as another vamp came barrelling towards us.

"The both of you need to be more focused look at Paul he hasn't taken his eyes off of the prize-Dad." I heard Paul snort like it was obvious that he was better at me. "Cause I am Sammy its okay for you to feel self conscious.-Paul." I snarled at his smug tone as I went to lunge for him. "Boys!-Mom" I knew that I should stop and that we were both acting like children but Paul snort "Not like you could take me in a fair fight anyway. -Paul"

I growled heavily and went to charge him, with him coming right back at me. But dad stepped in between the two of us. Not saying a word just giving us that knock it off before you get your ass kicked look. I sighed before turning to look at Kimmy who, had no mercy, she was shifting between her human and wolf from kicking ass without remorse. Something she no doubt learned from Paul and all their training session.

I didn't have time for this I charged into the fray with Paul and Kimmy to my right but our my parents were leading the charge. They had been doing this a little bit longer then us so that made sense. "Are you kidding me,they are older than dirt a little bit is a understatement.-Paul." I hear Kimmy laughing at Paul, as mom and dad both snapped at him. "Your not funny paul-Mom" Paul snickered before running through the line snapping his whipped his body at anything he saw like a perfect killing machine. He could take down 3 at a time while dad was taking down 5 at a time.

They are something else and it took a lot for me to not just stop and gawk at them. By the time that the fight was over we counted 30 bodies that we had to set on fire. Dad and mom shifted back this smug look on their faces, when they both shift with their clothes still on. I sigh and shifted tugging on my shirt before I broke into a jog over to Emily.

Kissing her temple gentle, her tense body sense to easily almost instantly, she snuggled further into me, hiding her fearful gaze. This stillness washed over both of us as I felt her relax now that the threat was gone. When I looked over to Jared he was holding a wide eyes Kim. She was hiding her face in the crook of his neck like she was too afraid to look at the burying bodies on the beach. She wasn't used to seeing this she was still relatively new to being a imprint and even newer to seeing how ugly the world really is.

"Your a idiot you shouldn't have even fought, Jared should have went, you fucking idiot." I heard Bella's angry voice causing both our parent to burst out into thunderous laughter. I looked over to Paul to see him sighing as Bella hit him over and over again in the head. "I mean really you, get your ass handed to you in the parking lot. What were you thinking, just because you are all fired up,doesn't mean you should go get yourself killed. Honestly for someone that is supposed to be a genus you do some stupid shit."

I smirked their relationship was different but in a good way despite what Emily thinks about it. I looked at my parent both of them seemed to prefer Bella over Emily. Which I could understand Bella knew the real world was messy and at time, you just have to get shit done with your own grit and not expect other people to save you. She was bad ass like that.

I smile at her it was a shame that she has to go through this, that was 2 vamp attacks in one day for her. I watched her stumble back in pain no doubt from either her foot or head. Paul caught her with ease but that only earned him another punch to the head.

"I'm not..." She shut her mouth like she was trying to censor herself.I looked down at Emily who was stealing hiding her face in my chest and I understood why Bella stopped herself. She wanted to say that she isn't Emily she doesn't need Paul help. I sighed heavily that girl. I shook my head sadly as I frowned at her. "I thought you were turning a new leaf."

Bella's eyes lit up to challenge me, her and Paul lived for that shit and I just don't know why. "I can only curb my temper by so much Sam, you see what I had to deal with." I laughed,nodding my head as my parents both took in a deep breath. "They shouldn't have been able to get on our land that easily who was on patrol."

I tried to hide my nervous all the question I decided that there was going to be no patrols tonight .So that meant that I Was going to be lecture on how a alpha should act I had been a wolf for more than 3 years. I knew the risk of not running patrol and I did it anyway.

"I was, but I knew to the pack, true I have been a wolf for 2 years. The whole having responsibilities thighs and protecting the tribe is rather new to me. I'm used to being a lone wolf, sorry about that, the attack is on me, I am just so glad that no one got hurt."

Kimmy gave me this sly grin like I owed her for taking the blame and she was right that save me a lot of Samuels and embarrassing lectures. Mom looked at her angrily like she just lost some respect for her but dad seem convinced he knew that she was lying for me. "Well the council said that they need to see all of us. Oh and one more thing. Bella, Paul, Kimmy they rather you didn't go. Something about you begin rude,disrespectful, arrogant." Paul snorted and Bella glared at my mother like she thought that she believed the on the other hand seemed delighted to back out. But she facked a pout and a dissapoinetd voice. "Darn I was so looking forward to that meeting. Well if that is all I'm going to go get wasted later."

Paul smirked like that was the best idea he had hear all day, his face lit up with a wild grin as he looked over to Bella. Not saying a word but she gave him this light nod as the three of them were about to walk off fo the beach. "Is it cool if I head down to Phoenix with Bella for the week with her..."

He didn't need to finish he was talking about going with Bella to see her mother, it would have been the one year anniversary starting tomorrow.I knew that they would be flying out of here tomorrow either way but I know that if it was my mother I would want Em to go with it's not like Bella can't live without someone watching her back. "Yeah that is fine."

He grin a little bit wider before running off with Bella in his arms and Kimmy in toe, they were lucky that they didn't have to go to this bullshit meeting. Mom sighed and looked at Jake her eyes turning a gentle light brown for a moment boefer nodding her head to me. "Get them there I have to go run patrol, since no one else seems interested. Daniel are you coming." I looked at my dad and he smirked and nodded his head. "Be there in a sec." She nodded and phased in the middle of the beach not caring who saw her. But with her black fur I doubt they would be able to make her shape out anyway.

Dad looked at me this amused twinkle in his eyes not speaking till he was sure that mom was out of hearing distance. "Next time you have council meeting remember that the vampires don't care what you are doing. They will still hunt down our people and kill them, now I gotta to go." I nodded my head grateful that he didn't say anything in front of mom. I sighed and looked at the pack jerking my head toward the parking lot. "Alright let's get this over with.

Once we got to clearwater house I noticed her, her hair seem to have gotten lower down to the middle of her back. She still had these amazing wild brown eyes that had a way of holding people. She seemed to have gotten taller and a little bit buffer but she was still as groues. Scapering behind her was Seath, he was ganguly but definitely taller maybe they would shift soon

My breath seems to get caught in my chest as she glare at me, hate, rage and love burned in her eyes like a info. But the hate cut through me like a knife, even from the car I could smell the intense waves of her hate and anger rolling over me. "Great" I go out of my jeep with Jake and Embry behind. Emily didn't get out of the yet she seems terrified, she would move, but her guilt was clear,she still felt bad for the way that things went between her and Leah.

I interlace our finger gently tugging her out of the car as I turned back to see Jared jumping of his motorcycle with Kim clinging tightly to his side. I could tell that she was still shaken up seeing us fight those vampires. The same one that had come there to kill all of us. I took in a deep breath I'm sure that they were both still worried about the elder finding out that they were not marked.

I didn't know if they would figure it out but I do know they couldn't forced Jared and Paul to do something that they weren't ready fro. I shook my head sadly as I made my way into the house slowly unsure if I should cut my losses and run before Leah came back. But I steeled my nerves as I was met with the sight of the council.

Harry and his wife along with old man Quil shifted her gaze to each of us. But I know that Quills gaze stayed the longer on Embry. I could tell that Bellas words to him were still hunting. I'm sure that they didn't want my father here and that became even more clear when they started without him.

"30 vampires, that was how many you killed right." I nod my head how could they have known that number, did mom or dad tell me. But if that were the case why couldn't at least one of them come to the meeting.

He sighed heavily before crossing a name off a piece of paper that he had on the table, "After you father did what he did, we came back here and compiled a list of every coven of vampires in a 100 mile radius of Forks. The coven you just killed seemed to be the DC coven. It seems every bloodsucker from all over Washington is coming to team up with the coven in Seattle. If this list is right then there are a total of 200 vampires not including the Seattle coven coming for you. How many people would have or phase for you to beat those odds."

I sighed and leaned against the wall pulling Emily a little closer to me, her aunt giving me a weak smile as Harry looked me over critically. I guess since my brother and his mate pissted him off, and then my father snapped at him,that meant all Uleys were on his shit list. But the mention of 200 vampires snet my world into a tailspin and my mind racing with possibility. When it came out probability Paul was better with that then me. Not ot mention that he was a great in combat and had amazing battle awareness. We were both really good tection so it would have been better to have him here to think this through with me.

"Well my parents took on twice that with just the two of them, so I think that them plus the 6 of us and the 7 Cullens might give us a fighting chance. But if Quil, Seth, and Leah were to shift that would give us a better shot at winning this fight. Then it would fighting for of 17 agonist 200. If 2 could defeat 400 I think 17 can beat 200 as long as the wolves are poorly trained before the winter solstice and our teamwork improves, but that would be hard to do while also patrolling"

I frowned as my thought became a jumbled mess. If me and Jared trained Embry and Jake. Then with Seth and Leah turned Kimmy and Paul could train them. Give them a crash course on tracking and hunting. But even then would that be enough to win this fight or would things get complicated.

What if Leah decided that she didn't want to take order then things would make the team dynamic that much harder to work on. Damn, this was way too much to think about on this little energy and sleep. "Sam?" I looked up at Jared pulled his hand away from my face. "Sorry I got lost in thoughts."

I looked up to see that Harry and Quil were frowning at me but his wife was smile gently at me this amused twinkle in her eyes. "Don't plan too far ahead Sam you will give yourself a headache." I smiled she was still so nice to me even after everything that i had done to her daughter. I didn't deserve her kindness. I smile and nod my head before shifting to look at Harry. "Well is it doable Sam or should we start getting ready to leave." I scoffed he had to be kidding me.

"Maybe you can leave but my family has been living and dying her since the being, I'm not going anywhere if I have to fight by myself, then that's what I will do. The Uleys have also beat the odd, without the help of the Blacks or the Ateria. If they can do it,we can,run if you want, but I'm staying here. I'll protect you while you hide away in your ivory tower." I glared the bag of wrinkle. They were good for thing coward and I wanted or no part in that they made my skin crawl. I stormed out the house not waiting another moment, I could hear the pack walking out with me.

Once I had drop my brother and Embry off I stared blankly at the moon as my jeep moved effortlessly over the uneven dirt roads. I tok in a deep breath holding it before shifting my vision from the moon to Emily who was glaring at me. Her point grey eyes clouded over with worry. "What is wrong with you." I shook my head nothing was wrong, what could possibly be fucking wrong. I took in a deep breath trying to keep myself calm as I spoke to her with a tense smile on my face. "Nothing just eager to get this night over with and start my life with you."

She grinned at me as I effortlessly hid my anger from her, I knew that she could feel it but she had no clue that it was for her. I took in a deep breath as I pulled up to her cottage collapsing in the bed. Tomorrow I was moving in and that would be the start of my new life with was going to be a long week and without Paul we are down one shifter.

1 week later

"Sam get up, there is some shit going down." I groaned as Jared's paint and rust voice rang from the bottom of the stairs. I had pulled a double shift at the station the vampire attacks were getting more frequent in both Fork and Seattle. That and I rna patrol last night was it so much for me to get a breath. I rolled onto my back expecting it feel Emily by my side but there was nothing but a cold stop.

I could hear whimpering come from the stress that I just knew was Emily so I hopped out of the bad and ran down the sitars. The pain and grief waft off of Emily as a strong with blew through the front was shaking and her nose was a bright red like she had been crying all morning and couldn't bother to wake me. This bone crushing pain ran over me as I pulled Emily into my arming. Rubbing soothing circles into her back.

"Baby whats wrong?" That must have been the magic word because, she started to cry even more as I held her close to my chest. I couldn't take seeing her like this ti was heartbreaking but as I looked up at Jared I could see his eyes were wet with unshed tears. "There was a attack a few vampires made there way past out defense. Harry and a few other were killed. They all die the same way that Billy did. Leah and Seth were there to see Harry die, they phased from the shock."

His word hung there in the air as this cold sense of dread washed over me, how could any of this happened. For a minute I was frozen in shock but my brain kicked into high gear as I pulled a recently Emily from my chest.

"Baby I got to go, but I will be back, I swear it." I look at her, her eyes begged me not to stay and all she needed to do was say the words and I would. But instead she simply nodded her head and pulled away from me.

. I kissed her temple gently before rushing out of the house, she shouldn't have to deal with this, it shouldn't have happened. A fucking week of no attacks then this happens, who was on patrol how did this happen someone was to blame.

I phase only to be met by frantic thoughts that didn't belong to me, images of wolves snarling and growling filter into my mind as I noticed a small white wolf with silver highlights glaring at me with her glowing red eyes. Next ot her was a wolf cowering in fear from the other, has bright red eyes and sandy brown fur stuck out in the bright morning sun.

"Leah, Seth I know that the two of you have been through an ordeal but the both of you need to calm down-Leah" I let my voice boom with an alpha command and it seems to work for the most part, neither of them were freaking out any more. Instead I was met with Leah burning hatred that force a scare whimper to leave Seth.

"You asshole it bad enough that you are fucking my cousin, now you in my mind, get out-Leah." She snarled wildly at me as a golden fur and thundering paws flashed in my mind. Great Kimmy was here wasn't that great. "Hey calm down you psychotic bitch this isn't Sams fault-Kimmy"

I sighed "Kimmy that isn't helping-Me" I watched as her golden eyes looked me over for a moment confused on why I was yelling at her. But her confusion disappear quickly as her lips curled over her canines as she snarled at Leah. "Shut up you bitch-Leah" I could hear Seth whimpering the poor kid just watched his dad died now he has to deal with this shit.

Kimmy went to charge Leah, pawing at the dirt as Leah scoffed and stalked closer to her just within hitting distance when a blur of silver flashed in all of our as standing between the two of him, his red gaze meeting Leah's harsh and unforgiving gaze.

"When did your flight land -Kimmy" I looked at her that's what she wanted to talk about. "10 minutes ago, the moment that I felt Lee shift I came here .Hey lee-lee, I know it you are pisted but could you calm down so that we can talk.-Paul."

His voice was so gentle as he spoke to her I didn't think that he could be that gentle with anyone but Bella. Paul and Leah both snapped at me but she went back to looking at Paul. But I could tell just seeing Paul was enough to calm her down, "This is why you stopped talking to me-Leah." Paul moved closer gently rubbing his neck against hers as he sent calming waves over the whole hive mind.

"Yup, well until l fucked up with the Bella and Jake thing. Can you turn back to human so we can discuss the rationally.-Paul." She looked at me as Seth moved from his little cowering spot over to me. He is so tiny, he walked over to me his head bowed in submission. "Hey Sammy-Seth I smirked at him and rubbed my head against his to tell him that it was okay..

"Alright just think of a happy memory and you'll turned back, Bella has clothes for the both of you- Paul." I glared at him he didn't bring her in this forest with vampires on the loose. "Yes I did, keep your judgements to yourself big bro.-Paul."

I shook my head slightly but watched as a memory of Paul and Leah at a fair in Seattle played through her mind. He was holding on the Ferris wheel as she broke down. Telling him about me breaking up with her for Emily. Then her mind was gone from mine, this was going to be a long day.
