Jarred ended up receiving a phone call from his Alpha saying they won't be returning to the bonfire and telling Jarred to make up some excuse before hanging up. He smirked, knowing his Alpha was enjoying his mate.

It was about time to he thought. He'd felt guilty for being the first out of the three of them to imprint knowing Sam had been alone the longest out of all three of them. Jarred called Paul over who was smirking with mischief twinkling in his eyes.

"Is he where I think he is?" Paul asked quietly as they stood a little distance away from the crowd around the bonfire.

"Yes. And don't be a prick Paul. You wait until you get yourself a woman. Sam's instincts are stronger than are own due to him being the alpha male." Jared warned.

"So behave around Bella, unless you want to lose a limb. I'm surprised they'd lasted this long. I could smell her still a virgin when they came back from the store." He confessed. Paul raised an eyebrow.

"She was pure?" He said surprised.

"Yes. Lucky fucker, which is more than I can say for Kim." He said bitterly, his wolf still hated that fact.

"What are we going to tell the Chief and Billy?" Paul asked watching his friend turn a little pale. "Oh, hey Charlie, just to let you know your Daughter won't be returning because she's mated with our alpha." He added sarcastically.

"Nothing of the sort!" Came a voice from behind, both giants turning around so fast they almost lost balance at the sudden intrusion. They met the stern gazes of Billy Black and Harry Clearwater.

"Nothing?" They repeated, gazing at their elders as if they'd grown three heads.

"Exactly, nothing." Harry repeated, sternly.

"Leave Charlie to me. I was hoping this would happen, with one of you." Billy said glancing at Paul who took a step back under the intense gaze of his elder.

"Well; I'm glad it was Sam and not me. I'm happy with my life the way it is with out a woman complicating it." Paul retorted.

"You'll get your time boy." Harry warned him.

"Hopefully never." Paul fired back. "I'm happy spreading my wings."

"Too much information." Billy grumbled. Paul's grin widened.

"Oh, I see. So you're alright discussing Sam and Bella, but not when someone else mentions it?" He challenged. Billy glared at him.

"Not like that you idiot. Why you ever became a wolf, I will never know. That tongue of yours needs to be tamed and a woman would be the best course of punishment for you and your wicked ways. Don't think we don't know Paul Newman! Paul lost the grin and scowled!

"So what now?" Jarred asked breaking the awkward silence.

"I'll give Charlie a cover story and then I'll contact Sam with the same story. What a lot of you don't know is Charlie has been looking at properties on the res! Thanks to me and Harry hopefully he will hardly have any contact with the Cullen's. Billy paused.

"He's been looking at properties for years. He almost had a house, but then the Cullen's moved into town and complicated things, that's why me and Charlie fell out. He couldn't understand my dislike for them, and I couldn't exactly tell him why... I have a feeling Charlie is hiding something from us." Billy confessed.

Jarred, Paul and Harry's eyebrows knitted together as they all stood there, around Billy with their hands in their pockets whilst Billy frowned with his hands entwined together in his lap.

It had been a mystery to Billy... Why had Charlie suddenly changed his attitude a few weeks after the Cullen's moved in to town? The two week's prior Sam was the first wolf to change, as soon as the Cullen's moved in to town.

It was confusing, frustrating and he just couldn't figure it out. Charlie had put down the deposit and everything.

The five stood in the shadows of the trees, unaware of watching eyes, completely lost within their thoughts, they had not seen a figure approaching their group.


Uh oh! Who do you think it is? Jake, Charlie or Leah? I'm interested in hearing your theories.
