~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~La Push Reservation~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The rev of a motorcycle motor was all that could be heard heading down the terrible roads that covered the reservation. Paul arrived to Sam's and Emily's house and saw that the lights were still on meaning the pair was up, something that he was grateful for since he hated to wake Sam and Emily up to discuss pack business. It was a push of the doorbell that had Sam answering the door, looking ready to chew someone out until he saw that it was Paul.
"What's up?"
"Harry is fine, but I think we need to address the crush that Jacob has on Bella Swan, there is just something off about her and I fear for the pack and tribe if Jacob let's it slip about what he is, what we are"
"You're right but I don't know if me laying alpha law down will work with him"
"Then what?"
"Show Jacob just how self-centered the girl really is. She only seems to come around when she wants her truck fixed after she has done something to it."
"I only think that will work for a short period of time, that girl is messing with some serious magic"
"Did Harry tell you that"
"Yes, he also said something about how this magic would demand payment, a boon I think he said, to gain what it is that the person desires"
"And do we know what that boon will be?"
"No, but I have a feeling it isn't something easy, it will cost her something that not even she will want to give up"
"I will speak to the elders in the morning and see what their take on this is"
"Thank you"
"No, thank you" Sam watched Paul and had to be amazed at the changes that had occurred since Harry had entered the other man's life. He had gone from the hot-headed, fly off the handle at the littlest things to becoming a man that thought before acting something that Paul was so not known for. Now though Paul seemed level headed not at all ready to fly off the handle for the littlest things that would normally have the other man in orbit about it.
"You love him" Sam said easily being able to tell that Paul had more than friendly feelings for Harry.
"I do"
"But he's not your imprint"
"No, but he is meant to be part of my life"
"No, he is meant to be in all of our lives." Sam said, for once in his stint of being the Alpha of the pack he could tell that Harry was meant to be part of the tribe and he had the dancing wolves around his wrist to show it.
"Go back, he is probably sitting awake waiting" Sam had figured out quickly that Harry didn't do well with being alone.
"Thank you" Paul said before leaving Sam's house and making his way back to Harry's wanting to make sure that the small teen was okay. Paul arrived back to Harry's house to notice that there was one light on in the house, which meant that Harry wasn't asleep as he had told the small teen to do.
"Honey, I'm home" Paul said as he made his way through the doggie dog and then shifting back into his human form.
"Paul" Harry said surprised that the man actually came back. He had figured that Paul would just crash at Sam's for the night before heading to work since he had a job that he need to go to.
"You didn't go to bed, you need rest"
"Yes mom" Harry said a smile on his lips, Paul really did care. He was still uncertain on if letting the Cullens back into his life was such a good idea or not since he knew it would be hard on the shape-shifters in having to deal with their mortal enemy.
"Mother I may be but you need all the rest you can get since I have a feeling that you will need to deal with the vampires sooner than you may want to" Harry nodded his head at that, he had been thinking much the same thing while attempting to distract himself until either Paul came back or he fell asleep, whichever came first. Harry soon fell asleep happy to know that someone was in the house to protect his sleeping form. He had rarely gotten sleep at the Dursley's since Vernon always wanted to dole out punishments at the weirdest time, and then there was sleeping with a room full of boys, most of which couldn't pass a Potions test if they were given the answers, that definitely left him hesitant to fall asleep while they were awake. They had called him a prude once when they had all been measuring their cocks and Harry hadn't joined in. Prude he may be but he thought that the scars on his body might show the rest how great his life had been or was while living with his relatives. He knew that the Weasleys at least suspected since they had rescued him when there had been bars on the windows of the second bedroom. He in no way thought of that as his, it was a place that his Aunt and Uncle put broken things once Dudley destroyed it.
"Quit thinking" Paul called out from the extra bedroom that he had been staying in while the roof on his shack of a house got fixed.
"You know me too well" Harry called out and then stopped thinking about Hogwarts and Britain in general, nothing good would come of it so he had no point of thinking about it.
