Leah POV

Phasing in and running the perimeter, the pack mind was silent. Jake and Quil were both supposed to be on patrol now. Where the hell are they! I bet they're goofing off and they've left me to it again, so they can start late. Just because Jake is Alfa that doesn't mean he gets to come and go as he pleases!

Coming up to Second Beach Leah could smell Jake but he wasn't phased in and he was alone. Running to the edge of the forest she could see Jacob on the ground but nobody was around. Phasing out Leah pulled on her sundress and ran towards Jake.

"Jake, Jake" Leah shouted as she ran towards him.

Jake remained unmoving as Leah ran up. "Oh shit" she murmured as she reached Jake. He still hadn't moved, Leah began to panic. Pulling out her phone, Leah dialled Quil.

"Hey Leah, what's up!"

"Did you forget you were on patrol dumbass? You were supposed to start 20 minutes ago!".

"Shit, Leah has Jake noticed? I'll be leaving now".

"It doesn't matter Quil, There's an issue get Colin phased in and you two patrol. Jake and I are dealing with something".

"Is it serious? Do you need me to…"

"Quil, shut up and do as I say!" Leah shouted hanging up.

On her knees next to Jake, Leah began to panic.

"Jake come on, get up, what's going on" Leah asked as she attempted to pull Jacob into sitting up.

Leah knew she didn't have the expertise to deal with this, pulling out her cell again.

"Sam, its me. I'm at second beach, come now. Please, its Jake"

Lying on the couch at Old Quil's, Jake looked no better if anything he looked worse to Leah.

"He's met everyone on the Res Quil, I don't see who he could have imprinted on" Sam exclaimed with his hands in his hair.

"I'm telling you Sam, you looked exactly the same after you imprinted on Emily" Quil exclaimed, "Loom at him for godsake".

Leah felt her heart clench painfully at Old Quils words about Sam and Emily. She gazed sadly at Jake, she knew it was Kitty, who else could it be?! From what Kitty had said in the truck, her and Jake had met and Jake had been a colossal dick and Kitty had walked away, they were clearly not suited.

"What do we do Quil, he's clearly rejecting it." Sam asked.

"She's rejecting it too, that's why he feels like this" Quil indicated towards Jake with his walking stick.

"What can we do Quil? We need our alpha" Sam asked.

"He either has to give in or pull himself through" Quil responded with a shrug "someone should check on her as well".

"I met her today" Leah admitted, "Well I assume its her, The new girl who moved into the old cabin on the edge of the Res. She mentioned she met a guy on the beach near her cabin who was a dick to her, and then I found Jake near the place she was talking about."

"Ah" Sam commented.

"I actually made plans to go over hers tonight" Leah commented.

"Good" Old Quil said, "That's settled, Leah will check on the imprint and I will keep an eye on Jake."

"Yeah, thats why I tried to make friends" Leah muttered "To drag her into pack crap" Leah stormed out slamming the door behind her.

How dare they! Thought Leah, she wasn't making friends to bring them into the pack. No! she wanted a life outside the pack! Someone the rest didn't know about or care about! She made her way towards home, the least she could do is have a shower and get dressed up before ruining Kittys life.
