I hope that you enjoyed the first chapter of my little story, it seemed to have a very good response so hopefully that will be the pattern for the rest of this. I do warn you this will be a very long story, in a good way. It is going to pack with great things, and not so great things. So now here is chapter 2!

Warning: In this story there will be underage drinking, some drug use, yummy wolf lovin', rape, abuse, and possibly other things I can't think to warn you of. Basically it is M rated for a reason.

Sam's POV

Last night was a strange night, to say the least. I had already been in my wolf form, lumbering around uselessly and confused when I had been called upon by Billy Black to search for Isabella Swan, who accompanies vampires, and had gone missing.

I have known that I am a wolf protector of the tribe for awhile now, about a month and a half, I'd say. That doesn't mean I didn't still feel useless and confused. Why had no one else phased yet? I am not supposed to be the only one, hell, Jacob Black is supposed to be the alpha of an entire pack, where is Jacob Black in all of this? Where is this pack the Elders told me of?

I am supposed to protect my tribe by saving them from vampires, yet the only bloodless monsters around are the Cullens, who I am not allowed to touch. Even if I could, what good would it do? There is only one of me, wolves hunt as a pack, I am useless without any brothers.

Anyway, so I was circling around the reservation slowly looking around trying to find some purpose of my life being destroyed, losing the love of my life, and giving up my future, I was ordered to search for the missing Isabella Swan.

I had been searching for awhile when I came across the most enticing scent I have ever smelled. It smelled like clean linens with a bit of something extra… maybe raspberries? That's when I found her, sitting still and staring at nothing, she was pale, well paler than normal even, and hollow.

My attention was so focused on her that I accidently stepped on a twig, as the sound startled her and she began to spin around to face me, I wasn't sure I wanted to look at her, I was fearful that I would imprint. I guess that I can clarify that I was nervous, not necessarily scared. Imprinting is a beautiful thing, and maybe then I wouldn't feel so alone, but imprinting would mean that I would have to give up my Leah forever.

I was made to leave her after being with her for three beautiful years, but when I came back from changing, one look in the eye, and I knew that she was not meant to be mine, and I was not hers. The Elders told me that it was originally thought to be a rare occurrence, but they realized, that over time, every wolf would imprint. The fates would make sure that every wolf would meet their other half.

Isabella turned to fully face me. She seemed surprised, but not afraid. Finally the girl looked me in the eyes and relief and a bit of sadness flowed through me. The imprint did not happen, although, I did feel a pull to her, just not in the same way that an imprint would feel.

"Hello?" Came the most beautiful, raspy voice called out to me, and I knew that I couldn't hide from her, I just hoped that she would mistake me as a bear, or a normal, non-spiritual wolf.

I took steps backward until I was back into the dense forest hoping to get away and wait it out until I could come back as a human in an inconspicuous way. It hadn't really worked. She found out my secret! This girl, this Isa...this Bella, she had figured out the most well kept secret of the Quileute tribe, without any real clue.

I took her back to Chief Swan, who was more than a little bit happy and shocked to see her. I guess some part of him thought that they just wouldn't find her. I have to admit, knowing who this girl made company with, I hadn't been all that optimistic either, not that the Chief knew about the blood sucking monsters his daughter hung around.

Chief Swan had run towards us, making sure that his only child was safe and well taken care of. He pulled her inside, thanking me, but also taking her away from me. I don't know why it killed me so much to let her go away from me and out of my sight, I hadn't imprint, I know that I didn't, but that didn't change the fact that I felt incredibly connected to her.

So now here I am laying in bed pondering the pull I feel towards the slip of a girl named Bella Swan. I'm sick of being alone all of the time, it's going to be nice to have someone else know even if it isn't exactly the same as having a brother in my pack.

I know that I need to tell the Elders about Bella knowing my secret, even though she promised not to tell anyone, if they some how found out other than through me, I'd be in even more serious shit with them than I will already be in.

Suddenly, the shrill call of my alarm that was meant to wake me up rang in my ear, letting me know it is time get up and get ready for my day. Luckily, my day is going to be spent working on Sue Clearwater's front porch, and I remember hearing Chief Swan grumbling about making Bella go with him. No matter the cause for the draw towards her, I definitely feel it, so it will be a relief to see her.

I turn the knob in the bath to start the shower, turning it so that the water is as hot as it gets. I feel the defeat as once again, I get in and the water still feels cool. Since I first phased I have not had a truly hot shower, no matter how desperately I've needed one. This is just one of the small reasons I resent being a legendary Quileute protector. There are plenty of things to hate about this life curse. Gift, my ass.

I step out of the shower, grabbing a towel to dry off my body and shake the water out of my hair like the damn animal that I am. I look in the mirror, seeing me, but not recognizing the man in the mirror. There are perks to being a wolf, I have a ripped physique, not that I can really use it, I wouldn't dare let myself get close to any woman, for fear that I will imprint. That is why I had to leave Leah, the only woman that I have ever loved. I get dressed quickly in just a black T-shirt and a pair of cut-off shorts, some part of me wondering what Bella will think.

It turns out that Bella will not have much to say what-so-ever about my clothing, as she has nothing to say about anything. The entire day I was there she sat on the porch swing, staring out into the forest. I tried to begin a conversation with her a couple of times, but she never responded. Is it possible that she just can't hear me?

It is probably for the best though, since I can hear Leah inside. I don't need her knowing that there is a part of me that is interested in another woman. Even if I am not still with Leah, I spent three amazing years with her, and my love for her is not likely to go away anytime soon, just as I am aware that her's for me has not left.

As I finished up hammering the last nail in, and as the sun began to go down, I tried once more to talk to Bella Swan.

"Hey, I'm getting ready to head out, I am hungry though, so would you maybe want to go grab something at the diner with me?" I asked, not really expecting a response.

"You just pulled me out of the woods last night because I am totally heart broken over E… Him. Are you seriously asking me out right now?" She asked, her voice sounding dead, but her cheeks flushed, giving away that she still has some life in her.

"Woah! No! I was just asking if you wanted to hang out. I'll make sure I don't do that again." I said, actually kind of annoyed that this slip of a girl thought that I was asking her out… no matter how beautiful...or intriguing she may be.

"Oh.. um… sorry Sam." She apologized in a whisper.

"It's fine. So, do you wanna go?" I asked once more. Just as she was about to answer the door opened and the Chief poked his head out.

"Are you still just sitting there Bella? Please, go out, move, do something!" He told her, exasperated.

"Sir, I was just asking if she wanted to grab a bite to eat at the diner with me." I said, looking the man in the eyes, trying to convey in some way that this was not a date.

"Oh. See! Perfect! Bella, go to dinner with Sam, have fun!" He demanded her before adding, "Oh, and Sam, call me Charlie. Billy has told me some of the wonderful things for tribe that you do. I figure a man of your standing is an equal of mine." Charlie had a glint in his eye as he spoke, and it made me wonder if it was possible that both father and daughter knew my tribe's secret.

"Alright, Charlie it is Sir." I acknowledged as I packed my bag and stood to leave, Bella getting out of the porch swing to follow me after a stare down with Charlie.

"Oh and Charlie, Sir, please, can we leave this between us? I don't need Leah to get the wrong idea?" I asked in hopes that Leah would never have to know.

"Sure thing." Charlie mumbled as he went back into the house.

Alright… so what do you think so far? I really enjoyed the review and I hope to see more! This chapter got a bit difficult to write. I am Beta-less so I apologize for any mistakes that may happen in my writing, sometimes I just type too fast for my fingers to actually keep up with XD I have a lot planned for this story and I am really excited to get things going here now. Let me know what you think!
