The Bite of a Wolf.

Bella needs to escape. One wolf is willing to do what is needed to help. Bella x Paul. AU OOC

Paul POV

I glared across at them, she's turning him down again. Enough is enough.

"Are you really that stupid? If he really is your soul mate you wouldn't be down here wondering if someone else would be a better option. You aren't sure but you are going to let them kill you for your first crush, first boyfriend. What's the rush to get married? Talk to the wolves that have imprinted. The vampires say mating is the same as imprinting. If your connection is so strong, how did he stay away for so long? The wolves struggle to be apart a full day," now she starts with the water works.

"But he left to keep me safe," she blubbers.

"Bang up job that was. How safe were you in the forest? Wolves found you because the humans couldn't. How safe were you when you were suffering withdrawals from their vampire lures? How safe were you when the other Vampires came back to kill you? How safe were you when the vampire voodoo shit had you trying to kill yourself, just so you could hallucinate hearing his voice? They left so they could save you when they got back. They left to break you to make you nice and malleable," she cuts me off.

"No, it's not like that," she defends.

"So how were the others changed, tell me that?" I demand.

She whimpers, "Carlisle was chasing vampires under his father's orders, to protect the community. Edward was dying of Influenza. Carlisle met Esme when she was young and set her leg, her found her years later after she jumped off a cliff to commit suicide. Rosalie they knew, she was raped by her fiancee and his friends and left for dead. Emmett was mauled by a bear. Jasper was changed to fight in a vampire war. Alice was in an insane asylum when the one that hunted me, hunted her. She was changed by someone else to save her from him".

I laugh, "So Vampires that are frozen in the mental state they are changed. They are all changed in nightmare situations, frozen as they are dying ugly deaths. The Doctor was hunting outcasts but was unlucky enough to find the real thing. He picked a spoilt brat just after he lost his parents as he too was dying. Were they rich? A nice little financial windfall. Esme they met and leave until she is completely broken and dying, then they change her. They just happen to find Rosalie after she is raped. Even with mind reading, they couldn't save her before she was raped. Emmet was picked because she liked his dimples. Apart from Emmett, Carlisle just happened to know them while they were human? You don't see a theme?"

"But Carlisle didn't want to turn anyone that could stay human, They had to be changed or die," she states.

"So why you? Are you dying? Did they leave that last member of the Coven that wants to kill you so they can save you after she brutally tortures you first. They can step in and save the day. Freeze you with the horror and pain as part of your psyche for eternity. Make sure you are all grateful, meek and mild. The perfect Stepford wife that won't rock the boat?" I taunt.

"No, they wouldn't. How do you know so much about them?" she asks in fear.

"I never trusted them. I listen. I overheard more than they want anyone to know. They don't care about the people around here. Look how many have already died. How many more are going to die so they can make you the last piece to their Frankenstein experiment?" she shakes her head violently.

"No, no, no. You are wrong. They wouldn't. They wouldn't, would they?" her eyes meet mine wide and fearful, I could break it off. I don't want anyone else hurt".

I bark out a bitter laugh, "Do you really believe they will let you walk away after all they have done to set this up? They have spent years getting in position to lure you in. We are their blind spot. The Seer can't see us".

Jacob butts in, "You can date me. Move here and I can protect you".

"Yes, become Jacob's bed warmer and housekeeper until he meets his Imprint and she kicks you to the curb," I come back sarcastically.

"I won't Imprint. I want Bella," Jacob argues.

"Sam had been dating Leah for years. They were planning a life together. He imprints on her cousin. Leah gets dumped and Emily moves in. Look how hurt and bitter she still is," I remind him.

"But I'm different. I would never do that to Bella," Bella watches us like a tennis match.

"You know there is only one way to ensure that," I goad, knowing he hates that idea.

"No. I will never hurt her like that. I will never bite her. No, that is so wrong. You know it has to be done while," he drops to a whisper and blushes, "having sex".

Poor little virgin, "Yes, you have to bite as you both orgasm in doggy position out in the woods to claim a woman as your Mate without an imprint. Your Wolf has to want the woman enough to come out and, how did they put it, ah yes, bless the union. You know what that means you have to fuck her either as a Wolf or have the connection with your wolf to partially change".

He screams, "Bella would never want that. I would never do that".

He storms out slamming the door.

She looks at me, the entire set of her body changes, "You have a plan or you would never started that argument".

I grin at her. I hated her to start with but she has a way of getting under my skin. I find myself searching her out when ever she is down here. I watch as she gets ignored and ordered about with the Cullen's. She hides and only shows what she thinks is expected. I catch glimpse of who she could be if she would let show her true self. That's the person I want to save. Now he is gone I can already see her true self shining through.

"You believe me?" I check.

She glances around.

"It's only us. Even if someone tried to listen outside the background noise covers our soft words, no one can hear us," I turn the music up a bit further.

"Yes," she sighs, "I have feared what you said for a while but I have no idea how to escape. I was in too deep before I realised how bad things are. Shutting down like that isn't me, there was something more at work. I finally crawl out of whatever it was and they come back and drag me in deeper".

"I want to help but I want to help the real you, not the face you put on for Charlie, that you got stuck playing for Edward and Jacob".

Her eyes shoot to mine, "How?"

I smirk, "I watch. I listen. I know what it is like to play the part people expect to see. You are far to comfortable with your body to be the shy little virgin you try to portray".

"Renee told me how straight laced Charlie is. I came up to escape the newly weds. I thought I could pretend until I got to College. I'll never get there unless I can escape Vampires; The Cullen's, Victoria and the Volturi Kings," she has a spark of anger in her eye.

"You'll have to put up with me as your Mate and leave here forever," I offer.

She smirks, "You imprinted on me didn't you. That's why my true self comes out with you. You didn't like me but your Wolf kept you coming back. You want Renee's daughter not Charlie's dutiful little girl. I saw you too. You are the only one that make life interesting around here. I'm game, if you are".

"Do you have anything you can't live without that you want to take with you?" I check.

With a bitter laugh she responds, "A heart beat. The rest is just stuff. I have a bag in the truck that might come in useful".

"Now?" I ask with a quirk of my eyebrow.

"Yes, less chance of anyone stopping us," she agrees.

I can't believe she agreed so easily.

"Come on then," I lead her out the house.

I take her to my house. Well, my Father's house. It is a dump. He's away more than he's here. I have nothing I want to keep, including memories of here.

I get her to put on a wetsuit I bought of the off chance of her going along with my plan. She changes in front of me without even a blush. I give her a look.

She shakes her head at me, "I see no point in pretending, if we are escaping together. You know I was hiding who I really am. Renee took to me on many clothes optional holidays. I prefer to live without textiles!"

I get her to put her clothes on over the top of the wetsuit. She puts her dry bag under her clothes.

I put on a pair of shorts that I have worn the last few weeks. A brightly coloured pair of swim shorts. The guys teased but I claim they are all I have left. I pick up and carry a backpack but don't wear it, all the contents are packed inside a refuse sack. It has a change of clothes for us both, a compact lightweight, hiking and camping kit; one thing my Father splashed out on.

"So what is the plan?" she asks.

I grin, "Cliff diving. Victoria is going to take you. I'm going to try to save you but we will both get taken away by the currents at this time of year. My shorts will get shredded when I phase which is why you will have the bag. I'll rip your clothes off. We will stay in the water a while and get out a good distance from here, which is why you have the wet suit underneath".

In my shorts pocket I tucked a plastic bag with a tuft of red hair inside. I got close but she got away. I was left with a handful of hair.

"You've planned this for a while," she states.

I nod, "And that bag you have under your clothes just happened to be in the truck".

We hike up the cliffs. We thought the plans were going to fall to bits when Embry shouts to us. I use our bodies to screen the backpack from his view. He decided to join us. Fortunately he had to run a quick errand first.

She doesn't need telling to leave her coat and footwear at the top of the cliff.

She takes her shirt off. Her actions make more sense when I help her put the backpack on. She fastens the backpack, all the straps fasten it tight to her body. She's bulky with her dry bag and my backpack. She puts her arms in her shirt, as if she was going to wear it backwards, and tucks it in. I'll be able to tear her shirt off even with the backpack strapped tightly on her. She takes a running jump.

I wait until she surfaces then I yell, "Red head. The red head is in the water, she is after Bella. Bella is in the water".

I take the hair from the bag and take a running jump myself.

I swim to Bella. With the hair in my hand I rip her clothes to shreds. Getting strands of hair tangled in her clothes.

"Grab onto me after I phase, we will try to swim under the water a few times, hold your breath. Tap my side when you need to surface. The wolf is a strong swimmer. Just not as fast as vampires in the water," I quickly tell her.

She nods. I get enough distance from her to phase safely. I swim to her. She puts an arm around my neck then takes a deep breath. I'm surprised as she does her best to swim with me. She stays under longer than I guessed. We surface and take some deep breaths. She nods confirming she is ready to go back under. The current takes us away as we get further from shore. When the cliffs are out of sight we stay on the surface.

I keep swimming getting closer to shore as I start to tire. She has started shivering even swimming as hard as she is and with the wetsuit. I need to get us to shore to warm her up.

I spot a good place to land. A picnic site with BBQ pits. I keep going until we are beyond them and can get out of the water unseen.

She gives me the backpack and I tell her to keep moving so she doesn't get colder.

I quickly get small shelter up and a fire going. She stripped out of the wetsuit and hung it to dry. I laugh as she uses a tiny face cloth to dry herself but she keeps wringing it out. It works for everything apart from her hair. She wrung her hair out but it's still running with water.

"Do you have a knife?" she asks as she pulls her hair into a ponytail.

I nod, she turns her back and holds up her hair, "Hack it off near my hand".

I like her hair, I don't want to see it go but I comply. I'm surprised at how good it looks for such a rough cut.

I pull her into my arms to share body heat as we eat the snacks I packed. I rise to attention just having her so close, skin on skin.

The minx grinds against me, "Damn woman, I want that but we need to make sure we got enough distance from them".

Between the food, the fire and the teasing, we want to stay longer but we both feel a need strong to move on. When the fire started to burn down, I get her to put the wetsuit back on. I dowse the fire and ensure no heat is left in the ashes.

"I'm going to run wolf. I want you to ride on my back. The wetsuit should keep you warmer than any of the clothes I have in my bag," She makes no complaints, just gets on with things.

I notice she packs up everything, including the hair I cut off to take with us, "Do you want to go wolf and check we haven't left anything with our scents on. The clouds look like it is going to rain but I want to cover our tracks".

I was going to check but it pleases me that she is thinking on the same lines.

I can run wolf for hours, I've had plenty of practice doing long patrols. The other thing I practised from the start is keeping my mind private. I was able to phase without Sam or Jared knowing I was there. I kept the ability secret, never knowing when it might be useful.

That night I run until I exhaustion catches up to me. I find a good place to camp and fall to sleep almost immediately. I must have slept like a log, I wake feeling completely refreshed.

I snuggle into the warm soft woman that I am spooning. She smells so good. I rock my morning wood into her ass. The previous day comes back to me. I slept so well I'm surprised to see the lightweight tarpaulin tied over us protecting us from any rain. I glance around at a well set up camp site. She has found all the gear in my bag and knew how to use it.

In a sleepy voice she asks, "Food or sex first?"

A woman after my own heart, "Normally I would say sex but after yesterday I need food before anything else. I'll phase and see if I can find anything".

I find some big game that my wolf can gorge on. I take a haunch back for Bella.

I'm surprised she has water boiling over a fire she has built up. She has a spit set up to cook the meat. She cuts off a few smaller pieces to cook quickly on the hot stones. I notice she has a bowl of mush already cooked.

"Edibles I managed to find last night. I prepared plenty so there would be enough for you too, if you woke. I thought I could add the cooked meat to it for breakfast. I guess you ate the rest of the animal in wolf form?" I'm amazed at her.

"I didn't know you had any idea what wild food you can find in this area", I admit to her.

She grins, "When I visited as a kid, Charlie and Billy took Jake and I on many overnight or weekend trips. Fishing, camping and enjoying the great outdoors. Summer temperatures up here are colder than the winter temperatures I was used to. I didn't have proper gear so I got cold and wet fast. I got good at getting a fire going, if only to warm up faster.

Jacob was useless at finding all the plants Billy identified. He would go for those we were told not to pick or to avoid. To get back o the fire faster I had to point Jacob in the right direction but let him think it was his idea. I remember it all".

"So can you fish too," I tease.

She grumbles, "Fish, gut, descale and cook, the number of times Jacob told me, 'You are a girl so you should do the women's work'. I caught and landed the things but I still had to do all the rest of the work".

I laugh, "Ouch! So he hasn't changed much. I had a very different upbringing. I was taught if I want something, I have to do it myself. I can cook and clean with the best of them, just don't let other men know, I'll never live it down. I was shocked to see you had set up camp, I didn't think you would know how. I expected to do everything myself. It will be nice be with someone willing to share the work load".

"A kind description of Renee is flighty. She loved starting things or coming up with ideas put never followed through. I had to finish things for her. When it come to putting things away she would put things down then get upset when they hadn't magically been put away properly when she wanted them again. I was forever tidying up after her," ouch, I was always envious of kids with mother's but she reminds me they aren't all the good sort.

She continued, "When I visited Charlie I was used to having to do things myself. I watched carefully so I could do it myself if I need to. Charlie had good intentions but he wasn't used to looking after a child 24/7, never mind a girl!"

I noticed Charlie is hands off with her. It sounds like she had to look after her Mother rather than the other way around. It explains why she managed to fool so many with her innocent good girl act.

I turn the roast then look at her, "Want to kill some time while this cooks?"

She glances down at my hardening cock, showing exactly where my thoughts have gone, "My favourite pastime. I'm out of practise. Shower heads might be fine in a pinch but nothing is as good as the real thing".

"Charlie complained to Billy, the problem with having a woman in the house is there is never enough hot water," I tease her.

"I may have complained that the water goes cold when I'm trying to rinse my hair. I quickly learned to take my pleasure before washing. Long hair was a good excuse for the time I took," her fingers feather against my arms distracting me.

"You won't need excuses any more. After hearing about the number of showers you used to take in a day, I think I have found a woman that can keep up with me," I let my fingers run over her skin and notice how her nipples tighten even more.

She stands on tiptoe as she reaches up to kiss me, before her lips touch mine, "So much better when we are both naked to start with. I hate fighting to get out of clothes".

"So our destination should be clothes free?" I ask as I bend down to meet her lips.

Her reply was a long time in coming as our mouths are busy kissing, "Renee knew of quite a few places that aren't just clothes free but anything goes. I memorised them. I want only you and hope you want only me. I love the idea of being able to fuck you anywhere".

"Sounds idyllic. The only problem is we aren't exactly flush for cash," I eventually reply.

As I lower us to the ground she tells me, "I may have helped myself to the emergency cash from Edward's safe. Every time Alice took me shopping I claimed I should take money too. He told me to take money from his safe, he topped it up regularly without questioning me on amounts. I took money each and every time, no matter who I went with. I bought the dry bag to keep it in. I also got some ID blanks from Jasper. They are mostly complete, all done in wolf presence. They just need photos adding. I hope you don't mind using Thomas in public. I get Heather. Emmett showed me how they move their money to different names then delete the money trail. Thomas and Heather have quite a few shares that Alice sees shooting up in price and a couple of bank accounts with significant amounts".

"They don't know? The Seer didn't see and the others don't know?" I ask in concern.

"I made quite a few different ones. I deleted them and made more. For these I decided all the details when Jacob was sat in the room watching television. He thought I was busy doing homework. They had been teaching me about skills I would need when I was changed. Emmett told me it was pocket change. They told me I could play the stock market, move it about and it didn't matter if I lost it. Alice uses her ability to watch the stock market. She marked them in the paper everyday. Some she said weren't worth messing with since they would only have a short spikes. I used the small spikes. It multiplied fast, I only traded when a wolf was in the room," she explains, "I learned how to follow the market. I made good returns, just not as good as having a seer to follow".

I look at her, "So you could be living the high life and you are sat with me in the middle of a forest eating only what the forest provides?"

Her eyes shine with the size of her smile, "Yes. I hate the pomp and ceremony. I hate the snobs that look down on everyone else because of money, job, upbringing or all the other reasons they use. I had to put up with enough of those with Renee. She dated a few pro sportsmen, the teammates wives fought dirty so they didn't become the ex. I would prefer to live off the land with you than be anywhere without you. The money might enable us to choose to live the way we talked about. Day to day it things like this that matter to me; Talking, laughing, loving, none of those cost money. Would you prefer to be dressed in a tux hobnobbing in some fancy restaurant or naked in the forest with me?"

There never was any doubt for me, "With you. Naked in the forest is just a bonus. I was so used to females wanting to go shopping for new things, the latest whatever. I never cared much about possessions. I wanted someone that loves me as much as I love them. I love the simple pleasures of life, those that can't be bought. Having enough money so we can set up, without having to take cash in hand jobs will be so much better than I hoped for".

Our attention went back to pleasure. We made love on the forest floor. I might have imprinted on her but accepting each other like this, cemented the bond.

I stood to turn the meat, then turned her onto her hands and knees, "We, my wolf and I, both want to claim you. Do you want us?"

She turned her head over her shoulder, "I want you both. I want to be connected to you both in every way possible".

She turned her head back and wiggled her bum at me. My wolf howled in pleasure at her actions. The wolf joins me, sharing my body rather than changing to his form. I have a few physical changes but not major ones. My jaw becomes more wolf like and my canines lengthen. My eye sight shifts to wolf vision, my sense of smell intensified along with so many other little things I take for granted when I change forms.

The wolf took control, I'm just a passenger in my own body.

The wolf's has different priorities to human ones. I can only try to use my own feelings to explain how happy the wolf is to have a willing Mate that he approves of, one willing to have us to claim her, in his way. The joy when she accepted him, as well as me, almost bought me to my knees.

If I thought having sex with my Imprint had cemented our bond, this is so much more again. I can't even find words to explain the intimacy, when the wolf bit her shoulder as we both reached our peaks the connection flooded between us. Even after I removed my teeth and cock the connection remains.

"Wow, that, just wow," she mumbles as we both roll onto our backs.

I'd tease her but my brain is mush in the same way, wow doesn't cover it.

We head south east. We go into a few shops. We pick little stores rather than chains. We avoid any that have any cameras we can spot. Bella spots an internet cafe. She uses sites I have never heard of to hide her presence and delete any tracks. She finds all the places Renee had mentioned to her. One stands out for it's location in the woods and properties available to buy.

I'm impressed when we sneak into a small town and she throws all our rubbish into a full dumpster. She keeps her eyes out for cameras. She picks up some hair dye and fake tan.

I surprised at how good she is at wild camping. She makes it so much fun. I'm amazed at how tasty she can make simple food.

With simple changes we both look different to how we did when we left. She used the fake tan and lightened her newly cut hair.

"I naturally tan a bit darker than this. Renee wanted me pale for her wedding photos, so I didn't upstage her in any way," She told me.

I was shocked to hear how self centred her Mother is. Why would it matter if her daughter look tanned in the photos?

She cuts my hair slightly differently, I think I look good and it doesn't make too much difference in my wolf form. She makes me cover up my pack tattoo with some makeup she bought. I'll have to remove it. It will be painful but at least the wolf will heal me quickly after I remove the skin.

The best thing is the Mating bite has changed her scent. She smells like me now. She still has some of her underlying scent but the flowery part is lost. She was always a bit too flora before, I love her new scent.

My Wolf let's me know that our scent is slightly different too, we have taken on part of her scent.

Bella helped me remove the tattoo. I was right, it was extremely painful but it healed without even a scar. I'm sure all the stuff Bella bought and the way she looked after it, helped it heal so well.

I returned the favour and removed the scar on her arm. Ever since I bit her she has run a bit hotter and heals faster. She has a bit of scaring on her arm now but you have to look for it and it looks nothing like teeth marks. Best of all it no longer glitters in the sun.

We took our time and enjoyed each other in the great outdoors.

Bella suggested hiring a car from the nearest airport, make it look like we flew in. We got clothes that look smart casual. We drove up and got the keys for our new home.

We got a corner house with an extra large yard, we were able to buy extra land to extend it further. We are both happy to be naked and don't care who sees us but I need space to phase and run. Our lot backs onto a National forest so my wolf has plenty of freedom. We still camp wild, spending days enjoying each other in the wilderness.

It took a couple of days to buy a car, furniture and all the stuff we needed. Bella set up working from home, trading on the stock market. She had some program that logged the Cullen's stock market purchases and she followed that as a guide.

She happily taught me all the stuff the Cullen's taught her. We decided to attend university, a finance degree, if you can believe it! We bought a flat near just off the campus rather than dealing with the commute every day.

The little minx hid far more than I expected. My Wolf got it so right imprinting on her, she is perfect for me.

She decided to use our time at university to get others into the lifestyle we choose. We made a large number of friends. Every time we got ready to go out, she would go and get ready with the girls. She encouraged them to be more adventurous with their clothing choices. Fancy dress was code for clothes as exposing as possible, for males and females. We went to many fancy dress parties and came away wearing even less, if anything, compared to the little we went in wearing. Best of all we got many others doing the same.

It didn't matter how outgoing the other students started they all went further with Bella pushing from the background. The sly thing managed to make most of them think it was their idea and they pushed Bella further. I don't know how she did it. I love the results.

I did my part and got the guys to help the girls out of their clothes and get naked themselves. Going to the lake is always skinny dipping, the numbers joining in, keeps increasing. We got them happy to stay naked for the rest of the night. It took longer for most of them to stop hiding away when they are fucking but most of them came around to our way of thinking.

We didn't let them know about our house until we had been at uni for over a year. Most of them are happy with our lifestyle and enjoy it themselves. A few of the rich guys, we converted to our way of thinking, have bought houses near ours.

The others know we had a lucky streak on the stock market allowing us to buy our house and flat. I'm not sure I know how much we are worth, Bella just smirks at me when I ask.

We graduated then got married. We still look over our shoulder and I keep a nose out for any Vampires or Shifters.

Bella followed any information on the internet. She is a scarily good hacker when she wants. We were both listed as dead after we left. There has been no sign of anyone thinking any differently. Bella hacked into Cullen's email and learned Victoria had been killed by the Wolves. The Cullen's informed the Volturi she was dead.

Bella keeps an eye on the Volturi since she doesn't trust them not to attack La Push. She claims Aro read Edward's memories, so they know the Wolves exist.

The Cullen's moved to Alaska after we left. They moved on repeating High school again and again. They choose small towns in the Northern Americas.

The years went by. Our friends got married and had kids. We have two kids, a girl and a boy. They are a handful but we love them so much. They have both grown up without clothes. Many of the kids at the local school all grew up the same way, so they have support when those from other backgrounds try to tease them.

They were teens before they found out that Daddy can change into a giant wolf. They don't know our real names or history.

They had both left for university when we realised we had to leave too. For the last couple of years our friends keep asking what our secret to staying looking so young. We are in our late forties and still look in our mid twenties.

We decide to travel. We turn the house and flat over to the kids. They are both busy doing Bella's trick of converting all those around them to a clothes free lifestyle, having sex where ever they felt like it. They are both happy for us.

We meet up with them in holiday locations of their choice. Their current partners give us funny looks for appearing too young. We even put some grey streaks in our hair but it's not enough.

Bella sits me down, "We aren't ageing. We need to set up an accident to make it appear we died. The kids have good lives. We are causing them problems, we look their age, we don't look old enough to be their parents".

I knew it was coming after we had to leave our house, "Have you got the new identifications set up yet?"

She grimaces but nods, "I transferred most of the assets I accumulated. The kids will inherit a substantial sum. They are both in good jobs. They should never need for money".

I try to make the best of it, "So Law degree this time? Maybe just an isolated house this time".

We start again. We don't have any more children, it's was too hard leaving them. We still follow our family and how they are doing but we keep our distance.

This time we tell people we are travelling when our new set of friends are reaching their forties. We start again. We still don't look any older. Our kids are Grandparents now yet we still look the same. Our daughter had three children and our son had four children. Six of those children married and had large families of their own.

We started again having another run though university, staying until the latest friends were reaching their forties.

All those we knew back in Forks and La Push have died. Leah was the last to go, she was one hundred and two. When we realise we weren't ageing we checked up on if any of the other Wolves were the same. The photos all show they aged, just like normal people.

I came up with the only difference I could think of. I traced the scar I made when I Marked her. We checked back over all the old photos and not one of them is marked.

We learned about the death of our son, cancer took him. It hit us both hard. Our daughter lived fourteen more years, she had a stoke.

We lived in the wilderness for over a decade until we decided to start again. Bella made a family tree, adding to it as our family keeps growing. We don't follow them closely but we watch out for the big announcements.
