The energy shifted as Paul tensed. He let out a feral growl.

"oh, now that you're not getting your way, you finally have something to say!?"

The pack stayed bowed low, fear running through them. no one would be stupid enough to question the new Alpha.

Of course, everyone but Jacob.

"This has nothing to do with me! but I refuse to accept you as my Alpha! I won't submit to you! You're the tribe man whore! Your lazy, hot-tempered, and unreliable! You're not worth the dirt beneath my feet Lahote!" Jacob then spat and glared at the newly appointed Alpha.

To Jacobs irritation, Paul began to laugh. A dark sickening Laugh.

"What the first ass-whooping, I gave you wasn't enough for you boy!?"

"ill kick your ass right here right now Lahote!" Jacob bellowed.

"Jake! What are you doing!" Quill intervened.

"stay out of this quill!" Jacob shouted.

Paul shook his head. He was angry, tired, and hungry. But he was also running on adrenaline. He was now the Alpha. The true Alpha and nothing could stop him.

With lightning-like reflexes, Paul launched for Jacob.

"I WILL BREAK YOUR BONES BOY! DON'T MAKE ME BREAK YOUR BONES! ONE BY ONE I WILL DO IT! NOW SUBMIT!" Paul roared.

"I won't submit to you!" Jacob shouted.

And just like he promised, Paul broke one of Jacob's bones.

"Submit!"

"no!"

Another bone broken.

"That's two arms, Jacob! submit!"

"NO!"

Paul roared. Looks like he needed to make this a command.

"Jacob Ephraim black! You will submit to me! AS your rightful Alpha! I will not take NO for an answer! Now submit!"

Paul felt Electricity run through him. The power and weight of the Alpha order was like a chain around Jacob's neck.

"submit. Jacob. Say it!"

"I…I…I submit." Jacob caved.

Paul released the young wolf and stood. Eyes glowing yellow and feral. No one in the pack moved.

"Don't move Jacob until he is fully healed. No need for him to go home with broken arms. BE back here at sundown tomorrow. WE WILL MEET WITH THE CULLENS. Go forth with your regular patrols. Sam, DO NOT GO BACK TO EMILY'S."

With that said, Paul left his pack and went to gather his mate.

…

Bella watched the dark forest. Anxiety and anticipation radiated off of her. She knew something happened. She, Billy, and Rachel felt the shift in the Atmosphere but only she and Billy knew what was going on.

"Bella, come on in dear. You and those babies will catch a cold. You know twins run in the family." Billy called

Bella ignored the joke and turned to Billy with a serious look on her face.

"Billy, did you know?"

"know what honey?" he asked

"Did you know that it was Paul's mother you slept with? I mean...did you know her…?"

Billy sighed.

"Growing up as Future chief, I had to know every name and family in the tribe. Yes, I knew of Tawny lahote, but I had never spent time with her. Her face was hazy when we met at the party. I only remembered her eyes. So, the night of the party…I was just so drunk and once again, I awoke alone in the motel room. So no, I didn't know. And no, I didn't secretly know that Paul was my son. I wasn't focused on how I got in the motel room or who took me there, I was focused on my future wife, pregnant at home with soon to be twin daughters. And there was no way, I would have connected the dots between Tawny and myself, she was engaged to someone else and had moved to Tacoma. That was all I knew. But when Paul walked in today…and told me the truth…I just knew. Does that make sense?"

Bella stood up. She knew Paul was near.

"no, Billy, it doesn't. Because whether you like it or not, you have three children who are going to find out that they have a brother and they will know that you cheated on their mother, intentionally or not. It doesn't matter. And now your going to be a grandpa to grandchildren you didn't even know were related to you. Don't you know the drama that will become of this? Don't you know how your daughters will feel? They haven't even had children or gotten married in a way in which their families will celebrate. No instead they have to watch you fawn over a son and grandchildren that they didn't know you had. This is just a lot for All of us to take in. and what about Jacob? This is going to kill him. That Paul is his older brother and now the girl he fell in love with is married to that said brother and having his kids? It's just too much…"

Billy was going to say something but froze when Yellow eyes peeked out from the forest.

Walking out of the forest, butt naked was Paul. His eyes glowed yellow and soft growls were heard.

"Paul?" Bella called.

"Come." He growled.

Billy watched them go, as his head fell into his hands. He needed to tell his children and soon.

…

The next day:

Bella bit her fingernails as she sat in her truck.

I can't do this. I can't do this… she thought. They're all going to stare at me and as soon as they see me the rumors are going to start! And I still have to put in the paperwork that my last name is changed. Oh my gosh! I can't do this! I can't…

Two kicks from her stomach took Bella out of her panic-induced thoughts.

"you guys are right…. I can do this… who cares what people think? I love your daddy and that's all that matters."

With that said, as soon as she stepped out of her truck Bella was ambushed by Emmett.

"hey, little sis. How are my niece and nephew?"

Bella let out a nervous chuckle as Emmett rubbed her protruding stomach.

"were fine. Just nervous. Hey, what are you doing here? I thought you, jasper and Paul were planning strategy?" she asked

"oh, don't worry we already did that. Paul went to work, jaspers finalizing some details and I'm on guard duty. Seth is out there in the forest. now, what's keeping you? Your going to be late…"

"I'm just nervous Em. You know how people like to Gossip…"

"oh, baby bell. Don't worry about what people think. You and Paul don't owe anyone an explanation. Now let's get in there and finish that semester. WE only have two months left of school. I think we can get through it."

Bella smiled.

"your right Em. Let's go…I'm ready for this day to be over with."

…..

"Carlsile! Carlisle!" Alice shouted even though she didn't have to.

"Alice! What is it?! And for heaven's sake don't shout in the hospital."

The Vampire doctor had jumped up from his paperwork as Alice burst into his hospital office.

With everything going on, he was trying to keep up appearances, but he knew he probably have to put in some of his unused vacation days.

"its Edward! He's leaving! I can't see where he's going! He keeps changing his mind. He followed Irina!"

"ok, Alice breathe. There's nothing we can do about Irina or Edward. I'm sure hell return for the battle. You just focus on the army…"

"But Carlisle! I have an awfully bad feeling about this! Please we have too- "

"Alice!" Carlisle hissed. It was loud enough for Vampire's ears but low enough to where humans couldn't hear him.

"I don't have time to keep chasing after Edward every time he has a tantrum. That's exactly what he wants. WE have a war on our hands and many lives will be lost if we do not focus! Now please…leave my office. ill see you at home within an hour."

If Alice could cry, she surely would have but instead, she walked out of his office at a human pace, lost in her own visions of the unforeseeable future.

….

Some unknown location:

Red eyes stared down at Edward and Irina

A pale hand held Edward's tightly. Almost tasting the thoughts that ran through the hundred and seventeen's years old mind.

"my, my, my, such…chaos…. tell me young Edward…...what do you hope to get out of this?"

"I wish to turn my mate as required by our laws. Her confusion for those…dogs…have caused me such…grief."

"I see… brothers…we must confer! It looks like we may be making an …early trip to forks!"

….

Paul typed on the computer in earnest, with everything going on, he had become backed up on orders. He also had multiple requests for him to fix things, so that meant he needed to print out more contracts.

He was just about to make a few phone calls when he smelled it.

The sickening stench of Vampire.

A cold one was in his store.

Paul closed his eyes. He'd really hate to have to tear up his own hardware store and office before his wife got to see it.

"I know you're here." He said aloud.

"well at least I know you're as dumb as people think…"

Paul opened his eyes to see a red-eyed vampire standing before him.

"you must want to die leech." He said. Paul sat back and smiled. He wolf was itching for a fight and he liked playing with his prey.

"well, I think you'll let me stay alive for a while…especially when it pertains…to Isabella swan…"
