Prologue

The heartache of being left by someone you thought was your " soulmate " is agony.

Losing your "soulmate" to someone near and dear to you is devastating.

Seeing them happier with their new partner is excruciating.

It's easier feel hurt and angry by them for the double betrayal but unfortunately you're still enthralled by them and still in love with them, that your shattered heart still yearns for the love you'll never experience again.

That you're stuck in love with them. That's torture.

They say the best way to get over someone is to get under someone else or whatever position you like!

Fortunately when stumble across someone in same boat as you, heartbroken, weary of romance but bursting with neglected lusty needs – well, why not have a "mutually beneficial arrangement" with them?

With nothing to loose and no risk of catching feelings, since you're both natural enemies, why not? It sure beats being hungup on an ex.

Chapter 1: The harshest truth

Leah

After weeks of waiting we weren't gonna have an all out reeking leech extermination. Much to Jacob's relief Bella's status as human remained the unchanged, much to his jealousy her v-card status didn't return unscathed during the honeymoon but HOLY SHIT… that's small fries compared to his unbearable anguish when to finally found out that no matter what Bella can't reciprocate his feelings, that he never had a chance.

As much as I wanna face palm myself and tell him "Man get over it!" that it was better he severed all ties with Bella, that all she'll give him but trouble and heartache, how we knew, he knew she was stringing him along just as option to avoid being lonely but still he futilely tried to get her heart one he'd never had a chance at winning. I hated how Bella tormented Jake with giving him false hope that there was a possibly she would have love him more than a best friend even if Edward wasn't in the picture, knowing all along the truth.

I felt sorry Jacob.

Hell! After the truth came out, I some how managed to feel sorry for that blood sucker Bella hoodwinked, though maybe it's because Seth's sympathy. My baby bro, one t kindest, purest person you'll be lucky to meet, sometimes to a fault. I mean he genuinely considers those vampires as friends.

Now he's hanging with that leech Edward, trying to console him like a good friend would. Normally that would be adorable and sweet but he's too naïve, trusting around those vampires. Since he won't see reason well I'll tag along to make sure those vampires don't try any funny business.

Here at home Seth was heading out. "Hey Seth going some where?" I asked.

Slumping his shoulders: "If you're wondering, yeah I'm checking on Edward. You may not like what they are but it's who they are and what they do that matters to me. And right now I've got a friend with broken heart."

I responded: "It's not your job to be some leech's therapist and what about someone else in the pack who could use Auntie Seth's company?"

He cracked a smile at that and said: "Me and those other Aunties got him covered, 'sides maybe you could give it a shot. Hmm?"

I folded my arms and raised an eyebrow: "Sure we get along like a house on fire, bet he's languishing because how little time we've spent together." I said sarcastically. "Remember the day he got the wedding invite?"

"OK, ok, fair point but maybe he'd relate better with someone in similar shoes, might help you too." He said.

That momentarily caused my façade to slip but I pulled myself together.

Noticing he struck a nerve, he was about start apologizing which I quickly stopped. "Not that I wouldn't mind you changing your plans but don't you wanna go somewhere?"

Looking like a deer caught in some headlights he said: "Err, s-sure." as he got out. I followed him.

When he saw me he asked: "Where are you going?"

Looking pointedly at him, he figured I was tagging along. "Oh come on Leah! There's no need for that!" he complained

"Oh yes there is! Cause you baby bro you're way too trusting around those blood suckers for own good." I said

"You can't stand it there, as a wolf or human you won't like it there. So still wanna come?" Seth said.

I shuddered at the thought. As a wolf I'd be better at defending us, but goddam it odoré de vampire would reek a hundred times worse as a wolf but as a human we'd be really vulnerable. I wasn't gonna leave my baby bro unprotected.

"Yeah, I'm keeping my eye on you, it would make everyone feel better if you weren't alone there. Just be thankful my ex…err Sam hasn't commanded not hang around those parasites." I said awkwardly.

Ignoring my near Freudian slip Seth headed to forest to phase. Giving him a head start, thoughts of my ex Sam flooded my mind, after all this time it still hurt thinking of him.

I practically threw my brother to the wolves…err vampires, just to distract myself from thinking about my ex.

Walking into the forest we didn't utter a single word as we prepared to to shift into wolves. Letting the heat follow through me as I went from human to freakishly huge wolf the shift wasn't just physical, my psyche without the annoying cumbersome human shit was less inhibited. Caring more for short and occasionally the medium term than the damn future.

Seth poped into my head: "Leah I'm sorry for being insensitive when I said you and Jake hang out because you're both hurt back there. I didn't mean to hurt you." He added the image of me looking hurt.

I didn't like the pity he was looking at me with like he was walking on eggshells. If it were any other pack mate I'd give them hell for that but he was more than another pack mate brother he was also my actual baby brother, unlucky to be part of this crazy supernatural shit and have me as a sister, I wasn't letting my issues affect him, he doesn't deserve that. Wanting a change in subject. I thought: "Hey noodle legs!! How about we get there faster by racing?"

Seth replied: "Impatient huh?Carefull or I'm gonna start to think to you like spending time at the Cullen's!"

"Ahh no! The sooner we get there, the sooner the nasal torture ends. Is breathing in that bloodsucker stink the same as sniffing paint fumes, cause that's crazy talk!!" I said.

In his mind eye he saw my human face petulantly pouting saying those words. Which sent his wolfy butt into guffs of laughter.

I replied to him: "That's not how I'd look!!"

" No! You'd not only look like that but also whiney sounding." he said laughing at deliberately his poor imitation of my voice.

"I'll leave you to whine like eating my dust." I said as I suddenly shot through the forest.

"Hey! No fair… that's cheating! Wait up I've got books." Seth protested as raced to catch-up with me.

Being with my Lil brother helped temporarily forget my troubles sort of nostalgic it reminded of simpler time when life wasn't so miserable.

It's pathetic after Sam dumped me for my cousin and all intents and purposes my sister. How much I still desperately want him back despite how impossible that is, as they're setting a wedding deadline. All the pain it's causing me is all because I am still in love with Sam.

Now I'm heading behind enemy lines with my brother cheer up a lovelorn vampire.

A couple of weeks earlier

Edward

There they sat next to each other, wanting to hold hands but they agreed not to do so in front me, as if it would lessen the pain and traitory I felt towards them.

Nervously they placed an envelope on the table and slid it towards me. The room was deathly silent except for Bella's anxious heart beat.

Reaching the envelope, I felt the non paper contents shifting as they clicked and clanked. Taking out the papers, 1st the acknowledgement of receipt signing I knew what was coming.

There were the dreaded formal documents, then there were 2 personal letters from both of them addressed to me, to read later on. I didn't know if I'd ever have the strength to do that but I had resolve to what the documents required from me.

I leafed through the pages they weren't long and elaborate, they stated " Irreconcilable Differences" was the cause. MY BLOODY FOOT IT WAS! Seeing the flaring rage seep through my stoicism had the couple worried I might go berserk. As much as I wish it wasn't so it gave me some guilty petty satisfaction to inflict such discomfort on them, but the images of Bella's terror and melancholy at seeing what it might do to her and mate even if they got hurt, my conscience chided me for enjoying their suffering and flogged for being such a monster. This calmed me somewhat as I resolved to do this with civility and dignity. Becoming stoic again I said: "I wish you'd have been more honest in the paper–" inhaling then exhaling "–but I suppose it doesn't matter does it? Reaching the pen numb with gut wrenching heartbreak I just signed the... papers.

Everyone's tension lessened relieved this went smoothly. The enormity of what happened crashed down on me, today just undisputablely confirmed the truth.

The woman I married found true love. When she became a part of my world she'd found true love.

She found true love with…my sister Alice.
