Eywa's Gifted Love

Chapter 29

"Eau de wolf, comin' up," Jacob joked. Neige jumped on Matteo's back, kissing his cheek. "Run," Edward said as Jacob, Seth, Rajah ran. "Clench up, Legolos!" I yelled as they all laughed.

Seth ran through the trees carrying me, not superhuman speed, but fast, and not breaking a sweat. Some time has passed and he set me down.

They start to walk, circling back slowly toward their distant starting point.

Neige was still on Rajah's back, walking behind us, talking with each other. "What about me? Will I join you during the battle?" Seth asked me.

"Of course I care, you'll be staying with us during the battle," I told him. "I won't have a choice anyways," Seth sighed.

"Since Jacob let Sam be alpha male. I got to live with the shots he calls." "Since Jacob let Sam be alpha?" I asked. "Why?" "He didn't want to be in a pack, let alone be their leader," Seth replied.

"Wow. Chief Jacob," I joked.

"Opted out. But every choice has it's consequences," Seth looked down. "Some more than others." "I know, but there are time where we can't help it," I answered.

"I understand," Seth sighed. "I really want to find my imprint." "Well... I'm not a wolf, I can't imprint," I sighed. "But I can mate, just not like vampires"

"It has nothing to do with imprinting. It has to do with...," Seth asked.

"Feeling something for somebody. And I know you don't feel something for me. I can sense how I make you feel... emotionally. I make you feel protective of me. You're like an older, more annoying sister to me." Seth pulled me closer, indeed, making me smile.

"Seth," I asked. "Promise me that you won't change yourself when you become a vampire," Seth asked.

"I promise," I said as I cross my heart. "Cross my heart and hope to die." He smiled at me. "What about that person, Neige?" I asked. Seth looked up at me, suspiciously.

"What about them?" He asked, confused.

"I saw the way you looked at him. You like them" I say, as Seth blushed. "You do like him!"

"SHH!" He shushed me as he looked back at them, Neige smiled as he waved. "Okay, I like him... but" he looked slightly sad.

"What happened?" I asked. He signed.

"We used to date way before Rajah and I shifted and before I came out" I nodded. "We were together for a year before I broke up with him after I shifted," he tells me.

"Why?" I asked, glancing back at them.

"Rajah imprinted him, which I'm ok with. There are no hard feelings" he tells me. "We decided to stay friends. I do still have feelings for them, but I've gotten over them. Not fully"

He confessed. I hugged him tightly.

"I'm sure you'll have someone Seth" I tell him. "I hope so," Seth says as we walk.

Edward and Jasper stood as Ella and Ley'ra jogs out of the woods. "All I picked up was wolf stench. No Bella. No Marali. This will work," Ella told her brothers.

"If they take the path now, we can do it," Ley'ra  answered. "Great," Jasper agreed.

Bella and I climbed from her truck just as Ella, Ley'ra, Angela, and Alice exited the house with Charlie, Mom, and Dad. Them laugh, enjoying one another.
