Chapter #1: My Wonderful Life

My dad always told me to follow my dreams, well, if he could see me now…

"And you Jacob Black, do you take Renesmee Carlie Cullen to be your beloved wife…" I spaced out after that.

Who would have thought that I Leah freaking Clearwater, hatter of all the damn leeches in the world would be here, on the first werewolf and half-vampire wedding?! And guess what? MAID OF HONOR!!! You would have thought that had a little bit of self respect; but what can I say?

My best friends are a bunch of vampires with superpowers– HA! That's a new one! I'm the freaking Maid of Honor of Nessie, half-vamp/half-human spawn; the girlfriend... well, she was now the wife of, my oh-so-wonderful-alpha Jacob Black!

If someone had told me 8 or 9 years ago, that I was going to be here, today October 19th 2014, I would have cut that person's head right then and there.

I still remember how it all started…

7 Years Ago

"Jacob, I'm telling you, I don't want to go to your baby girlfriend's party!" I said, seething with anger.

"Aww, come on Lee, you know you want to!" Jacob said teasingly.

"Are you freaking serious?" I said in disbelieve.

He nodded but didn't speak; he knew there was NO WAY IN HELL that I would go to that party. But he was still naïve enough to think that I was going to go! I mean a carnival? My God, the kid was turning 1 and already looked like a 4 year old kid; that's not normal. I can assure you that she was smarter than a Grad student!

They even brought llamas! Freaking llamas! These people were really creeping me out. They were totally crazy! Well, maybe the pack can play with the little pretty llamas. I know Seth would! He still slept with his stuffed elephant "Peanut".

"Jake, are you high or something? Have you finally lost your fucking mind?!" I asked, turning around.

I mean, why should I celebrate some freaking overgrown mutant-hybrid baby's birthday?! I really should get a life. I can't believe it's been a little over a year since I joined Jake's little renegade pack. It's not like I regret it or anything like that; my life had improved significantly since that day. I was finally freed of Sam; but I always felt like something was missing. My life had become a sick routine since the Volturi "Vultures" fiasco.

I wake up in the mornings; eat, run patrol, eat again, listen to Embry complain about his nonexistence love life, Quil swooning over how cute Claire is and about how happy Seth is!

It really just makes me want to puke! Everybody is happy, except ME, Leah Clearwater, "Queen of Iceland", the bitter harpy that was never a good enough woman to have Samuel Uley imprint on her. But I really don't want to go there. That topic was locked down in a safe box, tucked away in the deepest confinements of my mind. It had a large sign, with huge bold letters that read; "DON'T EVER OPEN".

Guess what? Today was not a good day to open it! I plan on being happy, again, someday. I knew that someday, I was going to be happy! Ok, maybe in 100 years from now. But, nah, too soon! Let's make it in at least, 200 years from now.

You see, fate or destiny, never did really liked me. In fact, I think it hates me. Damn, I didn't even have friends. After the Sam fiasco; he left me for my cousin Emily–Yeah, my cousin and Ex-BFF- I lost everything. I lost my friends, my life, even my father and my free will and let's all not forget my FERTILITY! What else could I ask for? –Note the high level of sarcasm there!

"Hey, she-mutt, what are you doing on my garage!" said Blondie's high soprano voice.

Great, I must've spaced out again, while thinking of my beautiful, wonderful and successful life. Yeah, my mom was really proud that I was second in command. Even my mom was happy with good old Charlie in Forks. YES, Bella, the vamp-wannabe and I were sisters. Well, more like soon-to-be-stepsisters. Shit! That meant that I was going to be the spawn's Aunt! What a shocker...NOT!

"Sorry, Blondie, pleaseeee, don't bite me for disturbing your alone time with your precious BMW M3!" I said sarcastically. "I still think that a 4.0 liter V-8 engine it's too much for you" I said nonchalantly, crossing my arms.

"Well, who would have thought, that the puppy with an attitude, knew her way around a masterpieces like this." Rosalie said, pointing towards her car.

"Well, Blondie, first, there are a lot of things that you don't know about me. You're not the only girl with "brains" around here. Secondly, I DON'T HAVE attitude problems." I said a little smugly.

Yeah, right! I didn't have attitude problems! But no one needed to now that…

"WOW, mutt, I'm surprised" she said, as she clapped her hands.

"I think this could be the start of a really interesting relationship." she said, a smirk on her pale and perfect face. "You and I are more alike than you think."

"I think that could be true." I said smirking too.

Present

Since that day my life has been almost perfect. Alice had made me realize my love for shopping. Rosalie gave me a Black Porsche Cayenne Turbo S for my 27th birthday! And guess what? I still look like I'm not a day older than 19! We bonded over a lot of things; cars, shopping and racing. But what truly sealed our friendship, was the fact that neither of us could have children. Who would've thought that, right?

Esme is like my second mother; she's sweet, caring, gentle, an amazing cook and has a freaking awesome ability to remodel/create houses. Did I tell you that the Cullen's gave me a house after Charlie and my mom got married?

Well… they did! My mom moved to Forks and left the reservation. She's still an elder, but couldn't make Charlie move to La Push because that way neither Bella nor Nessie could visit. Nessie could, she's an imprint and because of that, the treaty didn't apply to her. So they built me a cottage-like house. The house had chocolate and white deco and the biggest master bedroom and walk-in closet that I had ever seen! Of course, Alice had to fill it up with trendy and fashionable clothes for me!

Bella and I weren't what you would call BFF. We talked, just to be polite, but that's all. I still think that she's scared of me, after that blow out that happened a few years ago. I mean, aren't vampires supposed to forget all their human memories? Let's just say, that it left a mark.

Anyway, it doesn't matter; she's always cuddling with her vamp/leech mind-reader of a husband. Don't get me wrong, Edward is a great person, I really enjoy our one-way discussions. But I mean, COME ON! He used to watch Bella sleep when she was still human! That's kinda of creepy if you ask me.

And last but not least, Jasper and Emmett; my partners in crime! We were always pulling pranks on Edward or Jacob. It's always been funny. But sometimes, things don't always go according to the plan; like that time we taught Nessie to sing and dance 50 Cents' Candy Shop. We had to hide in my cottage for at least three days!

That was until Rose got dressed in a very un-lady like outfit and promised Emmett, that Edward wouldn't come near us for at least a month. To this day, we don't know what she did, but we're very grateful. Their reunion was something that Jasper and I could've lived without seeing. After that, Jacob had me patrolling for 48 hours straight, the bastard! Since then, we'd never used Nessie for our pranks again.

Nessie and I became friends on her 6th birthday. It was more like a "Sweet Sixteen" party. Edward even gave her a Light Blue Alfa Romeo 8c Competizione, which was a sick ride! But that's not what made us become friends. See, Nessie began to have feelings for Jacob, but the dickhead, refused to acknowledge her because she was still a "child".

So, I decided to become and play matchmaker! It only took me a month, 5 new pairs of heels, 3 miniskirts, 2 of the shortest little black dresses I've ever seen and a black bikini, to make him realize that she wasn't a little girl anymore. Edward wasn't too thrill, it did make his little girl happy; thus, he was happy.

Of course, if it wasn't for Bella, I don't think that my plan would have worked. If it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have been able to put my plan to work. Thanks to my hard work, Nessie is marrying the man she loves and he loves her back. They're going to be happy for an eternity.

Sometimes, I wonder and dream of how my life with Sam could've been. Emily would have been my maid of honor, my father would've been alive to walk me down the aisle and I would have had 3 beautiful children. But that life wasn't for me. It didn't belong to me, it never did! It was Emily's destiny not mine.

"Leah, Leah, you can give me my bouquet now." Nessie said, tears of happiness, moistening her chocolate brown eyes and a radiant smile that lit up the entire room, on her lips.

"Oh, my god, Nessie, you're married!" I shrieked excitedly, hugging her with all my strength, as tears fell down my own face and onto my lilac dress.

She hugged me back just as tight; after a few seconds that felt like hours I released her. I gently kissed her forehead, and smiled while giving her the white rose bouquet.

"You look beautiful Ness, I'm so happy for you!"

She thanked me and grabbed Jacob's hand. They had a wide smile on their faces, for a second, I thought that their faces were going to crack.

After a while of just staring at them, I felt a hand on my lower back, it was Embry. I could smell his scent; he gave me a sad smile and together walked down through the church. We got in to the limos that were waiting for us to take us the reception that was being held at the Cullen Mansion.

Embry was really a good friend, after a while we became friends. He understood me and I understood him. I think that we were both afraid of imprinting. I mean, I know I would never imprint, but he would someday.

When we arrived everything was ready. Wow, Alice really outdid herself this time!

The patio of the house was beautifully adorned; all the surrounding trees were decorated with millions of fairy lights. In the center was a wooden dance floor, covered with a large white tent. Jake and Nessie were already dancing their first song officially as a married couple. Others were already seated. There were so many vamps, that I couldn't count them.

Zafrina was with Senna, Kachiri was with Nahuel and his aunt, Peter and Charlotte, the Denali coven, plus Garrett, Tia and Benjamin, Siobhan and Liam with Maggie. Of course, every member of the pack had gathered around the food table. There was so much fucking food, every type that you could think of; Chinese, Indian, Arabian, Japanese, Italian, you name it! For a vamp that doesn't eat, Alice really had a great taste in food… HA! We only needed blood cupcakes and we could start our own food sale for every species on the planet!

After a while everybody was dancing. I danced with Seth. He'd gotten a lot taller; almost as tall as Jake. He wasn't the same lanky boy that had a hard time coordinating the movement of his long legs and would trip often. No, he was a handsome young man. I know that if my father was alive, he would've been so proud of him.

"Are you alright Lee? You look out of it…" Seth said worriedly.

"Oh, I'm fine, bro, I was just remembering how clumsy you were after you phased and had your first growth spurt." I said smirking.

"Well, I'm not a kid anymore." He said, while spinning me around the dance floor, looking very proud of himself.

Wait, when did Seth learn to dance? "Wow, Seth, who taught you how to dance like that?" I asked stunned.

He smirked. "That's simple, Angie!" he said, smiling like an idiot.

Angie was my brother's imprint; she was a nice girl. She was a 22 years old, transfer student from Ireland. They met at the same college that my little brother went. She had red, curly long hair and stunning bright green eyes. Angie made Seth really happy; which in return made me happy.

"I'm happy for you, lil' bro!" I said, giving him a hug.

"Hey, who are you calling little?" he said, looking down at me, a smirk on his face. The smile didn't last long. Seth stared at me with a serious, solemn expression.

"Thanks, sis that means a lot to me. I know you will find your imprint soon enough." he said smiling at me.

I loved Seth's smile, it reminded me so much of my father's. It was so similar; it made me feel, like my dad was still here with me.

"Don't hold your breath on that little brother" I said, snorting. "Besides, who told you I wanted to imprint?" I asked smirking.

He was shocked, well that was an understatement. "Why wouldn't you want to imprint, Leah? Imprinting is the most amazing thing that can happen to a wolf." he said, with a glazed look on his hazel eyes.

"I don't want to imprint. Imprinting is what ruined my life; it made me what I'm today! If I imprint, I'm going to prove to everyone that Leah Clearwater can make her own damn decisions!" I said confidently.

"Whatever you say Sis. Let's just see when it happens. Let's see how long you will last before giving in." he said smugly. The bastard! I'm going to show him!

"You want to bet on that, little brother?" I teased.

"Ok, sure, what do I get if I win?" he said with a raised eyebrow.

"I'll pay for your school and Angie's!" I said.

"No, you know the Cullens already paid for it" he answered.

Then the light bulb in his brain went off! "You have to let us put a dress on you, when you're in your wolf form! You also have to let both packs see you goofing around and you've to have let Rosie take a picture!" he said, a wide smile spread across his face.

"Fine, but if I win; which I'm going to… You have to wear a dress in your human form, with heels for a week. I don't care if you're in school." I said, laughing just with the mental imagines of him dressed in a dress, in my head. His eyes opened wide, but then he collected himself.

"Ok, you got it Sis. I know you'll give in, just wait." We spat on our hands and shook them, to seal our deal and continued dancing.

*****

After the cheers, dinner, speeches, garter toss (which Seth caught, he and Angie were red as tomatoes), bouquet toss (which Claire caught, Quil remains inexpressive) and when all the annoying mushy stuff ended; Nessie and Jake left for their honeymoon in Atlantis, The Bahamas. Ness always wanted to visit the Bahamas, but living with vamps made the task difficult for her. Afterwards, people started to say their goodbyes and leave. Soon it was just the original and the renegade pack that remained at the Cullen Mansion.

Sam and his family approached me: Emily, their three children, Joshua who was 6, Bree who was 3 and Marcus who was 2. They were all beautiful with russet skin, black straight, silky hair and almond shaped dark brown eyes.

Sam had stopped phasing a year ago, to grow old with Emily. Later Jared became the alpha of the pack, because Paul also decided to stop phasing, since Rachel was slightly older than him and he wanted to age with her. I still felt uncomfortable and hurt, whenever I saw Sam. Especially, when he looked so happy and content with his lovely family! They looked like they had the perfect life. It was the life that was supposed to be mine; if all the werewolf drama hadn't entered our lives. They said their goodbyes and quickly left.

Then, Paul and Rachel with their five year old children, the "Walker Twins", as we like to call them; Chace and Lance, came to said goodbye. The twins were the most handsome little boys that I've ever seen. They had dark brown hair, just like Paul and the same mesmerizing gray eyes as Rach, their mother. They were inseparable and adored, Jared and Kim's twins.

After Jared and Kim got married and became Mr. and Mrs. Hyatt, they had a boy named Zachery. He was now seven and was Joshua's best friend. Later, Jared and Kim, had twin little girls; Lily and Sammy, whom were four years old. All their children had light russet skin, light caramel brown hair and honey colored eyes.

After them, came Collin and Jess, his imprint, followed by Brady and Eli.
Jess was 19 years old and had light blond hair with blue eyes. Eli was also 19 years old and had dirty blond hair, with green eyes. They were both best friends and met Collin and Brady on a school bonfire and immediately fell in love.

Life was sad! Every wolf in La Push, except Embry and me, had imprinted. Embry didn't care, he said he was happy that he could have every woman he wanted. But, I knew better, he wanted a love that would last forever. Of course I didn't care; it's a mental program I've created. I'm never going to love anybody again in my life.

Gosh, even the younger wolves that phased during the Volturi fiasco had imprinted! They kept to themselves and just patrolled when needed. They were in college; Kane, Ruly, Kevin, Will, Aden, Victor and Jhon could be with their imprints all the time. They really deserved it, because they were just 11 when they phased for the first time. Everybody at school thought they were freaks or something. I mean why an eleven years old would be hanging around with 20 year old dropout jocks.

So by this I'm saying… Imprinting is not freaking rare it's just fucking rare if you don't imprint. Life sucks and then you die, but in my case I don't even get to die. Nooo, I get to be miserable for eternity! Yay!

"Don't worry, Leah. Someday you'll find someone and if you don't you can always be our pet you don't smell so bad now." Edward said, smirking while he was getting the chair all together.

"Pfft, too bad that I can't say the same about the odor Eddieeeeee. Cause you still stink." I said, while turning around to leave. Ha! Take that bloodsucker, he hates when I call him Eddie. Well, he had it coming; I don't need anybody's pity.

"It's not pity, Leah!" Edward shouted. "Your mind is just depressing and we only want to see you happy!" Ahh, sweet words Eddie, but I'm fine.

"Whatever, Leah! Whatever!" Edward said.

When everything was set and organized, ready to be picked up by the catering company the following morning, everyone left. Embry went to his house. Quil went to take Claire to her house; since she was only allowed to come, because she was the flower girl. She's 11 years old and in five more years, Quil would be able to tell her everything. Poor guy! I really pity him.

"Well at least he has someone…" said that little voice in my head. Shut it! I don't need anyone! After a little bit of arguing with myself, I decided to go home. I took a bath, changed into my boy shorts and sports bra, dried my beautiful long black hair and went to bed. I didn't know why, but I felt like tomorrow my life was never going to be the same. Something was going to change! I didn't know if it was going to be for the best or for the worst. I ignored it and allowed myself to a hopefully dreamless sleep…
