Hey guys, I'm sorry I haven't updated this for a while; I'm recovering from severe writer's block :-P
Steph stepped forward and held her hand out towards her; Leah took it gingerly and allowed Steph to lead her into the house. The whole room went quiet as they walked in; no one was expecting Leah to actually come inside. The pack was now littered around the dining room eating anything and everything they could get their hands on.
Steph lead Leah over to the empty seat next to Paul while she settled on his lap; he nuzzled her neck and purred quietly so no one else could hear. She sighed and laid her head on his wide chest.
"Hey Leah… your hair looks nice." She felt Paul's chest rumble as he spoke; Leah turned to him with a glare that could wither plants. He held his hands up in surrender but said nothing. Steph chuckled…. there goes the polite Leah.
Sam looked over at Leah with a sad expression; she didn't squirm under his stare.
"What?" She snapped; his eyes narrowed then softened. The rest of the guys in the room looked away, he was alpha; she wasn't supposed to talk to him like that. Sam sighed and wiped his hand over his face before speaking,
"There's a bonfire tonight at seven in honor of Seth and Leah's arrival to the pack. Everyone should be there, well everyone except Jared and Quil who have patrol." He said simply; the guys took it as a cue to leave.
"Seth and Leah. You can stay over for a few days while you work on control." He grunted; Leah shot out of her seat and left the house. She'd rather sleep in the forest than in a house with the bane of her existence. Samuel Uley. Oh let's not forget her backstabber of a cousin Emily Young.
Steph looked up at Emily who was silently washing the dishes, staying strong as always and refusing to be a victim in her own home. Then her gaze shifted to Sam, he looked slightly torn, hurt even. Paul was the object of her gaze now, she pleaded with her eyes. He looked down at her like she was crazy.
"Please." She whispered; he looked away and scratched the back of his neck.
"Pretty please." She pleaded further as she pressed her body against his; he exhaled through his nose and looked down to her.
"Only for a few days." She told him as she placed small kisses on his naked chest; she looked up with doe eyes and he cursed under his breath.
"Ok fine but only for a few days." He grunted; she smiled and ran from the house to find Leah. Steph lifted her nose to the sky and sniffed; she followed the scent in a fast jog. She stepped over material that she realized were Leah's shredded clothing. Amateur.
Steph pulled her dress over her head and phased.
Leah! Where are you going? – Steph
I don't care! Im not staying in a house with the bitch and the bastard.– Leah
Steph ran harder, Leah was leaving La Push and fast; she couldn't let her cross into Cullen territory.
Lee, you've gotta stop; you're gonna pass into Cullen territory. If you do that you'll start a war! – Steph warned.
Leah stopped immediately; her nose was burning.
What the hell is that stench? – Leah
Steph barked out a laugh as she approached Leah's stationary form slowly.
That my friend, is that smell of vampires – Steph
Oh…well they stink – Leah grumbled as she turned and nudged Steph with her muzzle. Together they strolled their way back towards Sam's.
You can stay with Paul and me- Steph offered
Seriously? – Leah
Yeah, Paul said it was okay; you know, until you get your phasing under control – Steph
Thanks – Leah answered sincerely.
It's fine. Like I said, us wolf girls have to stick together – Steph.
The girls approached Paul's house; he wasn't home yet. Probably still over at Sam and Emily's; Steph phased and put her clothes on before running inside to get Leah something. She quickly picked out a blue dress and jogged back out. The grey wolf let out a prolonged whine; Steph tapped her foot on the floor impatiently.
"I know okay but I just grabbed it and ran…." She apologized as she tried to put it in her mouth; Leah stepped back and whined again before turning towards the house.
"No, im not going to get something else, it's just a dress. Man up!" Steph laughed; Leah growled loudly before snatching it away and phasing right there. Steph averted her eyes as the older girl got dressed.
"I hate dresses." She grumbled as she put it on; Steph thought she looked pretty cute.
"It looks fine, the house is right there anyway so you can just pick some clothes." They started towards the cottage.
"Thanks again for letting me stay, you didn't have to."
"It's fine; don't worry about it… hungry?" Steph asked as she pulled out four leftover containers from the microwave; it was actually a rhetorical question.
"Here." She breathed as she handed Leah a plate towered with food; she mumbled a thank-you and immediately dug in. Damn she was hungry. She shoveled some fish in her mouth then froze. She swallowed thickly.
"My dad used to make salmon just like this." She offered; Steph cleared her throat nervously. She wasn't about to tell her that Emily had cooked it.
"Im sorry about Harry; he was a great man." She breathed as she sat down at the table with a bag of chips; Leah looked up and smiled weakly.
"Yeah he was." Steph nodded weakly as guilt washed over her body like a wave; she still thought about the day he had died. It was about a month ago now, they were chasing Victoria when it all went down. He had a heart attack right there in his own living room; Steph wasn't sure how she could have stopped it but she felt guilty none the less.
"So what the deal with your dad?" Her eyes snapped up to Leah's.
"Your dad's Jamal Meyer right?" She asked curiously.
"Yeah."
"So what's the deal? How come he let's you stay with Paul? You're like sixteen, right?" Steph shifted uncomfortably in her seat; she wasn't sure she wanted to speak about it.
"I'm seventeen now." She justified; Leah raised an eye brow so she continued.
"Me and my dad." She admitted. "…We don't really talk too much, haven't for six months now."
"Why?" Leah asked bluntly; Steph cleared her throat.
"He doesn't agree with my relationship with Paul." She admitted; Leah finished her plate and got up to go to the sink.
"That's it? That's why you don't speak to your own dad? Because of him?" Leah just didn't get it.
"It wasn't that simple, he thinks I'm wasting my time because one day, sooner or later, Paul's gonna get up and eve me whether he likes it or not." She replied awkwardly; Leah's eye brows furrowed. Steph had forgotten that the younger wolf wasn't aware of imprinting yet. She wasn't sure whether to tell her now or let her find out later.
"What about your mom?" Steph smiled a little.
"Me and mom are cool; she doesn't mind Paul….. In fact I think she actually likes him; she comes around about once a week, bearing foodage." Leah raised and eye brow.
"Foodage?" Steph shrugged her shoulders.
"Foodage just means food….come on Leah keep up." She laughed; Leah rolled her eyes then shook her head.
-0000-
Leah sat on Paul and Steph's bed watching the younger girl sort through her overflowing wardrobe for extra clothes.
"How about this Lee?" She asked as she held up a black halter neck dress with white trimmings; Leah grimaced.
"Oh come on, dresses are much easier than a tank and top. You can get them on and off in like a second." Steph argued; Leah just huffed.
"Well, you can wear it to the bonfire. We're about the same size anyway." She shrugged as she handed it to her; Leah looked over sat the time. Six thirty. They were supposed to be leaving soon.
"Babe!" Steph's eyes widened as she ran from the bedroom and down the hallway; Paul walked towards her with a lob sided grin. She jumped into his arms and locked her heels just above his ass; he pushed his lips onto hers.
"I missed you." She told him as he lowered them onto the couch so she was straddling his waist.
"Missed you too." He mumbled into her mouth as he turned them over so he was on top; his wolf could only be non-dominant for so long. Her hand tangled in his hair while his trailed down her body until they reached the hem of her dress; she laughed and stopped him.
"We can't." She breathed; he growled loudly and tried again. She giggled and stopped him again.
"Leah's in the other room." That didn't deter him.
"Then we give her a show." He grunted pleadingly.
"Later." She answered firmly as she pecked his lips before slithering out from under him.
"Leah?" She called; the older girl appeared in the doorway with a hint of a blush on her face. Well this was uncomfortable; she would have to get used to these new senses.
"We should probably leave now." Steph stated awkwardly and then they did.
