EDWARDS POV
I leant back in my seat, eyes closed willing the time away, it wasn't that I didn't like flying it was all the incessant noise, sometimes it was hard to switch off, I listened to the thoughts of my siblings. Alice was excited she'd had visions of our new life in forks and couldn't wait for it to begin, Jasper felt gratitude to the polar bear that had died at his hands before we left Alaska not only had it put up quite a fight but it had sated Jazz enough to endure the scent of human blood in the small cabin.
Rose and Emmett were … well Rose and Emmett, Em was thinking about sex and Rose was thinking about herself – some things never changed I chuckled. Jazz looked at me eyebrows raised and I shook my head.
I thought about Forks, we hadn't been there in decades, I was actually looking forward to it in a way it might be the wettest place in the continental US, but it was a change from Alaska. The only thing I wasn't looking forward to were the shifters my mind drifted back to when we had first meet Ephraim Black and formed the treaty, there were only three wolves then, but god did they stink – it was like an earthy wet dog smell, I shuddered in disgust.
Jazz leant over "are you ok" he looked concerned, I was puzzled "why wouldn't I be" he frowned "your feeling repulsed" I laughed until I realised everyone was looking at me "I was thinking of the shifters scent"
Rose shuddered "uggg wet dog" and Em chipped in "yep and dirt, wet dog and dirt" we all laughed receiving confused looks from the rest of the people on board the plane.
After we had settled down my thoughts returned to forks, Carlisle had rung to inform us that there were Quileute's currently shifting, eight in fact which was a lot more than last time, and that we were to meet them at midnight tonight to introduce ourselves and familiarise scents, that should be fun - not.
The plane landed on time for a change, we grabbed our hand luggage and made our way to the exit, Esme had arranged for a company to transport the rest of our stuff.
Carlisle was waiting outside in a rented Ford Expedition, he was taking us straight to a showroom to collect the new cars we had ordered, I couldn't wait for everyone to see mine I'd had a Volvo now for years, but this time I had ordered a Range Rover Sport, a nagging thought in my brain assured me I needed something bigger. Emmett was going to be pleased he always ribbed me over my sissy cars.
We arrived at the warehouse eager to see what each other had chosen, the first car to be driven out was a black Mercedes Cl-Class that was obviously Carlisle's, the guy jumped out and gave him the keys, Next was a Hummer we all groaned – Emmett "what "he said shrugging his shoulders "it's a beast and so am I" he shrugged and jumped in, what an ass. The rest followed in quick succession Alice had a Porsche, Rose an Audi, Jasper a Ducati superbike then lastly my Range Rover, my siblings were shocked and Emmett smirked "maybe just maybe he's not gay" and shut his door, I gave him the finger and got in my car, everyone was now sat in there vehicles fiddling with buttons, I could hear there minds pondering different buttons and dials "Guys" I said they all looked up thanks to vampire hearing "want to race" they all laughed and nodded "on three, one, two, three" and we were gone. We got to forks in no time, Jasper won thanks to the fact he didn't have to sit in traffic like the rest of us but it had been fun.
Esme was waiting for us at the door of our new home, Forks was as beautiful as it had always been, I took in a deep breath of pine and sea salt and felt like I'd returned home it was a feeling I had never felt in 107 years of existence and I revelled in it. "Come on guys I will show you your rooms and then we have to meet the wolves" Esme explained we all groaned. No one was looking forward to the meeting.
Two hours later we were all ready to go, I just wanted to get this over with and by listening to the others thoughts I could tell they felt the same, except Alice who was positively ecstatic, and repetively humming the national anthem in her thoughts i frowned
"Alice are you blocking me" I raised an eyebrow, she smirked "would I do that to you Edward, your looking nice by they way" what the heck was she on about, I shook my head and the whisper of a grin formed on her face.
"Lets go" Carlisle ordered "race" shouted Emmett and we were gone, I whipped through the trees to the clearing, this had to be the best bit about being a vampire the speed was addictive. I got to the clearing a minute before the rest who all rocked up together Emmett was pissed "Jammy bastard I will beat you one day" he pushed me jokingly "Emmett I doubt that very much" came Jaspers southern drawl. Suddenly the floor started to rumble "there coming" Carlisle stated we stood in a line Carlisle in the middle with me and Esme on either side of him, Alice and Jazz beside me, Rose and Emmett, beside Esme.
"They are arguing" I explained "why" Carlisle asked, "The alpha wants them to stay as wolf he doesn't trust us, but the beta thinks they should face us human"
"They will stay wolf" Jasper added "the Alpha decides the rules I'm surprised they are arguing about it" he shrugged and we waited
The wolves started to appear through the trees our first collective thought was how huge they were, more like horses than wolves. Then came the smell I heard Emmett mutter "fuck they stink" he screwed up his nose, Carlisle shot him a glare "Don't breath then" Emmett nodded. I counted the wolves seven, I thought there were eight, suddenly the answer to my question appeared from the bushes.
A huge Quileute boy walked from behind the wolves, wearing nothing but a pair of shorts he must have been 6ft 7, had short spiky black hair which he nervously ran his hands through – he was ….. He was my thoughts wouldn't work "beautiful" I heard Alice sigh and Rose and Esme nodded. That's what he was beautiful. He walked straight past the growling wolves with an air of power and dominance and up to Carlisle, holding out his hand as a greeting. Carlisle stepped forward "nice to meet you I am Dr Carlisle Cullen you must be Sam the Quileute alpha"
"Nope I am Jacob the Quileute beta," he said shaking Carlisle's hand, god his voice was dark and authorative, almost domineering.
Carlisle was visibly surprised to be greeted by the beta "Sorry Jacob I assumed Sam would meet us" Jacob pointedly looked at the wolves his mind was a whirl of anger, the wolves all watched Jacob in awe there minds a confused muddle
"I have the most self control with phasing," he stated but his mind said different and our alpha is an asshole that hasn't got a clue I frowned
"Ok then Jacob I will introduce my family and then you can introduce the wolves, they can scent us is that ok?" Jacob looked at the large black wolf who nodded, I'm sure that was said asshole alpha but I had given up trying to listen.
"Looks like that's a yes lets get this done so we can leave" he coldly stated his thoughts were going at one hundred miles an hour fuck they stink, my nose is burning bleach and sugar is a bad combination "Right You obviously know me, this is Esme my wife" Esme smiled warmly at Jacob, he nodded "Edward" I stepped forward " my first son, Edward has a gift he can read your thoughts" without even looking at me he turned around "DON'T THINK ABOUT ANYTHING BUT BASEBALL" his voice boomed all the wolves nodded even the one I was convinced was alpha – maybe I was wrong.
He turned back round to face me and for the first time I really looked at him, suddenly I felt like I belonged, gone was the wolf smell it was replaced with pine and sea salt, I suddenly needed this wolf more than my own existence, oh my god I looked at Alice who grinned she knew the bitch knew, I had just identified this Quileute man as my mate, a wolf who was born to destroy my kind, I waited 107 years for a fucking mind was buzzing as Carlisle continued to introduce us, each taking turns to step forward, he explained our gifts Jacob seemed to take all this information in but I couldn't read him now he was blocking me nobody could block me not even my own family, I was actually starting to get pissed. Jazz sensed my emotions and calm descended upon me, I looked at him gratefully.
"Right the wolves will come up and scent you one at a time I will introduce them" Carlisle agreed and the procession started it was a bit weird being sniffed by a growling wolf, Rosalie's thoughts were repulsed, jasper wanted to kill someone – but definitely not a wolf they stank, Emmett wanted to wrestle the black one as he was the biggest typical Emmett, the rest of us just stood there with indifference. We were all surprised when one wolf turned out to be a girl, I think her name was Leah, she looked about as impressed as Rosalie with the situation.
I was startled from my musing by Jacob "Right I'm going to phase I need to scent you as a wolf " Carlisle nodded. Jacob proceeded to strip naked in front of all of us, I actually growled which earned me a frown from every member of my family except Alice and a sarcastic wink from Jacob his body started to shimmer and then in his place was a huge russet wolf, even Rosalie's thoughts were in awe I'm not sure if it was from his body, the phasing or the size of him
"Fuck me dude you're massive" the wolf snarled at Emmett's comment I rolled my eyes,
Shame he stinks thought Rosalie me and Em could share him The images that followed were pornographic, I was in Rosalie's face before anyone saw me move "He's MINE" I growled low enough for the wolves not to hear but my family sure did. Rose look stunned and stepped back confusion marring her features.
Jacob began the scenting procession his block was down I hated watching him this close to anyone but his thoughts showed he wasn't enjoying it, the other quileutes now in human form watched silently from the side of the forest my nose is burning so bad it feels like its guna explode they all smell the same like bleach and candyfloss- I'm never eating candyfloss again, I cant believe I'm actually sniffing leaches fuck my life he was thinking as he got to me he sniffed me a few times getting closer he smells different sort of like vanilla and musk I wonder why its kinda nice, god did I just think that about a leech Carlisle cleared his throat oh fuck thought Jacob awkward and carried on down the line.
Once he had finished he turned back to human with no effort at all and pulled on his shorts giving us all a glorious view of his body again I groaned, he smirked at me not gay bloodsucker and even if I was I wouldn't fuck a leech he then turned to the wolves "PHASE BACK", turning to Carlisle he held out his hand "right are you clear with the rules of the treaty" Carlisle nodded "I still have a copy" Jacob glared at us all "Stay away from us, we will stay away from you. Stick to the treaty and there will be no problems goodbye"
He turned and leapt morphing in to the giant wolf before he hit the floor, his shorts turned to confetti and littered the ground, I sighed loudly the peace was short lived however "PLEASE TELL ME YOU DIDN'T JUST FIND YOUR MATE IN THE FORM OF A DOG A FUCKING STINKING MALE DOG" Rose screeched
I had Rose by her neck against the tree before anyone could move "disrespect him again and you will be ash" I dropped her and left racing through the forest how the hell could my mate be a wolf a male wolf, I was repulsed and excited at the same time.
JACOBS POV
The pack had arranged to meet outside Sam's at 11.30; I was currently making my way there. Sam and I had avoided each other since the Leah incident, the boys had already had a full action reply of our half hour of fun thanks to Leah and her over active mind, not that any off them gave a shit I'm sure they would have all done it given the chance, apart from Seth who had been physically sick, not that I would want to see my sister begging to be fucked, they all assumed this was the cause of the problem between Sam and I.
I was the last to arrive the others were phased already so I stripped and tied my clothes to my ankle and joined them Nice of you to turn up spat Sam Fuck off asshole everyone gasped and looked at me like I had two heads, I had just disrespected the alpha they all thought I was guna get my ass handed to me on a plate, so they were shocked that Sam ignored me.
RIGHT HEAD STRAIGHT TO THE CLEARING we all started to run
YOU WILL NOT PHASE BACK TO HUMAN I DO NOT TRUST THE LEECHES he was such a jerk hey Sam I don't want to fuck up your master plan but how the fuck will we talk to them if were all wolves the pack laughed collectively until Sam growled Fine Jacob as you think its important to be human you phase and we will stay wolf He couldn't be serious Sam you are the alpha you need to talk to them, we should all phase – show solidarity the pack all nodded in agreement we were nearly there I could smell them YOU WILL NOT PHASE TO HUMAN Sam spat someone needs to communicate you jerk, I SAID STAY WOLF BLACK we arrived at the clearing FUCK YOU ULEY I phased to human and put on my shorts I could feel the confusion in the pack mind even as human – I had just defied an alpha order.
I stepped between the wolves making my way to the leeches my nose felt like it was going to explode, I had smelt leech before but this was intense, there were so many it was overpowering, my wolf wanted to kill, he was fighting to get out, I growled at myself cursing Sam's existence. The leader greeted me seemingly shocked I wasn't alpha, I could feel the packs discomfort it was strange I had never been able to feel then as a human, The male vamp started to introduce his coven.
I wasn't really interested I just wanted to get the fuck out of there I actually felt sick the stench was that bad, I was shocked at the mind reading son, the council hadn't told us vamps had powers, shit what had he already heard "DON'T THINK ABOUT ANYTHING BUT BASEBALL" I had ordered the pack without even thinking about it, my block was immediately up – blocking was something I was good at, with the amount of shit I got up to I had to be or the pack would have kicked me out by now, the introductions continued a mind reader, a sear and a empath, fuck they were powerful so are you growled my wolf.
I introduced the pack one at a time, I could feel the angst and hatred radiating of the wolves, I'd forgot my wolf would need to scent them I would have to get naked, what should I do hell I wasn't shy fuck them "Right I'm going to phase I need to scent you as a wolf " the leader nodded, and I started to strip I could feel the wolves amusement, and sense the vamps discomfort but i just carried on, the mind reader actually growled at me – so In true Jake form I winked ha that take that pretty boy. I phased immediately "Fuck me dude your massive" the huge one said, I snarled hoping to sound intimidating and started at the beginning Jesus this was bad my eyes were actually running, bleach and candyfloss, never eating candyfloss again, then I stopped this was different I sniffed him again vanilla and musk it was kinda nice how weird, I cant believe I was thinking that about a leech, the leader cleared his throat interrupting my thoughts shit that was awkward oh hell that's the mind reader, I put my block straight back up.
I phased back right in front of them and I'm sure the mind reader groaned I looked straight at him, he was hot I felt my dick twitch, fuck that I wasn't gay I liked pussy and lots of it but I could still play I lifted the block and thought loud and clear not gay bloodsucker and even if I was I wouldn't fuck a leech. Introductions over I checked the rules of the treaty were known to them, gathered the pack and left.
