Welcome back, and can I just say, look how good I'm being with my updates! I had a review about the Elders involvement in the Pack and why it was necessary, and I just wanted to clarify. The Elders are the ones that know about the wolves. They're the only ones that know the legends are real and so if the Pack have problems, I assume that they would go to the Elders for assistance. The Elders have the power to make decisions for the Pack's wellbeing and I think it's pretty important to remember that. Plus, without the Elders, the new Pack's information of the shifting and imprinting would be lost, as they record every new event in their journals for the future generation of wolves.

This chapter is going to be for Leah because I don't want her to be left out of the loop and I think it's really important that she gets her say.

But here you are, Chapter 27 of UNCHANGEABLE…

Leah POV:

Okay, so being the only female wolf is both awesome and annoying. Awesome, because I'm the only female shifter! Annoying, because I'm the only female shifter. It's a happy problem that I can't do anything about. Not to mention being in tune with my ex fiancé's mind was a downer. But I must admit, I was rather good at blocking my mind from him. Except for maybe a few intimate recollections with Paul Lahote and another guy after him. I wanted to make him squirm with jealousy. It was also a way for me to get back at him for hurting me so bad. I was still broken from what he did. Not to mention my ex best friend Emily. I tried everything I could to block that day from my mind, but sometimes it slipped out during patrol and Sam would feel crushed again. I wish I knew that the last time we made love would be our last. I would have never stopped if I had known.

Flashback…

"Baby I think these would look perfect with the bridesmaid's dresses" I shoved the magazine under his nose.

"What are they?" he asked, raising his eyebrow. I rolled my eyes. Trust Sam to ask me to marry him and then not have a clue how to plan a wedding. Luckily, all women knew what they wanted for their wedding day. But honestly, I would have been happy with getting married in a garbage bag, as long as it was Sam I was marrying.

"Lillies"

"They look great baby, add it to the list of things to do and we can get started on that tomorrow morning" he kissed my lips and pulled away, before leaning back in and capturing them again. His fingers wound into my long black hair, keeping me latched onto his mouth. I pushed the magazine off of my lap and moved myself to straddle his lap. His hands held onto my butt and ground me into him.

"Mm baby" Sam groaned into my mouth. I reached up and untangled the halter necktie on my top and letting it pool around my waist, releasing my naked breasts. Sam gasped in lust and immediately latched his hot mouth onto a pert nipple. I arched my back, trying to push my breast further into his face. I continued to grind into his hardness and then realised I wanted him inside me.

"Take off your shorts" I said, as I stood up and removed my own. He smirked as he stared at my naked form, before taking himself in his hand and pleasuring himself at the sight of my body. It made me moan out loud.

"Come here" he pulled my hand down and settled me over his cock. He teased my entrance with the head before slowly sinking into me, making me gasp with pleasure.

"Ohh baby" he groaned into my breasts as I began to ride him. His hot hands massaged my ass cheeks, encouraging to ride him harder. When my legs began to tire, he held me down with him buried deep inside of me before rotating my hips for me, allowing his pubic bone to rub my clit.

"Oh yes!" I cried out as I felt my orgasm approaching. Sam wrapped his arm around my waist and started bucking his hips up into me.

"Fuck LeeLee you feel so good"

"Oh Sammy fuck!" I came hard as Sam held me down onto him before I felt his hot seed fill me.

"I love you LeeLee"

"I love you too Sammy"

We laid down on the couch, still joined at the groin, for an hour. It wasn't until I remembered Emily's arrival was soon that I finally let him slip out from inside me and started clearing up the mess we had made.

"Aw baby where are you going?" he pouted as he watched me run around the living room, clearing up the magazines I had tossed to the floor.

"Emily will be here soon to try her dress on and help me with the flowers" I flustered around until I heard her car over the gravel in the front yard. I went to the door to greet her.

"Sammy, put a shirt on or something"

"Oh come on, she isn't going to mind" I glared at him as he winked at me, only teasing. He went upstairs to put a shirt on just as Emily knocked on the door.

I opened the door and pulled her straight into my arms "Hey Em! I missed you so much!"

"Oh Leah! We shouldn't leave it so long next time! I've brought the supplies you texted me for last night" She held a grocery bag up and waggled her eyebrows.

"Thanks Em, come on in" I held the door for her as she entered through the kitchen, placing the bag on the table.

"Soo, where's your husband to be?" She said excitedly.

"I told him to go put a shirt on, good manners and all" I put the kettle on the stove, waiting for the water to boil over.

"Was that Emily I heard?" Sam called from the stairs. He was dressed in his grey sweatpants and a maroon t shirt. Mm he looked sexy. I licked my lips and he noticed and winked at me. He came over and kissed me and then went to greet Emily. I poured out a herbal teabag for Emily, and for some reason I couldn't understand why she liked that shit, it tasted nasty to me.

"Sammy, do you want a tea or coffee?" I asked, but he didn't reply. I turned around and saw him staring at Emily intensely. Emily blushed and dropped her gaze as I stared at Sam.

"Sammy? Tea or Coffee?" I asked him again. He still had his eyes on Emily. I didn't like the way he was looking at her. I mean he had seen her plenty of times before, what was going on with him?

"Sammy!" I shouted and he finally looked at me, but then he looked straight back to Emily. I shook my head and went ahead making him a coffee. He had to go into work later on tonight and I knew he'd be tired.

"So Sam, are you looking forward to marrying Leah?" Emily asked, although she was still blushing, and her gaze had dropped to the mug I had just placed in front of her. I sat down next to Sam and took his hand. He immediately pulled it back, as if he'd been burned.

"Sorry" he said without looking at me, and he took my hand back in his, although he stayed rather rigid.

"Uh, marrying Leah? Yeah, yeah I'm pretty stoked" he replied in a bored tone.

"Em I need to go over to my mom's and try my wedding dress on, she's going to do some alterations tomorrow. Did you wanna come along?" I asked, taking a sip of my tea.

"Uh, my dress is here, isn't it? Why don't I just bring it over tomorrow and then we can try them on together?" I agreed, it didn't make sense for her to come with me tonight. Mom wanted me to stay for dinner anyway, she said it was a family affair and even if Emily was family, Mom was adamant that it was only me, Seth, her and Dad.

"Okay, Sam do you think you could ask Jared if you could stay at his house tonight? It might make Em feel a bit more comfortable?" Sam stared at me as if I had just said a nasty swear word. But he nodded his head anyway. I huffed and pulled him to the side, rather roughly.

"Sammy, what's gotten into you?" I hissed under my breath.

He shook his head "It's nothing Leah, just nervous about the wedding" he forced a smile and I pretended not to notice that he hadn't used my nickname.

The rest of the afternoon was pretty awkward. Sam and I sat on the couch whilst Emily sat in the lounger opposite, flicking through the wedding magazines. I tried making conversation with Sam, but he either wouldn't reply, or he'd reply with one-word answers. I also noticed that he hardly ever took his eyes away from Emily. If she got up, his eyes followed her. If she sat down, his eyes remained fixed on her. If she reached for her mug of tea, his eyes would follow the trail of her hand. I was frustrated and annoyed that he wouldn't even talk to me. It was like I wasn't even in the room.

"I'm going to head to my Mom's. Sammy, remember to call Jared and ask him if you can stay for the night" I stared at his face, waiting for some sort of recognition that I had spoken to him. Instead, Emily prompted him to answer.

"Sam?" she said to him, nodding her head to Leah. He didn't look at me when he replied.

"Yeah okay" and that was it. I stormed off, irritated with his strange behaviour.

The next morning…

I pulled up outside my house and saw that Em's car was still here. I jumped out and ran straight into the house, eager to show her my wedding dress. I had it with me. I know! I could surprise her with it. She's freak! I dumped my bag in the kitchen and headed to the living room to pull the dress on. I was glad there were no fiddly bits that I couldn't reach. I quickly placed a call to Jared asking him if Sam was still asleep.

"Sam's not here Lee" he had said. My heart started thudding in my chest.

"But he said he was going to call you and stay over so Emily could stay at my house"

"Sorry Lee, I don't know what to tell ya. He never called, he never stayed, he's not been here" I hung up the phone, and that's when I heard it.

Moaning. But it was more than that… it was Emily's moaning. I quietly climbed the stairs, avoiding the creaky ones and crept closer to my bedroom door, which was open. I hid myself on the corner of the stairs and what I saw destroyed me.

Sam, my Sammy, was pushing himself into Emily's willing body. Her back was arched as his mouth was latched onto her nipple.

"Fuck Sam, harder!" she cried out and he did what she said. Her hands gripped his ass, willing him to go deeper.

"Oh fuck Em, you feel so good baby" he groaned into her neck, as his thrusts began to lessen. She cried out as her orgasm approached her, and then Sam roared as he came inside of her. Inside of my best friend. I didn't know why I was watching. I guess I wanted to see if they noticed me, but they didn't. I watched long enough for Sam to roll off of Emily and onto the bed, our bed, next to her. I heard him said that he loved her. I heard him say that she was the most beautiful woman he had ever laid his eyes on.

Then I brought myself into view. The wooden stairs creaked, alerting them of my presence. My wedding dress was trailing down the stairs behind me. I didn't cry, I didn't shout. I just looked at them, betrayal filling my eyes.

Emily saw me first and covered up her nakedness with my bed sheet "Leah! Oh my God! It's not what it looks like!" Sam turned fast and looked at me. He cocked his head to the side.

"Leah?" was all he said, and then got up, threw some boxers on, and walked down the stairs, straight past me. I was stood here in my wedding dress, looking like a complete idiot, watching my fiancé and my best friend fuck and declare their love for each other. I didn't realise Emily was stood in front of me until she was right in my face.

"Leah please forgive me! It's not what it looks like! Sam explained it all to me last night… I'm meant to be his! I'm his soulmate, please Leah!" she pleaded with me, but I had no idea what she was talking about. I picked up the bottom of my dress and turned to walk back down the stairs.

I didn't speak. I didn't cry. I didn't shout.

I found Sam outside sat on the porch "Leah, I can't explain it to you, but Emily is supposed to be mine. Not you. I'm sorry you got caught up in all of this, but the wedding is off. I'm sorry" he didn't even look at me as he spoke, instead chose to watch the kitchen, where Emily had just walked in.

I stood and watched, my fiancé look at my best friend as if she were the only woman on this Earth for him. I took a deep breath.

I didn't speak. I didn't cry. I didn't shout. I was numb. I couldn't feel anything.

Sam huffed "We'll have all of your stuff out of here by this afternoon, you can come pick it up then" and then he turned his back on her and walked into the house, where he picked Emily up and held her close to him.

I didn't speak. I didn't cry. I didn't shout. Instead I turned on my heel and walked away. I walked away from the only man I had ever loved. I walked away from our stolen childhood kisses. I walked away from our future. I walked away from the home that Sam and I had built together. I walked away.

I walked and walked and walked, straight into the woods. I ripped the stupid dress off of my body and tossed it into the stream, where the cold water lapped over it.

I didn't speak. I didn't cry. I didn't shout.

Instead I sat there, by that stream, not feeling anything. Hours must have gone by. Every hour that passed, I still felt nothing. Not the cold, not the pain, not the heartbreak. I remembered that I had left my bag in the kitchen. I didn't have anything left anymore.

All I knew for certain was the Emily had walked in and stolen my Sammy from my arms. She didn't even sound sorry about it. I always knew there was something underneath that nice girl exterior. I saw the way she used to look at Sam when we were teens. She looked at him with longing. She wanted him because I had him. She always wanted whatever I had.

Well, now she had him, and the joke was on me. I sat here, in my bra and panties for hours. Even when it started getting dark, I curled up into a ball on the ground and fell asleep. I hoped I wouldn't dream, but oh how wrong I was. A nightmare would have been the more appropriate description.

"Sammy!" I was wandering through the forest in my wedding dress. I didn't know why I was out here, but I had a bad feeling about something. I walked for what seemed hours but must have only been minutes. Then I saw him, leaning against a tree, waiting for me.

I ran up to him and into his arms where he caught me and held me close.

"LeeLee! I'm so sorry!"

"Sorry? What are you sorry for Sammy? We're getting married!"

"I'm not sure if we are anymore. I'm so sorry LeeLee, but it was out of my control!" I couldn't understand what he was talking about. He seemed confused as well.

"I don't understand Sammy"

He took my face in his hands and kissed me on the lips "I have to go now. I'm so sorry LeeLee"

Then he turned his back and walked away, fading from my view.

Waking up was the worst nightmare because my Sammy was gone. He was really gone.

I didn't speak. But I did cry and shout.

End Flashback…

I always thought there was something strange about that dream, but I never found out what it meant, nor did I care anymore. Sammy was just Sam now and I wasn't his LeeLee anymore either. Just Sam and Leah, pack mates, nothing more. Sometimes I did get upset about losing the future we envisioned for ourselves. We wanted to live in our house, get married, have beautiful children and a dog. Now I was alone. I didn't really know if I liked it or not. I mean some days I preferred being alone, but other days I just wanted company. Paul was a great distraction for a few months. I even envisioned us ending up together because we got on so well. Not only was the sex amazing, but he really helped me let Sam go and look to the future.

I usually kept my distance from Sam's house, except for Pack meetings, which were always painful for me. I wasn't trying to be petty, but every time I walked into that house, I saw the future that I could have almost had. It rips my heart out every single time. I mask my heart break with bitchiness. The guys are fed up of me most of the time because I'm always digging them about their imprints and how shit imprinting is. They stop listening to me after a while and that's what they still do now. The only person that really listened to what I had to say was Bella Swan. Now from what I've heard of her previously, she was a whiny brat who wanted her own way all of the time, hadn't seen her father in a year and got imprinted on by Paul. I thought that the Spirits had made a big mistake in pairing those two together, and if I was being honest, I didn't like it.

When I was with Paul, I was whole again, my heart began to repair itself. How stupid of me to think that Paul Lahote felt the same way. I knew he cared about me, I knew it wasn't just the sex that kept him coming back to me again and again, but I just wished that whatever he felt for me would keep him tied to me. It was selfish to think about it now, not when he had his imprint to love and care. But that was my fault. I had put a stop to our fling as soon as I phased and found out about imprinting. I wasn't going to develop feelings for Paul and have him imprint on another woman whilst I got thrown to the side again. I couldn't go through it a second time. Truth was, I was jealous of Bella. I was jealous of Kim. I was jealous of Hannah. I was jealous of Claire. I was jealous of Lauren. I was jealous of all of them because their partners weren't going anywhere. They wouldn't leave them, they wouldn't break their hearts. They would always love them and protect them. I mean, fuck I didn't need protecting, not when I turned into a giant dog when I was pissed, no, I wanted to be loved. I felt unlovable.

Sitting at home and moping was no good, I knew that, but what else was there to do? My patrol shift finished an hour ago and I didn't have any friends to take my time up. So here I was, lounging on my Mom's couch, in my Mom's house, flicking through channels on my Mom's TV. Sam and Emily never gave me back the furniture I had paid for. I remember working two jobs just to save enough money to buy us a TV. I felt a vibration against my leg and reached down to grab my phone.

"What do you want Swan?" I answered.

"Oh uh, hi Leah, I was wondering if we could meet for coffee or something?"

"I'm not really in the mood" I was, but I couldn't admit that to Bella Swan of all people. It's bad enough I poured my heart out to her the last time I saw her, and I wasn't making that mistake again.

"Aw come on, I really wanted to run something by you, please?" I could feel her puppy dog stare through the phone, fuck if I knew how that was possible.

"Ugh fine! When do you want to go?"

"Uhh, well actually I'm already on my way to your house. Paul is coming along too" Fucking great.

"Fine" I hung up the phone. I was pissed that Paul was coming. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't going to cause any trouble for the two of them, I knew you couldn't come between an imprint, but I would never do that anyway. It just makes me feel sick to think of our past and not be able to continue it. Not the sex. The respect, the care, the general companionship. I missed it. I missed being wanted by someone.

I had a quick shower, erasing the scent of a 12-hour patrol shift off of my skin, then dried myself and dressed in another pair of shorts and a white blouse. I was guessing we would be going out for coffee and this was my only nice top. Fuck, if I'm not allowed to go to sleep, coffee would probably be good for me right now. I was hanging on my feet. A loud knock on my door brought me back downstairs.

"Hi Leah!" Bella said as I opened the door.

"Hey" I said back, not bothering to look at Paul stood by the car. My heart started fluttering and not in the good way.

"Ready to go?"

"Yeah I guess so, I don't have any cash though…" I felt embarrassed at the fact. I wasn't allowed to work anymore so the only cash I got for rare outings was what my Mom gave me, but I hadn't seen her after patrol.

"Hey, don't worry about it. I invited you to come along, so I think it's my shout, don't you?" she smiled and took my hand, dragging me out of the house.

"Leah" Paul said in greeting. I didn't bother replying, just nodded my head. Man, Bella's car was sweet. I had plenty of leg room in the back and the chilly leather felt great against my exposed skin. Bella drove to a small coffee shop next to the Ateara's Market.

Once we had a table, Bella went to the cashier to put our coffee orders in. Paul and I were left at the table alone. I looked out of the window to try and distract myself from looking at him.

"You okay Lee?" he asked, seeing straight through my false bravado. I cringed internally at the nickname. Sam called me LeeLee and Paul had called me Lee.

"Fine" I said, without looking at him. Instead I focused on a passer-by who was walking her dog.

"Lee, you're not fine, I can tell. Come on, tell me"

"Just leave it would you?" I spat back at him. It was bad enough that he could see inside of my head when we patrolled together and now, he wanted me to open up my feelings to him with his imprint just a few meters away. Nah, not gonna happen.

"No, I'm not going to leave it. I know you, remember? I can tell when something is wrong-"

"-well you're mistaken then aren't you? I'm fine" I willed him to just drop it. Luckily, Bella came back to the table with a tray of coffees and pastries and a smile on her face that annoyed me.

"Everything okay?" she asked, probably noticing my face.

"Yep, everything's fine babe" Paul said, before he leaned in and kissed her. My stomach dropped.

"Thanks for the coffee" I said, picking up my mug and letting the liquid gold run down my throat. Holy shit it was good.

"No problem, so I just wanted to run something by you, um, you don't have to say yes obviously, I just thought I'd, um-"

"Spit it out Swan" I said, making Paul glare at me. I glared right back.

"Okay, I thought maybe you'd like to come to a slumber party I'm hosting for Lauren's birthday"

I looked at her "Why do you want me to come?" I was genuinely curious and touched. None of the imprints ever thought to invite me to stuff they did. I was hardly invited to the bonfires they held because it was imprinted wolves and imprints only. It was like they all forgot I was also a girl.

"Well, I don't want you to be left out" she said with a sad smile on her face that made me feel weird.

"Um, thanks but I'm not really into slumber parties-"

"-there will be alcohol-" she waggled her eyebrows at me.

Paul raised his eyebrows at me Damn it, he knew I couldn't turn down alcohol.

"-fine, look I'll stay for a few hours but I'm not staying over" I pointed my finger at her, and she clapped her hands together in excitement.

"Yay! Thank you Leah" she squealed.

We took some time to have some coffee and eat the pastries Bella bought and goddamn they were delicious. Have I even been into this coffee shop before?

"Leah, have you heard about Sam?" Paul said, with Bella looking at him with wide eyes.

"Don't tell me. He's still an asshole?" Bella's lips lifted slightly into a smile and Paul chuckled lightly.

"No. He's, uh, well, he got kicked out of his house" Paul said.

"He what?"

"Council kicked him out when they found out Emily had left. Said he wasn't viable to help from them when he wasn't in a position to give them a new generation of protectors"

"Fuckers! Is that all they care about? Getting new puppies? What about Sam, what's gonna happen to him now?" I was livid. Pushing my personal problems aside, Sam had been a good Alpha. Up until Emily started doing that weird shit to him, he was a good leader.

Paul just stared at me "What?" I snapped.

"Nothing, it's just, I didn't think you'd react like that-"

"-react like what? I may be a literal bitch Paul but I'm not going to shit on Sam even more"

Bella joined in "But he hurt you Leah. It doesn't matter that Emily is gone now, he still did what he did"

"Just because he hurt me it doesn't mean I have to hurt him back. I'm not looking for revenge, besides it's in the past now-"

"-is it?" Paul eyed me with a knowing look. I grit my teeth and mentally cursed him. I was patrolling with Paul a couple of nights ago and after I heard what Emily had done to Sam and that she had left, I accidentally let slip a memory of Sam and I when we were happy. Was I having second thoughts about getting back with Sam? No, I wasn't. I know what he did and what was to stop him from doing that to me again?

"Yes, it is" I said firmly "Sam and I are done. He decided that, not me-"

"-but don't you wanna at least talk to him? Get his side of the story?"

"What side Paul? We were getting married, he imprinted on Emily and forgot all about me, and then called the wedding off-"

"-yeah but he still cares for you-"

"-Did you not just hear me?! He forgot about me! When he looked at me, he didn't even recognise me! We've been in love since we were kids! How is it that one look at Emily erases all of that?" I cried out. Shit, hold it together Leah, don't cry for fucks sake.

"Leah. He's at my house now. I asked him to move in since I got way too much space. Why don't you go talk to him now?"

I was quiet for a moment. My heart told me to go talk to him, but my head was telling me to stay the hell away from him. But which did I follow? All I knew is, whatever choice I made, my heart was not the same as it once was.

"He slept with her. I watched them in my wedding dress!" I sniffed.

Paul sighed and took my hand "I know, and that's unforgivable. But you said it yourself, the imprint erased everything you had together. I know what hurt you came from Sam himself, but was it really Sam? Or was it a fucked up version of him created by Emily?"

"It doesn't matter. Sam is not Sammy anymore-"

"-just go talk to him!" Bella said desperately. Now I was getting mad.

"Screw this" I muttered and stormed out of the café. I went straight into the woods where I phased, shredding my only good top to bits.

LeeLee, is that you? - Sam

Don't call me that! – Leah

Sorry, I forget – Sam

I wish you wouldn't forget, talk about stabbing me in the heart over and over Sam – Leah

LeeL… Leah, that's not what I'm doing – Sam

But you have, haven't you? First with Emily, then with cutting my hair and forcing me to get this tattoo, and now calling me by the name that reminds me of what you took away from me! -Leah

That wasn't me – Sam

Yes it was! It may not have been your decisions but it was definitely your face, your voice, your body that did those things to me! – Leah

I've lost everything too! First you, then my mom, then Emily and then the house! Oh, don't forget to throw my personality onto the list as well! – Sam

Don't be an ass, you did this to yourself! – Leah

I still love you LeeLee! I've never stopped loving you! It was always there, buried underneath the imprint! I love you! – Sam. He showed a memory of us together, playing in the ocean before he pulled me into kiss him.

Don't you dare! – Leah

I phased out, not wanting to hear another word from him. I walked the rest of the way naked, not even caring. If worst came to worst and someone spotted me, I'd just phase. No one would believe that I turned into a giant dog, they'd just sound certifiably insane. I was lucky though and made it back without being bothered by anyone. As soon as I was in the house, I went straight up to my bedroom and slammed the door behind me. I threw my robe on and flung myself into the bed, burying myself underneath the covers, hoping they would keep me safe from the outside world. I closed my eyes and eventually let the memories of LeeLee and Sammy wash over me.

"Leah?" a voice pulled me from the depths of my dream. I opened my eyes to darkness but could smell it was Seth.

"Hey little bro, what time is it?" I asked, my throat croaking and sore.

"It's midnight. I didn't want to wake you but you gotta patrol" he sounded unhappy about it. I pushed the covers off of myself and sat up on the edge of the bed. Seth was sitting on the end, looking worried.

"I suppose I'd better get out there then-"

"-if you're still tired, I can run it for you?"

"And when did you finish patrol?" I eyed him carefully, looking out for the signs that he was going to tell a lie.

"Just now, but I don't mind taking yours for you. You need to rest" I smiled sadly at my brother. Ever since Sam screwed me over for Emily, he's become my little protector.

"No way bro, you get some food in you and then get some sleep. I feel much better after sleeping for that long anyway" I stood up and pulled a pair of shorts out of my drawers. Seth stood up to leave but hovered in the doorway.

"Uh, Sam is outside" he said in a small voice.

"What? Why can't he just leave me alone?" I whispered to myself but obviously Seth heard me.

"He's been out there all day, just waiting in the treeline as his wolf" he said, before closing the door behind him. I quickly threw my shorts on and a tank top and jumped from my bedroom window. I could see him straight away, although he did try and shirk back into the trees, trying to hide himself.

"What the fuck are you doing Sam?" I walked into the treeline but didn't phase. He phased back and stood in front of me butt naked. He tried to cover himself, but I waved my hand.

"It's nothing I haven't seen and felt before. But you haven't answered my question, what are you doing?"

"I'm done hurting you. I want to be the old Sam again. I want to be your Sammy again-"

"-don't even-"

"-please, just listen! The Sam that's been walking around here this past year wasn't me. It was Emily's Sam. I was vicious and mean and thought I was a God, but that was because Emily wanted me to be that. The imprint wants what the imprint wants, right?-"

"-I don't understand why you're telling me all of this now-"

"-I'm breaking the ties I have with Emily. Next week. I want her gone and out of my life, and I know you'll never forgive me for what I've done and I know you'll never give me a second chance, but I just want you to know that I'm back. That Sam is gone-"

"-what's your point?"

He took a deep breath "Do you think maybe we could try being friends?" His eyes pleaded with me. He stood in a manner of no confidence. He was right about one thing. He wasn't the Sam that Emily had made. But he wasn't my Sammy either. He was just a shell of what Sammy used to be. A lost soul trying to find his purpose again.

"I'll have to think about it" I said quietly, knowing full well I wanted to say yes, but didn't want to rush into rash decisions. I wasn't making that mistake again.

"Thank you LeeLee!" he rushed forward to hug me, but then seemed to remember that he was naked and his hug was not wanted. He pulled his arms back awkwardly and left me alone to patrol.

I huffed and, after remembering to take my clothes off this time, phase into my wolf. I wish this didn't have to be so complicated. Why couldn't I be the girl that forgave him and went back to having what we had? What were the chances of him imprinting again? All I knew is I wasn't taking the risk again. My heart could only take so much rejection.

A/N: So there you have it… a little insight into Leah's mind. There will be more Leah POV's in future chapters, but for now I'm going to focus on Lauren's upcoming party and also Sam's imprint breaking ceremony, which will be coming up soon.

Until then, please enjoy and review! Next update will be Friday!
