Author's Notes: Dudes, I love Leah, wholly and unabashedly. She's the most tragic figure ever and gets the worst rap in the whole series. She's painted by a gossip-happy Edward and a mourning Jacob to be evil, but neither of these character depictions is given to us by a narrator with a clear, un-biased mind. The idea of female werewolves as better trackers/heightened senses of smells is stolen from "Bitten" by Kelly Armstrong which beats the pants off Twilight (except in the love-triangle-angst-of-d00m department) and everyone should READ IT.

( They stared at each other until her body betrayed her with a shiver and he turned to return noiselessly to his own burden of guilt - the two women he had ripped to shreds with his inhumanity. )
