A/N: I do not own Twilight, Stephanie Meyer owns.

Thanks to AllytheVampChick, xXLifeWithoutAMeaningXx, and Rachel 2w2 for reviewing last chapter.

I forgot to mention this before, I have pictures of Leana on my profile if you want to see what Leana looks like.

Chapter Two

(CPOV)

I ran outside and into the woods. I ran for a full two minutes before it was too much. I fell to the ground on my knees and let the inner wolf out. My bones started to break and reshape into place. The fire increased then stopped altogether.

I looked down at my paws; I was a dark russet color, like my father. I stood and walked around in a circle, remembering what happened with Leana, and then I howled in pain. I suddenly heard another voice in my head.

'Cody, is that you?' Sam Junior asked.

'Yep, it's me. Sam J?'

'Yea, where are you?' He asked.

I looked around. 'I don't know, somewhere in the woods behind my house.' I told him.

'Alright, I'm on my way.' He said.

I walked around a bit more until Sam J came through the trees. He was black as night, like his father. Dad told me Sam Sr. had been black as night, too.

'Yea, he was. Mom showed me a picture. You look like Jacob, you know.' Sam J told me softly.

That made me happy. I looked like my father, human and wolf form alike.

Sam chuckled. 'So, I saw how all this happened, what made you phase. I saw it all in your head. I guess now you wanna phase back?' Sam asked and I nodded my big wolfy head and he continued. 'Think of your human self, Cody.'

I thought about Leana and my family. Soon my bones began to reshape back into human form and soon I was lying on the forest floor, naked. Sam phased back and handed me a pair of shorts as he slid his own pair on. He turned to me and said, "So, I'm Alpha of the pack, but it's your birthright. I'll step down if you want it or we can wait until you are ready."

I thought it over, I wanted to be Alpha, but I knew I wasn't ready for that yet. I shook my head. "I want it eventually, but for now you can be Alpha. I've been a wolf for all of five minutes. I can't control my phasing, much less my pack."

Sam nodded and laughed. "Well, I guess we should get you home, then." Sam said and we walked towards my house. The whole way back he explained patrol and the Cullen's. Of course, I knew them, but not as a wolf. Sam said I would stay home from school for two weeks so I could gain control over my phasing.

We stopped outside my house and Sam went in to make sure Leana had left before I went in. "Cody?" I heard mom call. I went in and found mom, dad, Austin, Charlie and Sam J in the kitchen. I stayed near the back door as my family stood across the room near the doorway to the living room. I knew it was so they could get away quickly if I phased in here.

They all looked cautious, except for Austin, whose face was bright with excitement. "Dude, how was it?" He asked animatedly.

I laughed and said, "Man, it's like nothing else. I can't wait for you to phase." Austin smiled at this.

Sam J turned to dad and said, "He looks just like you Jacob."

Dad smiled and said, "Yeah, good looks run in the family."

Mom rolled her eyes and smacked him in the chest. Dad placed his hands on his chest like she had stabbed him and his eyes widened in shock. "Abusive much?" He asked, appalled.

Mom laughed and poked his side. "Grow up, Jake." She said playfully.

Dad poked her back and said, "You grow up."

Charlie spoke up now, "Geez, both of you guys grow up. I swear, I wonder about you two sometimes."

We all laughed at my parent's childishness. Dad's face turned serious and said, "Cody, we sent Leana home, but she was really torn up about it. I know you want to see her, but you just phased and you can't for a while. We'll just tell her you went to stay with Grandpa Swan for a few weeks."

I nodded as Sam J turned to me now. "I still have a lot to teach you. You know about vampires and imprinting but we need to get you in patrol schedules. This works out great, Collin's wife just had a baby and Brady's wife just found out she's pregnant so they're both about ready to stop phasing, so you phasing right now is gonna work out great."

Dad and Sam J talked more about Collin and Brady, and then Sam and I went back out into the woods. We spent the rest of the night running the border. We only stopped once, on the line of the Cullen's so I could smell them and familiarize myself with it so I didn't accidentally attack them while they were hunting.

I ran back to my house around dawn and went to bed. I heard everyone leaving around seven for school and work. I woke up around one that afternoon and went downstairs. There was a note from mom on the fridge telling me not to leave except for when Sam wanted me to start patrol, which was around two. So, I sat in the kitchen eating until I had to go patrol.
