Leah's point of view:
"You look beautiful tonight," Felix said, nuzzling my neck as we swayed on the dance floor. "I can't wait to get home."
I giggled as Felix kissed my neck. It seemed like we only had time for quickies and little else, and I was looking forward to having Felix to myself tonight.
"Me too," I said, kissing Felix firmly.
Felix deepened the kiss while running his hands down my back and cupping my behind.
"Felix, wait till we get home." I bit my lip to keep from moaning.
"When we get married, promise me we'll have a simple ceremony," Felix said. "I hate having so little time with you."
"I hope that's not your proposal."
"When I propose, you'll know it." Felix gave me a chaste kiss just as the song ended.
"Hope so," I said, giving him my best glare.
"You know I can't resist you when you're mad."
Felix kissed me, and I deepened it but was still mindful of the people around us. I heard a throat clear beside us. I blushed slightly to see my mother standing next to us with a big grin on her face.
"Emily is changing," Mom said. "I thought you may want to say good bye before she leaves."
"Thanks, Mom."
I kissed Felix on the cheek before following Mom into a small changing room. Emily already had her post-wedding dress on and was checking her bags before leaving.
"Why do I feel like I'm forgetting something?" Emily muttered to herself.
"Emily," I said. "You aren't forgetting anything. I packed your bags myself and triple checked them."
"Sorry, just been a million and half things I've had to do lately." Emily gave me an apologetic smile.
"Now it's time to go enjoy your honeymoon with Sam." I grinned at her earning a grin back.
"Thank you, Leah. For everything," Emily said while tears filled her eyes.
"You're welcome."
I stepped in to give her a big hug.
"When you and Felix get married, I owe you," Emily said into my ear.
"I expect nothing less," I responded.
"I'll see you in two weeks."
Emily said her goodbyes to my mom as well as her parents before being whisked off by Sam. As I watched the car drive away, I sighed realizing how tired I really was. Helping with the wedding plans, patrolling, and spending every spare second with Felix really wore me out.
"You all right, sweetie?" Mom asked me.
"Just really tired," I admitted.
"Go home and get some rest. I've noticed you've been looking tired lately," Mom said as she kissed my cheek.
"I'll see you in a few days for lunch?" I asked.
"Sounds great."
After a half an hour of cleaning up the community hall, Felix and I finally got into the car to go home. As soon as we reached the road, I undid my seat belt and moved closer to Felix to begin kissing his neck. Felix took his free arm and wrapped it around my waist, keeping his eyes on the road the whole time.
"Do you have to patrol tomorrow?" Felix asked.
"No," I muttered against his skin. "I'm yours all day."
I could feel the vibrations coming off his chest, and my skin erupted in goose bumps.
"Hurry, Felix."
Felix increased his speed as I kissed his jaw line, liking the cold feel of his skin against my lips and tongue. Not a moment too soon, Felix pulled into the driveway. As he stopped the car, I moved to straddle his lap and he leaned his seat back. His hands were everywhere as we gave each other searing kisses. Felix pulled the top of my dress down, exposing my strapless, purple bra. Reaching around behind me, I undid the bra. I needed his hands on me.
As if he read my thoughts, Felix cupped my breasts while kissing my neck. I hissed slightly as he rubbed my breasts since they felt slightly sensitive. He bit down lightly on my neck, and my hips rolled over his erection, making my needs clear. Felix's hands came to my thighs to push my dress up to expose my matching panties. I couldn't wait any more.
"Take them off," I groaned as his hand slipped into my underwear. "Please."
His long fingers tore them off, and I shivered as they moved to my slit and moved back and forth. I moaned and let my head fall back. My hips bucked against his fingers to gain friction. My own fingers dug into his dress shirt and tore it. Felix increased his speed and pressure, and I came hard against his fingers.
Panting, I leaned my head against his forehead. I placed a kiss against his temple, while I started unbuttoning his shirt. When the shirt was gone, I ran my hands over the planes of his torso, enjoying the muscles flexing under my fingers. His lips found mine again, as I unzipped his pants. I pushed my hand inside to feel his length.
I bit his lip while moving my hand up and down. I moved my hand away to push his pants down while Felix lifted his hips slightly. Once free, I positioned his length and lowered myself down on to him. I ground myself up and down, enjoying the feel of him inside of me. I squeezed myself, earning a grunt from Felix. I pushed my hips faster while of Felix's hand on my hip and the other played with my breast.
My eyes locked with Felix, and I felt shivers running throughout my whole body. I loved how close I felt to him. Felix started thrusting up, and I could feel my orgasm growing. After a few more thrusts, I felt my orgasm hit me hard. I cried out as I rode out my own pleasure, and moments later Felix came deep inside me.
I slumped against him as my breathing and heartbeat slowed down. Felix cool arms wrapped around me, and his cold skin calmed my sweaty body.
"I needed that. I needed you," Felix said, as he dropped a kiss against my shoulder.
"Me too," I told him.
I wrapped my arms around his neck while he lifted his head to give me the slow, simmering kisses that I loved. Our kisses deepened further just as a warning howl ran out. I cursed while I opened the car door and tried to untangle myself from Felix.
"I'm coming with you," Felix said as I started walking towards the woods.
"I don't want you to get in the way," I said over my shoulder.
"I won't be in the way, Leah." Felix moved his body so he was blocking my path.
"No," I replied, stubbornly. "I don't want you to get hurt."
"Let your brothers know I'm with you. I know what I'm doing, and I want to help. This is my home now too, so I can't have anything happen here either."
I searched his eyes and couldn't help but agree.
"Fine," I responded. "Will you grab me some clothes out of the truck?"
Felix nodded and headed back to the truck. I phased while Felix stuffed some of my clothes into his dress pants. Through my mind's eye, I saw my brothers chasing down two vampires. Both of them male with long, flowing hair, who were very fast, but little did they know we were faster.
Get here quick, Leah, Jacob ordered. We need you to chase them down.
Sure thing, Boss. I have Felix with me.
Jacob gave a flicker of acknowledgement before focusing his attention back on chasing the intruders. I pushed my body, which protested. A wave of exhaustion ran through me, but I ignored it. I soon caught up with my pack brothers, as did Felix who was behind me. The sickening, sweet scent of the two vampires hit me stronger than it usually did. I nearly lost my focus because of it, but I focused my mind again on the task at hand.
I noticed the vampire with brown hair staring to slow. He called out to his blond haired companion something that couldn't hear, but the blond just ignored him. The blond ran faster than any other vampire I'd seen and disappeared. Just as the slower of the two cried out just as I took him down. I bit into his cold flesh, which left an unbearable taste in my mouth, more so than usual.
Seth and Embry were on the vampire while Jake, Quil, and Felix ran past trying to find the blond. I sat down, barely having a handle on the fact that the blond couldn't be found, even through scent. I phased back to human form, not caring if my brothers saw me. I felt dizzy from my chase, and I couldn't keep my eyes open.
Seth jogged over to me and touched his wet nose to my arm. I looked up at Seth as I tried desperately to keep my focus. It was no use, and my world faded to black.
Felix's point of view:
In all of my years of hunting down vampires with the Volturi, I never saw one get away from us like that, even when Demetri wasn't using his tracking skills. The blond vampire's trail went cold; we couldn't even smell him.
After trying unsuccessfully to find him for several moments, my vision blurred. I immediately knew something was wrong with Leah, so I turned quickly back in my tracks for her. Jacob and Quil must've knew something was up too, as the copied my actions. I ran to where Seth was trying to wake Leah up while Embry made a frantic phone call.
" … she just passed out," Embry said into the phone. "I've never seen anyone do it before unless we were hurt."
"Was she bitten?" I heard Carlisle ask.
"No, she just took down a vampire, stepped back to let Seth and me finish him, phased, and passed out," Embry explained while looking at me.
At that moment, I felt like my stomach jumped into my throat. I kneeled next to Leah and gathered her in my arms.
"Please be okay. Please be okay," I whispered to her.
Leah stirred slightly in response to my voice.
"Carlisle is going to be here soon," Jacob reassured me. "Embry, Quil, I want you to run the perimeter and watch for that other vampire."
I heard the other two boys phase and run off.
"How soon?" I asked through gritted teeth, not taking my eyes off Leah's face.
"Few minutes at the most," Jacob said. "Luckily we aren't far from their house."
"How were they not aware of those two?" Seth asked while pulling on some shorts.
"I don't know," Jacob replied. "We couldn't catch the blond. It was like he vanished."
I frowned, feeling unease settle over me. It was strange that they could enter the area unnoticed and that one escaped without a trace. Not a moment too soon, Carlisle stepped into the forest with Emmett, Jasper, and Edward behind him. Seth explained the situation to the Cullens while Carlisle bent over Leah.
"Has she been having any strange illnesses lately?" Carlisle asked.
"Nothing out of ordinary, but she did complain about being tired this morning," I responded.
"I'd like to take her back to my house to run some blood tests." Carlisle lifted Leah's wrist to take her pulse. "Did she hit her head when she fainted?"
"No," Jacob replied just as the three other vampires ran into the forest.
"Did she complain to any of you during patrols of feeling poorly, even as an afterthought?" Carlisle asked.
"Maybe of being a little tired," Seth said, "but she said it was due to patrols and wedding planning."
"Well, we'll go back to the house to run some tests to see what's going on." Carlisle stood, and I followed while lifting up Leah's body.
I held her close to my chest to try to cover up her body, while Jacob and Seth handed me their shirts. We made it to the Cullen's house in a matter of minutes. We ran up the stairs to Carlisle's office just as Leah started to stir. I gently place Leah on a make shift bed while Carlisle gathered his needed tools.
"Leah?" Can you hear me?" I asked.
Her face scrunched up before her eyes fluttered open.
"What happened?" Leah asked.
"You passed out," I explained. "We're at the Cullens' house."
Carlisle stepped over and started asking Leah some standard questions while checking her eyes with a pen light.
"I'm going to test some of your blood," Carlisle said when he was through with his questioning. "I have a theory as to why you passed out as well as why you've been exhausted lately."
Leah nodded and closed her eyes as Carlisle drew Leah's blood.
"I should have answers for you by morning, Leah," Carlisle said when he was finished.
Leah nodded again while I ran my fingers through her short haircut. My fingers ran down the side of her beautiful face, down her neck, and to her arms where I drew patterns on them. I worried about her; she did look tired.
"That feels good," Leah said, smiling up at me, but her smile faded as she took in the look on my face. "Hey, what's wrong?"
"I'm worried about you," I confessed.
"I'm okay, Felix. I just need to sleep."
I gave her a skeptical look just as Carlisle stepped back into the room.
"You should get some sleep, Leah. You're welcome to stay in a guest bedroom," Carlisle said, placing his hand on Leah's arm.
I held Leah's hand while we made our way to the guest bedroom across the hall. It had a large bed in the middle, which Leah fell right asleep in. I watched her face as I held her close to me. I was worried about her. I wondered what the tests results would be, and if it was anything dangerous or life threatening. Many hours later, Leah slowly woke up and turned over in my arms.
"How are you feeling?" I asked, kissing her forehead.
"Better," Leah replied as she stretched. "I'm starving though."
I kissed Leah before we walked down stairs to the kitchen holding hands. We sat down at the table where Leah's tired looking brothers were eating piles of food. I placed my arm around Leah as she ate her food, and we talked quietly about our failed capture of the mysterious vampire. Even after searching for hours, finding the vampire seemed impossible.
"We'll all keep an eye out," Carlisle said, finally. "We'll even keep an extra eye out around our house and the Forks area while the pack does the same in LaPush. I'm sure you'll alert Sam's pack?"
"Of course," Jacob said. "I'll help patrol around Forks as well."
"You know we'll keep an eye on Nessie, Jacob," Edward said.
"I know. I need to do it for my own peace of mind," Jacob replied.
"Certainly, and it may be beneficial to have you run near the house and have a connection with the pack," Carlisle interjected. "I think we've talked long enough. You boys are welcome to stay here to sleep, and I'm sure Esme will have plenty for you to eat when you wake up."
The boys stood and made their way upstairs practically dragging their feet, many of the Cullens made their way to various parts of the houses as well.
"We need to go upstairs to discuss your tests results, Leah," Carlisle said as he moved besides us.
I looked at Leah, who swallowed nervously. I took her hand and she relaxed slightly. I continued to hold Leah's hand as we made our way up to Carlisle's office. We sat down in the seats across from his desk as Carlisle took the seat behind the desk, giving us a warm smile.
I'm sure he wouldn't be smiling if it was something bad, I thought, but that was before the bombshell.
"Leah, you're pregnant," Carlisle said.
