Leah? Phasing? Okay maybe Sam was right about me shitting myself.
This is fucked up. But I don't understand why everyone is phasing and I hope it stops and soon.
I hung up with Sam as I pulled into his drive way. I saw Embry, Leah, Jared, Jacob and Sam on the front lawn.
Leah was pacing muttering about how fucked up life was. No kidding.
I walked to Sam and stood next to him looking over our 3 new pack members. What the hell is going on?
"I'm going to talk to Billy tomorrow before the bonfire to see why this is happening."
I nodded and looked at Jacob who seemed to have a dreamy look on his face. "What's up with Black?" I asked too low for him to hear but loud enough for Sam.
Sam rolled his eyes annoyed. "He's been thinking about Bella...again. I told him that she doesn't feel the same. But he thinks that with The Cullen's gone he can change her mind."
I growled shaking slightly. My wolf clawed inside wanting to state and fight for what was mine.
Sam laid his hand on my shoulder. "Easy." He said soothingly and I willed myself not to attack baby alpha.
"She accepted the bond anyway, there's nothing he can do. Once a soul bonded mate accepts that they are destined for a wolf, the bond is unbreakable."
I nodded letting his words wash over me. I was still worried though. My ear twitched as I heard a car coming up the gravel.
After about a minute, Chief Swan's car pulled up. What's he doing here? Is something wrong? Swan?
I tensed as he walked over to us, and stopped in front of me. "Is Bella alright?" I asked. Charlie gave a laugh. "She's fine son."
I nodded in relief. "So what are you doing here Charlie?" I asked giving him a smile. I liked the guy. He was pretty cool.
"Oh yeah. Bella said she forgot her necklace here and wanted me to come get it. Do you know where it is?" He asked.
Leah scoffed at something Embry said and Charlie looked over now noticing the people in Sam's front yard. He looked at them all and his eyes settled on Leah.
She was yelling at Embry and she was shaking. Oh no, this is bad. But I also found it funny.
Charlie walked towards them ready to stop them but I grabbed his arm as Sam tried to drag Leah into the woods.
"NO!" She yelled at him and she became a blur and then in her place was a gray wolf. Her fur was similar to mine but way lighter.
Charlie gasped and stumbled back and I held him upright. Hearing his gasp Leah turned around snarling. Her eyes settled on Charlie and her eyes widened.
She looked like she imprinted on Charlie but I could see the difference. She still had a part of herself. Well I'll be dammed, another Soul bond.
"wh-how?" Charlie asked staring at Leah's form. Sam also noticed the exchange and he smiled to himself.
I knew Sam well enough that all he wanted was for Leah to find someone even if he is Charlie Swan. (Charlie is 44 and Leah is 24.)
They looked kind of nice together.
Leah unphased and Charlie stumbled forward still in shock. Emily came outside and looked at us all before her eyes settled on Leah and then Charlie.
They were practically leaning towards one another. "Em. Call Bella and tell her to come over please."
Sam called watching over Leah and Charlie closely. The alpha in him guarding the scene carefully.
I heard Emily pattering around inside and dialing Swan's number. I saw Jacob get an excited look on his face and then he frowned and looked at me.
I gave him a smirk in return and he just glared at me. Well fuck you too.
We were maybe standing outside for about 20 minutes when I heard her hunk of a junk piece of crap truck pulling up. God that thing was old. She slowly pulled to a stop and her eyes landed on me and she smiled.
I smirked at her and as soon as her door was open Jacob was there...hugging her. My mate. Calm down Lahote, she's still his friend.
Sam was much farther, and I was sure he couldn't hear much as he was on a higher hill.
I growled as I saw him stare intently into her eyes trying to will the imprint but nothing and a confused look from Bella.
"Uhh Jake? What are you doing?" My mate asked and I started to make my way towards them. "Um uh nothing." He said quickly.
I snorted as I grabbed my Swan from his arms and hugged her close. Hmmm My Swan? I like the sound of that.
"Paul." She breathed into my chest. "Hi Swan." I murmured into her neck and then I was bombarded with so much anger I almost shook.
I looked up to see Jacob looking at us in disbelief and heart break and so much anger. Then he opened his big fucking mouth.
"Bella? You're with Paul? Seriously of all people? Paul. What would make you-?" Jacob stopped suddenly as if realizing something. He looked back at Leah and Charlie and then to Bella and myself.
He started to shake and I pulled Bella behind me taking careful steps backwards and held onto her waist knowing she was still there.
"Jacob calm down. I know how you feel-" Jacob snarled. Wrong choice of words Lahote...
"How I feel?! You stole the love of my fucking life! You don't deserve her!" He roared and then he tried reaching around me to Bella and I snarled baring my teeth at him.
I was breathing hard and ready to pounce but the safety of my Swan came first, before anything else. "Didn't Sam explain all the bonds to you?" I growled at him still backing us up the drive way and we were now on the little hill of Sam's drive way.
"He doesn't know what he's talking about. Nobody has every tried." He yelled still trying to reach for Bella. I crouched in front of her and growled. We were still a little ways from Sam and the other's.
So I took a chance. I didn't want to kill baby alpha but trust me I wanted to hurt him. "Swan, go get Sam." It was like I had two sides of myself.
I was very aware who was in front of me but I could feel when Bella moved and quickly glanced to Bella to see her walking slowly towards the house and I could feel her fear. My mate should never be scared.
And then it happened so fast. Jacob charged at me and knocked me over quickly and ran up the hill towards Bella. I stood quickly running after him and he was so fast.
And I wished with every fiber of my being that I could've stopped what happened. That I wish I was faster. Jacob phased...right next to Swan. And Sam was right behind her, a few feet away running towards us no doubt feeling the anger. Jacob's claws sent her flying straight into Sam knocking him down and I heard his ribs crack as well as hers.
I growled in anguish and anger phasing. I charged at Jacob knocking him over and bit his neck quickly making him submit to me. I roared at him daring him to get up.
I trotted to my swan and alpha nudging her head with my nose. I was so angry I couldn't phase back. "Bella!" I heard Charlie yell and saw him running towards us with Leah behind him.
I whined when she didn't open her eyes. There was so much blood and a long gash running down the left side of her face neck and down to her left arm stopping at her hand.
I watched as Sam looked at Bella with a tortured face. "I'll get her to the hospital." His voice was tight and I whined again. Sam knew why I couldn't turn human and ordered me.
I phased back shaking violently. I followed Sam to his truck as Charlie climbed in as well.
Sam put her in the back and quickly got into the front. Emily was suddenly at the door and gave us bunch of towels and hopped in as well. How many people could fit in here? "Add pressure to her wounds." Sam snapped as he sped down the street. I still shook but applied as much pressure and hoped that my mate was okay.
And I vowed Jacob Black would pay dearly for what he did, future alpha or not.
