Bella was in her bed. She dismissed the wolves,cooked dinner and turned out the had been a long day and her rapists were still out there. However,she wasn't too worried. She trusted the wolves,it wasn't like last time when the newborns were that tiem, she wasn't even confident in herself. But this time,she knew not to doubt. A knock sounded at her door. She knew it was sam. "come in sam." For her comfort,he wore a shirt and some sweatpants.
Sam eyes softened and his shoulders relaxed. She was safe. His pack did a good job of making sure she was comfortable and safe. "how are you?" he asked.
"…once they leave and we get rid of my rapisits, ill be much for now, im content. How are you sam?" she asked him.
Sam took a breath. "honestly, im tired, but knowing your safe calms my wolf." After a moment of silence, sam spoke again. "bella, I need to know something. I need you know how I feel . I ..love you. I truly do and I see you as my mate. Ive marked you. Sometimes I don't hink you truly knew what that meant. While it cut off the connection to my father, it also connected you to me. Your it for me bella. There no other women. Your my aplah female. My mate. The same power I have over the pack , you do no going back and I don't want to but I need to know..what do you want? What is this?"
Bella sat up. "sam…I ..I love you. I do. but, the problem is..well therrs two problems. One, if we were to get togather what int eh world are the twins going to think? i mean how will we explain our situation? And two, why me? You could have just been a brother to me and then stayed with Emily. Im damaged goods sam, why do I matter to you so freakin much!" she angry now. her face was turning red and tears were starting to form. She was tired of being used and run over.
Sam smiled, he genty grabbed bella's face and said " solution one, the twins growing inside your body are my siblings yes but until they are ready, they will be my children, and even after they know the truth. They will always be my children When the time is right, we will tell them the wwont lie. Solution number two,Since the day I found you abandoned in those woods, I have always felt protective over you. Bell over these last five months, I have gotten to know you more than I could have ever known Emily. I see your strength and bravery. You could have chosen to put the twins up for adoption and thers nothing wrong with that but you decicde to keep them. And seeing you take on school, fught my mother, volunteer around the rez. It made me see how wonderfulyou are. Im not going to aks you to feel the same way about me, that would be unfair and im not going to push you in anything you don't want. But just know when your ready, ill be here."
Sam stood to leave but before he could, bella grabbed his hand and pulled him to her. She looked deep into his eyes and then kissed him. It wasn't fireworks going of, no explosions. It was soft, warm and gentle. Just what she need. Eventually they pulled apart.
Sam was.. surprised he wasn't expecting that at all, "..wow" was all he said. "wow indeed. I – oh! Oh! Sam their kicking! The babies there kicking!" bella cheered. Sam put his hand on her belly, they were indeed kicking.
"this is amazing." He said, for the rest of the night that was were sam stayed. Bella fell asleep and sam phased. He curled around her, with his head on her belly. The sodt kicks and the sound of butterfly wings lulled him to sleep.
Bella awoke the next morning, she was warm. She turned and her face met something wet. Openig her eyes, she was greeted with sams muzzle. He was soundly asleep. Bella decide she would do something nice, she was going to make breakfast. A pack breakfasts.
On her way to the store, she enjoyed the April weather. It was little chilly but it was good. She passed by emil'y s house and heard laughter. As she kept going, she heard someone calling for help. After a few minutes, she cam e upon Claire and her puppy. Claire was crying,covered in dirt and bruises. "Claire? Claire?" she called. "b-b-bella? Bella!"
"Claire? Sweet heart what are doing out here? What happened?" as bella got closer, she noticed the smell of vodka.
"are you hurt sweetheart?"
"mymy arm really hurts." Claire told her.
Bella looked at it and could tell it was broken. Bela had to get Claire some didn't know why or how but she howled. And literally in the blink of an eye was a wolf. "Troy. I need you to get quill and get sam, tell them to meet a sue and my dads. Ok, and get another wolf to come ad carry Claire. Go"
As soon as another wolf, brady came to take Claire, bella headed to emily's. She was a cops daughter, she knew when sosmene was being abused. Claire was only a child and part of the pack. No one hurt her pack.
