Chapter 29:
POV: Ren
Before I could ask him dad had called my school and pulled me out. Sighting that he was moving stations in the military and liked having his children close to him. They had no problem sending him the transcripts. Not that my family had much of a need for them, we could always forge them.
I have spent the last two weeks in bliss. Jake was spending his days learning what he needed to do to be a good Alpha for the pack. Coming home exhausted every night. I liked having him here. He gave my cabin a lot more life.
This cottage was my graduation present when I graduated high school my second time. I remember my parents presenting it to me. They wanted me to have a little house of my own. Honestly this is the first time that I have used it more than for sleepovers with Claire or Seth. I was actually living in this house. I was living in our house.
Dad had sent a moving crew to get all my things from my other house. They moved the majority of my stuff into this house. I was just so thankful that I had my clothing had gotten here. I filled the closet. Packing all of Jake's clothing into the dresser. I needed to go clothes shopping for him. He was in desperate need of dress shirts. Especially with the two weddings coming up soon.
Rachel had trusted Alice with getting a wedding dress for her. I was just doing one last vacuum of the living room before Alice came over to fit Rachel in her dress. Packing the vacuum into the closet I heard the door open.
Running into the main room I saw Jake standing in the doorway stripping his rain jacket off. Of course it was raining.
"You are not allowed to be here" I told him
"What why?" He asked.
"Because Rachel is coming over soon to try on her wedding dress" I reminded him
"Is it bad luck for the brother to see his sister in the dress now?" He asked. The corner of his mouth pulling up into a crooked smile. I loved that smile.
"Technically no. But since you all have a mind link if you see your sister in her dress you are not allowed to phase until after the wedding." I told him.
"Are you sure about that?" he teased.
"Yes." I told him
"There is nothing I can do to convince you otherwise?" He lifted me onto the kitchen counter. I let him stand between my legs.
"Nope. Nothing will convince me otherwise" I told him a huge smile on my face.
He kissed my neck. "Nope nothing" I told him again.
He pulled me closer to him. "Nope." I shook my head.
He growled into my ear I shivered. It was so sexy when he growled. "Fine" I said breathlessly.
"I knew I could convince you" his husky voice said in my ear. I shivered. I kissed him hard on the mouth.
The kiss did not last as long as I wanted it to. I pushed him away when I heard the rocks on the gravel driveway move. "What?" he questioned. Aunty Alice came running into the house moments later. Jake smiled at me understanding.
"Hey Aunty Alice" I said. Hopping down from the counter.
"Hey my love" Alice said coming over and hugging me. "I just talked to Rachel she is on her way. You need to leave" she pointed at Jake.
"Of course I will leave Alice" Jake said "I would not want Paul seeing the dress in my mind" he winked.
Rachel came walking in a minute later Paul in tow.
"Wait Paul is allowed to be here?" Jake looked at me for an explanation. I just shrugged.
"No Jacob. Paul is not staying." Rachel said. Kissing both Jacob and Me on our cheeks.
"I am staying." Paul commented.
"These wolf boys are so stubborn" Rachel said looking at me.
"Oh I am learning that" I laughed.
Rachel was not showing her bump yet. But by the way Paul was acting you would have thought that she was ready to pop.
"Jake babe, why don't you and Paul go help Quil?" I asked.
"What does Quil need help with?" Jake asked.
"Something I can not say in front of the bride. I just got a text please go get the issue sorted" I smiled. Paul walked over and kissed Rachel. Jake kissed me and they both left. I locked the door behind them.
"What does Quil need?" Rachel looked at me concerned.
"Nothing. Him and Claire are currently on a date in Fort Angelas. They will search for him for a while. Also I locked the door so they won't be seeing you in your dress before the wedding" I told her.
She smiled "I am so happy you are now my sister. I always wanted a little sister. Mom gave us Jacob instead" We hugged. I knew not having her mother at her wedding was hurting Rachel. Paul had stepped up and did everything a mother would do but, it was not the same.
Alice put her in the dress. She looked like a princess. The Aline dress hit her curves in all the right places. She was so pretty!
"Soon this will be you" Rachel teased.
"I guess I have not thought about that" I told them.
"Well I have. I have a dress for you already hanging in my closet" Aunty Alice told me. This did not surprise me.
The boys pounded on the door.
Alice quickly got Rachel out of her dress and zipped it in the bag. I tossed her clothing at her. Rachel was laughing hysterically it took her longer to get dressed. The second she was dressed I opened the door.
An angry Paul walked in "did you know that Quil is on a date with Claire right now?" he asked me.
"What. No." I told him "I am sorry that must have been a wild goose chase."
Rachel laughed "Well I am done with the last dress fitting."
They left hand in hand. Rachel winked at me on the way out. Aunty Alice said "well I have to make some alterations. I love you kiddo" she hugged me before walking out.
Jake pulled me to the couch. I rested on top of him. I could not make eye contact with him.
"You wanted me to spend quality time with Paul?" he accused. I did not look at him. "Is this because Rachel told you she was worried that we were not friends?"
"Maybe" I whispered.
He laughed. "I love you" he kissed me "do not ever make me spend that much time alone with Paul again."
I kissed him "It was not as bad as you are thinking." I accused
"It was. He talked about her menstrual cycle." Jake looked traumatized
"I hope she has a regular one" I laughed.
"Stop I am not going to talk about my sisters menstrual cycle again" Jake kissed me to stop my sassy remark.
I laughed. "Fine you are right I am sorry. Next time I will rope Seth into going as well."
"Manipulative!" Jacob tickled me.
I slipped out of his hold. I laughed. "Catch me if you can sucker." I ran out the cottage door. The pine needles snapped beneath my bare feet.
Not really looking where I was going. I ran into the woods. I heard Jacob in wolf form catching up to me. I took a risky move and jumped over the river early. I caught some good air. Landing just short of the riverbank. Drenching my pants to the knees. Scrambling quickly I got out of the river. Risking one look back at Jacob who was just starting his jump. I climbed up into a tree. Jumping from branch to branch. I heard him growl. I giggled. Jumping I ran on the lawn past the main house. Oh I did not think he would let me get this far. Mom came running out of the house. Oh cool she is joining the game! I continued to run faster pushing my legs harder. I felt a pain in my side. Ouch. What the heck is that.
"Not my daughter" I heard my mom yell.
What is happening. I turned faster than I was prepared to do. I twisted my ankle and hit the dirt. Spinning out. I stopped spinning when I hit something warm. Tears sprung to my eyes. I wish I did not have this human reaction. It always made people think I was more hurt than I was.
I looked at the warm thing I hit. Of course it was Seth. He was not focused on me. He seemed to be trying to block me from something. I stood on my feet. Ankle giving out I fell leaning against Seth. "I think I twisted my Ankle" I told him. Seth leaned down I climbed on top of him trying to not move my ankle.
Looking at the scene in front of me I saw as my dad holding my mom back. Where is Jake. My side hurt only as a nagging pain now. Still enough for me to wonder what the heck happened. It hurt before I hit the dirt. Weird.
Jake came walking out of the woods towards my parents. He was in his human form with his jeans on. As he walked you could tell his ankle was bugging him. Oh no did he twist his ankle too! Great now we are both injured.
"Bella what is going on?" Jake asked. He made eye contact with me. I could tell he did not like being so far away from me. I did not like it either.
"You where hunting her!" My mom yelled. Crouching to attack.
