"You lying piece of trash!" Jacob roared as he launched himslef at Paul. However, the New Alpha was ready for the younger man's angry attack. With ease, he had the boy in a headlock.

"I know your angry Jacob and you have every right to be however you won't take that anger on me . Do you understand? I suggest you go to our father and confront him before I have to hurt you…" He threated.

"I will never be related to you! You filthy-"

"Jacob black, you will go to our father and find out the truth! Now!"

Paul had given Jacob a direct order and he could not disobey.

….

Leah stared out at the water in front of the lahote house.

By now, She and Bella had eaten and were sitting in a surprisingly comfortable silence.

"I understand why you won't let Sam mark you Leah." Bella whispered to her.

The she wolf made no motion that she was she listening. Bella however, continued speaking.

"And I'm not mad at you for standing your ground. Because you don't trust Sam, actually you don't trust any man and you have a hard time with authority figures especially with the way your father treats you. I mean on the outside your father shows love and care, but I know Leah clearwater that he has had moments where he's shown what he really thinks of you, hasn't he. He's disappointed in you and In truth he's angry you phased. Not because you're a girl but because you're the oldest and he wanted you married to a nice strong man , having babies and make the clearwater name proud, isn't that right? And don't get me started on your mother she wanted you to be exactly like Emily. A quiet little housewife who bakes pies and stays inside her house right? But no, not Leah clearwater. Before you even phased you were strong and hot headed. The phase just excelled it and that irritates your mother, she wanted an Emily copy but that's not who you are Leah. Your strong, beautiful, and brave and so damn creative. Don't pretend, I haven't some of the bracelets you've designed and the photos you've taken. You could go to school for photography, hell you could even help Paul with his jewelry business by taking photos. But anyway, I digress. Leah you have spent way too long allowing other people to control your life . you finally have a choice and just between you and me…you can mark sam."

That had Leah's attention.

"what?"

"you heard me but for your benefit, ill say it Again. You can mark sam. See, I've been doing some research and some thinking. You're the only female wolf , so that in turn other than myself makes you an alpha female. Which also gives you some power and that power includes you being able to mark sam. So, its up to you Leah. Make your choice…"

…..

Jacob burst into his home, only to find his father sitting at the dinner table.

He sniffed the air and caught a scent he had not smelt in years.

"Rebecca's here? Why?" he snarled.

His father shrugged his shoulders.

"I could care less about that right now but let me guess Paul told you the truth and took over as Alpha. Is that what has you so pissed?"

Jacob's eyes widen in shock.

"wait ...y- you…he.. he was telling…you cant mean…no. No! No!" Jacob roared.

"Jacob-"

"NO! YOU DONT GET TO SIT THERE AND TELL ME MORE LIES! HOW COULD YOU!? YOU CHEATED ON MY MOTHER! THIS IS ALL YOUR FAULT! I HATE YOU!"

Jacob then bolted out the door. Billy's pleas falling on deaf ears.

…

Paul smiled as an odd peace fell on his pack. Embry and quill were arm wrestling. Jared and Seth were playing a game of chess, while next to them Ramon, Collin and brady were stuffing their faces.

To his surprise, none of the pack had given a visual reaction to Jacob and himslef being related.

All it took was Embry saying something so simple.

" It actually makes sense and explains a lot. Besides…our wolves are more content with you as alpha. No offense Sam."

Paul shook his head and chuckled. But his eyes narrowed as he took in his mate and Leah. They were coming in from the front porch, laughing all the way.

As much as he was loving the playful and peaceful atmosphere, they needed to get to business.

"Alright everyone. We have some things to discuss. The first thing is as we are coming upon the meeting with the cold ones, everyone will need to keep their cool. There will be more leeches then normal and a majority of them will be red eyes. But that's not the point. The point is the sooner we work with these leeches the sooner we can get rid of the red head and then we can have our lives back. The second thing is yes, Jacob and I are brothers. We share the same father and have different mothers but that doesn't change anything. He is still a member of this pack despite his emotional outburst. And then as you all have seen, my mate is pregnant with the packs first set of cubs. So, you all will need to be a bit more careful around her and also everyone will be assigned a different duty of chores every time we have a gathering. Bella and I are not your maids, so clean up after yourselves. And lastly, it's time for me to choose my beta. And for that I chose, Embry call if he wants it..."

All eyes turned to Embry who looked beyond shocked.

"I...I … uh…sure." He whispered.

Paul's eyes shone bright yellow as he heard Embry's agreement.

"come." He ordered

Embry approached him.

"kneel." He ordered

Embry did as told.

Paul then placed two hands on the side of Embry's head.

"Embry Call, I call forth the Spirits of our ancestors as witnesses! I call them forth to witness that you are now my Beta. My second in command. Embry call I trust the lives of my mate, my pups the tribe and this pack to you when I cannot! This is a gift! A privilege! Not a right! Do not take it lightly! This power is given to you here and now!"

Bella gasped and grabbed on to Leah as she could literally feel the power transmitting from Paul to Embry.

It was like a shift and when Embry rose from the ground, right before their eyes, he had grown half as tall as Paul.

It was amazing.

The shock and awe was broken by the shrill ring of Bella's cellphone.

Without looking, she was quick to answer.

"Hello?"

"Bella! its Billy! I-I told Jacob the truth and he ran off! Bella I…I don't think he's coming back!"

And of course, the pack had heard every word.

And at the same time, Pauls watch went off.

The meeting was going to start soon.

"Alright. Here's what's going to happen. Quill you're going to locate Jacob. Do not approach him just know his general whereabouts. Seth and Ramon, you will stay here and guard my mate. The rest of you minus Sam, will Phase. Sam, you can stay in the guest room. Everyone one else, PHASE!"...

Tanya groaned as the foul scent of wet dog assaulted her .

"Arrggh! Carlisle how do you deal with the stench and especially with so many at once. I mean I thought that one dog was bad..."

"Tanya! Be polite. The Alpha only has so much patience. Just please…" Carlisle hissed as he watched the pack approach from the forest. It was dark and the moon was high, casting shadows on the approaching supernatural creatures.

Some of the mated couples stood closer togather while many of the nomads got into defensive positions. Seeing just how big the wolves where was intimidating.

"Thank you for joining us tonight. We know that we all face a common enemy and tonight, we will learn how to fight them. However, since Jasper has more experience dealing with them, he will take over from here."

"How do you expect us to train with these mutts, especially since we cannot speak to them Carlisle!?" Henri hissed

"well, if you simply had asked, one of us would have phased into human form but it seems like leeches are lacking manners these days."

All eyes turned to see Paul in all his alpha glory, staring at henry with yellow eyes.

"please forgive my husband…he didn't mean any harm..." Evelyn spoke up in her husband's defense.

Paul glared at them and then turned his attention towards jasper.

"So, tell us Jasper how do newborns differ from regular ones?" Paul asked

Jasper went to respond but howls were quickly heard.

Paul quickly turned and at the same time he and Alice spoke

"it's Victoria! "

" She's! she's coming too early! No! Paul she's leading the newborns straight to forks and another group is headed towards the reservation! "

…..

Bella stilled as she heard the howls and suddenly the air around her went much colder.

"Seth?" she called

The door nudged open and big cream-colored wolf shuffled at her.

"Bella…Stay inside!" she heard Sam ordered as he sprinted past her and out the door.

On instinct, Bella reached for the phone…but who was she going to call?

Well, you are the Alpha's mate. Why don't you check on the imprints…I think Paul wrote everyone's numbers down somewhere?

Just as Bella was dialing, she heard loud and furious growls. And then the sudden sound of something breaking.

Then there was silence.

"Sam? Seth?" she called

No answer

"Collin? Brady?"

No answer.

Bella's heart was hammering in her chest now.

With quick action, she grabbed a lighter and headed up the stairs to the bathroom.

…..

"This cant be happening! Its too early!" Alice shrieked as Jasper ,Emmett and Paul worked on sending different groups to forks and another to the reservation. Because of the delicacy of the situation, Paul allowed the leeches on his land and made sure his pack knew who was who before ordering them off.

Of course, the first leech he sent was Emmett. His job was to get to Bella and secure her as fast as he could.

He then phased in and directed Quill to the imprints. Jacob was still radio silent, but he couldn't worry about that now and jasper had to give the wolves a crash course on the newborns and just as Paul was giving out orders, his mind was bombarded by images of a broken and bleeding Collin. All the while Seth, Sam and brady were trying to fight off two vampires.

Hold them off you three! I am sending reinforcements! The rest of you move your asses! Think about your imprints! Your family! the tribe! You will do everything in your power to protect what you cherish the most! Paul roared in their heads.

Paul then nodded to jasper as both them went in opposite directions.

Someone was going to die tonight and it was not going to be him.

Just hang on Bella. We'll be there soon.

With quick thought, Paul phased back to human and looked up to the trees.

With the all the breath in lungs he shouted " DEMETRI! GET YOUR RUSSIAN ASS DOWN HERE!"

…..

Bella clutched her stomach, as she heard the vicious growls getting closer.

Whoever they were was inside now. She could hear her kitchen table break.

Bella put her hand over her mouth to keep from screaming. She was pretty sure whoever they were could hear her heart hammering away.

The closet door opened and Bella was going to scream

But her voice caught in her throat when she saw who opened the door.

Marcus volturi and two beautiful women standing next to him

...

Demetri jumped from the trees, his eyes glowing a harsh red.

"How'd you know I was up there?" Demetri asked

" I know everything dumbass! That's how! Now I need you to call these Italian blood drinkers you serve and tell them to get there assess down here!"

Demetri made sure not to make eye contact when he said this part.

"They are already here my lord. Matter of fact, they have just picked up your mate. would you like to talk to them ?" Demetri asked as he pulled out his phone.

Paul growled and snatched the ringing phone out of his hand.

"Demetri-" a female voice said

"No this is the Alpha you Italian leech! Let me talk to my Mate."

"ah, Mr. Alpha…I assure you your mate is safe but I also understand the need to talk to her. hang on."

There was shuffling and Paul motioned for Demetri to follow him as they ran. He could hear the growls and cries of his pack mates.

"Paul?" Bella voice croaked. She sounded exhausted

"Bella? Babe. Are you hurt?"

"n- no just... overwhelmed."

"I know honey. Listen you can trust the Italians. Them helping us out was long overdue . now put the leader on the phone because I know it wasn't that female."

His mate did as ask and Paul growled. His pack was on the battle field and here he was having freaking tea with the Italian leeches!

"This is Marcus volturi."

"look here bastard! I don't know how you knew where my mate was or why you got to her faster than the guards I assigned her but I will be finding out! Not a hair on her head is to be harmed! And don't you dare touch any human within the vicinity! And the wolves that are around you, you better listen to them or I will make them rip you to shreds! I will find your ass once all this is over with!" He roared.

With that said, Paul threw Demetri's phone at him and phased.

It was time to kill some newborns. With his muzzle he motioned Demetri to follow.

If things continued like this, he was gonna need another long vacation.

…..

Emmett crossed over the border and into the reservation, his sensitive nose was bombarded with the stench of wolves and burning vampires but that wasn't the scent he needed.

He needed Bella's scent. He quickly found it not too far. it was mixed with three unknown scents.

Emmett hissed.

No, no one was going to hurt his little sister.

With ease, he sprinted towards Bella's scent and came upon a shocking discovery.

Lying on the ground was a wolf and he looked to be struggling to breath and there was more.

He knew he had come upon Paul and Bella's house because her scent was overwhelming. However, what alarmed him was the three vampires and two other wolves who seemed to be confused. Emmett immediately recognized the vampires. It was the volturi. But what were they doing here? and on the reservation? And from the looks of it, it looked like the two wolves were ok with it.

Just what the heck was happening? No longer wanting to observe, Emmett rushed over.

"Just what the heck is going on here?" he asked

Both wolves phased. Emmett recognized them instantly.

"Sam, Seth? What is going on! Where's Bella! and you guys know you have an unconscious wolf over there?!"

Sam groaned and fell to the floor, with Emmett catching him.

"Paul just informed us about the vamps. And no, we didn't realize Collin was hurt, we were ambushed, and these red eyes saved our lives. Collin!? Collin! Can you hear me!? move your tail or something!?" Sam yelled across the yard.

To everyone's relief, Collins tail began to thump.

" oh, thank god. I think he's just exhausted and his leg looks oddly shaped. I thinks its broken…" Seth groaned as he began to limp over to the wolf.

"Ok, now that that's clear. Where is my sister!"

"Relax young Cullen. She is resting. We gave her quite a fright." Marcus finally spoke.

Emmett mean mugged him and stormed his way inside.

"Bella!? Bella!?" Emmett shouted

No response. But what He did hear was groans coming from the bathroom.

Without knocking Emmett bursts in.

"Bella!" he boomed.

Emmett was greeted by a groan and the sight of Bella puking into the toilet.

"Baby bell?" he asked gently

"I'm fine. I'm fine. Just overwhelmed. I think the twins are just a little excited." She said smiling

"oh pavero bambino? Is there anything we can do for you? Some saltines? Or a glass of ginger ale?" the beautiful blonde vampire asked as she appeared next to Bella.

Emmett held back a growl. Why were these volturi so concerned for his sister? Last time he heard they wanted to kill her.

"um…some ginger ale might help athendora, but I don't have any here."

"That's quite alright. We can fetch some. Come, let's get you cleaned up…"

Emmett stood there in shock and anger.

He quickly found himslef nose to nose with Marcus.

"What's your deal! You depressed, no feeling, psychotic human drinking Bastard!"

Emmett had never felt so much emotion. He was angry! He was a protector and he couldn't even protect his sister from newborns or the volturi! But most of all, he felt like he was losing her. he felt like he had nothing left. He wasn't gifted like the rest of his family therefore didn't have the same value as Edward, Alice and jasper. Esme and Rosalie both had talents and degrees and while Emmett had degrees, they didn't amount to much. Bella made him feel wanted and important. He wasn't just some dufus of a brother…to her he was smart… and caring…. Not even his wife had made him feel that way.

He was so lost in his emotions and his anger that he didn't realize someone was touching him.

The haze melted and he breathed in the scent of his little sister. Her arms were wrapped around his waist.

Marcus volturi stood with a serene smile on his face.

"I have never seen a sibling bond so strong… and as to why my as you say it depressed, no feeling psychotic human drinking self is here, well that's a bit complicated and I'm sure the alpha would like to be the first person to hear the reason. So, I will explain myself once all has been settled."

Emmett nodded and wrapped Bella in his arms.

"I didn't mean to lose it like that. sorry if scared the three of you…"

"oh your such A BIG BEAR…" a voice croaked.

All eyes turned to see Collin being held up by Sam and Seth.

He was grinning from ear to ear at Emmett.

"yeah whatever puppy."

Bella let go of Emmett and immediately began to look over the three wolves.

"oh my gosh you guys! All of you sit. Now, no fighting me about it."

As the alpha's mate and wife, Bella had power and they had no choice but to comply.

The three looked on in curiosity as Bella began to touch them and look for injuries and broken bones but when her hand touched Sam's she gasped and so did sam.

Bella suddenly began to shake.

"What's wrong with her?" Emmett asked as he stepped forward. He moved to touch Bella, but some unknown force stopped him.

"What the hell? What is this?"

" Her shield has manifested…" a quiet voice spoke.

Emmett turned to look at a dark-haired woman, who he didn't realize was even there.

"who the hell are you?"

"Watch your tone with me boy…I'm older than your parents combined." She hissed but as she looked at Bella her eyes softened.

"I knew she was gifted but not like this….the energy coming from her is so strong…"

Emmett went to say something but stopped when a bright glow filled the room.

"WHAT IS HAPPENING!" he yelled

The glow quickly disappeared, just as it came.

That glow that had been surrounding Bella, who in turn was still touching Sam had disappeared but what they saw had all the vampires looking in shock.

The three wolves stood before them, not human but in wolf form and they somehow seemed …more muscled than before.

"you are healed…go, help protect your tribe! Help your brothers! Do not fail us!"

The wolves simply bowed and ran out the door , howling all the way.

…

Bella couldn't describe what happened.

One moment she was looking at Sam, the next, she was seeing everything he saw. All his pain. All his suffering and then it only combined with the other two wolves and she felt so…angry. Angry over their pain and all their sacrifices without so much as a thank you but her senses went overboard when she felt and saw them fight the newborn vampires. She could literally feel their teeth biting into the dead flesh and smell the rot.

It was disgusting and something inside her rose up… she was quickly ambushed by an image of an all-white wolf with the clearest blue eyes she had ever seen.

"Who are you?" she asked

"I am who you have always meant to be… I am the essence of who you are! I am your power! Your strength… just manifested into a livable form…"

"and that means..."

"it means that the power, your shield and healing abilities have manifested into a living being. To be used at your beck and call. For some reason we have morphed into a wolf. All you have to do is call me and I will appear. your love for your mate, your pack and all those involved was so strong that it produced me…."

"wow…i..i don't know what to say…"

"yes ,I'm quite aware my lady…now I think you might want to turn around…because the other beings think you are having a one-sided conversation. You have yet to summon me as I am still inside your head …all you have to do is call me forth…."

As soon the words were said, Bella felt herself being shaken.

Her eyes opened. She didn't realize they were closed.

"Bella?!" Emmett yelled

"Em…stop yelling…I'm fine…I...think… just...just give me some room to breathe."

Emmett did so, and Bella felt herself breath but as she did, she suddenly felt a sharp pain and then something like a balloon pop.

Suddenly a pool of water and blood were at her feet.

Completely aware of the vampires in the room and a war at their hands… Bella called out without thinking.

"AMPARO!"

And in the blink an eye…Bella was nowhere to be found and at the same time , the four vampires heard a chorus of howls and vicious hisses.

More vampires were on tribal land! And The alpha's mate had disappeared.

"Paul's going to kill us…." Emmett whispered in terror.

…..

Jacob had no idea what was going on …but one thing he knew Seeing Edward Cullen with Red eyes was not a part of the plan and to his horror, there was a whole army of red eyed vampires behind him with Black cloaks…

He was glad, they were so focused on running they didn't smell or hear him.

Dammit, I don't know what's going on, but it can't be good! I..I have to get back…and then…then I'm never coming back!

A/n: me hiding behind Marcus and Emmett. This is about to be Big!

Also Amparo Is a spanish name meaning protection and shelter…
