Hello all! I hope you enjoy this chapter :) This is more in detail about the packs POV.
Pack POV
It was dark as Sam, Jared, and Paul waiting in the woods near the Black house wait for them to return. Sam stood against a tree watching carefully as Paul and Jared argued back and forth about what probably happened while Jacob had been gone for the day and whether or not Sam was going to skin Jacob alive upon return. Sam just shook his head rolling his eyes slightly, When Billy had called him the night before asking if he thought Jacob was good enough to go away with him and others who did not know about the pack he reluctantly said yes after a long internal battle. He told Jacob to meet him early to run laps around to reservation to get out any pent up energy and had basically lectured him the entire time about watching his anger, breathing and if necessary to just leave the area for a while if things started getting to be too much. He never wanted to have to walk a member of his pack through his own mistakes or accidentally revealing themselves to people who shouldn't know. Finally their hearing picked up the sound of the truck heading up the path, and then finally the headlights came into view through the darkness as a fog started to creep in. He nodded his head in silent command to the other two as they headed down to the house meeting the truck there.
They waited patiently as Jacob helped his father out of the truck, follow by Charlie Swan and his daughter. He looked at Jacob who nodded his head in response that everything was fine he sent a silent thanks and nodded "Help get everything unpacked." The 3 joined in with Jacob unloading certain things into the house and others into the truck of Charlie's car. He glanced over a few times to the small girl that had gone with them, she looked tired, thin and he was fairly sure paler than usual as if she had a mountain of things weighing on her shoulders. He felt badly for her knowing she and Jacob had once been close, he was still trying to help get Jacob over losing her friendship. He knew it was for the best though, she was the girlfriend of their enemy, which was hardest on Jacob most of all. Jacob had vowed to never look her in the eye again in fear of imprinting on her, he loved her since they were kids and was afraid if he did imprint on her she would still leave with the leech. She had been seen on more than one occasion leaving the leeches house, or in his car with him. The girl obviously had some kind of death wish since she hung out with not only him, but the other members of his coven as well. They checked in on her occasionally just to make sure the Cullen's hadn't broken the treaty by biting her, but she was human every time. Lately they noticed her scent wasn't as strong as it used to be, telling them she was probably not hanging around them as much. Billy told him that Charlie mentioned his daughter and her boyfriend were having more arguments as of late, which was a concern for him and the pack. If they had a bad enough argument, she was still a human and could easily be killed if the leeched lost their tempers. Even though they didn't talk to her or hang out with her, they still wanted to keep her as safe as they could it was their duty to protect the humans from the leeches.
After everything was unloaded Jacob came over to their group, "Ya, I had to leave for a while." Paul grinned standing upright crossing his arms over his broad chest,"Told you Jared, baby Alpha here couldn't handle it." Grinning as Jared rolled his eyes. "Damn, I had your back Jacob. I guess it has only been a week and a half." He pouted slightly slumping his shoulders as Sam shook his head. "Not in front of Charlie or the girl right?" Jacob shook his head "no but it was close. I told her we couldn't be friends anymore and walked away. She… She tried following me into the forest." Sam's eyes narrowed with his mouth in a grim line, "Did she see anything?" Jacob looked up at him shaking his head slightly, "No, I don't think so. She was more focused on finding me, and then she got herself lost. So I kinda scared her… a bit…to get her to move." He looked embarrassed glaring at the ground. Sam raised an eyebrow growling too lowly for any human to hear, "What do you mean Jacob? You scared her? We don't scared people on purpose Jacob." Jared and Paul chuckled slightly backing up at Sam stepped closer to Jacob there was no way they were getting in the middle, "Baby Alpha is gonna get it." Sam glanced at the small girl staring at her slightly shaking hands noticing a slight bruising around her wrist with his keen eyes. Looking back at Jacob willing him to speak, "She kept going the wrong way Sam, she was gonna get even more lost than she already was. So I made it to where she would see me looking at her in the wrong directing and she would turn the right way. I never got close to her, I swear." Sam growled a bit as Paul and Jared started laughing causing the girl to glance up at them.
Sam stilled and just said they would talk about it later as she got up to leave. They watched her give Billy a hug and start down, but Billy called after her "I will Isabella, you are always welcome here. Please remember that." She nodded quickly before turning, as she walked past the group she kept her head down until Jacob spoke to her, "I am sorry about getting you lost earlier. I just…. Needed to get away." She stilled and then looked at Jacob as he kept averting his eyes. "How did you know I got lost Jacob? I never told you that, or Charlie and Billy. I just told them I couldn't find you. Were you watching me?" The group was silent for a moment until Paul decided to break it, "It was probably a guess seeing you are an accident magnet." He chuckled as Sam growled "Paul!" making her back up slightly from the group. She looked up at him as if getting ready to say something to him when she froze, Sam looked at Paul who was standing frozen staring into her eyes as well. Sam looked over at Jacob as he glanced between the two, pain flooding over him when he realized what had just happened. Jacob growled low, "He. Did. not. Just…" Sam stepped forward a bit putting himself between Jacob and the girl when he saw him starting to shake, "Jacob calm down." She came out of her daze when her father put a hand on her shoulder "Bells it is time to go. Come on. Have a good night guys." Sam and Jared looked between Paul and the girl as he subconsciously took a step to follow her, Jared place a hand on Paul's shoulder stopping him and bringing him back to reality. "Bye." As she turned and left Sam looked at Jared, "it is going to be a long night….."
The second the car was out of sight Jacob exploded jumping on the still dazed human Paul snarling in his face. Finally Paul phased followed quickly by Sam and Jared all three were immediately brought into the middle of Jacob's rant "HOW COULD YOU! YOU KNEW HOW I FELT ABOUT HER! YOU ARE AN ASSHOLE! SHE IS NOT MEANT FOR YOU! I LOVE HER! I HAD TO GIVE HER UP! BUT I AM NOT LOOSING HER TO YOU!" as he attacked Paul. The two battled it out for most of the night rearranging a few trees in the forest while Sam and Jared kept a close watch on the two. Finally around 3 a.m. the two calmed down and phased back throwing on their shorts as Sam and Jared looked at them, "Done?" Jacob just nodded his head, "But I am not happy about it." Sam just nodded, "It doesn't work out the way you want to hope it does, but usually things work out for the best." They all nodded accepting as Paul looked up, glaring at Jacob, "Like I said, I am not happy about this either, my so called imprint is a leech lover. I can't be with… that!" He made a face of disgust and anger. "This is wrong. However…" He grinned looking at Sam. "So can I kill the leech now for being near my imprint? You know the treaty and all?" Sam growled shaking his head, "Paul you need to give her a chance, we all know from Billy speaking with Charlie they have been arguing, and obviously there is a rift between the two. As for the treaty and them being near an imprint we will have to think about that one, they know our laws about our imprints. I will have to have a meeting with their leader to discuss it. But they do need to leave her alone now." He glanced at Paul, "You need to accept that she might but hurt for a while about losing her boyfriend. Even if they aren't fully getting along. They won't be able to tell her why, since they are not allowed to speak about us. And they are definitely not allowed to let an imprint know she is an imprint. That is our right alone." He sighed getting up the fallen tree groaning lightly "I will call their leader tomorrow to plan a meeting for tomorrow evening, the sooner the better." They all agreed and headed back to the Res with Paul wondering how he was even going to approach her. Sam had mentioned it might be best to wait until after he spoke to the leeches so they didn't think he was intruding on their space, he didn't like it though. He didn't like any of it, how could he have a leech lover for an imprint? He had seen her sitting on the porch at Billy's, she needed to eat, and she was way too thin it wasn't healthy. He stopped realizing he had been worried about her, growling as he pushed the thought from his head as he stalked back towards the reservation. He wasn't going to care about her. She was now just a way to stick it to the leeches, maybe they would leave.
The next day Sam got on the phone and called over to the leeches residence in the afternoon reaching the leaders wife since he was at work. "This is Sam, current Alpha of the pack on the Res. We need to discuss the treaty." Her soft voice was silent for a moment, he tapped his fingers impatiently on the counter as waited for her to speak, "Alright, I will let Carslie know when he returns from work. He will be home about 6 p.m. we can meet you at the treaty line by the lake at 6:30p.m. Our family will be there." She paused as if distracted by something else before speaking. "Is there anything we need to be concerned with Sam? We have not broken any of the laws." Sam grumbled resting his back against the wall in his home "No, another of our pack has imprinted. You all need to be aware of who it is so you can steer clear of her." She sighed, "Very well, we will be there. We wouldn't hurt anyone anyways." Sam growled not believing her, "Sure, but you need to be very aware… 6:30pm by the lake. Don't be late." He hung up and growled before heading out to phase to calm himself down.
