"What the hell did you do to him?" I screeched, pushing Sam's chest. I heard a growl but I kept my focus on Sam.
"What did we do? What did he do? What did he tell you?" The man who growled asked.
"Paul, cool it." Sam warned. I turned my glare from Sam to the man named Paul. He was as tall as Sam, so I was about chest-level. Instead of craning my neck, I just yelled into his chest.
"Nothing! He told me absolutely nothing because he's scared of you!" Paul barked out a cruel laugh and began shaking. I finally looked up at him and froze when I looked into his eyes. They were a dark brown, almost black. He stopped shaking immediately and went slack-jawed with an expression of pure awe on his face. One of the other guys, Jared, I think, laughed out loud, breaking me out of my trance.
"Oh man, Paul's gonna die!" He guffawed.
"Yeah, Jacob's gonna kill him." Embry agreed.
"Who is Jacob gonna kill and why?" A new voice sounded from behind us. I turned and saw Jacob sauntering towards us. Only, he wasn't Jacob. Well, he was, but... not my Jacob. His hair had been chopped off. He was shirtless and over 6 feet tall. But most of all, he was ripped. He stopped and frowned when he saw me. "Bella. What are you doing here?" He asked through clenched teeth as he began vibrating. He took a step towards me.
"Bella, get back!" Sam ordered, just as soon as Paul started shaking and growled. He pushed me behind him and growled at Jacob.
Paul's POV
"What the hell did you do to him?" The leech-lover screeched, hitting Sam's chest. I couldn't resist it; I growled.
"What did we do? What did he do? What did he tell you?" I snarled. I could vaguely hear Sam's warning to calm down. She turned to me, glaring at my chest. She couldn't have been any taller than 5'7" but she was pulled to her full height and she looked like an angry kitty.
"Nothing! He's told me absolutely nothing because he's scared of you!" She hissed. I snorted and started shaking. She finally had the decency to look up at my face. I saw her eyes scan my face before connecting with my eyes. Suddenly, the world around me disappeared. All that mattered was my Bella. Her eyes were deep pools of warm chocolate that could see right through me to my soul. Man, I sound like a pussy already.
"Oh man, Paul's gonna die!" Jared laughed, but I was still focused on Bella.
"Yeah, Jacob's gonna kill him." Embry agreed.
"Who is Jacob gonna kill and why?" Jacob's voice drifted from behind Bella. She broke our connection and looked at Jacob. He stopped walking for a minute and narrowed his eyes at her.
"Bella. What are you doing here?" He asked coldly. I held back a growl. How dare he speak to my imprint like she's not welcome here? He began vibrating and took a step towards my Bella. My wolf, sensing a threat, howled to get to the surface. I growled at Jacob and crouched in front of Bella in a defensive position. Jacob growled back at me and lunged, phasing on the fly. I pushed Bella back gently but firmly and phased, going at Jacob.
You're not allowed to hurt her. Jacob snarled.
Please. Why would I hurt my imprint? I asked, growling.
Imprint?!
