Chapter fourteen
"Yeah baby girl, I got one question. How the hell did you do that?" Garrett asked.
"Do what?" I asked in turn.
"Perform a signature Major move on Randall but at the same time manage not to rip his arms off. You're only a few days old and should be able to easily overpower him but you held back and didn't complete the move. Also you went from sweet and caring for Mary's feelings to calculated and domineering when pinning Randall. That was fuck hot!"
Jasper growled low and Garrett quickly flinched and bowed his head no longer drooling over me.
"Jasper quit that, he's allowed to have an opinion. Even if it deals with my looks or characteristics. I'm yours and yours alone, get that through your head. Otherwise I will let my monster out, don't think I can't focus long enough to hear her gnawing at the cage I put her in." I commanded.
"That was going to be my question, how you are in such control. I know that Peter said it would just happen but I just can't understand it." Jasper whined.
"The control is a strange thing, it's not quite a natural instinct reaction. It's more of an observation of everyone around me. Sometimes I feel like you are all waiting on me to just run out that door and find the nearest town ripe for slaughtering. So I concentrate on keeping calm and controlling my powers. I would hate for my shield to come barreling out of me and somehow slice one of you in two."
"But the combat moves, how did you learn them? You've only been a vampire for a few days." Mary said while still looking over Randall to determine any injuries.
"Sorry again Mary, and you too Randall. I really didn't want to hurt you but I had to show my dominance over you and protect Angela."
"Don't worry about it squirt, I've had worse." Randall replied and Mary snuggled in closer to him.
"Come on outside and I'll tell you what I do know about my instincts and skills." I called out as I walked out the door.

"Okay first things first, yeah I got skill but that's because I am very observant. Jasper you and Emmett used to practice fight all the time and when Edward was out hunting I used to watch the two of you from the window. Emmett caught me once and said that he would try to do the moves slower in an effort to teach me. Rose also taught me a few moves. Emmett tried his best to mainly show me moves that you taught Rose on fighting opponents bigger than you. But my training didn't stop there. After you all left the only people I had to hang out with were the wolves. They fight at a slower pace and I learned how to catch people off guard by using speed and fighting dirty. Don't go there Peter you'll just get smacked by Char and hurt by Jasper." I stated.
"Show me." Jasper commanded.
I spent the next few hours showing them all the moves that I learned and improvised on others when Jasper had Garrett or Randall do something that I wasn't expecting. My shield bursting with blue shimmers every so often. I had a blast but finally put an end to it when Randall gave up since Mary was stressed. Jasper tried to get Peter and Garrett to tag team me but thankfully Char stepped in.
"It's like she was made to be the perfect mate to you Major." Char mumbled.
"That's exactly what she is Major." Peter added.
"Are you assuming or did your Yoda senses tell you?" Jasper asked.
"Both."
"Well as fun as this whole display has been shouldn't we get this show on the road? I need to talk to the wolves so let's pack up Angela and get moving towards Forks." I stated.
"I'll carry her that way we can get there faster by running." Peter commented.
"Make her wear a hat and jacket. You might also want to bring a blanket." Jasper added while Char and Peter nodded.
"Ang, sweetie? Time to get a move on. We're going home." I called up the stairs.
"I told you Bella, take me to the res I don't want anything to do with my parents." Angela stated as she walked down the stairs.
"Come on sweet girl, you're riding shotgun so to speak." Peter said as he crouched in front of her. Char pulled a knit hat over her head and slid a jacket onto her body.
"Char please tell me you'll be with me the whole time. You're the only one that can keep pervypire in line." Angela asked.
"Of course sugar. I would never leaving you hanging like that." Char replied.

The run to Forks didn't take that long and Angela thankfully slept through most of it. We did have to stop for her once so that she could go to the bathroom and the look on Peter's face was priceless when he started to imagine the possibility of her not holding the pee and going on his back. Classic. I will remember that for forever and will remind him of it at least once a year. He deserves it for making me listen to every dirty limerick he knew while I was burning.
I spoke to Jake on the phone as we entered the surrounding area and made our way to the Cullen house. To say he was upset was the understatement of the century. Jacob Black was seething. He had met Mike Newton and said he never liked the slimy bastard but now it looks like he has good reason to hate him. He was also upset that I had been kidnapped then sold to a vampire and of course that I was now a vampire. I tried in vain to explain to him that I was with my mate hoping that he would allow me some leniency but he was still angry. He calmed a bit when I explained that not only had I escaped the clutches of Mike Newton but that I had also found Angela unharmed with the same vampires that had rescued me. He wanted to meet immediately and I had to explain once more the fact that I was a vampire.
"Jake, I'm a vampire remember? We need to meet at the border. Angela wants to stay on the res, she doesn't want to go back to her parents. They have been too controlling and demanding of her. Do you mind taking her in?" I asked.
"Not a problem, let's meet in a couple hours. I have to inform the pack so I will have company, I'm assuming you are bringing at least your mate with you." He asked.
"Yup. Currently there are seven vamps including myself with Angela but I'll only be bringing Jasper and Peter with me. At least that's what Peter is telling me to bring." I replied.
"Okay, two hours at the borderline and remember no leeching while in town. Take that shit to PA or Seattle, there are no second chances on that. We will kill any vamp we find." Jake commanded.
"Okay I get it no feasting in the general area. Just so you know we only feed from criminals though." I retorted.
"Don't want the details Bells, see you in two." Jake said before ending the call.
Well that went well.
"He took it better than I imagined he would." Jasper stated.
"Yup, okay I'm sure the rest of you heard the rules no eating from the general population in Forks or La Push. Take it far away or they will attack and kill. Anything else before we go?" I asked everyone.
"Oh one thing sweet cheeks." Peter said before rushing into the house and emerging with four Ziploc baggies.
"The wolves are going to want our scents so pull a piece of your clothing off and put it in the bags. This will help them with distinguishing the different vampires in town." Peter explained.
After bagging the clothing and scents we started for La Push. "Why do I have to ride on Peter's back again?" Angela whined.
"Because he likes to be the pervypire and your cute little ass looks quite scrumptious wrapped around his body. He doesn't even need to hold onto you but have you noticed the roaming hands on your thighs?!" I asked.
WHACK! "Ow woman!"
"Well you keep perving so I have to keep hitting ya. I thought people were supposed to learn from their mistakes?" Char asked.
"Key word PEOPLE! Apparently all pervypires are stupid." I interjected.
"You wound me Bean." Peter said with mock sincerity.
"Yeah yeah yeah." I sighed.

As we closed in on the border of La Push I caught the scent of wet dog. I must have scrunched up my nose in disgust because Jasper chuckled and mumbled about the downside of being immortal. Peter actually pinched his nose shut and stopped breathing altogether. Angela looked dumbfounded at the sight before her.
Standing just behind a shirtless muscle bound Sam were three horse sized wolves. From their coloring I knew they were Jacob, Paul and Jared. I was about to speak to Sam when both the vampires and wolves started to growl. Fuck my life, why do men have to be such MEN! Peter slid Angela down his back and hid her behind his body. Jasper placed an arm in front of me to hold me back.
"They're very angry right now Darlin', I don't think you should go any closer." Jasper whispered.
"How does the leech know we are angry?" Sam asked.
Peter and Angela looked surprised that he could hear what Jasper had whispered.
"Their hearing is just as powerful as ours Peter. Sam your always angry and you share a pack mind so it filters to the others when you shift. By the way I would appreciate you not calling my mate a leech." I clarified.
"Isn't he a Cullen?" Sam asked. Jasper growled.
"He is a Whitlock, as am I. Also you should refrain from mentioning them because it will only anger him further. Trust me when I say you don't want to see his inner beast come out." I replied.
"Maybe we should start with some introductions." Angela squeaked from behind Peter's rigid form.
"Of course I'll do the intros. This is Major Jasper Whitlock my sire and mate, the other vampire is his brother by venom and the human he is protecting is Angela Weber my best friend." Sam nodded and the wolves let out a yelp. I noticed Jacob was a bit antsy and started to wonder what was bothering him. I decided to continue with the intro. "The tall overly muscled man before us is Sam Uley current alpha of the pack. The three wolves are from left to right Jared Cameron, Jacob Black and Paul Lahote." The wolves dipped their heads and went back to growling just slightly.
"It's a pleasure to meet you all. I am indebted to you for watching over Bella when Doucheward forced us to leave." Jasper thanked them.
"Speaking of protecting her, the red-headed bitch came back around after Bella was taken. We killed her with the assistance from the one with dreads. We spared his life in exchange for assisting us in tracking her down. He promised to leave Washington and to never return to the state ever again." Sam stated.
Sam was about to talk some more when I noticed that Jacob was fidgeting again and was quickly moving into a pacing mode. Then I smelled it the scent I noticed on Angela, it was Jacob for sure. I started to put two and two together and realized that she was his imprint. The only thing I couldn't figure out was how I knew that before they had met. Sam had turned his attention to Jacob and both Jared and Paul were growling at him in a means to control him.
"Bean I got this." Peter announced.
"Sam you need to have Jacob shift back to human form, something is about to happen."
"What do you mean something is about to happen?" Sam asked.
"Just do as he says Sam, we can discuss his power later. Trust me it's a good thing and Jacob will need to be in his human form." I added.
"I'm not so sure I want to trust any of you, even if you were recently of the human race Bella. We need to set out some guidelines and rules first before – " Sam started but was cut off by Jacob leaping over him and landing less than five feet in front of Peter and Angela.
"Aw shit!" Jasper, Sam and I all said at once.
Jacob was snarling at Peter, Peter was growling and pulling Angela closer to him. Angela was crying, Sam started shaking as if he would phase as well. Jasper was pulling me behind him again and the wolves were clawing at the ground they stood on. Why can't men ever listen to me? Between the snarling and growling I couldn't hear myself think. UGH! That's it I have to put a stop to this!
"All of you shut up and listen to me for two seconds." I screamed. And of course I was ignored while they all started shouting at one another. MEN, such animals no pun intended.
"Dammit I said listen to me! Angela keep your eyes shut until I say so. Jacob keep your eyes on Peter but don't you dare move. She's safe behind Peter I promise. Sam, Jared and Paul look at me." I commanded.
They did and instantly I knew that my allure was working and the shields were down. All three took a step towards me causing Jasper to growl louder. "Freeze you three, don't move a muscle. Stay in a submissive position for the time being and for God's sake move back a few feet." Thankfully they complied.
"Okay Jacob you have to trust me on this next part, scratch the ground if your with me on this so far." He did but there was a hesitation to it. Damn stubborn fool.
"Peter, slowly take two steps back with Angela." Of course he refused to move. "Peter why aren't you moving?" I asked.
"He's in wolf form, he could hurt her." He whined.
"Peter could you physically hurt Charlotte?" I asked.
"Of course not she's my mate its impossible for me to hurt her."
"Exactly, now look at me." This time he followed my instructions but still kept a peripheral on Jacob. When I had him looking directly into my eyes I told him once again to take two steps back with Angela.
"Good now slowly walk towards Jasper and I. Angela do not move from where you are standing." Once Peter was next us I noticed that he was fighting an urge to touch me. "Peter keep your hands to yourself or the Major will remove them." I threatened.
"Okay Jacob, now you can take a step forward." He did and I looked to Angela who thankfully stopped crying. She was seriously stressed and Jacob could feel it. He was whimpering as if he had been hurt or his stomach was aching and he needed to connect with his imprint badly.
"Alright Angela it's safe to open your eyes now." I said and when she didn't let out a gasp. The imprint had taken affect and Jacob was yelping a bit to show her his excitement. He leaned in with his massive head and nudged her belly. She giggled which caused him to make sounds which sounded like the wolf version of sweet nothings. Slowly her arms came up and her hands ran through his fur. He tilted his head to the side and then she hugged him. As she hugged him she cooed 'My Jacob' at such a low level that I almost missed it.
"What the hell just happened?" Jasper whispered in my ear.
"Jacob just imprinted on Angela in wolf form and she accepted it."
