For the first six reviews of this chapter, they will get a sneak peak at a kiss between Seth and his imprint! YEY! Here goes the story let me know how you like it! - Jester!
Saturday arrived sooner than expected in Jacob's opinion. He was waiting in his room nibbling on his lip, his heart was beating due to his nerves. Seth walked in, "Hey Jacob. Why're you still up here? You look great, let's go!" Jacob let his gaze fall on the younger man and then swiftly stood and began pacing, "I can't help it, I'm nervous. I don't believe it. I, Jacob Black, am nervous. I feel as if tonight is going to end in horror." Seth chuckled, "Come one now, you're the alpha. You've imprinted on a vampire Jake, this is a horror flick waiting to happen." Jacob glared at him, "How about you keep your remarks to yourself today Seth. Go get dressed or piss on a tree or something." Seth looked hurt for a second and then shrugged and walked out of the room. Jacob was about to call him back but changed his mind, he would apologize after the ceremony.
Jacob looked at the mirror in front of him, he didn't look bad at all. He wore dark jeans that hugged his hips but fell in wide strides down his legs. A wife beater hugged his chest in the same color and he had a black button up shirt on, revealing the muscle tone underneath. His long hair was braided away from his face, he looked very good with a smirk he walked down the stairs towards the awaiting pack members. Leah whistled and the other boys laughed, "Hey Jake. If you decide you don't want him, let me take you out for a spin." Jacob shook his head, "Leah, I know you're constantly in heat but wait until you imprint. I'm sure he wouldn't want to have my sloppy seconds." Leah growled and stomped out of the house muttering a string of profanities. "Let's go." Sam said, "We need to go to the top of our sacred mountain for this ceremony." Jacob sighed, "What was the point of getting all attractive if I am just going to phase?" Seth appeared next to him, "Don't worry, we'll make you look good."
Leah didn't want anyone to know about what had happened on the beach, with the blood sucker. He was a blood sucker and she would most definitely not be mating with him in any way, shape, or form. She walked towards the ceremonial grounds, she would not be shifting until she got over the pale one, this one had lived off human blood for centuries and she would not accept him. As she neared the bonfire that had been built in the center of the clearing she smiled thinking about her own imprint ceremony. That was the only thing that had kept her sane while Sam had run into Emily's arms after imprinting on her. At the time Leah had felt heart broken, rage, betrayed. Only Jacob had kept her from destroying herself, with hopes of imprinting and being allowed to fall in love the same way. She sighed and walked towards the group of wolves awaiting their alpha, time would tell.
Edward was in the center of the clearing, his family was sitting with all the other shifters and native people. Alec and Caius were in between Jasper and Emmett holding their thirst at bay. Every once in a while Edward would catch thoughts from them about the fresh blood, sometimes Alec would think about the female wolf. Other times Edward would find himself grinding his teeth at Caius thought's of Jacob. Regardless the last few days had been stressful for him, now they all awaited Jacob in the clearing for the initiation of Edward as his imprint.
Edward couldn't help but feel a warm tingle of satisfaction for the fact that Caius was not going to be the one that celebrated with Jacob. As if reading his mind Alice gripped his shoulder, "Edward, don't forget he can still choose a lover." Edward glared, "Alice, I only want him as a companion, can you get that through your head?" Jasper whispered loud enough for Edward to hear, "And that Jealous feeling you get around Caius is basically normal right?" Edward growled but was soon interrupted by a commotion, Jacob had arrived. Billy was the first to meet him, he extended his arm in salutations and faced the crowd, "After fighting to defend our tribe so long, my son finally finds happiness. His level head and tribute towards us will make him a great chief!" Cheers and drums were heard, Alice soon joined the dancing females. Jasper watched calmly from the side one eye on her the other on Caius. Emmett was sitting next to Alec talking to him about distractions in combat. Edward shook his head then tried to peek at Jacob.
Caius saw him first, Edward knew this because he was able to feel the lust coming off of him. His thoughts swam around that russet toned body and Edward almost bit his own tongue in frustration. He stomped in the direction of Jacob, who smiled at him. Edward frowned, "You're causing a scene do you own a shirt?" Jacob look taken back, "I'm supposed to cause a scene, this is our celebration. I don't like to tear up my shirts in case I need to phase." "Edward," Caius said from behind him, "It's not as if you're allowed to tell him what to do. Jacob has a mind of his own you know." Jacob looked at the quiet beautiful vampire and smirked at Edward, "He's right. Now let's get this over with so we can eat imprint of mine." Jasper approached Edward as Jacob turned away and Caius followed him, "Calm down and don't make a fool of yourself. Please be sure to not ruin this for Jacob. Besides Jacob only felt friendly toward Caius."
"That can change very fast." Leah said startling them from where they stood, "Jacob is opened to any type of relationship. Mainly because he feels love can be found anywhere." Edward felt hurt, "He wasn't open to a relationship with me." Jasper smiled, "Not that you wanted him to." Leah sneered, "You're a blood sucker. He would have to be willing to put the tribe second. If he was a normal human, and he fell in love with you, he would have perused you without a doubt. However, he is a shifter. Not just any shifter, the alpha. You'd have to win him over and make him doubt his role before he would even think about having a relationship with you." Edward glared at her, "You are a bitter woman." "That wasn't very nice Cullen." A soft yet firm voice came from behind them, "You do not lash at a woman regardless of their behavior. Is this what Carlisle has taught you?" Every one turned to look at Alec who was looking off into the fire, Leah felt her heart clench but shook her head, this was not possible, she was falling for the leech.
Jasper looked at Alec closely, his emotions about the female wolf were confusing, "Alec, this is the first time we heard you talk all week. I'm glad you're starting to feel welcomed." Alice reached out and grabbed onto Edward, "No." The gasp drew everyone in hearing distance Jasper was next to her in an instant. "What did you see?" Edward read her mind quickly then began to laugh, "You've got to be kidding me. You hypocrite!" Leah began backing away, "What are you leeches talking about?" Alice looked sad, "Leah, it isn't an evil thing to be bonded with a vampire. We can be loving creatures just as well as you can." Jacob came up behind them, "Leah? Would you mind telling me what is going on?" Leah shook her head, "It isn't fair." The whisper sounded almost amplified in the clearing. Jacob's eyes soften and he leaned forward, pulling Leah into a hug as he understood the reactions she had been having. As alpha, reading it all came naturally, almost as if reading their mind.
Leah couldn't help but grab onto Jacob as she sobbed, her life was ruined. She had imprinted on a leech and they had all found out. "What's wrong with her?" Sam asked. Leah glared at him, "It's all your fault!" Jacob chuckled as he ran his hands through her long hair, "Leah, it isn't his fault. Just like it wasn't my fault, or yours. You can still live through this and be your own person. Remember that will you?" Seth tilt his head, "Who did she imprint on?" Jacob looked at Leah, his eyes asking that question as well. "Would you like us to leave?" Alec asked, "It would only be proper to give a woman her privacy." Leah blushed and Jacob rose an eyebrow, "Really? It had to be the only one who didn't want to change?" Leah sighed at Jacob's teasing tone, "You're telling me?" Esme walked cautiously towards Leah, "Then, it is Alec?"
Edward had been reading Alec's mind, the fact that he felt jealous at the thought of Leah belonging to someone else was enough of a confirmation for him. Alec's head snapped up to look at Leah as she pawed at Jacob. Edward felt annoyance from the display infront of him, he knew Leah didn't need to be holding Jacob in such a way. Alec seemed to be thinking along the same lines because he quickly walked forward and separated them. He held onto Leah as he looked in her eyes, Edward felt enough lust go through him without needing to read their thoughts.
Sam was the first to speak, "This makes a second. I do not like this, and why are you holding her in such a way?" Seth's growl caused them all to look at him, Jacob moved quickly to intercept the two wolves. "Seth calm down." Jacob ordered. Seth shook his head, "Even before you imprinted you were a dick to her. How about you calm down and let her live a little man. I was the one that had to comfort her day and night after your little imprint fiasco. I understand you weren't responsible for the imprint. I can't say for everything else." Sam was growling now as well, "A child like you has no right to meddle into adult business. Especially if you haven't imprinted." Jacob sighed, "Calm down!" Seth and Sam were ignoring him now, Edward watched with fascination as some of the wolves backed away from Jacob. The other two continued to argue. "Stop being a little bitch," Sam growled, "And stay out of it." Seth trembled once then his skin burst into his wolf form. Sam was fast to follow and they stood glaring at each other.
Leah had been captivated by Alec's eyes, until she saw her brother phase. She knew something was wrong but before she could join them Sam jumped onto Seth's back and bit him. Seth howled and threw himself backwards slamming Sam with his body into the floor. Sam snarled as he got up quickly and rushed at Seth again. Seth shook his head like a mad horse and ran forward aiming to hurt Sam. Jacob jumped in between them, and as Edward watched he transformed in split seconds. His growl rippled through the forest and everyone was sure they could hear it on the other side of the island. "Jake's mad." Jared said, "Not a good thing." Edward watch in amazement as Sam and Seth transformed back, Jacob followed seconds later.
"I told you two to calm down." Jacob said, "Seth, we need to talk and we will. For now, run patrol in the northern field, Sam you take the southern one. I will relieve you when I feel you have learned your lesson. If you want to act like barbarians, do so one your own. This ceremony is now over. Edward has been declared my imprint, and Alec is Leah's imprint. I don't think we need to hold any more celebrations for a while. Is there any protest to this?" Billy nodded his head, "You are right young one. This ceremony is officially over. Leah, Jacob, congratulations on your imprints. Treasure them." Edward watched as the natives began heading back down the hill towards their homes. Alice bit her lip, "I can not help but think this is my fault." Jacob looked at her, "It isn't, you just helped me clear up one of my pack's dilemma's, I thank you, the fault lies with Sam and Seth alone. Their punishment will be soon, they disobeyed me in public and fought with each other. In my pack, there is no room for hatred, we get that enough from our enemies." Jasper could feel anger still coming off the young man, "What are you going to do?" Jacob look towards the horizon, "I am going to take their imprints away for a while." Leah heard this and backed away, "Jake? Seth doesn't have an imprint." Jacob looked at her, "Yes, he actually does. Now go home, I'll take care of picking up." Leah shook her head, "Don't do this to my little brother Jake. It hurts to be without them." Jacob smiled bitterly, "I know Leah, and unless you want to go through it as well, you'll obey."
I know, Jacob is a bit upsetting. We must understand though, he is fighting his imprint. Which by the way, not the most intelligent thing he has done. Review and comment Please!
