Chapter 3
I looked in his eye's and gasp, everything stopped, it was like everything else in the world faded out, it didn't exist but us two. The electrical current going through our hands was intensifying. I broke the gaze and turned my head trying to clear my head. What happened? All thoughts of Edward had just disappeared. I just realized it didn't hurt when I thought his name anymore. Maybe I am getting over him. I heard Paul laugh.
"I take it you feel it too? It makes sense, now that you used your wolf form for the first time." Paul said.
"What are you talking about?" I said trying to avoid his gaze, but it was like some pull was trying to make me look at him.
"We need to talk and I will explain some of the legends and rules to you, but Sam is Alpha so he will explain again but with some orders." He looked at me and I nodded to let him know to go on. "Well there are things about werewolves that happen that don't happen to humans. Like our anger turns us into our wolf forms, but once you get some control you can phase on your own with out getting angry. The smell you smell with the bloodsuckers, that is how we can tell where they are, we smell different to them too. We have a treaty with the Cullens..." I winced. "Yeah I seen that, I still can't get over the fact you still want them, No don't talk yet I'm not done, you can talk after. I have to tell you something important and if you interrupt I don't know if I can."
I nodded again to let him know I wouldn't but my hands were shaking from what he said about the Cullens. "Ok, there is a thing called imprinting. It's what happens when werewolves find their I guess you can call it soul mate, That's what Emily is to Sam. After you phase for the first time, I guess it activates. I imprinted on you." I felt my mouth drop open. I sat there for a while when I finally spoke.
"When?" I don't think I could have said anything else.
"When you came to the First Beach with your classmates. I knew how you felt about the Cullens and I didn't think you would want me. So I stayed away. Yesterday when you came to Jake's with the bike, it was like my world stopped. I tried so hard to stay away after the beach, but there were days where I sat in the woods behind your house listening to you sleep. The pack is actually glad your one of us now, I would drive them crazy with my temper. Seeing you with that bloodsucker, would send me in a rage. You were all I would think about and you didn't even know I existed. When Sam found you in the woods, I felt like I would die. It took Sam to order me not to go hunt down that bastard who did that to you. Even then I was phasing in public, I was out of control. I still am, but I noticed that I am alot calmer when I am around you." I cut him off, I was pissed I could feel anger rolling off of me, I jumped up.
"How could you! If you would have said something 10 months ago, I wouldn't have gone through 4 months of being a freaking zombie! I would have never had my heart broken, I tortured Charlie for no reason. I lost all my friends. YOU and YOU alone had the power to prevent it and you didn't!" I was shaking by this time.
"Bella, calm down." Paul said but I didn't hear him. My vision flashed red, I felt the heat again, and a tremur run up my back, I phased and lunged at him. I knocked him over and he phased too. I could tell he didn't want to hurt me, but I didn't care I just wanted to hurt him like I was hurt. I kept on trying to bite him and I could hear the other boys placing bets on who would win. I could also hear Paul, and it was beginning to get tough to keep fighting him when he was telling me to calm down and that he loved me. Then Sam broke in.
"Stop NOW!" He ordered. Of course we had to stop. I stood there growling.
Beth came over to me and hugged my neck and said, "Nice doggy." I growled and she laughed.
Then she said, "Bella, you are staying at my house tonight. I want you to meet our father." I nodded.
Paul said that we would all meet over Sam's house in the morning to go over the rules. I ignored him and followed Beth to her house. She ran in and grabbed another dress for me and I phased and got dressed and followed her into the house. I stood in the door and I seen a man sitting at the kitchen table drinking coffee, reading the paper. He glanced up at Beth, then seen me and dropped his cup.
"Bella?" He whispered. I nodded and he came up to me and wrapped me in a hug. I could feel his tears on my head.
"I'm so sorry, Come sit and I will explain to you both what is going on." He took my hand and led me to the table, both me and my sister sat next to one another. He sat across from us looking back and forth between us like he couldn't believe we were both here. I heard a gasp from beside me in the hallway and I looked. There was a very pretty Indian lady standing there in pajama's looking shocked. Then my father spoke, "Cindy, honey, this is Bella. Come sit and I am gonna explain to them why we hid the truth from them."First tell me how much you know."
Beth spoke first, "Well last night, I started to feel really sad, so I thought in my head why am I sad all of a sudden, then I heard Bella's voice in my head saying she was sad. We talked in our head's for a couple hours then decided to meet at First Beach, on the way there I smelled something really horrible, so I called out to her cause I remembered your stories about how the cold ones smelled bad, she heard me and she had a pack of wolves with her, the pack killed them and Bella and I left cause we were mad at them and they kept telling us to calm down but wouldn't tell us anything. We went to a meadow when we ran into a cold one that Bella knew we both phased and attacked him when the pack came along again and Paul I think it was, who by the way is Bella's imprint." I growled at that and she smirked but kept on talking, "So anyway Paul came along and finished killing him, we burned him and then here we are, oh but them Bella got mad at Paul and attacked him." She said the last part laughing.
Our 'father' looked shocked. Then he looked at me and said, "So you know what an imprint is then." I nodded and growled. He laughed and said, "Ok that's good cause that is what happened here." He looked at his wife and smiled. Then he frowned and said to us.
"I met your mother Renee before she was married. Charlie was good friends with Billy Black, who I grew up with, so I met her about a month before her wedding. We fell in love, we thought it was love at first sight, but of course we were wrong. I was the only one who had phased, cause I came into contact with a couple vampires in Alaska, there is a coven of them in Dalani, "I gasped and said, "Tanya"
He looked at me and said, "You know of them?"
I nodded and said, "I dated one of the Cullens and they told me about them."
He looked shocked and said, "You dated a Vampire, and your still here to tell about it?"
I said,"Yes they were very nice, I love Edward, but he doesn't love me anymore. He left about 4 months ago. I guess that's why my gene got activated."
He continued with a look that said we would talk about it later. "Anyway, Me and Renee, snuck off and well you know. She told me she had to think about what to tell Charlie, so I gave her a week, and went to the Makah Reservation in Canada, where I imprinted on Cindy here. I was heart broken. I came back and told Renee about her and she told me she was pregnant with you two. She decided to get married to Charlie and let him think you were his, it made it easier that you both have your mother's completion. They couldn't afford two children, so I still loved her even though I had imprinted. We decided to split you up so we would each have a part of each other. I took you, Beth up to the Mekah Rez so you wouldn't run into Bella or Charlie. Eventually Renee moved with Bella to Phoenix, we still couldn't come back in case Charlie seen Beth. But Bella, when you first moved here again, Renee called me and told me that she sent you here because of a coven of vampires that she seen move down there, she didn't want the gene activated in you. We moved back here to keep an eye on you. But of course I didn't think about the Cullens. So do you have anymore questions?"
I shook my head no, but Beth said, "Well dad, Bella isn't the only one to imprint."
I looked at here shocked, and she said, "Jake."
I gasped and said, "Well, no wonder he was staring at you." I laughed.
She looked at me and said, "So your not mad?"
I gave her a hug and said, "No, Beth, I'm happy for you and Jake. He deserves love. He put me back together, I could never love him back. I'm not even sure what to do with Paul yet. I guess I'm stuck with him though." I said with a grimace.
"Well you girls have had a long night, so why don't you go get some sleep and I'll have Cindy call Charlie and let him know that you are here, Bella. I'm sure he doesn't want to talk to me. I'm going to have to call Renee though." He said with a frown.
Beth and I went to her room where we both fell on her king size bed and passed out.
