A/N: Sorry so late. Something Short and Sweet.

Faceless Moon Chapter 11

Jacob's POV:

The water feels great. I really needed to relax and figure out what I'm going to say to the council tomorrow. They are going to want to know why I came back and why I am not in pain from being so far away from Renessmee. The truth is I haven't felt that type of pain for a while. Last year, the pain felt more like a mosquito bite that wouldn't subside. Six months ago, the imprint went away as if the pain was never there. At that time I knew the imprint was broken, but I'm still wondering how. That's a question I need to ask my dad. Why do I suddenly feel so strongly towards Leah? I feel like I need to protect her from all of the evils and dangers in the world. Even though she is a wolf herself and can take care of herself, my wolf is starting to react whenever she is mention, seen, or even thought about. Nonetheless, I will get answers from the council tomorrow. They can tell me what is going on.

Mmmmh, this water feels great. I take another deep dive into the water, trying to wash all of the stress away. I swim back up and make my way to the surface. The minute I reach the surface I smelt him. That familiar wolfy order hit me like a ton of bricks on a high latter. What the hell does he want? He was the last person I wanted to see. First, he steals my mate, and then he tries to rub it in my face. God, I hope he goes away so I can enjoy my swim.

I walk out of the water and grab my shirt so I can dry my face. I turn to the wood to see Paul stalking towards me in his wolf form. Baring his teeth, I hear a low, deep growl that could only be interpreted as a threat of some sort. My wolf didn't like being challenged so boldly. I could feel him scratching at the surface trying to break free. I suppress my rising anger and try to talk to him.

"Paul, I'm not going to talk to you unless you phase back." He searches my eyes, as I did his, and tried to find something. After about a minute he phases back and puts on his cut offs.

"What did you do to her, Jacob? I thought it was made clear to stay away from her until the bonfire. What did you do?" I was at a loss of words. I had no idea what he was talking about or how he knew I went to go see her.

"First, we never made that agreement and I can see her whenever I chose. Second, what the hell are you talking about? I did nothing to her. As a matter of fact, I helped her. I went to her house to go talk to her but when I go there she was passed out on the bathroom floor. Therefore, I helped her. I have no clue to what you're bitchin' about!" I explained. Damn, how many times do I have to repeat this story tonight? I just wanted to go for a swim so I can clear my head.

"After you left, she fainted in my arm as she opened the door! She couldn't have just fainted randomly! You did something to her I know you did!" Paul yelled as he got in my face. What is this boldness about this guy? He's not even beta and he has the balls to challenge me. I have got to get my title back. But wait, did he say Leah fainted after I left? That must be why I felt weak the minute I hit to woods running from her house.

"Fainted?! What do you mean she fainted? How the hell did she faint? She was fine when I left. She was a little anger but physically she was fine. What is it you're not telling me, Paul?!" This didn't make any sense. I find her lay out on the bathroom floor. I wake her up only to have her yell at me. Then, Paul tells me she pass out again. There is something wrong with Leah and I need to know NOW!

"I don't know! She was fine until you got here! What the hell are you doing back anyway, leech lover? Shouldn't you be in Alaska with that spawn of an imprint, letting her suck the life out of you? Oh yea, that's right, she couldn't suck you if she wanted too. WHAT DID YOU DO TO LEAH?! I'm not going to ask you again."

"I said I did nothing to her. Now, I keep telling you the same thing but obviously you are too slow to understand so let me say it slower for you. I. Did. Nothing. To. Her. She. Was. Fine. When. I. Left." I spoke the words as slow as I could. That did it for him. I suddenly felt his right hook connect with my jaw. I stumbled back a little, then in a flash I felt my wolf takeover my body. I really didn't want to hurt Paul, but my wolf was out for blood. About a second after I phase, so did Paul.

I charged towards him, aiming for his throat. I wanted him to submit. Paul charged for my leg hoping to bring me down. I dodged his attack, then charged for his throat again, only to land face first in the ground behind him. I got up and started to circle him, looking for an opening. Paul did the same but messed up when he tried to aim for my hind leg. The rage in his memory was so thick and vivid, that I could feel my own anger building. The hairs on my neck rose and my wolf then goes into Alpha mode. I turned my body so he couldn't reach my hind legs. I then took the opportunity to bite his neck forcing him to submit.

"Paul, stop I don't want to hurt you." I let go and jumped back hoping to talk to him. He didn't give me a chance. His anger was blinding. The memories of Leah, stuck in her own depression, wanting to end her life before Paul help her, filled my mind. He was showing me everything. When she fainted, he thought she was hurt. He doesn't know what happened either but he wanted me to pay for her unending pain. Man, he really does love Leah. But she is mine. He can't have her. He charged towards me again. I couldn't take it I only see red by this point. I jumped out of the way of his attack and bite down on his neck once more. This time, I shook my head, hoping to leave a scar after this whole fight was done. The next thing I knew, Paul's body goes limp and phases back to his human form. Snapping out of my rage, I drop Paul on the ground and phase back. God, I hope he is ok. I would never forgive myself if I would have just killed my pack brother.

"Paul! Paul! Paul, speak to me. I'm sorry, man!" I search his neck and noticed his was healing and nothing was wrong with him, besides being knocked out. I pick him up and set him against the tree. About five minutes later, Paul starts to come to.

"Jacob? Damn man do you have to be so damn ruff?" Whew, he is ok. Thank Taha Aki. I chuckle and help him up.

"Sorry, but I'll tell you everything at the bonfire just get up and get some clothes on will you." He chuckles, and then scowls possibly remembering why we fought in the first place. Leah fainted.

I help him up off of the ground. No matter how much we fight, we are still brothers and would never truly try to hurt each other. Paul wipes himself off then runs behind a bush to put on his shorts. I do the same. He comes back and stares at me with a disapproving eye. The hate in him is deep for me. I can tell he loves Leah and doesn't want to do the same as Sam and myself but I can also tell he is scared that it will happen.

"Why did you come back, Jacob? I want to know the truth and I want to know now." He demanded. I could see there was no way of getting around this without another fight. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding in and started to tell him everything. From the beginning to the end, he listened intently as I spoke.

After I finished, I could see the confusion on his face and mirrored Seth's.

"So, you're her because you believe you imprinted on Leah? My Leah? That's the dumbest thing I ever heard. I can't what 'til everyone hears this, shit." His laugh was menacing.

"Look, whether you believe me or not, it's the truth and I'm here to get answers and to get back in the pack. She's NOT your Leah! I'm determined to win her back. We belong together. You still haven't imprinted and could imprint at any time but I have. And somehow the imprint is gone."

"Wait, how do you know it's Nahuel, Renessmee is with and not someone else?" That was a good question but why would Paul of all people think about that?

"Because that's the only logical person it could be. She only hung out with him and this kid named Jason."

"Who, the fuck, is Jason?" Paul asked.

"He is the Alaskan Chief's nephew and the Beta of their pack. That's beside the point. Nessie and Nahuel are both hybrids and everytime she's around him, my wolf goes haywire. Who else would it be?"

"I don't know. It could be that Jason guy you're talking about. You never know. I mean if she imprinted on you and it 'broke,' so you say. What makes you think she couldn't have got with that Jason kid?" He has a point. Wow, I never thought of it that way. And the more I think about it, she was with this kid a lot before Nahuel came into town.

"Damn, you know, you're actually right for a change. She was with him a lot before Nahuel came to Alaska. Why didn't I see it soon…" Before I could finish my sentence, my cell phone goes off. I forgot. I had it in my pocket.

"Hello." It was Mason.

"Hey Jake, I have something to tell you and you're not going to like it."
