History and Looking Forward
A lot has happened in the last few years. Jacob and I haven't gotten married but we do live together away from my family. We have a house that sits on the old treaty line; half of the house sits on either side. The house is larger than my family's main house. Much of it is glass like the main house but instead of being mainly white inside it has warm earth colors that reflect the forest outside. My grandma Esme designed it and we all worked together to build it. It's not what I wanted in a house as far as size but with an ever growing pack I guess it has to be this large. No one really knows why the packs keep growing. Other than my family there haven't been any vampires in La Push or Forks since the Volturi came eight years ago.
Both Sam and Jake are still alphas. There are still daily patrols that run twice an hour by each pack making a total of four patrols. The paths of the patrols have changed though. Sam's pack runs the original boundary of the reservation to about 100 yards past my house into the Cullen land. Jake's pack runs the boundary of the Cullen land to about 100 yards past Emily's house. This creates an overlap zone that covers both of our houses and the main populated area of La Push. The two packs run patrols in alternating intervals of time so the overlap zone gets patrolled every ten to fifteen minutes. Some of the wolves think the patrol is pointless to run but since the packs keep growing there must be some threat to the people of La Push.
In fact three days ago both packs practically doubled in size. There are like 30 or so wolves now. I haven't met any of the new wolves yet. Sam and Jake have had them camping in the field my family plays baseball in for training. I'm sure I'll get to know them quickly though. Usually I have at least eight of the current wolves at my house all times. Some of them even live with us permanently to keep the secret from their family about them being wolves. Both packs have been at mine and Jake's house more than Sam and Emily's recently though. Normally we take turns hosting both packs but they are excepting their first child in a few months so the pack has been giving them space. Even though there are two packs we try to treat them all as one pack as much as possible. Emily and I take turns caring for the pack. We alternate each weekend and during the week they come and go between our houses.
All of the wolves are coming for breakfast this morning since Jake and Sam have decided that they have finished training camp. Rachel, Kim, and Claire came over early because they wanted to make breakfast. It would normally have been Emily's weekend but the girls have been taking over for her the last few months. Don't get me wrong they always help out with the cooking on the weekends. All three of them are in the kitchen cooking along with Kenna. I've been taking care of Emily while Sam has been busy with the new wolves. I have been taking advantage of my free time this morning to do some cleaning. Since Emily is in the living room relaxing while waiting for Sam.
Kenna isn't an imprint but she knows all about the pack and my family. About a week ago while Leah, Grandpa and I were out hunting we saved her. She only had a broken wrist but she found out about us do to what we had to do to save her. She had been hiking in the mountains and fell from a cliff when her safety equipment failed. Kenna determined that we weren't human when we had to climb down to her and then get her off the cliff without any equipment. Of the wolves Kenna only know Leah, Sam and Jake but she seems to like the idea of living with us more than my family of vampires.
As I came out of my room I heard a lot of noise so I walked over to the railing and looked down to the foyer below. Both packs were there arguing about something, they were both yelling and growling. Jake, Sam, Leah, Embry, Jared, and Paul were all in a line between them separating the two packs. I watched the scene unfold in front of me for a good ten minutes unnoticed.
"Enough" I shouted, authority ringing in my voice. They all stopped to look up at me. "All of you sit now." They all sat where they stood as I walked down the stairs to be in front of them. If something like this hadn't happened before I would have scared myself. Jake and Sam still stood in the middle of the two groups.
"Jacob, Samuel alphas too" they immediately fallowed my command as well.
"What's going on?"
"No worries Emily I've got it. Can you check on the food?" She walked back out of the room I hadn't meant to use it on Emily too. Sometimes I have no control of it but I hope I gain some soon. I heard Jared's voice as I talked to Emily.
"Jared is there something you want to share with the rest of the pack?"
"I was just answering a question Ness."
"Which was?"
"In the words of Kyle" he said looking to the young boy behind him. "What the hell just happened? I was telling him that Ness, Jake's imprint can use the alpha command and it works over both packs and the imprints for her. We think is has something to do with the fact that real wolves have alpha pairs." He finished looking at me.
"Now that we have that clear someone tell me what you guys were fighting about." Eight or so of them started to talk at once. I could hear them all but that was not the point. There are too many of them to let them act like children.
"Quite, I said someone not all of you. Leah please explain."
"They were arguing about patrol times and who has to take the first shifts."
"Jared, Embry, Paul do you guys have anything to add?" They all looked down and said no at once.
"Alright then, Collin what is the number one rule for the house?"
"Don't let Paul; Embry or Jared put alcohol in your drink."
"That's for parties. Brady, do you know what it is?"
"No running naked through the house." I sighed as some of them laughed.
"True but there is one that comes before that one. Seth, do you care to try?"
"There is absolutely no fighting in the house. Fighting is to be done outside on the lawn. Any plants and grass that is up rooted must be replaced. And for god's sake don't ruin the garden Esme spends a lot of time on it."
"Very nice Seth, I'm glad someone listens." I moved to stand over Jake and Sam. I didn't have to say anything they both apologized for letting the packs fight inside.
"As far as what you guys were arguing about it should be up to the alphas to decide who has patrol when and who is in each patrol group. And if they can't decide then I will do it. Now there are some things that have to be done before you can have breakfast. Jake, Sam I need you to take your second and third alphas and set up more chairs and tables in the dining room. Brady, Collin, Quil and Seth go set the tables, the table clothes are in the laundry room lien closet. The rest of you go to the living room or family room to wait without fighting."
Everyone went where they were directed. I turned to go back up stairs to finish my work but stopped when I notice the three girls standing by the door that I hadn't seen before.
"Do you girls need anything?" I asked sweetly having calmed down when everyone else left they foyer.
"Leah told us to ask you about different clothes." The one closest to the stairs said.
"Of course, fallow me." I lead them to the down stairs guest room. "This closet always has clothes for you girls wear. I have an aunt that lives to shop so don't worry about ruining anything when you phase. The boys ruin clothes all the time." Alice always keeps this closet full for the imprints and Leah, even though they all have a full closet in their rooms upstairs.
"Wow, are you sure? Some of this looks really expensive."
"Don't worry about it. My name is Renesmee but you can call me Ness or Nessie though."
"Thank you I'm Roxi."
"Yeah, thank you. I'm Asher and this is my twin Maple."
"You're welcome and nice to meet you. Sorry about earlier. I'm not as good at Sam and Jake at controlling the alpha command. I only learned about month ago that I could use it."
"Wow"
"Yeah, well anyway I'll leave you girls to shower and change whatever you need help yourselves. " I walked out of the room closing the door behind me.
