Jacob's POV
Emily's eyes widened as Sam whispered her name. She hesitantly stepped inside and wiped her feet on the welcome mat.
"I'm sorry to interrupt things but I just wanted to speak with Sam," Emily said looking nervously around the room. I glanced over at Leah who was now standing up to face Emily. I wasn't going to hold Leah back this time. I usually tried to calm her down before she hurt someone's feelings, but Emily deserved to be chewed out today.
"You need to speak with Sam? Since when," Leah asked folding her arms across her chest. When Leah folded her arms, it was a sign that things were about to get ugly.
"Leah this is between Sam and I. I want to speak with him alone," Emily replied softly. I had never heard Emily raise her voice, since I knew her. She always had a calm voice, no matter what the situation was.
"Did you forget this is my house? If you want to speak with Sam you could have called him. I'm pretty sure he doesn't want to speak with you anyway. You left without saying anything remember," Leah asked Emily.
Emily looked past Leah and at Sam, who was staring at her as if he had never seen her before.
"Sam," Emily called out.
"What are you doing here Emily? Did you leave something behind when you decided to book town," Sam asked. He stood up and stood next to Leah, who still had her arms folded with a scowl on her face.
"Yes I did leave something behind. My heart," Emily replied.
"You've got to be kidding me," Leah chuckled. " Jake do you hear what she is saying?"
"Emily what are you really here for? No one has seen you in ages and you decide to pop up on the whim," I said finally shutting the front door.
"To see Sam."
"But why," I asked her.
Emily's eyes watered. "I made a huge mistake by leaving him here. I-I need to be here with him."
Sam looked away from Emily, I'm assuming because he wanted to avoid the imprint making him give in.
"Sam listen to me." Emily grabbed one of Sam's hands. "I love you more than anything and I'm so sorry."
"I think it's best that you leave and don't come back. You betrayed me, broke my heart, and worst of all you aborted my child. I can't be with a woman that I don't trust," Sam replied making eye contact with Emily.
"I'm your imprint sure enough, but I'm also your wife Sam."
"We might still be legally married, but you're not my wife Emily. I don't count you as anything to me at this point. I'm tired of pawning after you, I've made myself sick because of it." Sam snatched his hand away from Emily. "May I please have my ring back? When I save up my money, I will be divorcing your ass. As for now, I would like for you to leave and not return." Emily slowly placed her ring in Sam's hand. Sam accepted the ring and turned on his heel, walking out of the living room. Emily stood in a state of shock and confusion.
"I don't understand why you thought you could come back and run into Sam's arms," Leah said shaking her head.
"You brainwashed him didn't you? You made him hate me," Emily cried out.
"Emily don't be ridiculous. He doesn't hate you, but you're not his favorite person at this point. You left him here, knowing the imprint withdrawal would be excruciating. Leah has nothing to do with the way Sam feels about you. That was your own doing," I explained to Emily. Tears rolled down her cheeks and she sobbed lightly.
"You should go back home. There is no point of you staying here because Sam doesn't want you here," Leah added.
"I can't go back home," Emily cried.
"Why not," I asked.
"My father said I wasn't allowed to come back home if I left again. I can't go back now and I have no where to stay."
"So you're telling me, you came back to La Push thinking Sam was going to let you live with him. Come on Emily, you are smarter than that, at least I thought you were. I don't know what to tell you. You better beg to get back home," Leah replied.
"I thought we were family Lee. I thought we were better than this," Emily said wiping her tears.
"Since when? We haven't been better since the whole Sam incident. You betrayed me and you expect me to kiss your ass?"
"Mommy," A'Liyah came out of her room and JJ was close on her heels.
"Yes honey."
"Who is this," A'Liyah pointed towards Emily.
"She's your cousin Emily," Leah replied.
Emily wiped the last of her tears and stormed out of the house, slamming the door behind her.
"Is she gone," Sam asked from the kitchen.
"Yep," I replied.
Leah's POV
The Cullen Mansion
Since A'Liyah was Dakota's imprint, we let them see each other often. JJ and Dakota were becoming good friends and Dakota was like another brother to A'Liyah. Jacob was more comfortable with the imprint now, since Dakota was acting as a brother toward A'Liyah. I warned him that in the future their relationship could turn into something more than a brother/sister relationship. Jacob often shunned off my assumption because he thought he could put a end to any romantic relationship forming between Dakota and A'Liyah. The thought of him trying to stop that from happening amused me. I had a feeling that their relationship would blossom into something more serious. It didn't bother me any because Dakota was a good kid and he meant well.
"Thank goodness you're here, Dakota has been asking about A'Liyah," Esme said as she let us in.
"I figured he would be asking about her so I brought her over to see him. JJ has been dying to show him his new cars too," I said letting go of A'Liyah's hand.
"Where's everyone at," Jacob asked looking around the empty living room.
"Out hunting. I went hunting earlier with Carlisle and he's at the hospital now. Dakota is upstairs in his room."
The four of us climbed the steps to Dakota's room. His door was cracked open and I knocked lightly.
"Come in," he called out.
"Hey there Kota, look who is here to see you," I replied leading A'Liyah inside.
Dakota's eye lit up and he gave A'Liyah a tight hug. JJ growled behind Jacob and cleared his throat to play off his irritation.
"Hi Kota. I got some new cars," JJ said holding up his backpack.
"Cool, my Uncle Jasper got me some new ones too. Wanna see them," Dakota asked excitedly.
"Sure," JJ ran to Dakota's toy chest. Dakota grabbed A'Liyah's hand and walked over to the toy chest where JJ was digging for cars.
"We should go see if Esme has heard any more news about Zafrina," Jacob said grabbing my hand.
"You kids play safe," I said.
"Has that Zafrina chick called anymore," Jacob asked Esme once we reached the bottom of the steps.
"Nope. She hasn't called since the other day. She told us she will try to keep contact with us on a weekly basis," Esme explained.
"I got a question. Why doesn't she just kill Tony and get it over with? What is the long wait for," I asked.
"Zafrina is the type that loves adventures. She likes to play with her prey instead of pouncing on it at first sight. Don't worry she knows what she is doing."
"You vampires are weird," Jacob stated.
Esme giggled. "We have odd ways, but so do you wolves."
Zafrina's POV
"When are you going to start the army. We've waited five years and I think it's time," Tony asked pacing back and forth.
"I don't work on your time, I'm working on mine. Don't rush the process, it's harder than you think," I replied sharply. Tony stopped in front of me and leaned down, stroking my cheek with his hot hand.
"Baby, it's been long enough. The boy is old enough and he has been phasing for years. He needs to be with me, I'm his family," Tony said leaning in close to my face. His hot breath trickled over my cool lips.
"We shall wait even longer. He needs to get stronger and learn how to fight. I'm sure the Alpha of the Quileute tribe will teach him fighting skills. Then you won't have to teach him a thing," I said licking Tony's bottom lip.
"I will teach him to end that pack and the Cullens."
"Hmmm. You have more family back home, you don't need to end the Cullens and the Quileute tribe. Let me do that for you," I said grabbing the sides of Tony's face. He smirked at me and pressed his lips roughly against mine.
"You taste so good," Tony mumbled against my lips.
"Be patient with me love, I'll get those precious Cullens and mutts back for you. No one hurt my Tony," I whispered pulling my shirt over my head.
Leah's POV
The twins were sound asleep when we got them home. Dakota didn't want A'Liyah to go and it took us about ten minutes to get her out of the house. He asked if he could stay with us or if A'Liyah could stay there.
Dakota was supposed to be living with us at this time, but Nessie had not gone off to Italy yet. When ever she left is when Dakota would come live with us until her return.
"Are they sound asleep," Jacob asked as I shut the door to the twins' room.
"Yep, they're sleeping like babies," I replied.
"Did you check to see if JJ was fully sleep because you know how he gets up and starts playing with cars when we leave the room."
"He's knocked out. I think their play date with Kota wore them both out." Jacob pulled me down on the couch with him.
"Wanna watch a movie or something. I'm not really sleepy yet," Jacob asked rubbing my hip.
"Sure pop one in. I'm sure I will fall asleep, I'm pooped."
Jacob put in The Devil Wears Prada, one of my all time favorite films.
"Awww you put in a chick flick just for me," I asked laying my head on his lap.
"I figured I'd give you a break from all my action films," Jacob replied. He ran his hands through my thick hair.
"Do you realize how long we've been together," I asked randomly.
"Six years to be exact. Why?"
"I was just thinking about it this morning. We've been together a long time," I replied.
"Leah that was really random. Where did that come from?" Jacob chuckled.
"I told you I was thinking about it this morning. Six years is a long time and I never imagined us being together that long."
"I guess if you do think about it has been a long time. Too bad a certain person still doesn't want to marry me," Jacob replied.
I sighed. "It's not that I don't want to marry you Jake. You know why I-"
"I get it Lee," Jacob replied sharply.
"I'm not saying that I'll never marry you."
"Yea of course."
"Can we please not end this night on a bad note," I asked sitting up to look at Jacob. I grabbed his face between my hands. "Jake?"
"I'm not mad," Jacob replied pecking my lips. I could feel the tension in his lips, he was definitely upset.
Seth's POV
"When do you want to meet my family," I asked pulling up to Gloria's house.
"Shouldn't I be asking you when I'll meet them," Gloria chuckled.
"Probably, but I was making sure you were ready to do that."
"Seth we've been on and off for five years. More on, than off I must say. I've always been ready to meet your family. It's you that's been holding out on introducing me to your folks," Gloria replied.
"I promise you will meet them soon. I'm just waiting to tell you something first, something that you'll need to know," I explained.
"Sethy what are you talking about," Gloria asked flashing me a smile.
"It's something you need to know about me and my family before you meet them. I'll tell you soon, but tonight wouldn't be a good time."
"Oooookay. You're scaring me a little but I guess I'll get over it. I'll see you later," Gloria said. She pecked my cheek and got out of the car.
"I love you."
"I love you too Seth." She blew a kiss and ran up to her front door.
I had to tell her about us being shape-shifters. I couldn't keep her away from my family forever. This was someone I could see myself with in the future, so that meant she had to know about what I was. My only fear was that I would run her off.
Whew, finally got that written. It took me two days to write and it's not even that long.
So what do you all think of Gloria? Do you think she will be freaked out by the whole wolf thing?
I will try to bring a little bit of Lydia into next chapter, so people can get a feel for her. Emily is not gone either, she is actually in for a long stay. Hahaha. Let's see how this plays out. Should Sam take her back or get with Lydia?
Will this marriage thing continue to cause problems between Leah and Jacob?
