Hehe :D

Hey everyone!

I know you've all been waiting patiently for this chapter and I decided not to torture you all any longer! I promise to lay off the cliff hangers for a while in order to not annoy you all too much.

I know I've said this before but I'm going to say it again anyways so that maybe people will register it and use it as a way of finding out answers to your questions and dates for chapters to be posted instead of people hounding me to hurry up. So, if you want to see answers to your questions or see dates of next posts for any of my stories: visit twilightloverforeverandever (dot) blogspot (dot) com. For those of you that I'm sure will ask, no, it does not mean that I will be posting this story on my blog. However, there is a chance people who read it will be able to view sneak peeks and the such before the chapters come out :D

Thanks again to my fabulous beta reader for editing this chapter!

I hope you all enjoy this chapter!

Last Chapter:

I looked up at them, ready to listen to what they had to say, when I caught sight of the familiar horse-sized wolf in front of me. This time, however, the midnight black wolf was glowing to me in the same way I did to Sam.

As you Wish, Alpha

My eyes slowly travelled up the wolf-like body and met the eyes of the giant wolf. In that moment, my whole world shifted. The cables that connected me to the earth snapped and broke away. Then, stronger, more permanent cables reattached me to this earth. This time, however, rather then being connected to nature, they connected to Sam. He was what held me to the earth: he was my very reason for living.

As the images of my world shifting passed through my thoughts, a wolfish smile crossed Sam's face before he threw his head back and let out a triumphant howl. At the same time, several chuckles echoed through the rest of the pack in amusement.

I heard Jake's amused chuckles above the rest, 'Now you won't be able to stay away from him, even if you wanted to.'

I glanced in the direction the thoughts had come from and found a russet-brown wolf staring back at me.

'Jake?'I asked.

His giant wolf mouth opened and a long tongue rolled out. I stared at him curiously for a second, before his huge pink tongue suddenly licked the side of my face.

I pulled a face as I stepped away from him and yelped, 'Ew, Jake. Gross!'

He, along with the others, just gave a wolf-like laugh of amusement. The laughter stopped, though, when Sam let out an annoyed growl at the rest of them. I glanced back at him as he slowly walked towards me.

'How are you feeling?' he asked as he stepped closer to me, stopping a few feet away.

'I feel fine,' I answered honestly, unable to lie to what I already knew for certain was my imprint.

His large head nodded as he moved closer still. He stepped up beside me before bending his head and rubbing his black nose along the side of my muzzle, sniffing me.

'You're beautiful,' he told me before a thought slipped out that he'd been unable to hide from us. 'And you smell amazing.'

I giggled as I heard the others groan.

'New rule,' Jake said, pulling a face. 'You two are not allowed with in two feet of each other when there are others phased.'

Sam growled angrily at him but I quickly stopped him by nudging him with my nose, 'This is going to be bad enough for them having to share their thoughts with a girl. If they don't want us to be within two feet with each other while there around, then we won't be.'

Sam sighed before turning fully to face me and lying down on his stomach, with his head rested on his paws, 'As you wish, Alpha.'

I watched from Sam's thoughts as it seemed as though a huge weight had been lifted off his shoulders and the sense of authority he always felt, left him and instantly landed on me. I also noticed that as it landed on me, a sense of rightness and relief passed through us all. We all knew in that moment that the Alpha position was rightfully mine.

Even so, I frowned down at Sam, 'I hadn't been expecting to have to take up the roll straight away.'

Sam shook his head as our eyes locked and we stared at each other as though we were the only two people in existence, 'You once told me that should the Alpha appear, you thought it was theirs to take and that I should hand it over. I have done what will make my imprint happy.'

I smiled softly at him, 'Thank you.'

'Bells,'Jake spoke. 'Before we do anything else, you need to choose a Beta and a Gamma.'

I stared at him as though he had grown a second head, 'What kind of question is that? You'll be my Beta, Jake.'

He grinned at me as a slightly smaller sense of authority surrounded him. From the thoughts of the others, I knew that he'd be able to give commands to everyone but me, unless it directly conflicted with an order I'd already given.

'But what about a Gamma?'Jared asked.

I glanced at Sam and stared at him as he had risen off the forest floor before glancing around at the others.

'I don't want it to seem as though I chose him simply because he's my imprint,' the thought involuntarily ran through the pack mind. 'I want it to be obvious that I chose him due to the experience of the past few years.'

Embry smiled across at me as my eyes landed on him, 'We understand; even if he had not been your imprint, when the new Alpha came we had expected that Sam would become Gamma.'

I smiled at him before turning back to my imprint, 'You will be my Gamma, Sam, as well as my mate.'

He smiled at me as an even smaller sense of authority surrounded him than had Jake.

Sam abruptly stopped smiling and cursed, 'We forgot about the bloodsuckers when we heard you phase.'

Watching as flash after flash of memory passed through the pack mind, I quickly came to a decision, knowing what the best decision at the moment was.

'Lead the way,' I told Sam and Jake. 'I need more experience before I lead you all into this.'

Sam nodded before he abruptly went back into Alpha mode, 'Seth, Brady, Collin, you three are to return to the Res and protect them should a leech come from that direction. The rest of you, we need to head towards the treaty line. The Cullens have called a meeting.'

Used to such commands, the three boys specifically mentioned, did as they were told as the rest of us followed Sam towards the treaty line.

'Bella,'Sam's thoughts reached me as we ran. 'I know you're Alpha and all, and I know that you're going to be more powerful then any of us but please be careful. I'm going to be distracted enough as it is with you even with in 100 yards of the bloodsuckers.'

'I'll be careful.' I promised him before we both snapped our attention back to running through the trees that were speeding by.

As we drew closer and closer to the treaty line, a horrible smell hit my nose. Well, I realised after a short moment, it wasn't actually me that smelt it – it was Quil, the one with the best nose, who smelt it and it passed through the mind link. Moments later, Paul, the one with the best hearing, announced that he could hear murmurs coming from them as the low buzz of conversation reached us through him.

'Get into formation,' Sam ordered as we approached. 'I'm going to phase back so that I can talk with them. I want Jake on my right and Bella on my left.'

Jake and I both nodded as Sam stopped running in order to phase, while the rest began to form a V shape facing towards where we could now all smell and hear the leeches. Sam appeared only a moment later, now in human form and stepped between Jake and me.

He paused for a moment to run a hand through my white fur, causing me to admit a pure like sound. He smiled and placed a kiss on my ear before turning expressionless and walking through the trees. We all followed him into the clearing and instantly saw the leeches who'd called this meeting.

There was a blond haired male and a caramel haired female who looked like the eldest of the group, the doctor and his wife. A tall blonde female and a large male, who looked extraordinarily like a body builder, stood to their left, while a copper haired male stood to their right. Another blonde male and a short, black haired female stood beside the copper-haired one. They all had strange amber eyes.

"What have you called us here for, Vampire?" Sam demanded of them.

The copper-haired one had a confused look on his face as the doctor turned to glance at him. He shook his head minutely at the doctor with a frown on his face. With an equally confused expression, the doctor turned back to us.

"I'm Carlisle," the doctor stated as he stepped forward. "This is my wife Esme and my children, Edward, Alice, Jasper, Emmett and Rosalie."

He gestured to each of them in turn.

Sam's eyebrow rose at the same time as many of the wolves made disgusted sounds in the back of their throats.

'As if we care,'Paul's thoughts sneered.

'Filthy bloodsuckers,' Jake snarled.

'Leeches shouldn't have names,' Quil thought. 'They're not human, they don't deserve them!'

'Silence!' I barked out angrily but, to those outside the pack mind, it came out as simply a bark.

Sam glanced at me quickly with a smile as the pack instantly quietened down, before turning back at the leeches. The bloodsuckers glanced between us in confusion before Sam spoke.

"I do not see why you have called us here," Sam stated simply to 'Carlisle'.

"My apologies," Carlisle stated quickly. "We have called you here to warn you."

"Warn us?" Sam asked, eyeing him critically.

"We will be having visitors in a few days," Carlisle told us.

Several of the wolves growled deeply but another barked command of 'Silence!' quickly cut it short. Sam pretended not to have noticed.

"Do they follow your diet?" Sam demanded.

"They do," Carlisle stated, eyeing him as though he was going to explode into a giant wolf any second now.

I growled at him and all the bloodsuckers turned to look at me.

'Black,' Sam muttered and I instantly stopped to stare at him in surprise for having called me by my last name.

'He's making sure not to give away your full identity,' Jake's thoughts told me.

The leeches, however, had had a reaction to my last name. They obviously recognised it from the first time they'd been here and were eyeing me cautiously.

Sam, however, quickly distracted them again.

"The same rules apply for them as you," he stared the bloodsuckers down. "If they simply bitea human or set a toe on our side of the line, the treaty is over and we will declare war."

Carlisle nodded, "We shall tell them such and there shall not be a problem."

"There had better not," Sam snarled in a tone very unlike himself.

Several of the leeches snarled in return, causing most of the pack to copy.

'Silence!' I barked out again at the same time as the lead bloodsucker warned them to calm down.

I took a step forward and nudged Sam with my muzzle when he continued to glare and sneer at them. He instantly stopped and turned to look at me. I nodded my head towards the woods and he instantly nodded, getting my thoughts before turning back to the leaches.

"We must be going," Sam stated, back to his image of calm. "Keep your 'visitors' under control."

With that, he turned and walked back into the woods, the pack following after them. I eyed the Cullens for one more moment as they stared back at me curiously, but also cautiously, before I spun on my heel and ran with the rest of the pack, back to La Push.

Tell what you all thought when you review!

The first encounter with the Cullens and the pack quite obviously don't like them. Who are the Cullen's visitors?

Last chapter I received 48 reviews, think we could make it 50 for this chapter by the time I post the next chapter?
