This chapter sheds light on the Wolves and their amicable relations with the Cullens and to show full wolf support of the union between Edward and Bella.
Chapter 8 The Treaty
When they arrived home they decided that it would be best to head straight for the Cullen home. Bella's dad was not expecting her until later. On the way home they called Sam and Jake and asked them to meet them at the house.
"So, you guys are wolves" Bella stated when she spotted Sam and Jacob in the Cullen's living room.
"Bells, what are you doing here?" Jacob noticed that Bella looked real close with Edward. He had nothing against the Cullens. They were nice people who were living with supernatural circumstances, like him and his 'brothers'. He actually thought it was commendable that they refrained themselves when it came to killing humans.
"Actually, Jacob, Sam the answer to that question is only part of the reason you are here now. I know that you already know Bella but I need to introduce her to you as a new member of our family. Bella is Edward's mate." Carlisle, as the head of the family spoke on Bella's behalf.
Jake was shocked that Bella turned out to be the mate of a vampire but he was not surprised by this. Ever since Leah phased and he imprinted on her, (imprints were to wolves what soul mates were to vampires), he was not shaken by anything that happened in the supernatural. One day, he was a normal teenager and the next thing he knew, he was a wolf, a Beta and had a soul mate. It was a lot to take in but it was also very good. He loved Leah with all that he had and he noticed the sappy look that Edward had on his face. It was like looking in the mirror. Besides, he was happy to share this with one of his best friends. It had been hard over the last two summers, for him and some of the other guys, to keep their wolf status from Bella.
"Thank you, Jacob," Edward felt gratitude toward Jacob for his thoughts. Another stipulation of the treaty was that the Cullens had freely given information concerning their special gifts so Jake knew that Edward had caught the tenor of his thoughts.
"Sure, man. Just treat her right and we will be fine", Sam agreed with Jake's statement and he also knew that Bella would have to be changed. Another disclosure of the treaty, the Cullen's shared, was that if a vampire was to find their mate in a human, and the human was willing, they would change them. Since all of the Cullens were mated, this only applied to Edward and though the wolves felt this would not happen in their lifetime since vampires lived forever, they had no intention of trying to keep Bella and Edward from being happy. Like Jacob, Sam had also found his other half with Emily. In fact, out of ten wolves six of them were imprinted so they would all know how Edward and Bella felt.
"As Alpha of the Quileute Wolf pack, I hereby accept Bella Swan as a new member of the Cullen Family. All conditions of the treaty will now apply to her as well." Sam declared. The declaration was seconded by Jacob and made a part of the treaty between the two groups.
