MTJA: Hey there. Sorry for the long absence but I had writer's block. I used to be DarkenedRoseThorn but I decided that I needed to make some changes and that included with my pen name. As you can tell, I'm back and am determined to finish this story.

Sorry that this isn't a long chapter but I'm trying to get back into the swing of things.

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or Twilight but I do own the plot.

"Talking"

Thoughts / wolf speech

wolf speech

Last Time on UtPwtP:

Sue sighed. "Probably to the pack about Leah's return, I would imagine" answered Sue. "And it is Sue, not Mrs. Clearwater, dear."

Leah froze. The pack will not be pleased with that; not pleased at all. It would only be a matter of time….

Seth P.O.V.

How dare she come back after walking out on them. They had no word from or about her for five years then she comes back out the of the blue like nothing was wrong. How could Mom accept her back right away? After all the nights that she cried herself to sleep because she was worried and missed her daughter.

Seth started to shake as his anger got out of control and before he knew it, he was standing on four legs instead of two. Fan-freaking-tastic. Just what I needed. Woah, Seth. What's with all the anger dude? Not now Embry. I'm not in the mood. Talking always helps Seth. You know that and you also know that you can't phase back until you're calm, so out with it. The wolf Seth sigh and shook his head. He knew that his friend was right but he didn't want to face the facts. If you won't talk about whatever got you into this state then show me. You're being worse that Paul when he's in one of his moods. I resent that, Embry. But you know that its true dude. Seth sighed again. Fine. Is anyone else transformed at the moment? Nope, just little ol' me. Now out with it, Clearwater. Seth focused his mind and called up the memory of Leah's arrival at his home. After Embry had a few minutes to process everything and still hadn't said anything about it, the younger wolf was getting concerned. Embry? Are you alright? LEAH'S BACK? Seth snarled in response to the loud thought. Sorry dude. But seriously, she came back? Who was the blond guy with her? Yes and I have no idea. You do know you're gonna have to tell Sam and the others right? Yeah, I know. Do you think I can borrow a pair of pants because I don't want to go back home get some. Sure, dude. Come on over then we can go meet up with the others.

After Embry gave Seth a pair of his pants, the pair of wolves headed to weekly wolf pack bonfire where the wolves, imprints and council were going to be meeting to catch up on matters and just relax. Seth wondered if Leah and the mystery man were going to be there because their mother was a member of the council. "Embry, Seth. About time the two of you got here." They looked over and saw that it was Sam who called out. "Sorry about that, Sam. Something came up." The pair exchanged looks before Seth continued. "Something everyone needs to know about." The effect that that one statement had was instantaneous as everyone sat up straight from their once relaxed positions. "Come over here Seth and tell us what's going on." The young wolf recognized the Alpha command hidden in the statement. He nodded his head and stood before the others as he took a deep breath. Catching Embry's eye, he felt a bit better once his friend smiled at him. Deciding it was best just to get it over with, he dove right in. "Leah's back and she's not alone."

Reactions were quite diverse to Seth's announcement. Some of them were opening and closing their mouths as they stared at him, others were shaking their head and refusing to believe what he said while others were whispering to each other about what her return could mean to the pack and the community as a whole. It was Sam's reaction that Seth was worried about the most because he seemed to have shut down once the words left the young wolf's lips. Emily seemed to notice too, once she got over the news of her cousin's return. "Sam? Are you alright, sweetheart?" The woman grabbed her husband's hand and squeezed it with hers. He lifted his head and met her gaze. The Alpha was about to say something when he noticed someone or rather someones standing at the edge of the bonfire. "Leah….."
