Chapter 10

It was like a dream. No, a nightmare that she had to face all over again. She was frozen and her feet feels like it was stuck on the ground and no power in the world could take her away from the creature stood on all four in front of her. She screamed but inside, she felt like she was so silent.

Renesmee hold both of her shoulders and whispered to her, "Hei, everything is going to be alright. Don't freak out. Look at me." Renesmee hold both of Angelique's cheek so that she will look at her. The fear that Angelique felt is clearly written on her face. For years, Paul knew that werewolf and vampires are mortal enemy and each sides hates and despise each other. None fear others but the expression on Angelique's face showed that she was terrified of Paul. It was like she never met a werewolf before…

Paul at that time was standing there, right in front of Angelique but he was careful to distance himself from her. He knows how scared his mate was and he doesn't want to take any risk of his mate bailing out of him because of who he really was. It's normal for every werewolf to present and share their secret to their mates if they were humans but judging from Angelique's reaction, it's probably not the best decision at this moment.

He slowly walks up to her but every steps he took causes his mate to hug Renesmee even tighter. He can hear her heartbeat pumping so fast like it was going to burst out of her chest. He relax his chest, it's now or never. Paul growled softly to Renesmee and she nodded. While holding Angelique who was weeping on her shoulder, she steps back, grabs a towel on the front porch and threw it to Paul.

He snatched the towel with his mouth and slowly shifts into a human. His back ripples and he started to stand in his two feet. The fur on his body was starting to fade and his long sharp nails starting to shorten and leaves a much more blunt nails. His face contorted and his elongated fangs becomes smaller as it's disappear into his mouth where a much more human lips is form.

He was fast to grab the towel from his mouth and tied it quickly around his waist that shows his perfect V beneath his chiseled six packs. Renesmee was glad and she whispered to Angelique's ear, "It's okay Angelique. See, there's nothing to be afraid of. "Angelique slowly lifted her head and Paul felt guilty seeing her tear stained cheeks. He raised his hands up and gently steps towards her, "It's okay. I won't hurt you, Angelique. You know it in your heart that I won't do anything to you."

Angelique mouth was slightly open and she was overcome with many feelings at the moment. Shocked, surprised, overwhelmed and scared but she fell at ease. All her fear started to fade seeing Paul in front of her and she doesn't even know why? She just met the man for God sake and more importantly, he's a werewolf. She just met a creature who is a part of her.

"Please Angelique, don't be scared. It's me. We met yesterday, remember? In the woods? I won't hurt you." Paul said with a hint of thoughtfulness. Angelique slowly release the hold that she had on Renesmee and whispered softly and fearfully, "You're a we..werewolf?" He nodded with a small smile and feeling a little confident, he decide to get closer to her but she steps away , "N..no! D..don't come any closer! Please." She beg him and there was sadness in her voice

She despised me that much? Worries fill his mind but before he could say another word, "Paul! I told you too slow down. If you don't change now, she will definitely be sca_ !" Jacob's words stop when he walk out from the woods and notice that silence was in the air and Renesmee was crossing her arms with troubled expression. At that time, Jacob was already in his human form and he was wearing a jeans but his wolf scent was quick to be detect by Angelique. The only difference between these two wolves was Paul has a sweeter aroma than Jacob.

Angelique stuttered, "There are more of you?" Paul sighed and stares at Jacob. Jacob looks disappointed and shook his head, "You just had to show yourself, did you?" Paul look annoyed and turn to face Angelique who stood there with confusion as if she was trying to understand what has happen.

No one ever told me that there are werewolves here?! No! What if they know who I am? Would they hurt me? Would they be disgusted with me? Questions and questions well in her thoughts and her head start to feel slightly dizzy. Her body felt weak as she staggered back. Renesmee move towards her, "Angelique, are you alright?" Angelique whimpers in pain and she can feel how weak her body was at that moment.

"No, I'm not. I don't feel good." She holds her head with pain that slice through her. Paul was very worried and try to get close to her but her body fails to support her as she closed her eyes and fell on Paul's arms once again. She hears voices in the dark and she could feel their touch before darkness engulf her.

Paul got to her before she fell to the ground and all his instinct keep telling him to protect. She was terrified of him and his wolf felt guilty and sad. He never meant to have her fear him but all he wanted to do was making her happy. He holds her in his arms and gaze at her face. She slept peacefully. Her long gold lashes sparkles and her skin was so flawless but what attracts him to her right now were her luscious pink lips. She was absolutely beautiful and Paul was grateful to have her and call her as his.

"Rather than staring at her like some scary stalker, why don't you bring her in?" says Renesmee with a grin. Jacob chuckled behind him as he and Renesmee enters the house. Renesmee holds the door and let Paul carry Angelique into the house. At that time, everyone else left so there was only the four of them presnt.

Paul walks toward a dark couch and gently laid her on it. Jacob offered him a knee length pants and Paul accepted before sat next to Angelique. He kept on staring at her and brushes her hair behind her ear. She looks so petite and in need of a man to protect him. A man like him that will love her and kill anyone that dare to hurt her.

Renesmee came and sat down next to him on the floor and offered him a glass of water. Before he was able to drink it, "I have never met a vampire that knows how to pass out." Paul froze and turns to face Renesmee. "W..what do you mean, a vampire?" Renesmee smiled and stare at Angelique, "Don't you know? She's a vampire. I mean, part vampire. Her dad was human."

Paul drops his glass and stood. He was walking back and forth, brushing his hair roughly and everyone can feel the anger that starting to rise in him, "She's a vampire? A fucking vampire? You got to be kidding me." Jacob was quick to stand by Renesmee side before Paul start to freak out even more. "Man, you got to calm down. Yes she's a vampire but it's not as bad as it look." Paul fangs start to elongated and vein was popping out from his neck. He looks very angry, "Not bad? You're kidding me? She's a fucking vampire, man! A blood sucker! " He shouted angrily but Renesmee step forward, "I told you she is part human too! What's so bad being a half vampire? I'm one and you care for me don't you? Jacob accepted me and now, you're telling me that you're not okay with her being a hybrid?!" Renesmee was practically shouting and she's definitely wasn't afraid of him.

Jacob holds Renesmee shoulders and pulls her slowly to his back for he was worried if anything were to happen to her. "You got to calm down. You're angry and I get it but it's not right for you to go wolf here. Please. I don't want to hurt you, pal." Paul felt like he was going to shift right there. Knowing who his mate was like a hit to his gut but a part of him wants him to calm down because there's a possibility he might do something that he will regret.

He walks to a table and hit his fist a hard as he could on it until there was cracking sound. He closed his eyes and took a deep, heavy breath to calm himself but his effort was futile when he heard Angelique's whimpers, "Paul, is that you?" he turned around to face Angelique's troubled face and his heart melt at the sight of her who still looks beautiful even when she just woke up. He imagines how beautiful she will look next to him after they made love.

She tried to stand and reached out to him but this causes Paul to snapped and quickly ran out into the woods with Jacob tailing him as they shift.

Paul was running with full speed and he don't even know where he was heading but all he wanted to do now was get all the stressing thought out of his head. She's a vampire. What the hell am I going to do? He could hear Jacob calling out to him, telling him to stop so that they could talk. Then, his feet slip and he fell down a hill. He got up, shook his head and walk to a cliff where he rest, looking down at the river flowing gracefully and the bird flying passed him.

He was confused. Why would the Gods do this to me? Was this a test? It's not like I don't like her. Hell, I already fell in love with her but she's part vampire. I'm a werewolf. This is crazy! He let out a long howl. I don't think it's crazy at all. Paul turns his head and sees Jacob walking up to him and rest next to him.

I know you're nervous right now. I know that you're angry but you have to admit that you're happy don't you? Paul snorted; I'll be lying if I'm not. Yeah, I'm happy, ecstatic, out of this world but she's a… Paul stops and laid his head on his paws. Jacob chuckled, A vampire? You're so shallow, man. Paul turned around to growl at Jacob. Stop with the growling thing. I'm a wolf too remember. Look, all I'm saying that of course you're worried about the outcome and what everyone will say about this but you have to know that I was the first one to go through all of this. I mate a hybrid first than you!

Paul turned to Jacob, Now I got your attention. You see, having a part vampire and part human as a mate can be a good thing. Sure they drink blood but they're not as crazy as the full ones. They're much nicer, loving, peaceful and the best thing that has ever happened to me. Having Renesmee in my life was a blessing and I am grateful to the Gods for giving her to me. You'll see that every mate that wolves here have are happy and that doesn't mean you can't be happy too."

His words touch Paul's heart. Jacob was right. Yes Angelique was different but, from the very first time he laid his eyes on her, he can feel the warmness and kindness in her eyes. The entire vampires he met always gave him a dangerous and killer vibe but with Angelique, it was like heaven on earth. Now, he understood how Jacob felt. You're right, Jacob. Angelique's a blessing and I know we can be happy. She's mine and I want to care for her like she's my life. Thanks, Jack.I appreciate that. Jacob smirked in his wolf form and push Paul's neck with his head, You're welcome. Just don't get all crazy like that okay?

Paul chuckled and both of them walk back to the Cullen's house. Paul has a lot of explaining to do and it's not going to be a fun but it is definitely something that he is willing to go through just so he can finally have his mate by his side.
