The Stories of Leah Clearwater - (Book One)

Chapter 24 - Two Alphas. Two packs. One major decision.

August 14th, 2006
Oh my god. Please shoot me. Let me fall off the cliff and hit the rocks below. No I’m not suicidal but, Jacob is driving me there. He keeps going on and on. Dude get over it. She married the parasite, move on. I’m cruel sounding but whatever. He’ll never have a chance. 

Well the week had passed. Everything was so quiet well quiet for me. I locked myself away. Anything I could read I would. I just needed a distraction. I was harboring such anger, so was Seth. I couldn’t stand the all the, “Love” in the air. Seth still held a grudge  and that was out of character for him. This was actually impressive. Sounds sick yes I know. I was glad to actually see something igniting a fire under Seth’s anger for once. He was too easy going. Well he was finally starting to crack. I was quite smug about it. 

Finally he spoke. A week after the wedding. Actually he barked, “I don’t need a baby sitter. Why can’t Sam, mind his own business?!”

My mom spoke up, “Because he is the Alpha of the pack. The pack in which you and your sister are part of. I’m an elder of the council. So what happens within this pack affects us all. So please understand where we are coming from. I’m not ok with you befriending vampires.”

Seth clenched his fists.

I walked out of the kitchen to see this. “Seth calm down.” I spoke calmly.

“Leah, SHUT UP! You just need to go away like the others. All of you need to just butt out.” Seth whipped around and almost ripped the front door from it’s hinges. I followed him outside. 

We were crossing the front yard towards the woods. “Seth don’t run away. It won’t solve anything. Trust me. Just talk to me please.”

He stopped so abruptly I almost walked into him. I caught myself in the nick of time.

“Oh so I’m just supposed to stand there and smile. Play nice. Be the good little brother. Keep my mouth shut. Take orders from everyone. Including you and mom. I don’t think so.” Then out of no where he snapped. He was imitating a toddler voice, “Oh I’m a baby. Goo goo gaga. Care to change me while your at it. Wanna hold my hand. Going to put me in a timeout.” His face was turning red. He was not going to phase. He had great control.

I gently put a hand on his shoulder, “Calm down.”

He pushed it off, “Don’t touch me. You don’t care. None of you do.”

I snarled, “You take that back Seth. I do too care.”

He looked at me and shook his head, “No. You don’t care about anyone except yourself. If Leah’s miserable, everyone has to be.” I growled. “Keeping growling princess.” He turned around to walk away smirking.

I lost my temper. I lunged at him, knocking him to the ground. “Get off of me you crazy woman.”

He tried to push me off, “Apologize. I’m not crazy you brat.”

Seth rolled us over and he was now holding me down. “You need to chill out Leah.” I tried to head butt him. Wolf reflexes he was quick and dodged it. I struggled trying to push him off. “Ha, your not going anywhere. Not until you calm down. I’m not letting you kick my butt. You’re nuts.” I kept trying. For being so scrawny he had the strength. I was exhausted physically and emotionally. Then we had company.

“Damn! Seth is holding Leah down.” Paul choked out a laugh.

Sam shook his head, “Why does she do this?”

My mom stood there and watched from the front door. Then to make matters worse, Charlie pulled up. “Kids stop fighting.” Charlie called out climbing out of the cruiser hurrying over.
