Jacob was about ready to snap at Sam. They were in wolf form, and having an "Alpha Meeting" but it was mostly about his favorite she-wolf. He hated when he got in his face about Leah. He didn't dare tell her about him and Sam's meeting about her, because he does want to keep his manhood. Knowing Leah, she'd laugh in his face and use it as a keychain. He cringed.
You need to convince her not to keep that girl! She's nothing but trouble. They're been leeches everywhere and Leah doesn't need anything else on her mind when she's hunting them down. She doesn't even have a pack to help take care of her, Sam shouted in his head.
Kristina is not trouble and Leah knows how to concentrate. I don't see why you want her to join the packs again. You just can't stand letting her be happy can you? She's happy with Jasper. She's happy being alone. She's happy that she can finally feel like someone needs her like Kris does. What is up with you lately Sam? Jacob asked calmly. Sam whined and sat down. It was a while before he answered.
I can't stand it. The thought of her being with someone else and happy… it kills me. I'm being stupid and selfish I know… I hate it. I hate knowing what I did to her hurt her, and it's all cause of imprinting. I love Emily don't get me wrong, but Leah's like a first love thing you know? I can't stand thinking about touching him the way she used to touch me. I'm being a selfish bastard. I want her to be safe… I just wish I could've broken the imprint. Sam stopped and took a deep shaky breath.
Then you imprinted and she looked so hurt all over again… I hate seeing all this happen to her. I wish I had someone to blame for all this happening. But I can't be mad at the Cullen's. I mean Leah was thinking about going suicidal when she thought she was alone. I got reports from Paul and Jared when they would accidently phase... Sam suddenly showed Jacob a picture of him and Nessie playing in her backyard the day Leah met Jasper. Sam had to talk to Jacob about all the vampires in the area triggering alot of phasing when he caught sight of her. Leah was in cover of the trees watching Jacob and Renesmee with tears in her eyes. When she saw Sam looking at her, the tears streamed down her face harder, but she shook her head telling him not to draw attention to her and she turned on her heels and ran into the woods towards her home to shed her tears freely on the roof. No one noticed the exchange because they were all focused on Renesmee.
Jacob was shocked. He tried not to be mad at himself for not paying more attention to his former Beta. But it was too much. He whined and lowered his head. Suddenly he had an idea.
Maybe we can convince her to join the packs again. A lot of people are worried about her. Especially Seth. He keeps asking me to check on her during my patrol. She's planning on getting a house with Jasper soon. I heard them talking about moving once. I don't like her with Jasper either. But she's happy and not a harpy. Sure she still has a temper, and she can curse so bad that sailors cringe, but we all love her. Jacob said.
Paul was even worried about her. He puts on this façade of hating her so he can watch her. It's kind of stalker-ish. Okay, well can you try to convince her? If I walk up to that house I won't be walking anymore. Sam was hopeful.
Yeah okay. I'll go right now.
Thanks Jake.
Sam phased back.
Jacob ran to Leah's house, which was filled with the scent of leech. But Jacob was used to it. He basically lived with them. He phased back and knocked on the door.
Leah opened it looking beautiful and radiant. She was smiling hugely and her dark brown eyes sparkled. She wore a forest green sundress that went to her shins. Her hair was straight and past her shoulders. Jacob couldn't help but smile at her. She looked goofy almost. It was adorable. She led him to the kitchen.
"C'mon in. I'm making some food for you guys and I was going to have someone to taste it since I haven't cooked in a while so-"
"We want you to rejoin the packs." She stopped dead in her tracks and turned to him, her smile disappearing slowly.
"We?" She asked.
" Almost everyone in La Push that knows about the pack plus me, Seth Embry Quil Jared Sam Collin Brady Billy Sue-"
Jasper swooped down the stairs in one quick motion.
"And me." He said. Leah snapped her head to him with her frown on her face.
"Now wait just a minute. A few days ago you were having a party because I wasn't in the pack. Hell, Seth was even there. Now you want me back? Huh? No. Someone told you to bring me back. Don't smile at me, that's your way of getting people to believe you. I know you too well Jacob. Who told you to get me in a pack?" She quickly turned to Jasper. In a smooth move he raised an eyebrow.
"Not me, but I do want you in a pack. It's only cause your more defense then offence-"
"No it's cause I'm a girl and I can't take care of myself in your opinion." Leah snapped. Jasper frowned.
"That is not it. I'm saying your smaller so it concerns me if you don't have a pack to get them off you. You may be quick, but I've seen you fight. Your fast, but your skin in softer to bite into. You don't smell revolting like the other wolves," Jasper turned to Jacob "No offence," he turned back to Leah," Like I said, you don't smell revolting. Even Bella said you smelled good when she was changed. They won't hesitate to bite you. You've had some close calls to date, but the pack was always there to get them off your back right?" As quick as she got mad it evaporated, and Leah was soon hand in hand with Jasper. They both looked calm now, but Leah still had a slight frown on her face. Jacob was amazed. It'd take hours for her to calm down if it was the pack. In between those hours, if you can within a ten foot radius you'd be having a missing body part when you left. But now, she's completely calm. Her and Jasper didn't have an imprint, but you could've fooled Jacob.
"But I can't! Kris, she has to start school soon. I have to be there for her! And Jasper can't be on La Push grounds without me. I'd be doing patrol 12/7 all the time-" Leah was cut off by Jacob.
"12/7?" he asked.
She let out an annoyed sigh. "Twelve hours a day seven days a week. Anyway, with me taking care of Kris and then hanging with Jasper I would be tired all the time." Leah ran a hand through her hair. She got that from Jacob.
"Well then we can join packs so we can all let up on patrols." Jacob said simply. Leah sighed. She hated when he was so right about something.
"Alright. But I don't want to and I don't like it." She took a huge sigh and rolled her fingers on her temples. She got that from Jasper. You could tell she was coordinating things in her head."Okay, Kris went shopping with Rosalie Esme and Alice and they won't be back anytime soon so we can have a meeting like right now about and put it to a vote between the packs. But I'm telling you, none of them want me back. Matter a fact, you owe me ten bucks if they don't want me back." Leah said smugly. Oh, if only she knew the complaints he got.
"Okay, but if I win you have to give Paul a kiss on the cheek." Jacob said. He was smiling hugely again. Leah rolled her eyes and Jasper fiddled with her fingers. He knew Jacob would win this one.
"Well? Go howl and tell them to meet us at the cliffs. I'll be there in a sec." Leah said. Jacob nodded and walked calmly out the house.
He was going to get Leah back and safe no matter what it takes.
Maybe she'll finally like Nessie… Jacob thought as he phased. Then snorted. Ha. No.
Leah turned to Jasper, who was still playing with her fingers and not meeting her eyes. She smirked and drew him closer to her. Her warm lips brushed his cool ones, and she felt even smugger that she had him all to herself. She began walking out to the door.
"Where are you going?" he asked.
"To the meeting. C'mon your going. I'll race you." She giggled when he darted out the door. She quickly threw the dress and under garments in the air before she phased, but before she could catch her clothes in her mouth Jasper caught it. He held onto them. She barked, and they were off.
She could feel all the boys phasing in as she got closer to the cliff. When Jasper was nowhere in sight, she faltered slightly before running faster, determined to beat him. When she was close to the cliffs she barked in triumph that Jasper wasn't there yet. Both packs turned their big wolf heads to her in question, and Jasper burst through the trees with a smirk on his face. But he saw Leah, and that smirk was gone. She gave him a wolfy smile and phased back, putting her underwear and dress back on. All the boys did the same. She made sure they were all dressed in cut off's before walking to her spot on the log next to Jacob.
Jasper sat in the lowest branch on a tree, waiting for the vote to come so his she wolf would be safe.
"Alrighty then. Me and some of the other guys have been talking, and we thought that Leah should join the packs again. She doesn't believe me though, so I would ask you to put it to a vote. All in favor of Leah joining again say 'Aye'", Jacob said.
A series of 9 ayes shocked her. She glared at Jasper whose voice stood out calmly and quietly than the rest of them. All the boys followed her eye, and laughed when they say Jasper smile innocently at her.
Jacob was smiling a bright smile. "All in favor of Leah not joining the packs again say aye."
Not one person spoke. Ecxept Leah.
"Aye aye captain. So I'm back in the packs. Woopdie doo. We done here?" Leah was sarcastic. Jacob shook his head.
"I think Paul needs something first." Jacob wiggled her eye brows at her. Leah's cheeks turned pink as she slowly turned to Paul. He had an eyebrow raised.
"What about me?" he asked. Everyone was going back and forth from Leah and Jacob.
She sighed, got up from her spot walked to Paul and bent down. She quickly pecked Paul on his cheek, the heat of his skin burning her lips that we so used to cool ones.
"Happy?" she asked. Everyone was staring at her in surprise. She looked down at Paul who had a goofy smile on his face.
"What?" Leah snapped.
"I always knew you had a crush on me." Paul said. Everyone was dead silent until they burst out laughing. Soon enough, even Leah was chuckling. Seth was actually holding his sides from laughing so hard. They're booming laughs echoed off the cliffs, and it was just like old times. Suddenly Jasper was by her side, just standing there laughing as well. Leah smiled warmly up at him. A genuine smile.
Seth got up from his seat, and so did Jacob and Sam. They all looked at each other before patting Jasper on the back. Jasper frowned.
"What was that for?" he asked.
"For making her smile again." They trio said in unison. Leah frowned.
"What? I didn't smile before?" she asked.
"On very rare occasions. Like after you won a fight with vampire rare occasion." Seth said jokingly. She scoffed and cuffed him on the back of his head. She went to the cover of the tree's before coming out in a lavender bra and panties set. She ran off to the edge of the cliff in a swan dive, before putting her arms in front of her straightening her body before hitting the water, the whole way smiling, laughing, and screaming with joy.
All the guys looked at eachother before taking off their shorts and diving themselves, leaving Jasper to shrug, take off his clothes too, leaving him in his boxers as well before diving. It was the best experience ever, and even for a vampire the speed of going down is incredible.
"You becoming a adrenaline junkie too?" Leah asked, swimming to him. Jasper pushed some strand out of her face before dragging her under the water and kissing her. When they resurfaced, there was wolf whistles all around, even from Sam.
But the apocalypse was coming, and no one would be able to stop it.
A/N: I'm so mad at myself for not updating sooner! My parents are getting a divorce, funerals and I have no idea where my older brother is kinda knocked me out of my writing streak. Gah! Anyway, please don't get mad at me for making Leah join the packs again so soon, it's part of the story. Oh, and next chapter (or the one after that) we'll learn is Kristina has any family left from the vampire attack.
I'm to stubborn on doing my stories alone to get a Beta Reader (I'm a loner. I like being alone and no I am not emo.) so I apologise for mispelling and errors.
