*1 year after Breaking Dawn*

Chapter 1: How Much of A Woman can a Beta be?

Mmmm…mmmm…

Would you please stop singing, Leah?

You know what? I'm bored. I have a right to entertain myself.

Well, could entertaining yourself be not so, oh I don't know, irritating!

Shut up, Embry.

Really, could the kid be more annoying?

I heard that.

You wanna a prize?

Ahh, hello sarcastic, bitchy Leah.

I really was getting sick and tired of this. Patrolling all day, patrolling all night. I've been patrolling in my sleep! But Jacob's Alpha, I'm only Beta. But, Hey, I'm not complaining! I'm a mile and a half better off than I was in Sam's pack. As though someone heard my not so happy thoughts, the clouds darkened and the thunder boomed. The rain started to pour down as the lightning flashed.

We felt a shimmer as Jacob phased.

Well, Hello. I said.

Hey, guys. The Cullens just went out to play baseball.

Umm, its storming. Embry said.

Wow, Embry. You're smart. I replied letting it lace with sarcasm. Everyone knows that the leeches only play sports when it's at least thundering. Ok, maybe not everyone but how else would you block out all the noises their super strength makes?

Embry and I stopped in a clearing and waited for Jacob. Soon enough, we saw a russet colored wolf jog out from the trees.

Jake replied. Trust me, they know. Embry, you can go back home now. Leah and I will finish up for tonight. You and Seth can take it tomorrow morning.

Embry's mind raced with excitement. He hasn't been back to La Push in a while but it wasn't like he had an imprint to go back to.

Why are you so excited? Can't wait to see your mommy? I smirked at him.

Shut. Up. and with that he shot away through the forest and we felt him phase out.

Well, I said, lifting my body off the ground, better get started before it gets too late.

I was walking out of the clearing when I realized Jacob hadn't moved from his spot on the forest floor. I turned around.

Umm, Jake?

He looked up at me with his dark chocolate eyes.

How about we take a break tonight?

Wait, what?

A break to do…what? I asked.

I don't know. Sit. Talk. Its about to storm, anyway.

I didn't move from my spot. I just stood there with one eyebrow raised as in to say, "Really?" Jacob noticed this.

Come on, Lee. Take a seat. With a wolfy smirk, he added. I don't bite.

I rolled my eyes. Like you could get close enough to before I kick your ass.

Jake seemed satisfied with my answer because he got up and walked away to phase back. I knew he would come back fast so I let the calming sensation take over my body as I phased and put on my shorts and cami. I took my ankle ribbon and used it to tie my growing hair into a short ponytail.

"Your hair is growing back."

I turned around to see Jacob dressed in his usual cargo shorts/ no shirt attire.

"It looks nice."

Really? What the fuck was with this man today? First, he wanted us to "talk". Now, he's giving me compliments about my hair?

"Did you hit your head?" I asked him.

He walked over to a tree and sat down, resting his back on the trunk.

"Why? Someone can't give their friend a compliment?"

"Well, not if the someone is you and the friend is me." I smiled.

I walked past him to the other side of the tree and rested my back on the trunk also.

"You're real cute, Leah." See? He knew I was joking. Not everyone thinks I'm a complete bitch.

"Thanks. I think I'm cute, too." I turned my head to look back at him and smirked. He did the same. A comfortable silence fell.

"How's Seth?" I heard him ask.

"The same. Annoying, stupid, you get the point."

Jake laughed. "Sue?"

I sighed. "Mad, I guess."

"You guess?"

I crossed my legs to sit Indian-Style. (no pun intended.)

"I don't know. She hasn't talked to me in like a week and she always avoids eye contact with me."

It's true. For the past week, food was always on the table and clothes, etc. were always packed for me and Seth but she was never there. And when she was there, she wouldn't say a word to me and she looked so…sad. She would only talk to Seth like I wasn't even there.

Jacob thought about this for a minute. "Maybe, she's just distraught over something. Doesn't mean she's mad at you."

I let out a breath. "Yeah, maybe. If she was, you know, distraught, then why wont she talk to me about it?"

"Maybe she doesn't want you to know." He shrugged.

"Humph." I said and crossed my arms over my chest.

Jake looked over and fake pouted. "Awe, Lee worried about her mommy?"

"I just hate not knowing things."

There was a short silence then I felt Jake's hand on my arm. I turned to look at him. He was smiling encouragingly.

"I'm sure it's nothing. Maybe she's just worried about you and Seth. I mean, you guys are running around the woods all day and night protecting vampires, none the less."

I smirked at him. "I have no idea why I asked you for 'advice' in the first place." I said using air-quotes.

"I know but I'm pretty good at it, aren't I?"

"Oh yea, I'll be looking for you on TV, Dr. Black."

He stuck his tongue out at me.

After about 5 more minutes of teasing, a mixture of very familiar scents came towards us.

"Sam." We both whispered at the same time.

Suddenly, howls broke through the comfortable silence. They sounded desperate and commanding.

"Shit. This can't be good." I said as I picked myself off the ground and walked beside Jacob. We walked for about 10 minutes until we finally saw the large bodies of Sam's pack. Holy fuck, how many are there now?! It looked like….14. Damn. That was a great factor to weigh if we ever had to fight them. Our petty 5 would get our asses kicked to Canada. We waited as Sam and Paul went to phase and came back as human. Whoa…Sam looked horrible. He looks like he hasn't slept for a week. Well no wonder, with all those puppies look after. Yea, I would probably look like I got frikin mauled by a bear, too. I heard noises in the trees behind me and looked to see Embry, Quil, and Seth behind us. Ahh, they heard the howls. Well, at least, we know there's something that will take Quil from Claire. Hey, don't get me wrong, the girl's really cute and it's adorable when she calls me "Auntie Lewah" but she is Emily's niece.

"Jacob, the Elders want to speak with you."

Oh, Sam was talking? I guessed I've gotten so used to ignoring him. My bad. I should probably pay attention. I mean, I am Beta. Aren't Betas suppose to do that type of thing? They never really had, "Wolf Pack 101" as a class in high school. If they did, we would probably be teaching it.

"The Elders? What for?" Jacob asked.

The Elders? Didn't those old geezers have anything to do other than make our lives living hell? Well, I probably shouldn't say that. I mean, my father used to be one and now my mother is one. But she's a mom; she made my life a living hell before that.

"I can't tell you, Jacob." Sam said.

Bullshit. He can. He just doesn't want to because he wants to make it harder for us. Why? Because he's Sam. He makes everything harder for everybody, especially me. Hell, he made LIFE harder for me!

"There's no reason for them to talk to us. We already solved the whole 'Renesmee' issue." I said to Sam.

"We never said they wanted to talk to you, Leah. We said Jacob." Paul snapped.

Wow, Paul.

I was about to answer with some witty remark until Jacob interrupted me.

"Leah's my Beta. Who I talk to, She talks to."

See, I knew I was making the right decision when I chose to follow him instead of 'Muscles for Brains' over there. I knew it was childish of me but I smirked and stuck my tongue out at Paul. He just rolled his eyes. Whatever.

Sam just looked pissed. Well, when does he not? "We'll take you there." He said coldly as he turned around and walked away with Paul at his side. What the hell? Like we don't know where the elders meet? Hello! We lived there our whole lives! We might of left about a year ago but that doesn't mean we forgot what the hell our hometown looks like! They just love treating us like outcasts. You can tell by their faces that they all think they're better than us. Even the pups. Sam's probably telling them every single horrible thing about us just so they could hate us more.

Jacob and I exchanged looks and looked back at the rest of the pack. They nodded and walked back into the forest to wait for us. By the time, Jacob and I started walking, Sam and his pack were a good distance away and the rain had started to sprinkle.

"Jacob's an idiot to let a woman be his Beta." Sam whispered to Paul.

Paul snorted. "Leah's hardly a woman."

I growled and pushed off to run and rip their heads off but Jacob grabbed my waist and pushed me back.

"Let it go, It's ok. They're just a bunch of jerks. That's not true." He whispered in my ear.

I nodded and took a few calming breaths. That's not fair. Just because I have a vagina, I can't have any authority in a wolf pack. That's the way Sam operates. And yea, Paul's a jackass, I know. But that comment really hurt. They know how my 'womanhood' is a touchy topic for me. Shit, I gave them hell for it when we were in Sam's pack. Just because I turn into a giant wolf, don't wear nice clothes, make-up, or get my period anymore, doesn't make me less of a woman, does it?

Well, I had no idea how much of a woman I was going to be…
