Jacob thought it hilarious that the pack and the elders decided to conduct a meeting once his uncle Charlie spread the new around their reservation that his cousin Bella was coming home from college. The ones in the pack that were long life friends, such as him of course, Jared, and Leah, were excited. The older ones, Sam, the elders which consisted of his father Billy and his Uncle Charlie Black, Harry Clearwater and his wife, Sam's mother Jennifer Uley, and the most concerned, Old man Quil Altera.

It wasn't a secret that Bella was different. She had this way about her that caused most people to gravitate towards her. She was beautiful, smart, funny, and sometimes mean. But most of all, she was a legend all in her own right. Anything you dare her to do, or anything she thinks of doing, she just does it.

Jake chuckled when Old man Quil shot a dark look at Charlie and Billy.

"You better keep that girl in line when she arrives. That girl is a danger to this tribe and herself!" He wailed

"She's not that bad, she's just spirited." Charlie muttered rolling his eyes.

In his mind he did admit that his daughter was a little insane. Cliff diving naked while high at 15, in the dark, he was embarrassed when he had to arrest her. Being the Chief of Police on the reservation mean he was highly respected alongside his older brother William, or Billy – The Chief of their tribe. There also was the time she jumped off the Council Hall's roof on a pile of mattresses when one of the neighborhood children told her she couldn't do it.

She broke her arm, and knocked her front tooth out, but the proud smile and the shine in her eyes didn't let her feel down. She was as perky as a peacock until her next stunt, which was after her arm healed. She was 11 at the time.

Charlie thought maybe it was because she hadn't a mother after she died, along with Sarah, his brother's wife. Both died right after each other. The Black family lost Sarah first, due to a drunken driving accident, then Renee to an "animal" attack on a family vacation in Maine visiting her family. Most of the older generations while they respected their leader, they frowned upon Charlie marrying and having children with a white woman. So they said it was the pale face blood mixed with their own that caused her to be reckless and crazy.

"She ran Deputy Quinn's car into my shed! That girl is insane!" Old man Quil shouted in argument.

His grandson Quil growled at that. He had been pissed because he had to rebuild it, not to mention most of the things were ruined, family things that could never be replaced.

"Oh shut your trap Quil. It wasn't even your shed!" Leah screamed.

Sue Clearwater sighed, and rested her hand on her daughters shaking arm, only to smirk at Embry for rubbing her back in a soothing manner. He was a sweet boy, while he was a few years younger than her daughter; she couldn't deny that the imprint and devotion between the two healed her daughter's soul from the horrific incident with Sam.

"It's been years since Bella has been back with us. She's gone off on her own for college and no doubt has matured and grown up. Let us just see how things are, before we pass judgement. The past is the past, and maybe you should give her a chance." Sue said calmly but her voice was firm.

Isabella Marie Black was her god daughter damn it, and she loved that girl regardless of how reckless and scary she was. She was deviated when Sarah died, and damn near catatonic after she discovered the body of her mother. Sarah and Renee had been Sue's best friends, just as their husbands had been. They all made pacts with each other, and took turns being godparents and maid of honors and every other female bond best friends share, together. When Bella got her period, Sue was the one to buy her first pack of panty liners and pads, when she was ready for the tampons; she went with Bella to pick them out. Same with Leah, those girls were joined at the hip since birth, well since Leah could walk seeing as she's younger than Bella. But the difference isn't important. That girl was loved and she would be damned if she was welcomed back after returned from such a long stay away.

Sue would make damn sure, along with the imprints, that Bella be welcomed.

Besides, she had to have outgrown her stunt days, right?

"What of our secrets though. As said, Bell hasn't been home in years. She knows nothing of us wolfing out, or that those fucking parasites live in Forks. How do we keep this from her? She's smart, and very fucking observant. She's going to find out." Jared stressed and leaned forward looking at the Elders and Sam, their Pack Alpha for the time being.

Jake and Leah looked at each other and had to voice their agreement in muttered yeah and that's rights.

"Oh hell." Old Quill muttered and rolled his eyes then looked around at the other elders, mostly Charlie.

"We will worry about it, when and if, the time comes. None of you little shits better not imprint on my angel, I know that." Charlie hissed as he glowered at the non-imprinted wolves.

If Jacob wasn't his nephew and if Bella and Jacob weren't blood related, he would find Jacob to be a promising suitor for his princess. Quil was out of the question, that boy was a certain kind of special and he didn't mean it in a positive way either. He was more like a slower personality of SpongeBob and that sponge fucker was stupid as shit. Paul, that huge fucker actually scared him a little but he never once let it show. But he definitely better not imprint on Charlie's princess, he didn't want that kind of karma put on him. Paul scared him because Paul reminded Charlie of his younger self, and then there was the anger and the fact he was a loose cannon, and a man whore.

"Dude, what if she isn't hot anymore." Quil whispered to himself, but he wasn't as quiet as he wished he was.

Billy placed his heavy hand on his younger brother's shoulder to keep him in his chair. He didn't need anybody hurt. Charlie was a big motherfucker, always had been, but Quil was a wolf, and no matter how stupid he made himself seem, he would defend himself.

"She will arrive tomorrow night; keep the wolf information to yourself. Bella is one of us, if she finds out, then we will deal with it when it comes. Now leave us be, the elders have other matters to discuss." Billy ordered, his voice carrying a deep tone that cemented his statement.

He waited until the last wolf was out, before he rounded on Old Quil.

"How much time do we have until her fate comes forth? And can we not warn her before it happens. I'm afraid she wouldn't be too pleased being kept in the dark. The Pack is one thing, trivial, but when it is a matter of her life…." He whispered looking between his brother and their mentor, the Tribal shaman.

Old man Quil sighed because he understood the brother's worry. He wanted to warn his grandson, but he couldn't. But maybe just maybe depending on what the spirits tell him, considering she was important, well maybe she could be prepared.

"I'll consult with the spirits, just make sure those across the border do not come near her. I must stress this young Charlie Black, keep that girl in line, we can't have her triggering anything prematurely. It isn't time yet, and we all know her personality." He muttered.

Everybody nodded and agreed. They would make her transition home as smooth as they could. They just hadn't seen her in a while, besides Charlie. He took trips three times a year to visit her in England. She had gotten a scholarship for a literature program, he didn't know the specifics just that his baby girl had a big brain and loved reading. And he was damn proud of her for having a dream and claiming it as her own.

Outside Leah over hears the conversation. She didn't know what they meant about Bella's fate and whatever secretive shit they were keeping, but she was going to make sure her best friend wasn't in the dark about everything. Seriously what the fuck did the spirits have to do with Bella's fate? Leah was lost, and now worried, and ran to catch up with Jacob. He would know what to do, cousins or not, he was pretty much Bella's brother too.
