Special Arrangement

Chap19: Who Is It

I wrapped my arm around her waist and she jumped.

"Sorry I'm just making sure you don't fall."-I mumbled

"Sure you are."-Paul said smirking and Leah growled and started arguing with him.

As they argued I tried calming my rapidly beating heart as my house came into view up ahead and slow my breathing. Leah punched Paul in the jaw affectively ending their argument. She turned to me laughing and smiling, very proud of herself. I smiled and nudged her with my shoulder and felt electricity jolt through my body and all but melted. She gasped and stiffened for a moment and when she started trying to walk again but tripped and I quickly shot my hands out to grab her.

"I'm beginning to think you're doing that on purpose just so I can wrap my arms around you."-and I'm loving it I added in my head. She rolled her eyes and straightened out.

"It's this stupid ankle and dumb ass sticks."-she huffed

"Well just be more careful you're starting to charter into Bella territory."-I said and it was true all Bella did, well does, is trip and fall. You'd think being a vampire would have cured her of that. Leah paused and looked at me with murder in her eyes.

"Did you just compare me to Bella?"-she asked in a dangerous voice.

"Protect your nose!"-Paul said through his hand that was holding his broken nose as it healed. I shook my head vehemently as did wolf Jacob who I could feel was glaring at me.

"Good,"-she said as she squinted her eyes.

"Aren't you going to hit him?"-Paul asked

"Why don't you shut the fuck up!"-I said

"If I get hit you get hit."-he said

"No I'm not going to hit him."-she said and I smiled smugly at Paul who scowled at me, but when I turned my head I swear I saw her wink at him. We were just by my house now.

"So Leah you want to tell me what my new added punishment is?"-Sam asked

"Nope,"-she said grinning evilly.

"Please I'm begging you. I need time to prepare."-he begged

"Oh trust me there is no amount of preparing you can do to be ready for this one."-she laughed callously and Sam looked terrified.

"Leah pl-"-suddenly he stopped and sniffed the air and looked confused.

"What is she doing here?"-he mumbled to himself.

"Who is it?"-Paul asked on alert; Leah sniffed the air and her eyes squinted.

"What the fuck is she doing here?"-Leah growled and pushed away from me and sped as fast as she could to my house with Sam on her tail trying to calm her down. When Paul and I ran after them and hit the door that's when we realized who they smelled.

Leah quieted her footsteps and tiptoed into the kitchen.

"But it's not right Billy. Leah is punishing them for something they can't control. Her jealousy and hateful behavior towards me and the imprints is causing discord between the packs; she doesn't understand or like imprinting. The council needs to reverse her punishment so Jacob and Sam can get back to their own lives."-Emily said to Billy as they sat at the kitchen table with Rachel sitting quietly next to Billy. I was suddenly very fearful for Emily's life and furious she was here trying to get Leah to take back her punishment. Wait…what?

"You mean get back to you."-Billy said. He looked annoyed and tired and that just further pissed me off.

"Well he would get back to spending time with me yes but that's not the point."-she said but he cut her off.

"Yes that is the point Emily. You want Sam back but from what I see and hear by the time you're home from working at the bakery Sam's on his way home anyway so there's not really a difference in the time he spends with you. Sue has already told you we allowed this and you have absolutely no say in this matter or any other matter involving the pack or council business. Leah isn't jealous of you or any other imprint if anything like she's said she pities you. Besides, it's obvious her and Jacob seem to have a thing anyway."-he said as he took a sip of his drink with a slight smile on his face and I almost chocked on air. What is this foolishness he's talking about?!

"No they don't Jacob is imprinted and Leah of all people should know you can't break an imprint."-Emily said confidently. I could feel Leah's anger in waves as Sam struggled to hold her back. I moved over to her and pulled her from him and surprisingly she calmed down quickly but kept quiet to listen.

"How do you know?"-Billy said crossing his arms. Emily opened and closed her mouth.

"Well…you can't."-she said

"Says who?"-Billy asked raising a brow.

"The legends!"-Emily said flustered. I could hear her heart beat faster and smell her sweating.

"That's true,"-Billy said nodding and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"But they also say only men phase."-he said and I could see him holding in a smile. What the hell is he up to? Emily's eyes widened.

"It's impossible; if imprints could be broken Sam would have broken it to be with Leah."-Emily said

"Come now Emily you have to know that Sam didn't even try. None of the boys have. We've told them over and over an imprint can't be broken so they took it as fact and never fought it, but we don't know what would happen if they ever truly tried."-he said and me, Paul and Sam looked at each other.

"Sam wouldn't,"-she said quietly.

"No, Sam wouldn't."-Billy said assured and she smiled relieved.

"He wouldn't because there is no way Leah would take him back now after everything that's happened, but if he thought he had a shot…"-he shrugged and Emily swallowed.

"But like I said he won't so don't worry you're stuck with him."-he chuckled and sat forward getting back to business.

"Never the less we will not reverse Leah's decision and you coming here after Sue told you as much and going behind her back is disrespectful and will not be tolerated."-he said in his chief's voice and it almost felt like an alpha command. Had the CUllens showed back here when he was younger he would have been alpha, so he must have some alpha power within. That would explain why I always felt and feel compelled to do what he said and why my wolf respects him so much.

Emily hung her head in shame as she should have.

"I don't want to hear any more from you about this and I don't want to hear you bad mouthing Leah. You're an ok girl Emily, but Leah, she's like my daughter and she's Quileute and you're from another nation all together. The only reason you even know about our legends being true is because of Sam imprinting on you. Those in the Quileute nation who aren't wolves or council aren't allowed to know our legends are true and outsiders aren't even allowed to know about our legends period. You are an outsider in the know Emily, and you need to remember your place because this blatant show of disrespect to our nation, elders and protectors will not be tolerated. Am I clear?"-Billy said

"Yes I am sorry I understand and will not be disrespectful again."-she said with her head still down.

"Good because if there is an again I doubt you'll live long enough to make that mistake again."-Leah said, pulling away from me and Billy and Emily gasped.

"Oh Leah, Jacob I didn't know you kids were here."-Billy said lamely and I looked at him and he just took a sip of his drink.

"Leah-"

"Who the fuck do you think you are going around trying to undermine me or going behind my mother's back? I should snatch you bald!"-Leah shouted and began shaking as she stalked towards Emily. Sam reached for her but she shrugged him off.

"Leah calm-"

"I've had it with your self righteous attitude or you going around pretending to be so sweet and innocent. I used to fall for it until I saw you with your tongue jammed down my fiancé's mouth! That's the day I realized what a backstabbing bitch you really are!"-Leah seethed and Sam got in front of Emily as Paul wheeled Billy out of the way and moved him and Rachel to the corner, blocked by the cabinet so they'd be safe just in case.

"I didn't have a choice he imprinted on me!"-Emily shouted as tears sprang to her eyes but they must have been tears of fear because I could smell fear rolling off of her. Leah snarled.

"How long are you going to hide behind that pitiful excuse? You know damn well you could weren't forced to be with him or feel the pull. You chose to stab me in the back just like now as you choose to stab mom in the back."-Leah shouted. Emily believe it or not came from behind Sam, glaring at Leah, to stand in front of him looking fit to be tied; this will not end pretty.

"You know what, I'm tired of you treating me like I'm beneath you or like I'm some scarlet and having to constantly apologize to you."-she seethed

"You never apologized to begin with!"-Leah roared

"Well maybe if you were taking care of Sam like you should have been he wouldn't have had to imprint and come to me."-Emily said and in a flash Leah growled and jumped over the table, but thankfully because of her injured ankle she fell short of Emily. Emily had the nerve to look surprised and jumped as Sam pushed her behind him. Leah quickly reached around him and yanked Emily forward affectively pulling out some of her hair and slammed her face into the table, but seemed to restrain from using her wolf strength regardless of her anger. Sam tried to get her off but her couldn't. Leah then pulled Emily's bloody face up and slapped he shit out of her but again was able to not use her wolf strength. Emily screamed and fell back crying, clutching her face.

I leaped and grabbed Leah as she made another grab for her and pulled her back. Emily was screaming and clinging to Sam who had picked her up and shielded her with his body while I tried to pull Leah away.

"I've had it with her! Let me go! I told you not to fuck with me. You think I give a shit your human or a fucking imprint bitch!"-Leah yelled as she kicked.

"You're an animal."-Emily whispered crying and Leah paused before shaking heavily and my wolf told me to get her out of the house, so I picked her up and ran out the back door where she burst into her wolf as soon as I released her.

"Leah,"-was all I could say. I mean she had every right to be furious and if I were to tell her to calm down she would only become more enraged.

She growled and paced the back yard and made a few attempts to get past me to get back into the house. When she accepted she couldn't she pawed at the ground like a bull as she continued to growl. My own wolf was furious and was begging to come to the surface and rip Emily apart then Sam for not curbing his bitch. In Leah's defense this was a long time coming since Sam imprinted on Emily and how Emily thinks she is an alpha too or just as important as Sam because she's not just an imprint but an alpha's imprint.

I had to take breaths to calm my quivering hands and try to calm my wolf who was making me snarl. I heard people moving around quickly in the house and tried to further calm myself. My wolf and I turned our attention to comforting Leah. When she appeared calm enough to approach I slowly walked over to her; she growled at me and I stopped and slowly sat on the ground and watched her.

"You were right about her."-I said and she snorted no doubt saying of course I was right.

"She's provoked you throughout the years and no one has ever really called her out on it until now and it shouldn't have taken that long. You have no reason to be blamed for any of what happened and I'll back you if anyone says otherwise."-I said and she sat down on her hind legs and huffed.

"I think you've handled yourself really well and even in there showed great restraint while whooping her ass."-I smiled and she rolled her eyes.

"I owe you an apology."-I said and she tilted her head.

"I owe you an apology for the way I treated you in the past about her and for what I said about you. None of us ever really took the time to see it from your point of view no matter how many times you told us to. We were wrong, I was wrong and I see now you were right and I'm sorry. Seth shouldn't have been the only one to have had sympathy for you and you shouldn't have and still shouldn't be treated like an outcast."-I said sincerely and she shook out her fur before laying her head on her paws. I slowly reached out and pet her. Her fur is silk if I ever felt it. She closed her eyes and let me pet her and I could feel she was beginning to calm down. I was still angry at Emily as was wolf Jacob, but talking to and petting Leah calmed me down.

"Did you just purr?'-I asked laughing and she growled and nipped me; wolf Jacob became excited.

"Just because you're in wolf form doesn't mean I won't bite you back."-I said and she snorted. I jumped up and bit her on the neck and she yelped and jumped to her feet and hit me with her huge paw, nocking me down. I laughed and she lolled her tongue out in a wolf smile and suddenly I felt her shimmer and a naked Leah was before me.

"Shit,"-She hissed and I quickly grabbed a sheet from the line before we had another episode of me going all weird and molesting her with my eyes and thoughts. I came back over and wrapped it around her from behind.

"Thanks,"-she said red faced.

"You're welcome,"-I smiled and noticed her standing oddly and looked down realizing she phased when she wasn't supposed to.

"Leah-"

"How could she?"-I heard Emily cry from the front lawn. I growled and blurred. I was completely at my end with Emily's attitude and now she was playing a victim when she started this whole mess and provoked a wolf. She even caused Leah to phase again which hurt her ankle all over again. At that point my wolf and I became enraged and I phased and my wolf set his eyes for the front lawn where Emily was. I moved but felt something yank on my tail and pull me back. I turned growling to see Leah holding on to me, shaking her head. I turned my head back when I heard Emily's cries muffle and a car speed off. Leah came up next to me and pet me.

"Just let her go."-she said quietly. I huffed but just as it did for her the more she pet me the more my wolf and I calmed down. She buried her face in the neck of my fur and I heard her heart rate pick up. I pulled back and licked her face for her to look at me but she buried her face further into my fur. I looked down and she was trying her best to not stand on her injured ankle. I immediately phased back and picked her up.

"Come on we need to set your leg."-I whispered into her hair as she buried her face in my neck and clung to me. I raced into the house with my heart pounding not liking her in pain and neither did wolf Jacob who was whining and growling wanting Emily. Honestly wolf Jacob never really did like Emily he was just always indifferent but now he hates her and at the moment so do I.

I came through the door and saw the damage of their fight and laughed. Damn she did a job, there was even blood on the table.

"She fucked her up didn't she?"-Paul said from where he was actually helping Rachel clean up.

"Yeah she did."-I chuckled

"Well Emily deserved it and it's not like Leah killed her."-Rachel said and Leah's head popped up as all eyes turned to Rachel.

"You actually aren't siding with Emily?'-I asked

"I truly never thought Emily was all those things Leah would call her and believed Emily when she said Leah was jealous a cold hearted."-that earned a growl from Leah.

"But, after a while you start to wonder. Lately I slowly started to realize not everything Leah was saying was a lie, if anything and that Emily seemed to always make it seem like Leah was out to get her or wanted Sam. It was recently I realized I always took Emily's side even if I didn't voice it simply because she was a fellow imprint not to mention the first and helped us other imprints ease into this life. But I realized the way Paul and I got together wasn't by cheating or me stealing him from someone and if he was with Leah or another girl I could have never done what Emily did. We aren't obligated our wolves are, so we decided with a clear head how our relationship would go."-she said and I was shocked.

"Baby you know I'd still be with you even if what Billy said is true?"-Paul said

"I think you would but there's a strong part that says you wouldn't. Now I see why you say you pity us Leah, we'll never know, but you can have real love, free love and I think that's what makes Emily so mad; she knows you're right. We'll, the imprints, will always have to live with the would they have if they didn't imprint on our minds but when you find your guy that's it, you'll know."-she walked over to us.

"I know we'll probably never be bffs or friends like we used to be or anything but, I'd at least like to bury the hatchet and get to a point where we can say hi to each other and I'm sorry it took this long for me to see it. I'm sorry Leah."-Rachel said and Leah looked shocked. They weren't exactly enemies but they weren't friends either.

"We'll see,"-Leah said, not trusting of Rachel's sudden change in attitude and Rachel nodded understanding.

"Leah are you alright?"-Billy asked, wheeling over and she nodded.

"No she isn't."-I said glaring at her.

"Damn Leah your ankle!"-Paul exclaimed when he saw it.

"Come lay her down so you can fix it and wrap it up before it heals like that."-Billy said and wheeled into the living room.

"Lay her leg on the table."-Billy instructed as I slowly lowered her on the couch.

"Oh and while you're at it grab a pair of shorts."-he said

"Why?"-I asked; she has a sheet on we'll deal with her nudity later after her ankle is set. Suddenly someone slapped my ass and I jumped.

"Because you're ass out."-Paul said and I growled at him and raced to my room to grab some shorts and darted back to the living room.

"Feel her ankle for the breaks; you should be able to feel sharpness of bone where it's broken even if it's began to mend."-Billy said

"How do you know so much?"-Rachel asked as I did as instructed.

"You really think I want that bloodsucker back on my land again? I had him show me before he left the day Jacob got hurt protecting Leah so he wouldn't have to unless there was an even more serious injury than his was."-he said

"Found them,"-I said and he looked at Leah apologetically as Paul scooted her up, sat behind her and wrapped his arms around her. I didn't like it but knew he had to keep her still. But still he better not be enjoying it!

"Sorry sweetheart you know what comes next."-Billy said as he pat her hand; she nodded and closed her eyes.

"Re-break it at those points, then you know to hold it so it mends the right way."-he said and I leaned forward kissing her forehead before pulling back and snapping her leg. She screamed loudly; no doubt it was more painful this time having been broken for a third time before it was completely healed. Paul held her still as he tried whispering to her to calm her down.

"Rachel go and get the medical bag from my closet."-Billy said and she raced to get it then came back with a huge white back with a blue cross on it. He rummaged through and pulled out splints and wraps and began fixing up her leg.

"That should do it."-Billy said

"You ok Leah?'-Rachel asked quietly and she nodded with her eyes still closed.

"You'll be ok sweetheart. Don't worry about anything that happened tonight none of it was your fault and I'm sorry it happened. As sweet as Emily is she asked for it."-Billy said and wheeled over to kiss her cheek.

"Get her something to wear would you Rach?"-Billy said and she nodded and went to her room.

"Goodnight kids."-Billy said, pat Leah's hand and wheeled to his room.

As you can see Jacob and Leah's relationship is growing; I'm not going to have it bam Blackwater, but don't get too comfortable as you Know Jacob is flip flopping and doesn't know what's going on with him yet. The plot of the story is fast approaching as is Liam so please hang on for the ride.

The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few…so I need you to read then I need you to review...I just have to say I was shocked when I heard Michael Clarke Duncan was dead smh. It's so crazy and unexpected death is. I wish it didn't have to be but then we'd have to deal with a$$wholes forever. And I don't know about you but I'm not trying to deal with the Kardashians anymore than necessary.
