Previously,

"I love you Bella" he whispered and I raised my head to look at him.

"As I you Sam. When Edward left me my life was like a new moon, so dark and cold I didn't know what to do, it felt like I lost everything, my heart, my soul and the reason to live; my life held no meaning. And then I saw you, my and my meaning came back and the full moon returned keeping it bright and you kept me warm. You're my everything now Sam and I love you so much." I kissed his lips and laid my head back on his shoulder, before falling asleep I heard him whisper 'You're my everything to'.

Everything is almost perfect now; I have two new sisters, four brothers and a mate. But I knew in time that number will grow and our family will be bigger and better, but for now everything was almost perfect.

So why do I have the feeling something bad is going to happen soon?

Sam POV

I had a smile on my face as I watched Bella sleep; she was so peaceful, so beautiful. What Bella said to me tonight made me the happiest man alive. She's my everything, I love her so much and I know one day she's going to be my wife.

"Dude you are so lucky" embry whispered as he looked at me, I saw Jake nodding as well.

"Are you okay with this Jacob?" I asked concerned I knew how much he loved her.

"We already spoke Sam so don't worry about it, it's hard yes but I'm happy she's happy and not hurting still from the leech." He whispered while looking at the sleeping Bella in my arms.

"I'm still sorry Jacob, I know you love her but your imprint is out there still." I whispered as I looked at my love, I couldn't help but kiss her forehead softly and smile as she snuggled deeper into me.

"You deserve her Sam; after all she has been through with that leech all that pain she deserves to be happy and I know you are the one that makes her happy and what she said to you tonight proves it. She might not be over that leech 100% but she is getting there I can see it and I hope one day I will find that someone who I can love the way you two love each other. What don't give me that look!" Jake said in one rush and mine and embry's jaw was wide open in shock I didn't know Jake was that sentimental.

"Wow jeez Jake I didn't know you were sentimental" embry howled out in laughter, we shot him a glare as Bella stirred around in my arms.

"Oops sorry bro" he whispered sheepishly, I sighed as my angel fell back asleep peacefully.

"Right boys time to sleep, we got patrol in the morning" I said which made them both groan in unison. I pulled Bella closer to me and buried my head in her hair, she smelled so nice like strawberry and honey mixed in with a woodsy smell.

I woke up to a scream that filled the air; it was painful full of terror and heartbreak. I jumped up and noticed that it was Bella who was screaming, I tried to hush her to sleep but nothing worked. Everyone rushed into the lounge in panic to see what the commotion was, Jake and embry shot up alarmed and whipped around to see Bella screaming.

"What happened what's going on?" Jared yelled in panic.

"Oh my; is she okay" Emily said groggily from Paul's side, even he looked worried.

"What did you do Sam" embry yelled.

"Shit" Jake mumbled while rushing to Bella's side, he took her in his arms and cradled her with my protest. He started to rock her backwards and forwards whispering things too low for even us too hear but it seemed to work.

"She has nightmares, she won't tell me what they're about but I know it has something to do with the leech. She usually wakes up once she screams but what you just saw that was different." Jacob said, I tried to fight back the tears as I watched Bella sleep peacefully in Jacob's arms. I couldn't even sooth her, I couldn't keep the nightmares away. I stood up abruptly keeping my eyes on Bella as I backed towards the front door.

"Sam what's wrong?" Kim asked concerned.

"I feel useless, I couldn't even calm her but she's fine in Jake's arms, I'm not needed and I'm going I need to run" I said while running out the front door and phasing before I hit the forest, I just kept running and running till the sun came up. I crashed at the cliffs just looking out towards the darkened water.

Sam? You've been gone since 3 am it's now 10am, Bella woke up an hour ago screaming your name in terror. She needs you, come home… Jared

Why don't you get Jake to sooth her, I feel so useless. Just leave me alone Jared. I ordered but knew it was no use.

Jared if he doesn't want to come that's fine, Bella's making pancakes to keep her busy until he is ready… you know how good her cooking is… I didn't even feel embry phase.

I looked back at the water and sighed, I should head back Bella must be worried I can feel her sadness and worry coming from the direction of the house. I took one last glance at the water and frowned as I saw what seemed to be fire amongst the black waves; I blinked rapidly and howled as I saw it moves closer to shore. How stupid of me it isn't fire it's that bloodsucker we have been tracking but she keeps dancing along the border testing us then disappearing.

I felt everyone phase and the packs mind in panic I could hear everyone but Bella.

She's protecting Emily and Kim… Jared said calmly

Sam what's wrong what did you see? Embry

Why did you sound the alarm? Jacob

Is it that leech again…? Paul at least he asked the right question.

I saw her in the ocean, it was her hair I thought it was fire but it moved quickly to the shore then disappeared, Paul, Jarred come with me, Jacob, Embry go to the boarder and check if there are anymore. Be careful boys if Bella found out you guys got hurt she'd have my head… I said the last part in terror knowing that if one of them did I'd be in trouble for not helping them.

Alright boss!! The boys yelled and I ran towards First Beach as Jared and Paul came out of the trees looking ready and excited for a fight.

Damn straight we are... they cheered

Sam! Sam! Her scent is fresh along the border but it runs along it in the no mans land and to the beach, it will be about a day old. Maybe last night… Embry

But that's not all Sam her scent there's something strange mixed into hers it's like someone's was with her following her. She has a friend. Jacob yelled.

Don't yell Jake, the beach is clear.

So is the beach… Paul

She must have swum out again… Jared.

Let's go home and talk to Bella about this… Jacob.

BOYS I FOUND A SCENT IT'S A MALE AND HE LOOKS HUNGRY… Embry yelled to us and I saw that through his mind it was a boy and embry was right he did look hungry; he was on the Cullen's land smiling. I took off to the boarder where embry was, waiting.

When I got close to the boarder I phased and walked out to see the boy, he smiled wider at me as I walked out. I growled in warning as he took a step closer to me, the boys were in the forest awaiting a command since I'm Bella's Beta till Jake take's the place.

"Why are you here?" I growled out and the leech laughed.

"Well it is true; there are mutts on La Push" he laughed and the boys growled. He stopped laughing and his dark eyes went wide with shock seeing Jared, Paul and Jake step out behind me.

"I'll ask again, why. Are. You. Here?" I said slowly and each word individually so he can understand.

"Because my mistress wants something you have" he growled out, clear liquid came out of his mouth as he breathed rapidly.

"And what is that?" I growled back shaking severely.

He smiled "the girl" and then he was gone. I stood there confused; the boys phased and looked at me confused as well.

"What girl? There are hundreds on the rez" Jared said confused, he was right though there are hundreds on the rez.

"I don't know but we need to find her and keep her safe. Bella could look after the girls while we patrol" I said, it just doesn't make sense.

"Yeah we could do that, but what are we going to do Sam? Go up to every girl and go 'oh hey you know the tribal legends? Well there true, Sam and us are the protectors of La Push and werewolves, oh and have you pissed off any vampires lately?" Paul said sarcastically, I narrowed my eyes at him even though he has a point.

"He does have a point Sam, you know we cant tell people what we or the Cullen's are it will expose us and break the treaty" Jake said, everyone caught the sneer and disgust as he said Cullen's and even he has a point.

"I don't know but we need to speak to the elders AND the alpha." I sighed; this is going to take a while to get use to.

We heard a howl come from the direction of forks; it was one of pain and alarm. That wasn't right, I quickly undressed and phased as did the boys when I did I was assaulted with Charlie's thoughts.

Boys! Where is Bella? He sounded like he was in agony

She's on the Rez protecting the girls, were coming to you hang on. I said quickly, I saw that he was fighting the male and losing. He hasn't phased for nearly 19 year, from what I could tell the leech showed up and kept laughing at him as he circled Charlie speaking in riddles.

I can't hold out any longer and he bit me, I wont survive this fight Sam and don't try to suck it out the venom will kill you faster. His thoughts were jumbled and I could feel the pain he was in.

We ran faster then we had before, I could tell Jacob was upset Charlie was family to him and was worried too on how Bella will take this, I burst through the trees and saw a big chocolate and grey wolf just a little smaller then Bella and bigger then us fighting the leech, Charlie was bleeding from the neck and the blood was matted in his fur. We charged at the leech growling, he laughed as we ripped him apart slowly, his eyes never leaving Charlie nor did his smile. I looked at him and growled, his vivid red gaze met mine and his smile widened.

"Tell her my mistress said 'A mate for a mate'" he laughed as I bit off his head and chucked it into the fire that Paul lit, I heard whimpering as I turned around I saw Jake nudging Charlies limp form. He was alive, just.

Tell her I love her, tell her I'm sorry and to be strong, tell her I forgive her and she will always be my baby girl. Tell her I was always proud of her, take care of her Sam like I know you will, she will need you. All of you take care of my baby girl… he whispered softly and we all watched as his memories went to Bella.

When she was born, every birthday she was with him, every holiday, every hug, kiss, I love you daddy, every moment of her life he got to see and how happy and proud of her he was. I watched as I first saw her phase into a kitten and Charlies near heart attack as he did, and the last memory I saw was of Bella with us glowing with joy when we phased together before everything went black. No sound came from him he was silent in mind and body, no breather nor heartbeat.

How were we going to tell Bella? She is going to be heartbroken, maybe she will know what the leech meant when it said 'mate for a mate'.

We howled to the sky in mourning at the loss.

Today was the day Charlie Swan died.

A/N: well here is another chapter, sorry it took so long. I hope you all liked it and I'm sorry to all those Charlie fans out there.
