Storks and Wolves
Chapter 28
fusedtwilight: Pritty quick update huh? And now on with the story.
Leah P.O.V
“When a female is chosen we arrange for her and one or more wolves to ensure that many wolf cubs will be born,” Tristan said. “That way we need not wait a generation for a wolf to be called when a vampire is close.”
“More wolves?” I asked disgusted.
“Yes it is a simple and effective system,” One of the Makah elders said. He wore a pair of glasses and had a slim build; I instantly thought bookworm or nerd. “The female wolf mates with different males throughout her life, producing many wolf cubs in the process. These pure wolves we have phase until the next female is called then we have them mate with her producing more wolves more purer then the last generation. We also selectively breed those who are born human but have wolf ancestry to help ensure wolves will be born next generation.”
“That is disgusting.” I said.
“There is nothing disgusting about it,” Nerd elder said. “We make sure there is no inbreeding to prevent any deformities, and it has yielded very good results. We have found that wolves of purer blood are different from average wolves. They are faster, stronger, they heal faster, we have even found they live longer even if they don’t phase. Their senses are stronger and they have amazing instincts.” Nerdy said proudly.
“What about the females? Don’t they have a choice in the matter?” Billy asked.
Nerdy looked at Tristan. “The woman understands the honor they bring by bringing the tribe more protectors. Once they have given us enough wolf children they are free to choose their own mate.” Tristan said.
“What about imprinting?” Sue asked.
“Imprinting?” Tristan asked confused.
“I believe they are referring to when a wolf has found their true mate.” Nerdy said.
“Ah yes thank you Hank...” Hank? Definitely a nerd name. “We just refer to it as finding one’s true mate, but if a female has found a…imprint before she has produced any heirs we can do nothing but let nature run its course.”
“This is disgusting!” I snapped “What if the girl doesn’t want to be your little baby machine?” I asked.
They said nothing at first, then Tristan cleared his throat.
“Like it was said it is an honor for a female to give the tribe more warriors. Look at Sid and Brian”-he pointed to Sid and his brother-“Their parents, and their grandparents were wolves and they both have had children who turned into fine wolves themselves.”
“Thanks to the females the bloodlines have become so strong even without a female those of more pure wolf blood can produce a wolf offspring,” Hank interjected. “Sid married a white woman which resulted in Chris here”-He pointed to Chris-“But even though his mother was a human Chris still turned into a wolf at a very early age.”
So I was right Chris was a half-blood. Nothing new, plenty of people in La Push had a white ancestor or two.
“We were very happy to hear of you Leah; even in Makah females are rare. We have tried to see if a female could be bred, sadly this has met with little success.”
“What do you mean?” I asked.
“Well every once and a while a female would give birth to another female and she to would help with the process like her mother before her, but this didn’t happen enough. So we tried to use the humans of wolf ancestry to see if a female wolf could be born naturally, but sadly there were few successes. We had hoped your mother would be a success, our shamans said there was a strong chance she would and I guess they were right.” He smiled. “Though we had hoped it would have been with Tris-
“Enough Hank.” Tristan said firmly.
“You bastard,” Mom said angrily. “Was that the only reason you were with me? So I could give you a wolf for you to breed?”
“Mom? What are you talking about?” I asked.
“Before I dated your father I used to date Tristan.” She said. I and Seth looked at her shocked. “It was a silly high school romance, but at the time I thought we were in love. But then I met your father, I hadn’t seen him since we were children, he had grown into a fine handsome man.” She smiled remembering dad, “The more time I spent with him the more I realized how much I cared for him. Soon after I broke things off with Tristan and went to be with Harry.” She glared at Tristan. “I knew you loved our tribe Tristan, more then me that was why I left. And I was right; I just never thought I was just a duty to you.”
“It wasn’t like that Sue,” Tristan said. “I did care for you, and yes it did have to do with the fact the elders had hoped our children would be wolves after all, my father was a wolf. Obviously they were right, both your children turned into wolves.”
“You’re a heartless bastard,” She said.
“Now Sue-Sue.” He began.
“Call me that again and I don’t care how many wolves you have at your back, I’ll come over there and kick you in the balls!” She threatened.
You go mom! Why are guys such dicks? No matter how bad they hurt you, and even though they say they still care about you (supposedly) they always find some excuse as to why they hurt you. Well excuses are like assholes, everybody has one.
“I did care about you Sue, I just...”
“Wasn’t in love with me?” She asked bitterly.
“I’m sorry Sue,” He said.
“Don’t be I’m not.” She took my hand and Seth’s hand in hers. “I was happy with Harry, I loved him, and I still do. We had to wonderful children, and now my daughter will have a daughter all of her own. Don’t be sorry for me Tristan I have no regrets, something tells me I would have plenty with you.”
My mom is freakin’ awesome!
“I’m sorry you feel that way Sue. But if it would please you I would like to help you,” Tristan said.
“How?” Mom asked.
“I am aware your daughter had a late pregnancy do to phasing. I am also aware the father is already imprinted.”
“That would be me.” Sam said.
“Yes, well I am sure you have not informed the humans of your tribe of the child’s true paternity?”
“No…we have not,” Sam said.
“Yes well I believe we can rectify that. We would like to have Chris and Leah marry.”
A stunned silence filled the air…only for it to be broken by me.
“Oh Fuck you!” I shouted stepping forward.
“Leah!” Sam, mom, Seth, Embry, Jake, Quil, Billy, Old Quil, hell everyone said. They knew what was coming.
“No fuck this, and fuck them!” I shouted pointing a finger at the Makahs who were all looking at me with wide shocked eyes.
“You got some balls even thinking that after the shit you’ve pulled the last couple of centuries. Do you have any idea what I have been through? Let me tell you. First I have the greatest boyfriend in the world that I planned to marry and have kids, then he leaves me for my cousin who is like my sister, and I get all heart broken and depressed. Then I get an invite from my cousin to be her bride’s maid. I freak out and cause a huge fight with my family, my brother and I phase and my poor father has a heart attack and dies because his poor heart couldn’t take the stress of his baby girl turning into a monster.” A few gasps and looks of sympathy spread throughout the Makahs.
“Leah,” Mom and Seth said trying to comfort me.
I held up a hand telling them I wasn’t done. “Then I find out the reason my ex left me was because some retarded instinct telling him to love my cousin then I find out I’m the only girl in history and am considered a freak by everyone except her brother and I have to hear all these wolf stories about brother hood and how cool guys are. So it makes me the biggest cunt in all of history and I make everyone’s life hell and its worse because I’m connected to my ex’s mind and have to hear how he loves my cousin more then me. And instead of being a normal girl and hanging out with my friends and going to the mall I have to hang out with a bunch of morons who think about nothing but bikes, cars and women all the time and have to kill blood sucking monsters for a living.”
I took a deep breath pacing myself.
“Then I move to a new pack and I am made beta and I begin to finally piece myself back together, then I find out I’m knocked up with my ex’s baby and I’m only finding out now because of this fucked up wolf genetics thing. Not to mention I could have suffered a lot less if you assholes hadn’t kept the whole god damn thing a secret. And now you stand there all calm and cool like you’re the cocks of the blocks because you have more wolves and are experts and eugenics, then you have the balls to say you want to help save my image by marrying me off to one of your wolves?! Fuck that and all of you, you can take your offer and shove it up your lying asses. I a Quileute through and through and when my baby is born she will have a life out side of being a walking incubator for you.”
I heard a few claps behind me and some people saying “Go Leah.”
“We treat our women better then that Leah,” Chris said calmly. “They are allowed jobs, and friends. The fathers of their progeny help them raise the children and help them with anything else they need. We take care of our pack members whether they are male or female. As the pack leader it falls on my shoulders to find a female wolf and mate with her to produce pure blood warriors for the tribe. Until the day comes when I find such a woman I must phase and stay young, or until I imprint. If you join us Leah you and your daughter will want for nothing. We home school the cubs, that way they can interact with children like themselves and not risk exposing us at school.”
I felt my blood run cold at that. I had been so wrapped up in so much emotional shit I hadn’t stopped to think about what I was going to do when it came time for my little girl to go to school. I mean I knew she was going to be naturally born a wolf, I just never stopped to think how that would effect the little things like school and stuff. I mean what would happen if another kid told her she was ugly or had cooties? If she would be anything like her mother it would be a disaster of epic proportions.
“What more could a woman ask for Leah? Is it such a bad deal? We protect them, we nurture them, they want a job we get them one, they want a family we give them one, they are never alone, always surrounded by family and friends. What is so bad about that? Family, friends, a life. How many women are out there who would give anything for that?” Chris asked.
When he said it like that, it did sound pretty damn good. But I didn’t need a ton of men in my life, all I needed was one, and he was already by my side.
“As much as I appreciate the offer,” I said sarcastically. “I need no one’s help, I have never needed help. Ask my friends and family I have always been independent and have gotten what I desired. I ask for no help and need no help. Family and friends? I already have that, money? I have some kinda sorta friends who are loaded. A job…I’m working on that, and if I need to I will home school my daughter, and I hate to break it to you but I already have a man in my life, and all I need is one.” I said kissing Embry on his cheek.
“I am…sorry to hear that,” Chris said looking a little sad.
I felt kind of bad for the guy. He said he had to keep phasing until he found a female wolf to mate with or he imprinted. I can only imagine what it must be like having to stay young while your friends age and die, until you find the right one, but who knows how long before that happens.
“I’m not insulting you or your way, I just don’t feel I could raise my daughter knowing she would have such expectations of her. I want her to grow up free of duty and honor. To grow up and make her own choices without worrying about and restraints or constrictions.”
“I understand Leah, but know you and your daughter will always be welcome in Makah, as I hope we will be allowed in La Push?” Chris said.
“That is a different matter,” Billy said. “Despite your reasons your with holding of information has caused harm for us like Leah said. There have been times when the information you had could have helped many of our wolves in our tribe’s history. And after all the time our tribes have been allies and practically family. Seriously? With all the people from our tribes who have married.”
“We have been sworn to secrecy Billy, there were times I was tempted to break my oath but I love my tribe, and although I do not agree with the system I must obey our laws, like how you must obey yours.” Tristan said.
“Our tribes have been friends and allies for countless generations Tristan, I would hate to see all that undone because of secrets and lies,” Billy said.
“We have been friends and allies for many years Billy, if you have any suggestions I am open to it.” Tristan said.
“Give me a moment to talk with the others,” Billy said. He wheeled himself to face the other elders and they formed a circle and began to whisper.
After a few minutes they broke and Old Quil addressed the Makahs. “As compensation for the offense you will share all knowledge and data with the wolves.”
Brian the wolf let out a snarl. “Compensation?! We gave you compensation when we allowed my sister to marry you! You swore secrecy under penalty of retribution or has you decrepit mind forgotten?”
“I told you Susan is dead, and we only kept quiet because you out numbered us.” Old Quil wheezed.
“We still out number you,” Brian snarled unpleasantly.
“Not quite, we have an alliance with the Cullen’s,” Jake said.
“We are well aware of your unnatural fondness for the cold ones.”
“Then you should know there are eight of them, plus the coven they are family with in Alaska, plus the dozens of others who would be willing to fight by their side. And you can ask any of us they have powers and they can be quiet terrifying,” He said and many of the wolves nodded in agreement.
That made me remember the fight with the newborns. I remembered Alice all over the place, and Jasper constantly fighting vampires before Alice could get a swing at them which pissed her off to no end.
“Would you really side with Vampires to fight us?” Tristan asked looking at mom.
“Although many of us are still weary of them, we are not above asking them to fight with us, we have done it before and we will do it again.” She said.
“Can’t ask for help if you’re already dead,” Brian said taking a menacing step forward.
Many of the other Makah wolves were beginning to look a too little blood lusty for comfort. The wolves around us began to growl and took defensive positions.
“Enough!” Tristan shouted.
“You heard the man back down!” Chris shouted to the wolves. “Have you forgotten uncle your kin is in there?”
“Yes brother, Susan’s grandson is among those whom you would harm, would you kill the last link we have to our sister?” Sid said to his brother.
Brian looked away angrily. “No, I apologize. My anger took a hold over me.” He looked at Quil and there was pain and sorrow in his eyes. “You have her eyes you know, Susan never did approve of our ways. I felt betrayed when she chose a Quileute over a Makah, and when she died I blamed your grandfather.”
“Susan knew years before how she died Brian,” Old Quil said. “She never stopped loving you, no mater how much you angered her she always loved you. You could not meet my son, or be there when Quil grew up because you could expose the secret. But Brian this could be good for both our tribes. No more secrets, no more lies. Just as Susan wanted.”
“That sounds great Quil,” Tristan smiled. “Alright we will share our knowledge with you. I must also say over the years we have had many doctors in our tribe, and they were able to use modern technology which greatly helped with our breeding plan. We have discovered much about the gene that makes the wolves. But if it is too much to ask may we sweeten the deal for you?”
“We are listening,” Billy said.
“We understand you have a bit of a wolf population yourselves, as do we. And since we have you with an unfair advantage, we offer you ten members of our wolves,” He said waving his hands towards the wolves.
Another stunned silence, even the Makahs weren’t expecting that. “That is not necessary, I have more then enough wolves I my pack.” Sam said.
“You do, but young Jacob only has five…six if you count the child in Leah’s belly. I am sure Jacob has many expectations with only four other members in his pack, an extra ten would help them have more time for themselves. And it would even the numbers for packs, forty and forty, well forty forty-one.” He said with a smile.
Billy and the elders once again did their circle. From what I was able to eavesdrop some of the elders wanted to see what these pure bred wolves were capable of. They wanted to see the fruits of the Makah’s eugenics. Others were interested in the idea of the whole controlled breeding thing and hoped some of the Makah’s would imprint on the women back home.
Others (like mom) didn’t like the idea of a bunch of Makah wolves running around. But Jake was confident he would keep them in line, and he was hoping he could have Edward use his power on them to see if he can get any other information from them.
After some planning they made a decision.
“Agreed, all the data and information you have on wolves and ten Makah’s,” Billy said.
“Very well, I will make arrangements to decide which ten we will spare. I am happy we were able to solve all this Billy,” Tristan said.
“As are we all,” Billy said.
After that the ice was broken and the two groups mingled. Chris, Sid, Brian and there kin were talking to Quil and Old Quil. Quil was psyched to meet his cousins. I noticed every once and a while Chris would search for me. I knew he was looking for me because every time his eye wondered they would land on me and he would return to the conversation he was having.
Many wolves were mingling talking about the whole experience and trading war stories while the elders talked some more. After a few hours we called it a night and headed home.
“My god that was…unique.” Quil said.
“Unique doesn’t even describe it. Man those Makahs are cool…but freaky.” Seth said.
“Got that right, selective breeding my ass.” I said crossing my arms. “Just a bunch of men thinking they can use women for their own selfish needs and come up with some half-assed excuses for it.”
“I can’t wait to see who they will choose to join our pack.” Seth said.
“You really think we can keep them in line?” I asked Jake.
“Between you and me Leah? Hell yeah, lets show these punks how we do things in La Push,” He smiled.
“Don’t get to cocky Jake, we have no idea what they are capable of.” Embry said.
“There wolves like you and me Em,” Jake said.
“Were you all not listening? Tristan said there little experiment in eugenics yielded some fruitful results. Their wolves are supposed to be us only 2.0 stronger and faster and everything else enhanced. We have no idea if they can do anything else we can do or can’t do,” He said seriously.
That dampened the mood a bit. “That’s why we should have them come over, learn all we can about them.” I said.
“And if they stab us in the back?” He asked looking at me.
I leaned over and kissed him on the cheek. “They we will stab right back.” I said.
fusedtwilight: So what do you all think of the Makah's? And just so you all know Tristan has a reason for the ten Makah's he's sending over to La Push. Wait till you see who. So please review.
