Ch.2- Secret is finally told

Friday

" She's not dead, right?" A voice says from above my head. Why is that voice so familiar?

"Awe. Paul is caring." Another voice says. A loud sound that sounds like a smack is heard.

" Oww!" That same voice says.

Great the boys and Leah brought me to Sam's. Great, they just had to take me to him.

" Hey, look at the bruises along her body." Seth says. A loud smack is heard.

" Oww. What was that for?" Seth says

" For staring retard." Leah says sarcastically. Everyone starts laughing.

" I still can't believe you guys went against my order." Sam's deep voice is heard.

" Yeah, well one of us was bound to see her. She's our friend and she never judged us until we joined this pack" Jacob says, with a slight growl.

" She could easily get hurt if she is too close to us." Sam angrily replies.

" They haven't yet." I say, opening my eyes and sitting up.

" Key word being yet." Sam says to me.

" How do you know they won't hurt you? Do you even know what we are?" Sam growls at me, earning Paul to growl at him. Sam shakes a little more and Emily comes over to calm him down.

" Of course I know what you are! Besides unlike you, they have learned to control themselves enough not to phrase in front of people especially who they love. Just because you attacked Emily, doesn't mean they are going to the exact same thing to the ones they care for. It's time for you to stop blaming yourself Sam. Emily has already forgiven you and to tell you the truth she looks more beautiful with the scars of her wolf." I yell at him, angrily. Sam's face is full of shock that I would say such a thing.

" Fine, you can be part of us but you have to tell us what you think we are." Sam says as he calms down.

" Yeah, so what are we?" Jared asks me, smirking and wiggling his eyebrows.

" You guys and Leah are a bunch of overgrown mutts or shape-shifters as you prefer." I growl out.

" Ugh, Jaclyn! I thought you forgave us?" Jared groans.

" You thought wrong then." I retort back, as I feel Paul's arms move me onto his lap and wrap around me. I wiggle and squirm trying to get out of his strong yet secure and comforting hold on me.

" Please, we said we were sorry. We only left because of a command by Sam, our alpha." Quill pleads with me, trying to use his puppy dog eyes on me.

" Sorry, doesn't cut it, Atera! You guys left me when I needed you the most and this is the thanks I get." I exclaim, tossing my arms in frustration.

I growl more as I struggle against Paul's iron grip on me.

" Well, we are here now!" Embry yells at me.

" It's too late already. God, damn it, Paul, let go of me, now!" I yell, having a little bit of a hard time controlling my shaking and turning wolf.

" No. Not until you accept our apologies and tell us what happened when we weren't with you." Paul exclaims, a little bit angry.

" No!" I all but scream out. I shake my head from side to side.

" Female version of Paul, for sure." Emily says and Sam nods his head.

" Why? Jaclyn, we want you back." Collin whines, pleading with me. Memories of my abusive father come back and I suddenly become afraid and scared.

" I.I. I don't know" I say, sadly, looking down at the floor, stopping my struggle with Paul.

" You don't know what? Whether to accept our apology or to tell us what's happening at home." Jared asks me.

" Both but in a sense I have accepted your guys apology." I say, looking up with a small sad smile and Paul's arms loosen.

" You. You have?" Brady asks, shocked.

" Yeah, I forgave you when you first phrased and I figured out what you were. My right lower arm proves that," I say, showing them my lower arm. They gasp as they see all their names even the imprint names.

"Why did you do that, Jac?" Seth asks me; I smile at huge at them.

" You guys are my only family and are so important to me. I could never stay mad at you. I got this tattooed after each of you phrased and started ignoring me." I explain to them.

I'm not going to mention cutting my lower right arm before I got this tattooed.

" Never took you for being the rebellious type." Sam says.

" Yeah, well. You don't know the life I've lived." I coldly reply.

" So how did you figure out what we were?" Leah asks me. I smirk.

I'll just partly lie to them.

" I knew what you were as soon as Sam started howling. I mean come on; Billy was always drilling the legends in our head. Also I noticed a streak of one of your guys' fur go by my house or window. Not to mention you guys all hang out together when before you didn't except those you were already friends with. You all have the same body built, tallness, tan and tattoo as each other. You all went missing from school for exactly three weeks, just to learn control and the ropes of being a wolf." I say to them and laugh when I see them all shocked, totally blown away from what I figured out.

" Yeah but how do you explain the imprints being around us or you having those exact same things?" Sam asks.

Damn him.

" Have you ever noticed that before you phrased each one of your imprints had a crush on you guys, well except me of course? I only have those things because you guys rub off on me all the time and I have Quilete in me but not necessary the wolf gene. Besides its too rare for a girl other then Leah to be a wolf." I explain to them.

" Wow. And here we always thought you had a lot more blonde in you!" Paul jokes and I elbow him hard in the stomach as the guys laugh. Paul groans in pain.

" Oh it didn't hurt that much, baby." I say and get off his lap, standing and moving close to the back door.

" So J, you going to tell us what happened?" Jared questions me as I see him take a spot next to Paul on the couch. Everyone else is either sitting down or standing but far away from the back door.

" S-s-sure. Not!" I say and sprint quickly out the back door of the house.

" Get her." Sam commands the boys and Leah and I swear as I hear lots of pounding feet behind me.

I feel someone get close and go to grab me but I leap high into the air above them. They fall on the cold ground. I look to see it was Jared and I smirk as I land on his back and use it as a springboard and race far into the woods behind the Uley's house. I look back to see the others running after me and I sprint faster. I see one of the tallest trees and start climbing it. I find myself a branch and camouflage myself using the leaves of the tree so no one sees me. I hold my breath as the guys race past my tree and I remember that this feels like we are playing hide and seek like when we were younger but this time I'm winning. I groan mentally as the guys come to my tree and stop. I suck in a breath as I hear my branch crack a tiny sound from my weight and the guys's heads snap up. The wind suddenly picks up and blows the leaves away and the guys spot me.

" Hottie, come out of the tree right now, please." Collin flirts, trying to get me to come out of the tree.

" No, can do lover boy." I flirt back, staying in my tree.

" Come on, cutie. You know you want to be around my hot body." Brady flirts, winking at me, earning a growl from some of the boys but mainly Paul. Both boys trying to get me out of the tree with their pervy ways.

" Sorry, perverts but I'm staying in my tree. Besides it's a lot better looking then you two, flea bags." I say, slightly disgusted at them. The guys laugh a little.

" Jaca, come on, you know you want to be with me in hottie heaven." Leah says, trying to use my weakness of the guys being all shirtless and how hot they look with their abs especially Paul's magnificent body.

I get off my branch and climb higher instead, testing my weight on it.

" Come on down and you don't have to tell us anything you don't want us to hear." Paul says.

" You promise?" I say in a baby voice.

" I do but you got to climb down to us first." He replies and I smirk.

" What's wrong, the doggies can't climb a tree?" I say with a laugh as I down the tree.

" Naw, we are just too tired." Seth says with a yawn.

I see Paul wink at the others and they all smile as I near the ground. Oh no, something is definitely up. I land on the ground, turning around as I dust myself off. I finish dusting myself off and just notice that the strongest wolves, Paul and Jacob, are a lot closer to me then I like and my back is to the tree. Paul grabs my arm; my stomach leaps with butterflies at his touch.

Electricity surges on my skin as my eyes look up and lock with Paul's chocolate brown ones. Suddenly I see my life and his collide together becoming one. I see our futures are together. He is my life and my everything. The only one holding me to this earth, it's no longer gravity. It's Paul.

My world has totally shifted. I'm knocked out of the trance when I notice Jacob's hot hand on my other arm. Damn it, they are dragging me back to Sam's.

" Jaclyn, we are trying to help you." Sam says, trying to sooth me.

" Really? When we were you all, going to tell me that you guys are going to get yourself killed, fighting a newborn army with the help of the Cullens!" I yell at Sam and them.

The pack is shocked that I know about the newborn army that is after Bella. I feel Paul's and Jacob's grip loosen due to the shock. It's enough for me to get out of their grip and start running, only to get caught by Leah and Jared instead. I groan as they start hauling me inside the house.

" How the hell do you know about that?" Jacob demands but I just smirk at him.

" None of your damn fucking business!" I scream out, struggling hard as we finally get inside the house.

" Language, missy!" Emily motherly says to me but I just stick my tongue out at her.

She gives me a disapproving look as we slowly make our way to the living room. I feel a hand on my neck start rubbing smooth circles on the base of my neck and I slowly stop struggling against Leah and Jared, my body relaxing at Paul's smooth circles on my neck. Leah and Jared let go of me and I lean against Paul's chest. He leads us to a seat on the couch, nowhere near an exit for me to escape. As soon as Paul gets us to sit down, I figure out he tricked me. His arms wrap around my stomach and waist and I struggle and thrash around against his hold as the pack gather around us, sitting in numerous different places, just watching me struggle.

" Calm down, babe." Paul soothes me, gently.

" God, damn it, Paul! You lied and tricked your damn imprint. Me!" I say outraged as I thrash my hardest. Paul slightly having a hard time with me.

" It's for your own good, damn it." Paul says slightly frustrated as I struggle hard.

Leah comes over to me and looks me in the eyes. She holds both my hands in hers as she kneels to my eye level.

" Quit being stubborn and give us a chance." Leah says, very seriously.

She's always been the younger sister but she's always acting older due to Seth. She's the sister I always wanted. All the guys here are like brothers to me. Sam and Emily are the parents I've never really have and always wanted. I go to bite Leah and she backs off, glaring at me.

" You guys had your chance! I was going to tell you before you all phrased and started ignoring me. You left me, all heartbroken." I growl out at them.

Emily comes over to me, sitting on the opposite side of where Paul, who is struggling to keep a good hold on me and she puts her hand on the base of my neck, doing the circles on my neck. My body instantly calms down and relaxes at her touch. She's always been good to me.

" What happened, Jay-bear?" Seth asks me, slowly, I shake my head from side to side and whimper at the memories.

" He. He...he.. He ruined my mom and I." I say quietly but I know they can hear me due to their super hearing.

" Who did, JC?" Embry asks, a little more forceful but he's just being a protective brother.

" My biological dad." I say, a bit louder this time, my voice slightly shakes a bit at the word dad.

" Baby girl, what did he do?" Sam asks, fatherly to me as I relax more and start to lean my body against Paul's chest.

I whimper, afraid to tell because if he heard I told them, he'd hurt or kill me. Emily moves to stand with Sam and Jake takes her spot next to me.

" Shh. it's ok, nothing is going to happen." Jake says, brotherly to me.

" But Jakie, he'll. He'll hurt me if he finds out I told someone especially you guys." I say as I feel saltwater filled tears go down my cheeks as I slowly begin to cry.

" Shh, baby girl. We won't let him hurt you at all." Jared says, protective of me.

" Ok. He.. He killed mom on purpose and made me help cover it up. Since then he drinks hard and a lot. When he comes home and I'm there, he. He abuses me badly." I say, crying.

The pack gasps and the guys start shaking bad, getting very close to phrasing to their wolf especially Sam because of their protectiveness over me.

" That bastard! I'll kill him, once I get my hands on the little ass." Paul roars angrily, his body shaking hard, as he gets closer to phrasing.

I move around in his grip and turn around to face him. I put my hands on his cheeks and pull his face down so that we see eye to eye with each other. I can feel his body shaking hard, his arms blurring as they shake.

" Calm down." I say to him but he doesn't stop.

Ugh, fine then!

I move my arms and wrap them around his neck. He still doesn't stop shaking but I hear his heart race as I move my lips closer to his. His eyes look anywhere but at mine. At least the wolf knows what is happening.

" Jacie! What are you doing?" Emily exclaims, scared that I'll be hurt with being so close to him.

" If he won't listen to me then I'll make him stop. Keep the others from phrasing and I'll move onto them next." I instruct her and I look and see her nod.

I turn back to Paul, turning his face so that he is forced to look at me and then taking a deep breath, I slam my lips onto his, beautiful, red, soft lips. At first, Paul doesn't do anything at all, so I force his to move with mine, that's when he snaps back into reality, his eyes widen slightly as he notices my lips on his. I feel our lips start moving in sync and I swear no fireworks went off but nuclear bombs! His shaking slows to a stop as his hands move to rest on my hips. I smirk into the kiss as my fingers tug on the hair on the nape of his neck and he moans and growls. I pull off his lips, both of us breathing hard. Paul smirks big.

" Better?" I ask, still smirking.

" Much." Paul says, huskily back, grinning as he goes to kiss me again, wanting more but I get off his lap, making him pout for a fraction of a second but he covers it up quickly with a huge grin.

" Down, wolf boy." I tease, smirking as I go over to Jared first, cause he is shaking hard.

I go and give him a hug and a kiss on the cheek to calm him down. I know the boys will calm down if I do this to them. I feel him hug back after a couple of minutes.

" You, good?" I ask him and he nods with a slight smile.

I move onto Embry next and give him a huge hug and a kiss on his cheek. I feel him stop shaking and hug back. He rests his head on my shoulder and I hear Paul growl.

" Thanks Jay-bear." Embry says as we pull out of the hug.

" No problem, Emmy-bear." I happily say.

I go and give Quill a hug and kiss on the cheek. He shakes for a good ten seconds before he realizes that I'm hugging him and he hugs back.

" You ok?" I ask him.

He smiles and I take that as a yes and move onto Seth, who seems to be shaking a little too much for my liking. He's my little brother that I love and adore so much, other then Collin and Brady. I smile and give him a hug, snuggling into him and a kiss on the nose. Seth snaps out of it after five minutes. We used to do this to each other whenever one of us was really upset about something.

" You, aright, Sethling?" I ask him.

" I'm ok, sista." He jokes and I laugh.

Brady and Collin are both shaking as bad as Seth so I go over to each of them, giving a hug and a very quick peck on the lips. Paul growls again and I just smirk at him. The pervy twins snap out of it and hug me. I push off of them before they get any more pervy ideas. They are like little brothers next to Seth.

" You, boys, ok?" I demand and they nod smirking at me.

I roll my eyes and go over to Leah. I give her a huge hug and she calms down. We smile at each other before I move over to Jacob. I sit on his lap and notice that him, Sam and Paul were shaking the worst out of all the boys. I give Jake a hug and a quick peck on the lips. Paul growls but this time I reach over and cuff him over the head.

" Frick, woman! What was that for?" Paul exclaims, rubbing his head as the rest of the guys all laugh.

" Don't growl at your brothers! I think of them all as brothers. You shouldn't get jealous." I growl back in a motherly tone and he nods his head.

Jake hugs back. I get off his lap and move over to help Emily with Sam, who is a lot closer to phrasing then any of the boys were.

" Jaca, I don't think that's a good idea!" Paul worries and the rest of the boys agree.

" Shut it!" I snap at them.

I step close to Sam and give him a huge hug, hugging very tightly as I feel him shake hard.

" Please, don't phrase! I..I..I love you as a father, Sammy. If you stop shaking, I'll.. I'll start calling you dad." I say in a little kid voice, hugging him tighter and I feel him stop shaking and hug me back.

" You. You would?" Sam asks me, tears coming to his eyes.

" I would proudly call you dad and Emily mom." I say, proudly and we let go of each other.

He wraps his arms around Emily and kisses her on the cheek as I go and sit in between Paul and Jacob.

" How did you know they would calm down like that?" Emily asks me with incredibility, not believing I could actually calm them all down.

" Before I could always calm them down with a surprise hug and kiss. They haven't had one in a long time so I knew they missed them." I explain to Emily.

" Alright but how come Paul nearly got a full make- out session?" Emily questions me.

" She what?!" Sam and the rest of the guys except Emily, Paul and I yell out, shocked and a bit angry.

" He's too much of a hot-head to calm down for anything else. Besides imprinter gets whatever imprintee gives them." I say with a slight laugh. Or vice versa.

" But..But" Sam begins, taking steps towards Paul but I step in between and flick Sam's nose. He rubs his nose.

" No buts, understood?" I say to him with a hint of my true Alpha command and he nod his head, going back to Emily.

" Except the butt we stare at." Brady comments and Paul growls at him. I roll my eyes and smile as I sit back down again in my seat.

" So when's the fight?" I ask them, Sam shifts nervously.

" A couple of weeks." He says.

" Cool." I say to him as Paul moves me onto his lap and I curl my body onto his lap and the armrest.

" Hey, Em, is it ok with you and Sam if I could live here with you?" I ask her. She has this surprise face on. She looks at Sam and he nods.

" Of course you can! You can stay in the spare bedroom if you wanted." Emily says and I smile at her.

" I'm still going to kill that drunken bastard!" Paul growls out and the rest of the boys agree with him.

" Not anytime soon, you aren't. You need to focus on the upcoming fight." I say convincingly. The pack groans as they cave in, knowing I'm right and I smirk.

" How about you all stay here and watch movies tonight?" Emily suggests and they all nod. I smile as the first movie gets put in.

" I really missed you, guys!" I say to them, smiling.

" We missed you, too!" They all say back, as the lights dim in the living room. I make myself comfortable in Paul's lap, using the armrest as a pillow as the movie starts.

" Comfy?" Paul whispers by my ear and I can feel his hot breath on my neck. An unexpected shiver goes through my entire body and my heart rate spikes up.

" Totally." My voice cracks on that one word though.

I move my body closer to Paul as I watch the movie. I know Paul is smirking but I ignore his confidant and cockiness and watch the movie. My eyes slowly close and I can feel Paul absentmindedly playing with my hair as I slowly slip into dreams of Paul, my imprint.
