The Making of the Alpha Pair - Chapter 10 – Billy POV
Disclaimer – I am not Stephenie Meyer. I do not make any money of this. I do not own Twilight. If I did there would be a much different wolfie ending.
A/N – Thank you so much for all the wonderful reviews, fallows, favorites, and PMs! They fuel the muse more than I knew they would. I am SO THRILLED to have The Making of the Alpha Pair named the Weekly Wolf Fic on Tricky Raven! main
What a night last night was. My boy phased and took his rightful place as Alpha. He imprinted on Bella and she accepted him and his wolf. She has no fear even when the boys are wolves. I don't know how we are going to be able to hide the truth from Charlie. He is bound to be more watchful after what happened with Cullen.
She only screamed once last night and it was short lived. Jacob went to her and is sleeping in the same bed with her. I'm not thrilled with it but it has given her some peaceful sleep. I know he will respect her wishes and I am fine with that but I don't think Charlie would agree. They are both of age. I doubt Charlie will consider that she is two years older a positive. I don't think he would arrest his daughter for influencing a younger boy with her wicked ways.
Embry joins me at the kitchen table after pouring himself a cup of coffee. His eyes are fixed on the brown liquid in his cup. "What's on your mind Embry?"
"I saw something. Well I thought I saw something last night. When I went to check there was nothing odd or wrong though."
"What did you see or think you saw?"
"After I helped you into bed I came out to the living room. I was kicked back in the recliner when there was a glow that came out of Bella's room. It was the wrong color to be a light bulb. It was different, kind of yellowish. I went to check but Jacob and Bella were both just sleeping. I kept watching but it didn't happen again."
"I thought he went to her when she had her nightmare not as soon as I went to bed." I look for denial from the boy that I know will not be coming.
I hear a grunt from the living room. "Coffee Sam?"
Embry gets up and heads in to the living room as I go poor another cup.
"How does it look?"
"I don't see anything, but sue should be here anytime to check"
"That's her now."
I can barely hear the sounds of tires on gravel and he's ID-ed the car.
Embry opens the door to be surprised by coming face to face with a stressed looking Emily with a large hamper of delicious smelling food.
She shoves the hamper at the startled boy and rushes to Sam's side. "Oh Sam" she whimpers "What happened? Are you OK?"
He pulls the panicking girl onto his side. "Shhh I'm fine. My Alpha just needed to get his point across when I was being to hard headed."
"What do you mean? You're the Alpha."
He shakes his head. "Jacob phased last night."
"He just took Alpha from you?! After all you have been through and have done?!"
"He's the rightful Alpha. Honestly I'm kind of relieved it's not all on me anymore. I did it because I needed to but it has been a strain. Bata suits me better." He smiles at her and places feathery kisses all along her scared face.
Sue softly interrupts. "Let me take a quick look at him and you can most likely have your man back in one peace."
Emily sits on the floor next to her imprint stroking his hair as Sue inspects the skin on his leg, removing the butterfly tape as she goes, and probes the tissue beneath with her fingers.
"Bend your leg back and push against my hand. Now forward. Any pain or anything that doesn't feel right?"
"No. Everything feels fine."
"Everything looks like nothing happened." She scowled at the man lying on my couch "You boys need to quit tearing each other up! I have had to patch you up more from one another than I have from any stinking vampire! Was it necessary to crush his arm the way you did?" Her voice is becoming more impassioned as she goes. "He shredded your leg! This behavior cannot continue!" She hits him in the chest with the first aid bag and he flinches back into the cushions.
Jacob is standing in the hall door with his arm around Bella. "What the hell is all the yelling about?"
Sue stands up and marches over to Jacob. "You boys need to get your act together! Tearing each other up cannot keep happening! The pack is almost twice the size of the last one and we don't know why! You keep getting hurt like this you will be laid up and we will be defenseless when whatever is coming gets here! Now let me check your arm!" Sue snatched his arm over to her and started unwrapping it while my boy tried to process what just happened. "You are just fine. Would never know you two tried to kill each other. You listen to me Jacob Black. Something is coming that has caused so many to phase. You need to train and protect us but you have to be able to be ready when you are needed. I will always be willing to help anyway I can but you have to be smart about it."
She turns to Bella and smiles. "How are you feeling Dearie?"
Bella lets loose with a peal of laughter that makes everyone in the room jump. "Oh Sue, the world needs more people like you. You don't put up with one second of their testosterone fueled nonsense."
I can't help but to laugh at the truth of the girls statement and neither could Sue.
"I am feeling good but I am still tired. I think I just overloaded last night."
Jacob wraps both of his arms around her providing her his silent support.
"I want to check you over just to be sure. Come to the table and let me give you a checkup."
After a quick once over Sue declared that Bella needs to get more sleep and eat more. The rest would resolve itself once she did those things.
"Emily brought enough food to feed the whole pack and all of us. So let's eat and then you", looking at Bella, "go get some more sleep."
Emily hops up and darts off to the kitchen. "Non-shifters get your plates first."
Then there's a knock at the door as it opens. Jared, Kim, and Paul come in. "Did we miss breakfast?"
Emily laughs "When have you missed out on food?"
Jared goes over to Bella grinning. "Hay Bella. This is my imprint Kim."
Bella smile's back at the pair. "Nice to meet you Kim..."
The food is dished out and conversations are all over the place. I sit back and watch what will be my son's life from this point on. His Pack, His Family, His Tribe, His Future.
Sue gathers her things and heads out after reminding Bella to take it easy, rest, and to eat. She says she will check back in a couple of days.
Sam catches Jacob's attention. "We need to show you the patrol routes and the borders. You can go run them with Embry and Paul while Jared and I get things cleaned up here and the girls can have some time to chat without worrying about a mess."
He pulls Bella slightly tighter to him. "How long will it take?"
"You should be able to do it in an hour and a half to two hours. Then you can be back with Bella in your arms again." An understanding smile graces his face. "I know how hard it is to run patrol with a fresh imprint but it will get easier in time."
Bella lays her head against his shoulder. I can't hear what she says but there is an approving look that settles on Sam and Paul's face. Jacob buries his face into her neck. He's taking her in as deeply as he can while caring on a whispered conversation.
I am so absorbed in the happenings in my kitchen I didn't notice the newcomer until Harry opens the front door and comes in. "You ready to go Billy? Hello everyone. It's good to see you two in one piece."
"Hi Harry. What are you and Dad up to?" Jacob asks.
"We have promised the ladies a boat load of fish and the day is already slipping away it 9:00 already."
Looking to Embry Jacob asks "Are you ready to get this done so I can get back here?"
"Yeah man. I'm good to go whenever you are."
Jacob stands keeping Bella wrapped in his arms. "Do not upset her again Sam."
"I'm just here to clean up"
The girls go into the living room as I grab my jacket and gear. "Let's go Harry. Those fish won't catch themselves." We head out to go get the fish for the women.
