Thanks for all the Favourites and the Follows, it makes me want to write a whole lot more! Also, thanks for the reviews - keep them coming! i wanted this chapter to show a bit of Leah's kind side, hope you like it :)

Leah's POV

I sat in wolf form in the trees outside Luke's house, watching out for cold monsters that might want to hurt him during the night. I knew Jared was inside sleeping but his mind was only ever on Kim, it was my job to protect Luke. So I sat out in the forest, the ran soaking into my silver fur. Silver...that was what Luke had called me after seeing my wolf form this morning.

He's seen me in both forms, now I just need to tell him the big bit... that I was the silver wolf. What if he really was scared me earlier? God, how did the guys do this?! Oh wait... Jake didn't. My wolf best-friend was no help then. Jared would know how he would react, they are cousins after all. Oh god this was hard!

Do I just blurt it out? 'Hey Luke, you know that silver wolf, that's me! I'm a shape-shifter!' god, that'd make me sound crazy! Or do I just shift in front of him? That would probably give him a heart attack actually, like what happened with dad. Poor dad, I suppose he would have been proud of Seth and I. We did help the Cullen's, which was the right thing to do as it protected innocents. Yes. Yes, he would be proud.

My father was a strong believer in doing the right thing, protecting innocents. No matter how different they are from you, if their innocent then you protect them. Okay, we didn't exactly protect the Cullen's but we did help them and that was the main thing. We we're all safe now but we still had to keep an eye out for the Volturi though. They liked the idea of the pack, guard dogs... ha! Like we'd ever help them, protect them! The very thought makes me sick!

My ears pick up as I heard a brunch snap. I turn round, standing defensively. All I see is darkness though, not was shape amongst the darkened trees. I look up, wondering if there was anyone, or anything, hiding above me. There was, a small body in which a small heart beat fast. The small figure jumped to the ground and I got ready to pounce before realising who it was.

Nessie stood before me, her white smile lighting up her face. Her bronze ringlets fell neatly to her waist. She wasn't the size of a toddler any more, now she looked like a tall ten year old. That was small though compared to my 5'10. she wore a pair of light blue jeans with a loose green top, sleeves hugging her thin arms.

I sat down again, realising there was no threat from the hybrid. Her smile grew as she walked forward, rubbing my head. I had gotten used to her doing that, being a dog I enjoyed the occasional scratch behind the ear. I had been in the garden, rubbing my head in the grass to try and attend to the itch. After seeing my failing attempts, Nessie skipped over and rubbed the spot for me. I had leant against her in delight, feeling as if I were in heaven at the itch was taken care of. She did that all the time now as a greeting, rubbing my right ear softly.

"What are you doing outside Jared's house, Leah?" she asked, smiling mischievously. "Is it Luke? Come here for a late night talk?"

I growled at her, my eyes turning into slits.

"Have you kissed him yet? Told him the secret?" she chuckled.

I pounced on her, knocking her to the ground softly.

"Leah!" she laughed as she wrapped her arms around my furry neck.

"We'll you know better than to torment her" Jake smiled, leaning against a tree. He turned to me, his smile soft as soft spoke, "You should be sleeping, Jared will be there if anything goes wrong. There family, they'll always protect each other."

I looked at Nessie, as if saying 'The why are you always with her?'

"Well" he replied, rubbing his neck. "I have no where else to crash. I'm sick of Paul being round."

That made sense, when Jakes sister Rachel came to visit Paul imprinted on her. Since then Paul has been round there continuously, much to the annoyance of Billy and Jake. I thought it was nice that Paul had found his girl, he was nicer now and got less angry. When he began to shift at an inappropriate time, he would think of Rachel and he would calm down. At first I thought it was horrid, because I was jealous, but no I also found that cute. Oh no, I'm a female version of Paul! Kill me now!

I had never really gotten on well with Paul, he was an ass. I swear I wanted to kill him, I probably would have if Sam had ordered me not to. He was forever getting on my nerves, think it funny that I was the only female shape-shifter. Well I was one of a kind then, the only female and that made me special. I would tell myself that every time he upset me and it did comfort me a little.

I thought over what Jake said, Jared would protect Luke if there was a need. Who wouldn't? He's gorgeous! Okay, not everyone has imprinted on him. God Leah, think about that! Luke and Jared were cousins though, family, of course Jared would protect him. Jared would protect anyone so I had nothing to worry about.

With a nod, I head past Nessie and Jake. I head towards home, ear's still on alert in case I hear anything strange. I made it home without being unsettled, there was nothing out there tonight, just some nocturnal creatures roaming around. They were no threat so I had no reason to be worried.

I shifted and pulled my clothes off, coming out of the tree line. I walked in the house, past the front room and into my small box room. I didn't bother getting changed, I just collapsed on the bed as my eyes shut. I faintly heard my door opening and then felt my duvet as it was draped over my body. I didn't hear anyone leaving, I just fell into a dreamless sleep.

I was thinking about doing another story about a girl being turned... what do you think? should i do it or not? your opinions will be very much appreciated!
