Ryan could see there was a question mark next to the race and mentally thought about clicking it to see what it held;
[Race: Wolf (Fenrir Bloodline)

Perks: Super Senses, Super Strength, Super Speed, Super Regeneration, Draining Bite
(Note: Fenrir Bloodline takes away Imprint bond from host.)]
Since he was driving at the moment Ryan couldn't look at it all but he was impressed, he was also happy about the note at the end, at least it meant that he wouldn't imprint on anyone else. It still didn't clear his heart on what would happen with Leah though, she wasn't apart of his bloodline so she was still apart of the whole imprinting, meaning she could still do that with someone else.
He sighed while shaking his head as he pulled into the fancier store in Port Angeles.
"What's the matter?" Leah asked as they all got out and met at the front of the car, Rosalie was looking at him intensely too.
He shook his head smirking some, "Nothing, just thinking about how clingy you are, I mean rushing all the way to my house and all. What do you have a crush on me or something?"
She scoffed hitting her elbow into his stomach as they walked towards the store, "Please, no one could like an ugly mug like yours."
He pouted, "Oh you wound my lonely heart."
Rosalie followed them while her eyes kept jumping between the two, he wasn't ignoring her on purpose or anything, it was just with her presence he felt awkward about her being apart of what they were doing. He knew about her who mate thing and it just threw him off, since he didn't really want to be tied to the Cullens her involvement with him kind of threw that off.
When he looked back at her she gave him a 'smile' and he used that loosely because he wasn't sure if he couldn't count it as one, there was a grimace to it so he knew that she was feeling uncomfortable with what they did, "So Rosalie, where did you move from?" He asked trying to be polite.
She accepted too as she jumped into the conversation, "Me and my family just moved from Denali, Alaska. My father got an offer her though at the hospital so he took it."
He nodded, Leah looked at her with a weird gaze, if he was reading her right then it was because of their old legends about the cold ones, he didn't know if she believed them or not but she could. He had never been invited to a bonfire where they actually talked about those legends, instead like the one they were going to tonight it was just teens hanging out.
"So Rosalie," Leah started with a smile, "Do you want to join us for the bonfire tonight?"
Although Ryan was looking forward even he could tell when Rosalie tensed at the question, it seemed like an innocent one where Rosalie could politely decline, but he felt there was more to it.
"I umm, can't family obligations tonight. My mom always has us have family movie nights Wednesdays." Rosalie said thinking of something off the top of her head.
Ryan didn't put her and Leah also didn't look as if she bought it, nothing was said though as Ryan walked into the store and grabbed a hand basket, walking towards where the cheeses were he felt them follow. He grabbed the two he was missing before he walked around for other things, he might as well restock while he was here, he chuckled when Leah would throw things in the basket.
He grabbed five bags of family sized chips, she threw in four boxes of gummy candies, he threw in granola bars, she threw in three tubs of ice cream.
"Really?" He asked when they were walking to check out.
She looked at him with a raised brow, "What, you never said I couldn't get anything."
Rolling his eyes he didn't make her out it back, instead he went ahead and paid for it all, Rosalie had followed them around but she hadn't said a word or added anything in the basket. If anything she had been watching them interact with one another, there was a thoughtful look on her face as she did watch them.
+++++
"I'm going to head home now. Thanks for allowing me to go to the store with you, I hope you are feeling better soon." Rosalie said with a slight smile before she walked off towards her house.
Ryan did not stop her but led Leah into the house while carrying all the bags, Leah was only carrying a tub of ice cream and a spoon sending him a smile when he playfully glared at her. He really needed to smoke, going out with those two had been seriously stressful for him, he didn't like it one bit.
"You could help you know." He stated as he set the bags down and began putting things away as she jumped on to the counter.
"I know, but I like watching you do it, makes me feel like I have my own servant." She said while sending him a smile.
Rolling his eyes he acted as if he was reaching into his pocket, he actually grabbed weed from his inventory along with a lighter, he hardly ever used the inventory but mostly kept weed in there. He put an end into his mouth before lighting the other, taking a puff he was glad to see his new body enhancements did not ruin the effect, he still felt it.
It was not as strong as he like it to be though making him frown, he hoped the next time he went to harvest some that it would get an effect on it making it stinger then this Moonlight Dream he was smoking. Leah broke him from his thoughts while taking the joint from his lips and taking a drag herself while giggling.
Kissing her cheek he ignored her and set a pot on the stove, adding a little milk he began to add his spices and then the cheese, he turned music on his speakers while moving around. Leah was content to sit on the counter and watch him, he hid what he was putting in the dip but she didn't care as the weed had pulled her senses and made her all relaxed giggly.
"So....Rosalie huh?" Leah said her mind not as far gone as he thought as she looked him over.
"What about her?" Ryan asked while moving to stand next to her.
Leah hesitated fiddling with her fingers as she thought over her words, Ryan just stood there and waited he wasn't going to push her, from her posture and movements he could tell she was nervous about whatever she was going to say, "So do you like her?" She finally asked.
Ryan paused.
"I mean, I know she is beautiful and everything, all you had to do was look at her to know that. Plus she seemed to like you, so, how do you feel about her?" Leah continued at his pause.
Ryan paused again, he sighed eventually running a hand down his face, why on earth did things have to be this heavy for him already, he just got use to the idea of being a wolf. Now he had to deal with this, he didn't even think that Leah would bring this up, she was still technically dealing with the Sam things, he didn't think she would talk about this now.
His feelings alone were all over the place, but now that it was out there it needed to be talk about, "Yeah Rosalie is a very beautiful woman." He agreed.
Leah frowned her head whipping to look at him, "So, you like her then?" She asked trying to read his face.
Ryan sighed and looked at her, their faces were inches apart as hazel looked into ruby red eyes, neither moved as she was waiting for him to say something while Ryan was trying to find the words. His palms were sweaty and any effect the weed was having on his was gone, he could smell a raspberry fragrance coming off of Leah, it was intoxicating.
Biting his lip he moved away from her as his cheese began to boil, he went about getting it as the sun dipped casting a glow in the kitchen, he mood was somber as they stood in there together.
Ryan felt as if he missed a moment, he used the cheese as an excuse but a moment none the less a moment missed.
Leah felt that she shouldn't have brought it up at this moment, as if she messed with the delicate balance that was between them, she should have let it rest and allowed him to address it first. She just couldn't control her tongue after seeing Rosalie today, her heart was unsettled realizing there was someone else.
"Alright we should be heading out." Ryan said with a tight smile trying to go for a nonchalant attitude.
