Embry P.O.V
We ran through the woods.
We raced each other, trying to see who was the fastest. Sadly the Makah wolves were proving themselves to be the faster wolves. Even Brian and Sid were like lightning.
Not only that but I couldn’t hear them. Unless they wanted me to hear them, every so often they would jibe us for being slow or they would make conversation with us. But besides that I could not hear the other stuff. Usually the way the link works was you would get the little things of the mind, the flotsam and jetsam of the minds. The stuff that floats on the surface of the mind that you don’t want to be heard but is there for all to see. These guys didn’t have that.
“We do have that,” Kouga said. “But we have been doing this since we were born, we learned at a very early age how to shield our thoughts.”
“Just another one of the things you guys are good at huh?” I asked.
“We have had many more years to shield our minds then you have, you have only been a wolf for a few years. We weren’t born like this, we had to learn control and discipline at a very early age.” He said.
He came running up beside me he had grey fur on the top part of his body, but his legs and underbelly were white.
“What is it like? To be born a wolf?” I asked curiously.
“What is it like to not be born a wolf?” He asked back.
He let me into his head, I found it was…different from any other wolf minds I head felt. Before it was like you could always sense the human and wolf instincts battling for dominance. But Kouga’s mind was…peaceful. There was no battle because there was no human and wolf instinct, there was only…..
“So this is what the mind of a non pure wolf is like?” Kouga said. “Kind of chaotic, how do you deal with fighting two instincts?”
“We manage. Your mind it’s different it’s not wolf or human, it’s like you have both, but they’re not separate.” I said.
“Yes, I guess you could say even in our human form we are very…wolfish. Our minds are the same no matter what form we take, we even behave like wolves. It makes Chris’s job tough, normal wolves don’t have so many wolves in a single pack you see.” He said.
We were on the edge of our territory that bordered with the Cullen’s. Jake and the others were waiting for us.
“Bout time, you two sure did take your time.” Tom said annoyed.
“Some of us like to take our time Tom.” Kouga said simply.
Suddenly the smell of vampire was in the air, I and the others recognized the scent on the Cullen’s, but the Makah wolves did not and were on the defensive. Their fur was raised and their teeth were bared. They growled in the direction the smell was coming from.
“Easy it is the Cullen’s.” Jake said.
“Why are they here?” Brian growled.
“They must have been hunting when they caught our scents.” Seth said.
Carlisle, Emmett, Rose, Edward and Jasper came into view. They approached cautiously but peacefully.
“Everyone back into the woods and shift back.” Jake said.
“I am not shifting in front of a bunch of fucking vampires!” Brian hissed.
“They are our friends, and you will treat them as such!” Jake growled.
“To hell with that!”
“Listen old man this is my pack and if you’re going to be a member of it you will do as I say or I will send your ass back to Makah!” Jake roared.
Brian whined and lowered his head. Tom and the rest of Brian’s son’s joined him.
“Enough! Brian was out of order you all know that,” Sid said. “Now we will all obey our pack leader and phase to human!”
They all lowered their head and headed for the woods.
“I apologize for having to order them for you Jake,” Sid apologized. “My brother can be an ass, but he is not used to being on friendly terms with vampires…none of us are.”
“Just go and phase back okay,” Jake said.
“I will talk to the others and see if I can remind them why we are here.”
After Sid headed off into the trees Jake turned to us.
“Okay guys look I had the Cullen’s meet us here. I want Edward to read their thoughts to see if they are as trustful as they claim.”
“You sure? I mean they can block their thoughts pretty well.” Quil said.
“My power is stronger than the link your pack share’s,” Edward said. “I can hear deeper into a mind then you’re capable of. Although I must give them credit, they are all very disciplined.”
“Alright guys lets phase back.” Jake said.
The Cullen’s turned around while we got some privacy so we could change into our clothes. I wanted to get this over with. I was anxious to get back home with Leah.

Leah P.O.V
I sat at the table with Chris.
He was drinking some tea Old Quil had, I drank some apple juice. Chris had brought in all his family’s luggage which was easy, wolf strength and all. Old Quil told him where to put it all and left us to go take a quick nap, too much excitement and all.
“I am happy I can finally meet with him,” Chris said. “Sid always talked of Quil and our Aunt Susan, I only met her and him when they came to visit. After Susan died the others made it clear Quil wasn’t welcome.”
“What was Susan like?” I asked.
“She was a very wise and gentle woman,” Chris said sipping some more tea. “She was always able to see the bigger picture, she knew our little program had good results biologically speaking, but it made us too narrow minded on life.”
“It can’t be too bad if someone like you was a result.” I smiled.
“I wasn’t supposed to be a result,” He said bitterly. “My mother was a spoiled rich brat, sleeping with my father was taboo because he was poor and too dark skinned for her parents…so of course she had to have him. Problem was dad had a crush on her and got her pregnant which did not figure into her equation, they married but after I turned a year old she left. She couldn’t handle being poor and I guess a part of her knew there was something different about my dad and his friends.” He rubbed his eyes before he continued. “I guess that was what attracted her to him, the sense he was strange, different, forbidden. But it was only supposed to be a little fling with danger not a lifelong commitment.”
“Do you still keep in contact with her?” I asked.
“Once in a while, every Christmas, and odd birthday, she married some rich man and gave him some kids. I don’t think my own little brothers know I exist.” He said sadly.
Damn, what do you say to that? ‘Sorry your mom is cunt of the year.’ Doesn’t seem to cut it. Instead I simply put a comforting hand on his.
“The man who got me pregnant was the love of my life until he imprinted on my cousin.” I said.
“What brought that up?” He asked with a laugh.
“I figured that since you told me something depressing I could do the same.”
“Trying to cheer me up?” He asked.
“No, just letting you know life has kicked me in the ass too.” I said.
He smiled and began to trace patterns around my palm. Okay time to go into bitch mode.
“Having said that-” I pulled my hand out of his, “I think I need to set up some ground rules.”
“What do you mean?” He asked confused.
“Cut the bullshit, I know why you are here,” I said getting serious. “And it’s not going to work.”

Embry P.O.V
We stood talking with the Cullens.
Nothing really important, we introduced the new guys to them, and vice versa. Good thing we had Jasper there, his power to keep things calm, I saw Edward look at me and nod his head.
I followed him until we were far away enough not to be heard, but close enough to not look to conspicuous.
“I have been successful in plucking thoughts from their minds,” He said.
“And?” I asked.
“I can confirm their intentions are pure, for the most part.” He said.
“Care to explain?” I said. Damn vampires and their drama.
“They have been sent as an act of good will, but they also a secret agenda. Tristan and the elders know of Chris’s desire for a normal family. They want him and the other younger wolves to try and do one of two things. Either seduce Leah and become her mate, or convince her to go to Makah with the baby.”
I felt myself begin to shake in anger. The thought of those bastards trying to take Leah or the baby back to Makah made me feel a black rage. But then Jasper sent a nice little ‘Happy wave.’ My way.
“They do not intend to use violence, the Makah elders specifically chose these wolves because they all have yet to breed which they think will appeal to Leah, and they all have social and physical attributes which make them popular in Makah with the women.” Edward continued.
“What about Sid and Brian?” I asked.
“Merely here to observe and make sure everything runs smoothly.” He said.
“Can we depend on them?” I asked.
“They are not planning on backstabbing, they are here for peace. But they are also here for Leah and the baby. They truly believe one of them will successfully seduce her.” He said with a grin.
“They obviously do not know Leah at all.” I said with a smile.
“Obviously not,” he said with same grin. I guess Sir Emo doesn’t know how to laugh.
He sighed and rolled his eyes. “Will I ever lose that ridicules name?”
“Not a chance, listen why is your sister here?” I nodded toward Blondie.
“She refused to let Emmett come here with a bunch of new wolves that could be a threat. Plus she has had a grudge against the wolves since the incident with Nessie’s birth.” I winced in remembrance of that unfortunate day. Edward must have heard my thoughts. “Water under the bridge,” He said waving his hand.
“Embry, time to run!” Jake shouted.
I and Edward quickly walked back to our respective groups.
“Good meeting you all,” Carlisle said with a kind smile. “I hope you find La Push and Forks satisfying.”
They all turned toward the woods one by one to the woods, until only Emmett and Rose were left. Emmett looked at the new guys with a challenging look, but Rose was looking at them in disgust. Then they turned to leave and Richard let out a wolf whistle.
Emmett spun around with a snarl but Rose put a hand on his chest, he looked at her confused and she smiled.
She turned to look at Richard and grinned. She raised her hand and trailed it down her chest, to her thigh, then to the curve of her ass and gave it a nice loud pat. Richard was definitely enjoying the show. “Like what you see?” She asked him huskily.
“Oh yeah.” Richard said throwing her a toothy grin.
“To bad, I prefer my men to have hair down there,” She said pointing her finger downwards.. “Sorry little puppy,” She said, “Go back to your little reservation and if you see any real men let me know…oh wait that’s right I don’t do dogs.” She laughed and so did Emmett. He wrapped his arm around her waist and gave her bottom a nice squeeze to rub the salt in his wounds.
Richard began to shake and for a minute I thought he was going to phase. But then he burst into laughter.
“Did you see that vamp? She has got to be the finest piece of ass I have ever seen!”
“She’s married!” Seth said.
“So, vows were made to be broken.” Richard said rubbing his hands together.
“Dude she’s a leech!” Tony said looking disgusted.
“So, pussy is pussy,” Richard said shrugging his shoulders.
“As much as I like your enthusiasm for the opposite sex son, if you don’t stop that train of thought I’ll kill you myself.” Brian said.
“Ohh but dad I’m only curious,” Richard said in a mock imitation of a child’s voice.
“No blood of mine will ever lay with a leech!” Brian growled at him.
“Honestly Richard that vamp would kill you.” Evert said shaking his head in disgust.
“Yeah, Emmett is the strongest of the Cullen’s,” Seth said.
“He is? Then why isn’t he leader?” Steven asked.
“Well he’s the physically strongest,” Seth said. “The top three would be Alice, Jasper, and Edward. Alice is only in there because of her visions, but I think Edward is the best, Jasper is good but sooner or later Edward would get the drop on him.” Seth said admiring his hero.
“You’ll have to forgive Seth,” Quil said wrapping an eye around Seth’s shoulders. “He’s had the hots for Edward for ages.”
Seth got red in the face and tried to punch Quil who dodged. Every one burst into laughter. We Quickly phased and Seth immediately went chasing after Quil. We all began running again heading for Quil’s. Where Leah was.
I hope that prick Chris has had no luck with his mission.

Leah P.O.V
“I don’t know what you are talking about,” Chris said, his eyes unreadable.
“I wasn’t born yesterday Chris. I know you are here under some delusion that you can sweep me off my feet and carry me of to Makah and we will live happily ever after.” I said.
“You’re very blunt,” He said blinking in surprise.
“This is me at my nicest, but I can turn nasty in a sec so don’t forget that.” I warned.
“Will do.”
We sat there awkwardly for a few seconds. We never broke eye contact, which let me see how nice and dark those blue eyes were. No…baaaad Leah stay away from those thoughts. Damn hormones, turning me into super slut.
“Is there no chance for us?” He asked a little sadly.
I studied his face, looking for something to tell me his motives.
“Why me? Is it because I’m a wolf?” I asked.
He nodded. “That is part of the reason. Growing up as a half-breed and not being as pure as the others I have had to fight harder, work harder than many others to prove my worth. I was so happy the day I became the pack leader, it was like a great triumph you know?”
I could understand. When Jake made me his Beta I was thrilled. It was like I was finally able to take all those chauvinistic cracks the guys had thrown at me and say ‘Fuck you!’ To all of them.
“But there was also the downside. By proving myself I had to trap myself in more rules and regulations of the pack. The pack leader must breed as many little wolves as possible, he can never settle down with just one woman, unless she is his imprint or a female wolf.”
“Why a female?” I asked.
“Because the female is the Alpha bitch, she is like the Queen to his King. Together they both rule the pack. But there was no female born or summoned this generation so I must wait.”
“Wait?”
“Yes, until the day comes when the next is born or summoned or when I imprint I must phase and stay young.”
“But why?”
“In the Makah pack the hierarchy is determined by fights. You want to show you’re big and tough and worthy of being a breeder, then you must fight for it. It’s not just about the honor and glory, but about being allowed to procreate and have a wife and children.” He said tiredly, like by just talking about it was sapping him of strength.
“That is fucked up,” I said disgusted. “That wasn’t mentioned in our little meeting.”
“Yes, we thought it would be best to wait a little while for everything to sink in before we mentioned that little detail.” He said bitterly.
Shit. Next time I bitch about life in La Push I need to remember this little talk. Makah wolves have it harder hands down.
“And the pack leader is the strongest, the smartest, and the fastest. Thus it is imperative we pass on our genes to the next generation.”
“Smartest? What is there a written exam for that part?” I smiled.
“Actually yes,” He smiled back. Strength is good, but being smart enough to use it is best. After all, no one wants dumb babies.”
“And you want to have a nice white house with a white picket fence and a few kids and a dog?” I asked knowingly.
“Exactly, and until you showed up I thought I would have to wait a generation or two before I could have that,” He said hopefully. He hoped that now that I saw his point of view I would agree. He was wrong.
“Can’t you just quite? Give up your job to someone else?” I asked.
“No, I can’t. Truth is I am only here for a year, maybe two if I’m lucky, then I go back and do my duty.” He said.
“Well as the pack leader I’m sure you’ve donated your…uh, valuable services to your community.” I said.
He laughed. “Interesting way of putting it. But no, I have yet to mate with any of the girls the council desires me too.” He said.
“So you’re a virgin?” Whoa little personal there Leah.
“I have slept with plenty of girls Leah I am a red blooded American male after all. But I have my responsibilities to the tribe and pack. I made a vow years ago that if I had not imprinted or found a female wolf by the time I turned twenty-five I would give in and breed.” he said sadly.
“But I thought you only want one wife? Not this whole polygamy bullshit.” I said.
He squeezed his hands on his cup so hard I thought it would break. “I have my responsibilities, I made oaths and promises when I took this position,” He said. “I can’t betray countless generations.”
I took his hand in mine again. “I once…I know a man who sounds like you, on and on about responsibility, and destiny and fate. But you know what? It is all a bunch of bullshit, we always have a choice. My…friend imprinted on someone and it caused someone he loved great pain. He had to end things with her, but in a not so good way. Now my friend may have had no choice imprinting, but he still could have chosen different ways to end it. Smarter ways, less then painful ways.” I squeezed his hand. “You do have a choice, run away, start a new life, or stay here and make your own life,” I said.
“That sounds so tempting, but if I do that then all those years of fighting and practicing would have meant nothing, I can’t do that.” He said.
“Then there is nothing I can do for you except wish you luck,” I said sadly.
“So there is no chance of us being together?” He asked.
“No, my life is good right now, everything is going smoothly for me…given my circumstances. I have had enough speed bumps in my life, I don’t need another. So please don’t piss around, or I won’t hesitate to have you sent back to Makah,” I said going for a ruthless angel.
“I just tell you my life story and you call me a speed bump!?” He asked angrily.
“Yes,” I said simply. “You are here to try and convince me to do the Makah way, well no. I like my life the way it is now. You are a good guy, but I don’t think we would be good together, something tells me you like your women more calm and docile,” I said.
“Well you are a bit rough for my liking,” he smiled.
“Well that is how I am, I speak my mind, I’m independent, and I have little care for others feelings. It would not work out between us.” I said.
“Alright, I should warn you the others were told to try and win you over too, but I’ll tell them it’s pointless.” he said.
“Thank you, and who knows maybe you’ll find your imprint here, lord knows people have been doing it left and right,” I said.
“I think I would like that, move here and get away from all that bullshit back home.”
A sound of howling filled the air.
“They’re having fun.” I said.
“They sure are.”
