A/N: Hey guys sorry this one is kinda a short chapter but I'm working on the next one which is a bit lengthy. Until then, enjoy!
Billy POV Monday - June 30th
Since the disastrous cookout I did not get a chance to talk with Sue. The poor woman had been staying with Seth and Angela at the old Clearwater house after that night. Waiting for her to pick me up for our weekly meeting I hear the phone start to ring. Strolling back into the house just in case it's Sue calling I answer, "Hello, this is Billy speaking." I faintly hear a rustling when I suddenly get chills by the voice on the line. "Good Morning Chief Black, this is Carlisle Cullen, I was wondering if you had a moment to spare?" What the heck! Why is he calling? "I have a few minutes. What can I do for you Dr. Cullen?" There is a few seconds of silence before he continues, "I just needed to notify you that my family and I will be coming into town for awhile. We won't be living there for obvious reasons but certain circumstances have come about and this is our only option. I have been trying to avoid it but nothing can be done. I hope you understand?" Not really liking it but I have no choice to agree. "Very well, how soon should we be expecting you so I can let the Alpha know?" Sam and Jake are not going to like this especially since their imprints live in Forks but then again there is a new wolf on that territory now too. "We should be there within the next few days." Great sooner than we need. "I must caution you, there is a new family who just moved into town and they have a wolf among them. I hope this will not be a problem?" I hear a sigh, not sure if it's relief or worry though? "That won't be an issue. We will be sure to stay clear of any threats and Billy… Thank you." With that I hang up. Great see what happens when you answer the phone old man. The damn leeches are coming back now.
We were just about to end the meeting when Leah Clearwater walks in. It's not normal for her to show up unexpected but the look on her face says something is wrong. Sam sees the same distress on the woman's face and moves forward to question her. What ever information she's giving them, Jake and Paul look surprised whereas Sam looks relieved. "Leah, it'll be fine. It's not your fault in anyway okay. The both of you are wolves, the impulse is probably harder to control especially when it comes to mating." The girl looks close to tears, I wonder what happened. Sam steps forward when he starts speaking. Leah moves closer to his back hiding from our faces. "It seems that we have a new imprint to report. Leah, would you like to inform the council of your mate?" With her head down and tears running down her face she steps forth, "It happened a week ago. Last Tuesday to be exact. We've both been fighting it more so because of the position we would be putting ourselves in." What? Why would they want to fight the imprint? "Child, why are you fighting such a gift?" Looking up with disgust in her eyes she reacts with nothing less than yelling, "Because he's married! I thought he was happily married but from Saturday's melt down at Charlie's I got confused. He told Sam to pursue his wife? Why would he do that if he loves her so?" Wait the new wolf in town in her mate? Speaking up I am beyond curious, "Leah, why are you crying if he's okay with Sam and Elle being together? There is a such thing as divorce, who knows maybe they've spoken of the possibilities?" She still looks unsettled. "You don't get it. Last night we got drunk on moonshine, he… I didn't even realize what was happening and when we woke up. The look on his face, God, he looked so heartbroken! Like he made the biggest mistake in his life and I…" Understanding is all I can feel. She feels rejected again, unwanted by another man but this time the man is her actual imprint.
Joseff POV Monday - June 30th
After doing some necessary errands this morning I decided to catch up on some reading since no one else is gonna be home. I noticed how little Belle kept rubbing her chest when we were talking about the Deputy this morning. These symptoms sound like something I've read before I just can't put my finger on it. Walking over to our tribal journals that we salvaged before the massive fire, I grab the one that belonged to my great grandfather Ezra White. Reading passage after passage I finally come across something that Justin was mentioning to me before he proposed to Cassie. 'Imprinting'. I know that the girls were helping Justin find all of the secrets behind him becoming a spirit warrior and to be honest I thought it was kind of interesting. However, finding out that vampires exist that was different story. Cassie is another thing, at first I was freaked out but she eats like any regular human since she's a half breed. She does need a glass of blood at least once a month to keep up her strength for her super awesome abilities but other than that nothing more. Looking through the topic of imprinting, man I really must show Belle this. It explains all the things she's been going through lately.
Cassie POV Monday - June 30th
Phew, what a day! Thank goodness I have the agility to keep up with such long hours if not I probably would've passed out delivering those adorable Newton twins. I ended up reaching work at 8 in the morning, the poor woman had such bad contractions throughout the entire day and those precious angels didn't end up coming out till 7 in the evening. I'm finally headed home since both babies and mommy are sleeping peacefully. Walking into the house I hear my family down in the basement so I head up to my room to take a long needed shower. After washing up I make a quick plate of tonight's dinner and head down to see what their doing. "Hey guys." Sitting down in front of the fireplace next to Elle while Joey sits across from us with books scattered all over the coffee table. "How was it? Are the babies and Jess okay?" Always a loving heart our Elle, "Yes, the poor woman was in there for almost 10 hours, I think Mike passed out a few times from her squeezing his hand so hard." We all just chuckle at the picture in our heads. "So what are you guys doing and where's Justin? I didn't see him upstairs?" Joey picks up this really big book that looks pretty ancient, it's most likely older than me. "Imprinting." Elle and I both give him a clueless look before he starts his story. "Do you remember when you did those studies on our tribal history? The reason why Justin was turning into a wolf?" We both just nod, "So imprinting is something that Justin and I came across in one of my great grandfather's journal. It said that imprinting happens when a wolf finds their mate, their soul mate. It's like one look into her eyes and gravity itself no longer holds them to the earth but she does. He'll become anything she needs, a brother, a friend, a lover. The wolf wants to know that she's safe at all times, that she's protected. It's like your soul is no longer your own but it belongs to her as her does to you. When Justin told me about it it seemed like nothing too big but Belle, you are having the symptoms of an imprint." She looks doubtful until he goes on speaking, "I was reading one of the passages from an imprint. She recorded how hard it was to endure the pain of her mates distance, that she could barely eat or sleep let alone function. But this lady is human Belle whereas you're a little odd. Ow! Don't hit me, you know what I mean. Ever since your accident, you aren't just Belle anymore." I agree with what he's saying. It makes sense but then, Oh my God! This cannot be happening! So this means that Jacob Black is my SOUL MATE! Fuck, no wait, it said that he can also be my brother or friend. Okay, so I've been going through a similar issue as Elle but from her description of things mine isn't as intense. I guess maybe it has to do with my husband? I have Justin and I love him with everything that I have I wouldn't ever think of betraying him like that. Alright, I need to talk to this guy but maybe I should tell Justin first? No, talk to Mr. Black first and then my husband. I need them both to understand that my marriage will come first no matter what position I'm put in. Putting on a smile to hide my inner turmoil I focus on the conversation at hand.
A/N: So I hope you folks aren't too mad about how this is going down. As you can see Justin is Leah's mate just have patience with me the outcome will be a good one!
