This one will be longer. I promise... I think. :)

LEAH'S POV

"Leah. Breakfast." My mom called up the stairs. I woke up slowly. Oh, God.

"Sam. You've got to go." I shook him awake. "You fell asleep."

"I'm gone." He jumped off the bed and then out the open window.

"Coming mom." I called back down the stairs.

I opened the door and ran down the stairs.

"Hey, honey." My mom said, as I walked into the kitchen.

"Hey, mom." I answered. "Where is dad?" I asked, looking around the kitchen. Seth was sitting at the table eating.

"Oh, he went to Billy's." She told me.

"Oh."

"Sit down, honey. I made pancakes." She told me. I smiled.

"Yay." I said, laughing. I sat down at the table beside Seth and looked down at my hands. I saw the ring on my finger and smiled. I started turning it and smiling to myself. Seth had stopped eating, so I looked up at him.

"Oh, no. No." He said, angrily.. He was looking down at my finger and his shoulders were shaking. He stood up and stormed out of the kitchen. I heard the door slam.

"What was that about?" Mom asked.

I took a deep breathe and held up my hand, wiggling my ring finger. "Sam asked me to marry him." I told her, then watched her face light up. She loved Sam. Always had. Always will. I had thought Sam did too... What was up with him.

"That's wonderful dear." She told me. "Why would that make Seth so angry?" She asked.

"I have no idea.. All I know is that he was looking down at my hand before he stormed out of here." I told her.

"He'll come around." She promised.

"I hope so." I replied.

"Here you go." She sat a plate of hot waffles in front of me. "Enjoy."

-

"Sam." I begged answering the phone. "You have to find my brother." Sam had told me that wolves minds were connected.. And I'd seen Sam shaking when he was mad.

Seth was a were wolf. Just like Jarred, Paul, Quil, Embery, and Jacob..

"Yeah. I know. I was about to go. Give me a little while. If he's there, well it won't take long to rain him back in." He promised me.

"Thanks, Sam."

"Love you. Don't worry. I'll find him." He said, hanging up the phone.

This was horrific. Seth had been missing for a week. My mom was worried.. So was my dad... Everyone was worried.

Of chores. My brother was missing. Why wouldn't they be worried?

SAM'S POV

Dropping the phone, I jumped out my bedroom window. I was a wolf before I hit the ground.

Stupid Leah. Leave me. How could see think of that? Why would she ever want to leave me? Seth grumbled internally... So that was what this was about.

Seth Clearwater. Go home right now. And change back into your human form. Your family is worried about you. Go home. I commanded.

Then he was gone. Good boy. I thought to myself.

I phased back human and went to Leah's house. Seth was already there and Leah answered the door. When she saw it was me, she hugged me.

"You got him." She cried.

"Yeah." I replied.

"Thanks, Sam."

"He doesn't want you to leave." I told her.

"What?" She asked, confused.

"He doesn't want you to leave.. You know, when we get married. He doesn't want you to leave him." I told her, solemnly.

"I'll talk to him." She told me.

"Okay, I'll give you some time.. Bye, Leah." I turned and walked away. She needed time to talk to Seth.. What she would tell him.. Well that I didn't know.

LEAH'S POV

I had waited for him to go up to his room for bed.. I couldn't talk about this with our family listening. I knocked on the door.

Seth opened it, without saying anything. He walked back to his bed and sat down.

"Seth." I said, walking over to him. "You know I'm not leaving you."

"Yes, you are Leah. You are going to go off and get married. Then leave me here."

"Seth, it's not like I won't be around. We'll see each other all the time. I promise. I'm not leaving you. I will be around. You will see me.. So what if I won't be here when you fall asleep. You'll still see me.. Maybe not everyday.. But I'll be here, Seth. And you can come over. Just call first. . ." I trailed off, laughing.

"You promise?" He asked.

"Yeah. Don't worry, Seth." I told him. "Love you, baby brother."

"Love you, Leah." He replied.

"Now you need to go to bed." I told him.

"Yeah.." He lay down and I pulled the covers over him.

"Night."

"Night." I kissed him on the cheek and then walked out of his room.

I went into my bedroom and lay down on my bed. I looked up at the ceiling and twisted my engagement ring.

I thought about the past three months.. Everything had changed sense Sam became a wolf... Changed in a good way.. Not that things were bad before. Things were good then too. This was a different kind of good.

"Leah?" It was Sam, sitting on my window sill.

"Sam." I said, smiling.

"What are you doing?" He asked.

"Thinking." I told him.

"About what?" He asked, frowning.

"I was just thinking about how good things are.. And how happy I am. Just thinking about the past. And present.. And future..." I told him.

He walked over to me. "Did you talk to Seth?" He asked.

"Yeah. I think he'll be fine." I told him.

"Leah.." He wrapped his arms around me and then looked into my eyes. "If you think we shouldn't do this.. I'll understand."

"No, Sam. He's okay now. He'll be fine.. I know he will." I told him. "I want to do this."

Before he could speak I reached up and kissed him.. "Wow." He said, when he pulled away. I laughed and kissed him again.. Longer this time, more intense. "God. I can't wait for you to be my wife..." He whispered to my neck. I laughed and kissed him again, sweetly this time.

"I love you."
