Chapter 25: Deals

BellaPOV

Before it could get too late, Alice and I made our way back home. Our hands clasped together the entire time. We both kind of needed the contact, no matter how minimal. As the house came into view, so did the smell of wolf shifter, more particularly Leah. When we entered the house we say Kate sitting on Leah's lap. Leah was stroking Kate's back as the blonde had a conversation about shopping with her sisters. Next to me Alice practically started vibrating. Concerned I turned towards her.

"Um Alice. Are you ok?"

She waved her hand at me dismissively before dashing over to her cousins to join in on their conversations about clothes and other things I couldn't find interesting. I made my way over to the couch where Emmett was sitting. We decided to play a few rounds of Dungeon Defenders before he got bored and switched games. As I sat back on the couch to watch Emmett play some soccer game, Alice danced over to me and sat on my lap, my arms automatically snaked around her waist. Suddenly a loud howl rang through the house causing all activity to stop. The Denali's, Esme, Carlisle, Edward and Jasper all flashed in from different areas of the house. We automatically all looked at Leah, but she had stood and pushed Kate behind her. That howl was definitely not friendly. We all carefully made our way outside. I made sure my body was in front of Alice's. After a few seconds of scanning the tree line, a white and grey wolf stepped out of the woods. Its body shook with powerful tremors as it changed. In place of the wolf was a tall, muscular boy. His hair was short like many shifters. While he was muscled he wasn't overly so. It suited his young looking face well. A face that was too familiar.

"Trevor?" The minute his name left my lips, his head snapped in my direction, a pained expression on his face. "What are you doing here?"

"Looking for you Bella."

"You shouldn't have changed…I don't understand." My brows furrowed together. No one else in his family has ever had the wolf gene.

"My parents didn't really understand it either." He took the shorts wrapped around his leg and slipped them on. Every eye was on him. Calculating. After he was done pulling his shorts on, he turned his attention back to me. I noticed his nose was slightly scrunched up. "Bella…you have to come back." A loud growl sounded from Alice behind me. I put my arm out to keep her from advancing.

"She's not going anywhere with you mutt!"

"She must. If she doesn't, then Gregor will get to her." That confused me thoroughly.

"He'll kill her as soon as you report her back to him." Edward sneered at him.

"You don't understand-"

"We understand perfectly well flea bag." Rosalie hissed.

"Enough." Carlisle's voice rang out. He turned to Trevor. "Don't you report to Gregor? We cannot hand Bella over to you."

Trevor shook his head. "I don't report to Gregor. I have a different alpha. The pack has split."

"The pack split? Why?" I asked. This was too confusing.

"After you left some people wanted you dead, namely Gregor. Your grandfather stood up for you. He said that he only wanted you off the lands, not dead. Gregor argued with him over it, but your grandfather had made his decision. Blinded by his rage Gregor left, became a rogue. After a while, others left to join him and they've been the ones hunting you. Unfortunately, it was most of the pack that left. Our pack is outnumbered 8 to 4." The words sank in. My grandfather…stood up for me? He didn't want me dead? I felt awful now. I had attacked him. A small whimper left my lips causing Alice's hand to slip into mine, squeezing slightly. Trevor looked at me and smiled sympathetically.

"I hurt him." My voice cracked.

"He understands Bella. He was never, is not mad at you." I nodded my head.

"I understand Trevor, but I can't go back. He won't understand my friendship with this coven. And I've found my mate." At these words, his eyes zeroed in on my and Alice's joined hands.

He smiled a little and nodded. "Ok. If that's what you think is right, then I'll go. I'll just say I couldn't find you. Just know you can always come back. I'll plead for you if I have to." Smiling I stepped forward and walked towards my childhood friend and wrapped my arms around him, ignoring Alice's growl. He returned the hug before ruffling my hair and dashing off into the forest. I watched him go.

?Pov

I watched as the little pup ran away from the coven before me. I watched as my pint sized mate walked towards her supposed 'mate' and wrap her in a tight hug. I held back the growl that threatened to escape my lips.

"James. We must go now. I cannot conceal us any longer." Glaring back at my dred headed companion, I reluctantly nodded before taking off. We were halfway back to the others when I decided to make a little detour. Laurent followed behind me.

"Conceal us now." He nodded and I could feel his power beginning to work. We ran for a few minutes before the awful stench of wolf shifter filled my nose. In front of me was an encampment of wolf shifters. I stepped out into the opening my hands in the air, the universal sign of piece. No need to have them rip me apart before my plan goes into motion. Immediately I was face to face with 3 horse sized snarling wolves. Such foul smelling creatures!

"I must speak to your alpha." I was only met with more growls and snarls. "I have information on a Bella. I think she is a common target." Immediately the snarls stopped. The wolves started to part and I came face to face with a scarred, scowling male. His considerable bulk I must admit was a bit off putting.

"What makes her a common target leech?" Resisting the urge to roll my eyes at the overused insult, I got right to business.

"She has something of mine and I need her dead. I would love to do it myself, but she is currently under the protection of an exceptionally large and powerful coven. I've tried to make an army of my own, but they are already privy to that. If you help me, you get revenge and to kill some more vampires along the way as a bonus."

Seeing the glint in his eye, I knew I had him. "You're disgusting for giving up your own kind for personal gain. I think we're going to become great partners." With a grin he grabbed my ice cold hand into his blazing grip and shook. Soon little Mary Alice…soon.

Hope you lot enjoyed this chapter. I wrote it while my cousin was visiting. I occupied myself with something useful instead of bashing his face in. Yeah my shoulder hurts. I'm gonna go put an ice pack on it. Bai!
