Hello lovelies. I'm sorry for the long wait. This is only a filler chapter, to explain few things. The drama will come in next. And yes Cullens will be back, Victoria will attack but not all will live happily ever after.
Read and review.
"Way to go people, you just imprinted on each other," trust Embry to ruin the moment.
"How did that happen? I don't mean imprinting. I get that. How did you phase? You are a pale face," Paul started rambling. Jake suddenly tensed at Paul's nick name for me. I put my hand on Jake's arm to calm him down. It worked. I was not offended one bit. I was not so pale face after all.
"Well, first of all, I am not a pale face. I am part Quileute. Actually me and Quil are related. Hello little cousin," I winked at still surprised Quil.
"We are what? Don't get me wrong Bella, I don't mind at all that you are my cousin, it's just th..." he didn't finish his sentence when Jake an Sam hit him simultaneously upside his head, "What was that for?" He whined and the rest of the guys just laughed at him.
"Just shut up and let Bella finish," spoke Jacob, my Jacob.
"Me neither for that matter," I answered Quil, "Charlie told me some time ago that his mum and your granddad were half sister and brother, but since she lived in Seattle and not in the Rez I guess nobody remembered that detail much." I finished.
"That explains it then," was Embry who answered.
"I have a question for you too Bella," Sam begun, "how come that you are so big?" he raised his eyebrow and his face expressed only confusion.
"What do you mean? Well surely I've grown a little, but I didn't think I was that bad," why did he think I was fat, I mentally added.
"No Bella, you've got me wrong. I'm not talking about your human form, only your wolf."
"Ha?" I uttered.
"Well in nature the female wolves are much smaller than the males. Especially the alpha is the biggest in the pack. That is why I am the biggest and Jake is the close second, because he is, well, second in command basically," he begun to explain to me, "but you are almost as big as Jake, sure you are bigger than the other guys," there was few whines from the group. Sure they did not like the idea of the girl being bigger than them. I grinned stupidly at nobody in particular.
"This is your first few times to phase too so your wolf form will grow in time..." He trailed off. It was like light bulb going off in his head.
But then my brain begun to switch gears and I swear I could hear a click and I saw bright light of the light bulb shining above me. I was surprised that the others did not notice it.
Jacob was technically a true alpha of the pack and though he didn't want the responsibility, he was the alpha. There was no fooling the fate or a bloodline. Truly he was bigger than Sam. So, Jake and I imprinted so technically I became an alpha female in the pack, so I had to match Jake right? Also I was so exposed to vampire element during my short stay in Forks so that also could have an effect on me. That was plausible. I was proud of myself.
Then there was yet another question. Why I didn't phase then and there in that damn biology lesson? I was afraid then not angry. The anger was a key. I was happy and in love and I think it was only possible because I had enough of the average blood in me to dull the gene in the first place.
Ha, I was on the ball today and I knew it. A smirk appeared on my face. That was kinda cool that I could kick all those furry butts of theirs. That would be the first. Not that I would act on it unless they would seriously piss me off.
"What?" Jake broke the silence. Only then I realized that I must have been quiet a long time while thinking up my epiphany because the guys were staring at me with anticipation.
"What what?" I asked playing innocent.
"You know what. You came up with something. We could basically see the wheels turning in that pretty head of yours," Jake then laughed and ruffled my hair.
I could not resist his ebony eyes for long.
"First I was thinking about the dynamics in the pack. Sorry Sam but we all know that Jake is true Alpha," he just nodded, but Jake started to protest. Everyone knew that he didn't want the responsibility, yet. "Jacob, let me finish, please. So I was saying that since we imprinted on each other I technically became an alpha female. Does that make sense?"
"That was exactly what I was thinking," said Sam.
"OK. Another thing was that we and the leeches are involved in the kill-me-I-kill-you stuff-because-you-are-my-mortal-enemy. I was pretty much surrounded by a vamps for a long time. Then I had two near death experiences with James, Laurent and now Victoria is chasing me."
"So I thought when you are thrown constantly in the harms way, even when you did not consciously register it, you toughen up. I think that I was exposed to the vampires for so long, that my gene just grew in strength to help me defend myself." I paused. The old saying was true, the things that did not kill me, made me stronger.
"So how come you didn't phase when you were around them?" Quil asked me.
"That is a good question but I think I may have an answer to that too. Do you remember the emotion when you first phased?" I directed that question at everyone.
"Yeah, I was angry. Pissed off actually. We all were." Quil answered for all of them. I cringed at my own outburst of anger. I could have kill Charlie if he didn't know to get out of my way.
"You see, for a long time I felt anything but angry. First I was afraid, then in love," someone snorted, "I know Paul, in love with the bloodsucker, but remember that I have some ordinary human blood in me too. Then I was devastated and finally happy when Jake and I started to hang out."
"I was all that but never angry, well, till today that is..." I finished with a whisper.
"Then finally I exploded. I'm glad that Charlie recognized the sighs and was able to back out of my way..." I added with shame of almost hurting my dad. After that I remembered something and that revelation made me squeal in sudden happiness.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing Sam. Call me slow but I just realized that I can help you fight Victoria off. I am no longer a liability," and I made my happy dance. I had a plan forming in my mind already. All the guys were looking at me like I've grown a second head. Jake however was slightly trembling.
"NO!" he growled. What, did he just growled at me?
"Yes and you can do nothing about it!" I stomped my foot like a little girl.
"But-"
"No but," I cut him off, "I know where you are coming from, but you don't have to worry about me any more. I can take care of myself now, obviously. I can be a bait that bites back," I grinned at him and all the guys resembled my facial expression.
"Come on, you can teach me all you know so I can fight the leeches off as well as you do," I made a puppy dog eyes at him I knew he could not resist. I could see his defences crumbling.
"That's unfair, you play dirty," he whined.
"I never said I would play fair, baby," I winked at him and blew him a kiss.
"Ok, there is another matter we have to address," Sam spoke again.
"Which is?" I asked him.
"The Cullens..." he let it drag. Jake was trembling again.
"Well they will be for a surprise of their lives, won't they?"
A/N Give me some love.
