Chapter 10: One of a Kind
One night and one more time
Thanks for the memories
Even though they weren't so great
He tastes like you only sweeter
'Thanks for the Memories' by Fall Out Boy
It was only two days later that a small amount of ten men and five women were sent down to La Push. And sadly, Sebastian was one of them.
I met him outside my house as my sisters greeted the rest of the members. It was very tense around us and the lower ranked males and females kept their distance.
"Sebastian, how are you?" I asked with a strained voice. He smiled genuinely and took one of my hands into his.
His were warm and calloused, but not comforting as Jacob's were. I snatched my hand away as if he just burned me.
He didn't seem fazed by my reaction to his touch and just continued to smile at me, "I'm doing fine Mel. Well, not as fine as I could be if you were still my fiance."
I rolled my eyes to myself; I took in the handsome face that I once was so convinced that I loved so much.
His blonde hair still in those spikes and his bluish-green eyes still burned when they looked at me.
I might have still been with him - and maybe even married by now - if I hadn't forgotten my purse that faithful day. I was having my bachelorette's party but my maid-of-honor was 'sick'.
Of course I had actually believed her; but when we were about to leave I remembered that I didn't have my purse with me so I ran back to the house that Sebastian moved into with me. Note: so it was my house.
There I found my maid-of-honor and now ex-best friend Lucy in bed with my fiance.
I was horrified; my best friend with my fiance, in my house on the day of my bachelorette party.
I was not like any other female that just ran out of the room crying. Oh no, I walked over, dragged him out of bed and gave him a piece of my mind.
After yelling at him for what seemed like forever I made my point clear by kicking him in the groin then turned my sights on Lucy as Sebastian writhed on the floor.
I dragged her out of the bed, by her hair, may I add, and tossed her out of my house; only to return with Sebastian to fling him out too.
My friends and sisters thought I was gone too long and came to check on me only to see the event going on. I told them what I found and that's when my father was brought into the situation.
Sebastian was exiled and relived of his position, and Lucy was considered an outcast by everyone.
From then on, I gave up on men. I mean, sure Lucy was pretty, no actually she was beautiful. Her long light brown hair and green eyes accented her heart-shaped face and tall thin figure. She had an amazing figure and it was all she needed to be a model as she was in her day job.
I looked towards the other fourteen people that my father sent and I was surprised to actually see Lucy there. What was my father thinking? Did he want me to murder her?
Then I stopped and thought like my father would, then it came to me. The only reason he sent the two people I despised the most here is because he probably hoped they would die in battle to make me happy. I smiled to myself; that sly old dog.
I turned from Sebastian's perverted gaze and addressed the pack and my sisters. "Okay everyone, first of all, thank you for coming. Now we are going to go meet the Quileute wolves and their Alpha Sam and their Beta Jacob. You are to take orders from them along with myself. So if I hear any complains of you not cooperating, my father will definitely hear about it. So now please go into the woods behind my house and change. I will lead you there for briefing and training of this situation."
They nodded and ran around to the back of the house. There clothes were strewn everywhere and many multicolored wolves waiting for my commands.
There I transformed into my wolf form and lead the wolves to the Quileute headquarters. Then all of a sudden there was a yellow wolf in front of me. I stopped and so did the pack following me.
"Sebastian, what do you think you're doing?" I asked him. He turned towards me and replied by saying, "I caught the scent of the wolves so I'm just following it there."
My blood boiled and I turned on Beta mode, but since the Alpha was thousands of miles away, I was like an Alpha.
So I turned on Alpha mode and looked at Sebastian; in response, he lowered his head towards the forest floor and gave an apologetic whimper.
"Get back with the pack Sebastian because the scent you were following isn't the right one. It doesn't lead to the headquarters, it leads elsewhere." I said in an authoritive voice.
He nodded and got back into formation. There we continued to Sam and Emily's house to meet up with the rest of the wolves.
We were sitting in our wolf forms, waiting for Mel and the rest of them to get here.
She informed us that her father sent down fifteen wolves, so that plus the three of them plus the ten of us and the eight of the Cullens equaled to a force of thirty-six people.
That might not be much of a force but when you have a good strategy and skill, a few hundred vampires should be a piece of cake.
Everyone was just lounging around when we picked up the sound of paws coming our way; a lot of paws.
That's when we knew that Mel and her side of the force were here. They burst through the trees and surprised us with the variety of colors.
Before Wendy, I've never seen another white wolf, but there were two more. One had a blue, blue, streak down its back and the other had a red streak down its back. I'm guessing those two were twins.
Mel and Sam made introductions between everyone and I tried to pay attention to the many names but I couldn't.
There was this one blond colored wolf that wouldn't take his eyes off of Melanie. That irritated me, but the fact that Melanie openly ignored his stares didn't escalate my anger that much.
Sure, Melanie was beautiful, so I shouldn't be so mad when another wolf looks at her. But it still put me on edge.
"All right everyone, after Mel finishes talking to her wolves, our minds will soon be linked. So be careful what you think, got it? I don't need any disputes between us."
After Sam said that he pointedly looked at me but no one else noticed. I rolled my eyes; as if I couldn't handle some ex-boyfriend of Mel's.
There was a ripple-like feeling in my mind and then I was surrounded by many other voices, more voices than I was used to and for a second I could feel a headache coming on.
But then it got louder as the two packs met. I stayed silent; obviously these wolves were used to a much larger crowd so they could handle all the voices, but not me.
Mel came over to me and nuzzled my neck, "You'll get used to the voices; to tell the truth, everyone's so busy talking that if you're thoughts slip, they just might not hear you."
That comforted me a little, the fact that I could think of all the evil things I wanted to do to Sebastian and get away with it.
"I heard that mister, and I don't want you doing anything to Sebastian." Melanie scolded and I frowned and pouted.
She laughed at me and then that same blonde wolf came up separated us. He got low and growled at me; I wasn't intimidated – that is, if it was his goal.
"Stay away from my girl. I know you only have one female in your pack but this one's taken." He said and I almost laughed. Almost, I would have if I wasn't so angry.
I looked down at him with a bored yet infuriated expression. "Do you know who I am?" I asked him.
"Do I look like I care?" he replied. Melanie came from behind him and pinned him with a look that I've gotten many times before from Sam.
"He's the Beta, Sebastian. I hope you know you're embarrassing me with your behavior and I will not stand for it. Follow your scent back home and stay there."
He growled one last time at me then turned and ran away. Mel sighed, and then I realized that everyone was staring at us. I just shook my head and that's when Sam decided to step in.
For the rest of the day, we strategized and found out each other's strengths and weaknesses. There we found ways of covering those up and it just made the pack stronger. This week and the next we would be by ourselves then the next two weeks would be practicing with the Cullens.
The enemy coven would be here in a month so the timing was perfect, if we kept on schedule.
Back at the house, I walked out to the tent that Sebastian was sleeping in. The pack members knew there wasn't enough room in my house and didn't mind sleeping in the forest.
I stood in front of the fairly large tent; it wasn't like I could knock on the door or something, but I couldn't just walk in either.
So I sighed and said, "Sebastian?" There was a rustling and then hurried footsteps. I leaned forward and tried to listen more closely but that was when Sebastian opened the flap of the tent.
There he stood shirtless looking at me like I was a piece of meat. I resisted the urge to cover myself; I would not show how uncomfortable he made me.
I sighed and said, "Can I come in?" He looked up at my face for the first time that I had arrived.
He nodded and opened the flap wider for me to fit through. It was still a tight squeeze so I ended up brushing against his chest. I felt him shiver and I rolled my eyes.
Great, he probably thinks I did that on purpose. Now he's going to come on to me. I thought and I almost grimaced at it.
I turned to look at him and realized that he was looking at my backside. That was the last straw.
"Sebastian, the way you've been acting is not one that my father would find appropriate. First you lose your temper when we were with the Quileute pack and you argue with their Beta no less. Then you openly undress me with your eyes. I have the strong urge to kick you out of this pack if you don't show some more respect towards me and the other wolves."
I huffed out a breath and looked at him waiting for some sort of reply. "I'm sorry Melanie. It's just that you don't know how irresistible you are. When I saw you with that other wolf I just lost it; and now, you look really good that I can't help but stare."
I was about to say something else when he stepped forward and kissed me. I was shocked and was about to push him away when he was gone as quickly as he had arrived.
I looked towards the door only to find Jacob there shaking from anger with Sebastian's collar in his hand.
Sebastian was a big guy, 6'2, 195 pounds and muscles to boot; but he looked like a midget compared to Jacob.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?" Jacob asked Sebastian.
He shook off Jacob's hold and glared at him, "I was kissing my girlfriend before you interrupted."
Now that made me angry but before I could say something Jacob said, "You think you're her boyfriend? Yeah right. More like a lying, cheating dog if you ask me. I know all about how badly you treated Melanie and I'm sick and tired of you staring at her like she's food."
Then Jacob planted a fist in Sebastian's face and he landed hard on the floor. "Oh yeah, by the way, she's my girlfriend now."
With that Jacob grabbed my hand and dragged me out of the tent and into the house.
Inside, there were my sisters along with some other members. They looked at both my and Jacob's faces and decided it was best to make themselves scarce – smart wolves.
I sat down on the couch and waited patiently for Jacob to say something. He was pacing the floor with a passion. Then he turned his gaze on me, he was trying to find the right words and I just waited.
"How could you let him kiss you like that Mel? Do you still have some feelings for him, or what?" he asked. He looked so broken; I guess the anger hid his hurt at the moment that he found Sebastian and me.
I got up and held his large hands in my smaller ones, "How could you think that Jacob? I love you; I could care less about Sebastian and what he thinks about me. And I hope you know that I was going to pull away but you intervened."
I raised my hand and smoothed his brows, where it seemed like a million little creases appeared.
I smiled at him, "And I thought it was very sweet of you to punch Sebastian in the face. He had it coming."
Jacob laughed, "You're the only woman I know that would praise me for hitting a guy in the face."
I shrugged with a smile, "I'm one of a kind."
Well somebody's in denial. I hope you liked the story and review please! It takes all of one minute. I promise that the story will still be there after you review. Even if it's just a 'Great story!' or a 'You're story's so freaking awesome. And Sebastian is such a douchbag and I love Mel and Jacob is so sexy!' Long or short, I appreciate them all!
