PLAGIARISM NOTE: If you guys read my previous author note, then I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. Her account was DELETED but she made a new account and her name is now Tiffany Van Alen. We came to an agreement... I think? I'm not so sure because I'm still waiting up for her reply, but I'm pretty sure she's not going to copy any more stories for a while :)

I'm just keeping a close watch on her. I don't mind if she reposts the story really but she has to make sure to write it in her own words. No more copy and pasting! Also, I'm making sure that she at least changes the storyline of the story. No one really wants a second copy of their story here on Fanfiction, right? Right!

If you guys know VainVamp, her story is once again the only copy here on Fanfiction! The one who supposedly "adopted" the story from Tiffany Van Alen took the story down because she found out about what happened. So let's give her a round of applause! :D

We shouldn't have any more problems with this story anymore. YAY!

Please enjoy Chapter 27 xD

Chapter 27: Meeting the Pack

Bella POV

Holy. Fucking. Shit!

Did he just – He couldn't possibly have….

"Jake?" Sam asked in shock. Jake just up front ignored him before continuing to talk to me.

"What's going on?" he demanded. I flinched at the tone of his Alpha voice by accident.

"Remember when Alice said she's looked into every possible outcome?" he nodded his head sternly. "It seems as though she left out one important information. The Volturi. They are like the royal vampire family and if anyone was to threaten their position of power, they set immediately to get rid of it," I told him.

I knew that everything sunk into him the moment I saw his eyes darken. "Since Edward is collecting all these special vampires, he's threatening the Volturi without knowing," he stated.

"That's right," I told him. I swallowed a lump on my throat. "Th-they also get rid of humans that know of their existence," I admitted. His eyes widened and he let a growl slip from his mouth.

"I've decided to give them a call soon and inform them of what's happening but I know that, that won't be the end of it. They have a vampire that can read anyone's past. If they were to meet up with Edward, they would know about me. And if they know about me….. you get what I'm trying to say," I explained sadly. I can't let them die! I couldn't bear the thought of Blake dying.

"The imprints!" Sam sneered at me. I shook my head at him.

"I don't think it would apply to them. You guys don't abide by the laws that Volturi make. They can't do anything to you guys or the imprints, unless you threaten them," I assured him. The rest of the Pack sighed in relief, but they never, not even once, turned their hard, cold glare away from me.

"And you?" Jake asked worriedly.

"That's why we're here," I announced.

"You're not alone?" he asked before looking around.

"I brought Blake, Auid, and Jeremy here. I maybe….. kinda told them that we're on a road trip?" I chuckled nervously, while I played with the hem of my shirt.

"Hey, she's kind of cute when she's nervous," I heard one of the Pack members comment, but I wasn't sure who it was.

"Shut up Quil," Jake ordered and he immediately shut up. Alpha orders, right…. Suddenly, Jake's eyes widened as he realized what I was trying to say. "Oh shit. You told Audi about the bloodsuckers," he pointed out.

"Yeah, if it was just me, I wouldn't have asked something this big from you. I can't possibly be the cause of any of their deaths. I know that the Volturi would go after them whether or not they know. I just…. please protect us. I wouldn't be able to handle ever being away from Blake again. Please," I pleaded.

His eyes softened and he walked over to me. He took my hands in his and looked at me in the eyes. "I promised you that I had your back. No matter what," he told me with a smile. I smiled brightly, letting a few tears escape my eyes.

"Thank you!" I exclaimed before taking him up into a huge hug.

"You're seriously doing this?" Paul asked in an angry tone. Right, I'm a leech lover. Why can't he get over it?

"We are doing this. If you aren't aware already, I'm Alpha now. You do as I say," Jake hissed at him. I heard Paul let out a small whimper, possibly from the strength of Jake's voice. The boys let out small snickers.

"Guess we have to," Embry shrugged with a small grin.

"I'm not happy about this but hey, your orders," Jared said sarcastically. Wow, he must really not like me.

"Fine. If things go wrong, you are responsible for this Jacob," Sam said in a serious voice. Jake just rolled his eyes and stuck out his tongue.

"Alpha or not, you're still uptight," he joked. The whole pack let out laughs and I couldn't help but laugh myself.

"Where's the gang?" Jake asked.

"Yeah, can't say that I'm not curious to meet this Blake guy," Quil laughed.

"They're back there. I'll just go get them," I gave him a huge smile before going back to the others.

Audi and I will be safe. Jeremy gets to keep Audi. I won't have to leave Blake!

"So what happened?" Audi asked.

"We're going to be okay!" I shrieked. She let out a squeal and took me into a hug.

"Thank god," she sighed in relief. We were interrupted when Jeremy fake coughed.

"Ummm…. what the hell is going on?" Blake asked with scrunched up eyebrows.

"Nothing!" I exclaimed before placing a huge kiss on his lips. He returned the kiss willingly and pulled away with a dazed look on his face.

"Not that I didn't enjoy that," he smirked, "but what's up?"

I just shook my head and grinned up at him. "Come on! We're invited to the bonfire," I announced. I linked his fingers with mine and dragged him across the beach with Audi and Jeremy trailing behind us. "Hey guys!" I shouted to the Pack.

They all slowly turned around to face and the others. Some of their lips curled upwards, turning into smirks, while the others were still looking at me disapprovingly. Jake rolled his eyes.

"Jake!" Audi exclaimed. I thought she hated him.

"Good to see you again," he replied just as eagerly before taking her into a hug. I looked at them in confusion.

"Ahem," Jeremy fake coughed, causing Jake to set Audi back on the floor.

"When the hell did this happen? Last time I remember, you hated him," I asked Audi with a raised eyebrow.

"So I kind of looked through your phone for his number and then I gave him a call. We just came to an understanding," she smiled sheepishly.

"Yeah, what she said," Jake grinned.

"Right," I said sarcastically.

"So I'm assuming you're Blake," Jake asked Blake.

"And you're Jake," he replied in the same tone.

They had a staredown that lasted a few seconds before they erupted laughing. "Our names rhyme!" they both exclaimed. I couldn't help but smile at the way they were getting along.

"Oh wow you guys," Audi grumbled while she rolled her eyes.

"And this is Jeremy. Audi's boyfriend," I introduced as I walked over to him.

"Hey," the guys greeted in synchronization.

"At least someone had the decency to introduce me," Jeremy teased Audi. She just grinned up at him before pecking his lips.

I turned around and saw that Blake had been surrounded by every member of the pack. "Wow, I leave you for one second and you've already formed a mob," I joked, as I stood by his side.

"Blake Stone," Embry mused.

"Yeah, that's my name," Blake replied with confidence. I couldn't help but beam at him. He wasn't letting his confidence be ruined even though the guys are intimidating him.

"Wow, I can't believe that this is the guy that changed Bella's type in guys," Quil laughed loudly. I flushed a bright red and scowled at him.

"Shut up Quil," I muttered, slapping my forehead with my palm. Blake looked at me with curious eyes before his lips curled into a smirk.

"What exactly was her type?" he asked.

"Oh you're going to love this," Paul grinned. "Come take a seat," he gestured for Blake to sit on a log. Blake willingly followed him. Why does Paul hate me so?

"Blake!" I cried out in embarrassment.

"What?" he asked innocently.

All the guys sat by him before continuing on with embarrassing me. "What are they doing?" Audi asked as she and Jeremy bounded over to me.

"Embarrassing me," I groaned.

"Oh we've got to hear this," Jeremy smirked before pulling Audi along with him.

"Seriously?" I asked in disbelief.

At least they're getting along.

As I got closer to them, the first thing I heard was, "She used to like this guy that looked like he had sex hair all the time but get this, he's a virgin!" All the guys laughed and so did Blake. He was laughing so hard, tears were brimming his eyes.

"What the hell?" I shouted at them. Oh fuck.

"Come on Bells. You've got to admit. That was some funny shit!" Jake said in between laughs.

"I'm sorry but that was just way too funny," Blake laughed. Traitor.

I plopped down onto the sand with my arms crossed and a scowl fixed on my face.

"Dude, it was like the guy hardly took a shower at all. He smelled disgusting," Jared continued.

"And he was pale. Like pale," Paul emphasized the word.

"Seems to me like she had a thing for vampires," Blake commented with a grin.

It was silent for a while before everyone erupted into laughter. "Oh dude, you have no idea!" Quil boomed.

"Oh god, that was priceless," Sam chuckled, wiping away some of the tears that rolled off his eyes.

"Are you guys done yet?" I groaned, burying my face in my hands.

"We're just getting started," Paul smirked at me.

"Fuck you guys," I muttered, flipping them all off.

"You love us," Embry grinned as we waved away my offense.

They continued to embarrass me for what seemed like forever and Blake was happily participating. "I still don't think he takes showers." "His hair is like a freaking Chia Pet. He just sprays it with hairspray and it's like BAM!" "I think his muscles are fake." "His eyes were ugly."

"Okay! I think were done," I tried to save.

"Oh no you don't," Paul grabbed my arm and forced me back down.

"Shit," I cursed.

From a distance, I saw a woman running towards us. She has cropped, short hair and was obviously Quileute. She had a permanent scowl on her face as she walked towards us.

"What the hell is goin – " she cut herself off with her own squeal.

"Did Leah just fucking squeal?" Paul asked in disbelief.

Her eyes were on Blake. "You're Blake Stone!" she exclaimed happily.

"Hey," Blake waved awkwardly.

"I am your biggest fan!" she shouted at him. "Can I get an autograph?" she asked eagerly. All of the guys snickered.

"What the fuck Leah?" Jake laughed.

"The supposed cold hearted bitch turns into just like any other girl at the sight of Blake Stone," Quil joked as he snickered.

"Say that one more time," she growled at him with narrowed eyes. He whimpered and looked down at the down. With that, everyone laughed.

"I swear, this is the most fun I've had in weeks," Jared fell onto the sand, laughing.

"So you're a fan?" Blake asked Leah. She was looking at him with goo goo eyes and I couldn't help but feel a bit insecure. The girl was beautiful. She had curves in the right places and her eyes were gorgeous.

"A huge one," she rolled her eyes to emphasize her point. She handed him a paper and he set onto signing it. Seeing my distress, Audi walked over to me and sat by my side. "So are you still dating that one girl?" Leah suddenly asked. Bitch.

I coughed dramatically while Audi hissed. "Yeah, that one girl is me," I snapped at her with glaring eyes.

"That's right bitch. Stay away from my cousin and his girlfriend," Audi threatened. God Audi, I love you.

The guys laughed at Audi's bluntness.

"Right," Blake said awkwardly. "Here's your autograph," he handed Leah the autograph but she held onto his hand. He was trying to rip away his hand but she held onto him. "Can you let go?" he asked uncomfortably.

All I could see was red and I stood up to face her. Our height difference was comical but I looked just as fierce as her. "What the fuck is your problem?" I spat at her.

"Leah let go of Blake. He is Bella's," Jake ordered her.

"When the hell did you become Alpha?" she snapped at him.

"Today. So I suggest you let go," he growled. Her eyes widened and she found herself letting go unwillingly.

"What the fuck do all these guys see in you? First the bloodsucker and now him. You're not that great," she shot at me.

"Hey, don't talk to her like that," Blake defended as he sat next to me, wrapping his arm around my waist. I sighed and leaned on his shoulder.

"Whatever," she huffed before sitting on the other side of the bonfire.

"Thanks," I mumbled against Blake's chest.

"Don't mind her, kay?" he asked softly. I nodded against him.

"Hey sorry about Leah man! She's the official bitch of the Rez," Embry apologized before falling into a fit of laughter. The four of us sat there confused while the others joined in Embry's amusement. Soon enough, I got the joke and ended up laughing as well. Female dog. Bitch. Ha! Get it?

"I don't get it," Jeremy said.

"Neither do I," Audi added as she crossed her arms.

"Sorry guys. It's an inside joke," Paul replied.

"But apparently Bella gets it," Quil grinned.

"Yeah, but I didn't think it was possible," I told them.

"Nothing's impossible when it comes to us. You should know that by now," Sam chuckled.

"I guess I should," I smiled at all of them.

This time, they all smiled back. Even Jared and Paul had lost their previous hostility towards me.

"I still don't get it," Jeremy repeated.

"Join the club," both Blake and Audi muttered.

So...? How'd you guys like it?

I LOVE the interaction between the Pack and the guys. They mix well together, don't you think?

Like I said before, Blake and Bella will stay HUMAN. Sorry but, they won't be becoming vampires any time soon :D

Please, the story is almost at its end. Don't give up on it now!
