Special Arrangement

Chap5: We'll Think it Over but You Must be Punished

LPOV

"Well as I was saying imprints aren't protected by the treaty and can be asked to leave or banished if the council orders it. If they are banished there has to be a valid reason of course they can't just be banished for the heck of it."-Sam said

"So what are you asking of us?"-Old Quil asked. Sam turned his head slightly looking at Jacob before turning back to Old Quil.

"The Cullens have caused nothing but trouble since they returned and have cost a pack brother and humans their lives because of a vampire who was after them or one of their "visitors" lost control and killed a human or attacked one of the wolves because they were taken off guard by our existence. The only reason they have been allowed to stay is because Jacob imprinted on the de-Nessie, so we had to respect their bond and couldn't hurt him by making them leave. However said imprint is nothing but a spoiled manipulating brat who plays on the imprint using Jacob to do whatever she wants even if it puts others in danger. She has caused nothing but hardship since before she was born and Bella is no better. I think there are several merits to banishing her and the Cullens, we've been patient and lenient, but enough is enough and it's time they go."-everyone remained quiet and turned their attention to the council who appeared to be thinking it over.

"You make a very interesting argument, but I have to ask what that would mean for Jacob and his imprint."-Billy said eyeing Jacob who was taking deep breaths to control himself.

"Well that's up to Jacob."-Sam said shrugging obviously not caring

"Jacob?"-Old Quil said

"You aren't actually considering this are you? She's my imprint I can't live without her! You don't see me asking to have Emily or Kim banished."-Jacob said hoarsely

Jared jumped to his feet and growled

"Don't you dare bring Kim into this!"-he shouted, but reluctantly sat down when Sam pointed at the spot he was sitting.

"This has nothing to do with Kim or Emily."-Sam said turning to Jacob

"Maybe not Kim, but what about Emily I mean if she's willing to stab her own cousin in the back and take her fiancée and force him to become her husband knowing that's not what he truly wanted who's to say she won't stab us in the back or cause trouble for anyone else."-he said standing up and Sam growled, but I actually had to agree even though he was reaching with that one and trying to make Sam mad, but still I hate Emily as much as if not more than Jacob, so I'm for Emily bashing and down for banishing her too. I smiled imagining her crying while carrying a tray of muffins to the curb. Seth nudged me and I stopped smiling and paid attention.

"Jacob sit down and Sam stop growling. There's a major difference in Nessie and Emily for one Emily can't kill you with one bite."-Sue said

"Neither can Nessie she doesn't have venom in her system."-Jacob said defensively and a little arrogant and I scoffed and of course he glared at me, so I smiled and he glared harder.

"How do we know it hasn't manifested these past few years; that other half breed was venomous, so there's no telling if she is."-Old Quil interjected and there were murmurs of agreement.

"She isn't!"-Jacob said aggressively

"Okay let's find out if she is by letting her bite Billy on the arm and see what happens."-Paul said and everybody looked at him like he was crazy and Jacob's eyes widened.

"What, no way are you crazy!"-Jacob yelled disbelievingly

"Why not, according to you she isn't venomous and since you're so sure- what better way to prove it by using the only person you actually give a damn about to prove you're right."-Paul said smugly and I looked at him surprised at his brilliance. Jacob sat back and put his head down looking like a lost puppy.

"That's what I thought."-Paul said scoffing

"Dad, Sue, Old Quil you can't seriously be considering this?"-Jacob said desperately hands pulling at his hair.

"This information changes everything son and we'll think it over and make a decision based off of what's best for our people and the surrounding area not the Cullens."-Billy said with a hint of remorse knowing what this was doing to Jacob.

"Dad please! The Cullens should at least know what's going on."-Jacob said just as desperately as he spoke before. I glanced at Sam quickly when he turned to face Jacob and I froze realizing what he was about to say and hoping he wouldn't ment-

"The Cullens already know."-he said gruffly and Jacob's head snapped up and he stood looking at Sam confused.

"What do you mean they already know? You just found this loophole and told us about it."-he said with his brow raised and Sam grinned.

"Actually I found it two days ago and I just told all of you about, but I've already spoken to Carlisle and told him what will most likely happen."-he shrugged and Jacob growled a little

"You've already talked to them and you didn't even tell the council; how could you? You don't know what their decision will be and the Cullens will never agree to this!"-Jacob said, but it appeared he was trying to convince himself of this more than inform Sam. It was clear Jacob was becoming distraught.

"Actually they would have no choice but to leave or we'd be in our right to kill every one of those blood suckers half breed or not and the only reason they've probably been so cocky is because they were hiding behind the imprint and thought they were privileged because that demon is their daughter. So they thought they could stay rather we liked it or not and assumed the treaty protected her inadvertently protecting them not to mention it wouldn't be the first time you were willing to kill one of us over a leech. Besides Carlisle said he understood and that he knew eventually they would have to leave and he would let his family know what was going on and to respect our decision."-Sam said and Jacob shook his head vehemently.

"No he didn't he would never do that."-he whispered. I actually kind of felt bad for him I mean it must suck to imprint on a demon and now he was about to lose her…oh well.

"Yes he did we heard him loud and clear."-Sam said- oh shit I tried to hide but obviously there was nothing to hide behind. Jacob scrunched his face and skimmed the crowed.

"What do you mean we?"-He said lowly and I gulped

"Both Leah and I were there when I spoke to Carlisle."-Sam said and everyone turned to me and Jacob looked at me wide eyed then narrowed them.

"You knew this was going to happen and not only did you know, but you were there?"-Jacob yelled stalking toward me. Seth jumped in front of me growling as did Brady and Sam blocked his path.

Oh yeah I forgot to mention I'm the only one out of all of us who knew what Sam had discovered and was going to say tonight and didn't tell anyone. Sam called or should I say demanded a meeting with Carlisle early morning two days ago while everyone on the rez was asleep and told him about the loophole.

I was on patrol when Sam crossed onto our territory and met with Carlisle in the woods, but I didn't stop him because honestly I could give a rat's ass what happens to the 'Cullens if Sam decided to kill them. I followed him to the clearing where they met and I was surprised he didn't sense me or thought he didn't until I saw him eye me in a side glance, but he kept going and so did I. He and Carlisle talked and he told him about the loophole and that more than likely his family will have to leave or face certain death. Carlisle surprisingly agreed it was probably for the best and even apologized for all the events that his family has caused. He and his wife are the only ones I can tolerate if absolutely necessary, but he still needs to go. They finished their conversation and Sam came over to me and I phased and walked him back to the treaty line as he told me what he planned to do and asked me not to say anything because he wanted everyone to find out the same time and by him since he was the one who found it. I agreed and we said our goodbyes.

"Well yeah I knew, but Sam asked me not to say anything so I didn't."-I replied nonchalantly.

"I'm your fucking alpha not Sam your loyalty is to me or do you want me to rid my pack your dead weight?"-he said and I scoffed

"Oh the horror!"-I said rolling my eyes and he growled

"I might not have been serious all those other times, but I am now you fucking traitor."-he hissed and I gave him the finger while plastering a smile on my face.

"Jacob"-Sue said in warning

"It's not like it matters anyway it would have changed nothing and I'd be happy to have Leah back if she would have us."-Sam said and Jacob started growling and shaking so bad he started to blur.

"You can't fucking have her she's mine, MINE!"-he roared but thankfully the guys pulled them apart before there was a replay of earlier, but I was still scared because this time I wouldn't be able to help if needed. Billy wheeled to the middle of the group and put his hands up.

"That's enough! You know what Jacob I'm tired of this; you go out of your way defending the Cullens and putting your life on the line and what do they give you in return?"-Billy asked in a tired voice and Jacob was about to speak, but shut his mouth when he could think of nothing. Billy sighed

"See you can't even think of anything. Jacob I love you and although things are…strained I'm sure everyone here does and would give their life defending you-" I scoffed and Paul shook his head in agreement, but one look from Sue had me shutting up.

"But that's because they know the real Jacob Black who would never fight one of his own and put everyone in danger and for no reason at that. I know that Jacob is in here- hell we all do why do you think the guys stayed in your pack? Even Leah!"-Jacob glanced at me and I turned my head "Because they know you're in there and they're waiting for you the real you to wake up from this haze you've been in ever since Bella came back to Forks."-Billy said softly with his hand on Jacob's arm. Jacob looked up with tears in his eyes and plopped down on the ground with his head in his hands. I actually felt bad for him and I noticed everyone else's appearance soften if only slightly as well.

"What am I supposed to do? I don't like being like this or putting everyone in danger, but I can't help it."-Jacob said in a small voice and Seth went and kneeled down beside him and put his arm around him.

"You change, you take the pain that comes with saying no to an imprint and you dig deep and get back the Jake I know the one I used have a bromance with."-Seth said smiling and there were chuckles from our pack as they went over to him.

"We'll help, but only if you want to help yourself. No more bullshit dude or we're done."-Embry said holding out his hand to help him up which Jake took and stood up and dust himself off.

Jacob looked at me for a long moment, but I remained emotionless.

"I'm sorry Leah"-he said softly and I knew for sure he meant it this time, so I nodded stiffly still mad and plus in too much pain, but I wasn't going to show it.

"I'll believe it when I see it."-Paul said crossing his arms

"This won't sway our decision Jacob we'll still decide based off what's best for everyone."-Sue said and Jacob's jaw locked and his eyes went black but he remained still.

"I'm sorry to have to do this, but because you almost killed us, attacked Sam, and injured Leah you have to be punished."-Billy said wheeling over to me and everyone got a little excited.

"Now we're talking."-Vince one of Sam's pups said and Jacob growled

"What's going to happen to me?"-Jacob asked with his head down

"I don't know that depends on what Leah decides."-Billy said and everyone's head, including mine, snapped to him.

"What!"-came from everyone- some happy, some nervous, and of course disbelieving from Jacob.

"Yes Leah I think after what you've done to her she has the right to decide your punishment."-Billy said and I gawked at him not believing he just gave me this magnificent power.

"Dad no I'll do anything you want- take any punishment you give, but not Leah God not Leah!"-Jacob said panicked and I smirked

"Sorry son your actions have consequences and this is it."-Billy said turning to me and I couldn't wipe the grin off my face as I thought of the perfect punishment.

"That's not fair Sam hurt her to."-Jacob said like a child and Sam's eyes widened

"Uh -UN she already made me her slave until she's healed so it's all you rightful alpha."-Sam said shaking his head vehemently while backing away with his hands up.

"Well Jacob you hurt me bad and almost killed my mother and you treat me like shit. Yes I hate you to my core and you me, but as your beta you could at least show me some respect or back my decisions. You treat the packs like we're your salves and the Cullens as well and never offer any gratitude and I think you need some alone time to think about what you've been doing."-I paused for dramatic affect and everyone held their breath and Jacob looked like he was going to shit himself.

"Jacob Black for offense you've committed against me and your people I punish you by banning you from seeing your imprint for a month."-I was smiling so hard I thought my skin would rip. Everyone gasped and there were a few laughs from Paul and some of Sam's pups.

"WHAT!"-Jacob roared but I didn't flinch

"You heard me fucker and I mean no seeing, patrolling, or going near their lands you're confined to La Push and La Push only. Oh and we don't patrol their land either let them deal with it nor will we send messages back and forth for you either."-I said without wiping the smile off my face. He started to shake and growl.

"No I won't do it you're a bitch Leah you know what that could do to me?"-Jacob said trying to shoot fire out of his eyes to burn me. I shrugged

"Turn you back into a considerate human instead of a monkey's ass?"-I tilted my head paused then started laughing.

"Jacob it's harsh but it will be done you have no one to blame but yourself."-Sue said

"Bu-"

"Leah has made her decision."-Billy said as he smiled at me and nodded, but got a worried look when he glanced at Jacob.

"Seth help me get Leah to the car so I can get her home and redress her wounds."-Sue said

"I'll help"- Sam said walking towards me, but Jacob grabbed his arm

"You're corrupting her and turning her against me. You stay the hell away from my Leah she's mine and if you don't get that through your head I'll put my fist through it instead."-Jacob said growling low and that scared the shit out of me. Paul and Jared flanked Sam and Quil and Embry flanked Jacob tugging on his arm to get him to move.

"Did you forget you already have an owner, Leah is only your beta not your property or anything else for that matter, but you've made it perfectly clear you don't want her in your pack or being your beta. I'll go near her as much as I feel like and there's nothing you can do about it. It's not like you'd notice anyway you'll be too busy sleeping in your doggy bed at the Cullens waiting for Nessie to give you a treat-oh wait I guess you won't."-Sam smirked and Jacob started shaking like crazy

"The meeting is over everyone go home and get some rest and whoever is on patrol go now. No one is to talk about this until we make our decision."-Billy said ending the meeting.

Jacob sent Sam one last glare before phasing and ripping his shorts as he took off into the woods. My pack sans Seth made an attempt to go after him but Billy stopped them.

"No let him go; this is for the best, but I think we're simply going to have to step in and take matters into our own hands."-Billy said sighing and quickly glanced at me before wheeling away.

"What do you mean take matt-"

"Come on Lee let's get you home."-Seth said cutting me off as he and Embry helped me up.

"Sam's going to take Billy home since Jacob obviously can't."-Embry said

I looked towards the woods when I heard a painful howl then back towards Billy. What the hell is that old man up to?
