CHAPTER ONE
EPHRAIM DANIEL BLACK ANDISABELLA JANE SWAN
So that was it, it was up to me and this Swan woman to make sure the future was safe, I sighed, as I remembered I would lose the woman I loved more than life itself, to save our future, a tear slipped down my cheek, I felt the loss already. I could feel my heart breaking and a hole already forming in my chest from the loss, as I whispered her name, "Myra," I packed up my things and flung them over my shoulder and headed home.
My mind thinking back to all that Taha Aki told me, a lot I didn't understand, but some I did it was up to us to save the future, without us doing our part those in the future, our children, couldn't do was hard for me to imagine that there were different dimensions in time, that they ran side by side with ours that the same people lived there lives as we lived ours, and with one microscopic thing out of line could cause such destruction. Who plans all this out anyway? It seems so unfair that so many would be at risk from one mistake, it blows my mind how worthless it could be. So many lives could be affected by one decision. Well so be it, I would deal with the pain, I will do as I am told, I will release my imprint and only hope that she would release me, if not I will be in physical pain.
I approached the reservation, before I headed home I gathered the pack, I wouldn't tell them of what was to come but I would let them know that the Cullens have left and we will be free to stop phasing for the next two generations. I knew they would be happy about that.

and myself would be free to live our lives as we see fit, well they would, as for me not so much, I had to live my life with a woman I knew nothing about. As I expected they were elated at the fact that the Cullens were gone and they could retire their wolves. They decided to have a bonfire to celebrate.
I left them to meet with the Elders, I told them of my meeting with Taha Aki, and the coming disaster, they were more than a little upset about the imprinting situation, they find the imprinting process sacred and was upset that I had to release my imprint for a woman they knew nothing about and voiced their opinion accordingly. I asked them if they would go against the wishes of the Great Spirit that was sent to me by another Great Spirit that was even more powerful than he. The room went silent; they knew they had no choice.
After leaving there I headed for home by way of the woods, as I walked I heard a cry, I stopped and looked around to see where it came from, but couldn't find anything or anyone, as I continued walking I heard it again, it drew me to the top of the hill that laid before me, as I looked around once again still not seeing anything the cry came again, I looked down and at the bottom of the hill, where laid a young woman, I ran down the hill to her aid, she had blood covering her face due to a laceration on her head, after seeing me she moved away only to pass out, I picked her up and carried her to my home, as I came through the door Myra gasped and ran to fetch a pan of water and some clean rags.
She asked me what happened to her, I told her I didn't know that I came across her in the woods on my way home, as I watched Myra tend to the woman's needs. It brought back my meeting with Taha Aki, I closed my eyes and felt my heart rip apart a little more, I left her with the woman and walked to the window in the parlor and stared out to sea letting my mind wonder, how was I supposed to break Myra's heart as mine was breaking already.
After awhile Myra came from the room, she told me the woman had a few bumps and bruises, she bandaged the wound on her head, she said it looked worse than it was and that she would be alright, she just needed to rest. I looked at her sadly and returned to look out the window.
"Ephraim we need to talk," she said, I looked back at her, she walked up to me and took my hand and led me to the sofa, she sat down next to me and looked down at her hand, she looked a bit nervous as her fingers twirled around one another.
"Myra, are you alright?" I asked her taking her hand into mine. She looked up at me with a half smile.
"Ephraim, um…I can't do this anymore," she said, I looked at her with a puzzled look trying to understand what she was referring too."Can't do what?" I asked, confused.
"Umm… I can't stay here anymore, all this is too much for me, I've tried I really have but I'm a wreck, I'm always worried if you'll ever come back in one piece, or if you will come back at all. This supernatural stuff isn't for me, I just can't do it any longer…So Ephraim I release you from the imprint," she said.I looked at her in shock with my mouth hanging open, my mind went blank, I couldn't even form two words together, when I could speak I thought, should I tell her about the pack no longer having to phase…I answered myself…no… it didn't matter now, I was trying to find away to release her from the imprint, then I felt it, the pull was gone, once she released me the pain was gone, we were free of one another. I told her I understood and wished her the best in life, and we parted friends. She had packed her things while I was gone and in a short time her brother came to pick her up and take her to his home.
I couldn't help but wonder if the Great Spirit had something to do with it, then I remembered the woman in the next room, I sighed and went quietly into the room to check on her, as I looked down at her I found a beautiful woman, she had long raven black hair that flowed to her waist, her heart shaped face illuminated her pouty lips, her bronze color skins shimmered in the light casted from the window, she looked like an angel laying on the bed. I pulled up a chair and placed it near the bed and sat down and took her small hand in mine, her skin was so soft, I could smell a scent of wild flower in the spring, I placed her hand to my cheek and breathed deeply, her fragrance made my head spin, who is this lovely creature? I asked myself as I looked up at her face. She slowly opened her eyes to meet mine, and the world shifted. It wasn't gravity that anchored me to the ground it was her, I would do anything, be anything for her, this was nothing like I felt for Myra and I wondered if I really did imprint on Myra, this was much more, a more intense feeling, I would move mountains for this woman if she would let me. Once I gained my composer, I found that she was looking at me the same way; she closed her eyes then opened them again.
"Where am I," she whispered, with just a sound of her voice sent a shiver down my spine. She tried to pull herself up to lean against the head board, I pulled the pillow up and helped her lean against the pillow in an upright position.
"I am Ephraim Black, I am Chief of this tribe, I found you in the woods you had fallen and was hurt, I brought you here to my home," I told her.
"What is your name," I asked her."Isabella Swan," she said, as my eyes grew with surprise, of course that's who she is, who did I think I would imprint on if not her, Taha Aki said I would find her, I guess I figured it wouldn't be so fast. But yet here she was.
"It's nice to meet you Mrs. Swan, your safe here, so just relax, can I get you anything, tea, maybe some water?" I asked. She looked at me confused.
"How did you know I was a Mrs.?" she asked. I looked at her, I hadn't even realized I had called her Mrs. Swan and had to think fast.
"I'm sorry I guess I just took it for granted that you were married, should I send for your husband? I could have him brought here for you," I asked, I knew she was widowed but I didn't want her to know I knew. I looked back at her she had a sorrowful look on her face as a tear fell down her face, I couldn't help myself as I reach up and wiped it away with the pad of my finger.
"Are you alright, should I send for a doctor?" I asked her. She shook her head no.
"My husband is dead Mr. Black he died four months ago," she cried.
"Oh…I am so sorry," I told her and I meant it, I hated seeing her so upset.
"No, please, I have dealt with his death, my problem doesn't lie with his death but with the circumstances," she told me. I wondered if she spoke of the child she carries, I can hear the heart beat; it was very strong, I could hear it from where I sat.
"I'm sorry, I don't understand," I told her, still keeping up the pretences.
"I am pregnant with his child," she started to cry once again. The tears flowed down her face, I sat on the side of the bed and pulled her into my lap and held her close against my chest as I rubbed her back to comfort her the best I could, she didn't seem to mind, I could feel the pull and wondered if she could feel it as well, I felt a tingling all over my body as our bodies touched, I breathed in her scent, the wild flowers of spring and it was wonderful, I had to fight to keep my wolf at bay, he wanted to take her and make her ours right then and there. I rocked her back and forth and sung a lullaby that my mother used to sing to me as a child.
After awhile I had a chance to talk with her, she had no family here at all and no place to go. So I told her she could stay here with me, and to my surprise she took me up on awhile here, I explained things to her about the tribe and what we are or we used to be, and told her about imprinting, she took it well, she did know some about the supernatural world, telling me about how her grandmother told her that she would come into her own powers and that she was a seer, and her children would grow in powers as well. I don't think she knew just how important her family was, So I took it upon myself to tell her about Taha Aki and what he said, after all it is her family and mine that would have to deal with the coming disaster, I told her how we must keep a journal to help our children down the line. She truly took everything really well, and we became closer and soon her daughter was born and I loved Jean Renee and cared for her as she was mine.
I still worried about Myra, and I hoped that she felt no pain from our ending the imprint…it worried me for awhile until her brother told me that she was fine that she had went away to visit her aunt for a short time.
But shortly after that her brother came to visit me he carried a child in his arms, I invited him in and asked after Myra, he sighed and took on a pained look, as he looked down at the child in his arms. He looked back at me and began.
"Chief, this is Myra's child," he said, which surprised me, she was supposed to be barren, and now he tells me she bore a child. "It is also your child," he continued. But I barely heard any of what he said after that. "She died giving birth to this child, her last words to me were to make sure that I get the child to you, he will be the next Chief, I promised her this and now I bring you, your son," he said, as he handed me my son, I looked down at my son, he looked exactly like me, there was no denying that he was mine. He told me that she had gone away to have the child, she didn't want to cause me any pain, she knew I had imprinted on Isabella and kept her pregnancy a secret but when she knew she was going to die, she had no choice, she had to make sure he went to his father. She hadn't named him yet, and it was true he would be the next Chief.
I thought it would cause problems with Isabella, knowing that I had a son with another woman, she knew about Myra and how we had to walk away from the imprint, if it truly was an imprint. If Isabella and I were to ever have a son he wouldn't be Chief, but once again she surprised me, she walked up to me and took my son from my arms and smiled brightly, then looked at me.
"It's true Ephraim…he looks just like you," she said with a smile, then looked down at my son.
"So what do you say little Chief, what should your name be?" she asked.
"Um… how about Daniel Levi," she said, looking at me for approval, I smiled and agreed, so did Jerry, Myra's brother considering Levi was his middle name and the child would carry his name as well. Jerry stayed awhile and left with a promise to visit again soon.
Isabella loved and cared for my son as if he was hers, she showed no favoritism between the two children, and that made me love her even more.
The years flew by we all grew older, we wrote in our journal's to pass on what went on in our daily lives to pass on to our children and their children, Daniel indeed took over as Chief of the tribe after Ephraim grew older, and with his passing, Isabella went shortly after, and the children grew.
The journals after their passing were taken to the great hall of our history and never thought of again, well at least until William; Ephraim's grandson went on the lookout for them.
He had found out that they existed and searched high and low for them with no luck as of yet, but he was persistent, he knew it would bring light to the situation at hand, and he wouldn't quit until he found out what the hell was going on.
