Leah woke up the next morning full of desire.
"Bella."
"Leah."
"Bella, it's morning."
"Mmmhmm."
Leah growled. She flipped Bella over and Bella yelped. "It's not your night anymore." Leah said, kissing down Bella's neck.
Bella's legs were already wide open for her. She licked her mark, letting her tongue linger over each tooth mark one by one. Leah kissed Bella's clit, gently, savoring it, sucking it in, swirling her tongue around it, then releasing it.
Then Leah positioned her knees on either side of Bella's butt under Bella's thighs. She lined up their clits and started humping. Their clits were rubbing, then gently separating and smashing into each other, over and over and over. Leah was so turned on seeing Bella under her, her tits jiggling with every thrust, the pleasure on her lips, moans escaping because she couldn't hold them in.
"Leah, yes, fuck me harder, Leah! Don't stop! Don't stop!" Bella cried out
Leah fucked harder as commanded. She felt like she could ride like this all day if Bella wanted her to. She went harder, faster, and the intensity was building.
"Oh my God, Bella, come for me, come for me!"
"I'm coming!"
"Bella!" Leah screamed in ecstasy as they came together.
Leah was breathless but she straightened her legs and flipped Bella over so she could hold her on top again.
"I love you so much, Bella."
"I love you too, Leah. I'm gonna marry you someday." She started kissing Leah's chin and cheek and lips.
"Yeah you are," Leah growled.

When Bella and Leah came out for breakfast, Sue was waiting in the kitchen. "Morning girls." Sue said, not looking impressed.
"Morning, Mom," Leah said, giving her a kiss on the cheek.
"Good morning, Sue."
"Do either of you remember the one rule I had for you two?"
Seth snickered over his cereal bowl.
"Sorry about the noise, that was my fault." Bella admitted.
"I heard you, Bella, but as they say, it takes two to tango." She eyed Leah.
Leah was trying not to laugh when she said, "sorry Mom, it won't happen again. We'll be out of your hair before you know it."
"And then you'll need to use your library voices." Seth added. Sue chuckled at that.
"Well, I don't want you out of my hair. I love having you girls here. And Seth says he has an open invitation to hang out there, but I want you two to come here too, at least once a week for dinner, ya hear me?"
"Yeah, ma." Leah agreed
"Thank you, Sue." Bella gave Sue a hug.
Seth pulled Leah aside after breakfast. "We're having a meeting at the library about Jake. Paul wants you to phase sometime this morning so you can get an idea of Jake's mental state for the meeting."
"Ok, have you phased in?"
Seth nodded. "You've got to see it for yourself."
"Ok, stay with Bella for me?"
"Of course."
"Bella, I've got to go check on Jacob real quick. Hang with Seth for a minute, ok?"
"K." She gave Leah a quick kiss.
Leah went into her back yard and phased. She was immediately bombarded with confused images of Jen's head on Bella's body, and Jake fucking her. Then there was the reverse, Bella's head on Jen's body and more fucking. Whole memories were jumbled in Jacob's mind, going to the prom with Jen, imprinting on Bella at the beach, kissing Jen after Edward Cullen called, Charlie walking in on him fucking Bella on the kitchen table.
JACOB, ARE YOU OK?
BELLA? IS THAT YOU? I MISS YOU. COME SEE ME.
NO, IT'S LEAH.
LEAH! YOU BITCH! YOU TOOK THEM FROM ME! THEY ARE MINE! MINE!
She phased back to human.
"Thank you Seth. I guess I should have run with him before I let him anywhere near Bella."
"Yeah, not your fault. No one would have expected that level of crazy."
When Leah, Bella and Seth arrived at the library, there was already a small crowd there.
Billy and Old Quil were sitting at opposite ends of a large table. Paul was holding Rachel's hand. Embry was looking timid and ashamed.
Leah addressed Embry first. "Embry, head up." His head shot up, back straightened. "You did great work protecting Bella, both at the lesson and on the walk. Ok? I didn't foresee how bad his mental state was so you should not beat yourself up for the same error. I think only Rachel and Paul were aware of how bad things were, and that's because they live with him."
Leah turned to Old Quil. "What have you been told?"
"Paul and Embry told me about the assault and his mental state in the pack mind."
"Ok, any recommendations?"
No one said anything until Bella finally spoke up, "What's his mental state in the pack mind?"
"Embry?" Leah wanted Embry to answer because he could explain it tactfully without getting angry.
"Well, he's got a lot of perverted memories of you and Jen but they're all messed up, like your head on her body and vice versa, or memories of you actually have Jen instead and vice versa."
Leah nodded her approval at Embry. "Did any of you talk to him in the pack mind?"
Embry and Seth shook their heads. Paul volunteered, "I did, I told him he needs to get his head out of his ass. He thought I was Sam and he begged for my help."
"I did too. At first he thought I was Bella and he was needy and weird. After I told him I was Leah, he was so angry, saying I took his girls from him."
"This is like a psychotic break." Rachel suggested. "Like he should be hospitalized and medicated, but it wouldn't be safe to do that."
"So, how can we recreate that?" Paul asked.
"Like trap him in someone's basement and give him antipsychotics until he's better?" Rachel suggested.
"No." Leah said firmly. "We're definitely not doing that. Seth, can you get Mom?"
"On it, boss." Seth jogged to the door.
When Sue arrived, Embry gave her a summary of all that had happened.
"Oh Bella! I'm so sorry!"
"Mom, what do we do?" Leah's voice was almost desperate. "This seems like some sort of medical, psychotic situation."
"What would happen if you sent him on another spirit quest?" Sue asked.
"I don't know." Billy answered. "Sue, we're all way out of our depths here. Old Quil as sage, Leah as alpha, and me as chief. You're a medical professional. If a patient came in like that, how would you handle it?"
"I'd refer them for psychiatric evaluation."
"And how would they handle it?" Billy asked Sue.
"It would depend on the results of the evaluation."
"And what's your gut feeling?'
"We need to have him break the imprint." Sue answered.
Paul protested, "wouldn't that put Bella at more risk?"
"Bella, did you ever feel unsafe around Jake before the imprint?" Sue asked.
"Never."
"What about Jen?" Rachel asked.
"Who would Jen prefer as a partner, this guy or old Jacob?" Leah asked.
"Old Jake." A chorus agreed
"Quil, what do we need for the ceremony?" Leah asked, ready to delegate.
"A fire and a willing heart. The ceremony is not regimented. The wolf must beg the spirits to reverse the imprint."
"Arg. Embry, you know that your third, right?"
"Yep."
"Good. You, me and Paul should try to get through to him. Seth, can you stay with Bella again?" Seth nodded. "And Rachel, do you want to take over Quileute lessons for the summer?"
Rachel's face lit up. "I'd love to!"
"I'm gonna run and grab the Gameboy before you guys get too far, ok?" Seth said, wanting to be prepared for his day with Bella.
Leah nodded. "Bella, we don't know how this will affect him. It might make his behavior towards you worse before it gets better."
"I understand. You won't leave me unprotected."
"That's right, I won't." Leah kissed her cheek chastely.
"Seth, can you call Sam? See if he can round up the other guys to get ready for a fire on the beach? I'd like to have this done today."

With the techniques from Ephraim Black's book, Leah was able to speak to Paul and Embry in the pack mind without Jake even knowing she was there.
JAKE, YOU'VE GOT TO BREAK THE IMPRINT, Embry said.
BUT I NEED JEN, SHE'S MY SOULMATE.
Paul said, SHE DOESN'T WANT YOU WHEN YOU'RE LIKE THIS. THE IMPRINT HAS BROKEN SOMETHING IN YOU
Embry added, JEN DOESN'T WANT YOU LIKE THIS AND BELLA IS AFRAID OF YOU NOW.
BELLA! I NEED BELLA!
BUT SHE'S AFRAID OF YOU BECAUSE OF THE IMPRINT, Embry reminded him.
HOW DO I BREAK IT? HOW DO I BREAK IT?
Embry said, THE GUYS ARE SETTING UP A FIRE. YOU NEED TO BEG THE SPIRITS TO BREAK IT. OLD QUIL WILL HELP.
BUT I NEED JEN.
YES, YOU DO AND THIS IS THE ONLY WAY YOU'LL GET HER. DO YOU THINK SHE WANTS YOU LIKE THIS? Paul asked.
NO, I'VE RUINED EVERYTHING! Jake wailed.
THIS IS HOW YOU CAN FIX IT. Embry encouraged.
WHAT ABOUT MY BELLA?
It went round and round like for hours until it seemed like it was sinking in.
ARE WE READY ALPHA? Paul asked Leah.
Leah spoke in her alpha timber. JACOB, YOU MAY PHASE BACK TO HUMAN TO BREAK THE IMPRINT BUT YOU CAN NOT STRAY MORE THAN THREE FEET FROM PAUL. Then in her normal voice, PAUL STAY WITH HIM AND WALK TO THE BEACH. WE'LL BE READY FOR HIM THERE.
Leah and Embry met at the library. "I'll get the library group, you go to the Black's and bring Billy and Rachel."
Leah told Seth to get Sue and she brought Bella and Old Quil to the beach. She held Bella's hand. "I love you Bella, but I don't think we should be touching during the ceremony. It could set him off. His sanity is very delicate right now."
"I understand, Leah. Just drop my hand when you think it's time, ok? I'll understand."
It was about midday and drizzling when they approached the beach. The sands were empty except for their group. Everyone was there except for Paul and Jake. Old Quil sat near Billy. Leah sat Bella down across from them. She gave Bella a quick kiss on the cheek and held Bella's hand until she saw Paul and Jake approach from the tree line.
Jake and Paul sat next to Old Quil and Billy. Billy began the ritual by talking about imprints, how it is usually a gift, but when some gifts are given at the wrong time, they can be a curse.
Old Quil continued, "we are here to petition to the spirits to break this imprint, for it has broken this man and we need him back.
Jake then tearfully begged them to take it back, to break the imprint. He said that the imprint had taken all that he held dear, his Isabella, and it had torn his wolf asunder, and that he could not even know Jen, now, for she despised him. He admitted his own fault, his deception with Isabella, his discourse with his wolf, and his manipulation toward Jen. Then he begged again. He begged them to break it. He begged until he felt a rending, a ripping of his soul. It was done.
He looked up and through the flames his eyes met those of his one true love. "Bella," he whispered.
No one knew that the imprint was broken but Bella suddenly felt a jolt of fear. She reached for Leah. "Is it done?" Leah asked.
Jake was standing to walk around the fire now. He froze at his alpha's voice. "The imprint is broken." He said with clarity.
"Paul, don't move," Leah ordered as Paul stood to grab him. If Paul chased Jake, Jake would have more freedom of movement to get to Bella. Paul sat back down.
Jake could not get around the fire, he tried going both directions to get to her, his Bella, but he could not reach her because he was tethered to Paul by the alpha command. "Bella, I can't reach you, come to me, baby!"
Bella clung to Leah with a terrified look on her face. "I'm having a hard time being objective right now. Suggestions? What do we do with him now?" Leah asked.
"Let's send him back to the woods for three more days. He desperately needs to get in touch with his wolf." Paul suggested.
"I agree." Embry added. "But I think we need to feed him. He's looking scrawny and weak."
"Old Quil, thoughts?"
"That will buy us time but not solve the problem. He'll need visitors and wise counsel. I think he should have one day as a wolf, then we reassess."
"Ok, let's compromise and make it two days." Then Leah gave the alpha command. She asked the pack to visit with Jake and help him understand, then everyone was dismissed. She walked back to the library with Old Quil and Bella. When they entered, Old Quil told them to take Bella's lunch break, one hour.
Leah walked Bella back to Sue's. Neither Sue nor Seth seemed to be home. She looked down at Bella, who looked frightened and sad. "I just want to snuggle." Bella said.
"Me too, baby." So they got naked and lay in each other's arms, saying nothing, just comforting each other through touch. After 45 minutes, Bella said, "we need to eat."
"Yeah, I guess we do." They got up and made sandwiches and ate them quickly so they wouldn't be late.
"You'll stay with me this afternoon?"
"Of course, baby."

Even though Jake was no longer a danger, Leah stayed downstairs in the library. She decided to read Martha Black's journal. Martha died when Leah was small, maybe in kindergarten or first grade. She always had fun stories about the forest. Leah had thought about Martha during her early patrols and wished that Sam would send them deeper into the forest so that she could see all that Martha had seen. She realized now how formative her memories of Martha were, now that she was expanding patrol deep into the forest.
Martha's journals started when she was a young teenager in the rez school. A lot of it was mundane but Leah was curious about her home life. She skimmed past a lot of the stuff about her school and friends though.
Leah enjoyed learning about Martha's early exploration and Martha's discovery of the wise old herbalist in the village. She started visiting the wise old woman, Cora, every week. She would bring Cora flowers and plants and ask them about their properties. She would fetch things for the older woman, venturing further into the forest. It was in the forest that she first spoke to Ephraim. They had seen each other in the village but never spoke. He was a few years older than her, out of school. She had always thought he was very handsome and was curious about the man.
In the forest, many miles from the village, Ephraim approached her when she was nineteen. He warned her about monsters in the woods. "You better watch out, then, Ephraim Black." She warned him.
He laughed. He had imprinted on her weeks ago but their paths did not cross often and he did not want to force her into anything. "Let me walk with you, then, so you can keep me safe."
"Of course," the small girl replied to the hulking man.
"Leah, it's five, you ready to go, baby?" Bella interrupted, taking a seat beside her.
"Yes, let me put a bookmark in here. It's just getting good." Leah grinned.
"Oh yeah, what's Martha up to?"
"Well I kind of skipped some boring parts but she just met Ephraim in the woods and they're hanging out for the first time."
"Oh Leah, you're such a romantic!"
o.~*~.o
Leah realized she had to stop at Sue's to call Jen before going to Charlie's.
"Jen?"
"Leah, what's up?"
"I'm sorry, I'm calling to inform you that we had to break the imprint."
"Yeah, I kind of felt something weird around lunchtime."
"I'm sorry, Jen, that's when it happened."
"Did he not want it anymore?"
"No. It wasn't that. It's just, his imprinting was so messed up because of his behavior and it only got worse. He assaulted someone and his behavior was so erratic and out of control. He was a risk to the whole pack."
"Who did he assault?"
"Do you really want to know?"
"Yep."
"It was Bella."
"That's what I assumed. Thanks for telling me."
"He sent you a letter a few days ago. You should be getting it soon. Just a warning."
"Ok, bye Leah." Jen said curtly.
"Bye."
o.~*~.o
Leah drove Bella to Charlie's for their last night there. They hung out on the couch, Bella on Leah's lap, Bella's hand up Leah's shirt while they kissed and enjoyed one another.
They were still in that spot when Charlie came home, a stack of pizzas in one hand.
"Let me help you with that, Charlie." Leah lept up gracefully bringing Bella with her. She jogged over to Charlie to grab the pizzas from him. From what Leah had seen, Charlie was only slightly more graceful than Bella.
They enjoyed their pizza in silence. Leah ate a whole pie herself. Again, Charlie had bought a large quantity so that there would be leftovers.
"So, Leah, you must have to be pretty fit for your security job at the rez. Do you go to the same gym as Jake and Sam? Those guys are ripped."
"Uh, we all work out together but there is no gym on the rez."
"So does one of the guys have a setup in their garage or something?"
"Dad, why are you asking this tonight? Are you looking to pump iron with the guys?"
"Ha, no, but maybe I should. I'd love to be able to eat like Leah and not get fat."
"Dad, that's rude." Bella scolded. "Please don't comment on how much other people eat. You know how much that bugs me."
"I'm jealous, Bella, not criticizing." Charlie argued.
"It's fine, Bella. Wouldn't it be crazy if he never noticed that I had a big appetite?" Leah flexed her bicep for Charlie and Bella drooled a little. Leah winked at her, smiling slyly. "I have a lot of lean muscle mass, yes, and I need it for the work I do and it requires more calories to maintain. I also don't really snack and often don't have time for a big lunch, so I'm usually starving for supper. I try not to be a burden though. I don't want my lifestyle to negatively affect others. That's why it's nice for Bella and I to cook at home a lot, and that's why I rarely eat out and get takeaway. It's just too expensive for the quantity of food that I need."
"Thanks for the info, Leah. So if I wanted to get a body like that, or more like Sam Uley's, how would I go about it?"
"Ya know, I'll have to ask Sam how he got started. By the time I joined, all that stuff was set up and I just followed along. I'll get back to you on that."
"Yeah, you do that. I've had this spare tire for years and maybe a little fitness could help me drop it."
"It's good for the heart, too." Leah added. "I don't want Bella to lose you like I did my dad. So I will get back to you on that. In fact, I should have an answer by the time you come around for dinner Sunday, ok?"
"Great, that's great. So what time do you want me to come on Sunday?"
"Does six work ok?" Bella asked.
"I can make it work."
After supper, they hung out on the couch watching the game with Charlie for a bit. When Bella started getting handsy, Leah asked, "you getting tired, babe?"
Bella nodded so Leah carried her up the stairs.
"This is my last night here!" Bella whined.
"Maybe we'll come back for Christmas Eve or something. But by then, he might have turned this into his gym room."
Bella giggled as they undressed for bed. "What are you going to tell him that Sam recommends?"
"I was thinking I'd look up a simple weight lifting routine for him. Maybe I should ask Sam though. He used to work out before he shifted so maybe he still has some of his old books or something."
"I bet he'd be tickled to know that Charlie wants a body like his." Bella giggled, picturing her dad's head on Sam's jacked figure.
"Speaking of wanting bodies," Leah said leaning over Bella with a lustful look in her eyes.
"Mmmm?"
"I want your body." Leah whispered. Bella felt a deep tingling as she gave in to her mate's desire.
