Sam knocked on Billy's front door and let out a sigh as Jacob opened the door looking furious. He nodded at Sam as he made his way inside the red little cottage. Billy gave Sam a soft smile as he entered the house and took a seat on the couch.
"Look Jake just hear me out before you rip my head off please", Jake nodded and huffed as he sat on the other lounge waiting for Sam to speak.
"Tonight while we were patrolling I was keeping an eye on the Forks kids at the bonfire and Quil, well mainly Quil" Sam rolled his eyes as he thought of how often Quil caused trouble with the ladies, he gave a slight chuckle as Billy met his eyes knowingly with a smile.
"Anyway things got out of hand quickly, I blocked out most of what was happening and when I told you to grab Paul I promised I would explain later, well the issue was Mel.." Sam muttered out the last word.
"What do you mean the issue was Mel, fuck Sam, why can no one treat her like Emily or Kim or Bella" Jake shouted.
"Jacob sit your ass down and listen to me, It's Mel and I'm sorry, but Jake she has no idea what it means to be an imprint, hell she has no respect for our rules, she complains whenever you need to patrol and finally she hates Bella, she called her a slut tonight and slut-shamed her Jake" Sam spoke softly.
Jake let out a big breath "I don't know what to do Sam, I can't lose Bella and I don't want to hurt her, I've tried explaining to Mel how everything works, I've tried to get her together with Emily and Kim, she just won't. Why do I have such a shit imprint bond, I know the guys have had enough, hell even Quil doesn't make jokes like he does with the other girls and it's Quil! ".
"Jake I don't know but all I know is that this ,well this isn't working, I don't want to have her not coming to things, but we're at that point now, she is causing too many problems, fuck Leah almost killed her and that Lauren girl tonight and it's Leah, she usually doesn't give a shit about anyone". Sam got up and headed for the door.
"Wait, Sam, now I mean no disrespect to Mel, but what if Jake's imprint isn't a true imprint, he is, after all, going to be Alpha and Chief, surely his imprint would be strong and a leader to match with Jake?". Billy spoke softly. Sam turned to face him and thought over his words. "Honestly at this point, I would agree with you, maybe speak to old Quil and see what you can find, I'm sorry Jake but you can barely stand your imprint let alone the pack or imprints, there must be a reason why".
Sam patted him on the back and made his way out of the small cottage, heading straight home to Emily. Sam made his way inside his home and instantly wrapped his arms around his wife tightly kissing her neck.
"Hey babe you ok," Emily asked as she ran her hands over his arms holding him tight.
"I am now Em" Sam pulled Emily's lips to his and kissed her passionately.
"We'll sort all this Mel stuff soon, we just have to be there for Bella, she's had a rough night and I don't think she has much left in Forks accept for Charlie, I have a feeling we're going to be seeing more of her on the rez soon" Sam smiled at how excited Emily got.
"Sam they're perfect for each other, I'm so happy they found each other. I really love her Sam she has so much to give, she's just like a sister to me". Sam nodded in agreement with his wife, he knew Emily adored Bella, she had brought out the confidence inside his shy wife and he thanked Bella for that.
As Sam and Emily sat and ate their dinner, he thought over the night's events and prayed that things would get easier and hoped that Billy and Old Quil could find a reason why Jacobs imprint just wasn't working for him and the pack. He chuckled as he thought about Lauren and Mel and their bloody noses, he would have to remember to thank Leah for doing what they all wished they could do.
