Chapter 9

Edward's Point of View (Yay! From popular vote, I chose to do Chapter 9 in Edward's POV! Sorry for those who chose for no Edward's POV SORRY! Majority Rules.)

If you told me two months ago that I would be rebelling against [some] of my family again, I would probably think you were joking. One revolt was definitely enough for one person, no matter how long they live. If you had added the fact that I would rebel against my family for love, I would probably get angry for getting my hopes up for the few seconds I believed you. Never in all my life would I have guessed that I, Edward Anthony Mason Cullen, mind reader, was in love with a werewolf, our enemies.

Just the idea of it was dumbfounding. The fact that it was possible was astonishing. Of course, it was I, who had already given up on love, which had to fall into the most unique romance of the century. I never would repent the fact that I had fallen love with the most beautiful creature on earth, but even so, I knew that with great rewards come great difficulties, and I knew for a fact that my family wouldn't be so accepting as I hoped.

I had never even thought that female werewolves existed, since I had never met or heard of one, but low and behold, I was wrong. It wasn't very often that I would willingly admit that I was wrong, but even I had to admit that these past days were days I wasn't expecting. Had I expected to fall in love? No. Did I expect to be running with a werewolf? No. Did I ever dream of being in the forest, awaiting our doom? No.

The answer was always no. So no, I had not expected any of the events of the past days, not had a regretted them.

Standing in the forest, with Bella, my love, I knew something was coming. Even so, I savored the few minutes of time we had left. But then, the atmosphere changed drastically. The wolf pack, being slightly faster than vampires, had arrived and I was unsurprised that Bella had left my side and went behind a tree, probably phasing. Soon enough, Bella returned. This time in the form of a beautiful, and graceful white wolf. I noticed that like I, she seemed to be the odd one out, the oddball, seeing that she was the only female and the only wolf that was not living at La Push.

I cringed at the scent of wolf. Luckily, Bella's scent was one I found appealing, but not in the blood way, rather than the disgusting scent of dog. Then, from the distance, I heard more voices that were in fact thoughts, about three miles away. They were familiar, and all from the Cullen Coven. Unfortunately, most of them were not positive. The very few thoughts that were happy for me, all came from Esme, who seemed to accept anyone that I loved, vampire or not. The only other good part of their thoughts was that Carlisle, Alice and Emmett all looked ready to act civilly, even if they didn't particularly like Bella.

Personally, I thought their prejudice against the wolves was fruitless, but of course, my opinion didn't matter at the time.

They came in the middle of my thought, angry and aggressively, in defensive stances that anyone, even a human would recognize as hostile. I heard the jumble of thoughts from the wolves, but my main focus was on my family, who were now on my nerves. Especially Rosalie.

"Rosalie." I spat, knowing that her violent thoughts were pointed to Bella.

"Edward." She said in an equally menacing tone.

We circled each other each, egging each other to attack first, hoping it would be the other one to break concentration, and lunge first.

"It really isn't necessary-" Esme started, but she was interrupted by my growl.

"Of course it is! She hates Bella!" I said lowly. It was very clear now that my feelings for Bella were secured, and even Jasper had to admit that they were powerful.

"So? You can't be joking. You can't be in love with a werewolf! They are disgusting and smelly!" She said hotly.

"Bella isn't like the other werewolves!" As if what I said was on cue, Bella leapt, as graceful as imagined, onto a black wolf's back, who I assumed to be the alpha. I picked through the other's thoughts, until I found a name for the wolf. Sam.

I immediately felt an urge to protect her, but it was Alice, who had warned me.

Edward don't do it. I know I can't see the exact outcome, but this is a bad idea. She had thought.

I felt immensely guilty, as it was my fault that she was fighting for us, and I couldn't help her. It wasn't long before loyalty outnumbered what was right, and the rest of the wolves were circled around Bella. My breathing hitched, and I was even more alarmed. Certainly they wouldn't hurt her? As if my silent prayers were answered, Bella dodged her way into the undergrowth. I was about to go after her again when I was Rosalie who interrupted again.

"You are really going to go chasing a werewolf?" She asked with venom in her voice. I glared at her with as much hatred as I could manage. It seemed to make an impact, since she visibly flinched.

"Yes." I said stiffly.

"She's far too dangerous, not to mention she's a wolf!-" That was all I heard because I had ran away, as fast as possible to reach Bella.

I saw Bella from great lengths away, due to both my vampire eyesight and her abstract white fur. I approached her quietly, so not to alarm her careful stance. I said nothing, but I knew she felt my presence. It was a comfortable silence, not awkward in any way, and relaxing after all the chaos.

Then I heard thoughts. And those included Bella's. I was used to her thoughts by now, and though they were cloudy, they were still a relief. It was complicated how I received her thoughts because I could not hear her thoughts directly for some, unknown, unfortunate reason. In fact, I couldn't hear her thoughts unless she was in wolf form, along with another wolf, who was close by. I read her thoughts through another wolf's mind, so if it is twisted just a little, it is skewed, and confusing.

Since I could hear the disordered thoughts of Bella, I knew that there was another wolf nearby, and one that was most likely hostile. Soon enough, a reddish wolf appeared, not looking aggressive in any way. Neither his thoughts or actions were recognizable of having misguided intentions, but even so, I shielded and protected Bella as best as I could. Bella of course being Bella, nudged me out of the way, right in front of the wolf's line of vision.

Jacob. I automatically felt jealousy to the name. Bella so obviously trusted this male and even though I knew that it was I she imprinted on, I was still envious of the wolf who knew her so much better than I did.

Why are you here? Bella thought to Jacob.

Sam's being a jerk. So I followed you. I wonder why we can't hear anyone else.

"I think you aren't part of their pack anymore." I said, knowing greatly how the pack's mind works after thinking about it for a while.

Is that even possible? Bella thought.

Maybe the leech is right. Both Bella and I growled, annoyed. Sorry, Sorry. He replied, not sounding apologetic in any way. It was obvious that Bella knew by his tone that he was not honest with his apology with what she thought next.

Jacob, I know you hate him, why are you even here?

You were right. It isn't your fault that you got stuck with him as an imprint. Again, the dog got on my nerves. And I snarled almost at the same time as Bella.

I didn't "get stuck with him" I was lucky enough to imprint on him. As Bella said that, I couldn't have been more happy, it was as if I was engulfed with bliss.

But Sam said that wolves imprint to repopulate and I'm pretty sure that vampires can't reproduce. I almost was angry. Almost. But I was not. Because he was right. I could never give Bella what others could. I couldn't give her a child.

Sam isn't always right. Bella returned, closing the conversation.

XxX

Returning home was both uncomfortable and silent, since no one had anything to say. Rosalie stuck her nose up in the air, refusing to apologize for practically calling Bella a mistake. Jasper, who had said nothing before, was siding with Rosalie, because even though he was not there for the first wolf meeting, he heard the stories, and was worried for Alice. Emmett seemed to side with Rosalie, mainly because of where his loyalty to her. His thoughts however, really didn't care either way. It was Alice's informal vote that surprised me the most. She had said no through her thoughts, because Bella wasn't in her visions, but when Rosalie asked her what she thought, she had said she was Switzerland. Carlisle had agreed with Alice, by saying very little on the matter. It was only Esme who had stayed loyally on my side, saying that it was my time to fall in love.

And it was.
