Apov
I gasp a breath with a start, sitting up in shock as I shake of the odd feeling of stagnant darkness. I look around the room quickly, the last thing I remembered was Bella carrying me after taking a fang out of my back. My hand goes to the back of my neck but I feel nothing but the smooth surface of my hard skin. I sigh and look around the room again and notice Bella asleep in a chair with a book in her hands.
She actually read that book, I chuckle silently. The book was about some girl that feel in love with a vampire, she doesn't really see her self as beautiful and is really shy. The boy vampire is really protective and manipulative and a bit controlling. I don't know why that story easily became one of my favorites to read.
It was a simple story about a love that as much as its difficult… it was worth it. I also liked the connection and the bond between the human girl and the boys sister. It was interesting, they never spoke about how much they cared for one another but it was always there in the small details.
I sighed and silently got out of bed and grabbed my clothes from my closet, I took a quick shower to get the mud off me let alone the dog drool and got dressed. As I walk out I see that Bella is looking out the window, she looks at me when I clear my throat and offers me a breathtaking smile. There is tension in her posture tho, a stiffness that is notisable in the way her jaw is clenched and her eyes are hard besides the fact that there is a tilting her lips.
Has her smile always been so white? So, completely and utterly adorable. I give her a smile of my own and she stands up and walks over to me slowly. "How are you feeling Alice?" she asks and pushes my jaw length hair off my neck to look at my neck carefully. There is a tenderness to her touch, it is something that ive never experienced since my skin is diamond hard. Yet, Bella's touch is as if I was made of glass.
"I'm fine Bella." I say trying to control the urge to shudder at the feeling of her warm fingers coming in contact with my cold skin. God, I had it bad.
She cups my neck and looks in to my eyes "I'm just glad you are ok." She sighs closing her eyes, her expression looking tortured. "I told you to run Alice, I made it clear to run back here. You could have been killed." She says as her eyes look in to mine, a mixture of frustration and worry evident.
I cup her face without thinking and she blinks her eyes slowly as I look up at her "Bella, I'm fine. You saved my life, if it weren't for you I would be wolf chow." I say with a bit of humor.
It doesn't work because now Bella is growling as she glares slightly, the tightness of her face evident as she scowls at me. "I told you to run. As hard as it is to picture Alice, I am the most dangerous thing out there. You're lucky I found you when I did, if I was a second to late we wouldn't be talking at this moment." Bella huffs running a hand threw her short hair.
"I… I dont know why I didn't run. I just, I got thrown for a loop." I lie, running a hand threw my wet hair. I know exactly why I didnt run, I wanted to make sure you were ok.
Bella looks at me and shakes her head "You know what's the scary part of all of this?" Bella asks looking at me, her frown growing and I frownat the sight.
"What?" I ask tilting my head to the side.
"I lost full control for a second, if you're scent had been up wind…." She shakes her head. "I.." she trails off shaking her head as she takes a step back to take a deep breath.
I give her a week smile "I guess I learned my lesson?" I ask her with a smile and she chuckles as her dark eyes look at me.
"That's all I can hope for." She states running a hand through her hair.
She smiles as she takes a step closer, after a second or two of hesitation she speaks quickly, quietly. "I'm just relieved you're ok, I thought my heart had stopped when I saw you there, hurt, disheveled... I thought I was to late..." She says, eyes downcast. I cant resist, I take two steps and hug her. She looks like someone kicker her puppy! She slowly relaxes and hugs me closer to her warm body and I rest my forehead on her shoulder enjoying and rejoicing in her warmth.
"You weren't and I am very grateful." I say quietly but I know she heard me because her tender hug gets a fraction tighter, if only for a few seconds. Just as soon as the hug started, it was time to pull away before it became awkward.
She offers me a smile and sticks her thumb over her shoulder, "Why don't we go to Carlisle's office? I think he has some animal blood you can drink, you're eyes are black." Bella states and I nod,having already felt the burning in my throat as soon as I... woke up?
Bella had dulled it some but still, I was thirsty like mad. We both walk at human pace to Carlisle's office and as I go to knock, the door opens. "Girls, please. Come in." dad says smiling.
I smile at him and walk in and he closes the door behind us "Alice, glad to see you are feeling better." Carlisle says smiling. He and Bella share a look and Bella is stiff once again, serious look covers her features. I chose to ignore it, if only so that I can get some blood soon.
I nod, acting as if I noticed nothing. "Much better." I state standing on my tip toes to smile.
He raises an eyebrow before chuckling at me, "Ah, you must be thirsty. Normally it would be ok to hunt but we are expecting... guests in a few minutes and it wouldn't be save. Here you go Alice, there's more after you finish that." Carlisle says as he grabs a cup from the microwave and hands it to me, the smell of human and animal blood hit my nostrils and quickly I gulp down the large cup. I look at him questioningly, not breathing so that I can ignore the inferno in my throat. "Its donated human blood, its the only thing that helps your the lycan bacteria. Don't worry its just a few drops, you wont taste it and change your eye color." He says.
That's all I need to hear as I begging to gulp down the cup, a moan escaping me as I feed. It's warm and its mountain lion, the taste is exquisite and Carlisle is right, I cant taste their human blood. After I finish my second cup I can say I gained control again, I was full and felt stronger already.
Bella looks out the window and Carlisle sighs "Alice, why don't you take a seat. We need to tell you some things thst have presented themselves while you recovered." He says. Bella's head snaps to him and he offers her a small smile and she relaxes her grip on the window frame but stays looking out the window.
"I imagine you are wondering why you were unconscious?" Carlisle asks taking a seat behind his desk, he was so used to being a doctor that he kept the mannerisms even now. He sighs, fidgets, shifts, scratches at his head and smiles.
I fight the urge to tease him and nod "Yeah, I'm really confused." I state.
He offers me a smile and shifts closer, leaning on the desk. "Well, I was worried at first but Bella told me that you being unconscious is a side effect of a wolf bite. There saliva has a bacteria that will slow down the venom in our system, witch cause us to more or less lose consciousness. Our venom and the bacteria try to destroy each other but the one with most abundance wins. Thankfully there are no lasting side effects." He sighs and shifts in to his chair a bit. But I would like to keep an eye on you for a while, just to be safe." He says looking at me.
Bella smiles at me before her face going serious as she looks out the window growling, I frown. Carlisle sighs as he looks at his watch before looking at Bella and them sharing a look. She nods, I frown. Something is going on here and I am going to find out.
"What's going on?" I ask, Carlisle walks around his desk and rests his hip against it as he looks down at me.
"Remember that Bella's sister was found?" he asks. I nod "The wolf that attacked me, right?" I ask and he nods. "Yes, so the pack she is a part of where looking for her and are on there way here." He says.
I cant fight off the shudder that runs threw me "How many are in the pack?" I ask.
Bella sighs "Four that I know of because of Ness. Two of them are from my old pack." She explains, her eyes falling on me for a few seconds before she looks back out at the yard.
I frown "New alpha? I thought you were the alpha." I ask, furrowing my brow in confusion.
She smirks at me, her voice timbering on low growls, "I am. That's my pack, no outsider is taking my place." Bella says still looking out the window.
"When will they be here?" I mumble, Bella smirks before looking out the window.
"There already here." She says and jumps out the window.
Me and Carlisle share a look, I lower my voice to a whisper "Carlisle what are we going to do? I've seen what one of those wolves can do first hand. We cant fight a pack Dad." I saw worry in my tone.
Carlisle sighs "I discussed this with Bella, shes going to talk to the alpha and possible make him submit. We haven't to worry." He says calmly before we run down to the back yard. Bella and her sister are standing there, there backs to us.
"Cullen's, please if you value you're lives stay behind me and Ness. Not everyone of my kind is as nice as I am, Edward you can blame the Volturi for that.." Bella says smiling. I chuckle as I step to be next to Emmett and Rose. I notice that her claws had grown out along with her fangs. Edward crosses his arms, pouting practically and I punch his shoulder playfully. He frowns and looks back towards the river, as do I.
I get the tingling sensation of my visions and go in to it.
~My family tenses and Bella looks towards the river, eyes shining silver.
*It blurs*
"Reneesme, protect the Cullen's."
*It fades*
Bella's shoulders set tightly just as we hear growling our future goes black.
*Its dark and it sounds far away*
"She's killing him!"~
I shake my head to clear it, "Towards the river, their coming. Bella he's going to fight." Bella stands stiff, looking at me before nodding, a small smile on her lips.
"Thank you, for the warning." Bella says and looks straight forward until I hear it. The rumbling of the ground and growling. Large beasts are heading our way, the ground vibrates under our feet as my hole family stands in a lose line.
Bella lets out a loud ear splitting growl that silences the growling from the pack and slowly four wolves trickle out from the woods and on to the other side of the river. One wolf, I assume it's the alpha - from the look of hatred on Bella's face - steps forward, stand in front of the other three wolves. He shifts to expose a tall white skinned man with black hair and green eyes, he smiles at Renesme but there is a hateful look thrown at us.
"Renesmee, we have been worried. Why are you near those filthy parasites?" he asks, the wolves behind him crouched down low to the ground, ready to pounce. Ness goes to speak but the alpha cuts her off. "Have they harmed you? We have to kill them before they tell the Volturi about us, Ness you should have known better...Who is that with you? It's certainly not a leech.. is it a mate?" He asks and before he can finish Bella's laugh silences him.
"What blood line are you?" she asks. The male smiles trying to look charming. "My name is Michael Fang." He says with a smile.
Bella laughs "A Fang, Renesme? A Fang has taken over our pack?!" Bella roars glaring at her sister.
Ness staggers back "B-Bella, he's pretty good at what he-" Bella cuts her off.
"Silence." Bella orders and Ness buckles to one knee. A growl comes from the other side of the river, I watch the scene with avid interest.
"What do you think you are dong to my beta?" Michael growls, the wolves behind him growl. I think they understand this will become a fight, at least for Bella and their Alpha.
Bella smirks, "Do you not know who I am? Are you that un educated as a wolf that you do not recognize an elder and above that you dare to hold yourself above a pure blood?" she questions her voice becoming steadily more angry.
The male scoffs "Ness is the last pure blood and she bows to me. She lost the right to her post and will bow to me until I die." he says and jumps over the river. Bad move on his part.
Before he even touched the ground Bella had grabbed him by the neck and slammed him down in the muddy ground. "That may be closer than you think, pup. No, Van Wolf bows down to a Fang. You filthy little half breed." Bella snarls. The pack I notice suddenly shifts in to human form, some of them in shock with small smiles on, others in anger at Bella attacking their alpha.
"Release him!" a woman yells.
Bella and Michael don't hear it as they are both growling, "Let. Me. Go." He orders his voice echoing throughout the clearing of the yard.
Bella smirks as Michael struggles to get out of her grasp "I was born an alpha, I am the ultimate Alpha. Pup." Bella growls and throws him away from her. She stands straight and glaring as the wolf tilts mid air to land on his feet.
"I was the first born to king and queen Van Wolf. I am you're superior in every single way. YOU bow down to me." she growls as she dashes forward punching him from side to side. She seems to get bored and grabs him by his shirt "You, Michael Fang. Were born in to a family of Omega's. You will never be anything more then…a weak, submitting, dog." Bella says before throwing him to the water.
He smashes in to the river as Bella grins, "Bella!" resonating voice's yell it over and over. "Bella" "Bella!" "Oh my God its princess Bella!" "You're alive!" They all speam at the same time.
Bella smiles at the pack, "Hello, brothers and sisters. It really has been so long." She says and before she can say something else Michael jumps out of the water and shifts mid air charging towards Bella.
She throws her leg up and pushes the wolf over her head and in to the woods. "Stupid, pups. I here by challenge you for the position of Alpha." She growls and the wolf shakes off the fall and growls not a feet away from her. She looks at my family for a second before looking at her sister. "Reneesme, protect the Cullen's." She orders before slowly shifting in to her wolf.
She shifts so slowly you can see her face change, you can hear the bones snap, crack and hair slowly coat her form before she turns in to a wolf and lands on all fours growling. Her wolf surprisingly was the same height as the white wolf. Bella growls and waits until the wolf makes the first move.
He launches forward but Bella is faster, she appears next to him and slashes his legs from under him. He lands on the floor and I hear some of the wolves laughs and others growl. Bella bites the back of the wolfs neck and bites again and again, I hear the wolfs growl dissolve in to a whimper and his legs start to kick as he yelps. Bella's silver eyes flash to me before closing and biting harder.
She launches him to the side and roars out a growl at the weak white wolf. His coat now tainted with red blood and mud. Bella stands her ground her tail still behind her as her eyes fallow every twitch of his muscles as he stands up.
Her hackles are raised and her eyes are shimmering with a silver and black tint. Her growl is infinite as it doesn't stop rumbling from her chest, her teeth beard and lethal shimmering in the day light. The white wolf stands to his feet limping and growls at Bella, his green eyes shining. He snaps his teeth at her and that alone made her launch, she was a blur.
If human Bella was fast, her wolf was invisible. One second she was in-front of us the next she is ramming him with her shoulder as he launches back. Bella bites at the wolfs stomach and the wolfs paw comes up and slashes at Bella's ear.
I can hear some of the wolfs howl in approval at the fight. Others are silent, most are growling. "Renesmee, what's going on? Why aren't they breaking up the fight?" I ask. "There fighting for the right to be an alpha, the fool thinks he has a chance to win against the rightful alpha. We cant break up the fight, they need to settle this on their own. Be it to the death or submitting. Oh, man that is going to leave a scar." Renesme laughs. Her eyes are glued to the fight, but her body is in front of us, right in the middle of the fight and the pack.
I look back to see Bella circling the wolf snapping her teeth at him, he stays still. Once he flinches and Bella bites his leg snapping it. He whimpers and lands on the ground growling at her. Bella stands tall in front of him growling.
Bpov
I growl at the pathetic wolf 'You don't have it in you to be an alpha, you must be fearless. Give in to my command.' I growl at him.
'It is my pack, I will not give in.' He growls back.
I bite his neck, 'You have lost your respect for royalty, give in, I don't want to snap you're neck in front of you're soul bound mate Michael. Give in to my command and bow down to me. ' I order, willing a power dormant in me forward. My birth right to lead and command.
Apov
"Stop!," a woman yells. "Stop, she's killing him!" another yells.
I don't know if it the sheer terror in er tone that makes me act or the swelling in her abdomen, but I speak up. "Bella! Stop you're killing him!" I yell and Bella looks at me, her silver eyes having a swirling blackness in them. "Bella.." I say looking at her and she drop the wolf before shifting back to human.
She shakes her head to clear it before looking at the white wolf who now had red staining its coat. He shifts back to human and Bella growls "Guess who's the true alpha." She says to him. He glares at her, before he tires to stands Bella smirks "Bow to me." she orders and his knee's give in. Both knees hit the ground with a final thump as his arm comes up to hold on to his ribs, blood is covering his skin and even Bella has a bit of a stumble when she straightens up and I see three jagged lines going down her back, blood slowly weeping out of the cuts.
"What position do you think you deserve?" she asks him, blood trickling down her jaw from the fight.
"Beta." He announces sticking out his chest, his head bowed.
She laughs raising an eyebrow "You think a lot of you're self, pup." She says before looking at the pack, "You are ranked as omega, until further notice. All new members are sentenced to judgment by me and the pack. Ness," Bella says looking at her with a bit of a frown. Ness ducks her head "Help you're fellow omega." Bella says loudly and there are a resonating gasps from the pack.
Rosalie explains when she see's my look of confusion. "Ness used to be Beta but when she let some other alpha lead the pack Bella demoted her to omega, it's the lowest rank in the pack." She whispers.
I grimace as Ness walks toward the ex Alpha and kneels next to him putting pressure on his neck. "Wait, did anyone notice that this Bella person is an alliance with vampires!" The pregnant woman yells.
Bella looks at her "No one harms the Cullen's. They feed off animals and have given us sanctuary." She says.
"Traitor! King Charles would be-" Michael whispers and Bella growls to cut him off.
"King Charles, is dead. Queen Rene is dead. I am Queen and if you dear call me a traitor to our people you will wish I was." Bella snarls with such malice and hatred that the injured wolf flinches. Ness growls lowly at him.
"The Cullen's saved my life, I am in dept and so are the rest of you. No one will harm the Cullen's. If you don't like the way I lead you are more then welcome to challenge me, or leave." She says. No one moves and Bella smiles. A girl burst forward and before Bella can speak the girl hugs Bella.
Bella stops for a moment before smiling, and hugging her back. I frown, who is she? "Bella, Bella my love. I thought you had died!" the girl cries. Her love? I try to shake off the jealousy burning in me, Jasper sends me a wave of calm and smirks a bit. I glare at him and he winks. Great, that is one conversation I dont want to have but will not be able to escape.
I look back to see Bella slipping out of the girls tight grasp, "Jade, how are you?" she asks smiling.
"Fine, just fine now that I know you are alive." The girl says before cupping Bella's face and kissing her. I growl but Jasper smooths it out with a wave of drowsiness.
What is wrong with me? its obvious Bella has a mate, but… wait. Bella told me she hadn't mated. Then who was this chick? I shake my head to clear it. Bella breaks the kiss with a laugh "Wow there, someone is to eager to see me. Yes I'm alive, lets keep that between us shall we?" she laughs and just then a male pulls Jade off Bella only to hug her.
Bella throws a sheepish smile at my family before gasping a laugh "Dante, brother. I have missed you dearly brother." Bella says and runs a hand threw her hair. The same guy then scoops Bella in a bear hug and swings her around, "All hale our mighty alpha!" he booms.
Three people howl and Bella grins before she elbows the guy to let her go. "I missed you all so much." She says. She seems to realize something and looks at us. "Cullen's… these are my brothers and sisters...whats left of them. My pack." She says with a shine in her eyes.
"Family, these are the Cullen's. Carlisle, Esme, Jasper, Bree, Edward, Tanya, Emmett, Rosalie and the short one is Alice." She says with a wink at my direction. I stick my tongue out at her. Jade and Dante look at us warily, staring at Bella for a second before their brows furrow and they tentatively smile at us. Distrust is evident in their eyes, I dont blame them.
I smile to my self at the look of pure happiness in Bella's eyes. She pulls away from the pack as my family start to talk with the pack and get to know each other. She stands to the side and I walk over to her, "So, is she the one that got away?" I ask leaning against a tree.
Bella smiles and looks in my eyes, "I love her, but not like that." She says. I feel a wave of butterflies in my stomach, "That feeling is reserved for someone else.." she whispers, does she mean me? "Alice… I know you may not feel the same way but, you mean a lot to me." she says quietly.
I smile "You saved my life Bella, you mean a lot to me too." I say and Bella smiles but we are interrupted by a pack member.
"Bella, there you are! Ness is looking for you." Jade says, walking up to us and frowning at me. "I am very unsettled for how at ease you seem with vampires, Isabella. Maybe the Volturi actually did some permanent damage to that mind of yours." she says frowning.
I growl quietly "I'm not going to hurt her. I saved her life and Bella saved mine. I think its fairly obvious we are friends." I say as I run a hand threw my hair and Bella chuckles as she looks at the girl.
"Couldn't have said it better myself, Alice." Bella says and looks towards Jade. "I realize it is a lot to ask of me for you all to trust vampires after everything that has happened but I promise you we are safe here. They had every opportunity to kill me yet they only showed me kindness. So please tell the others to be at ease, just because I have been gone does not mean I have forgotten how to lead." Bella tells her and Jade sighs.
"It wouldn't be the first time you tell me to give you blind faith, but i'm just so glad it wont be the last one." She says with a smile.
Jade was tall, dark skinned, brown hair, tall with green eyes. Very beautiful, but not like Bella. Jade walks off, leaving to go with Ness to find food in the house. Esme is already giving people food and Carlisle is tenting to Michael wounds.
"Want to take a walk tonight?" I ask, suddenly feeling brave, I swear its Jasper.
Bella smiles wide and nods "Id like that." She says.
"Alice! Come over here, look at this dude!" Emmett booms.
Bella groans, hiding behind my playfully as she grabs my shoulders and slowly begins to lead me over to Emmett "He met, Dante." She whispers.
"What's wrong with Dante?" I ask.
She sighs "Oh, nothing. Only that he's practically another Emmett." She sighs and I chuckle.
