Irina's P.O.V

We all rejoiced that finally bella got her shit together. What was she thinking? Tanya would be better off without her. Love that little human like a sister but she can be a little thick at times. I wanted to feel bad about slapping her but I couldn't, she deserved that wake up call. I also think the only reason that Esme wasn't trying to rip me apart was because she had that wake up call. "Finally!" Kate throws her hands in the air when the sound of lips met.

"That's my girl." Jasper, the proud brother agreed. Emmett looked like he was brushing up on his jokes with a scary grin on his face. Rosalie was about to pass out along with Esme and Carlisle. Those three. Finally, it became too much for Emmett and her blurs downstairs before any of us can stop him. The sound of a smack reached our ears and Emmett was brought back upstairs by his collar by Victoria.

"Don't you dare ruin this moment." She hissed setting him down. That was a bit funny. We weren't all buddy-buddy god no, but I agreed with the red-head. "Thank you victoria. Sometimes my monkey man doesn't know when to quit." Rose turned on a sullen Emmett. The only thing that was bad about giving Emmett all of the attention?

"KATARINA!" Is that we forgot about Kate. With a sigh we all trekked into the living room. A blushing Bella was hiding her face on a seething Tanya who was glaring at a smug/sheepish Kate. "Blush any harder bella and your face will burn off."

"Kata!" Emmett high-five's her and even Tanya was having an bit of a hard time containing her smile. "You're glowing sister."

"Shut up and leave Bella alone. You've ruined a perfectly beautiful moment." Bella finally peeked out from her Tanya wall at her audience. "Yeah, leave me alone Kate. You've already got between me and Tanya."

"Kate, you've been in between Tanya and Bella? You work fast girl." Bella's face flames again and the rest of us can't help but laugh, she makes it too easy for them.

"Fuck you Emmett, you too Kate."

"Your bedroom or mine princess?" Another high-five from Emmett. "You're insufferable." At this point Tanya loses all resolve and joins in on the laughter. Charlie looks uncomfortable for a bit but even he can't deny that his daughter just made that too easy.

"Bella, quit while you're behind." She gives him a thumbs up still hiding from us. "Behind? Who's behind?"

"Shut up Riley!" Unable to take anymore, Bella stomps off to her room mumbling something about we suck, and go to hell. We settle down and I listen to the others talk and nuzzle each other. It's days like this that I find my inner peace. I don't have a mate for myself yet, but my family was more than enough to keep me sane and happy. The love they sheltered me with made me giddy with joy. I know I can be a hard ass, part of the reason rose and I got along so well in the past. Underneath it all I just wanted my family happy. No jealously involved just happiness. As I look around I think, this is peace.

A great howl rips through the air followed by vicious snarling. Damn, I spoke too soon. Thinking the worst possible thing, we sprang into action. Carmen and Esme went to Bella while the rest of us darted out the door towards the sounds. "Fuck." The deep, angry words were heard along with parting feather light footsteps. The scene that greeted us was truly horrific. What laid in the middle of the blood splattered snow was a wolf. Slender and light grey, it was beautiful. The poor thing was breathing deeply and slowly. It's heartbeat slowing down. What monster could hurt such a beautiful creature?

"That's one of the La Push wolves." Emmett said looking down. When the words left his mouth, the wolf shrank into a very lovely, very naked copper skinned woman. I couldn't think, all time stopped. She was beautiful, so smooth and just…glorious. The men, sans, Carlisle diverted their attention away to give her privacy. "She's losing too much blood, I have to get her to the house to treat her."

"What?!" Victoria and Riley yells out. "You're going to save this thing? Isn't she apart of the pack that is trying to kill us? She should be left, one less to worry about." before I could stop myself I hisses at the woman. Eyes of surprise turn to me.

"I understand that, but I've never denied some in need help. I can't just leave her here." They both simmer down with a resigned sigh. Carlisle picks her up and we move back to the house. I can't shake the undying need to be near her. My body is changing it feels like. Expanding past what I knew for 1000 years. Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie, Alice, and Kate stayed to scan the surrounding area just in case. I would have but the pull was too much. The light brown, blood stained skin made me twitch with worry. She has to be ok, just has to be. Carlisle set her on in the study on the table. "I need hot water, a needle and thread. The items were fetched by Charlie seeing as how I couldn't move from my spot beside him. He cleaned her wounds and used the needle to sow up her deeper cuts with his venom coating the tip to pierce her skin.

"Now what?" Riley asked. "Now, we wait."

I covered her and sat next to her when he was done. He studied me for a bit before a look of understanding covered his face. Minutes turned into hours, hours into days. I never moved nor did she. In my time I studied her features. She looks like she would stand about 6'1 in height, milk chocolate skin unblemished begging to be touched. Strong chin but smooth, rounded face for her feminine features. Tapered hair falling from short to long, back to front; lips inviting. Four days passed and I watched her body heal itself. The treatment used to close her up slowly pushed out the offending material. Marvelous. It was mid morning when her eyes popped open to stare into mine. A rush of something ran through me then. So powerful, so final that it was only understood and voiced with one word.

Leah's P.O.V

Pain. I was in so much pain. I couldn't recall right off hand when I was last in this much pain. I remember fighting that twat of the vampire Edward. His ugly face smiling down at me like I was something to eat. I remembered being scared, not for my life, for Seth's. He would take my death hard and who would protect him? I remember sending him my last telepathic message, 'I love you, Seth. Stay safe.' His worried voice carrying back cries of confusion. Waiting for the final blow, I stayed unmoving. Then, darkness. I don't know how long it was like this, just still and waiting.

My heart was slowing down when the most intoxicating smell hit my nose. Sweet voices and soft hands touched me. Hope dared to flare within me now. I became weightless. My body flying in the air and movement all around me. Hurried steps and rushed actions whipping by. My skin then pierced by something sharp and stinging. Warmth surrounded me and the same hope grew. It felt like years that I was still. All through the time little reassurances filtered into my brain, telling me I was going to be ok. Begging me to come back and join them. How could I deny such blissful words. Such healing touches and my hope. I had to push through, I had to fight. So I did, with great effort I became aware again of the real world. I wasn't prepared for the site that greeted me. My eyes popped open and golden ones blazed through me. Once again I was flying, but this time it was to another soul. Holy god the feelings that won me over. Flashes of my life before razed down and my heart thumping widely in my chest. I exploded right there. My mind saying this is you, this is it, you've finally made it! My reason for breathing, my reason for living! We both whispered at the same time one word to seal our fate. "Mate!"

Jaspers P.O.V

If he wasn't already this time he surely was a dead man. Edward had hurt another soul without reaping the consequences. I didn't really agree with Carlisle's choice but my own was conflicted with my up bringing to help a person in need. The girl had been out for days, Irina's worry hard to block out. We talked about what to do if she was hostile when she woke up. In the past the native woman hasn't really shown any true hostility towards us. Just another poor soul at the mercy of following orders. With that I could sympathize. Bella was on protection duty far away from the wolf until the situation progressed positively. She wasn't happy about it but understood. The grounds her patrolled daily for any signs of Edward or the other wolves. My thoughts were broken when I hit my knees suddenly. My wife came to my aid by I couldn't breath. My emotions spiked with love and devotion crippling me. "Oh god!" I wailed out grabbin' my chest. The family had assembled around me wonderin' what was happenin'. We all heard it, the whispered confession. "Mate." Wow, that was the closest thing to being love drunk since my own mating with Alice. It lingered but I was finally able to stand. I turned to my family still clutchin' my chest. "Leah Imprinted."

Alice's P.O.V

The shock that ran through us nearly sent my honey back to the floor. Of all things we expected and prepared for, this, was not one of them. About 2 sounds after Jasper told us what was happening, I was tossed into a vision.

Vision

The family was standing on a green battle field. All of us crotched and ready to jump at a moment's notice. Our opponents, a sea of wolves. It's the first time I've been able to see them clearly I thought I'd strayed into a dream. What was surprising was that we had two wolves with us as well. Leah I recognized but the other was a mystery. No words were spoken but the command was given. "Go!" We charged and the vision turned to black.

Vision End

When I came to, everyone was looking at me expectantly. "We have 2 months."

Jacob's P.O.V

We were running through the desert of New Mexico when I skidded to a stop. "What's the problem, jake?" Paul asked through our minds. "Leah's pack connection, it's been severed." The only time that can happen is if a natural alpha breaks away from the pack or the pack member is dead.

"Good riddance I say." Sam huffed. I had to agree, Leah was always a wild card and a bit of a traitor to her race. If she got herself killed I hope her last thoughts were about how wrong she was to defy me. Still, even if we were happy with the loss we could use this against them as well. This was all falling into place.

About two days later we arrived deep into the forest of Brazil. A little tribe laid remote for supernatural beings. "Who are you?" A tall light skinned man stepped forward to us. I shifted back and proudly stated, "I am Jacob Ephraim Black of the Quileute Tribe. We've come to ask for your assistance."

The man looked us over before we gestured for us to follow him. Inside the village roamed more wolves and people. Children and women stopped to look at us when we passed. Off hand I could count about 20 of them. A good size pack. We came upon the largest tent and the man held back the flap for me. "Paul, Sam, come with me." Both shifted back and followed me. The entire layout was traditional so I would have to go about this just the right way in order to get what I wanted. As expected, the chief sat in the middle flanked by two big men. I kneeled down and pressed my head to the ground in respect to the man.

"Rise." His raspy voice called to me and my kin. "You are a young pack. How many years?"

"Most of us are a little over a year old. Our oldest is 3." He doesn't look surprised. "Why have you come to my tribe?" He looked over Sam, and Paul.

"We humbly ask for your help. We've had a great injustice occur. Cold ones terrorized our tribe and killed one of our own." Growls echoed throughout the tent including the Chiefs. "You wish to seek vengeance?"

"I do. They rein over our town and feed as they please. One of mine, his imprint was among the carnage." A little white lie didn't hurt our tale. It wasn't as if they could see the exact images. The chief took the information in for a moment. His proud features twisting in anger and thoughtfulness. "How many?"

"There are about 15 of them. We have other's in my pack but our boarders would have been leave unprotected." He nods in understanding.

"You are a young alpha. Very noble name as well. I remember Ephraim from his years as a pup. He was a strong man. A good chief. How many do you require in your aid?" Got him right were I need him. "As many as you can spare."

"Keep in mind I cannot leave my people unprotected. I shall gift you with 10 of my wolves. All are experienced with fighting cold ones." Not the numbers I'd hoped for but they would give us the advantage. "How old are they if you don't mind me asking." He chuckled at me.

"Far older than you young one. My people have thrived for over 300 years. I myself being 466 years on this earth." Whoa. He stands and laughs at my face. Standing, he stood about 6'7, built like a 30 year old man. "Do you still shift?" He nods, damn.

"Come." We follow him out the tent and towards the center of the village. There were several men sparing, the biggest tossing those around him like paper in the wind. "Rest." The chief spoke to them. They stopped instantly bowing to him. "My oldest wolf and son, Takani."

The man tilts his head in respect and I do the same. He was massive. As big as the big Cullen and just as muscular. Strong chin and proud stance while we eyed each other. His long hair pulled into a pony tail. "Honored." I grasped the man's forearm, a custom greeting for warriors. "Let us all sit and discuss your journey and mission. Tell your wolves to relax and join us, you are amongst friends." My inner smug grin made it's way to my face. Finally, justice would be served.

Well there you have it. I hope I did the native americans some justice. Even though in this fic they are displayed as the antags I've always found their race to be a proud people and strong. No offense was meant in this story. Please keep that in mind before you message me with your hate haha. love ya. Rage on
