The Omega's New Moon
Characters: Bella, Jacob, Sam, Embry, Jared, Paul, Quil, Seth and Leah, Edward, Alice and Carlisle
Timeline: After The First Attack and at the Prom and leading up to the Birthday party.
Synopsis: What if the Clearwaters and the Blacks came to see Bella the day after the prom, and she heard the truth and spent the half the summer with her pack, before Edward blocked the memories. Had the entire pack heard the truth of their bonds, before the memories were screwed around with and they forgot everything.
Warning: This story is going to be if the adult pack had watched her grow up and she breaks the news to them early of why the nomads had attacked her. Edward himself is another enemy though now that he left though the sextet become friends and Charlie gains the truth within hours of seeing the council as their wolves.
This is going to be a prequel leading into my time travel story, if she had connected to the rest of her pack long before Edward violated the treaty and the truths come forward, but her memories are blocked out by Edward after Billy, Harry and Sue tell her that truth, and the second half of the summer starts, as the doses of pheromone he gives her's start coming every day to keep her away from Jake.
The Story is going to lead into the birthday party and from there New Moon and Eclipse stay the same, but this story is going to be all vampire. Though she and the packs develop their bonds, Edward plans to prevent them from taking her away from him, before The Omega's Divergence begins and that story is all werewolf.
Also for this story and its sequel, Quil Ateara the IV is still alive and Embry happens to be Sam's half brother, but they're out of town and the pack bonds are stronger than the younger pack realize. Bella and the Clearwater children have a stronger bond than they realize and she and Jake, they're relationship was already growing, before Edward and the Cullen Sextet left in New Moon.

Chapter 1: Warning Meanings and Unexpected Discoveries
"What's he doing here?" Edward Cullen asked, his tone rude as he saw the white covered back maroon colored truck that Billy Black, my father's best friend was driving up the street and I smiled as Billy gave me a wave to greet me. "Family gang night if dad invited him and the Clearwaters over, and Jake is with him. Guess dad was intending not to leave me alone with my just beginning to heal and the sidewalk is still dangerous." I said to him firmly.
"Edward don't start with me, I'm not cutting ties with them, for your sake, I just met you. They've known me since I was a cub, get out of my way." I snapped as I walked over to the truck and Jake climbed out of the passenger seat and gave me a hug smiling as I pressed my forehead to Jake's we closed our eyes and I heard a bit of purring come out of him.
Seeing the annoyance on Edward's face at seeing Jake, I knew whatever was up with that I had to see Billy as I looked at the caring and concerned look on his face, as he looked at Edward with a wary look on his face then as he pulled into my driveway then. "Edward we better go" Alice said to him and he shook his head. "I'm not leaving her alone with Black or his friends." he said with a growl and Billy answered that with a icy look.
"Alright how do you know the Blacks exactly Edward, let alone the Clearwaters, Uleys and the Atearas exactly, when you met their grandfathers, but never met them face to face. The quartet are forty five years old, but their grandfathers as well?" I asked and he looked at him. "Does it really matter?" he asked and I nodded. "Yes it does, Billy watched me grow up, a few memories are gone, but I know he's harmless, to me, as are the guys. If they're protectors, they're protecting me, if you leave for whatever reason." I told him firmly.
Looking into Billy's eyes, I saw eyes that looked and matched the ones on the oversized version of my stuffed wolf Tala. My toy wolf that he got me when I was six months old. "Bella where did that stuffed red wolf on your bed come from exactly?" Edward asked and I smiled. "Billy actually, I had one for both parents, but if he's the alpha than the rest of my miniature pack is back in storage at the moment in the attic. But if that's meant to jog my memories."
"Than I'm safer around him and his friends after what I've seen so far, and for the record don't insult my intelligence that you're safer than he is, he and his friends are harmless to humans so long as you never piss him off and with those words. If he and the council are the adult versions of my toy wolf pack, than I'm learning what he has to tell me right now, so get out of my way." I said with a warning tone and walked to the driver's seat door with a smile as he gave my hand a squeeze, smiling, with a paternal look.
"I was waiting for you to say that baby, you remembering that definitely helps now, and you're right, so long as no one tests our tempers we're harmless to humans. You know this, because your instincts activated at the right time, you know we'd never hurt you baby, you remember our connection, that I helped your father raise you?" he asked and I smiled. "Yeah I remember, the sense of paternal bonds are getting stronger every time I see you."
"Maybe you can answer this, but how is it he knows you on sight though up until they moved here, or just returned, you never saw each other, let alone Carlisle, face to face exactly?" I asked him and he smiled. "Because our species know what the other is on sight the second we see each other, and where he's concerned, he knows who I am, because I'm the grandson of the Alpha and tribe leader that created that treaty with them."
"The other reason is because I'm also a 45 year old replica of Ephraim honey, he knows me, because I'm everything he saw in my grandfather, but as the tribe leader I have the power to banish them from the area if they break the treaty, which is where you come in, he breaks the treaty he's in serious trouble. They're forbidden to cross into La Push as a result, with you being the daughter, or more accurately great grand-daughter of the woman that repeated the regulations in the treaty, they break it and they're in serious trouble."
"For the record though we're retired Cullen, I'm disabled and my pack is retired, while the boys are activating one by one. And I'm sure that Charlie would approve to having a parental guardian and supervision for her in the house when he's not around." he told us and I smiled at the father of my friend as I open his car door and helped him out of the driver's seat as Jake got the wheelchair out of truck bed. "Thanks sweetheart, just be careful." he said with a kind and caring look in his brown eyes as I went into conversation with him.
Before I did, I looked at the cockpit then and smiled seeing several joysticks and buttons meant to help him drive the car with him paralyzed from the waist down and looked at Jake with an amused look. "Jake did you and your friend get the car jury rigged to so he could drive it, I've seen stuff like this created for people that are disabled, but I didn't think you were that type of mechanic to do this?" I asked and he nodded as he answered me.
"Yeah I did, I'm a mechanic and Quil, Embry and I are running our own shop at the current moment, I did this after the car accident." he said and I nodded to him. "You guys started your own garage this early, so I can just go to you for car trouble now?" I asked and he chuckled and nodded. "Yeah I'd gladly take place as your personal mechanic now Bells, you mean a lot to me and we get to see each other as much as possible this way." he said and I nodded as I thought over birthday gifts and then smiled as I answered him.
"So if you were a mechanic you'd want something to tinker with for a birthday present, car engines, motorcycles, that type of thing?" I asked and he smiled and nodded to me. "Yeah so long as you come see me when we're in the garage working on it that helps. You mean more to me than you'll ever know." he said and I gave him a hug and I saw Billy smile at that gently. "Just be careful in the test drive you two." he said and we nodded to him smiling.
"Hey Billy, what's up exactly?" I asked and he looked at me as I saw a look of paternal love in his eyes. "There's something I've been waiting to tell you, but with him and Alice standing here, I may as well do it now, baby, but the title Uncle wasn't just a metaphor here. I'm your godfather sweetheart, welcome home." he said and I smiled and pressed my forehead to his and I heard a loud purring start coming out of him and hid a chuckle.
"I thought the packs ended with Ephraim?" Edward said in shock and I knew he could hear the purring coming out of Billy's heart them. "We didn't Cullen, young lady I believe Renee told you this already?" he asked and she nodded. "Yeah she did, but we, the six of us, agree to your terms here Chief Black, we promise." she said and Edward looked at her. "Edward, before you start making judgement calls here, if I choose its of my own free will now."
"Whatever was in that treaty, keep to it, if the packs are back, because if you don't, the packs have just cause, and I'm going to the adult pack to hear whatever you block from my memory. It's not going to work, if I'm engaged already to one of my tribe, I'm marrying into my tribe, especially if Jake is the one I'm betrothed." I added as Billy answered that in relief as Jake took my hand and he got started with a firm look on his face then as he said it.
"And secondly here, Renee already discussed this with your leader, use of your weapons are against the law. We stopped ten years ago, when our Cubs were ten and eight years old, unfortunately Edward, though we're retired, it doesn't stop us from knowing what you and your sister are on sight." he added and I smiled. "So Papa wolf, what's going on if you came to see me." I asked jokingly and he chuckled at the address I gave him as he looked me.
"Stopped ten years ago, stopped what exactly?" I asked and he turned to me. "The last time you saw me like that was when you were eight years old honey, though you kept coming to see us for four more years every summer, you forgot those memories by the time you were twelve. So with that look at the pendants on your necklace sweetheart." he said and I removed the necklace and saw seven wolf pendants on the chain.
One in green, the others in red, navy blue, burgundy, bronze, turquoise and sky blue. "Who are these indicating exactly?" I asked and he smiled. "We're burgundy, the others indicate the Clearwaters, Uleys, Truehearts, Denalis and Lehotes. You're the green pendant, but the duo on both sides of you are your familial trio, the Uleys and Truehearts. The boys are your second cousins baby." he said and I smiled at the news and Alice repeated that in shock.
"Uleys and Truehearts, as in Levi Uley and David Trueheart?" she asked and he nodded to that. "Sam and Jared are her second cousins, their mothers are her aunts, but we raised our Cubs together, if you saw twenty eight year old version of us when you looked at the photos that was us just before we separated and she's been coming to see us every summer since. She came here for one reason reason and reason only, to return to our world."
"That's where you and your family come into the picture, you were meant to reintroduce her back into our world, by her seeing your abilities slightly, but I wasn't expecting that to result in her ending up in the ICU, just what happened exactly if she ended up in your father's medical care at the time...?" he started to say and she answered him. "My name is Alice Chief Black and to answer your question, James tricked her into a trap."
"He's dead, we took care of it, but it was very close." she said and he nodded. "Whatever he said was true enough, he's a lion, she's a lamb, but that's where the truth changes direction now, she's not a lamb, but a wolf in sheep's clothing Alice. In fact her mother was my omega we've been friends since we were kids, her parents are my best friends and I helped raise her, she's my cub." he said and I felt my heart skip a beat at the wording then.
Before she could answer, I saw a blue van drive up with a group of three in it and saw the driver with a smile on his face as he looked at me. "Alright don't tell me. Alpha's fifth or secondary beta with Eric out of town still Billy." I said and he nodded as I saw his secondary dressed in a orange long sleeve t and blue jeans and tried to keep from laughing. "I take it, he's the sixth member I was closest to at the time?" I added and he nodded smiling.
Looking at him, his name came forward. "Are you guys just trying to jog my memory now Uncle Jack for gods sakes." I said to him smiling. "Hi Jesse, Aunt Rose." I said and they smiled at the address as Billy smiled in relief. "You know them?" Edward asked and I nodded. "Yeah he's a friend of dad's, and our family's have been friends for thirty years Edward. He's one of six I was closest to out of the adult pack, right Uncle Jack?" I asked him smiling.
"Well that's the address I was waiting for here baby, you remember me." he said as he pulled me into a hug and I tightened my arms around him. "I take it that choice in color shirts was to help me remember, if that's your fur color, if you were a wolf?" I asked him softly and he nodded. "Yeah, but I'm not ready to retire just yet of this gets any worse and where you're concerned, I'm not risking it." he said and Edward looked at him in shock.
"You're not retired, Bella get away from him." He said and I shook my head and buried it into Jack's chest as he rubbed my back. "No, if he's who I think, than I'm safer with him now, mom, you're part of mom's pack Uncle Jack." I said envisioning his inner wolf and seeing orange fur and blue eyes and smiled as I buried my head into his chest. "Hey shh, you're safe now sweetheart, you remember, we're harmless to you." he said softly, smiling to me.
"Not from where I'm sitting, Bella get away from him." Edward said and I shook my head a second time. "You heard Billy, he's my godfather, I'm not going anywhere Edward, whatever he's trying to tell me regarding my life in this world, I'm hearing it, now back off." I told him and he looked at me with a furious look. "Cullen I'm saying it now, touch her and you're getting arrested by Charlie and the rest of our sextet, keep your hands to yourself." Billy added to him and I turned to him to go into it.
Before I could answer, Edward grabbed my arm and yanked me away from him and that did it as I heard three furious growls as two wolves leaped out from the trees and he quickly backed up, before Jack gave him a warning growl, that sounded the growl of a wolf. "Hold fire here, Edward let go, you're going to break my arm." I snapped at him and that did it as Jack grabbed his wrist and jerked it off my arm, and shoved him ten feet away from me.
"Get your hands off of her." he snarled and I quickly jerked away from Edward, tripped and landed on hard on the ground, as I backed up and into the brown wolf, before feeling a jolt of pain go shooting through my leg and I shouted out through gritted teeth at the amount of agony I was in. "Ahh, God!" I said through clenched teeth. "What happened exactly!" Jesse asked quickly. " God my leg, this hurts, I can't get up, Jake!" I said and he quickly crouched at my side and pulled me into his chest and I wrapped my arm around his neck then.
Before Jesse crouched at my side. "Bella calm down, relax, it's okay, it's okay, just relax." he said softly as he looked at Edward. "Try that again and our fathers are taking you apart now, keep your hands to yourself Cullen." he snarled at him with a wolf like growl in his gentle voice. "Whatever you were to me, I bet you became one of four baby brothers I had, in addition to Seth and his trio." I said and he nodded. "Well I'm acting like any other brother would if a boy hurt you for no reason Bells." he said and Rose crouched at my side.
"It's been just short of five weeks and her leg hasn't mended itself back together yet." Aunt Rose said and I looked at her. "Are you a nurse as well Aunt Rose?" I asked and she nodded. "I am baby, but jolts like this this pain is going to keep you down till the pain wears off, so with that just relax and stay down, the cold and dampness in the weather is also affecting you, which explain why the boys here came out like this now." she said and I nodded to her as she very gently squeezed each spot in my leg and I tried to keep from flinching.
"Alright easy, just breathe Bella, the pain will give in minute baby, it's okay, it's okay, just relax." Aunt Rose said softly as Edward looked at me in concern then. "Bella I'm sorry." Edward said and I backed away from him and into the furry legs of the wolf standing behind me. "Stay away from her Cullen!" Billy snapped with a growl. "Easy baby, it's okay, let me look." Aunt Rose said and he looked at her. "How bad is it Rose?" he asked and she sighed.
"The jolt jarred the bones in her leg, she's okay, but she needs to stay next to us, it's still below sixty degrees out here, Brownie stay close, she needs you right now." she said and I turned away from Edward and buried my face into Brownie's fur as I tried to relax. "Nice work you idiot, if she wasn't scared of you before, she is now." Jack snapped at him with a furious look on his face. 'I'll just rest in his fur.' I thought as I buried my head into the fur of his chest and he rubbed his head against mine to calm me down then.
"Easy Bella, it's okay you're safe, it's okay, shh. Brownie stay close to her, you too Stormy." Jack said crouching at my side then as he ran his hand through my hair and they nodded as the brown wolf nudged me backward gently with his head as the greyish black with white spots was growling angrily at Edward as he rubbed his head against my shoulder, before gently laying across my leg to keep it warm and I hid a smile then at the response.
"Abusive relationship anyone, getting physical in front of every adult and cop on the block it's enough your reputation is getting shot." Jesse said with a furious look on his face, before he lost his temper. "You want us on you head right now you leach, I could take you apart right now for that, she's got one injury and she doesn't need another you..." he started to say and Jack answered that. "Finish that sentence and you're grounded for a month. Now watch your mouth, young man." he said to him sternly, before Jake looked at Billy.
"Dad you mind if I finish that remark, he's eleven, I'm on the edge of sixteen at the moment, and I'm watching PG-13 films?" Jake asked and he shook his head. "With you being in high school no we don't mind, you're who she's betrothed to already, you may as well say it for all of us, son. Though to repeat that cub, you finish that remark and you're in the den for a month." he said looking at Jesse and he nodded as Jake went on firm boyfriend stance.
"Keep your hands off of her, if you ever touch her against her will again, I'm going to rip out your throat, you bastard, and I mean that with every word right now Cullen, stay away from her. Because if you don't you're having me and the entire pack on your head." Jake said with a furious look on his face. "Are the cub versions of my necklace running loose in front of my house here?" I asked and Billy nodded. "Yes and three of four of them are standing in front of you honey. Brownie, Stormy, protect her and your pack brothers." he said to them firmly.
"Just what happened now, what's wrong with me?" I asked and Alice sighed. "Chief you mind if I get closer?" she asked and he shook his head. "No, you I trust more than your brother at the moment." Rose said to her and she nodded to her as she crouched at my side. "Bella with what just happened the jolt just broke the facade he's placed on you, you're seeing past a glamour that is meant to act like the tiger dressed as house cat look right now."
"Bella, what I mean by that is whatever he used on you, it just gave out, you're seeing him like he's James, but me like my usual self right now. Like I said, we have a few weapons meant to draw in our prey when we're red eyes, but we never use our weapons on humans if we're gold eyes. And it's illegal to do that here in Forks and Olympia, he's just scared you into breaking the glamour of our gold eye stage and you're seeing him like a red eye."
"Whatever your ability is with the tribe, it's because you've been cross examining us ever since we met four months ago. The pack, like they're your family, though if he's acting like a red eye, it's enough you're afraid of him now when you're surrounded by your own kind. Though considering the trauma, you're afraid of him after seeing him fight it out." she told me gently and I nodded as Jack explained that as he crouched next to me.
"She's right, and Cullen you ever use that crap on her again and we're tearing you to shreds." he snapped at him, before looking at me. "The glamour wore off, you're seeing him in the way you saw the leach that attacked you last month, with her she's normal and us like your protectors, you know you're safe with us. Because you never saw us in hunting mode when hunting, you know us as you see the boys here baby." he said to me softly, in a soothing tone and I leaned into his chest as he wrapped both arms around me.
"Everything okay over there Chief Black?" I heard my neighbor shout from her porch. "It's a bit tense, call Daniel Trueheart and Elliot Lehote and get them over here, in case he tries that twice. We got a domestic disturbance in the front lawn of Chief Swan's house, her boyfriend just barely missed breaking her arm, he's getting a bit abusive here, so we need a bit of police protection now." Billy called back and she nodded to the orders.
"What happened and where did your furry friends come from?" she asked and he sighed. "To answer your second question the Cubs here decided to make a visit to see her and he lost his temper when she said she wasn't leaving our side and jarred the still healing bones in her leg in the fall. Could you call the boys from our precinct and then call Charlie. I'm narrowing this down to abusive relationships." he said and she nodded and went back inside.
Looking at Edward in shock, Alice laid into him for that. "Edward have you lost your damn mind, you get physical in front of her paternal figures, you're going to expose us you idiot. She hasn't mended completely yet, are you trying to land back in Carlisle's care, because he hears this he's going to kill you for touching her like that. Her father's the chief of police and Chief Black could evict us from the peninsula for your getting rough where she's concerned."
"Bella you okay?" Alice asked and I nodded, shaking, as I moved closer to the boys and their parents as Jesse moved closer to me and Jake positioned himself next to me, before Stormy turned his head to look at me and gave a growling purr, before I heard a voice through it. "Bella you okay?" I heard and turned to the grey wolf. "Yeah I'm fine, he didn't break anything, I'm okay Stormy." I said smiling and he wolf chuckled at the nickname.
"Where'd my name come from if you're calling me that exactly?" he asked and I smiled. "My toy wolf pack actually, I got a wolf that looks just like you and Brownie is the other, but that's two of nine, so Stormy and Brownie, what's the third member of your trio looking like exactly." I said looking between them and they both nodded. "We're two of your toy wolves?" he repeated and I nodded as Brownie answered my remark with a smile in his tone.
"He's black furred Bella, but it's us and Elder Denali, wait that's our color pendants on your chain, how could that be?" the brown furred wolf asked and I looked into his eyes then. "I'm not entirely sure, but he said I'm related to the Truehearts and Uleys, I'm the second cousin to their families, and by blood to whoever you are in human form, if you're not normal wolves." I told him and he nodded to that, his blue eyes widening in shock at the news.
"Wait a second, what did you three sound like as Cubs exactly, if this is the next stage up, and Jack called you by the names I gave your toy versions?" I asked and I heard a 10 year old voice enter my mind as it said it. "Hey sis, been a long time now, welcome home Bells.' he said as I looked into Stormy's eyes at that. "That's what Paul Lehote sounded like when we were ten." I said and he nodded to me gently at that.
"That's what I sounded like when we were kids?" he repeated and I nodded. "No it can't be, Paul is that really you?" I asked and he nodded. "Bella." he said and pressed his forehead to mine at that, before I turned to the chocolate brown. "The navy blue was the other member of my maternal family, but Sam in red, me in green. And you in navy blue, if you're really who I think Brownie." I said and his eyes narrowed in concentration.
"You're my cousin, geez, why can't we remember that if you, Paul and I were a trio when we were little?" he asked with a growl and I sighed. "Because it's been ten years, since we saw each other, cousin, the other members of my trio, as a toddler, were a Jared Cameron and Paul Lehote, no wait a minute that can't, it can't be, that really you..., Jared?" I whispered and he nodded to me, with a smile in his eyes as he answered me.
"Yeah, it's me alright Bella, that's Paul standing on your other side and Sam is hiding in the trees so no one sees him, he's the biggest of the three of us." he said with a smile in his eyes and I nodded as I wrapped my arms around his neck. "My cousin, I missed you, Paul come here." I said softly and he moved to my side and I gave him a hug and pressed my forehead to his and he started purring at the contact, before doing the same with Jared.
Pressing my forehead to his, his eyes closed and he started purring softly at that the contact. "Now that the memory is back, and I know you're my family, I'm protecting you with my life Bella." he said to me, purring and I wrapped my arms around his neck and he wrapped his head around my shoulder. "I've never been like this around normal wolves, but you guys, it's like it's supposed to be this natural, what's happening."
"Billy what's happening to me here?" I asked and Billy explained that. "The facade she mentioned snapped so whatever he did broke to you broke now. And you're remembering your feelings of safety and happiness when we were together baby. The remark of we are watching you is really code for we're your family, and we were protecting you with our lives now." Jack said and Bily finished that remark gently.
"Your connection to us is reactivating, you're remembering what you were like around me and their fathers baby when we were like this honey. They're the cub versions of Storm and Brown, Shadow is out of town still but his cub is the alpha of their pack and that explains the third growl you heard, before they came out honey. Smokey when I tell you show yourself." he said and I heard a gentle growl answer that gently and I smiled.
As I looked at the spot he was in from the trees next to my house. "Sam is that you?" I asked and I heard his voice through the link. 'Yeah Bella it's me, if you remember what I looked like at the beach, I just got a haircut. But you're seeing me in a bit once we're undercover, but I'm getting the rest of the pack up here.' he said and I nodded to that. "I was like this around you when I was little?" I asked and they both nodded, smiling.
"Yeah we, the quartet and we, were your paternal figures in addition to your father, but your maternal family are Sam and Jared, paternal is the Atearas. Your mother knows, because we're her pack, your parents were part of the council on this side of the line, but this is why you feel so comfortable around us, it's because you were born into this world, it's completely natural to you baby." Jack told me smiling and I went into that.
"That last little remark you made, before burying your head into his fur, you did that with us all the time when you didn't want a nap. You're reflecting your 2, near 3, year old self by being around the boys and me, you can sense I'm one of the adult pack and you're safe around me and Jack, you knew us on sight. Your brothers are cub versions of us." Billy said and I nodded as I looked at him and Jack as I leaned my back against Paul.
"I guess baby me was hanging on to your front paw for a ride when you were like that?" I asked and they both nodded. "Yes, we babysat you like that when you were a toddler, you remember what I looked like when I was that way, you were just as close to me as you were to your quintet. Baby, I'd never hurt you, you're my cub, we'd never hurt anyone, you know that." Jack said and I felt a tear running down my cheek as he looked into my eyes.
'Cub, my cub...' I heard his voice say as a flashback hit me and I looked into the eyes of a rhino, near buffalo, sized wolf with orange fur and blue eyes and I grinned. "You're the orange near buffalo sized wolf?" I asked and he nodded as I burrowed myself into his arms feeling the heat coming off him as several keys fact shot through. "As a wolf you're like a human radiator, you're faster than the vampires are and you heal faster than a normal human." I said and he nodded as he looked at me with a paternal look in his eyes.
"There you see Edward, they're harmless to me. Don't insult my intelligence Edward, he's family, my family is right in front of me. If it's a choice between you or them, I choose my family, Uncle Jack I need to see you like that, show me." I said to him in a whisper and he nodded and let me go and then hid behind the house, before coming out and I smiled as I saw him come out and walk over to me gently with a gentle smile in his eyes.
Standing in front of me was a rhino sized wolf with orange fur and he walked over to me as I saw his eyes and I saw blue eyes and threw my arms around his neck then smiling as I heard him start purring loudly at that. "Bella he's dangerous, get away from him." Edward said again and I shook my head at him. "What's more dangerous to you, then telling me the truth about that stand off in the cars last month when he and Jake were bringing dad's favorite fish fry or me remembering what I was like around him when they're like this."
"After what I've seen so far though I'd say you're more dangerous than they are, because this feels completely natural in my case, and secondly you say you're not dangerously and you could have just landed me back in the emergency room for a relapse. Dad's already furious enough, and with those words here, of the two groupings, so I say they're not dangerous, but you, yourself, are, if you get that physical, because of good intentions."
"And secondly I haven't seen either of them, let alone the quintet in five years, if they're who I was bonded to its a no choice needed, I choose them. They're my parental pack, them, their mates, my mother tasked them with protecting me, well they get their chance. As I said they're harmless to me, whatever abilities I got I can control them easily, Billy's family, Jack a family friend and favorite uncle." I told him and Jack answered that smiling coldly.
"Yeah exactly Cullen, I happen to be a family friend and her favorite surrogate uncle, though she's just as close to our entire pack. To answer you, yes we are, in fact as are the entire council, Dan and Elliot, the nine of us and Beth made up your parental pack. Josh, Eric and Beth are out of town, but you got the seven of us, it's going to be fine now sweetheart. And you're right, we were who you were bonded to first as cub."
"Beth moved to Makah after the hiatus started, just focus on the six of us though we're who you were closest to: me, Billy, Harry, Elliot, Josh and Daniel, you remember us in a different way here though, and me like this is that other way, your memories are coming back by seeing me like this." he said with a soft growl and Billy looked at me."Hey baby, how are you doing, how's the leg?" he asked and I smiled softly at the address he gave me.
"Occasional twinges of pain now after that jolt, but otherwise I'm good, how are you doing exactly." he asked as another car pulled into the driveway and I saw the Clearwaters get out of it. "Harry, Sue, guys, good to see you." I said and they gave me a gentle smile, before Harry gave a warning look to Edward as Sue answered me as she looked at the duo warily. "Elliot told me and I came to help out." Harry told him and he nodded as Rose looked at Sue.
"The jolt triggered a case of paralysis Sue, he's keeping her warm like this by lying across her leg." Rose told her and she nodded to that news. "Get a bit violent when he heard we're half active, did he?" Harry asked Jack and he nodded to him. "Yeah, alright Stormy up, I'm putting her on the hood of Harry's car, the car engine is still hot, so it's going to keep her warm, and I'm still sticking close to her." he said and Paul got up, before he picked me up and sat m across the hood of the car, before Jake did the same and sat next to me.
"We're fine, though I just wanted to check on you to see how you were doing, that leg is going to take three months to heal and you need to let it rest with the fact you got it in two places, I know that story that Alice told us was a lie though, you were attacked by a nomad." Sue said and I sighed and nodded. "Yes and I'll ask how you know that later, but the nomad is dead, but after that attack, I'm suffering nightmares right now." I said and they nodded.
"Terrific, you've been traumatized by your first encounter with a blood thirsty parasite, seeing a first attack is bad enough, but being the victim, it's traumatizing." Billy said with a furious growl. "Well I'm the nurse your mother assigned to you at the moment baby, but that's one reason we came, and the other is a family get together tonight, with the guys working, Daniel declined, though Sam, Jared and Paul, as well as Jessica, Anna and Sally are coming." she said and I nodded as Alice looked at her.
"Family get together?" Alice repeated and she nodded. "Parental gang Alice, her father is our best friend and her aunts happens to be Renee's cousins, and that's Sam's mother Sally and Jared's mother Anna, and Elliot and his family, we're a sextet, though Jack is a friend." she said and Alice nodded. "There's a few blank spots, but they're coming forward Alice, if the adult pack was retired from hunting duty, I think that's why you've been running into company out there lately." I added and she nodded as Edward's eyes narrowed at that.
Before he could answer two more cars pulled into the driveway of my dad's house and I saw an two adult versions of who were my surrogate brothers get out of their cruisers as they both closed the doors with a firm thud and I could tell they were pissed then as they moved to Harry and Billy's side. "Hey baby, you okay?" the one on the left said as I looked at his bracelet and saw turquoise as I thought over his bracelet as his name shot forward.
"Yeah I'm fine Uncle Elliot, but relax, Uncle Jack's already gone furry here, I don't need you guys exploding in public here." I told him as Uncle Daniel answered that. "Nice to see you remember our names now. Alright Cullen, back off now, before we arrest you for a domestic dusturbance and we're too exposed out here as well. Violence in front of the omega is enough you're getting ejected now, so cool it." he said with a warning tone to him.
"How'd get you here so fast?" Jesse asked and he crossed his arms. "Their next door neighbor saw him getting a bit rough with her and contacted us. Charlie's getting off in thirty minutes, but he ordered us to be close by and he's passed that Culen here is aggravating her recovery. Though he's going to see this as an abusive relationship and he's furious enough that her leg is broken, Cullen touch her like that again and you're getting arrested for it and I'm not kidding." he said and ran his hand though my hair and I hid a smile at that.
"Missed you Uncle Daniel, Uncle Elliot, so that's five of six, that just leaves Uncle Josh. Alright so Red, blue, turquoise, bronze, burgundy and sky blue, I'm green, mom was wearing a green clan bracelet around her wrist, you're the navy blue. So forest green and Navy blue, that makes Jared's bracelet, red and green that's Sam, while I'm intertwined with Jake, right?" I asked and the quintet all nodded proudly then, smiling.
"Yes that's right baby, Sam, Jared, Paul and Leah, they were your quintet as toddler, we just got you back. That picture of you we had with each of us was actually a family pack group photo, we got that one taken before your parents divorced. You've been wearing your bracelets every summer since you came to see us baby." Elliot said and I smiled as I gave him a hug, as that did it for Edward as he looked at him and Daniel with a look of hate.
"What are you doing here Clearwater, Black, Denali, and who the heck are you two exactly?" Edward asked with a wary tone and Daniel answered that firmly. "I'm Daniel Trueheart, and this is Elliot Lehote, or to get more formal here, Officers Lehote and Trueheart, we're cops Cullen, and I can and will arrest you if you touch her like that again, now back off now. Go home she's safe with us, we're her family, we can take care of her, so go home now." Daniel told him sternly as Billy finished that remark then as the five surrounded me.
Before he could say it, I did it for him. "Edward, as I said they're family, I'm not giving them up, so if you're asking me to choose between you and them, it's a no brainer, I choose my parents and the pack. You see we're in our own version of Charmed and you're acting like Cole Turner. I found my family and with those words in mind, I choose my family and my birthright over you now." I told him sternly and he looked at me in shock as Billy said it.
"To answer the second question Edward, it's simple if the five of us decided to keep her company and with us, our children. Charlie called a get together and invited us over for dinner and game night. It's a family get together tonight actually Edward, fact of the matter is that Eric, Harry, Josh, Daniel, Elliot and I are friends of the Swan/Marquez clan. She hasn't had any family gang time since she moved here, with you getting her into whatever mess we had that landed her in the hospital last month and believe me we're all pissed at that."
"Her parents are friends of the tribe council." he said and I felt my shock go through me, as Harry took it further as I heard his tone take on a paternal growl to it, a growl that sounded like the growl of a wolf as he said it. "Where you're concerned, I'd call this emotionally unhealthy if anything causes you to take off on her, because of a minor mistake on her part. You think that would put you in a good standing with Charlie if you just upped and left."
"Leaving us to deal with her emotional wellbeing Cullen, your father is medical doctor, I'm looking at Stockholm syndrome and you're the root cause here, you're about to start work on Romeo and Juliet next semester, before Julius Ceasar next year. Shakespeare right, well Shakespeare and his plays were full of tragedy, hence forth the Montagues and Capulets, it's the 13th century version of the West Side Story play at the time here." Sue said to him with a protective growl as the adult male trio looked at him coldly as I exchanged looks with their cub versions who had the exact same look I had at that mark.
"Who are your cub versions exactly if that's my future?" I asked and Billy answered that. "You're looking at them baby, your toy wolves are us if we were wolves and their cub versions of us. So I'll give you two guesses but you're only going to need one, my toy wolf version I gave you is the cub version of what I look like if I was a wolf." he told me and I looked at my friend at that. "Jake my toy wolf is you if you were a wolf." I said and he smiled as he gave me a hug then.
"If I'm your toy wolf than the rest of the pack are the guys." he said and we both looked at Seth and Jesse. "I got to check the collars of those guys, if you're initials are on them, that's all I need to know that you're who I want meant to be with, because you're the first of the pack the adult pack got me Jake." I said and he nodded to that in agreement to that.
"Alice, she came here, because you were meant to re-introduce her back into our world. I just wasn't expecting that portion to result in landing her in the ICU last month. Do me a favor and pass this message to your leader. But if something happens and you leave for whatever reason, she's got us and our sons, I know you're picking up the odor, but we can protect her, easily, she's safe with us." Billy said and she nodded as her eyes widened.
"You may say you're protecting her from her own family, but what you really are is abusing her emotionally Cullen. I see all the classic signs of an abusive boyfriend and relationship here young man, shall I name them off: once you come into contact with her you react violently, your temperament when she was asking questions, you get overly territorial of her, if she wanted spend time with us, as parental friends, you'd go to any lengths to prevent it."
"Well all I have to do is make one call to Carlisle and he's hearing the truth now rather than the message I know you're not going to tell him. Said truth we sent Jake as our representative to tell her the added warning: said warning, 'we're watching', I believe you know what that means Cullen, if this red headed woman and her friend return, and you leave for any reason. She's protected by us, her family, her paternal pack and parental pack, our kids were raised together from infancy." he said and Edward looked at him in shock.
"Who is Renee to you exactly?" he asked and Billy crossed his arms. "She's my omega Cullen, the Marquez clan have been the omegas for mine for five generations and you met her grandmother 79 years ago. The name she gave you was an alias, when she retired, her real name is Renee Josephine Marquez, read the fine print here, you break the treaty you're getting banished. And while you can't cross onto our land, we can come onto yours."
"What stories I used to tell her are advantage if she's around you all the time, but here's a little piece to it, you just proved a single fact, that you can be destroyed by being torn apart and burned. Where do think she's going to hear that next, the venom is like lighter fluid and your clothes soak in the venom and one lit match or lighter and you cease to exist. Well she's hearing the histories once again, she hears the truth and she's back with us."
"The Swan house is hereby under the treaty, the wolves can protect her and Charlie as of now." he said, his tone taking on a heavy set tone and I realized it then. "Billy what was the family run business within the tribe, I can hear a resonating tone in your voice that sounds almost natural, like you're my leader?" I asked and Jake answered that in pride. "Dad's the high chief of the Quileute tribe and the elders run the council." he told me and I nodded.
"My son is the next High Chief of the Quileure tribe, but the pack are the council. Your mother was part of the council on this part of the line, you were born to a very high birthright, that's what you're sensing in my voice, you're reacting to my voice, like you know you're going to repeat my declarations and orders. Being an omega is coming naturally now, with you hearing that heavy set tone in my voice." Billy told me and Harry finished that.
"With the adult beta out of town, your alpha is his son and with those words, it's your responding to your instincts. Our beta may not be here, but his son is, our beta is the grandson of Levi Uley, in essence Alpha, Omega, Beta, Alpha's third, Alpha's fourth. In order, you got three out of four here in the front lawn right now, and with those words, the treaty is exact, you break it, you're getting banished from Olympia, I promise you."
"Just hearing this you're plotting to prevent her from seeing us the rest of the summer, I can see it in your eyes Cullen, unfortunately for you. Once you're out of the picture she bonds to us and you are no longer a memory, but a non entity after that, which I'm sure your sister would be relieved about, she misses everything about being human. She hears Bella is related by adoption and blood to four of the sextet you five met, and it's over."
"You're playing the part of the Jets and their group, we're the Sharks, S.E. Hinton, Shakespeare, and Westside Story, same message, and that brings it to Underworld. Well let me tell you something, a much healthier choice here is Jake or her own kind. Her own kind, her soul is a wolf, you are a lion, lions with lions, wolves with wolves, she's a Capulet, you're a Montague, and this would never work. You may have saved her, but unfortunately for you, she sees us as we are and who we were, and compared to you, we're a healthier look to it."
"In fact we're fire, you're ice, with us she lives the life she wants, with you it's nothing but a long waste of time. Two the imprint keeps her young till her imprinter decides to stop, three she doesn't have to give up a chance to have a kids and a family and her pack is part of the extended family, along with us." Harry added and with that he tone went firm as he looked at him, his brown eyes turning into that of a father and his tone went dangerous.
"As for your thoughts on us as dangerous, we're not, in fact so long as nobody tests our tempers, we're harmless to everyone. But let me make this clear to you now, but there weren't three you met, but four Edward, my name is Harry Joseph Clearwater, I'm the grandson of Joseph Clearwater, the sextet you met then three you met in the woods, and six you met when the treaty was born. And their Cubs are running around and you caused three to phase. To put this bluntly, you triggered a walking time bomb by moving back here."
"If you saw the quartet of wolves in the photos on the wall, and remember the quartet your family encountered then, I'm the exact same color as Joseph, it's hereditary. As is her skills of being a human wolf and with those words in mind, nothing you do is going to take her away from us or her pack. Renee Swan/Dwyer was born Renee Josephine Marquez, grand daughter of Tala Marquez Edward, who you also encountered eighty years ago."
"Cullen, she's going to find out sooner or later by us, but believe me, you break that order that Renee gave Carlisle and you're screwed, now that's a fair warning and key piece in the treaty right now." he said and Jake wrapped his arm around my back gently at that. "I'd say you're more of a threat to her than I am, Clearwater." he said with a growl and Billy answered that dangerously, and I knew he was furious at the remark.
"Sweetheart, come here." Harry said and I walked over to him and he wrapped his arms around me to keep me warm and feeling the heat radiate off his body I burrowed into his arms, before hearing a loud purring coming from him. 'Cub it's okay, it's me baby, you're safe now. Leach, she's my youngest girl cub, I'm not giving her up, give it your best shot, but the truth will set you free, I promise you.' I heard a voice say and looked into his eyes.
"Is that you doing the talking or is it someone else?" I asked Harry and he smiled at me. "That's my spirit wolf you just heard baby, and he is right, you are my youngest girl cub, I will not lose you to immortality, we can give you everything he can't. Including the so called fountain of youth, because once imprinted on, you stay young forever, till your imprinter decides to stop phasing and you age with your mate." He told me and I nodded to him.
Before I could say it, I heard a second voice, this time from my heart. 'Bella don't give in to Cullen's spell we already have everything we need and want, we belong to Jake, our gang, our pack is right here, you don't have to give up your mortality just to find your mate. We already have everything we want. We came home for a specific reason, it's time for us to take our place among our tribe now.' I heard and I gave a mental nod to that.
"Oh yeah Edward, well let me ask you something, you think her parents would care if she chose me instead, when Charlie watched me grow up. So we get into a little trouble, it's makes life fun, she doesn't have to change things for me, we can be ourselves with each other." Jake said to him firmly. "You hear that song, 'Everything I do', well that reflects this, take me as I am, take my life, and I would give up everything for her." he added to him.
"If I'd seen you first, and you imprinted on me, you're mine after that." I said to him and he smiled. "Wolves imprint on their mates Bells, that's how we find our rightful mate, if the legends are true, I know you're mine, but would you care, if you saw me as my spirit wolf?" he asked and I shook my head. "No I wouldn't, if there was a single flaw it's your temper, but I can control that, it's like you were chosen just for me." I said and he hugged me tightly.
Before he could say it, I saw a black furred wolf walk out of the woods and over to me and he nudged me in the shoulder and I chuckled and gave him a gentle scratching behind the ears and he started purring at that. "Hey buddy, dropping into protect the Swan house?" He asked and I heard a voice answer that through the wolf's growl. 'Yeah Jake, in truth here, with what I've seen, this guy is more emotional abuse than anything.' he said to him softly.
"You're not dangerous, are you buddy?" I asked and he gave a purring growl in answer to that. "You're here to protect me from the monster that just attacked me last month right?" I asked and he gave a second purring growl to answer me. Before burying his head into my shoulder and I hid a smile at the response as I wrapped both arms around his neck and he started purring loudly at that in response as the adult trio smiled at that.
"It seems to me that compared to you if you started showing off your abilities to her, she was scared of you, but when around them, she's completely relaxed and he's acting like a wolf brother to her. So tell me who's the dangerous one here, because I'm training our sons and he's the oldest of the trio I'm training at the moment." Harry asked and the black furred wolf looked at the guys and with a smile of brotherly love in his eyes as Harry went further.
"No I'd say you're the dangerous one, we'd never hurt her Cullen, in fact we helped raise her, her parents are friends of ours and to us and the rest of the Quileute high council she's our baby girl. Bella, you've got the ability to soothe our wolves." Harry said and I nodded. "I can calm the spirit wolf huh, okay, yes, alright uh..." I said and turned to him, and started to say his name and then saw his fur had brown mixed into the black, like smoke, and grinned.
"Smokey, Smokey just relax, I don't want an altercation when we're too exposed out here, okay." I said, naming him after my miniature version of him and he nodded to me, but rubbed his head against my shoulder. 'I can protect you like this Bella, this is what we are, I'm not a threat, you can sense that, just don't make us angry, it's dangerous.' I heard a voice say and I nodded to the order gently. "I'll call you Smokey then, I take it your paternal wolf is jet black, if you're a cub?" I asked and he nodded with a smile in his eyes.
"I am, but if dad gave you a toy wolf that looks like me, my initials are on the collar along with his, my surname is Uley." he said and I nodded. "Well that explains why you showed up now, you're the beta for the adult pack at the moment with the guys in school. Edward he's right, if I can soothe their wolves this easily, they're not a danger to me no matter your opinion, if Smokey here is more than a friend, I'm a relative, now enough." I said to him.
"Why's your fur got brown mixed into the strands?" I asked and he chuckled. "I'm not entirely sure, but if I'm really a cub, than I've got six or seven years, before I'm jet black in fur coloring, but to any outside observer don't say my name outloud, just call me by my new nickname. We can say I'm the wolf for the Uley clan in public." he said with a growl as the duo hid a smile at our conversation as Billy refocused.
"We're not the ones that nearly got her turned into a bloodsucker Cullen, if you'd have just left her alone, she wouldn't be recovering from a broken leg. Get a look into my head Cullen, see what she is to us, and for the record, we're not attracted to blood, human or otherwise, our strength we can control easily, as do our tempers and we'd never hurt another human, unless a human hurts another human, you're more dangerous than we are."
"In fact she's at no risk with us at all Cullen, with us she's able to grow up as normally as possible, we can give her everything you can't. As if that's not enough, you really think she'd give us up once she knows that truth, of who the three of us are to her, her memories come back and she sees us like she remembers us. Well she'd never let us go, we can give her everything you'd deny her if she chose you Cullen, family, a place to belong."
"My son can give her more than you can, and the imprint would be the same as you stealing away her mortality, just without taking her soul when doing it, she doesn't have to change for us, or say goodbye to anyone, just be a human werewolf and when my son imprints on her that's it, you're out of the picture, she belongs to my son after that. Your red eyed buddy paid the price, but if they come back and they're getting roasted."
"You any idea just how close the guys came to all going at once, my entire pack is pissed at this. Had they phased all at once not only would the leader be dead as would you had she died right in front of us and the treaty would be moot Cullen, you and your family would be gone and she'd be living safely on the reservation. Now I'm making it very clear here, but there is going to be no tug a war for her affections, if she chooses, it's of her own free will."
"Her mother is the very thing you're trying to take away from our kids, it's not going to work Cullen, she belongs to us. So if you've seen my thoughts you know what she is to me and Harry, Josh, Daniel and Elliot, fair warning here Cullen, you cross that line you won't have to worry about the leadership killing you for exposing her to your world, because we're going to do it, you turned her into a trouble magnet. You ever try your weapons on her or do anything to violate that treaty, you're screwed here and I mean that." he said to him with a icy growl.
Finishing that remark, Harry gave a parting shot to him coldly, and I saw him shaking slightly. "Honey calm down, you're not ready yet." Sue said to him and he relaxed as he looked at him. "Cullen she will learn that truth, whether you want her to or not. So send a message to Carlisle for me, 'but we're watching her, protecting her', if anything happens, she's our responsibility after that, and tell that to your tribe." he said with a warning tone in his voice and Edward nodded as he left me surrounded by my father's best friends.
"Uley, your surname is Uley, what's yours first name exactly?" I asked looking at the black furred wolf next to me. "My name is Sam, if he said our fathers were friends of yours, I'm probably either your big brother or something even stronger, but that's my color wolf pendant wrapped into your necklace, I'm red, and Jared is navy blue." he said looking at my necklace and I nodded as I looked at the adult duo with a smile.
"I met Jared and Paul already, but if you're my cousin, than we just found each other again, our lives are fused together as one and if you five were who I was closest to you, it's returning to the way it used to be." I told him and he nudged me in the shoulder with a smile in his blue eyes as the trio surrounded me with smiles on their furry faces as the adult trio smiled at the declaration then as I looked at them to go into conversation.
"I knew mom and dad were pissed at this, and the fact I broke my leg, but how do you know what he is exactly, I've never seen you take that tone with someone since I got back?" I asked and Billy looked at me. "To answer the second question it's because you're more than you think to us baby, though gone for five years, it doesn't change the fact that, to us, you're still that five year old cub we remember." Harry said and I hid a smile at the wording.
"To answer the first question though, but to us, as we're descended from wolves, we know, because each species have a distinct odor to it, for the opposite group and he knows what we are, because the last time he smelt it. And when exactly, is because he met our grandfathers, the quartet he and the quartet met that day were my grandfather, Ephraim Black, Levi Uley and Quil Ateara." He said and I nodded as Billy finished his sentence.
"Jake's full name is Jacob Ephraim Black, to him he knows what that means, because Carlisle wrote up the treaty, this red eyed leach that bit you, he pays the price for it by death by getting torn apart and burned. They slaughtered seven lives and they're getting executed for it." he said and I nodded as Jake picked me up and sat me on the hood of my truck. Looking into his eyes I pressed my forehead to his as I wrapped my hand around the nape of his neck and I heard a slight purring at that.
Feeling something change in me I looked at Jake and then looked at Billy and back again and chuckled. "Mini me to you Billy?" I asked and he nodded to me smiling. "Yes the boys are cub versions of us and I mean that literally, Jake is my cub version, Seth is Harry's and it's the same for the rest of the pack, aside from Embry and Leah, though her adult version is Jeanie." he said and I nodded as Edward's remark the night before shot through me.
"He said there were many that were the other version and I ran into three. Though I don't think the trouble just ended yet, if Victoria is out for revenge, what's the difference, if you hate the Cullens this much?" I asked and he sighed. "Wait never mind I already know, it's the eyes, red means human drinker, gold means animal, but the difference is choice of living and these nomads are out of their bloody minds and I just started something." I said and the trio all nodded to confirm that remark as he answered me
"Yes exactly, you got it right, this was first lesson in your training, but you got caught in the middle of it. But to answer your question. The ones that kill humans have blood red eyes and the ones that hunt animals have gold. Though you met the Cullens first, you weren't ready to face the more dangerous side of the legends, not when you just came home baby, if you'd been with us first you'd see the safe side of the legends first."
"Before you met these leaches, what do you sense around us when around Harry, Jack and me?" he said and I smiled, before I shuddered at the memory of the attack. "Compared to what I've seen so far, you're not dangerous at all, it's completely natural to be around you. After what I saw that night though, I never want to see a vampire battle like that again, because he tore out the jugular of the leader, and I was going into shock by the time the quartet showed up." I told him and he nodded as he rolled his chair closer to me.
"I can understand that sweetheart, truth is when we went hunting, I made sure we took our prey behind bushes or chased them into the trees so you girls wouldn't have to see us like that when we're in hunting mode. You don't remember, but what's the feeling of normalcy for you when around us with what I just told him?" he asked and I smiled. "That you're completely familiar, in fact your eyes are opening up a vein, like I remember them."
"Just in another way, and you're completely familiar to me. Almost like family, blood, you're almost familiar to me." I said and he smiled in relief as he nodded to my necklace, as he looked at my bracelet and smiled as he nodded to it. "Do you remember where you got the pendant for that necklace, the pendants were added on every year. The first was two were created when you were born, but do you remember where you got the bracelets from baby?" he asked softly and I shook my head as the trio were standing on both sides of me.
