Double the Imprint

Chapter 3

Fusedtwilight: Thanks to my beta animegirlkiki for betaing.

I am having a lot of fun writing it. Now I won't be detailing Breaking Dawn word for word. Some parts I will add in, others I will just have mentioned because I don't want to have to do a remake of the book.

This chapter Leah and Jake tell the elders they have imprinted. How will Billy and Sue take it? And we get to see more of Sam being a dick.

The next day we were back in La Push.

The meeting was held at Billy's house. Sam and his pack were here along with the elders.

Jake had just finished his side of the story. From when he broke off, all the way to when he imprinted. Seth and I added in our two bits. Filling in the details.

"So everything is okay. The children of the Cullens are not dangerous as we thought, Leah and I imprinted on them, and Bella will wake up some time tomorrow night as a vampire," Jake said with a smile.

No one else did.

"Things are not okay Jake," Billy said looking stern.

Jake sighed. "Look I am sorry I separated from the pack, but if I didn't then we would have killed Bella and her children and it would have been pointless because we were afraid. Then the Cullens would have retaliated and it would have been war. I made a choice and I do not regret it. Because it brought me to Nessie."

"And it brought me EJ," I said.

"I can't believe it, our own future chief imprints on a hybrid and the first female imprints on one as well!" Old Quil said.

"What can I say, I am good at breaking records," I said.

I thought I saw a small smile tug at the corners of mom's mouth but when I looked again her face was back to neutral.

"As for what happened we have already reprimanded Sam for his hasty decision," Billy said. "Only the elders and the chief can decide when war is made."

He gave Sam a hard look when he said chief. Billy may not be a wolf but he was still the top dog. Sam looked down, in that way people look when they know they have been stupid and feel the shame.

"We agree you were right in defending Bella, Jake. But now we have a problem. We have never had two alphas, let alone two packs."

"The solution is clear. Now that Jacob has finally accepted his role as the alpha he can rule the pack as he was meant to," Old Quil said.

"With all due respect sir, I don't think that can happen," Sam said.

"Oh?" Old Quil raised a white brow. "Why not?"

"I do not think Jake should lead the pack."

A very thick silence filled the air.

"You are treading in deep water Sam," Billy said.

"I fear that Jacob's imprint on the Swan child compromises his ability to lead not just the pack but the tribe."

"What a load of shit Sam, you are just pissed Jake finally had the balls to stand up against you," I said.

"Leah," mom said sternly. "Sam has a right to his opinion. We have heard your side, let's hear his."

Sam continued. "We all know despite their diet the Cullens are still dangerous. Remember they left last year because one of them tried to kill Bella. What will Jake do if something like that happens again?"

"Bella is a vampire...or will be soon," Jake said.

"Yes. And we all know what newborns are like."

"You are fearful that Bella will kill a human?" Billy asked.

"We fought a whole coven of newborns Billy. I have fought my share of nomads, but newborns are truly savage and feral. What will Jake do should Bella slip and attack some random human who was camping in the woods? Would he fight her to protect the human? Would he tell us? Or would his desire to keep his imprint happy prevent him from speaking up?"

Jake glared at Sam. Sam had a point though; I myself wondered the same thing yesterday.

"Hmmm. Sam does have a point," Old Quil said.

"And when the Cullens do move they will take the children with them," mom said. She seemed to be deep in thought. But I could tell she did not like the idea. She looked at me and I knew she was wondering if I would go with them.

Billy looked disturbed by the thought as well. Jake and him have lived together since Jake was a baby. They have been through a lot together. And Billy Just got Rachel back, was he going to lose one child after getting another one back?

I felt bad for Billy. He was like an uncle to me. He gave me some good advice after I phased and dad died. I had been too stubborn to listen though.

"Bella is my friend and I have imprinted on her daughter, but I will not make exceptions because of that," Jake said.

He was lying. He was too close to both of them to not let it affect his work. I knew this because the certainty I had about fighting Bella had diminished a lot. Sure I would fight her to protect a human. But I would pull my punches because hurting Bella would hurt EJ. And that could get me killed.

Imprinting made you feel all lovey dovey, but it could seriously suck in some areas.

The others weren't buying it. They knew the power of imprinting complicated things.

"Regardless, I don't think I can give up being an alpha now," Sam said. "It's like I have led for too long, it's in me to lead now."

"And I won't follow Sam again, now that I am alpha I can't turn it off," Jake said.

"And I am not going back with Sam's pack either," Seth said. "After all, I am the beta," he said smugly.

"And I am not going back, I hate those pricks," I said.

"Like we would have you," Paul shot back.

I flipped him the bird.

"Enough," Billy said sternly.

He surveyed both packs. "I would like to think this would work Jake but with only three wolves-"

"We'll join!" Quil and Embry said.

They quickly moved to join Jake side by side. Jake smiled, looking grateful.

"We couldn't leave before but now we can. It evens things out," Quil said.

"And Jake is our friend," Embry said.

"And two packs means we can guard the tribe more easily. Plus you don't have to worry about Jake's loyalties because you will have Sam watching us," Quil said.

The elders looked at one another.

"Seems like it could work. Solves a lot of problems," mom said.

"It is unorthodox but it is a first," Old Quil said.

"Very well. Then from now on there will be two packs. The treaty is still valid and no wolf may harm the children of Bella Swan. They are to be protected as any other imprint would be protected," Billy said. "Meeting adjourned."

Sam and his pack left. Sam didn't spare us a glance, he passed by me and I felt his body tense as he got close to me.

"Well, come on Quil, the store can't man itself," Old Quil said.

"See you later, Alpha Jacob," Quil said smacking Jake on the shoulder.

The two Quils left.

Embry looked at us and Billy and Sue, he must have sensed the need for privacy. "Well, I am going to go and...do stuff...call me later Jake."

Embry left and now it was just the Black and Clearwater clans.

Mom got up and walked towards me and Seth. "Mom I-"

She wrapped her arms around us. Hugging us with all her might. "If you two ever scare me like that I will tan your hides!"

"And son, if you ever trap me in my own house I will kick your ass!" Billy said.

"Mom, I am sorry, we didn't mean to hurt you," Seth said.

"Hurt me? What makes you think I am hurt?" mom asked letting us go.

"Well Sam had Jared come over and made it sound like you were dying of worry and tried to guilt trip us back," Seth said.

Mom rolled her eyes. "They blew it out of proportions. Yes I was worried, you ran off, were around the Cullen's and there was a possibility of a fight. But truth be told I was proud of you."

"You were?" I asked surprised.

"Yes. You stood up for yourselves and what you believed in. Leah, I am so happy you looked out for Seth that was a wonderful thing you did. And I am so happy you broke away from Sam, I know how unhappy you were in his pack."

"What about the whole imprinting thing?" I asked.

"Well...we'll work on that later," she said.

Meaning she wasn't cool with it but she knew she couldn't stop it. It was the most I could ask for.

"Dad, what about you?" Jake asked.

"Well, I am happy you moved on from Bella and finally accepted your heritage," Billy said. "But I do wish you had imprinted on a human. This will cause complications Jake."

"I know...but we will deal with it later. For right now all we need to do is worry about how Bella is going to react."

"Ten bucks says one of us gets a broken bone," I said.

As it turns out neither me nor Jake got a broken bone. Seth did.

On the night Bella woke up Edward took her out to hunt first. When they came back Bella got to meet her kids. We made some surprising discoveries.

First Bella had remarkable control of her thirst. She actually resisted the urge to follow a human scent she found. Second, Nessie's power was able to get past her shield, but surprisingly EJ's could not get past hers. He had to vocalize his words for her to hear.

It was a beautiful moment; the look on pure happiness on their faces was infectious. I smiled, happy EJ was finally able to meet his mom.

Then Jake got all nervous and Bella realized he imprinted on Nessie, and then he told her I imprinted on EJ and although she was a little pissed it was when Jake called Nessie her nickname that did Bella in.

She fucking flew like a demon out of hell at Jake but Seth jumped in front and got hurt.

So now here we were with Bella apologizing and me glaring at her. She is so lucky I imprinted on her kid, or else I would have ripped her apart!

Days went by and for the most part order was returned to our world. Nessie and EJ continued to grow more quickly than a human. They were also much smarter than their age. They were already walking all by themselves and able to solve complex problems.

We have been trying to get them to not hold hands as much, to get them some distance from one another. It was also the best way to get them to stop using their powers and start talking.

We found out they could eat human food. But it wasn't appealing to them as blood. We took them out to hunt for animals. They were durable and strong enough to hunt deer and a full grown moose all by themselves.

They still preferred human blood.

They were twins, but they were different. Nessie was like Bella and Edward. More quiet and calm. EJ was more energetic and eccentric. Jake had it easy with Nessie. She was a little angel.

EJ, he was a little hellion. I couldn't turn my back on him for one second. He always wanted to play and do something. By the time he went to bed I felt like I was ready to fall down in exhaustion. Where the hell did he get all this energy? He was like the energizer bunny on crack.

I decided to pay a visit to mom's house. I had been spending more time at the Cullen's. I didn't want mom to feel neglected so I decided to pay her a visit.

Imagine my surprise when I saw Sam and Emily's blue car at my house.

I felt mighty tempted to go back to the Cullen's. But I realized I had nothing to run from. It was my house.

I walked in; I could smell both Emily and Sam were here. I wonder what they wanted. I wanted to surprise mom, now I was wondering if maybe I should have called ahead.

"Mom, I am home," I called.

I heard movement from the living room.

"Leah!" Emily came running from the living room.

She walked right over to me. Her face cracked into a smile. I hugged her, believe it or not, I did miss her.

We had grown up as sisters, even though we were cousins. From childhood all the way to adulthood we were close. Then the whole imprinting thing happened and it drove a wedge between us I still missed her. I missed my friend and my soul sister.

Before I would have hated touching her, knowing he touched her. Knowing they were together. But now...I didn't seem to care much.

"I heard you imprinted, on Bella's son," she said.

"Yep."

She smiled. "This is even better then that time you kissed Tommy Finick," she said.

I groaned at the memory. Tommy Finick had been this kid I crushed on in first grade. I had fallen in love with him, kissed him on the cheek and he screamed how I gave him cooties and that I was ugly.

So I punched him in the face.

"Yeah well, shit happens," I said.

"What is he like? Is he any different from a human baby?"

"Let's go to the living room and we'll talk," I said.

We headed for the living room. Sam was sitting on the couch across from mom. He looked away when he saw me enter. Mom got up and gave me a hug.

"Leah, welcome home."

I sat down with mom, Emily and Sam sat across from us. Emily looked happy, Sam refused to look at me. I had a feeling this was going to be an interesting talk.

"Leah, how have you been? It has been so long."

"Well, imprinted for one. Joined Jake's pack."

"What is your imprint like?"

"Well, he looks human. He has green eyes, like his dad did before he transformed. They seem to be growing quickly. They look like the y are month's old but are already reading and writing."

So this is what it feels like to gush?

"And they have gifts. Nessie can show you her memories and when she touches you and she is the only one who can penetrate Bella's mind."

"I thought Bella had some kind of protection against stuff like that?" she asked.

"She does, but they think that her being her daughter might have something to do it, but I don't buy that because EJ's power doesn't work on her."

"What can he do?"

"Well you know how Edward can read minds? Well EJ does the opposite. He can let you here his thoughts. Also he is immune to Edward's power. They think he might have some kind of shield like Bella."

"So how did they come up with their names?"

"Well Bella thought she was having just one kid so she called him EJ for Edward-Jacob. The most important guys in her life."

"That's sweet, what about Renesmee?"

"It's an anagram of her mom Renee and Esme, Edward's adoptive mom. Her middle name is Carlie. For Charlie and Carlisle. But since Renesmee is retarded Jake calls her Nessie. Man was Bella pissed when she found out."

We continued to talk. It was just the three of us girls. Sam never said anything. Just continued to stare off into space. I didn't let him bother me. Surprisingly I was having a good time talking to mom and Emily.

"What about blood? Do they drink it?" Emily asked.

"Yes, but they are capable of eating human food. They don't like it though, they prefer blood," I said.

"So what is this EJ like?" mom asked.

"Well he is totally different from Nessie and his parents. They are calmer and collected, a little dull too. But EJ is more outgoing and full of energy."

"Sounds like he gets it from Renee, Charlie's old wife," Sue said.

"Yeah, he is a real handful. I swear I turn my back and he is off getting into trouble. Like the other day he found Edward piano and started banging on the keys so hard he-"

Sam stood up suddenly and left the room. I heard the door slam and Emily looked at me apologetically. "Sorry Leah, Sam hasn't been taking the news of your imprinting to well."

"Why not? Because EJ's a hybrid?"

She nodded. "You know Sam has a huge grudge against them. He blames them for all the pain and loss you have all faced since you all phased. He feels...betrayed by you."

"Betrayed?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I know it's stupid. He and I got into a fight about it."

I looked at her amazed. The last time they had a fight he scared her face up.

"I told him he should be happy for you. He always said imprinting was natural and was a nature thing. But after you imprinted on EJ well, all that just flew out the window."

I got up. Mom grabbed my hand. "Leah, let it go," she said.

"No, I am tired of this shit, I will be back."

I got up and headed for the door. Sam wasn't outside, he must be somewhere close. He wouldn't wonder to far from Emily. I followed his scent to the woods. I didn't have to walk far to find him. He was sitting on a fallen tree, his back was to me.

I walked up to him and put my hands on my hips. "What the hell is your problem Sam? I finally find an imprint and you are a prick about it."

"It would be fine if your imprint wasn't a monster," he said.

A growl escaped my lips. "Who the hell do you think you are? How dare you talk about him like that. You have never even met EJ!"

"And I don't want to; I hate what he has turned you into!"

"Turned me into? What? A calmer, more rational person?"

He got up and spun around to face me. "Their lap dog Leah! How could you leave the pack! Leave me!"

"Hmm, let's see. First I was tired of taking orders from you, second I was tired of hearing your thoughts about how awesome Emily was and oh yeah, I was trying to look after my brother! You know, Seth, the kid you used to hang out with, the kid you used to treat like a little brother, the same kid you humiliated in front of the others when you made him submit to your authority?"

"I am the alpha Leah, I can't have everyone questioning my orders!"

"Yeah, well it's a good thing we did otherwise Bella and the twins would be dead and we would be at war!"

He growled. "You don't get it Leah! He is a hybrid, part vampire! The same monsters we are supposed to hunt! The same monsters who caused all the pain and heartache we have gone through! All the sacrifices we have had to make was because of them, the pain we went through was because of them, what happened to Emily was because of them!"

"No, you are wrong Sam. You need to stop blaming the Cullen's for every bad thing that has happened in your life!"

"See, the old Leah hated the Cullens. The Leah I knew would never be friends with them, the Leah I knew wouldn't care if they died!"

"Well guess what. The Leah you knew was fucking miserable! The Leah you knew was so full of pain because her dad was dead; the man she loved left her for her cousin and had to be in the minds of a bunch of stupid, testosterone filled boys! Seriously Sam, you know how fucked up it is to dream about kissing girls? My own cousin? To be told to just get over you, to act like we had was nothing?"

"We tried to help you Leah but you just lashed out," he said.

"Yeah, because that is what people do when they are in pain Sam. I needed some fucking space, but you and everyone were always in my face and my head, telling me to get over it and move on. Well guess what, I moved on, I imprinted. For the first time in a long time I feel great Sam. All that hate and anger and bitterness no longer rules me. I finally feel like I can put everything behind me and move on."

"But he is part vampire Leah that goes against everything we stand for!"

"So what? You're just pissed because you were so certain and sure you knew about imprinting. You thought you knew how life worked, well guess what Sam, you don't know shit! I am happy Sam. I am no longer in your pack, I don't have to be hurt by you and I have someone to love and who will love me for who I am. Billy was right because I want to be a better person now and I will be. I am taking my life back Sam. I am going to get a job and go to college and-"

"You can't do that Leah, you have a calling," Sam said.

"The fuck I can't. Jake is allowing me to attend college. I am planning on taking yoga too to help control my anger."

"We can't leave the reservation Leah. Our destiny is to live here and die here, just like the previous generations have done. It is a sacrifice we must make."

I rolled my eyes. "Hello, we have two packs Sam; I will have more than enough time to do both. And destiny? I make my own destiny. I have made more than enough sacrifices for a life that was shoved down my throat. You should be happy for me Sam!"

"Happy! How can I be happy knowing the woman I loved has imprinted on a Goddamn monster!"

"Fuck you Sam! You're just pissed because I moved on, because I finally have someone to love, because I no longer have to pine after you!"

Sam got right up in my face. "That is not it at all! How can you love one of the monsters that brought you so much pain! That brought us all pain!"

"Your issues with the Cullens are your issues Sam, so stop forcing them on me. EJ has done nothing to hurt me Sam, which is more then I can say about you. So let me tell you something. You can go ahead and disapprove all you want, but don't be talking shit about my imprint and if you can't handle it then don't come around me because I am not going to tolerate you being a dick."

I turned and headed back for the house. Sam didn't try to stop me. I did not look behind to look at him. He made his point, and so did I.

I decided to go back to the Cullen's and see EJ. Time around him would be good for me. Help me calm down. I kissed mom and Emily goodbye and made plans to see her again. When Sam wasn't around.

As I ran back to the Cullen's I couldn't help but think of how different I was now. The old me would have never hugged Emily or want to hang out with her. Things were just too awkward. But the imprinting had changed things.

Was Sam right? Was I so different. I mean I didn't think I was terribly different now was I? I wasn't all gooey eyed like Jake and the others. I loved EJ, I would die protecting him. But I wasn't going to cater to his every whim. I didn't want him to become spoiled after all.

I wasn't as mean and nasty as I was before. Don't get me wrong, I could still be a bitch when I needed to. But that was a good thing. The pain that had followed me for so long was like a bad dream. I don't care what anyone thinks, I am glad this happened.

When I finally arrived at the Cullen's I found a huge surprise. Charlie's car was in the driveway. I quickly made my way to the house, why was Charlie here? Had he finally got tired of not seeing Bella and decided to come?

My God what if Bella attacks him? She had managed to ignore the scent of that hiker but what would prolonged exposure do to her?

I expected a lot of things when I went inside. But Charlie playing with Nessie and EJ was not one of them.

"Leah, what are you doing here?" Charlie asked.

"Leah!" EJ said excitedly.

Charlie did not seem to notice EJ's mental speech. EJ could focus his power so he could select those he wanted to hear him.

"Looking for Jake," I quickly said.

Charlie got this weird look on his face. Like Jacob's name brought on a bad memory.

I looked to the other Cullen's and saw they were all happy smiles and everything, but there was a tension in the air. Bella sat next to Charlie and she didn't seem to be bothered at all by his presence.

"Ah, Leah, there you are," Edward said getting up. "I was wondering if I could speak with you...about babysitting?"

"Sure."

We headed for another room. Edward closed the doors and looked pissed. "What happened?" I asked.

He told me how Jacob, not wanting Nessie to leave so soon and wanting Bella and her to be happy phased in front of Charlie. Charlie showed up, freaked out, wanting to know if Bella was safe. He just wanted to know if she was okay, he was so freaked out by what Jake did he said he wanted to know only what he needed to know.

He didn't know EJ and Nessie were his grand kids. They told Charlie they were the children of one of Edwards relations come to live with them.

"And he bought it?" I asked.

"He suspects, but he has convinced himself he needs to stay on a need to know basis," Edward said.

"Well, I know what needs to happen next," I said.

"Please, be my guest," Edward said with a smile.

I went back into the living room. "Jake, can I see you for a moment? I need to talk to you about...stuff."

Jake followed me back to the room where Edward was still waiting. I locked the door and spun around and slugged Jake right in the face.

"You fucking moron!" I hissed.

"Leah, what the hell?" Jake asked rubbing his face.

"I could ask you the same thing you retard!" I said pushing him on the chest. "You told him!"

"Leah, come on, if I didn't they were going to have to leave and take the twins. I did it so Bella could have more time with Charlie and the twins could stay with us longer," he said.

My face softened. "Oh Jake, that was so thoughtful of you."

He smiled, thinking he was in the safe zone.

Then I punched him again, right in the nose. Blood came flying out like fireworks and he fell on his ass. Edward covered his mouth, the smell of the blood must hurt his senses.

Jake's nose healed almost instantly and there was no blood flow. He glared at me and got up. "What the hell? You know, it is not a good idea to be hitting your alpha."

"Alpha, my ass!" I said slapping him upside. "Forgetting what you did was noble on some level, have you forgotten how old Charlie is? What if he had a heart attack Jake? Or did you forget what happened when my dad saw me and Seth phase?"

"Leah I am sorry," he said his face losing some anger. "It was the only thing I could think of."

"Idiot! What if Charlie reacted different? What if he shot your dumb ass?"

"Come on, bullets can't hurt us?"

"We're not bullet proof Jake and how do you know a bullet to the head still won't kill us?"

"Charlie wouldn't hurt me; I have known him all my life."

"You still had no right Jake; this isn't just your secret. You have put not only yourself in danger but the rest of us! Me, Seth, Quil, Embry and Sam's pack! You were selfish! You just wanted Nessie to stay!"

"You're one to talk, you would have done the same for EJ," Jacob said.

He had me there. I knew the Cullens were planning on leaving because of Charlie. A large part of me was super happy EJ was staying. But there was a part that was pissed at Jake for leaking our secret. We didn't survive this long by being stupid.

"I would have figured something better then revealing the tribe secret!"

"I am the heir Leah," he said.

"Yeah, the heir, but you're not the chief yet!"

"I think I know what I am doing, it is all working out or didn't you notice?"

"You just don't get it!" I growled. "This isn't about us or our imprints? Did you have to phase in front of him? No! You could have just talked to him, try and explain the situation, hell you could have worked with the Cullen's on this, but you had to go all lone wolf!"

"I made a choice Leah and I stand by what I did. You have no right to question me," he said, his face hard.

I went right up to him until we were so close our noses were almost touching. "Fuck you Black! You may be the alpha and future chief of the tribe, but you are not all knowing. This could have ended real badly; you put all our fates on the table today with this stunt. Centuries of secrecy ruined because of you! And if you think I am going to lick your ass like Seth and the others you have another thing coming buster! I am going to be there questioning your every move from now on! I did not leave one tyrant to follow another. I am going to call you on your shit and if you don't like it tough."

I walked to the door and unlocked it.

"And if you ever do something like this again I swear I will skin you and wear your fur as a winter coat!"

I slammed the door shut and made my way back to the living room. Charlie was still playing with the kids. The Cullens all grinned at me. Emmett and Bella especially.

Bella gave me a nod as thanks and I nodded back.

A little while later Jake reappeared, his face washed of blood, Edward followed looking highly satisfied. He gave me a very gratified nod and I nodded back.

Everything was going good; Charlie was simply enthralled by the twins. They turned the TV on so we watched the game. EJ loved it; it was his first time watching football.

There were a few tense moments when the twins did something that was a little odd, but Charlie was either trying really hard to ignore it or missed it.

"He smells really good Leah; can't I bite him a little? Please?" EJ asked.

I shook my head firmly.

He pouted.

I hated seeing him pout but I was not going to let him bite Charlie.

The only other problem was Emmett kept on making these little jokes that alluded to Bella and Edward's sex life. The kids obviously didn't get it, but the rest of us did. Bella glared at Emmett. I knew that if she had blood she would be blushing like a tomato.

She glared at him every time but he just laughed. It was funny, but I wish he would keep it down, the kids would hear and start asking questions.

"Leah, what does 'Get your freak on' mean?" EJ asked.

Too late.

When Charlie left everyone breathed a sigh of relief, that everything had went so well. Then Bella challenged Emmett to an arm wrestling contest. If she won he could never make jokes about their sex life again. If he won she could never stop him.

I didn't think she would win. She was still as dainty as she had been when she was human. I knew newborns were supposed to be stronger than normal, but surely she couldn't take on Emmett?

Much to my surprise she won easily. Emmett was a sore loser and demanded a rematch. Bella did a little show where she showed off her strength and karate chopped a boulder to pieces.

Nessie and EJ wanted to show off too. We watched as the crushed rocks to bits. They had to put a little more effort into it then a vampire would. They didn't turn it too dust like Bella did, but the rocks did crumble.

Later that night when the twins were tucked away Jake and I headed home. He did not speak to me and I figured he was still pissed about what I did.

We were in the woods, I went to go behind some bushes to phase but Jake stopped me.

"Leah, we need to talk," he said, sounding serious.

I sighed. "Look Jake, I know you are pissed and you think I overreacted."

"Actually you didn't, you were right Leah."

"Oh that is so typical, you know what? You can just...wait what?"

He smiled. "I said you were right Leah. What I did was risky. I was too busy thinking about Nessie to think that my decision would affect us all. The wolves included."

"Oh...well I am glad we cleared it up, "I said.

"It's just...I can't stand being away from her, I miss her right now," he said.

"I know, I miss EJ already," I said.

"I don't think clearly when it comes to her. Maybe Sam is right, maybe I am compromised," he said.

"Fuck Sam," I said. "Sam is on my shit list right now."

"Why? What happened?" he asked.

I told him what happened, how I went to visit mom but found Sam and Emily there. How everything was going well until Sam went menstrual. Then I told him about our talk.

"Sam has let his judgment be clouded before when it came to Emily Jake, you know it. But if it wasn't for you we would have killed Bella and the twins." a wave of disgust washed over me. "I can't even think what that would have been like."

"Me neither. But I need to watch what I do; I need someone who will make sure I don't over step my bounds, or do something that will put us in harm's way."

"Good thing you have Seth," I said.

He smiled. "Actually I was thinking about making you the new beta."

My eyes got big and round. For a moment I couldn't believe what I heard.

"What? Me? But Seth, he's your beta."

"I know, but Leah, I only had him as my beta because at the time because I trusted him more then you at the time. But now, since there are more of us and you proved yourself I want to offer you the job."

"Why me though? Why not Quil or Embry?" I asked.

"Same reason I decided to replace Seth. They are great and I trust them to take care of themselves and one another. But being an alpha takes grit, it takes a level of resolve to be a leader. Quil is too much of a goofball and Embry is too passive and sweet to lead. I don't think either of them could stand making hard choices."

"So since I am a world class ball buster you think I can do it?" I asked.

"I know you are Leah."

"But I have an imprint. I am just as compromised as you are," I said.

"Leah, you just beat the shit out of me. You are not compromised."

"Hmmm, let me think about this. I cannot be your beta and follow Seth or I can be your beta and boss the others around and get another chance to hit you?"

"Pretty much...although, you don't have to sound so enthusiastic about it."

I thought of what everyone back in La Push and what they would say when they found out.

I smiled. "Sign me up."

Fusedtwilight: Yep Sam was being a jerk again. Next chapter Irina shows up and the Denali coven meets the twins. Leah and Sam have one more talk, but I promise this time Sam explains his side of the story without being so jerkish. Please review.
