Chapter 7- Wolf Wonder

Thank you all for reviewing/ favoriting/ alerting :D you guys all are awesome. I want to dedicate this chapter to pattyofurnitue, who left an amazing review!! I also recommend her story I Need to Think, it is one of my favorites :D Enjoy the new chappie!

Every part of me felt like it was lit on fire. Just as I thought I wasn't going to be able to take it anymore it was over. I heard a rip and based on what I knew about phasing was pretty sure it was my clothes. A new sensation was running through me, the sensation of every bone in my body breaking and rearranging. It was easily the most painful of my life, including when James bit me. I screamed, but it came out as a howl.

The fire from the vampire bite had been different. Then it felt like liquid fire was coursing through my veins. This was so much worse, the fire consumed everything: flesh, blood, and bone.

All of a sudden everything stopped. I was now super aware of everything around me. Every sound, every move, just everything was so much more clear. The forest around me was revealed in a new light. I could see much farther away, see every little insect land on leaves in the big trees surrounding me. The sounds were also much more clear. I could hear tiny forest animals scurrying across the fern-covered floor.

I looked down at my feet, or rather my new furry, snow-white paws. I was a werewolf! I began noticing other changes too, once the initial shock of everything wore off a little bit. The air felt cool, but good against my shaggy fur. I realized my body temperature was now a lot higher.

I remembered back to what Jacob said about phasing. He said the first time it was the most terrible thing that had ever happened to him. Once you got past the pain, it wasn't really that bad. It was actually amazing. I supposed though that I was a lot more informed on werewolves then he was at the time of his first phase, and I also knew it was going to happen to me. I hadn't had the surprise factor like Jake had.

He said the only thing that kept him sane were the voices in his head telling him what to do. I listened intently for a moment. No voices in my head. Taha-Aki had been right. He had said I could share the thoughts I wanted to though, I wondered about how I could do that, and just as I was about to try, someone behind me spoke.

"Your enemy is approaching. Be careful in the attack, if this goes badly they are many lives at stake," Taha- Aki spoke before vanishing out of thin air.

I tensed. I only had one enemy. Vampires. How ironic that what I had once dreamed of becoming was now something I hated? I couldn't help it. I had tried many times to make Jacob quit calling them bloodsuckers and leeches, but now I knew why he did it. The hatred ran through my veins too. Why wouldn't I insult them? It was simply natural to do so. I always thought that Jacob would be able to stop if he really wanted to. I knew now it must be very hard for him to sit there and listen to me chastise him about hating his mortal enemy. But he had tried anyways, just to make me happy. I loved him so much.

I smelled it then, and all thoughts were wiped from my mind. I was now a predator seeking its prey, and there was no way it was going to escape. It was sickly sweet, invading the air like poison gas, burning my nostrils.

The smell came ever nearer. My predator instincts took over completely now. I hunched down, braced for the attack.

Then I saw her. She had stepped out of the clearing. She stopped dead in her tracks, looking at me blankly. I remembered then she was drawn to my scent or my looks. Possibly both.

Victoria had just stepped in through the clearing. I thought the rest of the pack, my pack, I realized, had been out hunting her? She must have somehow circled around or something. I had to defeat her. There were lives at stake. Lives of the tribe, of Forks citizens, innocent people all over the world. I wanted to be the one to defeat her, to end the worry I'd been feeling for months. I wasn't going to sit around and wait for the pack to help me.

How I felt was what I hadn't expected. The hatred coursed through my veins. I had expected to feel scared. I knew I didn't need to be scared now. She was the one who needed to be fearing for her life. I snorted. Her existence. Whatever the hell bloodsuckers were anyways. I felt another surge of hatred at the word, and launched myself towards her with a howl.

It was a miracle I knew what to do. It didn't take any thought, any planning, I launched myself towards her neck. She made no move to oppose me. I understood what the Spirit wolf had told me about using me as bait, because I could basically incapacitate a victim, and then either me or the pack would very easily be able to take her down, though I wasn't sure how long I could hold them there defenseless. I howled again as I tore her head clear off her shoulders, hearing the sound of the stone hard skin being torn apart.

The rest followed quickly. I tore her apart, feeling a strange sense of relief with every part of her that I disconnected. She'd never bother me again, or anyone else for that matter.

I stood over the parts of the former leech, remembering that the only true way to kill them was to rip them apart and then light those parts on fire. I wasn't exactly sure how essential the part about them being on fire was, so I decided to stay here knowing the rest of the pack would find me. In less than a minute after I had killed Victoria, the rest of the pack approached me, I had heard them coming. The extra senses really were amazing.

The pack circled the clearing. Each one of them was focused on me, looking at me with looks of awe on their faces. I found the russet-colored wolf that I knew what was Jake. I looked him in the eye, wondering what he thought about the new me, although, I remembered they didn't yet know it was me. One of them, Quil I think, phased back to light the parts on fire with a lighter he pulled out of his pocket.

Jake looked back into my eyes lovingly. I knew that meant he had imprinted just like Taha-Aki had predicted. I remembered then that I had to try to communicate with Sam.

I looked at Sam and said in my mind, almost like I was talking. "Sam?"

Immediately, lots of thoughts filled my mind. I guess I had turned on my pack mind.

"Bella?" chorused several voices in my mind.

"Holy shit." someone else said.

"What the hell?"

It was all very strange to me, knowing that many people's thoughts.

"Bella how did this happen?" asked Sam.

"Can I phase and tell you?" I asked. It was uncomfortable to be in the form. The other wolves assured me I'd get used to it soon enough.

"I'll help you phase," said the wolf I knew to be Sam, looking into my eyes with concern. "Leah, will you please get her some clothes? The rest of you, go back to Emily's. Looks like we're going to have to cancel the bonfire until we get this all figured out."

The wolves all phased, and pulled on their clothes quickly, all except Leah, who ran off, probably to get me something to wear.

Jacob stood at the end of the clearing, obviously reluctant to leave. "I can help her Sam." he said.

As I caught his eye, I realized that making one decision this morning, the decision to come back to Jake, had changed my life in more ways than thought would have been possible.

Sam shook his head and Jacob walked away. "I wanted to talk to you first. I don't want all the interruptions from the rest of the pack, they can get distracting," Sam said.

I nodded my head and said, " I really would feel much better telling the story as a human. It's just too weird for me right now," I told him honestly.

"Of course," Sam said. "Leah should be here any minute and then we'll get started."

While we waited, I thought to myself about Jacob. He was the best guy I could ever ask for, and I owed him so much. He'd been nothing but good to me. He was perfect. I loved him so much. Edward was just, I shuddered. I can't believed I had dated a freaking LEECH! I realized then that I must have shared that thought aloud.

"Glad you're finally seeing sense, sister," said Leah Clearwater, who had just stepped into the clearing with a bag of what I presumed to be clothes in her bag. "I hope we can be close. Sorry for being such a bitch to you before. Even though we are true bitches now." she said, jokingly.

She dropped the bag of clothes at my feet and turned away, running back to the fire. I felt her phase back and Sam turned his attention back to me, he had been thinking about Emily.

"That's pretty unusual for Leah," he said, "She hasn't been very accepting to being the only girl in the pack."

"I'm sure we'll be good friends," I said.

"I hope so. I want to see her happy again," Sam said, and I could feel the truth in his words.

"Now, to phase back, think of yourself in human form. Let yourself relax and think of things that make you happy."

"Okay," I told him. I began to think of Jake, of the time we spent together today, kissing him. I felt myself phase, the bones breaking again and rearranging themselves. This time it wasn't very painful.

I laid naked on the forest floor, and quickly grabbed the bag that Leah had brought. Sam had turned his back, and was already dressed in cut-off shorts. As I started to pull on the cotton shorts she brought me, I noticed the differences.

My legs seemed longer by quite a little, I noticed. . The thing most shocking though, was the color of my skin. I was no longer albino pale, but a very pleasant tan color. Not as dark as the rest of the pack members, but nonetheless very pretty.

I noted a few other things too. My curves seemed to have filled out by a substantial amount. The black shorts sat low on my hips, and only came down about five inches down my thighs. I put my hands over my backside, feeling the curve that was now present.

As I pulled on the green tank top, I noticed my breasts had grown probably two cup sizes, and the bra Leah had included didn't fit. I guess I'd have to do without. Anyway, the tank top fit very tightly to my body and fell short, exposing a couple of inches of pretty tan skin.

I felt at least six foot tall. My body was hard all over, muscular, but in a sexy way. That would definitely take some getting used to. I was also amazed that I felt so much more graceful.

I looked at my hair, which fell just below my breasts, and noticed it was dark brown, sleek and shiny, with big, perfect curls. I wondered what Jake was going to think of this.

For once, I honestly couldn't wait to look in the mirror. I looked down at myself, noting I wasn't very well covered.

"I'm decent," I told Sam. My voice had changed, I noted, it was smooth and sultry. I had a feeling Jake was going to have to deal with a lot of competition. Even though they, of course, would never compare to Jake.

He turned around, and instantly his expression became shocked. He scanned up and down my body with a dumbfounded expression. "You-you call that decent!" He said exasperatedly.

I giggled, which was strange, and it sounded like little bells. "Well, apparently Leah hadn't accounted for the new additions," I said, gesturing to myself.

"Obviously not," he smiled. "The boys are going to go crazy," he said laughing.

"Jake is going to love that, I bet," I said, laughing along with him.

"I bet. Well, you better tell me about this now, so we can get back to the pack, they're bound to be curious out of their minds."

"Okay. Well it started right after Jake dropped me off at your place. I was feeling worried sick, so Emily took me up to the guest bedroom and told me to wait until you guys got back. I looked out the window and I saw something strange. I tried a few things to see if I was just imagining it, but it was really there, " I began. Sam looked very curious.

"It was a wolf, but not any wolf. It was transparent, like a ghost. At first I thought I was simply going crazy, but then I thought that if vampires and werewolves could exist, so could ghosts. For some odd reason, I felt that the wolf was pulling me outside to where it stood in your woods. Somehow, I managed to sneak out of your house with out Emily noticing a thing. I followed the wolf to this clearing, and he said his name was Taha-Aki, and that he was the first Quileute werewolf. Now he looks after the current pack to make sure they stay safe. He called himself the protector of the protectors."

"He told me that I was in danger and that he'd been watching me lately. He said that for some reason, the true Alpha, Jacob, hadn't taken his position yet," Sam nodded and said, "I've been wondering about that, too. It's in his blood to be the Alpha, and he refuses. It's not in werewolf nature to refuse your rightful position in the pack."

"He said that Jacob had partially imprinted on me, but that it hadn't worked completely since I wasn't Quileute, and that would prevent the werewolf genes from being as strong. He said if I was a true Quileute he would imprint on me," I continued.

"A partial imprint? Very interesting. That does explain a lot, though. How Jacob was able to get around the injunction to not see you or tell the secret, but he couldn't totally get around it. Or how the pack feels a need to protect you like they do the rest of the imprints."

I nodded in agreement with Sam. "Taha-Aki said that once Jacob imprinted he would take his true place so he could protect me and that we would have a baby that would be the most powerful Alpha in tribe history, and we would need him soon. He said if I became a werewolf that Jacob would imprint on me, take his place as Alpha, and then the pack would be unstoppably strong." This time, it was Sam's turn to nod in understanding.

"He also wanted to make me a werewolf because of the special powers he said I'd have. He claimed I'd change a little more once I phased back to a human, which is obviously true. Though I would call this more than a little change. He said I would be able to attract vampires and werewolves with my scent and my appearance in human form and wolf form. "

"I was wondering about that. Usually when we phase back as humans the changes aren't as drastic. You mostly grow a couple of inches and your muscles are a lot more defined. You got some extra stuff though," he said, laughing. I laughed with him.

"He said I would be able to be used as bait, and that I would be strong enough to take down them by myself or with the pack. That's how I killed Victoria. As soon as she saw me, she was completely stunned, and killing her was extremely easy. He said I'd be so wise, I would eventually be second in command."

"I can see that. The whole pack was stunned when we stepped into the clearing. Well, you are definitely going to be an asset to the pack. The boys are going to be jealous," Sam said. I laughed again.

"He told me that since Edward couldn't read my mind, that I would be able to turn on and off my pack mind, which was why you couldn't hear me before. He said I would be very gifted.

Since he said this would be the best thing for the pack and myself, I agreed to let him turn me into a werewolf. It wasn't very bad. Now I'm here taking to you," I said with a smile.

"Well," said Sam, "I guess I'd better welcome you into the pack." he said, with a smile.

"We can discuss everything else later of course. We'd better get back before Jake comes hunting me down. He's probably dying to see you."

Sam and I phased, and he was shocked that I didn't even need directions and phased into my wolf self automatically, as if I'd been doing it for awhile. I guess this would come naturally. Thank god, I thought to myself. I've had just about enough of the supernatural.
