SAMS POV

When we came about three miles near Bella's house last night we could smell Edward. His scent was fresh and I would guess that he has been doing this a lot because he knew his way around to well. He ran like a little bitch before we got to him. That's of course is when the alcohol really kicked in. We rounded the house and ran into the trash cans. Paul almost told Bella the vamps secret in his drunken stupor. That would have violated the treaty on our part because she has not accepted me yet.

When she left the house this morning she said she was going to school. I was trying to get the rest of my hangover gone and went for a run to clear my head. That's when I came across them.

When I heard Bella crying then I could smell Emmett and rage filled my heart. She was supposed to be in school and I'm finding her out here at the border with him.

I waited by her truck for them. She parked on the three acres near the border that doesn't belong to us or the vampires. I was pacing wanting to cross the treaty line to get to her when I heard them coming.

Of course Emmett insisted that he had not done anything wrong but I wasn't buying that song and dance. Paul and I followed Edward last night. That pervert has been watching her. We were going there to make sure that she got home alright and so I could tell her the truth about everything. Paul is the one that talked me in to doing it.

When Emmett and Bella came out of the woods together I could no longer control my anger. Compiled by emotions of what had already happened with Bella and me, her crying and my enemy being so close to her my monster was going to win this battle with my man side. The only good thing I can say about him is that he did make sure that Bella was safe. When I saw she was out-of-the-way my wolf took over and I was no longer in control of myself.

No thoughts other than to rip the enemy apart and protect the one I love were coming into my mind. But Emmett wasn't really fighting me he just kept shoving me away and saying the same thing "I am not a threat to Bella and I keep telling you that. It wasn't my kind that tried to run over her with the car. It was yours Sam." When I could finally get the words to register with my wolf I stopped fighting him.

Phasing back and standing naked before him but I didn't care "Your lying. You're making this up because we caught your pervert brother watching Bella last night."

Emmett didn't come any closer to me but his demeanor changed back to trying to act like a human again "I'm not lying about that, ask Bella. She knows who it was and they were only seconds away from killing her if I hadn't stopped it. I don't know what you're talking about with Edward. If that happened I had nothing to do with it."

Looking over at Bella she didn't even seem like she was with us in this world right now. I'm sure after what she just witnessed it going to be harder than ever to make things right between us "Then who was driving the car?" I will make them pay if what he is telling me is the truth.

Emmett looked over at Bella then back to me "It was Leah. She was driving a little red car and she wanted Bella dead. After I pushed the car away Leah took off. Look I don't know what all is going on with you, Leah and Bella. I could really give two shits less about you and Leah. But I do care about Bella and I would never do anything to hurt her. That's why I didn't fight you because she cares about you. I found her crying in the wood over you. I'm only here for the meeting with the pack and Carlisle is on his way." Leah told me the dent in the car was because she had parked to close to car and someone hit it when she was in the grocery store. I should have known better.

Bella said she never saw the driver of the car because it all happened so fast. It explains a lot now why she was so upset with me yesterday over Leah. I'm kicking my own ass now I should have caught on when she said all that shit yesterday "When will you do that to me Sam? When will someone come a long that you think is better than me and leave me too?You did tell me some of it Sam but hell there was so much you could have told me too that you didn't. Like for starters I dumped Leah and that's why she hates your guts so much Bella." I hurt Leah and I didn't mean to or want to. This must be how she planned on hurting me back, using Bella. I'm surprised Bella has hung in there this long with me.

Emmett was talking but I was only listening to some of it "Are you hearing me Sam? Jacob called this meeting because he says he is the one in charge now. He is also telling my family that we have to leave town because it was my fault Bella got hurt. That is a bunch of bullshit when it was one of your own that did it. We're not going anywhere and if it's a fight you want then it's a fight you will get."

Feeling kind of like Bella probably does, everyone has a little secret of their own. I missed the Council meeting this morning and I didn't know that Jacob had done all of this "Look if what you say is true you don't have anything to worry about. I know that you saved Bella and I will tell the pack the truth but I want to talk to Leah first. I hurt her and I can't believe that she would do something like this. I know that Leah hates Bella but I never dreamed that Leah would hurt her."

Emmett motioned to Bella "Do you think we should try to get her down and get her out of here before the others show up?" I thought that was a good idea because the last thing she needed to see was more drama between the supernatural worlds.

We both held our hands out to her to help her down but she wouldn't take either one. She was staring at Emmett "What are you and don't lie to me? You knew about what Sam was the whole time didn't you? You're just as bad as the others and I thought you were my friend Emmett." It was going to be dangerous either way, if he tells her or doesn't. I wanted to grab her and run far away with her because now she is walking on both sides of our worlds.

Emmett put his hand down "I'm different Bella that's all I can tell you for your own good. But I want you to know that I would never bring any harm to you." I wonder how long he thinks she is going to accept that answer from him. Knowing Bella like I do, not long.

She was climbing off the hood by herself "I don't want anybody touching me. Everybody or whatever in the hell you are need to stay the fuck away from me."

When she was getting in the truck I grabbed the door before she could shut it "It was Leah that was driving the car wasn't it?"

Tears were coming down Bella's cheeks and I went to wipe them from her face but she pushed my hand away "Yes it was and it's because you dumped her for me." Then she slammed the door and to some degree I knew she was speaking the truth.

Emmett made an offer to me that he would let me handle what Leah had done if I would let him deal with Edward watching Bella "Sam can you please put some clothes on because you're really starting to freak me out a bit in a gay kind of way." I put my shorts on because to be honest I had forgotten about being naked with everything that had gone on. It is such a natural thing for the pack that we don't even really think about it.

We went to the border to meet them. Jacob had Embry, Jared and Quill with him "It's time for you vamps to be moving on. One of your coven members has hurt the one I love and I'm personally holding you responsible Carlisle. As far as I'm concern the treaty is null and void. You need to be gone within the next two days or else." What kind of shit is Jacob spitting out of his mouth? I know I did over react to Bella being with Emmett but hell; Jacob just called for a show down at sun down without thinking things through.

Carlisle kept his composure as he usually does "Jacob that is a false statement. My son, Emmett, did nothing to hurt Bella. He saved her life and I'm not sure what your reasoning is for wanting us to leave town. I normally have discussions with Sam so why isn't he here?"

Emmett went to their side and I stood on ours. Jacob saw me and puffed his chest out "All conversations will be held with me now. I'm the one making the decisions."

Thinking about anything but the conversation I had with Emmett to keep Edward out of my mind. I wasn't Edwards main focus, it was on Jacob "I can tell you Carlisle why Jacob wants us gone. He thinks by making us leave town and taking Sams position with all the authority that he can have Bella to himself. But that's not working out so well is it Jacob? Not only have you caused turmoil with your own people but Bella doesn't want anything to do with you."

Jacob was letting his anger guide him and not his intelligence. Edward was studying Jacob face "You forced yourself on her you piece of shit." I have never heard Edward use that kind of language before and then he went to lung for Jacob.

Carlisle was holding Edward back "No son not now. That is what Jacob wants is for us to react and violate the treaty." Jacob was standing their taunting Edward with his mind no doubt with the smile on his face. But Carlisle is right it would be the excuse that Jacob would need to present to the Council that they crossed the border for a fight.

It wasn't only Edward that wanted to get to Jacob. I saw Emmett mouth was twitching and I could hear him hissing. Jasper grabbed him "No Emmett don't cross over the line."

Watching this smaller vampire trying to hold him back was interesting. Emmett is almost twice the size of the other one but Emmett held it together "You have to leave this reservation sometime and I will kick your ass Jacob. If Sam doesn't handle it I will. No one has the right to force themselves on someone. Edward might be stupid enough to think that Bella would go out with him, a pervert and has a small penis syndrome but I would kick his ass too if he forced himself on her."

Edward stopped struggling against Carlisle "Hey I am not a pervert and my penis is not small."

Jasper and Emmett said it at the same time "Yes it is and shut up Edward."

Going in front of Carlisle to stop this from escalating any farther "Everyone needs to take a minute and clam down. I know that Emmett did not hurt Bella. I handled the situation with Jacob yesterday that is why I'm no longer alpha. I gave it up to Jacob and what happens with my own people is none of your business or concern. But I will not stand by and let us fight one another without a good reason. I'm going to talk to the Elders and I will call you Carlisle."

Jacob shoved me "You will not talk to the Elders direct anymore. Everything will go through me from now on. You gave up all of your rights Sam."

Paul and Seth got between us. I'm not even sure when they got here but I didn't need them to protect me "The Elders have the power to make the decisions Jacob not you. They need to know how their new leader is trying to bring an unnecessary war upon our pack. The Cullens did not cause Bella to get hurt." Knowing it was Leah was a secret I have not told the pack yet. Defending the vampires seemed like I was betraying my own people but I know it's the right thing to do. I will not allow my brothers to fight and maybe lose their life because Jacob is an idiot.

The vampires all disappeared and I was talking to the council one way or another.

Jacob and I are standing before the Elders waiting to see how they saw this ridiculous excuse that Jacob gave them for starting a war between the vampires and us.

Billy of course took Jacobs side but what the hell else is new about that. Sue would not remain silent "Jacob is not ready for the position and I will not give my consent for him to be the Alpha leader. I realize that it is eventually Jacob's density to be but it's not today. There is not a valid reason for us to void the existing treaty. Bella was not hurt because of the vampires. I know this because it was my daughter that did it. Leah is the one that tried to hurt Bella." I stood there with my mouth open not knowing what to say. Sue gave up Leah to make sure that Jacob did not become Alpha? Why would she do that? I hadn't even got to talk to Leah yet.

The Elders were shocked by the news that it was one of our own that had done this. But Jacob didn't seem shocked at all. Which makes me wonder if he knew about it already?

Leah will have to go before them and explain her actions. Then her fate would be decided. I stepped forward to address them "Leah is not to blame. I am prepared to receive the consequences that Leah will have to face. My choices have caused the altercation between Leah and Bella so I am to blame." When it comes down to it I love Leah in many ways still. She really isn't to blame she was the victim in this. I guess really both her and Bella are. I don't know what in the hell that makes me other than a terrible man and person.

The Elders said that they would have to discuss this before coming to a decision but they are very disappointed in my action of turning my position over to Jacob without even consulting them first. They are right I should have done that first.

But since I'm already on the shit list why stop there "I would also like to be told about the legend of the Pale-face Princess."

They all looked at each other except for Billy which gave me a harsh look "You will only be told what we think you need to know. That legend has nothing to do with you Sam."

Sue left the table first "Sam outside now." I know that tone in her voice all too well. Her daughter has the same one when she is pissed.

Sue was walking at a fast pace "I know you're thinking that I am a horrible mother right now. Leah came to me before this meeting and told me the truth. She did it for Seth because she knew if it meant war he would have to fight. He is nowhere near ready for that shit. Why in the fuck did you miss the meeting this morning? I told you that you had to be there. Do you really know what is going on here? Why they don't want you in control anymore?" To be honest I only thought it was Jacob that didn't want me in control anymore.

I felt like shit for missing the meeting "I was sleeping off my drunk and that's why I missed the meeting. I don't think you're a horrible mother Sue, I think it took a lot of courage doing what you did in there. Really I don't know what is going on but I wish like hell someone would tell me."

Jacob was coming and I stood in front of Sue because I could tell he was pissed off "Sue you will not say anymore. I forbid it."

Leah must get some of that strength she has from her mother because Sue pushed past me and was up in Jacob's face "You don't mean shit to me so don't make idle threats Jacob. If you ever talk like that to me again you little fuck and I'll personally make sure that you are never any more than a pack member. Your daddy can only do so much just remember it takes a unanimous vote where your fate is concerned. So you better stand down boy because I'm not Sam and you will not bully me." Yeah she is just like her daughter.

EMMETTS POV

After the meeting I went for a hunt with Jasper and explained what had happened when I met Sam in the woods. I just left out the part about Bella seeing me as a vampire. Out of all of my family Jasper would be the one that I would confide in but I'm not even sure how he would handle that news. All I can hope is that Bella will let it go because knowing our secret wouldn't be good for her.

Jasper was thinking with me about Edward and how we should handle the situation "Edward stalking Bella is not going to end well. I'm not sure no matter what we do to him that we can get him to stop. It's almost like he is obsessed with her and the more she pushes him away the more determined he is to make her his." Jasper is right about that. But what evil things can we do to him to make him quit Bella cold turkey?

Then the light bulb went off "We'll go old school on his ass."

After Jasper listen to my plan "Oh shit were going to be homeless once we do this because Carlisle will disown us."

Running back to the house "Yeah your right about that brother but after were done with Eddie boy he will never peep at Bella again." Jasper and I laughed all the way home.

When we hit the front porch we touched fist "Revenge twins activate."
