Recap:

They watched as a smirk grew across her lips yet nothing friendly was seen in her eyes towards Bella. "Hello Isabella. Long time no see." She said with a bored tone never once dropping the aggressive look in her eyes or the smirk on her face.

Chapter 2

Stacie's Pov

Three years. That is how long it has been since I buried my other half, my life, my beautiful little twin sister. Three years since I saw her smile, laugh, or get onto me for my temper. Three years since I saw that leech rape and drain her while I could do nothing. Three long years since my pack showed up and turned me. Let me explain a little bit. I am Stacie and I was once a normal teenage girl, well as normal as a girl with photographic memory who graduated high school at 14 could get. My sister, Lucy, was my life. I always protected her and made sure she was happy and in turn she kept me grounded and out of trouble. We were the others rock. What she lacked I made up for and what I lacked she made up for. After the horrible incident at our birth mother's house with that selfish bitch Isabella, our supposed to be baby sister, I was never the same. Watching the one person who has been there for you your entire life die is the worst experience ever. When that leech was done with my sister it turned to me but before it could come any closer my pack came. It was then I learned of the supernatural world. Vampires and shapeshifters walked among us humans and the thought of it sent my mind spinning. They told me everything of their world and told me how some shifters only shift due to bloodline but others, like them, can change any normal human with a specific bite from the alpha of the pack. It was then they offered to change me and give me the strength and support to take care of myself and help others to not go through the same pain as I had with my sister. So I went through the funeral, moved all of my sisters finances into my name, and let the alpha of the pack change me. I am now beta of a pack of panthers. We are stronger and faster than both vampires and bloodline shifters. We also can mask our scents and keep vampire gifts from effecting us if we so wish. I am a little different. For some unknown reason I can tell what gift a vampire has just by looking at them. Now I am standing here in front of the one person I hate more than anything because my dad wanted me to at least try once to get to know the people she calls friends and family. He also wants to see if she and I could ever get along. I didn't have the heart to tell him that I would never forgive her.

"Stacie." Isabella said breathlessly as if she was afraid I would snap her head off for speaking to me. I have to say the idea wasn't horrible. "Let's just get this over with so I can go see dad and then get moved in to my new house please." I said with the same bored tone as always. I started on my right with the introductions of my pack. "I already know that you are vampires" I said while pointing to the Cullen's who were now shocked "and that you are shapeshifters and if the legends I heard were right I would have to say wolves is what you turn in to." I said turning to the group of shifters who also were stunned. "The couple who got off the bike is Leo, our alpha, and his mate Jasmine. The redhead that rode with me is Jace and he is third in command of our pack. To my left are Lisa and Julie. The easiest way to tell them apart is Lisa has blue eyes and Julie has grey. For those of you who don't know my name is Stacie." I said ending the introductions on my part.

I watched as everyone stood still absorbing the information they were given. Finally after 5 to 10 minutes of waiting a short haired blond man stepped forward and started to speak. "My name is Carlisle Cullen and this is my wife and mate Esme Cullen. The man with Bella is my son Edward Cullen and next to his is my daughter Alice Cullen. To my right are Emmett Cullen and his wife and mate Rosalie Hale and my other son Jasper Hale." I stood and studied each of the bloodsuckers carefully as to assess who had what gifts and who is the bigger threat if need be. However, when I reached the man named Jasper's eyes I immediately stopped and felt the hole in my chest from losing my sister fill halfway. I knew immediately that he was my mate and as happy as I was to find him I hated that he was associated with Isabella. I wanted nothing to do with her and being with someone from the same family she was mated to someone was not a way to stay away from her.

Before I could comment a huge native man stepped forward with a beautiful native woman tucked into his side. I could see the scratches down her face but didn't linger. They meant nothing to me and she was still a very beautiful woman. "My name is Sam and I am alpha of this pack. This is my imprint Emily. This is Jacob my beta, Embry, Quil with his imprint Claire, Brady, and Collin. This is Leah and her little brother Seth, Jared my third in command and his imprint Kim. Last but not least this is Paul." He said as he pointed to each member of his pack.

I let my eyes roam over each form as I took them in but once again paused not believing my luck. When my eyes met Paul the other half of the whole in my heart seemed to heal and I got angrier than before. Two mates and both of them had to be friends or family to the girl I despised. I shook my head and turned back to Isabella who now that the introductions were done seemed to be nervous since the attention was back to her. "Dad wanted me to come meet all your friends and with my photographic memory I will be able to tell him in detail if he would like who each person is. Hopefully that will get him off my back about it. As for you I have not intentions to forgive you for the pain you caused my sister. All she ever wanted was to try and build a relationship with our birth parents once we were 18 and you crushed that dream causing her to run. She has never cried so hard in her life and she damn sure has never run off like that. I told you and your mother once and I will say is again I buried any relationship we could have had when I buried my twin. You stay away from me and I will stay away from you." I told her looking her straight in the eyes so she knew I wasn't playing. I then turned straight to the others, smiled, and then nodded at my pack.

My pack immediately began to get back in or on their vehicles and head out to our new house. "I apologize for showing up unannounced. Thank you for your time I suppose seeing some of you around will be inevitable just don't bring Isabella and we will be good." I said as I went to get back into my jeep. "Wait! How do you know what we are?" I heard someone yell and turned to see the blonde female vamp had stepped forward to ask. I just smiled and let part of my panther loose and watched with satisfaction as they saw my eyes turn gold, my fingernails turn to claws, and my teeth sharpen to deadly points. I let my panther back into me turning my features back to normal as I laughed at their shocked stares and got into my jeep and leaving before they could come out of it.

"You know they are going to track us down and want answers right?" Jace said from beside me as I flew down the road towards my dad's house. "Yes I know. It will be the alpha's place to give the details in which they want about the pack and I will sit back with a jack and coke in my hand enjoying the show. So long as they leave Isabella at home we will be just fine." I replied pulling into my dad's drive and jumping out. I made my way to the door and knocked feeling slightly nervous. I had not seen my dad in three years, since the funeral and I was worried of what would come of this. The door opened and I looked up to see my dad with a smile and his arms open. "Stacie! My beautiful girl I have missed you." He said bringing me into a fatherly hug in which I had never experienced before. It had me tearing up with the knowledge that I may actually be able to feel like a normal kid for one. "Dad! I missed you too." I replied shakily because of the tears streaming down my face.
