A/N: Sorry it took me so long to upload a new chapter. I've been extremely busy. I'm writing the next chapter as we speak. Hopefully it will be tonight. Thanks for all of the support.


Leah POV

Class was ok. Now that everything is done I can focus on the pack and making sure Seth graduates.

Ring Ring!

Ok, who could be calling me, now.

"Hello?" It was Seth and just by the low growl I could here through the phone. Something was wrong.

"Seth, what wrong?" He hesitated for a second before answering.

"Leah, I don't know how to tell you this but…" He paused for a minute. A minute that almost killed me.

"Seth!"

"…Jacob's back, Leah."

"What do you mean, he's back?" I shouted. "When did he get back?"

"This morning...I think. We just left Billy's house not too long ago. He was there when we first arrived." I could hear nervousness creep up in his voice.

"When and how did you find out he was back? Why is it that I'm just now finding this out?" I yelled.

"Quil was visiting Billy, when Jake arrived with bags at his door step. Quil ran out the back door, phased, and howled for his pack. The howl was so ear piercingly loud that Paul, Embry, and I had to go check it out. We went to Billy's house to see Jake bringing in his bags."

"So, how long is he staying, when is he leaving, and where is Nessie?" I could feel my wolf struggling to come out, but I held her back until I could get home.

"I don't know. I think he may be here for good, and I have no idea where Nessie is. With him is where she was not. Lee, it didn't even look like he was in pain at all. I told him he had to explain it to all of us at the bonfire. I gave him a day to get settled. I hope that is ok." I couldn't help but smile at my brother. When I'm gone he always seems to be able to do what needs to be done.

"That's fine, Seth, you did fine. If I know Jake, I have a feeling that he will tell us before the bonfire. He wouldn't want Sam to know."

"I think he still has feelings for you, Lee. He may tell you alone. Whatever is going on, he better have a damn good explanation or his ass is mine…with your permission of course."

I had to laugh. After all of these years, Seth still asks for my permission. Something is telling me, Jacob is going to want his position as alpha back. If he does, he will have to work really hard for it. I had to tell myself not to think about him too much. Each time I think about him for too long, I end up fainting or passing out. Almost like, his not being here is causing it. It's been going on for about six months now and no one knows besides me.

"Well, we will see what happens. I should be home in about an hour so I don't want anyone doing anything while I'm gone. Let him get settled and we will decide what to do with him tomorrow."

"Billy said we can't kick him out though. As much as I miss Jake, I don't want to see you hurt again Leah."

"You don't have to worry about me, Seth. I have Paul."

"But Leah, Paul still hasn't imprinted. What if…"

"I don't want to hear it, Seth."

I can't go through that again. Just wait until I get there to do anything. We will call a pack meeting and we can decide then. If Jake wants my position he's going to have to fight for it.

"Ok Leah, just hurry home ok." Seth said.

"I will, little brother. Bye."

Once I got off the phone with Seth, I could feel my body shaking. The anger took over me with so much force I had to pull over in order to calm myself down. Jake was back and he wanted his position back. How dare he come back to La Push and expect everyone to be happy with seeing him. Hell, after the fifth year of him being gone, everyone got use to him not being there. Everyone moved on. Now he wants to come back and throw off the progress we all have made in the last few years. URGH! I have got to get home and fast.

I arrive home sometimes after and I see Paul and Seth sitting on my couch watching a Red Skins game.

"Hey sis," Seth says as he gets up to greet me at the door.

"Hey Seth, I need to talk to Paul for a second can you bring this to my room, please?" I hand Seth my bags.

"Sure, we have to talk about the Jake situation though so I'm going to put these up then go get Embry. I'll be back in 30."

"Ok, whatever." Seth leaves the room and runs upstairs to put up my bags. I turn to Paul and notice that he hasn't moved from his spot nor has he taken his eyes off of the screen in front of him.

"Paul, we have to talk." He turns to me with hurt and anger in his eyes.

"So, talk. Where have you been lately, Leah?"

"Excuse me? You know where I've been, Paul. We talked about this yesterday. What's wrong with you?"

"You know, now I'm not so sure you are telling the truth. What's going on with you and Jacob?"

WOW! Did he really just ask me that question? I just find out that Jacob is back and he asks me if there is something going on between us? I could feel my body starting to tremble. So was his.

"Are you serious, Paul? I just found out Jake was back and you ask me if I'm seeing him?" I stared in his eyes searching for the unanswered truth. He said nothing.

"No, Paul. There is nothing going on between Jacob and me." I was now yelling at the top of my lungs.

"I had to find out from Seth that Jake was back." I search somewhere deep into the depths of his eyes and in an instant I found what I was looking for.

"You think I told him to come back, don't you?"

"Well, did you?"

"You have got to be kidding me right now." He wasn't, but why would he want to know that. He was angry about something so repulsive to me, it made me sick to my stomach.

"NO, PAUL, FOR THE LAST TIME, NO! Why would that even cross your mind?" I paused, thinking about why Paul would make his self sound guilty, all the while try to catch me in something.

For the past few days, Paul's wolf mind has been on Jacob. On how he was going to win and Jake would never have me. How, no matter what, he would never let me go. But why would he think I was leaving him? Then, I thought about the night I talk to Jacob last. I phased back into my wolf form sometime after. Somehow images of Paul and I came to mind. The images didn't come from Paul's mind though. They came from…

"Paul what did you do? Did you tell Jacob about us? Please tell me you didn't show Jacob images of us? Did you… did you?" His gaze screamed remorse and apology.

"Leah, I'm sorry, baby. But you have to understand, Lee that…"

"That what, Paul?" I screamed.

"That, I will not lose you to him, Leah! I refuse to."

That surprised me. I didn't know he felt that way. "Leah, you have let people hurt you in ways, I couldn't even imagine. I love you, and I will not let him have you." 'Let him have me?' what does he mean 'Let him have me?' That's it. I've had it with this bull shit.

"First off, it's not your decision to make. Secondly, if I wanted Jacob, I would be with him having this discussion, not you. Third, this is not a competition between you two to see who gets the alpha female. I choose who I want to be with, not either of you. I suggest you get your head out of your ass and realize that I'm not going anywhere anytime soon…unless you imprint."

I could tell the word imprint was a sticky subject for him. The way his body tensed at the mere mention of the word gave him away. He got up, took off his cut-off short, and tied them to his ankle. He then walk out the door bursting into a grey and silver wolf in the process. URGH! He can be so emotional sometimes.

After Paul left, I went up stairs and got in the shower. As the water ran over me, I closed my eyes thinking about what I should do about Jake. Why is he back? Where is Renessmee? The more I think about him, the dizzier I became. Then suddenly…darkness.
