Sorry I made you all wait so long for this. I was waiting for reviews. *cough hint cough* Sorry to my lovelies who reviewed for the wolves without shirts on.
Chapter 6: Revelations
Previously
Sam, I yelled in my head and a growl erupted from me. He looked up, startled at first but a look of determination overcame his face. He phased and crouched, ready to fight us.
Leah PoV:
A growl ripped its way through my teeth and Sam snarled back. The spell had been temporarily frozen when we had interrupted Sam and Embry plotted out his idea in his head to me.
Ok so run and find Jacob or someone and get help I'll stay here and distract him and hope he doesn't kill me.
Or we could… improvise, I thought to him as Sam leapt towards us. He scattered off and Sam collided with me. We rolled around, limbs flailing and teeth snapping. He had the advantage, being the bigger wolf and I mentally prayed for help.
Embry, get rid of the stuff!
Every once and a while, I caught sight of Embry working. I watched him toss aside the cup of water and rip the candle into shreds. The ice was tossed into a tree where it shattered with the impact. I sighed thankfully as Embry dragged his paw across the lines of the star, reversing the spell. My ghost- I mean Taha Aki- was returning to his form slowly.
Jacob, Quil and Seth burst into the woods beside us, and Jared and Collin were behind them, attracted to the fight. They all hurried to pull Sam off of me and I watched the precious Alpha Protector phase to human, panting after our fight.
I stayed in my wolf form, watching Sam warily. Jacob pulled my memories from my head about the fight and yelped at my pain of losing my imprint, growled with my rage and mentally cheered me on.
Jared and Collin were watching it from the memories they pulled out of Sam's head before he phased. It was affecting Jared more, who had Kim and would understand my pain, having imprinted himself. Jacob morphed back into his human form and hurriedly pulled his shorts back on. Unfortunately, I caught an eyeful more than I needed.
"Leah," he motioned to me to phase back, but I shook my head stubbornly. He repeated my name in a tone that was leaning towards Alpha so I mentally sighed and changed back into my human.
"Jacob, please let me kill him," I said in my polite voice.
He shook his head and said, "No we need to talk to him. Find out what he was doing, why, and then we can punish him."
"Jacob…" I said in a serious tone, "A few more scars and bites won't kill him."
He rolled his eyes and said, "They might not, but you will."
I stalked off angrily, I wasn't going to get anywhere with that. The other wolves were gathering around and I could swear I smelled the Cullens around too- the mommy leech and her biggest son, I think. Maybe the blond one who messed with our feelings, too, considering Sam wasn't dead. All the wolves were gathered around Jacob, and Embry and Seth had Sam pinned down. I was fairly certain they weren't being gentle. Paul phased angrily and yelled "What's this, Jacob? Turning against the other pack so you can take control?"
Jared came forward slowly. His chest was heaving and there was sweat running down it, which confused me, he hadn't done anything. But Jacob was definitely breathing harder. His torso was tensed and he was watching warily.
"It wasn't Jake, Paul. Sam tried to knock off Leah's imprint. Leah and Embry fought Sam and then Jake and I got here."
Paul looked stunned-all of the wolves did. There were 19 of us now and all were in human form except Sam, Embry and Seth. Jacob ran his hand through his hair, completely stressed out. Taha Aki, my Taha Aki was standing behind him, unsure what to do. I walked over to him and stood next to his ghostly form, not leaning into him, but holding myself up and looking into his eyes.
The gesture was enough. Seth tore a full chunk out of Sam's shoulder and Embry pulled his claws down Sam's back. The filthy traitor, I mean, precious Alpha, was watching the ground and not fighting back.
Since I don't think anyone reads my author notes, I'm throwing this in here. Review and I will love you forever! Ok thank you! Back to the story.
Taha Aki spoke now; I think my presence comforted him. "He startled me. I was searching for my past body, which is preserved around here somewhere, and he had been following me without my knowledge. I don't have a wolf's sense of smell anymore. He drew the star and I was frozen. He was using an old spell that required the five elements to "renew" the air and cast out the old and the dead."
Sam seemed to be shrinking down into the ground, as if to hide-and then I realized he was shrinking. He wasn't as big as Jacob anymore, or even me. I laughed when it hit me. He had broken a code of the pack, and thus become the Omega, the runt and weakling of the pack. What a lovely punishment.
Then I looked up at Taha Aki. "Why were you searching for your body?"
"I believed that the legend I used for your body could have been used to restore my spirit life to my material form. I remembered the spot where my body was left and I had it preserved in its spot. I thought if I found it I would have been able to spend forever with you, Leah."
My heart melted at his last sentence, while the rest of his words hit me like a train. "Where was it?"
"A cave in the woods" he told me.
"Can you keep up with me?" I asked and he nodded. Time to go, I thought and I bolted.
My love, here I come.
I'm sorry it took me so long to post. I had school and other distractions, like my parents very messy divorce. And mirrors. ;) Anyways, here it is. You know the drill, 7 reviews, your werewolves with no shirts. This was my first chappie like that so it might be bad, but I'll practice. Review if you want to find out what happens to Leah and Taha Aki and how Sam is punished. Love, you readers.
