"She's pack now. You can go all Alpha on her to keep her away from the leeches."

I woke up to Paul and Sam talking. My head was in Paul's lap and from the movement, I guessed we were in the backseat of my car. I could feel a blanket wrapped around my body and I was grateful for it.

"And if she decides to break off to join Jake, I lose a sister and you lose your imprint."

I blinked my eyes open and tried to focus on the man holding me.

"What the fuck happened? Why did I black out?"

"Mikayla," Paul said, leaning down to kiss me.

Looking into his dark eyes, I knew what hit him that night he imprinted. It felt great, like top of the world great. I felt whole and complete for the first time since the abuse began. I leaned up and kissed him hard.

"Now you're my imprint too."

I shifted to pull the blanket tighter around me as I tried to sit up. My head was fuzzy and I became dizzy for a second before it cleared. Glancing out the window, I saw the entrance to the rez and waited for the car to come to a stop at Sam's house.

"There's a pack meeting before I see the Elders. You can borrow something of Emily's."

She was inside with a sundress that I could wear before she left with Kim. Imprints weren't allowed at pack meetings but since I was a wolf now, I stayed.

"We have no idea the danger that that thing will do once born. I want a constant patrol around the Cullens' home. They have broken the treaty and will be dealt with, just like the thing will be after it's born."

"Well, I object."

"I know you do, Mikayla. You need to realize the bloodsuckers are our enemies and we must protect the town and our tribe from them."

"I understand that but they only hunt animals and we have no idea if the baby will be like Edward or Bella, who is human by the way in case you forgot. It will kill Bella if you go after her baby."

"Better one person than the entire town," Leah said.

"What made you phase?" Seth asked, trying to change the subject.

I could try to hide the truth but it would come out eventually when I phased into a wolf.

"The man who abused me was granted parole and would like to see me. Paired up with everything else, it was enough to push me over the edge."

"There's no way that asshole is seeing you," Paul seethed.

I knew that this would push our relationship back. After that night Paul and I spent together in bed, I had the occasional flashback and nightmare. Knowing that he was getting out would probably cause me to have more of them.

"I had no plans on seeing him anyways. The prosecutor thought to give me a heads up but he doesn't know where I am, so there's no way he can track me down. Especially since I don't go by Jackson anymore.

"But back to the real topic. Bella's my friend and I will still see her. I am a wolf and I know vampires are our enemies but she's not one and I believe her baby won't be either."

"You will not see her," Sam ordered.

Something within me shook and I now knew what an Alpha command was. I glared at my brother, flipped him off, and left. Rather than finding my keys, I walked back to my place. I changed out of the sundress and into a pair of cargo pants and a T-shirt. I found what I needed and stuffed it into a pocket. The last thing I did was pull on my hiking boots.

As I hiked to the Cullen's house, I silently ranted at my brother for commanding me. I heard the low howl and picked up the pace. It didn't take me long especially when I ran into Jasper and Alice hunting.

"I'd like to stay with Bella until the baby is born. The pack's probably on their way to set up a patrol around your house so if you need to, hunt now. I doubt they'll let you out later."

"We just finished and heading back. Jasper could carry you," Alice offered.

The vampire picked me up in a piggy back and tore through the forest while Alice ran beside us. To be going that fast was thrilling but amazed that Jasper was willing to have a wolf on his back. As we stopped outside of the house, Edward came out on to the patio and stared at his sister.

"Rosalie and Emmett, you need to hunt now."

I climbed off Jasper's back, thanking him, and headed up to the door. Climbing the stairs, I dug what I had in my pocket and slipped it on when I got to the top of the stairs.

"Mikayla, what are you doing?" Bella called.

"I've been ordered not to see you. I can't see you with my eyes covered. I hope it's not a problem but I'll be staying until the baby is born."

"You shouldn't go against what your Alpha tells you," Jacob tried.

"I never asked to be a wolf and he knows my stance on the baby. Besides, I just found a loophole that I can exploit. As long as the eye mask stays on and I don't look at Bella, I'm not breaking the command."

Over the next few hours, Jacob, Bella, Edward, and I chatted and got to know each other. They all wanted to know what made me phase so I gave them the whole horrid story. I hadn't taken my cell phone with me so hopefully Mark would realize that I didn't want to see my abuser.

"I made sandwiches for you all," Esme said, coming into the room.

Feeling around for the plate, I snagged one up and took a bite.

"Delicious, Esme. Thank you."

I ended up having 2 sandwiches while Jacob polished off the rest. When it came to sleeping arrangements that night, Jacob ended up on the couch and I slept with Bella to keep her warm. My new bodily temperature was a degree or two less than Jacob's but Edward wouldn't have it any other way.

There were times over the next few days that I sat around the living room in total silence. Sam tried to occasionally yell out a command to me so I resorted to wearing ear plugs whenever he was in human form. Both Seth and Leah had joined us in protecting Bella after leaving Sam's pack to join Jacob's. I had a fleeting thought about doing that but then I remembered what I would be giving up.

The pressure around my heart kept getting worse over the days as well. Paul and I had never been apart this long before and I knew it was the imprint that was hurting. I knew the vampires heard me the few times the pain got to be too much that I cried myself to sleep. Esme always cooked me chocolate chip pancakes the morning after.

"Carlisle and Esme need to hunt. They can't wait another day but how do they get around the pack?" Edward said.

"I have an idea," Jacob said.

It sounded like he left the house with Seth and Leah. I stayed near Bella and rubbed soothing circles into her belly. Her and Edward had figured out the day before that the baby could communicate with Edward telepathically. The bruising hits to Bella's stomach calmed down but it was also nice to feel the baby move under my head.

"Have you and Paul talked about having kids?"

"No. The imprint is just so new and being a wolf complicates things. Until Leah phased, female wolves had never happened and the Elders have no clue. Paul told me that as long as he phased, he wouldn't age and now that I'm a wolf, if I do the same, we could live really long lives. In order to have kids though, I wouldn't be able to phase and I would age while Paul stayed the same age."

"You've given it a lot of thought."

"Being around you and having the silent time has had my mind running over a lot of things. Like if Paul is going to forgive me after this is all over."

"Carlisle and Esme just left with Emmett. They should be back in a few hours," Edward piped up.

"What did Jacob have to do?"

"He distracted Sam by trying to give back Seth and Leah."

I could hear Sam yelling outside so I quickly put in my ear plugs and zoned out. Awhile later, I felt the couch beside me shift so I removed the ear plugs to hear Bella ask for a hand up. I stood and reached down for her arm. I heard Rosalie on her other side helping her as well.

Snap! Crack!

Bella screamed as she twisted in my arms. Edward was quick in catching her as she fell. I couldn't stay in the dark any longer so I pulled off the eye mask and stared down at my friend. A sudden jolt of pain hit my heart but I bore through it. Edward carried her off to Carlisle's office and placed her on the bed.

"She's bleeding. Call Carlisle. Get him back here now," Edward said.

Alice was quick on the phone trying to reach their father. I hurried to Bella's side and grabbed her hand. The pain spiked again as I looked at her but I chose to ignore it.

"Carlisle said the placenta probably detached. They're on their way but the baby needs to come out now," Alice said.

I helped to remove her leggings and the scent of blood filled the air. I sent a quick glance at the others in the room before yelling at them to get out. We didn't need a hungry vampire in the room full of blood. I picked up the scalpel and handed it to Edward. I knew that he had the medical training to do a C-section.

"You need to do it now," I said as Bella continued to scream and writhe on the bed.

The scalpel wouldn't dent her skin. Jacob and I shared a look as to what do we do now before Edward threw down the knife and bent over Bella's stomach. His fangs quickly sliced through the skin. I checked on Bella, a sharper stabbing pain hitting me and noticed she was going pale.

"Hang in there, Bella. He's almost here," I encouraged.

I grabbed a towel and awaited the baby.

"It's a girl."

She let out a small wail before I handed Edward the towel. He wrapped the baby and showed Renesmee to Bella. My friend gave a small smile before she went still. Jacob was freaking out, shaking Bella's shoulders while Edward stood there holding the baby.

"Give her to me and see to Bella. Do it now, Edward."

He handed her over and I tucked her into my arms. I left the room to look after Renesmee with Rosalie's help. We washed her up and dressed her in a onesie before Rosalie took her and settled near the fire. The vampire had been beside Bella throughout the short pregnancy and I would have plenty of time to hold her later. The pain in my chest was easing off but I had no idea what caused it in the first place.

"Does she have fangs?" I joked.

"No. I think she takes after Bella more than Edward. She sure is cuter than my brother."

I laughed before noticing Jacob in the doorway. His shirt was covered in Bella's blood and his eyes were sad.

"Oh God, no," I whispered as he walked into the room.

He walked closer to Rosalie and Renesmee. It took me a second to see the anger flash in his eyes and I was up in a second to interfere if needed. Rosalie, unaware of the sad but angry wolf behind her, bounced the baby slightly before holding her up against her chest. Jacob finally got a good look at Renesmee and fell to his knees.

The anger in his eyes disappeared as he stared at the baby. I really needed to see Bella at that moment so I headed upstairs. Edward was standing by the bed staring down at her lifeless body. The pain came back almost tenfold.

"Did it work?" I asked, hopefully.

"No sign that it has. Carlisle wasn't sure if the venom could repair the damage but time will tell. A vampire usually goes through several days of the venom burning away inside."

"You should go clean up and see your daughter. I'll start cleaning her up. She shouldn't stay like this."

Edward's head whipped up and he screamed for Alice and Jasper. As he left, he told me the wolves knew and were coming for Renesmee. I left Bella's side and ran down the stairs behind him. Rosalie was still in the living room with the baby so I went to her side.

"They could use you out there. I'm still too new as a wolf to help and they'll be outnumbered."

The vampire kissed the baby on the forehead while handing her over.

"If anything happens to her, I will kill you," she threatened.
