BLOODWIND: A SOUL'S WORTH
CHAPTER NINE
Leah Pov
We all knew they were distracting us. All of us had foggy memories almost like a drug hazy. Pauls words not mine though I have to agree it was almost as if we were high. Snippets of laughing talking loving caresses. I enjoyed it while it lasted probably wouldn't happen again. School was only starting on Wednesday or so, because of the surplus of students attending. The reservation school was burnt down mysteriously no one knew what started it so they started integrating the forks high with the reservation. It was going to be crowded originally the pack. (those still young enough to attend school) were going to be "home schooled" but now with the imprints. Well the council couldn't say much against it. So now bloodsuckers and shapeshifters were going to be in the same vicinity. Oh joy. "you coming in to eat" Emily and I were on civil terms now after the imprint. We not how we used to be but we getting there. "yeah I'll be there in a moment" I looked back at the forest. My thoughts running a mile a minute. Leati he was native to Hawaii. He was strong in personality. He gave me an impression of the alpha in the group it suited him very well. He didn't seem to have a domineering personality and seemed to handle everything in stride. If anything, handling Pauls imprint seemed like a full-time job. I couldn't help but smile. Jacobs imprint came out of her shell for a bit she was fun a bit stoic. Yet she seemed to ease with everyone else. That family was something else. The squabbled and bickered like children even Lee joined in an impromptu wrestling match even the girls joined in along with Seth and the others. It was fun to see the colour drain from Embry's face when his imprint was playfully slammed on the couch. We were worried at first but realised it was normal. Then there were the random conversations. Something about rats having a secret organisations. To old school cartoons vs new school. Seth and Elrica had an all-out debate about those. It was fun to listen yet somehow everyone got roped in when we added our own. I had never felt so. Human so happy for those few hours. "It's nice to see you smile again" I jumped a bit I thought she went back inside. "He would be good for you" she said sadly. My temper rose and deflated just as quick. I was angry that my imprint had to be mafia. Our world was secretive theirs was to but unlike them we didn't have the benefit of high walls to protect our secrets. Two natives came to the reservation bought a rundown cottage. They had guns we could smell the gun powder even though most of the time was spent in the forest, it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out what they were doing. Maybe about 400km from us there was a cliff that over looked their estate though through human eyes you couldn't see much with the right equipment you could see something. Already this put a hinder on our patrols we had to be extra alert for humans wondering around. "But it's not over yet don't lose hope Leah the gods wouldn't have given him to you if you weren't meant to be together" she was looking out at the trees the sun was hitting them in such an angle their bark looked orange. She had a determined look on her face as if to for herself to believe it. She was right. God wouldn't have given him to me if there wasn't a way for this to work. I looked toward her again to tell her she was right, I only just saw her entering the cottage probably to stop the others from eating all the food. I let out a huge sigh dusting off my shorts I went inside the house smell of grilled chicken making my tummy rumble.
