A/N: Sorry I haven't updated as fast as I usually do. Just needed some time to think about the plot and what's going to happen next :)
Chapter 9
"Anyway, so how did you and Nathan meet then?" Rose cuts in just as I was about to give into Alice's pouting.
"Well, as you both know my father is still alive-"
"Wait, What?"
"Do your mom and Seth know?"
Shaking my head I say, "No they don't. They are not his family. No Alice, not even Seth. Sue was pregnant before my father came to live with her. I doubt that she even knows who the father is, but my dad still took us to live with her anyway. My mother cast a spell over everyone, to make it seem as though my father and Sue where married and had another kid on the way. That everything was normal and in no way anyone, including Seth's real father could intervene and claim Seth as his own. They made the plan so elaborate that Sue actually believed that my father loved her and that she was his imprint. The thing is that she wasn't and when he "died" the spell broke, some people didn't start to doubt my birth but the feelings that Sue had for my father were gone."
"Leah, why didn't you tell Seth the truth? I've seen the way you two are together, it's as if you really are brother and sister."
"If I told him the truth Alice, he would hate me for it along with my dad. I can't have that knowing that I destroyed his happiness. His fond memories of my father and to know that one of the elders is truly his father would be devastating. Unlike Embry who has been wondering his whole life, Seth would fall apart." I tell them grimly.
"Leah, I think you have to give Seth more credit than that. You might know him best, but you also have to believe in him that trust you show him. Use it I know that he could never hate you, be mad at you sure, but hate you never. He admires you too much." Rose says grabbing my hand and giving it a squeeze.
"Thanks Rose," I say wiping my eyes. I can't believe that I started to cry what has the world come too?
"Oh wow, we got so off topic. Um right, so my dad is still alive. Ever since I was little he's been training me and I've known the truth. So once it was time for him to disappear we made it look like he died of a heart attack, because I changed wolf. There is actually nothing in his coffin. We used a masking spell to make it seem like he was still there but he wasn't. He was already home with my mother by that time. He told me to wait here for safety for a few more years before I could depart. However, a year after the Volturi confrontation he got into contact with me… Your family trip could not have come at a better time. So while you all went to Alaska and assumed I was moping in my room. I did go to California. When I arrived is when I met Nathan, he was my bodyguard assigned to me. At first I had been wondering why I needed a bodyguard, but it soon became evident that people were still trying to kidnap me. They tried to marry me and make me bear their children for the title. However, Nate was excellent at what he did."
"Why, thank you. You know if you had told me that earlier a lot of things could have been easier." Nate says smirking from the door. He takes the seat by me again and relaxes. Everything must have gone well he seems in a happy mood.
"Leah, the story?"
"Oh right, sorry about that-"
"Geez Leah, once McDreamy pops in you start to lose your thoughts, Wow, I never thought I see the day that you were whipped." Rose says with a huge smirk on her face. Ughh now I'll never hear the end of it.
"Anyway, at the time I had no idea that I was to be married and that there had be suitors waiting for me at the hotel. So once I got there I freaked, my dad was none too pleased and my mom understood. It was really nice meeting my mom for the first time. She was wonderful and she's the best mom anyone could ask for. So as the week went by it was horrible, every suitor was ridiculous. They were all witches or warlocks I should say, none of the werewolf's had wanted to send suitors they wanted to kidnap me to force me into being their bride. However little did I know that, yonder over here was next in line to be alpha in his tribe and was also a candidate. He just wasn't my bodyguard. So once I fell for him I tried to hide it but that didn't turn out so well. My father had been furious that he hadn't known who my bodyguard truly was and my mother was ecstatic. Nate's parents were one of the few clans who were loyally to us so the marriage proposal was accepted. That began in our yearlong courtship."
"Yearlong? But you were here the whole year-"I interrupted Alice with a smile one my face.
"He came to visit me every month. We would go out to different places to eat and see. It was the best courtship I've ever had."
"It better have been." Nate says with a cheeky smile on his face.
"It was." I said giving him a kiss.
"So what was the wedding like?" Both Rose and Alice ask.
"Well-"
BOOM! And the door goes flying. Seth barges in like a hyper active puppy.
"Leah you'll never guess what just happen?"
"What Seth?"
"Well…"
