Our Dawn

Part II

Leah Clearwater

17. Out of Control

I guess my life would always be like this: one step forward and two steps back. What else was I expecting? I was, after all, the only female wolf in History.

For a few weeks the pack had learned to respect me as a beta. Even Paul had approved the way I handled with the latest bloodsucker's attack when Sam and Jacob weren't in La Push. Now I was the bitter bitch again.

After my little outburst with Jacob about his training's sessions with Bella, the wonderful Cullen couple had some sort of a fight at home. Carlisle called us the next day saying that Bella and Edward had practically destroyed their bedroom and were gone. I had hopes they had actually killed each other but Bella had left a note addressed to Alice saying they were fine and would be away for just a couple of days to solve their problem in private.

So when the pack found out what I've done they accused me of being a marriage wrecker. It was just another title to add to my collection only this time even my brother was disappointed in me since he was a huge Bella-Edward fan. I knew that was nothing I could do or say to put things right again.

I kept trying to find a way to rationally explain my recent behaviour but so far I had nothing. I had also decided to deny any feelings I had for Jacob. I didn't want anything to do with him. I refused to fall in love again especially with a fucking leech lover.

It was a half past five in the afternoon when we finished our trainings with Blondie who was covering for her mind rapist brother again. Because tonight there would be a bonfire at the beach and the Council had requested our presence, my pack brothers were having the rest of the day off while I had to patrol alone.

That was my punishment for almost ruining Bella's marriage and our precious alliance with the Cullens. Although I founded it rather unfair, I was glad to patrol on my own. I certainly didn't need anyone else on my mind watching my troubled thoughts.

An hour later someone phased and joined me in the forest.

'Phase back, we need to talk.' Jacob said.

'You need to talk, I need to patrol.' I retorted.

'Leah…please.' He asked softly.

'If you have more things to add to my punishment just talk and leave.'

'I just want to have a decent conversation with you, alright? Please phase back. I'll wait for you at the clearing.'

'I'm not in the mood Jacob.'

'Sure, sure. Just do it.'

I ended up phasing back and meeting him. I could ignore him but that would probably make him follow me endlessly and I didn't want him inside my mind for that long. I didn't know for how long I could conceal my thoughts about him.

"What do you want?" I asked fiercely.

"I'm giving you the rest of the day off." He said. I was surprised by his change of heart. Yesterday he was still so pissed off with me I thought he'd rip my head off.

"Why?" I asked curiously.

"Because I can't take Seth whining anymore and because I thought a lot about it and there wasn't actually any harm done."

"Really? But your precious Bella left…" I teased.

"She's coming home tonight with Edward."

"She is?"

"Yes."

"Well, I'm sorry for you kid. I know you were hoping they would get a divorce."

He sighed deeply.

"Why can't we just go back to be friends like before?"

"Because you're an asshole."

"Why?"

"Let's see…Bella's married, she chose a fucking leech over you, she has used you again and you keep waiting for her to come back to you. If that doesn't make you an asshole, I don't know what does."

"I don't even know why I bother…" He mumbled. "We'll be at the cliffs having fun…in case you're interested…"

Jacob turned his back on me and started to walk away.

"Why the fuck would I be interested?" I retorted following him through the forest.

He shrugged and kept walking.

We were almost out of the woods when he stopped abruptly and I collided against his back.

"What the hell…" I complained but I immediately stopped talking when I saw Jacob's hard expression and his fists clenched tightly.

I could even feel the vibes that were coming out of his body. It was fucking scary. For the first time in my life I was afraid of my alpha.

Jacob was frozen in the middle of the forest focusing his attention on the two people ahead of us. I inhaled deeply and I knew exactly why Jacob was acting that way. I moved to his side and saw Paul and Rachel kissing passionately.

Rachel was almost half naked. Her eyes were closed and her hair was loose. Paul's hands were placed firmly on her waist. The space between them was inexistent and their hard breathing was starting to make an echo in my ears.

I sensed the danger a few seconds after Paul's hands travelled to Rachel's back and into her bra. Jacob just lost it.

"Paul!" I yelled at the same time that Jacob phased shredding his clothes in the process and throwing himself in Paul's direction.

Paul managed to push Rachel out of the way and phased in the air while trying to escape Jacob's attack.

All we could hear now was Jacob's loud growls while trying to bite Paul. Rachel was terrified and I had to go get her or they could easily hit her since they were completely out of control.

"Leah…please do something!" She asked me crying.

"Put your blouse on Rachel and stop crying." I said coldly. Rachel knew how Jacob felt about her relationship with Paul. They had already fought at least twice because of that and Rachel kept on fuelling their animosity.

Paul was indeed in danger. Jacob was fighting seriously and even if I didn't like Paul much, I couldn't let him get killed. I looked at Rachel and she was still crying watching the two wolves fighting aggressively, smashing trees, bushes and roots endlessly.

Since none of us had a cell phone I would have to take care of this alone.

"Stay out of sight and be quiet." I ordered and phased. Just like I was expecting no one else was in wolf form except from the three of us. I was on my own.

'Did you think you could just fuck my sister because you had the fucking day off? I'm going to kill you and bury your body so deep in the forest no one will ever find it.'

Jacob's thoughts were so loud I could hardly listen to anything else. As he kept thinking about the ways he could murder Paul and hide his body I realised things were more serious than I thought.

Jacob hadn't even realised I had phased for starters which meant he was totally focused on Paul and inflicting him pain. Secondly he was actually very close to kill his sister's boyfriend because Paul was now bleeding badly.

I could hear some of Paul's weak thoughts trying to tell Jacob that nothing had happened but Jacob wasn't interested in apologies.

'Jacob stop!' I tried. 'You're going to kill Paul and Rachel will never forgive you!'

Nothing.

'Your sister is terrified Jacob! She's crying her eyes out! Please stop! Paul's sorry and he won't do it again!'

Still nothing.

'Jacob Black! You can't kill one of your pack brothers! You'll never forgive yourself!'

'I can do whatever I want!' He roared at me and came closer releasing Paul for a few seconds.

'Phase back, Paul. Phase back!' I mentally yelled.

Jacob would only stop attacking him if Paul phased back to human. Fortunately this time Paul swallowed up his pride and did what I told him to do. Or maybe he was just too injured to keep on fighting.

And then I was all alone facing an out of control Jacob who was now completely furious.

I had the feeling he wasn't even recognising me.

'Jacob, calm down.'

He lounged at me. He definitely didn't want to talk. I knew Jacob was strong and I had no chances against him. His massive body hit mine with such force that I fell on the ground immediately.

I could hear Rachel's screams but I knew Jacob wasn't going to stop. If only one of the others phased.

I tried to avoid his teeth but sooner or later he would get me. I was faster but I was also smaller so I would get tired soon and I wouldn't be able to keep up with all his attacks.

'Seth! Seth! Seth!' I called for my brother. There was no use trying to reason with Jacob because he wasn't listening to me. Maybe my brother could feel that I was in danger. We were the only biological siblings in the pack, excluding the whole Embry mess.

When Jacob's teeth pierced the crook of my neck I realised I was in deep shit but he didn't bite me too deep and a second later Jacob's weight disappeared and I saw a sandy coloured wolf taking him a few steps away from me. Somehow my brother had listened to me.

Then I saw the rest of the pack helping Seth and they disappeared between the trees, taking Jacob with them. The pups stayed behind with Jared and they started to phase back.

"Leah and Paul are hurt." Denis came to stand besides me. I was still in my wolf form because I had nothing to dress.

"Caleb, go call Carlisle, please." Jared asked.

Rachel was near Paul's bloody body as he was lying on the ground unconscious.

"Rachel, pull yourself together. Paul's hurt but he's not dead." Jared told her and she glared at him with her eyes all red from the tears.

Jared was right. Paul would heal and so would I.

Carlisle, Emmett and Jasper arrived in that moment with Caleb.

"What a chaos." Emmett said watching the place. We sure had ruined that part of the forest.

"What happened?" Jasper asked. "Were you attacked?"

"We don't know yet. Can you take care of Paul and Leah?" Jared requested.

"Of course." Carlisle went to check on Paul and a few seconds later he ordered Jasper and Emmett to take Paul to the Cullen's mansion.

"You guys go back to La Push and inform Billy of what happened." Jared said.

The pups did what he asked and then Quil, Embry, Brady, Collin, Sam and Seth came to join us. Jacob was the last one to come into view. His expression was hard to read.

"Quil take Rachel home." Sam ordered.

"I'm not leaving Paul." She stated following Jasper and Emmett.

Quil reached her and prevented her from going.

"Let's go back so you can bring some clothes for Paul." He suggested. "You know he won't take any clothes from the leeches."

Rachel finally gave in.

Carlisle took off his blue shirt and put it on the floor for me. I phased back and allowed Seth to help me walking.

"How are you feeling?" He asked me visibly worried.

"I'm alright." I said. Seth began to inspect me closely.

My left shoulder and a part of my neck were still bleeding but I didn't feel too much pain. Carlisle touched my right wrist and I winced.

"It's out of place." He said and then he twisted it and it stopped hurting.

"Thanks."

We all followed Carlisle to his house. When we got there Paul was being taken upstairs to the guest's room and the leech doctor went to check on him. We heard Paul's screams downstairs while Carlisle was putting his bones back in place to heal properly.

Esme gave me a towel to stop the blood coming from my injury and while we were waiting in the living room, Jacob stood by the stairs pacing. I guess now he was worried and sorry for what he had done.

"This can't happen again Jacob." Sam said and Jacob stopped walking and turned to us.

By then it was pretty clear that everyone had already figured out what had happened.

"I'm sorry." He mumbled.

"You better be." Sam insisted. "You could've killed Paul."

"And my sister." Seth added holding my hand.

"You attacked them?" Emmett asked surprised. "Fuck, you are such a bad ass, Black."

"You should probably take the rabies shot…in case you snap again." Rosalie mocked.

Jacob took a step towards her but Emmett put himself in the middle of them to avoid a confrontation.

"Let's all calm down." Jasper said and we all felt the effects of his powers.

"Seriously…if you keep doing this the Volturi won't have anyone to kill when they arrive." Rosalie finished.

"Rose…Let's prepare something for them to eat." Esme suggested.

We waited in silence for a couple of minutes listening to Rosalie, Esme and Alice cooking in the kitchen and Paul's screams upstairs.

Then Quil and Rachel arrived and we watched perplexed while Rachel approached her brother and slapped him hard across the face.

I didn't know if the bones on her hand were intact but she didn't complain.

"You almost killed my boyfriend you moron!" She yelled at him.

"I'm sorry." Jacob said lowering his head.

She glared but a second later she melted like butter and hugged him. He comforted her while she was crying.

"I'm so sorry Rach…" Jacob repeated.

"He's going to be alright." Carlisle said coming down the stairs and everyone sighed in relief.

"Can we see him?" Rachel asked.

"He's sleeping now. I had to give him a lot of morphine for the pain. He had a broken leg, four broken ribs and lot of other small injuries."

"How much time will he take to heal?" Sam asked.

"A week…He'll be ready to fight the Volturi." Carlisle assured.

"Can I go see him?" Rachel insisted.

"Sure. Second door on the left."

Rachel left immediately and Carlisle was now facing Jacob.

"I know that what happened between you and Paul is personal but you need to understand that we're going to face a powerful army of vampires soon. You can't take your problems to the battle field." The doctor said quietly.

"We're going to solve things out once he gets better." Jacob promised.

"Good because when Edward and Bella come back we're going to Canada for you to meet our reinforcements." Alice announced offering Seth a cupcake.
