PERFECT SYMMETRY
15. Two's
They've come together, and they sure make quite a spectacle. Twenty wolves different in color and in size, all gathered in the clearing on broad daylight. Majestic and completely indisputable, Jacob enters the clearing, his russet colored form, imposing in a way Sam never could. He looks menacing for a moment until his tongue rolls out of his mouth when his eyes fall on her.
The all too knowing vibration makes its way through her spine,but she fights it back. She resorts to only smiling back at him, watching from the distance. Claire snuggled up in her lap, amazed but at the same time weary from the furry giant creatures.
Nessie explains her who is who. With little details of their human chacteristics taken to their wolf forms. Claire doesn't seem to understand most of it but that doesn't stop her from nodding and asking the most about Quil.
"You and my brother "Rachel observes. Her voice inflection does not give away wether she is happy or upset with the development. Rachel seems to sense Leah's hesitation into giving a straight answer so she offers her a hard smile.
"It was only a matter of time. I suppose" The comment doesn't surprise her. Rachel's never been stupid and she knows both of them, maybe more than Leah is comfortable with how it surprises her is what she says next.
"Should thank Emily and Sam for that"Rachel adds, there's the slight hint of mockery that starts to upset Leah."Paul thinks that when Sam came back without Emily, the whole alpha rivalry kicked in and well your involvement with both seemed to only fuel it. I guess Jake's finally won."
"What?"
"Don't be naive. And don't act so surprised"Rachel doesn't even bother being condscending. "You have to know what you're getting into. He has an imprint"Leah is too angry to trust herself sends both girls away with Kim.
"You'll be what his mistress, until the child is old enough?"Rachel is full on bitch mode. And hurt lingers in her face for a moment. From everyone, Rachel was someone she thought would always haver their back, her back. She had been her best friend.
"Leah belongs with Jacob. And they will be together always"It's Nessie who says it, apparently she didn't leave with Kim. She extends her little hand urging Leah to leave Jacob's sister, leading her down to the beach and away from the pack and the imprints.
"She doesn't know like I do" Nessie whispers to Leah, and then she lets the memories take over Leah's head.
"You know"Leah barely mumbles, overwhelmed with the feeling of seeing herself with Jake, from someone else's poin of view, especially hers. And waht she believes had to wait years, needs to be done now. Leha halts and kneels in front of Nessie.
"Jacob is your imprint you know that"Leah says reminding herself of that fact as well. "And I would never come between you two"
"You have to"Nessie blurts "It's not Jacob and me, Leah. It's Jacob you and me" She rarely calls her Leah but her statement knocks the wind out of her and she doesn't find the words to say anything.
Before she knows it, Jacob Black is running towards them giving her a wolfish grin as he scoops his imprint. Jake and Nessie, amused at Leah's stoic face, laugh and poke her.
The grinning, the laughing, the smiles get to her. Jacob Black's happiness is contagious and she can't resit him long. Not anymore.
Even if he comes in twos.
