Chapter 3

Now all I had to do was fall into place with my friends. It was the middle of the day. Jacob had left to visit Renesmee. I went home to tell my mom. I walked back through the reservation. I saw Sam Uley with his pack.

"Alex!" Sam called.

I went over to see what he wanted. Sam was the alpha of his pack, the first of the wolves to phase. I had looked up to him as an alpha but had already decided to join Jacob's pack. Sam was great but way too serious about things.

"I heard from Jake that you changed." He smiled.

"Yeah…and?" I spoke sarcastically.

"You want to join my pack?" he asked.

"No thank you." I spoke politely.

I wasn't going to disrespect Sam in front of his pack. Besides with huge Paul and Jared there I wouldn't stand a chance. It would've been three to one. I would've been destroyed.

"Joining Jacob eh?" he asked.

"Yeah." I replied and started to walk away.

I wouldn't join Sam. I just didn't like him. I don't know why but I just didn't. I went home. My mom was sitting in the kitchen. She had a serious look on her face.

I hope she doesn't know. I thought. I don't want her to think that her son was a monster.

"Hey mom." I smiled. I tried to act like if nothing happened.

"Alex sit down" She spoke calmly. Her expression was serious. She stared straight at me.

"Okay…what's wrong?" I asked.

"I know what's going on….the tribe's elders told me."

"You're not afraid?" I asked. I hoped that she didn't lock me in my room and put a collar on me like a pet.

"No. I'm proud. Your father went through the same thing. But he died protecting me from vampires. I was his imprint….." She whispered.

Tears streamed down her cheeks and she looked away. I couldn't even imagine the pain she felt. I held my mom closely as she cried. I never wanted to experience what she felt. Mom suggested that I leave for a moment. She needed time to grieve over my dad. I went outside to the beach. I sat on the sand and stared at the sky. The cool wind felt good against my skin.

Dad….I'm following in your footsteps….I hope you're proud. I thought.
