BPOV
I walked through a back door into a gorgeous yard. There was a circle set up with seats made of the most inviting beautiful driftwood I had ever seen. In the middle of the circle was a beautiful wrought iron fire pit. The rest of the yard was built for family. There was a volleyball net, a basketball court and beautiful lush landscaping. We sat around the circle where Quil again pulled me in his lap. It just felt like I belonged.
"Bella, I have a few things to explain to you." Sam looked so serious. I started shaking. Quil immediately place his hand on my back rubbing little circles instantly calming me.
"OK Sam hit me." What am I going to do if he kicks me off the rez? How will I see Quil? Wait why am I so worried about Quil?
"Bella did you ever hear the Quillete's legends?" I nodded."Well Bella the legends are true."
"Sam, what are you saying? I am confused." Do they know about the Cullens?
"Bella, we are werewolves."
"Show me." Quil gently picked me up and set me down next to him. I immediately missed him and my chest started to hurt. He trotted off to the edge of the yard just barely out of sight. After what felt like forever a beautiful tan wolf hesitantly trotted over and stopped about six feet away. Once I looked into the eyes I knew. I ran over and wrapped my arms around Quil who started purring as I rubbed his belly. Just then the back door slammed open and flew halfway across the yard.
"What the hell is going on?"
Jacob stormed through the backyard and glared at Quil. "What so Quil can tell Bella the stories and be around Bella but I can't. What the FUCK SAM?"
Sam just stared at Jacob and Quil moved in front of me growling. "Jacob calm down. You are scaring Bella and upsetting Quil and Emily." Sam seemed almost to calm as Jacob stalked closer "Jacob sit down now." Sam's voice took on a reverence that was meant for respect and to be obeyed. Wow Jacob sat as if his legs buckled from underneath him. I swear I tried to keep Jacob on the friend level and let him know that our relationship would never be more than that of a sibling nature.
Sam continued and Quil got up and walked to the woods. I involuntary let out a whimper. Jacob looked at me with pain in his eyes. Quil came running out of the woods and picked me up off the ground spinning me in a circle while kissing me on the cheek.
"Bella, Quil needs to explain something to you. It is another part of the legends." Sam looked at Jacob who was visibly shaking.
Quil sat down with me in his lap and nervously started talking. "Baby, there is a thing that happens when you are a wolf. You see when you find your uh soul mate you uh imprint on them. Basically baby I live to love and protect you. You see I can never leave you and honestly I don't want to even try."
I look at Sam who is smiling adoringly at Emily and then at Jacob who is shaking so badly and looking at Quil as if he wants to kill him.
"What the fuck Quil? You knew she was mine and yet you proceeded to take advantage of her."
"Jacob Black !! No one took advantage of me!! Quil was being nothing but a friend because you sent me away !! Get over yourself !!" Jacob was really pissing me off. How dare he yell at Quil like that. It was certainly not Quil's fault that this happened.
Jacob yelled at Quil in almost the same voice timbre that Sam used. "Quil you will stay away from Bella." Quil stood quickly and started to walk away. The pain opened in my chest and I immediately fell to the ground curled in to a ball and started to cry. I heard Sam yelling, "Jacob you cannot do this to Quil and look how you are hurting Bella. Retract that command right away or I will give you a command that you will never be able to come back from."
Quil was almost a half mile away already when Jacob retracted the command. I could barely see him. As soon as Jacob uttered the words I felt the whole in my chest begin to close and my pain was slowly lifting . I heard running footsteps and cried in joy when Quil picked me up in his arms. Between the warmth of Quil's body and the relief I felt my eyes started growing heavy. The last thing I heard was Jacob saying "There has to be a way to break the imprint."
