Leah's point of view

I understand, I finally understand why Jacob wanted me to be here, why he insisted so much to me to stay here. I didn't want to see it before, I didn't want to accept it, but know I realized that Sam and Emily are going to stay together forever. I have always know that breaking an imprint bond is impossible, but a little part of myself always thought that a miracle was going to happen and that everything was going to be like it used to be, somehow Sam was going to return to me, but that is not going to happen, and it took me all this time to realize it.

I have heard how everyone talks about them; how perfect they look together, how they deserve each other and how destiny made the right decision in putting them together. I have seen how they act towards each other; how he acts like a gentleman with her, how she worries whenever he is out and how she calms him down just by putting a hand on his shoulder. It just takes one look at them to know that they are madly in love, how didn't I see it before? Maybe I didn't want to see it, because accepting this means that I wasn't right, that I didn't win and that once again, I am alone.

Yes, I know I still have my family and the pack, but is wrong to wish for something else? I want someone to hug, someone I can always count on, someone to love. Last night I dreamt with a guy, don't ask me who was it, because I don't remember his face. Anyway, we were lying on the grass and I put my head on his shoulder and he surrounded my waist with his arm, it felt so good! I just want to be love by someone. Why does that seem so impossible for someone like me? It's because I am a freak? I wish someone could answer me that.

I still don't understand why Sam chose Emily over me or why destiny decided he was supposed to imprint her and not me, but it's time for me to accept it. One part of me will always love him, but I have to improve my attitude and move on.

I was in the middle of my epiphany when some guy decided to climb to the roof and interrupted me. He asked for Emily and I told him she was probably spending her time with Sam. Then he asked me if I was going to jump and I wanted to push him of the roof, but I just decided I want to improve my attitude, so I just asked him why would he care? He stood there looking like a fool and didn't answer.

"Are you feeling ok?" I asked him after a moment.

"Sorry, what?"

"Did you drink too much or something?"

"What? No! I just feel a little dizzy," he said and I raised my eyebrows. "Is not what you think, I can't even get drunk."

"Ok," I turned around to keep looking at the stars and I felt his presence behind me. "What?"

"Do you… do you mind if I stay?" he asked me scratching his head.

Why didn't he come before I decided to make a change of attitude? Why? Breathe deeply, you can do this, it can't be so bad…

"Not at all," I said and before I knew it he had sat beside me. What on earth did I do to deserve this?

"Pretty night, isn't it?" he commented looking at the stars.

"Yeah."

"They have quite a big party down there."

"They do."

"Don't you want to go downstairs?"

"No."

"Aren't you cold?"

"No."

"Aren't you hungry?"

"No."

"Are you going to tell me your name?"

"No."

"Oh."

"I don't speak with strangers," I said trying to get rid of him.

"But you are already talking to me," dammit, he has a point there.

"Leah Clearwater," I said smiling on the inside; my name has a big reputation; everyone knows what happened between me and Sam, so he is probably going to leave when he realizes who he is talking to.

"That's a cute name, I am Neal White," he said extending his hand to me and I shook it surprised; hasn't he heard about me?

"I think I have seen you before, you are Lina's brother, right?"

"Yes, Lina's older brother actually," he commented. "So what brings you to Neah Bay Leah?"

"Ah… the wedding?" Ok, I think he really drank a lot, although he doesn't look drunk and he doesn't smell like alcohol, maybe he is just and idiot.

"Someone is getting married? Who?"

"Sam Uley and Emily Young."

"Oh! Emily! Emily is getting married? Shit, Emily is getting married," he stood up with a horrified expression.

"Is something wrong?" this guy is really scaring me now. "You are not going to jump, are you?" I asked when I saw him looking down. "Do you want me to take you home or something?"

"No, thanks," he said relaxing a little bit when he heard my voice. "I just realized something; I just did the most stupid thing ever."

"O-K. I really think we should go downstairs now," I said standing up too.

"Yeah, that's a good idea, I need to go home and think about this, I am really confused, but I'll see you tomorrow, right?"

"Sure," I said without even thinking, all I wanted to do was to take the guy to a safe place before he hurt himself.

"See you tomorrow then."

"No!"

Before I could do something Neal had already jumped down the roof. This is a three floor house, he probably broke his arm or something; everyone is going to kill me! I looked down praying that he wasn't dead, but it was so dark that I couldn't see anything. There was no one around so I jumped down and I started to look for him.

"Neal? Neal are you ok? Please say something," no one answered me.

The fact that I couldn't smell blood around was a positive thing, but where on earth was him? It's like he decided to disappear or something. I started to get worried, I mean, a human is not able to do things like this…

"Sam!"

Sam's point of view

A cold shiver went down my spine when I heard Leah's voice calling me; she never calls for help, never. I looked at Emily who was talking with her parents, I knew something was wrong with her, but she said she was going to tell me later. Apparently normal humans can't hear Leah's voice, but Paul and Jared were looking at me expectantly and I made them a sign to follow me. We surrounded the house to reach the back yard and we found Leah a few meters away were the forest begins.

"Leah what happened?" I asked her immediately.

"He is one of them."

"What?"

"Neal White, he is a werewolf."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes! He jumped from the roof and then he disappeared in the forest, he went that way," she said pointing east.

"Paul and Jared chase him and tell me if you see anything strange, do not attack unless it is really necessary," I ordered them and they immediately shifted before starting to run east.

"I want to go too!" Leah said starting to walk away.

"I need you to stay here and help me to take care of the imprints, from all we know any of the guests could be one of them."

She obeyed, but from the look on her face I can tell she didn't like the idea. We walked towards the house and when the girls saw us we assured them nothing was wrong and we all got back to the party. Well, all except Leah.

I know this whole wedding thing is really tough for her and I don't really understand why she accepted to be the maid of honor, I think this is some kind of sign that says 'I move on with my life' or something like that. I am really proud of her, but a little part of me doesn't like the idea of losing her. She was my first love, the first and only girl that I have loved just by the way she is, not because the imprint thing. Don't get me wrong, I love Emily, but sometimes I wonder what would have happen if I have never met Emily. Would Leah and I still be together?

Neal's point of view

I was running at full speed through the forest; it always helps me to think, but this time, well this time my mind is such a mess that I can't even think in a whole sentence without getting a headache. When I finally reached my destination, I shifted and put what was left of my pants on.

"Grandpa!" I said knocking the door. "Open up! I now you are in there!" I kept knocking till my grandfather finally opened the door.

"What is this? How dare you come in the middle of the night and wake me up like this?" he asked angrily.

"I need your help."

He looked at me with a surprise expression. My grandfather, Maurice White, has never been fan of the idea of me turning into a giant wolf. He wanted me to follow my own dreams and he stopped talking to my father when he realized that my father had made me stay in the reservation. I tried to assured him that this was my own decision, that my father had nothing to do with this, but he didn't believe me. The only one who could have made him change his mind would be grandma, but she died long time ago. I don't see him much now, but this was an emergency and he was the only one who could help me.

"Go with your father then," he said starting to close the door.

"Wait!" I said putting my foot inside his house before he could shut the door. "Dad is not at home and you are the only one who knows the legends by hard, I need to ask you something."

"Then ask!" he exclaimed opening the door and glaring at me with an angry face.

"Not here!" I said looking around; fortunately no one seems to be hearing our conversation.

"Ok, you can come in, but just for this time," he said entering the house and leaving the door open.

"Thanks," I said closing the door behind me and walking towards the living room where my grandfather was already turning on the lights.

"Unbelievable, you here, at 2 am, bah!" he sat on his sofa and I sat on a chair in front of him. "Don't you own a shirt or something? And where are your shoes?"

"That's the least of my problems now grandpa."

"Ok then, so what is so important that you have to come all the way here to ask for my help?"

"Well, I am not sure…"

"You don't know?"

"Grandpa lower your voice, please."

"What do you mean you don't know? Are you trying to cause me a heart attack or something?"

"No! Let me explain, I was with this girl…"

"Didn't your father have the girl conversation with you? How old are you?"

"Grandpa please let me finish, it has nothing to do with that!" I said losing my patience.

"Then what is it?" he asked and I sighed.

"Like I said, I was with a girl talking and suddenly I looked at her eyes and from one second to another everything change!"

"What do you mean?"

"I don't know; all of a sudden I found her very attractive and now I can't stop thinking about her. It's like… like she is my purpose of living now, I feel like she is someone very important to me and I… I don't know…"

"You woke me up to tell me you have a crush on a girl?"

"No! This is more than a crush!"

"You fell for her?"

"Ah! Didn't you listen? There is something more in all of this, I know it!"

"So you met a girl, you got madly in love with her and now you think it has something with you being a wolf?"

"Yes!"

"I am going back to bed."

"Yes! What? No, no, grandpa you have to help me, there must be something that you can do."

"No."

"Come on! At least let me take a look at your old books."

"No."

"It'll be quick, I promise."

"I said no."

"Fine, I'll just come back when you are not home and read them anyway," I said crossing my arms over my chest.

"You are swimming in dangerous waters my boy."

"You know something, I can see it in your eyes," I said and my grandpa sighed defeated.

"Imprinting."

"You need to print it?"

"No you idiot, the phenomenon is called imprinting," I know what you are thinking, grandfathers are supposes to be gentle and sweat, well, that's not my case.

"What does that mean?"

"Is a strange phenomenon," he said walking towards his library and grabbing an old book. "It doesn't happen to all the shape shifters, but is the only thing that can explain what happened to you."

"So I am ill?"

"No, here it is!" he said showing me the page written in an old language. "Imprinting is described as the moment when the shape shifter finds his true love, it is like love at first sight but stronger."

"So Leah is the love of my life? That is why I can't stop thinking about her?"

"She is your imprint now, which means that she is the most important person in the world for you; you are going to start feeling the need of protecting her all the time, at least that's what the book says."

"I can't believe it," I said sitting down in a chair to process the information. "Is this forever? I mean, is there a way to break it or something?"

"Why would you want to break the bond that you share with your true love?"

"Good question."

Grandpa is right, just thinking about breaking the bond makes me feel sick. I just find my soul mate, I can't believe it, I have only have one conversation with her and now we share a bond more powerful than love itself, this is crazy!

"So what now?" I asked my grandfather.

"Well, you could buy her flowers, that worked with your grandmother."

"What? I am not talking about that, does the book say anything else? Something that I should now?"

"It only describes what imprinting is, but nothing more, what you do from now on depends on you."

"Right."

"But Neal, you have to understand that this doesn't work the same way for her."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, you love her, but she doesn't love you, not yet. An imprint can choose the destiny of the werewolf; she can ask you to be her friend, her brother or her lover."

"Oh…"

"But I would like to have great-grandchildren soon so…."

"Grandpa!"

"What?"

"Forget it, thanks for everything, sorry to wake you up," I said standing up and walking towards the front door.

"Close the door when you leave," he said leaving the book in the shelf.

"No problem," I opened the door again just to say one more thing. "You know Lina and I love you, don't you?"

"I have a gun and I am not afraid to use it!"

"I'll take that as a yes."
