A/N: I'm sooo sorry!! This is wicked wicked late and I have a sorry excuse. School? Life? Work? Take your pick, because that's basically my excuse. Oh and the fact that I'm sick right now, and still posting up this chapter should earn me some brownie points. :)

Anyway, I want to dedicate this chapter to CoraCullen22 for like basically reminding me to get back on track with this story. So thanks!!

Werewolves?!

BPOV

I hate lying to Edward. I really do. But what was I supposed to say? 'Oh, I can't go down to La Push because our family has a treaty with them.' That would just lead to more questions, and eventually we'd have to expose our dear, werewolves to Edward. Not that I wouldn't mind doing that... but the last time we were here, they were kind enough not to bother us. So, I shouldn't be trying to find ways to get back at them, I guess...

I hate werewolves. They smell. They're so cocky. Well, the old one, Ephraim Black seemed nice to me. The young ones always seem so... confident. I think that's why they get on my nerves. Don't forget to mention the fact that Alice can't actually see the future with werewolves around. So, going to La Push wasn't going to happen.

And neither the camping bit either. We've just gone on a big hunting trip before school started so we would be fine. No one else wanted to go, so now we're just sitting around the house, waiting for the "right" time to be home from our little hunting trip. Would Edward be mad if he found out I lied to him?

I don't think so. I don't think he will ever find out the reason until it's necessary to tell him.

"Bellaaa!" Alice calls from down stairs.

"Yes, Alice?"

"Edward can see you now." She smiles and I bolt out of the house towards his. Then I realize it would be easier if I bring my car so I wouldn't have to lie anymore to his parents. I run to the garage and hop in to my unused Honda. She purrs to life and I smile, it's still good.

As I pull in to Edward's garage I can hear his heart beat faster. I guess he was on the look out for me. I open my door and before I could knock on the door it opens. Edward smiles big.

"Bella!" He pulls me in to a hug. I chuckle as I wrap my arms around his waist.

"Hello, darling. How are you?"

"Better, now." He kisses the top of my head. "I missed you."

"I missed you too, love." I say and stand on my toes to kiss him. He leans down to close the gap. Our lips crash together and we kiss passionately, then I hear Edward's mother's thoughts. I quickly pull away and bite my lip in embarrassment. She's already had these thoughts about us.

I look around Edward and smile at Elizabeth. She blushes and smiles back before turning back in to the kitchen. I take Edward's hand and we walk up to his bedroom. When I walk in a huge scent crashes in to my nose. My nose scrunches up involuntarily. I don't have to think to know what it is.

"Who was at the party?" I ask as Edward pulls me on to the bed with him.

"Shane, Tyler, Conner, Ben, Angela, Lauren, Mike, Jessica, and a few other people." He rattles off the names and then his eyes go wide. "Oh, and there were a few guys from the reservation that stopped by at the party..."

I don't need to read his mind to know what happened. They must have smelled me on him. "What happened?" I ask, my voice getting stern.

"Nothing, really. Nothing too drastic."

"Edward, what happened?" I turn and look in to his eyes. He looks down and blushes.

"The guys... they warned me about you." I feel my whole body go rigid. How dare they! What if Edward had no idea about my family being a vampire? They would have broke the treaty about not exposing us!

"Ugh, stupid dogs. They just don't know when to mind their own business." I hiss out. Edward looks at me confused.

"Dogs?" I shake my head.

"Here's not the best place to explain. I need to take you to my house." Edward nods and we dash out to my car. Elizabeth doesn't even notice that we left. I drive quickly to the car and by the time I get to my house, Alice and the rest of my family are waiting in the living room for us. Thank you Alice.

No problem. She replies in my head.

"Those stupid mongrels." Rosalie growls as we sit down on the couch.

"Hold up. I haven't explained to Edward why I'm so angry right now. Carlisle, can you please explain to Edward about the treaty?" Carlisle nods and stands in the center of the room. He takes a deep breath, trying to waste time to think of the right thing to say.

"Edward, you know that you don't live in a world of mortals and what is fiction can be real."

"Yes." He says and takes my hand.

"Well, vampires aren't the only thing that exist among you humans. Let me take you back a few decades ago." Carlisle starts off. He goes on to tell Edward the story on how we stumbled across a pack of werewolves.

"Werewolves?!" Edward interrupts. "How? Don't they need the full moon and- and-"

"Edward, you should know about myths by now." Alice points out. Edward blushes in embarrassment.

"Anyway, getting back on track. We explained to them that we aren't the Cold Ones that they've met in the past. We are different." He continues on to talk about how the treaty was made and what were the specifics of it. "If we go so far as to bite another human, then the treaty is off and it's a full blown war."

Edward freezes up. "So, then... that means that I won't become one of you?"

"Screw the treaty. Screw the wolves. I can take them single-handedly." Emmett boasts.

"But what does that have to do with the guys that I met on the beach? I don't understand."

"Edward. Those guys knew that we were vampires because they are the descendants of the wolves we met decades ago. They are werewolves." I see him shiver. "And they can be very dangerous."

Edward nods, "There was this one guy, I think his name was Paul, he was shaking an awful lot. Sam, the leader I assumed, kept calming him down. It didn't make sense then, but now... They're really 'werewolves'?" Edward shakes his head.

I guess this is a lot to take in. Carlisle nods. "Yes, they are really werewolves."

Edward nods. "Wow. So are there any wizards I need to be on a look out for, too? Is there really a Hogwarts?" Emmett bursts out laughing at Edward's rhetorical question. I chuckle along. He always knows the right thing to say to lessen the tension.

The doorbell rings and we all look at Alice. She shrugs her shoulders and they all look at me. I close my eyes to see if I can hear who's at the door.

Filthy bloodsuckers. Why are we here anyway? It's not like that kid hasn't said anything to them. I hear someone whine in their head. He sounds so smug. Ugh, just the type of wolf I hate.

I roll my eyes. "The wolves decided to cross the line today."

"Sweet, we can take them right?" Emmett smiles. Carlisle shakes his head.

"No, Emmett. I'm sure there's a reason why they did this. I'll go answer the door. Bella, why don't you come along with me so we can keep tabs on what they're thinking?" Carlisle places on his welcoming facade as I stand up to follow him. Edward looks a little frightened but I reassure him before walking out of the room.

When we open the door I see four young boys. The odor that they give off causes my nose to scrunch again, just like it did in Edward's room. They cringe at our scent as well.

"Hello. What brings you boys here?" Carlisle asks warmly. I envy his compassionate composure. The leader steps forward.

"We're here to remind you of our treaty."

"It's still intact, I assume." Carlisle responds. I see one of the boys start to shake with anger. Paul...

"Paul, if you can't handle being near us, I suggest you take a walk off our property. I don't want anything to happen here." I say with a smile, trying to match Carlisle's tone. He growls at me, which causes me to involuntarily growl back at him. Emmett comes up behind me.

"Something the matter?" he asks and I shake my head. "Is this dog being a nuisance?"

"Emmett, it's okay." I reassure him.

"Oh, so the girl is the one who's going to hold you back, leech?" Paul asks with a smirk on his face.

"Paul!" The leader shoots a glare at him. The two other boys try to pull Paul back.

"I don't want to do anything that isn't safe for my family. So if she says to not attack, I won't. But the minute she gives me the word, mongrel, I will kill you." That remark causes the two boys that is holding Paul back to growl. I glare at Emmett. Not helping!

Sorry sis. He thinks and I roll my eyes. The leader looks back at us.

"We're just going to warn you, that once word reaches us that he's 'dead', we're going to come after you. The treaty will be off and we'll be in war."

"I understand." Carlisle says with a smile. They glare at us before taking off in to the woods.

When we hear them disappear in the distance we turn to go back towards where my family is staying. Alice gives me an annoyed look when we walk back in to the living room. She doesn't like it when she can't "see".

"God, I wish these dogs wouldn't be so up in our grill!" Emmett plops down next to Rosalie.

"Emmett, I think you were 'up in' Paul's." I say, taking a seat next to Edward. He doesn't look up from his lap.

"I'm sorry." He says softly. I lift his chin up so I can look in to his eyes. It's frustrating not being able to hear his thoughts.

"For what, love?"

"Putting your family in danger. It's all my fault. If I handn't of gone down to La Push..." I silence him with my finger on his lips.

"Stop. It's not your fault. They were bound to come up anyway. I knew they would find out we were back..." But why so many of them? Carlisle's thoughts cut off my sentance. I look up to meet his eyes. He knows I heard him.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I ask, so others can know what we're talking about.

Carlisle shrugs, "There were only three when we were here last time. Now four? There's probably more..." Carlisle muses. He takes out one of his big "myth" books and start flipping through it for the section we're all wondering about.

Werewolves. Shapeshifters? I look at Carlisle again. It says here, that there is a tribe that had magical powers, the ablility to go in to the "Spirit World" and control the elements of the Earth and life. It went so far that they started to take on the form of wolves... Wolfmen.

"Wolfmen?" I ask, voicing Carlisle's thoughts.

"Yes, wolfmen, werewolves... in a sense. They're just shapeshifters. Perhaps that's why there's more than there was back then. Whenever there's a vampire in the vicinity there's a new 'werewolf' that changes. Since we had so many vampires around here in the past few weeks..."

"There's more werewolves. But once they go away, do they still change?" Carlisle looks down at his book and shrugs.

"I don't know. Only time will tell." I bite my lip and look over at Edward, who's still sulking.

"Love, it's okay. Nothing will happen to us." He looks apprehensive but smiles.

"If you say so."

"I know so."

"Yeah, I wish I knew." Alice says with a frown. I roll my eyes and throw a pillow at her. Not helping. She laughs as she blocks the pillow, causing it to open. Feathers fly throughout the room and Emmett's booming laughter fills the room.

There can never be a serious moment in this house... can there?
