Prelude

WE THOUGHT THAT WE WOULD BE FINALLY AT PEACE AND LIVE HAPPY EVER AFTER--Then he showed up--Everything held sacred he tore apart and nothing could control him. This monster is the embodiment of chaos and brutality who was bred and created for one sole purpose. I have to warn them!

Alice suddenly snapped out of her trance like state shivering and gasping for breath like she had been fell through thin ice in a frozen lake. She was surrounded by a couple of her family members with others away on errands. She had a death grip on Edward's arm with Carlisle and Esme sitting across from them concerned. "Did you have another vision of the Volturi?" asked Carlisle.

There was a great pause before Edward interjected. "We fought them to a stalemate, but...the Collaborative played their trump card. I don't recognize whatever it was, but it destroys half of La Push from just the transformation alone"

Bella entered the room with a smartphone in her hand. "What's the Collaborative?" she asked with intrigue as she sat down beside Edward.

"Not much is known about them other than they are a group of gifted humans and supernatural beings. They formed in response to the killings from Victoria's army. There have been rumors going around that there are Children of the moon among their ranks perhaps as far as running the entire organization, but this new development is most concerning" Carlisle explained.

"Whoa, so what happened after this thing transformed?"

Alice winced to Bella's question and clenched her fists with a troubled look. "It went on a rampage and nearly killed everyone. Nothing could stop it" Alice told her.

"What if we go away for a while? Will the Collaborative still attack?"

"Bella...they are going to attack whether we are there or not. Vladimir and Stefan are the reasons why the Collaborative brought that thing into La Push in the first place" She said before she spaced out briefly. "On second thought...If we go away...the Volturi will send fewer guards. In fact, the collaborative wouldn't need their monster to transform. He's able to hold his own against Felix. Though, he's a dirty fighter" she added.

"Then it's decided...we'll go on vacation to Hobart a few weeks and come back once this has blown over" Carlisle said.

"Ooh! Tasmania! Haven't been there for a while" said Esme.

"Man, I should warn Jacob about this thing...what does it looked like?" Bella asked as she started typing into her phone.

Edward grabbed her arm and shook his head at her staring into her eyes intensely. "Don't! They will try to fight it...you'll only lead them to be slaughtered! Trust me, if seen what this thing can do. It has been tormenting Alice and my mind for weeks. It knows we can see it and...I just don't want to see anymore mangled corpses" he said with a heavy heart.

Bella stared at him realizing the gravity of the situation, and she began to delete her text. "What do you mean it knows we can see it? You mean it's intentionally going out of its way doing these horrible things just to attack you!?"

"Why haven't you told us about this?" Carlisle asked.

"My visions never went this far into the battle. It's just often times I pick up on future mental attacks from this monster. I never know when they come and what sort of twisted imagery it comes up with next. I can't tell if it's real or it's being imagined" Alice explained before Edward grimaced.

"Even though the attacks are brief, it's done it so much that they are hitting Alice nonstop. They aren't random images...they are personal. This thing makes Jane and Alec look like saints" He finished.

"Jesus, I've been wondering why you two have been having these mood swings all of the sudden" Bella muttered.

"How personal are these attacks?" Esme asked.

"A lot involve Charlie, but there are other imagery where I don't understand what they are referring to" she said before she pulled out a notepad from the coffee table and began to draw something. "I see this image a lot. It's like a wolf head combined with a pentagram with a circle around it" she said turning the picture towards them. Carlisle's eyes widened horrified as he took the picture staring at it.

"This is the mark of the Cult of Fenrisúlfr, The wolf of hell. I've only came across this once back when I was human. They are not the typical Children of the Moon. They do similar tactics as the Volturi when it comes to recruiting. I came across one who could summon hellhounds. Luckily for me their incantation was slow enough for me to escape. They supposedly disappeared three hundred fifty years ago" he muttered before he looked back up at them. "Drawing this mark is punishable by death. You aren't allowed to even speak of the Cult of Fenrisúlfr" He said before he started scribbling out the mark.

"So this thing is like the swastika symbol for vampires?" Bella asked.

"In all tense and purposes, yes, that's exactly what it is" Carlisle answered before he wove his fingers together and brought them up to his face. "We have to find out if the Cult of Fenrisúlfr is still around what their agenda is, but it seems to me whoever it is knows or will find out about Edward and Alice's gifts and turned them into curses. I want to find strategies to face this foe, but I don't want to subject you two to any more attacks than you have to" he muttered.

"It's not going to matter...He'll find someone else to torture. Just imagine what attacks he can do to Jacob and Sam?" Edward said.

"Holy Crow! It's like he's pulling a Leah!" Bella joked.

"You think?" Edward muttered.

1. Leah's Happy Accident

In the quiet little logging town of Forks, Washington it were an unusually sunny day for being the beginning of spring. A cool unusually strong dry east wind came off the mountains all night and into the morning keeping the marine clouds well offshore. All the townsfolk were out and about utilizing the first actual nice day in a couple months. Since town was several miles away from La Push, it was very common for the residents to visit the town for shopping and other services; however, something else came in with the wind, something...different.

A strong scent akin to that of the Quileute shapeshifters wafted in the breeze; however, there were several differences, which a major one was it had faint metallic tinge to it. It piled on the minds of our young wolf pack as they rode on the bed of a black 1985 GMC pickup truck. Their original mission was to acquire supplies for a big bonfire party on the beach for later in the week; although, it were obvious to everyone that they must investigate the origin of the earthy odor.

As they pulled into the Thriftway parking lot, a well-built slightly taller than average height backpacker in his mid-twenties walked across the parking lot with his hands shoved into the pockets of his green cargo short pockets. The smell appeared to emanate from him, and he seemed more vigilant than the usual person, other than that there was nothing much of interest about him.

Leah was too busy with playing a game on her phone to pay any sort of attention until Jacob rudely interrupted her concentration. "I found him!" he said telepathically.

She slowly glanced up at him slightly irritated. "Oh really? Thanks for the update!" she muttered sarcastically. She rolled her eyes and stowed her phone into her pocket as Jacob slowly pulled into a spot.

Seth glanced over at her and with a bright cheerful smile. "Don't you wanna find out about what this guy is?"

She looked towards her brother with an intense leer causing him to retreat back into the corner of the cab in fear of his life. "Tch, if he isn't a blood sucker, I could care less" she spoke harshly before she jumped out. She popped her ear buds into her ears defiantly then she ran her playlist on her phone playing break up songs. She hoped that it would drown out the talk about her being 'increasingly bitchy since Sam's wedding'. The music could only do so much to prevent her from spontaneously shifting into her wolf form and tearing them a new rear hole.

She grumbled unintelligibly as she frightened an elderly couple while she yanked the cart with so much force sparks flew off from where it rubbed off from each other upon separation. The rest of her pack kept a lengthy distance while they continued to walk on eggs shells with her. No one in the store had a clue about the amount of danger they were in as she roamed the aisles with her wound up so tight that one touch would set of a catastrophic snap.

"Should we stop her?" Seth asked.

"Do you want to stop her?" Jacob responded.

He stared at him helplessly before he whimpered. "No, I'm good" he said meekly.

As they walked around the grocery store, they kept their eye out for the young man they spotted from earlier. Seth started to grow very curious about him recalling that the man had darker skin tone, which he leaned in close to Jacob and whispered to him, "Hey, Could other tribes have different variation of shapeshifters like us?"

"I don't know. It could be possible" Jacob whispered back.

They were both startled when the chain reaction they all feared initiated, with the sound of head-on collision of a horrific car accident, Leah's cart struck the broadside of backpacker's causing it to fling to the side violently. The backpacker amazingly kept it from flying clear into the produce section and automatically assumed he was at fault. "Oop, sorry about that!" he said modestly.

To her packs' chagrin, Leah began to stare at him transfixed for a several seconds feeling a pull and gravitation towards him. She soaked in his manly jawline and other handsome facial features. He only noticed after he checked the merchandise in his cart for damages. He looked up at her awkwardly and clearly weirded out as he took a step back awkwardly averting her stare briefly. "Uh, are you alright?" he asked.

He looked over towards her pack, which their mouths hung open while Embry slapped himself in the forehead. "Is she going to be okay?" he asked them before he got creeped out and pushed his cart away with urgency.

"You gotta be kidding me...this couldn't have waited until we knew what the hell he is first!?" Jacob muttered while rubbing his forehead vigorously.

Seth looked back at him confused. "What's the problem? He's not a vamp" he asked.

"We don't know if he's dangerous or not?"

"That poor man" Embry murmured.

Jacob glared at him before he watched the backpacker walk up to the cashier, he started loading up the conveyor with food and other goods. The cashier was eyeing him with interest. "You aren't from around here are you? Where you from?" she asked.

He looked up at her and paused a moment tapping the counter as he looked around for Leah. "Uh..." he stalled trying to think of a proper response. "Fife?" he said more as a question unsure if she would accept that as an answer.

The cashier raised an eyebrow. "Yea? What brings you out here all the way from Fife?" she asked. The man paused once more and his eye squinted watching her closely, but he could hear Leah growling nearby. "I got bored" he said. She mistook his honesty for a joke and laughed. "Are you camping?" she asked.

The man sighed in relief and nodded. "I camp all the time" he said as he began shoving his goods into his back pack, which the she looked at him oddly. He looked over at Jacob and Seth who were still staring at him, which he backed up only to bump into Leah again who seemed to be giving the death glare at the cashier. She had abandoned her cart and seemed to be ready to pick a fight with her. His eye twitched as he raised his hands up in the air defensively. "Look, I gotta go!" he said nervously as he pointed towards the door.

The man grabbed his bag and rushed out of the grocery store with a backpack fit to burst. "Hey, Wait!" Leah shouted as she took off after him. Jacob grabbed onto Seth's sleeve preventing him from chasing after sister knowing she would chase down this guy to the ends of the earth. She was the fastest of their pack after all.

"Well that could have gone worse" Embry commented taking control over her cart.

"Who knew that relationships were this guy's biggest fear?" Quil added.

"He could be luring her into a trap for all we know" Jacob suggested.

"I think Leah's going to trap him, and the she's going to put a ring on him"

"That poor man" Embry finished.

"You don't think he's going to eat her do you?" Seth asked. Embry and Quil looked at him oddly and started to snicker at him. "What!? Why's that funny?"

Meanwhile outside, the man ran on a gravel logging road that entered the forest. A raven swooped in and landed on his shoulder. "Hey! Hey! La Push is the other way! Why are you running from that woman!?" the bird shouted sounding like that of a woman's.

"Our mission is compromised! I think one of the Quileute wolves imprinted on me!"

The bird started to chuckle then burst out with an obnoxious laughter. "Heh, heh, Boy, I've never seen you run so quick in my life" she teased him.

"It's not funny!"

"It's hilarious! Just wait til mom finds out!"

"Find out about what?" Said another raven.

"Guess what! Fen's got a girlfriend!" the sister raven said.

He glared at the raven on his shoulder and growled at her. "Shut up! I don't have a girlfriend!"

"Oh yea? I bet you imprinted on her didn't you?" the sister raven said.

He growled at her and you don't know what the fuck you're talking about!" he shouted.

"Yea I do! I know you had the talk with gramps before you became of age. Don't try to hide it" She teased.

"Why don't you give it a try hun" said the mother raven as she landed onto his other shoulder. "We can use this to our advantage. Besides that...you aren't going to lose her. She's very fast" she said.

"How can this possibly benefit us?" he grumbled slowing down.

"If she has imprinted on you, then the Quileute wolves will be more likely to trust us and become our allies. Also, I think it's time you settle down and spread your roots. She'll make you a good wife" the mother raven said.

He stopped at a gate and groaned. "Well can you at least make Tami shut up about it!"

"Don't worry about Tami and just be nice to the shewolf" the mother raven said jumping off his shoulder.

"Yea, don't be an ass like usual!" Tami said following her mother into a tree. He growled lowly sensing Leah behind him knowing she probably overheard their conversation.

She watched him from afar then approached him nervously. He looked up at her awkwardly as she looked towards the ravens in the tree briefly. "You aren't following me by any chance are you?" he asked. He already knew the answer to this and closed his eyes leaning against the gate that entered the logging road.

"Who were you talking to?" She asked continuing to look up at the two ravens.

"Caw, Caw, Caw!" they both called out trying to blend in.

"I could have sworn you were talking to two women" She muttered.

"Um, no...it was probably my phone" he said dismissively before he crossed his arms over his chest. "So what's this imprinting thing your friends were hollering about back there?" he asked.

She looked back over at him and smiled while she tucked her hair behind her ear and batted her eyes at him. "Well...it's uh...something our kind experiences when we find our...soul mate" she said.

He opened his eyes and laughed to himself nervously seeing that she got within a very intimate distance from him. She did not touch him as her hands were held behind her back smiling upon him, but he could smell her pheromones. He ditched the intimidated act and his true personality came out.

"Okay, It's nice that you know whom you want to have pups with, but we just met so..." he said before he cleared his throat. "You know what, let's back up. Hi, my name is Fen. Nice to meet you, and you are?" he asked.

A red hue crept under her cheeks, but she regained her composure. "Pups huh? Interesting choice of words there, Fen" she said. He laughed nervously before she reached out to touch his arm. Their heated touch only reaffirmed their suspicions of supernatural nature of the other. "My name is Leah. I know you were talking to those crows over there"

"I was talking to my mom and sister" he corrected her.

"Oh..." She muttered before she walked around him and inspected every square inch of his body. "So...are you a wolf too? You have to be if your skin is that hot" she asked. He was startled to her question, but after he looked around, he nodded slowly. "Well that's good at least. But, you're so short. Hard to believe you're the real deal"

He feigned a cough before clearing his throat once more. "I'm a kind of wolf...Luckily for you...I just so happen to be seeking for a mate also"

She cocked her head and touched his arm again double checking his body temperature, but also the firmness and size of his muscle. "Too weird" she muttered before she looked up at him.

"Well, we're having a Bonfire Party Friday night. I would like for you to come. There will be a huge banquet"

He brought his hand to his chin to scratch at his stubble. "Hmmm...I've never said no to food before, so why start now?" he muttered.

She giggled to herself rubbing his arm. "Yea, you're definitely a wolf" she said before she trailed her finger over his chest. "So, does the Puyallup tribe have a lot of wolves like you?"

"Uh like me?" He muttered nervously as she traced his pectorals. "Well, not a lot but..." he trailed off hearing her murring with a satisfied smile.

"Wanna go for a run?"

"Can't. I got my gear weighing me down. Don't wanna ruin it either"

She giggled and bumped into him roughly. "Oh don't worry! You can ride on top of me!" She said before she started to undress herself.

He gave her a funny look as his mind was clearly still stuck in the gutter. "Um...Excuse me?" He desperately tried to clarify with her about her intentions. "But we just met! I think it's great that we're both wolves too in all, but I'd like to know a little more about a female before I ride her or she rides me"

She blushed and shook her head before she walked past him. "That was not what I meant, silly...but I might take you up on your offer and ride you sometime" she said giving him a wink while dropping her clothes to the ground before she shifted into a giant wolf.

He scratched at the back of his neck before he laughed nervously feeling guilty for his presumptions. "Honestly...what am I supposed to think when a pretty woman asks me to ride her before she undresses?" he said as he pulled out a plastic bag from his backpack and tossed her clothes into it.

He checked her out from behind finding her figure very appealing. She caught him looking, and a faint smile curled upon her muzzle. He smiled pretending not to look as he stuffed her clothes into his bag before he tied her shoes into the netting on the back. He climbed onto her back unfazed with her being a giant white wolf; although, she noticed that either he weighed a ton or he had nothing but bricks in his backpack.

2. ** The Spirit Warriors**

Even though her opportunity to show off her speed became severely hampered, but she tried to take him to her special spot as quickly as she could regardless of the extra weight. "Just what the heck was in that backpack of his?" she thought as she leaped over rivers, streams, and gullies, and she wove around trees, snags, and rocky outcroppings. She stopped in a patch of old growth forest where stood a moss covered stump whose base was the diameter of a small school bus. Ferns and Fiddleheads poked up from the center of the stump. The giant log lay across a fissure where it provided shelter from the elements and maybe a romantic hideaway for two wolves to be alone.

Fen jumped off onto the stump where he pulled out her clothes and shoes handling them back to her after she reverted to human form. He looked around the mossy landscape and listened to the air rustling through the trees and the roaring of the waves off in the distance.

After he gave her clothes back, and she got dressed, she sat next to him on the stump and "So what really brings you out here? I doubt you came here to do some sightseeing"

He did not try to hide his interest in her knowing that the jig was up. "Well, a couple years back, there was like this huge swarm of newborns that came into my turf. I was only able to kill five of them before they scattered like cockroaches. The Elders are convinced that something big is going on and they have ordered me to come out here as back-up just incase"

She frowned and nodded. "Yea, we have a few run-ins with newborns around here. We had a heck of a time dealing with them" she muttered before she smiled. "So just how big is your pack? It must be super huge to scare off newborns"

He gave her a funny look, and he immediately had a coughing fit while muttering "One" in the middle.

She cocked her head cutely not sure if she was hearing things or not. "What was that? Are my ears playing tricks or did I really just hear you say just one?" she asked.

He nodded slowly before she stared at him in utter disbelief. He shrugged his shoulders not finding it to be a big deal. "I never said I had a pack did I? Though, I am not against starting one" he said while mumbling the last sentence to himself.

Her jaw hung open not sure what do think of it all. "Wow! You got to show us your strength now! I'm calling your bluff, mister!"

"Uh, Okay? If you're into that sort of thing then"

She gave him a tap of the fist into his shoulder getting a good laugh. Jacob kept pushing her to focus back on extracting more information from him. She did not like being used, nor did she like having them listen in on her budding relationship with Fen. "Do you fight vampires often?" She asked.

"Meh, only when they give me a problem. Trust me, when they start going on a biting spree, then it gives me a problem. I don't like townsfolk getting all paranoid and uptight. You know? They just become quickly irrational and form mobs just as fast. I like the slow easy life. Anything that interrupts my sanctity will have a whole world of hurt to pay. It'll cost more than an arm and a leg if you catch my drift"

"Hmm...well, I don't like them at all. Their presence made me a freak like I am today" She said as she placed her hand over her heart.

He looked at her strangely and caught up with her. "Uh, you care explaining that to me? All of it? You smell more of a wolf than a bat"

She winced and looked up at him hurt. "You see...the magic I inherited from my ancestors came out of hiding once vampires encroached upon our lands. I'm the first ever female werewolf here, and my life has been miserable ever since. I'm afraid I won't be able to bear children because of it"

"Hold on...If you are the first, how can you be certain that you won't be able to bear children?"

She looked towards the ground and gritted her teeth nervously. "My menstrual cycle stopped the first day I phased"

"Oh? So you've started your estrous cycle then?"

Her head snapped back up at him and her eyes widened in mortification. "My what!?"

He coughed awkwardly and squirmed about the details as he was not an expert on female werewolf reproduction systems. "You know? Instead of having your time of the month it becomes more of...a time of the year?"

She scowled at him. "I haven't bled in a couple years, genius!"

"Hey, I'm not a vet okay? All I'm staying is that it will happen...not like you magically change from one cycle to the next. There has to be like some amount of time for it to adjust" he said.

She looked at a rabbit hopping along without a care. "I guess...As long as I can have my own family I suppose being a wolf won't be that bad..." she said before she leaned up against him. "You know...I had a feeling my mate was going to be a wolf also. I can't see a human being durable for my needs"

"Heh heh, Well, I'm plenty durable. Just don't be surprised when you start having litters. I won't have any problem with sating your needs" he said before he caught her blushing. "You aren't a freak to me. To me, you are a beautiful, attractive, very fertile shewolf" He said with confidence.

She looked up at him and sighed peacefully feeling that her life was getting back on track. She got lost in his scent getting a feel for his lifestyle. He was clean, but he smelled of stream water. His musk had a soothing comforting effect on her, and she lightly dozed off listening to the strong rhythm of his heart. "Mmm, Don't give me too many" she said.

He closed his eyes taking the opportunity to meditate, but he would periodically open an eye to check his surroundings. He saw movement from afar and stared at it taking in a big whiff through his nose. He frowned and followed their moments before they disappeared deeper into the woods.

"Well, aren't you going to introduce her to us?" a woman's voice echoed through Leah's head.

She flinched and woke up looking around trying to locate this person. She clutched onto him hearing the woman's voice echo through the trees. She was everywhere but there were no scent. "Fen, Did you hear that? Am I going crazy?"

"That's my grandmother's voice"

She looked over at him in disbelief. "And what is your grandmother exactly?"

"I believe she's a raccoon today"

"What? Why are you talking in riddles" She mumbled.

"I'm right in front of you" the woman's voice said.

She looked over at a grey squirrel on its hind legs staring at them chewing on a filbert. There was no other creature around, and then it waved at them. She thought it was just a coincidence before approached them. "You found me" the squirrel said.

"Fen...that squirrel just talked!"

"No freaking way!" Her pack mates voices echoed in her head.

"Oh, you're a squirrel today?" Fen mumbled unsurprised.

"Your grandmother wouldn't happen to be a Spirit warrior is she?" Leah asked.

"Why yes! As a matter of fact, I am, quite a powerful one at that" The squirrel boasted before she pointed at Fen. "As a direct descendant of Kaheleha, He's not half bad either even for having something else to control constantly"

"Grandma!" He growled at her.

Leah looked at him suspiciously. "Something else to control? What do you mean by that? Controlling your wolf form shouldn't be all that difficult should it?" she asked.

"Wolf form? Oh, dear no. More like he is a wolf in human skin that gets loose a couple times a month. Though he has a knack for setting the wolf loose intentionally on occasion. We're always trying to keep him on a tight leash one way or another" The squirrel said.

"I see...so he's that kind of wolf" Leah muttered coldly.

"What did she mean by set it loose intentionally?" Seth asked.

The squirrel snickered and crawled up onto Fen's shoulder. "I think you know what I mean Seth"

Leah was caught off guard, and Fen looked at them confused. "Who's Seth?"

"He's my brother" Leah told him before her eyes widened. "You mean you can hear them?"

"Of course I can...All of you. Why do you act so surprised. Haven't you remembered the Quileute tales?" She answered.

"If you can hear me, then answer me this! You're here to make sure he doesn't lose control, aren't you!? What will happen if you aren't here and he does lose control?" Jacob raised his voice.

"Settle down there Jacob. That's not why I'm here. I'm here to give him my eyes and ears. For your information, there are many spirit warriors who have poured all their faith into my grandson and they will lean him their strength. I am offended that you would suggest that he wouldn't have any semblance of control...however...I wasn't expecting one of your own to imprint on him though. This is exciting and most fortunate. If you're willing to cooperate, I will tell you what Taha Aki told me" she replied.

"Okay, hold on. Did I miss something? Who is this woman and why are you all of the sudden talking about Taha Aki?" Sam's voice boomed joining in on the conversation.

"Apparently this woman is a spirit warrior, and Taha Aki sent her werewolf grandson over to help us in some battle" Jacob replied.

"Wait...when you say werewolf...do you mean like us or one that the Cullens and the Volturi are afraid of?"

"The last one"

"I was wondering why the Cullens took off so quickly"

"Yea...he has to be the real thing if that's the case"

"I have to go, my husband is due to come back! We'll continue this later!" His grandmother shouted. The squirrel on his shoulder reverted to its feral state and jumped off from his shoulder running up a tree in distress.

"Fen, do you know what's going on?" Leah asked him while she placed her hand over his.

"La Push is going to be attacked. Those parasites see you as a threat, and they are going to bring their best to exterminate you and anyone else who could pass down shapeshifting abilities" he explained.

"So in other words, they are going to kill our entire tribe" Jacob said.

"What?" Leah and her pack all shrieked.

"Is this guy strong?" Sam asked.

"I have no idea how strong he is, but he's quick...even in human form" Leah answered.

The two ravens from earlier landed in front of them and looked at them closely. "Oh, don't worry...he's very strong. With us, we'll make him invincible" Tami said. Fen rolled his eyes at them and growled lowly.

"Yes, his spirit is very powerful to be able to control the wolf inside. We've been planning with Taha Aki for this moment. He even mentioned Fen by name that he would be the one. We had no idea that he could do the things he could do. We knew that he was a werewolf, but not that he could change at will until the great wolf told us he witnessed such a feat during the newborn invasion. He knew about the Volturi, and he knew they would be back. It took us quite a while to track Fen down" His mother said before she jumped onto Fen's shoulder and eyed Leah.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Leah muttered staring back at her uncomfortably.

His mother laughed. "Oh nothing...just thinking" she said before she sighed thoughtfully. "I'm just so happy for you two. Maybe now Fen won't disappear all the time"

"Mom, shouldn't we like get the elders' phone numbers now? You know, now that we know that there are members who had their blood awoken?" Tami asked.

"How are we going to write it down? It'll be fine, Fen can call us with the information we need" she said before she looked back at Fen. "We're going to have to return to our bodies now...You two wolves do what wolves do best"

"Killing things?" Fen remarked.

"What? No! I meant...nevermind. I have to go" she said before she flew off.

"You know he's not going to call" Tami muttered.

Fen laughed and leaned back up against a tree trunk. Leah looked back at him confused thinking he knew what was going on. "Fen...what was she talking about? What do wolves do best?" she asked.

He stretched and yawned before scratching at his chest. "Don't worry about it...she's just teasing us. My mom is just one of those types who would want her son to start having pups and a lot of them" he muttered which it made Leah begin to blush as she laid down resting her head into his lap.

"I hope you're right about the estrous cycle thing. I don't want any more disappointments" she muttered before she looked up at him reaching up to touch his face and smiled. "Well, I guess you're the only thing good to happen to me in a few years" she said. She began to pet him and scratch at his chest which he murred softly and went limp. "Did you let your wolf out?" she asked. He gave a slow nodded, and she noticed his eyes changed. She was jarred, but she observed his behavior while she tried to make sense of it all. "Weird...aren't you supposed to be feral right now and try to kill me?" she muttered. He glared at her before he closed his eyes.

"I am feral right now...I'm too relaxed right now to be killing anything. I'm sorry to disappoint you" Fen said with a slightly morphed voice.

"I'm not disappointed...just relieved" She said before she gave him a smooch. She was immediately embraced and he began to devour her face. She moaned gripping his chest before she pushed away gasping for breath. She could taste the danger, and her shirt could not hide how aroused she was. She bit her lip and dove in for more intimacy with her feral boyfriend.

3. ** The Big Bad Wolf**

After a long making out session complete with biting and scratching, Leah had removed her shirt, but Fen had to put the breaks on anything going further. He stood up and looked off into the tree canopy to the east growling deeply but not in an erotic way like before. She looked up at him with great concern and immediately covered her breasts with her hands before standing up then huddling next to him. "Is there something wrong?" she asked before she noticed a vampire sickly smell. "How did I miss this?" she muttered to herself.

"I'm on my way!" Jacob told her telepathically.

The hairs on the back of her neck stood up, but he reached to squeeze her hand. She looked at him anxiously, but she saw confidence and an iota of indifference to the threat. "How can you be so calm right now?"

He shrugged and stood up. "We're being scouted not attacked"

She could not help but feel exposed and vulnerable with the enemy knowing a very intimate detail about her life. "How long have they been watching us?"

"A minute or so"

She got up and rubbed her arm feeling her skin crawl. "I thought they were all on vacation"

"They are on vacation...I don't why he's not attacking 'em. That thing has information about you and him" Jacob told her telepathically.

"I trust his judgement, Jake. I don't need saving either!" She lectured him telepathically.

He looked up at her oddly and raised an eyebrow. "Vacation? You care filling me in?"

"What the Cullens'? They are nothing but trouble! They are the reason why we phased..."

"So did they sire all of those newborns then?"

"No, Victoria made them"

"So she's responsible then?"

"For what?"

"Drawing the Volturi over"

"What? No! They were drawn here by that Bella bitch" She muttered before finally she let out a frustrated scream. "Agh! Look! If it weren't for her being here, all of this wouldn't have happened!"

"I doubt that...Tch, I have no fucking clue who these people are I'm just really good at finding trouble, or it finds me. The point is...you cannot pit one thing to give you this result. It's an accumulation of little things that snowball into this. You change one thing it might be a big change in one direction or the other, it might not make any difference at all. If not her, it would be someone else" he said before he stood up and placed a hand on her back. "Hey, but at least you got me out of it" He said cheerfully.

"Well that's true...but...I could do without smelling their stench?" she mumbled with her head down low.

"So those cowards have truly fled" the blonde vampire interrupted them with a Romanian accent. He and a brown haired gentleman with equally pale skin approached them. Leah clenched her fists and bared her teeth.

"Not you two again! How dare set foot on our lands!" She shouted pointing at them with rage.

The two held up their hands in the air watching Fen very closely uneasy as if trapped in an enclosure with a bear. "We have not come here to fight...we have come to give you proposition"

"Get lost! Before I rip off your heads!" Leah shouted.

Fen glanced over at her briefly making sure she saw his stern look. "What sort of a proposition do you have in mind?"

She gasped and stared at him in shock. "Don't! You'll just be making a deal with the devil! Are you listening!?"

Fen stared down the two vampires then began to smirk evilly. "Yes, but I don't think they heard you. Would you remind them who they're making a deal with?" he said, which the two looked at each other reluctantly before the blonde nodded. "Well?" he raised his voice at them impatiently.

"We're sorry..." The blonde one said.

"...You're behavior seems most peculiar for that of a typical child of the moon" the brown haired one said.

Fen closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "Are you done wasting my time? Why the hell would you approach me if you thought I was like the rest!?"

"Well...we know your brand of transformation. It isn't quick like that of the shapeshifter over there" The blonde one said gesturing towards Leah who had already phased into her wolf form.

"Moreover, you don't seem to feel threatened by us; we know you're hiding something" The brown haired one said. Leah glanced over at Fen with her ears pinned back whimpering feeling an unsettling chill blow through her fur.

"Before we discuss our proposal, we first would like a taste of whatever makes you so confident" The blonde one said.

Fen glared at them and growled lowly. "I ain't showing you anything" he said before he paused contemplating to himself. He took in a deep breath and sighed. "Fine...before I unzip my pants you're going to need a yard stick" he said.

Everyone including Leah stared at him in shock and chagrin as approached the two vampires. "Excuse me?" They both muttered in tandem. If Leah could blush, she would be bright red right now. The two vampires looked at each other again awkwardly not sure how to respond to him as he walked past them.

"We aren't here to see you take your pants off!" The brown haired one shouted.

Fen stopped and looked back at them grinning. "You aren't? Then I guess I can't show you why I'm so confident now do I?" he said sarcastically before he glanced up at Leah and winked at her then held his hand up. "Give me five minutes...I'll have their asses clenched so tight they'll be shitting out diamonds" he said before he took off deep into the woods.

"Fen! Don't do anything stupid!" Leah shouted mildly panicked.

The two vampires chased after him, and Leah froze conflicted with her instincts and her pack mates wishing for her to follow, but she repeated Fen's words to Jacob and the others. "Five minutes...then I'll go"

Within that five minute time span bizarre occurrences began as the chill grew to an unsettling feeling in the pit of her stomach. Black clouds loomed overhead and the trees above roared and swayed. Branches and moss fell all around with occasional popping and groaning. Thunder rumbled overhead, and Jacob grew very worried. "What's going on? It looks like the gates of hell opened from over here!"

"I don't know...the wind changed. I can't smell him anywhere!" Leah told him before she took off in the direction where Fen went. The farther she ran, the louder the wind got and the more crud fell from the trees. Eventually they were snapping like toothpicks and dirt blasted her eyes making her choke. She stopped dead in her tracks disoriented not sure whether or not she was getting closer to him or wondering to her death.

The freak storm ended as quickly as it began, and what she saw in front of her was flattened timber oriented similar to that of a crop circle however instead it was with trees. In the center of the destruction was Fen with glowing eyes and looking much taller and more buff than he had before. The two vampires picked themselves out of the debris. Their hair disheveled and caked with mud. They stared at him speechless unsure what had just happened, but they looked around dazed.

"Stefan, your arm is missing..." The blonde one said.

Stefan looked down at his stump then at his severed limb on the ground. "Did you see what happened, Vlad?"

"No...but I'm beginning to see how he could handle a handful of newborns, but I still don't know how" Vladimir said as he made an attempt to reach for Stefan's missing arm.

Fen crossed his arms over his chest standing in the blowdown menacingly. "So, do you require any farther demonstration..." he said in a monstrous threatening voice while brandishing his claws. "Imagine what I can do to a bunch of porcelain dolls when I'm just 30% transformed...or would you like me to finish quartering your friend at 10%?"

Vladimir froze in his tracks and looked up at him timidly. "N-n-no, that won't be necessary"

Leah stared at him in horror watching him start to walk towards them slowly and menacingly while Stefan tried to repair himself. Fen growled lowly as he got up within striking distance from them. "Then what are you proposing?"

They both shivered wide eyed and struggled to form words. "The volturi are only bringing their execution squad. With your help we can deal a crucial blow to their stranglehold over this world" Vladimir said before he reached into his pocket pulling out a picture of two young pale faced teenagers, a blonde haired girl and a brown haired boy.

"These two are your primary target. The girl induces a psychic pain while the boy has the opposite. With them out of the picture, the dominos will fall and..." Stefan said before Fen interrupted him.

"You've been following me haven't you?"

"Well we have heard about there being an unusual werewolf somewhere around this region they call the Big Bad Wolf" Vladimir said.

"We've left no stone unturned, no corner unchecked. We thought we had found him a couple of times. All have been disappointments, just the typical run-of-the-mill whiny melodramatic three nights a month monster" Stefan added.

"We were beginning to it were just a tall tale that we'd find you. Albeit it was just a stroke of dumb luck that we found you after one of our leads failed to produce. You have far exceeded all our expectations...and we know you aren't putting any effort in" Vladimir finished.

"A lead? You what do you mean?" Leah spoke up hiding her nudity behind a large toppled tree.

"It doesn't matter...he's a nobody. Just a dog who was nothing but bark" Stefan spoke up.

Fen reverted into his normal state. "What will you give me for my services?"

"We shall end the genocide on Werewolves. It is clear that the humans reproduce like rabbits..." Stefan said before Fen interrupted again.

"And?" He raised his voice with his arms crossed.

They looked at him confused. "What do you mean and? We'll leave you alone...what else do you want?" Vladimir asked.

"I want you to accept me as your Lord and Savior..." Fen added.

They both looked at him in disgust taking this to great offense. "You think we'd worship the likes of you!?" they both shouted at once.

Fen laughed evilly. "You don't have a choice. Either you admit that I'm bigger than you, I'll just catch and release those two darling little psychopaths for further fun and enjoyment. Afterall, if they come back, anyone with a trace of shapeshifter blood will have likely turned into a wolf once round two comes around. It be like a never ending cycle, But hey, at least you're immortal right...I guess would could wait another couple centuries?"

Leah's heart sank, but the two vampires growled and then shouted, "Enough! We'll do it!" they shouted.

Fen grinned. "That's the spirit...I knew that you could swallow your pride" he muttered before his amusement turned to a more serious matter. "Do you have information on when they'll arrive?"

"They will be here within a week..."Stefan said before they were soon joined by Jacob and Seth in their wolf form with Jacob baring his fangs at them.

"We shall take our leave...remember...you will have a week to prepare" Vladimir said before they both ran off and vanishing into the forest.

Jacob and Seth turned towards Fen extremely annoyed with him, and Fen stared them down unfazed. Leah came out and gave him a shove shouting, "What in the hell do you think you are doing!? How can you even say those things!? Would you really let them go!?"

Fen stared at her before he closed his eyes withdrawing a deep breath. After sighing heavily, he glanced over at Jacob and Seth. "I know what they want. I'm not anyone's attack dog. I take orders from no one...I do what I want" he said before he started to walk off.

Jacob reverted to his human form and shouted, "Well you better learn how to take orders then!"

Fen stopped and looked back at him and laughed before he pointed towards himself. "It must really bother you that you have zero control over me, don't it?" he said before Jacob took a step towards him.

Leah stood in front of him and blocked him off. "Don't...please don't fight him" she said nervously before she looked back towards Fen. "Your alpha voice is ineffective against a guy" she pleaded.

Two more wolves appeared from the forest and gawked at the destruction then towards Fen taking a few steps away from him as his lip curled. "What the hell are you two staring at!?" he raised his voice while he walked past them.

"Do you think that those two Dracula wannabes can be trusted!?" Jacob shouted.

"Of course not! I'm not stupid! I just wanted to see the little worms squirm. I've dealt with their kind before" Fen shouted with his back towards them. "I've got other things to worry about than a couple of reanimated cadavers. So unless you're not done being butt hurt, I would suggest you go back to the council and come up with a plan" he said.

"What are you talking about?" Jacob asked.

"It's that other werewolf they were tracking...isn't it?" Leah asked.

Fen stopped and looked back at her intensely. "Yea...I could smell one along my travels, but I don't know what business he has here"

"Is that why your family has been following you in astro form?" Jacob inquired.

Fen nodded before he turned away from them in deep thought. "Werewolves are very dangerous when they are in survival mode. If he's injured, he's going to be aggressive. Just keep in mind that all werewolves can transform when threatened. It won't be like those on full moons; however, the wolf inside them will take over in self-preservation. Don't seek him out...understood?" he muttered he will be took off into the forest towards his backpack. Jacob and his pack followed him.

Once he got to his supplies and Leah's clothes, Leah invited him to hop onto her back before she took off ahead of everyone heading straight for her mother's house with Seth trailing behind.

They both entered the backyard from the forest, which Charlie was in the dining room drinking a beer while chatting with Sue. He looked out into the yard at the two giant wolves and stood up muttering the words, "What the hell is going on now?"

Sue looked up out of the kitchen window noticing Fen jumping from her daughter's back confused but quickly grew excited rushing to the sliding glass door to greet them. "Charlie, go get them some clothes" she said shooing him off then she walked out onto the deck and immediately inspected him thoroughly. "So you're the one she has imprinted on? Where you from?" she asked.

Fen glanced at her with distrust initially and watched Charlie's movements through the glass door. Sue noticed him scanning the area, which she could tell he must have been through a lot. "Are you in the military?"

Fen shook his head, and Leah reverted into her human form coming up from behind and embracing him. "Mom, this is Fen. He's from the Puyallup Tribe...actually we imprinted on each other" she said before he glanced back at her and she smiled at him. "Right?" She asked before he nodded.

4. ** Can I keep him?**

Charlie came back outside with a laundry basket filled with clothes before he took a look at Fen carefully. "So if he's a werewolf...why was he riding on her back?" he asked as Sue pulled Leah's clothes out from the basket. Seth reverted to his human form and pillaged the basket slipping on brown shorts.

"How would you know anything about him being a werewolf?" Sue asked.

"I heard you talking with Billy before that storm happened..." Charlie said before she interrupted him.

"No, we were talking about someone else" she raised her voice as she came over to her daughter handing over her clothes after she reverted to human form. She turned her focus back onto Fen not convinced that he was a werewolf, and he looked back at her uncomfortably.

Sue held her hand out with a weary smile. "He looks very handsome. Pleased to meet you!" she said before she immediately looked towards his hand in shock once it made contact with hers. She regained her composure and looked towards her daughter. "Is he or isn't he?"

Leah rubbed her arm and muttered, "Well, it's complicated. I mean he is one...but he's like a real one"

"Yea, he took on two vamps by himself and all he needed to use was his Spirit warrior tricks. Didn't even need to transform or touch them" Seth said before Leah looked over to shoot him a glare warning him to shut up.

"Spirit Warrior?" Sue muttered to herself.

"Mom, I think we need to have an emergency meeting. He says he's been sent here by Taha Aki to help us fight off the Volturi" Leah said.

"Taha Aki? Are you sure?" Sue said in disbelief.

"Mom, A squirrel talked to me, and Fen blew down an entire forest. Yea, I'm pretty sure" she muttered in annoyance. Sue walked back up the steps onto the deck, and Charlie got up close to her.

"So is he the kind of werewolf that transforms on a full moon?" Charlie mumbled, which she nodded quickly. He looked back up at Fen and leaned into the threshold. "Since when does that kind of werewolf blow down a forest?" he asked.

"Apparently this one does. I would guess that this ability stems from his Spirit Warrior powers. I'm pretty sure they normally can't do that, right?" Sue answered before she looked towards Fen. He shook his head before she began looking at him closely again. "I've always wondered what ever happened to the spirit warriors..." she said before Charlie interrupted her.

"Aren't you worried what will happen if the full moon comes out. It's in a couple of days isn't it?"

She looked back at him briefly before she leaned up against the railing. "I am, but I don't know why Taha Aki would send him if he knew that he could pose a threat to us. I guess maybe Fen can control it somehow. In the tales the Spirit Warriors could manipulate nature including animals...I don't know if that applies to the supernatural" she said still skeptical herself.

"That all depends...you have to be a very powerful and experienced spirit warrior to pull off controlling a 100% transformed werewolf for even thirty seconds...For me...I found a hack when it comes for controlling it for an entire night" Fen said as he walked up the steps with Leah very close by his side.

"A hack?" Sue muttered before her phone started ringing. It was her ringtone set for Billy's caller ID, and she calmly walked back into the kitchen and reached for her phone on the counter answering it.

"Can you tell whether or not he is one?"

"Billy...it's complicated" She answered before she looked back at Fen with her daughter leaning up against him.

"What do you mean it's complicated? Either he is or he isn't"

"He can blow your house down!" Jacob muttered in the background.

"What? You guys can do that?" Rachel asked.

"No!!" Jacob and Paul both shouted.

Fen sniffed the air and drifted into the kitchen. "Is that pulled pork?" he asked. Leah tried to pull against him before her feet started slipping.

Sue looked up and shouted at him. "They aren't ready yet! Get your paws off those pigs!"

He stopped enough for Leah to start tugging him away beyond an arm's reach from the family dinner like he was on a leash. Seth laughed at the sight, and Leah looked back at him trying to hide her smile. Fen shot him a look and growled lowly while he rushed up grabbing the top of his head. "What the hell are you laughing at!?"

Seth gulped and stopped laughing. "I just figured out why you're called the Big Bad Wolf" he said panicked. "You know...that was really badass what you said to those vampires...you had them scared"

Fen smirked at him getting up really close and staring him down intensely. "Well, flattery will get you everywhere. I know what you were laughing at...I can smell the fear in you"

Seth gulped with his back pressing back against his chair trying to get out of Fen's surprisingly strong grip. "You can't hear us talking can you?"

"I don't need a telepathic link to know what you're laughing at...you think that I'm going to listen..." he said before Leah slid her fingers around his trunk from behind and whispered into his ear lowly.

"Cut the big bad wolf act...we're all family whether you like it or not! I'd rather not have him piss himself" Fen relented as she gripped his chest firmly before she laid her head into his back. "You owe me Seth!"

"Yeah, It's a good thing you have him on a leash or I'd be in a..." he muttered before Fen growled at him ferociously eyeing him down. Leah was trying to pull him back. "Duh, I mean we're family right?"

"You know in some wolf parents will eat their own young" Fen said.

Seth whimpered and Leah sighed heavily. "He's not frail sickly pup! He just doesn't know when to shut up!" she muttered before she gave Seth a death glare.

"Point taken! Shutting up!"

"Yeah, I bet your pack mates are howling this up right now aren't they!? You know I really don't like having an audience. I don't think your brother was that smart enough to come up with that leash joke on his own" Fen said.

Seth tensed up and shivered. "Seriously! Can he hear us!?"

Fen glared at him and crossed his arms over his chest. "What do you think?"

"Then I'll teach them a lesson to never eavesdrop on us again" Leah said before she leaned up into his ear whispering, "I might like to get that yard stick to see how you measure up"

Fen flinched and looked back at her smiling mischievously. "Uh...you will only need it once I'm past 50%. I hope you like it rough?" he muttered back to her.

"Do your worst Big Bad" She whispered back pressing her forehead into the side of his head.

Seth looked at them confused. "What are you talking about?"

"It's none of your business Seth!" She snapped at him.

"I'm going to fuck your sister in my werewolf form, Seth!" Fen shouted, which Charlie was outside within ear shot and spat the last swig of his beer in a huge spray before he started coughing uncontrollably. Sue facepalmed and shook her head.

She put her hand over the receiver and glared at him. "This isn't an appropriate thing to discuss at the dinner table" She said calmly. She looked outside at Charlie coughing and whipping his face off. "You alright?"

Charlie closed his eyes and nodded. "And, this is supposed to be the chosen one sent by Taha Aki? This has to be some kind of sick joke" he muttered. He came inside and sat back down still coughing.

"Well then have them come over they might want to learn about real werewolves too then" Sue suggested.

"I can already see this turning out to be a bad idea. They are nervous about him" Billy added.

"We're going to have to work with him. I don't understand how Jacob can let go of all his animosity towards vampires once he imprints, but when Leah imprints he's put all of that animosity towards Fen! He's being stupid. He doesn't know a damn thing about werewolves. He hasn't lied to us. He's just being an Alpha" Sue said.

"You do know an Alpha isn't really a thing right?" Fen spoke up. Leah let out a heavy sigh and glanced over at him. "But since I scare them so much, I guess that makes me the Alpha wouldn't it?"

Sue laughed hearing Jacob swearing on the other line, "He's no alpha! He's just a fucking asshole that needs to learn his place! He knows nothing about us or our ways!"

"I'm not so sure about that Jake...I think Fen might actually have an alpha voice. I mean, none of you all went to go look for the other werewolf" Seth said telepathically.

There was a long pause before Jacob smashed something. "He doesn't! That's not why we haven't started looking for it, Seth!"

"Well, we don't know anything about their kind. We kinda just needed to take his word for it" Embry chimed in.

"You mean you didn't feel it?" Seth asked which no one said anything.

"He's just really good at being as scary as hell" Leah finished.

"So can he hear us?" Seth asked.

"I think he might. If his grandmother can, then probably he could" She answered.

"Why can't he just say something?" Seth whimpered.

Leah gave Fen a nudge, and he looked at her confused before he wrapped his arm around her rubbing her shoulder. "He's not listening to us...he's probably listening you our parents talking" she explained.

Sue started slopping the meat onto the buns counting them before she looked back over at Fen nervously. "How many do you want?" she asked while holding her phone up to her ear with her shoulder.

"All of it" He replied. Sue rolled her eyes, and Leah slapped at him with her brother snickering at him. "I'm fine with whatever you give me. I can always go out and get a midnight snack" he said before Leah hit him again. "What? I can't grab a bite to eat?"

Sue glanced over at him and sighed heavily. "I'd rather you stay here...I don't want you getting into fights with Jacob and the others" she said.

"It's not my fault they get butt hurt so easily" he grumbled to himself.

"Billy, we're about to eat dinner...we can talk more about werewolves at the meeting. Okay? Bye..." she said impatiently before she hung up. She sighed a bit in frustration with enduring another one of Billy's rants, but she took note at her daughter's effectiveness in getting Fen to behave to some degree as she coaxed him to sit. After Seth and Fen's extemporaneous eating competition, and their subsequent reprimand from Sue, Leah took Fen into her bedroom.

When he sat his backpack down, a smile started to creep upon her lips as she imagined what he did to Stefan and Vladimir. Now she had him all to herself and she could resume their romantic encounter fully aware with how dangerous he was. This only heightened her cravings. She walked up behind him and pressed him up into the wall looking into his eyes with hunger. He glanced back at her amused as she started to tug at his shirt lifting at it.

He growled at her seductively as she started kissing at his chest nibbling on him in various spots going lower as she went. She looked up at him unsure if he disapproved only to see him staring back attentively. She looking down at her target briefly took in a deep breath and let her hand wonder into his pants.

He knew what she was after and left her to explore. He closed his eyes and began to think to himself. "They know what we're doing don't they?" he asked.

She smiled already with her hands deep into his pants. "Oh they know...I don't know why you are so worried" she purred while she unbuttoned his pants. "My Big Bad Wolf"

He scoffed at her. "I'd rather be given a BJ and not have the whole pack know about it. I don't do porn" he said which she smiled at him. Before she could pull down the band of his boxers, he cleared his throat. "Uh, maybe I should shower and make it presentable" he said.

She let out a huff and he raised an eyebrow. "You know you can come in too right?"

"Actually that sounds like a good idea" she mumbled before she turned around and walked off with a bit of sway in her hips. She stopped at the door and looked back at him laughing. "Everything felt gigantic, why are you so stressed out?"

"Psh, I'm not stressed out. I just want this to be a...pleasant experience...for you. I don't want to scare you" he muttered.

She shook her head at him. "I say bring it on. I'm not some weak fragile girl. I'm a strong sturdy shewolf. I am supposed to be made for you"

"I know, I was only joking with you. Well the scaring part" he said as he got into his backpack and pulled out a sack of dirty stinky clothes. "Egh, these need to be washed he said before pulling out fresh ones.

"Okay let's go" He said before she grabbed his hand and dragged him into the bathroom.

Later when they showered, Seth had the displeasure of hearing Leah's vivid internal monologue about sword swallowing. He was in horrified with what his sister was doing to Fen or why she would do it, but he just had to endure for once his sister was happy. When they got out of the bathroom, Sue approached them and looked between them.

"We're going to need to get you two your own place" She muttered.
