Wow 100 reviews! You all are truly awesome, chocolate for everyone! If I was able to send it through the computer I would. lol. I was reading the reviews and you guys had some pretty good guesses as to what the Cherokee pack wants with Jacob's pack. Here is the next chapter. Remember to R&R! And thanks to those who added this to their favorites or alerts! This chapter is half Jacob's POV and half Leah's

(her POV will be short though).

I do not own Twilight or any of the characters. But I do own the Cherokee pack.


Jacob's POV

We followed the Cherokee pack far out into the woods. Adahy finally stopped walking and turned to face me and my pack.

"What do you want Adahy," I asked. One of his pack members pulled out a colorful feather and placed it in Adahy's hand.

"We want to join your pack," Adahy said calmly. I heard Paul and Sam growl behind me.

" Jacob you can't let them do that. You know what happened before," Sam said snarling.

"We do apologize for everything our ancestors caused. We are not like them though. We do not fight or kill unless we have to. This feather here stands for our peace," Adahy offered me the feather and I pushed it away.

"What the hell do you want to join the pack for? Is it to get close to Leah," I asked curious as to what he would say.

" Adahy loves Nessie, although he is physically attracted to Leah. We have never seen one of her kind, she is…interesting," one of the Cherokee pack members stated. I growled at his statement and so did Sam.

" Mankato is right. I am indeed drawn in by her looks, but nothing more. I have already imprinted so I won't be needing Leah," Adahy replied offering me the feather again.

" What the hell do you mean by you won't be needing Leah," Sam asked his body shaking violently.

" Calm down Sam," I used my Alpha tone and Sam glared at me.

" If I had not imprinted I would have mated with Leah."

" Oh no you would not have," Seth stepped in front of Adahy. I pulled him back and pushed him behind me.

" Look Adahy, you don't run anything here, we do," I replied pointing to me and the pack. " Don't you even think of Leah in that way, you hear me. She mates with who she wants to mate with, and she would not have chosen you. First of all you are not her type and second of all she is with me," I said pushing the feather away once again. The Cherokee pack snickered.

"Something amusing," Paul asked his face contorted with anger.

" Yes, your Alpha is actually quite amusing. Technically she would have mated with me, it's an old legend. Back in the 1800's there was this woman named Sundai, she was quite beautiful and almost like Leah. She was a shape shifter but was tragically killed by some men hunting. She was not the size of us shape-shifters, but the size of a normal wolf. Legends say that the female shape-shifter is not normal and since Sundai died there would be another female wolf to fill her spot. And that other female is Leah," Adahy finished his story and all of us just stood there confused.

"Whoa wait, so Leah is not the first shape-shifter in history," Embry asked.

" Correct. I didn't know that there was already another female that filled Sundai's spot."

" So what the hell does this story have to do with you mating with Leah," Quil asked crossing his arms waiting on a reply.

" Legends say that the Alpha of the Cherokee tribe is supposed to mate with the only female shape-shifter. But you got lucky Jake, I imprinted," Adahy winked and smiled.

" My name is Jacob to you and if you wink at me again I will rip your eye out of it's socket," I growled Jared held me back before I lunged at Adahy. His pack got ready to attack us.

" Stop," Adahy commanded holding his hand up. " Look Jacob, I mean no harm. I swear I won't do anything to Leah, I have my mate already. I just wanted you to know, just in case you caught me looking at her."

" You won't be looking at her so don't worry about that," Sam said.

" Ok, peace please. Just let us join your pack," Adahy said peacefully. What was up with the Ghandi act? How the hell was he a shape-shifter if he was so calm?

" Why do you want to join us," Jared asked still holding me back.

" Because it is much safer to have us here if vampires attack again. We are in good with the Cullens just like you. Just let us join and I promise we mean no harm," Adahy offered the feather again. What the fuck was the feather for?

" Stop trying to give me that damn feather. Your reasons are not good enough and I don't want you to join this pack. Kiss my ass and go to hell Adahy," I said turning away from the pack. The pack followed my lead away from the Cherokee pack.

" Just think about it," Adahy called out.

" Do you actually think they mean good this time," Jared asked as we walked out of the clearing.

" Hell no, the last time one of them killed a innocent human. Ancestor or not, people inherit stuff like violent behavior," Quil replied.

Sam seemed pissed as hell. " This shit ruined my wedding day. What a waste of time." He phased and ran the opposite direction.

" It was a waste of time, I have to agree," Paul said. To be so tough acting, Paul always had his head up Sam's ass.

"Dude we will catch you later. Me and Embry are going to patrol later on tonight," Jared said as the rest of the pack followed him.

"Ok. Catch ya later." Now I had to go check and see if Leah killed Nessie yet. I don't know what in my right mind let me leave Leah alone . I phased and ran the rest of the way to the Cullen's.


As soon as I got there I noticed everyone was in the living room except Leah.

"What did you all do to her," I asked frantically. Don't tell me she got kicked out again for thinking bad things of Bella.

" Ha, no not this time. She is up there with the baby," Edward said laughing.

I nodded and ran up the stairs. When I reached the room, I stopped in the door way. Leah was cuddling the baby close to her and talking to him. She rocked him and smiled at him and he was enjoying it. It was weird that I never treated Nessie like that. Leah was treated the baby like he was her child, not like someone she would love like a lover in the future.

"Hey babe," I said interrupting Leah's quality time with Dakota.

" Oh hey there," Leah replied beaming. I looked down at Dakota, he seemed intrigued by Leah.

" It's shocking to see you being nice to Nessie's baby. Imprint or not," I replied laughing.

" He's grown on me. You want to hold him," Leah handed me the baby and I thought about saying no. Little Dakota began to reach out for me and I gladly took him.

" Aw he likes you," Leah said wiping his mouth. He started to laugh and kick his legs out.

" Wow this kid is really busy. Maybe it's the wolf in him," I tried to control the kid but he was just getting happier and happier. He looked over at Leah and reached for her.

" Come here," she took him from my arms and started to rock him again. Seeing Leah being nice to the baby made me feel really bad for her. She was unable to have a kid that she could care for.

"Don't you two look like parents. Nessie has to feed little Dakota," Alice said walking into the room. Alice reached for the baby but he didn't reach for her. Instead he rested his hand on Leah's stomach and smiled. I found that a little odd, but didn't say anything. "Ok pookers, come to Auntie." Alice took Dakota from Leah and he didn't look too happy about that. He reached one tiny hand out to Leah as Alice walked out the room.

" That was strange," I said putting an arm around Leah. She nodded and pecked my lips.

" Let's go home," she said taking my hand.

Leah's POV

I decided to stay with Jacob again tonight. I could not take the puppy dog eyes and the pouty lips. I made sure to call my mother and tell her I was staying at Jacob's and thanked me for thinking of her this time.

" So what did Adahy want," I asked Jacob as we lay in bed.

" He wanted to join the pack, he said something about it was better for protection. Oh and then he had the nerves to say that he would have mated with you if he didn't imprint on Nessie."

" How can he think that I would have mated with him? He is so full of it and I hope you said hell no to him joining this pack," I turned to face Jacob.

" Of course I did. He said he was physically attracted to you. Why the hell would I let him near you now? And guess what Lee," Jacob's face lit up.

" What?"

" You are not the first female shape-shifter in history. Adahy told us this story of a shape-shifter named Sundai, she got killed by hunters. She was actually the first female shape-shifter and you are her successor I guess."

" This is way too much for me to take in. I'm tired and going to sleep," I said holding my head. Jacob nodded and pulled me into him. After about ten minutes I was off into a deep sleep.

Leah's Dream:

" Daddy look I got a big fish," I held up my fishing line with a big fish dangling from it.

" Oh look at that there. That is a nice size one, put it in the bucket," my dad said holding up the red bucket. I threw the fish in and ran back to the edge of the water. I looked down and seen many fish swimming around frantically.

" It's lots of other fish too daddy," I said pointing to the water. My dad came over and his eyes widened.

" Let's get to fishing," he said throwing his line out into the water. I smiled and jumped up and down.

" Get that pretty one right there," I pointed to an orange fish that seemed to glow. He seemed to stand out from the rest. The fish swam up to the top of the water and stuck his head out. He didn't flop around or anything, but looked like he was reaching out to me. I stared at the fish in horror. I looked over at my dad and he was gone.

"Daddy!" I called out.

" Up here," a voice said. I looked up into the sky and seen Billy and my dad; they smiled down at me.

" No come back," I yelled again. This time my voice was not a little girl's voice anymore, I was all grown up.

" Take care of the little fish," Billy said before fading away.

" No come back," I yelled up at the sky.

" Do what Billy says Leah. I love you," my dad said fading away.

I fell to the ground sobbing. " Please come back."


Hope you all like the chapter. I had some extra time on my hands so I decided to put this chapter up. I won't say much in this AN because I don't want to give anything away. I know it's odd seeing Leah being nice to the baby. It will all make sense soon! Many questions will be answered, just wait and see. Reviews are always welcome! Thanks and much love!
