Chapter Fifteen- Without You

"Without you in my life

I'd slowly wilt and die

But with you by my side

You're the reason I'm alive

But with you in my life

You're the reason I'm alive

But without you, without you...

I could face a mountain

But I could never climb alone

I could start another day

But how many, just don't know

You're the reason the sun shines down

And the nights, they don't grow cold

Only you that I'll hold when I'm young

Only you as we grow old"

Motley Crue- "Without You"

(Leah's POV)

Did that just happen? Did Jacob really just become an Alpha of his own pack? My legs shook under me as I realized what I had just witnessed. I was pissed at Jacob for the simple fact that I had tried to do that so many times before. I never wanted to be Sam's little puppy. When I first phased, I had tried to break off on my own, Sam saw it in my head and was really pissed at me for it.

Jacob had just done the one thing I had wanted besides imprint, to break away from Sam. If I couldn't do it myself, I was going with Jacob.

No one in the room had moved, much less spoken, I don't think anyone had even exhaled. I cautiously looked up at Sam, whom was staring at the far wall. Emily was standing next to him with her hand on his arm. Even after finding Bella, loving her, it still hurt me to see Sam and Emily together. I guess it always will.

Slowly, I turned toward the back door and walked out. I felt the room shift behind me and Sam called out, "Leah! Where are you going?" I didn't answer, just ran into the woods. Sam ordered me to stop, but it did no good. I'd given my loyalty to Jacob now; I was no longer under his command.

When I got to the woods, I phased. Jacob was thinking about something, so I stayed quiet until he finally realized I was here.

'Leah!? What the fuck are you doing out here?'

'I'm joining you Jake.' I said. He looked into my thoughts, and I let him. He was quiet for a while.

'You should go back to Sam.' He said firmly.

'No, I'm with you and you're not sending me back.'

'Fine.' He mentally sighed. I found him lying in a little clearing under a tree. I lay down next to him.

'Did you mean what you said back there? About me and Bella?'

'Yes. I don't think it's right for Sam to keep you from her.'

'So I can see her?' I asked hopefully.

Jacob thought for a minute. 'Let me go see her first, so I can be sure of how she's doing. Then you can see her.'

I was so excited, I leaned over and licked Jacob's face. 'Thank you, so much, Jake! This means the absolute world to me.'

He laughed, a barking sound escaping his throat. 'Alice said she woke up this morning, so I'll head over there now. You wait at the river behind their house, just in case, okay?'

I nodded my wolf head. 'Got it.' We raced off towards the Cullen's. I stopped at the river, just like Jake said. He leaped over and phased at the other side, then walked toward the house. I wasn't sure if I should wait in human form or wolf form. I decided on human form, so I went and phased, then sat on a rock next to the river. I looked down at my clothes. I'd worn this dress to Bella's "funeral", so maybe it wasn't the best thing to wear right now. It was black and definitely told the world I was in mourning. Well, too late to go home now.

I picked at the grass next to my feet, waiting for Jake. I heard footsteps behind me, I jumped up and spun around, coming face to face with my little brother.

"Seth? What the hell are you doing here?"

He smiled. "I'm joining you and Jake."

I stared at him and then shook my head. "No, you're not. You are going home to Sam." I started to push him, but he grabbed my wrists.

"Look, Leah. You're my sister and I've seen you suffer enough without Bella. I'm not letting you run off here with Jake to the vampires' territory." He said firmly.

I smiled at him, tears filling my eyes. "Overprotective little brother, huh?"

He nodded and smiled brightly. "Of course." I hugged him and mumbled a thank you. He was the best little brother in the world.

Our sibling moment was interrupted by someone clearing their throat behind us. I turned around to find Rosalie standing on the other side of the river. She leaped across the river and stood in front of me.

"Leah, just let me say that I've taken care of Bella for the past three days. I know it's been hard for you to be away from her and I want to kick Sam's ass for keeping you away from Bella. She wants to see you." Rosalie said.

I processed her words. Rose sighed, and said with humor in her voice, "Like now!"

Seth gave me a little push and I leaped across the river. Seth and Rosalie were right behind me.

I ran across the yard and stopped just outside the backdoor. My heart was pounding in my chest, but was pulling me inside towards Bella. I walked up the steps and pulled the door open. The second I did, it was like I had walked into a wall of Bella's scent. It was just the same as I remembered, strawberries, only sweeter. Much sweeter than before, but it wasn't too sweet. I walked forward, following the scent. I couldn't smell any of the other Cullen's or Jacob, only Bella.

Walking around the corner of the living room, the scent became exponentially stronger. And then, I saw her. My eyes connected with hers. For a moment, I actually expected them to be brown, but they were a soft scarlet. Her skin was paler than before, her lips a little fuller, her brown hair a little shinier, her breasts a little fuller, her stomach a little flatter- but she was still my Bella. She smiled at me and I couldn't help but smile back.

Her smiled widened and I noticed her perfect smile was just the same, my heart fluttered. She stood from her chair and walked toward me. I was frozen to my spot, only able to stare at her approaching form.

She was just within arms reach of me when I snapped out of it. She reached up and put her arms around my neck. I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her up, she wrapped her arms around my waist.

I covered my lips with hers. Her cold tongue pressed against my lips and I quickly granted her entrance. Her cold arms and legs were locked in an iron embrace around my body. Her cold tongue against my hot one caused a shimmer down my spine. Bella moaned into my mouth.

"I missed you." I finally was able to get out.

"I missed you, too." She said and ground her womanhood against my waist. I moaned. She knotted her hands in my hair. I pushed her dress up with my fingers. My hot skin met hers and she arched her back against me. Before I realized what was happening, my back was against a wall. I pulled away from Bella and looked up, realizing it wasn't a wall I felt, but the floor. I was lying on my back on the floor. Bella was straddling my hips.

She started to push my shirt up with her cold hands. The mere feel of her hand on my thighs caused wetness to pool there. Bella smiled at me and ripped my dress right off my body.

I playfully glared at her. "Bella, that was my only dress."

She growled. "Well, I ruined it. What are you going to do about it?"

I growled back and leapt on her, I felt some floorboards breaking under us, but paid them no mind.

Bella squirmed under me. I ripped her shirt off of her, cursing her for wearing a bra. She gasped. "Oh, Alice is going to kill you."

I smirked. "And? Are you going to let her?"

Bella grabbed my face and pulled me down to kiss her. I reached down between us and slid my hand into her jeans. As I slipped a finger into her entrance, she moaned into my mouth and tightened her grip that she had on my hair. It was starting to hurt, but I liked it.

I had two fingers inside of her, she was nearing her climax when she suddenly dug her nails into my neck. I snarled, and Bella smiled. She did it again, harder and I squealed. Who knew I liked it rough?

Bella orgasmed against my hand and then kissed me again. I withdrew my hand from her pants and she flipped us over so she was on top of me. We crashed into the Cullen's entertainment center. I looked up and realized the big screen TV was about to fall, out of pure instinct to protect my imprint, I rolled over on top of Bella.

She smiled and pinched my ear. "I'm immortal now, too, remember? You don't have to protect me." She kissed me just under my collarbone.

"Of course I have to protect you. It's in my blood." I kissed her temple.

She reached up in between my thighs and slid her fingers in between my folds. Once again, her ice met my fire and it was orgasmic. Literally. It was long before I came and Bella kissed me again. I pulled her against me so that every inch of her was pressed against some part of me. As a werewolf, my skin is hot and temperature doesn't bother me. Feeling Bella's cold skin against mine was heavenly. She was cold, but not too cold.

Bella's forehead rested against mine and we stared into each other's eyes. After a few minutes, I remembered something. "Um, Bella?"

"Yes?" She asked.

"Where are the Cullen's?"
