Jacob's P.O.V:

Clearly the news better be good because I definitely didn't want to be awoken for no damn reason, at fucking two in the morning. Surely it was Embry who was literally banging on my window. I yanked the window open, hearing its annoying protest at my force. It opened anyway and Quil stood their pissed.

"Bastard," He said to me. "Sam told you to not fuck around with those chicks from Jason's pack, but you did it anyway! We just got a phone call from him saying that he has your daughter. He wants to exchange her freedom for power over La Push. This is your fucking fault so get your ass over there and fix it!" He yelled at me.

I was a bit shocked at his reaction. I bet sent him over here to yell at me. Shit I hopped out the window and followed Embry to where we would be meeting the pack. "I don't have any kids, Embry."

"Well you do now, got a picture from her kidnappers too." He shoved a photograph at me.

Sure enough there was a girl on the picture. Her face appeared scared shitless. White and pale. Something shocking occurred to me; it looked a lot like Melina. The one difference is she had my eyes and hair. She was my kid and I didn't even know I had a daughter. It had been like sixteen years since I seen Melina. Looks like that one night stand ended up with a baby.

"Why does Jason want to take over La Push so bad?" I asked Embry.

He rolled his eyes at me. We were getting ready to shift into our wolf forms. I set the picture down near a rock and pull of my shorts. Tying them to my ankle I take off to where the others were. We met near the boundary line of La Push. The others were all there giving me a disapproving look. Everyone seems to be pissed at what I had done. It' not like I was the only one to hook up when we were gone. Those sixteen years ago we discovered a pack like us with the wolf gene. They however were different from us. Sure they killed vampires who messed around on their territory, but they also killed people.

Think he'd learn by now. Leah muttered. Only a few of us remained. The pack had become smaller since the others didn't want to outgrow their imprints. Those who didn't quit the pack were Embry, Seth, Leah, Collin, Brady, and Quil. Though, Quil would be quitting soon since his imprint was now twenty. According to the signs that Sam's twins have been showing lately, we'd be getting new members quite soon.

Can it Leah. Embry said.

Apparently I was too foolish to be Alpha. That's why Sam chose Paul to lead, then to Jared, and finally to Embry. I never wanted to be Alpha anyway, too much responsibility that I didn't want to have to handle. I never really got why Leah stayed, considering the fact she hated being in the pack. Maybe she just stayed to protect Seth.

Jake you broke the rules and since this happens to conflict the rest of us were going to help you out. Embry said.

Some of the others groaned but agreed to help anyway. On the run I felt guilty never knowing I had a kid. I mean why would Melina never tell me she was pregnant, especially with my baby?

Maybe because your irresponsible and not considered a father figure. Leah muttered.

Shut up, I would have helped her. I'm not like Paul. I growled as we picked up Jason's scent and followed it.

Focus both of you and don't make me tell you again! Embry ordered leading us to a small house.

There were three tall guys with pale skin. The thing that disgusted me the most that some of the guys in Jason's pack were half-breeds. Most of them part leech too.

"Well, well, well, look who decided to finally show up."

"Damn she was hot; I wished they would have stayed." One of them murmured.

"Yeah then we could have had our fun."

I wanted to tear their throats out, one by one. I don't know why I was so protective of the daughter I didn't even know. She was my kid and I didn't want these dirty bastards touching even a hair on her head. Jason came out then, his blonde hair shaggy and uncombed. Sick bastard needed to wipe his amused smirk off his face.

"Aw Jacob, how pleasant to see you and your pack of mongrels, just give us La Push and you can have your daughter back."

I glared at him. I changed back to human form and slipped my shorts on. "Fuck no!"

Embry and the others were in their human forms as well now. "Jason the girl hasn't down a thing just give her back."

He shook his head. "We can negotiate this easy or the hard way. Which will it be?"

Embry seethed his teeth and turned to look at Jake. "We'll let you have La Push." He said in surrender.

"Alright, guys bring her out."

The disappeared into the house and brought a girl with black hair like mine and scared brown eyes. One of them whispered something in her ear which made her eyes go wide.

"So long princess, looks like Daddy came to get you after all." One of them bellowed a laugh as they handed her over to us.

She looked to be about sixteen. "Did they hurt you?" Embry asked her.

She shook her head. Leah came up to her and offered a hand. She took it gingerly and led her away from it.

"Now about La Push," We all burst in our wolf forms and tore Jason's pack apart.

Lizzie's POV:

I don't why I held on to the girl's wolf neck as she dashed through the forest. I was frozen yet my hands were still locked around her neck. Who were these people and how the hell did they turn into wolves? It was downright scary and I couldn't feel my own heart beating as she ran faster than anything I have ever seen. Daddy is what crossed my mind. My mother never talked about my real father and I never asked because I knew it would upset her. Maybe she still loved my dad deep down. Who doesn't love the father of your child? How could that guy be my dad? The one with the shaggy black haircut guy, he seemed much too young to be my father. All of them looked like teenagers. Multiple trees were passed, not one of them hit us. All I saw were swirls of green and brown, of course the gray fur of the girl who rushed through the forest.

I was used to the cactus and dirt of Yuma, Arizona. How could I now be in a temperate forest? My mother must be worried sick; I know she must have called the police and everything. We came to a stop maybe ten minutes or so of excessive running. She stopped and let out a bark, signaling me to get off of her. I slid off my hands shaking with utter fear. I stepped away from her and she gave me a sadden expression. She dashed behind some trees and came out twenty seconds later.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you. I just had to get you out of there as quick as possible. It was for your own safety." I nodded my head as she spoke. "You do look a lot like Jacob."

I shook my head. "Um sorry, who?"

She sighed. "Your dad, of course you probably don't know your own heritage thanks to him."

I couldn't believe what she was saying. "Uh but he's too young to be my dad."

She laughed. "Yeah its part of being in the pack, none of us age. Oh and by the way I'm Leah Clearwater."

"Lizzie Castro," I said meekly. "About my suppose to be dad, does he know?"

She grinned. "Yeah he just found out. I must say he is quite protective of you."

I couldn't speak. I had a dad and he wasn't Ryan my step-dad he was my real biological father.

"Here let's go to Embry's house, his wife probably has food and you can wash up too."

I nodded and she led me through some trees until a small log house came into view. I smiled it looked so homey and welcoming. Leah bounded up the steps and opened the door. She waved her hand for me to follow. I did and I smelled the incense of burning pine wood. A fireplace kept the house warm; I could see it in the living room.

"Leeha who dis?" A cute little girl with jet black long hair said.

Leah smiled and replied. "Jake's daughter, Lizzie."

"Wrilly! She pretty!" She said clapping her hands. She ran up to hug my led. I patted her head.

"Oh hey Leah," A girl who looked to be about eighteen said. "I see you brought company."

"Yeah looks like Jacob had a daughter. The pack's uh taking care of things."

She smiled gingerly. Her copper brown hair looked silky and nice. She was thin and had blue eyes.

"Mommy isn't she pretty!" The little girl cooed.

"She is baby. How about you and Leah go play in room for a bit while I finish cooking."

She nodded her black hair swaying as she took Leah's hand and they headed upstairs. "Oh dear you seem in shock. Do you want to use the bathroom?"

I shook my head. My voice broke as I spoke. "Can I call my mom?"

She nodded. "Uh sure let me get the phone. You poor girl," She said so gentle and motherly. She came back a moment later with a cordless phone. I shakily dialed the number.

"Hello?" It was Tamera who picked up.

"Tammy it's me Liz!" I said so happy tears fell to my cheeks.

"Oh my god, mom it's Lizzie!"

"Baby," My mother said, she must have taken the phone from Tammy. "Where are you?"

"I-I am with dad. Mom you never told me anything. He saved me from these guys and how come you never told me?"

She went quiet. "Sweetheart, I didn't want you to be around him. He isn't safe."

I shook my head angry coming to me. "You lied all this time. I can't believe you!" I hung up on her. I couldn't take it. The girl let me take a seat on the couch.

"I'm sorry; here let me get you some tea." I nodded my head weakly.

She came back with a cup of tea and then the guys burst through the door. "Sorry it took us so long."

I noticed my dad he had cuts on his arms. I couldn't speak was too distraught. He walked over to me while the other piled into the kitchen. The girl left me alone with my dad.

I shot him a glare. "You never even called me. Not a letter, absolutely nothing." I snapped.

He seemed pained. "Your mom never told me about you. She took off and I never saw her again."

"You could have tried!"

He stepped closer. "How could I when I didn't even know."

I glared at him. "Guess it must have been one of those one night stands, you probably never even cared about my mom."

His eyes skid a deadly dark. "Maybe but I care about you, even if I don't know you. I did have feelings for your mom but she took off before I could ever tell her the truth."

I swallowed. "What truth?"

"She was my imprint of course I never really admitted it until now."

I shook my head. "What is imprint?"

"It when you find your soul mate you look right into their eyes and you know that they are the one for you."

I couldn't process this. "So you're like a what? Some sort of…" I couldn't find the right word to describe them changing form wolves to humans.

"A shape shifter to be exact, though we often call ourselves werewolves to make it easier to understand," He said taking a seat next to me.

"This is just too weird."

He smiled. "I bet but don't worry I won't harm you, nor will anyone else in the pack."

The door burst open and there stood a guy only in cut off shorts. He looked at me and stared into my eyes. I stared back completely intrigued, something felt so right about him. Jacob turned to where I was looking. "Oh no," He groaned. "Paul I swear if you…"

He shook his head. "Wow, I uh-"He turned around and took off.

I looked at Jacob. "What just happened?"

His face twisted with frustration. "Looks like your apart of this now. He imprinted on you."
