Just a heads up things are going to go fast the next few chapters since I got a lot more to cover
Jacob's POV
It's been a week since I broke away from the others. I too was now protecting Bella. Seth and Leah both ended up breaking away too; Seth agrees with my views and loves the Cullens, Leah just wanted to get away from Sam. They both are annoying but they are my new pack. The only problem other than that is the fact Leah has not been to the house nor spoken to the others. She likes to remind me that she hates vampires.
Bella is still the same, broken, weak. She talks to herself a lot but quickly shuts up when anyone comes in the room. Everyone knows she is talking to someone, maybe the chick she is the reincarnation of but Bella never says anything about it.
Thinking about Bella? Leah asked, trotting up to me. It's hard isn't it, to see her. Knowing she is not yours.
I don't want to talk about it Leah.
I understand though. She's your Sam. The one you want but can never have. I couldn't answer. I'm sorry for your pain Jacob.
Thanks Leah.
She then looked through my head at the Cullen's home and each different vampire, stopping as the picture of Anabell stayed up. It must be hard for her. Staying young for so long.
I didn't know a lot about Anabell or Ashton, only from the stories they told. Anabell is looking forward to a new sibling. I always see her with Bella time to time but never really talked to her. And even though she can't have children, she at least has love. Oh yeah, that one young boy, Skylar.
In Leah's thoughts I felt a small speck of jealousy to the young Original. What's wrong Leah?
She can't have kids but having him seems to be enough. Is that what it is like to imprint? To have someone?
You want to imprint? Why, you're mind won't be yours."
It is better that way. Imprinting would also help you forget about her.
And you want to forget about Sam?
Yes I do. She was sure of it. She really wanted to imprint. Leah is it even right to imprint.
She barked a laugh. Who knows. She had a point. As she stayed quiet I looked through her mind to find her thinking of something else. What do you mean about children?
I was just thinking that when becoming a werewolf, our body changes. My body changes. Even if I imprint I can not have any children. Her head hung down in sorrow.
You know, when this werewolf thing stops and we start aging again, your body could…go back. It was awkward talking to her about this considering she was older than me, but it seemed like the right thing to do. After all, I am the Alpha.
"Jacob," someone called. Out stepped a bored-looking Ashton with sandwiches in bags. "Esme made these for you guys to eat." Turning away I turned back human, but the pants on that he brought (his eyes stayed closed the whole time) and took the sandwiches from him. "Thank you." I walked over to Leah and set the sandwich in front of her, knowing she was not going to turn into a human anytime soon.
"She alright?" Ashton asked. I shook my head. He walked over and stood next to me. I never notice how tall he was, just standing about 6 feet 4 as he just barely an inch taller than me. He stared at Leah with intense eyes as if he wanted to say something but could not. "Wolves do not look appetizing when they sulk. They lose their beauty." Was that a compliment?
Leah growled and began trotting away, head still down. "I don't see why you hate us so much Leah," his voice was filled with hurt. "We are not soulless monsters, in a way we are the same."
She stopped, growled again and turned as if she was ready to yell but stopped and stared with wide eyes. I felt uncomfortable as the atmosphere went tense and soon realized from their eyes what happened.
Leah imprinted.
LEAH'S POV
How dare this stupid Original appear while I was like this? I hate vampires, I hate them. "She alright?" Why does he care? I heard him walk closer but refuse to look at him. He was Bella's son, Anabell's brother. I remember seeing the back of his head but that was it. I didn't care though about seeing him. Now I really want him to go away.
"Wolves do not look appetizing when they sulk. They lose their beauty." No he did not. Was he now just trying to eat me? I growled, stupid, deranged Original. I began leaving, hating his stench. "We are not soulless monsters, in a way we are the same."
That did it. How could the two of us be the same, he was nothing then a stupid vampire. A bloodsucking leech. I was ready to yell, to bark, to do whatever I could in wolf form when I stared into his red eyes and my heart skipped a beat.
Soon everything disappeared and it was just him. I felt as if a huge weight was lifted off of me and the sun shined brighter. A new feeling was inside me, one that felt warm. It was like, like, like a blind man who could finally see again. He smiled slightly, running his hand through his messy red hair. "Please don't hate us Leah, you're a good ally." With that he walked over a dropped a dress down next to me and turned around. Without thinking I turned back human and got dressed.
"You're prettier when you smile." I didn't even know I was smiling. Hearing laughter I turned and saw Anabell smiling, standing next to Jacob. "Another family member." She cheered, running off.
Family.
