E.x

Two weeks and three days since I told Jake, since he held me in his arms and that was the thing, I didn't think about how everyone would know if he let it slip while on patrol, or how the leeches found me or where they were, all I could think about was his stupid warm arms, holding me like that. No one had ever held me like that, no one had ever cared like that, well besides my parent's that is. Jake hadn't acted different around me now that I had told him, sure I caught him watching me every now and then and he was a little more protective than usual but he still treated me like normal, teasing and fighting, laughing at me when I screwed something up or you know just the usual. I was currently at the Seattle supermarket (since it's the closest one with everything we need) with Emily, Sam, Jacob, Embry and Leah, we were having a dinner tonight at Ems and everyone was coming, the pack and the elders and all family members and friends.

"Hal, could you go get me some whipped cream, three cans please, it's aisle six I think" She asked as she searched the shelves.

"Sure" I smiled and began to turn.

"I'll go with her" Jake said and walked over to me. I raised an eyebrow up at him and he shrugged. I caught Leah smirking at us, wagging her eyebrows.

"Well Jake you can get two boxes of beer than while you're there" Emily smiled and he rolled his eyes.

"Sure, sure" He said and we began walking down the aisle, searching for the numbers to figure out where aisle six was.

"Tonight should be fun" I said, making conversation, we were being way to quiet, it was never like this with us. When I didn't get an answer I looked over at him only to see him glaring forward. I followed his glare and saw Bella and Edward at the top of the aisle, his arms were around her waist and he was kissing her neck as she focused on something on the shelves, giggling and swatting him away. I looked back and Jacob's jaw was set, his eyes filled with anger. Leah had told me the story about Jake, how he had been madly in love with Bella and had fought for her ever since she started dating Edward, apparently Edward left and they got really close, I mean practically dating and then Edward went suicidal and Bella saved him and took him back in seconds, even though Jake pretty much begged her, since I learned that she wasn't exactly in my top ten favourite people and I knew she still led Jake on. As we approached I grabbed Jake's hand and his eyes shot to our hands then to my face before going back to the hands, confused.

"Think about something other than her and him" I murmured and he nodded slowly, agreeing but unsure. I stepped up our pace, making sure my guard was up when I went past Edward who looked over, sensing us. He smiled down at me and nodded at Jake who nodded back.

"Halle, Jake, nice to see you" Edward said politely, making Bella turn towards us. Her eyes instantly fell down to our hands and I smiled, her face went hard and blank, as if she didn't care.

"Edward, Bella" I smiled and Jake was stiff beside me until I squeezed his fingers.

"We don't have to eat but Bella does" Edward said, looking over at Jacob.

"Just curious" Jake shrugged, annoyed by the fact Edward has read his mind I guess.

"So what are youse doing here" Bella asked, her arms folded across her chest.

"Just shopping, the guys sure eat a lot of food" I said, smiling over at her. She just glared at me but then her eyes kind of lit up.

"I heard about what happened to your parent's and those guys after you, must be pretty scary" Bella said and I blinked, shocked.

"What" I said, frowning.

"Oh Jake here told us, he came over the day after we called you and filled us in, don't worry, your protected" She smiled, kindly but I could see the smugness behind it as she caught me off guard. I pulled my hand out of Jake's and looked over at him.

"You told them" I said, hurt in my voice but feeling the anger bubble up inside me. He actually looked worried, like really worried.

"I only told them so they could keep a look out for you, they won't tell anyone and their getting information off the messengers that came, seeing if we can find the leeches location" He explained.

"Relax Halle, we won't tell anyone and even if it does get out, just think, you'll be more protected then, I'm sure the whole pack would be happy to jump in front of a bullet for you" She smirked and I shook my head.

"I need to go, Emily wants me to get some stuff, I'll see youse around" I said and walked off, barely acknowledging Edward who nodded at me and gave a small smile.

"That was uncalled for and you know it" I heard Jake snap as I turned the corner. My chest felt tight and I felt a wave of nausea pass over me but as quickly as it came the sickness was gone, now I just had a headache. I walked over to the fridge area and searched for the cream, why did there have to be so many different brands! I grabbed the three closest to me and spun around quickly, slamming into someone, which resulted in me dropping the cans and having to regain my balance. I looked up at the ass and froze. The blue eyes, the blonde hair, the dark skin.

"Jamie" I said and his eyes widened. No I have to be dreaming, Jamie is dead, the wolf I killed, killed him. I felt his heart stop beating, I heard his last breath.

"Halle, what the, what are you doing here" He said and I took a step back. He frowned, confused at the movement.

"You're dead" I whispered and understanding crossed his familiar features.

"I did but I came back, a guy found me, well a wolf and turns out he's friend's with a very powerful guy, he healed me, brought me back, I'm not dead Halle and I've been searching for you, the pack said you ran off" He said and I stared at him. He looked real, he sounded real, he smelled real.

"Jamie" I whispered again and he smiled which made me jump into his arms. He was real, my Jamie was alive, my pack brother, my friend was alive. We squeezed each other tightly, it had been over a year since I'd seen him, hell I did think he was dead so it was a major shock.

"Halle" I heard Jake's unsure voice from behind me and I pulled back, looking over my shoulder at him. I was still annoyed he told my secret but I guess it was a good move and with the concerned look on his face now I couldn't show my anger. I guess to him it would seem I was hugging a complete stranger.

"Jake, this is Jamie, an old friend of mine, a brother" I smiled back at Jamie and then looked back at Jake. "Jamie this is Jake, my alpha" I said and Jamie froze before walking over to Jake and shaking his hand.

"Thank god she found her place, I expected to find her a mess, I owe you one man" He said and Jake nodded, confused most likely. I was happy to see them accept each other by my account.

"Wait, Jaime what are you doing here, how did you get here" I asked and he checked around to make sure no one was in hearing distance before looking at me.

"The guy I told you about, he has two other pack members and we kind of travel around, he said we were heading towards Seattle for a while, or somewhere around here, La Pull maybe" He said trying to remember.

"La Push" me and Jake said at the same time.

"Yeah that's it" he said, recognition on his face. "Anyway we were stopping here to get some food and supplies and stuff" He said just as two other guys and a girl walked up. Both the boys had dark hair but one had blue eyes and one had hazel, the blue eyes guy was bigger so I was guessing this was the guy Jamie meant. He was very attractive, I mean girls would be gladly used as a door mat for him. The girl looked young, 16 maybe but she seemed strong, like she could put up a good fight and she was really pretty, blonde hair and green eyes.

"Jamie, I see you've found some friends" The blue eyed guy said, stepping just in front of the other two next to Jamie. He smiled over at me.

"This is Halle, the one I told you about" Jamie said excitedly and they all seemed to study me closer now, interest in their eyes. "And this is her alpha, Jake" He introduced. "Hal, Jake, this is Marcus, the guy who saved my life and the other two are his pack mates, Harlow and Dean" He continued and they all nodded.

"Nice to finally meet you, I have always wanted to meet the girl who took out another wolf in honour of my boy Jamie" Marcus stepped forward, smiling as he shook my hand. I studied him curiously, he seemed familiar and he gave me this weird feeling, like a warning, weird right?

"Halle, Jake, what's going on" Sam's voice questioned and we turned to see him, Emily and Embry standing there. I quickly made introductions and explained who Jamie was.

"We'd be pleasured to have you all over for dinner, there will be plenty for everyone and I know Halle won't mind staying at Jake's tonight if youse want to sleep in the spare room" Emily offered, she was amazing. I had recently been staying in Emily's spare room so I didn't annoy Leah and she had her cousin down from somewhere anyway.

"That sounds great, do you care if we do Marcus, I haven't seen Halle and a catch up is in need" Jamie asked, looking back at Marcus for confirmation. He nodded, watching me and Jamie smiled big.

"We'd love to join you, as long as were not too much of a burden" Marcus said, his eyes still on me but he was talking to Emily.

"Excellent" Emily said happily. "Oh and Leah had to take off, she said she'd meet you at home" Emily informed and I nodded.

"I'll run and show youse the way" I said and Jamie nodded. I looked back at Jake, wondering why he hadn't offered to go with me yet but he was watching Marcus, studying him, almost sizing him up. "Jake" I said getting his attention. He glanced down at me, an eyebrow raised. "Are you coming with me" I questioned and his eyes flicked to Marcus before going back to me.

"Embry can go with you, I've got to pick Dad and Sue up and bring them to Sam's , I'll just see you later" He said and I nodded, what is up with him, he usually jumps at a chance to phase without needing to patrol.

"Okay well we'll meet you at the house Hal" Sam said and they walked off.

"Wonder what's up with him" Embry murmured to me and I shrugged.

...

We were all out the back, sitting around a fire the boys had made. Jamie and I were sitting on a log next to the fire while he was explaining to me what had happened and to say I was surprised was an understatement. Apparently once we'd left he had been gone for a few hours when he was suddenly sucked back into his body, he opened his eyes to find Marcus and another strange guy next to him and both of them were smiling. Marcus's friend was believe it or not a healer, he was really powerful and did some sort of spell, bringing Jamie back to life and he was as good as new, he had been with Jamie ever since but searched for me, they ran into the old pack and Drew said I had run off to find some pointless shit and he was disappointed but searched for me everywhere they went, searched for my scent, he had found my scent in random places but it was old traces, from before I came to La Push. I told him about everything that had happened to me, about the alpha and family and I also told him that leeches were after me although not the reason why. He was concerned then and I waved it off as if it was nothing, I'd told him I could take on a few leeches. I changed the topic and told him how Drew and the others ambushed me and my pack mate Leah who was still yet to be seen. He was especially pissed about that one, even more because I had been hurt but he said he respected and approved of Jake and he was glad I found my place. Leah walked out the back then and I watched as Jamie looked up at her before freezing, Leah froze as well and it was like I saw the connection pass through their eyes...Leah and Jamie just imprinted. I met Jake's eyes when I looked around and he was smiling over at me, maybe even secretly thanking me, this would ease Leah's pain, her life was now complete.

"Who is that" Jamie breathed and I laughed.

"That is Leah Clearwater, my best friend and your future wife by the looks of it, Jamie you just imprinted" I said, happiness obvious in my voice. His eyes widened slightly and I saw Leah blush!, Leah actually blushed. Jamie got up and walked towards her before introducing himself...shyly. I would never understand how this imprinting thing works but right now, I was glad it existed, Leah and Jamie both deserve their happy endings more than anyone I know. Jake came and sat next to me, nudging me with his elbow to break me out of my happy gaze.

"Unexpected huh" he said, nodding towards the now talking imprints.

"Understatement" I laughed quietly and he rolled his eyes. "Leah deserves this, it' so perfect that it's them two, now I get to have two of my favourite people in the world with me forever" I shrugged and he laughed this time.

"What, I'm not one of your favourites" He faked an offended voice.

"Nah you're the favourite, their just favourites" I winked at him and we both laughed. Once our laughing stopped I met the eyes of Marcus who smiled at me with his perfect smile and came and sat on my other side.

"Jake, Halle" he nodded and I smiled at him.

"Marcus, having fun, I saw you talking to Sam before" I said, trying to make conversation.

"Yeah, I really like it here, we may even stay for a little while, Sam's a good guy, I like him" He shrugged, watching me closely. Intense stare was a better used word. "Also I wanted to let you know you don't have to be evicted, we have room for you if you'd prefer it here than at Jake's" He informed, sliding closer to me as if to not offend Emily's offer.

"Nah it's okay, I've stayed at Jake's before anyway, it's not so bad once you block out the snoring" I giggled and Marcus nodded, no humour in his eyes and he pulled on a smile. I felt Jake shift and then one of his strong arms were around my shoulders, making us close enough I could smell his woodsy scent, like a strong perfume but a good one.

"Were close anyway so it doesn't bother us either" Jake said, smiling smugly over at Marcus who I swear his eyes narrowed slightly but when I blinked they were normal, uncaring.

"I was just offering, no biggie" He shrugged before getting up. I went to turn and ask Jake what the hell that was about but he was already up and Emily and Leah collapsed on either side of me.

"I'd say someone was jealous of a certain new someone" Leah smirked, mimicking Jake's arm movement around my shoulders.

"Yeah I think Jake may have a crush" Emily smiled happily.

"And it's definitely not Bella" Sam added, squishing in next to Emily.

"Yeah, I think I'll leave you weirdoes now, especially the one who imprinted on my brother" I said, smirking over at Leah who blushed.

"Where are you going" Kim asked as I passed through the kitchen towards the back door.

"Just going for a run, don't panic, I'm gunna check over with the Cullen's , let them know to not attack any of our new visitors" I said, popping a grape in my mouth.

"Jake just left to do exactly that, I bet you five bucks he'll beat you and he's driving" Jared said from next to her.

"You're on, I'll be back for my five" I winked before running out and stripping down before phasing and taking off towards the Cullen's.

Could Jake really be jealous?.
