Bella:
I turned to Jared and gaped at him in complete and utter shock. His face looked guilty. When the hell would he have chance to tell my dad?! Then it clicked! That's where he and Sam where this afternoon. I quickly stood and addressed the room but I directed my questions towards Jared.
"WHAT THE FUCK?!" I yelled at him "Who told you that you could tell my dad?! I'm not fucking five!"
Jared's gaze flickered to Sam and I instantly rounded on him. He was looking at me with apprehensive eyes. It was clear that he felt it was necessary to do so but I was practically vibrating with anger. The pain in my bruised body flared as my body prepared to phase. Paul quickly grabbed me from behind and began to soothe me, running his hands through my hair and whispering comforting words to me. The shaking subsided almost immediately as he held me to his strong chest. He took his place back on the sofa but as I tried to move away he caught me and pulled me in to his lap and locked his arms around me.
Jared moved closer and I turned my death glare on him. His eyes flooded with his love and devotion and he moved to tentatively touch my hand.
"Bella, he had to know. You turn in to a wolf sweetheart. Plus he would ask questions on Sam and Billy's insistence to move you here"
I will admit I was beginning to think I'd acted a bit too rash until he said about moving to La Push.
"Excuse me?" my voice deathly quiet, sounding menacing even to myself.
Paul:
I couldn't help but feel sorry for Jared as he slipped up and told her about moving to La Push. I'd have definitely got Billy to tell her, it may be the cowards way out but she's fucking terrifying for such a tiny little thing.
Sam chose this moment to cut in and save poor Jared from our own little Princess who was currently pouting and death glaring the room.
"Bella honey it is for your own benefit as well as Charlie's safety" he tried to placate.
"Can't I just have a cooling off period and go home Sam? I'm all Charlie's got" she begged, her eyes filling with tears which caused me to pull her closer.
"Well actually, your dad is planning to move to La Push too with his girlfriend"
She looked shocked by the revelation as she knew they were dating but not this serious.
"I didn't realize it was that serious" she whispered brokenly "He doesn't need me anymore"
The tear slipped and I couldn't stand it any longer, I tucked her further in to my body and gently stroked away her tears before soothing her with words.
"Bella honey, he'll always need you, you're his baby girl. Just remember your old man was on his own for years before you came down. He'll be fine with Sue but if you want me to I'll drag him over here by the scruff of the neck to eat meals with us"
I managed to get a giggle from this and the tears ceased so I pushed on gently.
"We still need you baby, me and Jay especially. We'd go nuts without you in La Push. Hell we go nuts with you in the other bloody room! Just remember princess, you're the Alpha female now, mommy wolf or in your case I think you're adorable baby sister wolf. You're important to this pack now babe whether you like it or not."
She looked up at me and smiled before shocking me completely and placing a chaste kiss to my lips. She pulled Jared closer in to her and then turned her attention to Sam.
"So where will I stay Sam?" she asked him with those huge brown eyes that were still glistening and a cute little pout. She looked absolutely fucking irresistible.
"You'll stay with us Bella. Me and Em discussed it before we left this afternoon. She feels maternal towards you and I must admit my bond with you is turning out to be a fatherly protective role"
"Aww Sam that's cute, you can be daddy wolf, Em can be mommy wolf and Bells can be baby wolf" Embry chuckled. which received a growl from both Sam and Bella.
She then turned to me and Jay "Where do you guys live?"
"We live like three blocks over from Billy" Jared smiled.
"You guys live together?" she questioned with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah I didn't like living on my own when my dad bailed and Jared's mom didn't want him living in the house with his little brother when he told her about the whole wolf thing so he moved in with me. We're rebuilding a house round the corner now though" I answered her with a smile.
"Oh well at least you guys stuck together" she smiled weakly before squeezing both my own and Jared's hands.
"I guess I should ask how my dad took it" she said quietly to Jared.
"He obviously didn't believe us in the beginning but he stopped telling us we were joking when I phased for him. The imprint was the hardest thing for him to take. It's a good thing he trusts me but Paul's probably gonna get it"
"Why does he trust you?" she asked.
"Well I've been shadowing him for a few months, I'm training to join the force so he already knew and trusted me"
"Why wouldn't he trust Paul?"
"Well because he doesn't know him as well as he knows me and you're his precious baby girl that he's handing over to two overgrown wolves. Plus Paul's been known to be in trouble with the law occasionally"
I inwardly groaned as she then turned her gaze to me expecting to hear why her dad had arrested me and good God this was gonna be a fun conversation.
"It was nothing baby honest, a few counts of assault, underage drinking and indecent exposure. I'll tell you more later" I replied pecking her forehead
"Well if that's in then I made you guys some din-" that was all she managed to get out before four starving wolves and Emily ran to the kitchen like they hadn't eaten in months.
Jared helped Bella up and took her to the kitchen with me following closely behind. She served up the most delicious mac n cheese I have ever had before following up with the chocolate cake I'd been eying before while she was baking it. All that could be heard was remarks about the cooking and content chatter.
For now, this was our Furry Family and my imprint seemed to be the center of it from everyone's point of view.
