It was the middle of the night when I work with a start, sleeping was all I seemed to be doing lately… since changed into a wolf. I rolled over and stood to scan the area around the house, maybe something was wrong. I padded around in a slow circle around the house, sniffing and peering around, nothing seemed to be wrong but still… something was giving me the heebie-jeebies. I wheeled around and started a perimeter check around the reservation, I did love my dad and his family but I couldn't be selfish enough to offer only them my protection.

I did a few laps around the reservation and nothing appeared to be wrong so I trotted back to my spot in the forest. I didn't feel like laying down or stopping moving so I paced back and forth, mowing a track through the grass where I didn't tread often. The sun was starting to peak out from the horizon and I was still pacing when I heard the back door of dad's house creak open. I let an involuntary growl rumble from my lips and strained my hearing and nose to see who it was, friend or foe. I let a silly huff fall from my lips when I saw it was just dad walking around on the porch with a mug of coffee in hand.

He sighed, leaning on the railing and set the chipped mug aside and resting his head in his hands. I let a whine of sympathy slip from my lips when his head snapped up, obviously hearing the sound. His voice trembled as he spoke;

"Mackayla… if that is you, can you come out?"

I paused and felt my breathing stop completely, making me feel light headed and dizzy. Did he know what I am?

"I know it's scary and you don't know what happened to you but… can you come out?"

I felt a million emotions sweep through me, confusion, betrayal, elation; they were only some of them.

"Macky… can you do this for me?"

I watched him and still felt frozen, how could I? What if he hated me for what I am? What if he kicked me out of the only slightly remote place where I might possible be able to live and harness… what I am? I let out another whimper and dropped to my stomach at the edge of the tree line, crawling forwards slowly, trying to show that I wasn't a threat to him.

I had only my head and shoulders out when I saw dad exhale harshly and drop to his knees of the porch, gripping the sides of his head and shutting his eyes so tightly I was afraid he wouldn't open them again. I leapt to my paws and surged forwards, standing above him, scenting him and whimpering at him. Was he okay? Was he having a heart attack? No, his heart rate seemed only slightly elevated. I poked him with my nose and scented him, he smelt healthy enough. I felt my fear grow further as he continued not to move and just stay still… locked in whatever hell was only his own. But then again I was pretty sure I could have a guess and get it pretty close. His bastard and first born was a freakishly huge wolf that had thrown herself in front of his car and run off…

I heard the back door bang and saw Leah dart over to were dad was crouched, still not moving but breathing fast through his mouth. She gave me a look but just crouched down next to him a whispered to him quietly, trying to soothe him and bring him around. I couldn't bear to watch me kill dad slowly by what I was… am, a monster. I threw myself in the direction and went thundering away, covering the miles like they were nothing, which they weren't to me. All I was trying to do was to run away from what I had caused, what I am, something I can't change.

All too soon I realised that I couldn't run from what I was… am, I would just have to try and deal with it like a normal person would. I let out a sarcastic laugh in my head that came out as a weird huff in wolf from. What normal person would have to deal with this? What normal person would have to deal with living with vampires as family? My inner voice mocked me and I let out a heart breaking mournful howl, maybe this is some kind of karma for having vampires as family.

Jacob's Pov

Leah, the boys and I were headed to Port Angeles for the day to go shopping and have some fun because La Push and Forks were limited with the… range of entertainment they had to offer. Once again I felt my mind drifting to Mackayla, she had been missing a little over two months with no sign of her. Just the thought alone almost sent me into a fit of worry. Had she been taken by other vampires? Had she come up with a way to trick them into thinking she had left no scent and run away? The worst thought of all that came to mind was had she… phased? I mean Leah phased years ago and women weren't supposed to phase at all and she wasn't living with vampires… Mackayla was living in the same house since she had been born.

Leah gripped my hand that was clenched onto the gear shift and offered me a small smile. We had come a long way, she used to be that bitter woman who despised what the spirits had done to her, Emily and Sam even though she had no control over it and now… she was a committed wife and mother to our three boys. It turned out that she could have children, just like a regular wolf her breeding cycles kicked in a little after two years after she phased… that the same as a normal what would happen to a normal wolf. I also changed, after I helped give Bella my child I also realised my mistake… what I hadn't seen in her when I had been younger and naive. She was a self-absorbed manipulative bitch.

I claimed Leah a while later after we got to know each other, it also turns out that the rightful alpha of the pack was destined to never imprint. It said something about always been able to carry on the bloodline as long as the alpha should choose to live. It also seemed kind of fitting that I claim Leah, I mean the council's view on imprints and mates was that it was to make stronger wolves for the next generation… I mean two wolf parents had to be pretty strong. Not that I ever wanted my children to phase, I wouldn't wish it upon any of them. It was a dark time in my life and I wouldn't anyone have to experience it that didn't have too.

Leah snapped me from my distressing train of thought by saying something funny and sarcastic, I soon found myself laughing along with her. I looked to her momentarily and back to the road and felt my eyes going wide and my hands grip the steering wheel harder than a vice. There was a car speeding towards us with the driver looking unconscious, his whole body slumped forwards. I was still in shock of what to do and saw Leah in the same state as me, she looked to me momentarily before gripping my hand and looking back at the kids with huge, scared eyes. In a flash of something a light russet colour and a screeching impact the car ploughed into the bear.

I jammed the breaks on and saw the other car flip a few times past us and land on the roof behind our car, narrowly missing my vehicle. I looked in front and saw the beast staring at me, our eyes connecting. That is when I felt my breathing stop, it wasn't a bear, it was a huge wolf, those eyes weren't animal eyes, they had a human quality about them. The great animal limped off the road and up the rise before I lifted its paw and let a great howl tumble for it huge jaws. It limped into the forest until I couldn't see it anymore and I looked to Leah who was wearing a similar expression to me. We both turned to the back seat and looked at the kids who were all asleep, I couldn't help but smile at that, they were so young and innocent…
