The Alpha Female
Chapter 11
A week had passed and things had gone back to normal somewhat for Bella. She spent most of her free time with Jacob on the Reservation, and other times with Angela. The two girls had grown close again and were hanging out again whenever they could. Bella was back in her original group of friends at school and having fun with them now that she didn't have Edward as a crutch anymore to keep her from them. Of course now that she was single again, Mike was making it his mission to get Bella to go on a date with him, no matter how many times Tyler would tell him it was futile. Since becoming the Alpha Female she had acquired more of a backbone and had told Lauren off more than once that week when she tried to come for her. It honestly felt good and she was definitely embracing this newfound courage of hers. And furthermore neither Edward nor Alice had tried to approach her whenever she passed by them. It made her believe that they had taken her breaking off her relationship with the vampire seriously and that they were leaving her be. And because of assuming that, she was caught off guard when Alice suddenly approached her.
She was walking to her truck after school when Alice walked up behind her and said, "Bella."
The brunette jumped a little before turning around saying, "Alice."
The pixie like vampire looked at Bella with a sad expression and said, "Bella, you never come around anymore. I miss you, we all do. Especially Edward misses you and he's very hurt that you broke up with him."
Bella sighed before saying, "Alice, I'm not getting back together with Edward. So if that is the reason you approached me, you can kindly leave. I told him that he could kiss my ass for all I care and I'm not above telling you the same if you keep bothering me about Edward."
Alice looked aghast at Bella's words before saying, "Bella! I'm surprised at you! Edward loves you and I know you still love him. You two were made for each other."
"We really weren't, and I'm surprised it took me so long to realize that."
"But Bella-"
"Look Alice, unless you have something super important to tell me, I'm going home." Bella wasn't completely meaning to be so cross with Alice, but her skin was beginning to crawl with being in such close proximity to the vampire and she was afraid her body would react to her presence, causing her to half-phase for all the school to see. She still didn't have great control over her Alpha Female transformations and didn't want to lose it here.
Alice frowned before saying, "Edward will be coming over to your house later this evening. He wants to talk to you since you won't speak to him or answer any of his calls."
Bella rolled her eyes and walked to the driver's side of her truck saying, "Tell him don't bother. I'm not nor ever getting back together with Edward."
"Bella-"
"Bye Alice." Bella climbed into her truck and shut the door, starting up the red beast and driving away from the school, leaving Alice standing behind. Looking into her rearview mirror she saw Edward walking over towards Alice to obviously talk to her about their conversation. She looked at herself briefly and saw her eyes had brightened and grown larger during her time talking with Alice. Shaking her head she whispered, "It's for the best."
Billy sat in his living room looking out his window deep in thought. He had come back from speaking with the Council about an hour ago to try to get them to agree to tell Charlie about Bella and the Pack. However they were adamant about him not knowing, saying an outsider and paleface couldn't be informed of their tribal secrets. Even when he had brought up the fact that Bella had known, even before becoming the Alpha Female, they still refused. But being the tribe chief he believed his best friend had a right to know what was going on, especially now that his daughter was more than involved.
The door opened and Jacob walked inside, the Shifter greeting, "Hey dad."
"Hi son. How was patrolling?" Billy asked rolling over to him.
"It was alright, nothing new to report. We're still trying to track that redheaded vamp and we think we've picked up an extra scent mixed with hers."
"Hmm, that may not be good."
"Maybe, but we're going to keep a lookout. I'm just stopping by for something to eat before I go back out."
Billy nodded and watched Jacob walk into the kitchen and get out ingredients to make a sandwich. As he did he said, "Jake, I think I'm going to tell Charlie about Bella."
Jacob nearly dropped the mayonnaise as he looked back at his father and asked, "Are you sure?"
"Yes, I'm sure. He has a right to know about her. And not just her, but everything as well. I don't want to hide anything from him anymore. The guilt is beginning to eat at me."
"Is the Council okay with this?"
"Of course not, but Charlie has a right to know about what's going on with Bella."
Jacob finished making his sandwich before taking a bite out of it. He chewed and swallowed his bite before saying, "He's not going to believe you."
Nodding Billy replied, "I know, but it doesn't hurt to try. I'll go over there this evening and tell him."
"I'm going too."
"I know, I wouldn't expect anything less."
Father and son grinned at each other before Jacob turned to make another sandwich. They both knew it was a risk they were taking telling Charlie, but things never got done without a little risk.
Later that evening Bella was finishing up dinner when there was a knock on the door. Thinking it was the Blacks since Jacob had texted her to let her know they were coming, she left the kitchen and went to answer the door. She opened it with a smile, only for it to fall when she came face to face with Edward.
"Bella," Edward said reaching out to touch her, only for his hand to be caught in a bone crushing grip by the brunette.
Scowling at him Bella said, "I thought I told Alice to tell you to not bother coming here. I have nothing more to say to you."
Edward pried his hand from Bella's before walking past her into her home, ignoring her incredulous expression as he did so. As she closed the door he said, "I had to come see you, love. I can't get in touch with you any way else."
"Did you perhaps think that's because I don't want anything more to do with you? What part of 'kiss my ass' did you not get?"
"Bella, don't talk like that. Now stop this foolishness. I've given you a week and I know you aren't really upset with me, nor did you really mean to break it off with me. Now come love, let us talk things out."
Bella crossed her arms and said, "Edward, I don't know how else I can say this, but I'm going to be as blunt as possible right now. I. Don't. Want. You. We're never, never, getting back together again. I was a fool to do so the first time and I won't make that same mistake. Now get out of my house, piss off, and never come back."
Edward looked at Bella with an unreadable expression and was about to speak again when a voice said, "You heard her. Get out of my house and don't come back."
Turning Edward saw Charlie standing behind him with his own arms crossed, a glare on his face. Edward looked back at Bella to see her opening the door and beckoning him to leave. He was about to step out when he noticed that Jacob and Billy Black had arrived and were making their way to the front door. He could hear the dog's thoughts of hatred towards him, his thoughts seemingly paralleling his love's attitude. He needed to prove to the dog that Bella was his, and no Quileute curse was going to ruin that.
Stepping outside he grabbed Bella and pulled her close to him, causing her to yelp in surprise before pushing against him. As she did he said, "Bella, stop this foolishness already. I love you and you love me."
"Edward stop it! Let go of me!" Bella cried as she pushed against her ex, her skin burning through her clothes from his touch. Around her she could hear Charlie, Billy, and Jacob telling Edward to let her go, Charlie trying to pull him off of her while Jacob was making his way towards her. Just as she looked up to tell Edward to let her go again, he dropped his head and pressed his cold lips forcefully against hers. A pain filled scream rose up in her throat as her lips and the area around her mouth burned and sizzled. Not even caring now, Bella half-phased where she was and pulled away from Edward and yelled with a loud growl in her voice, "I SAID 'LET GO'!"
Planting her clawed hands on his shoulders, she shoved him back forcefully away from her, causing him to fly off of the porch and all the way into his stupid silver Volvo. She watched him crash into it and completely ruin the passenger side, all of the windows breaking as it fell over on its side. Stepping off of the porch she stalked towards Edward, ready to rip him an entire new asshole, only for Jacob to grab her and hold her back.
"GET OUT! LEAVE! LEAVE AND DON'T COME BACK!" Bella continued to yell with the growl in her voice. She watched Edward give her a horrified look before getting up from his ruined car. He glanced behind her momentarily before turning and running off at vampire speed.
Bella panted as Jacob held her before finally getting her breathing back under control. When she did she looked up at Jacob who was looking at her with an awed yet troubled expression on his face. She looked around him to see Charlie standing with a confused and incredulous look on his face, his brown eyes wide as he stared at her. It was obvious he was in a state of shock from what he had witnessed and didn't seem to hear Billy trying to talk to him.
Realizing what she had done, tears filled her eyes and she looked back up at Jacob. Tears spilling over she said softly, "I'm sorry, Jake."
Jacob wrapped his arms around her in a hug and held her close, softly replying, "It's alright, honey. It's okay."
He knew she was feeling guilty for accidently exposing herself and the leech to her father, but luckily that was why he and his father were here. However right now, he was more concerned about Bella and how what had just transpired affected her. But he knew now he was going to have to tell the rest of the Pack what had happened. Once Bella was calmed down, he excused himself briefly into the woods to phase, preparing himself for the Pack's reactions.
