Chapter 3: Omega Abilities and Final Decisions
"Yeah exactly, I just remembered that myself now, the way we were together, your parents treated me like I was their own and our parents have been friends and their own pack since they were our age. My bracelet was the symbol of a blood brother right pack, dad's a human werewolf, he wanted my mate to be a wolf, like mom wanted it that way. I was raised by the wolves, I'm a human werewolf and I belong with you now." I said and they smiled as we went into a group hug then.
"What position do I hold on the pack, if I'm leading with Jake and Sam and our pack leadership if our bonds as a pack started from our cubhood?" I asked and he explained that. "As the Alpha's mate, if the alpha and the beta are out of commission you take over and the alpha's third leads the pack next to you while they're in recovery." he said and I nodded as I thought over my new ability to talk to my uncles and pack.
"How were you able to do that if I could you hear think that and I can now hear Reddy and Shadow?" I asked and he explained it to me. "The omega connection gives a two way connection, you can hear us in wolf form and we can hear you when we're phased, your mother was my omega, though she was in Forks, and the connection got stronger every year, if you work it hard enough you can speak to us in human form as well." he said and I felt my shock go through me at that
"Human form, I can talk to you when you're like this?" I repeated and he nodded. "Yes, with the fact you activated it now it won't take long to reach full strength, and added training can make it so you can do it in both ways, whether we're wolves or human." he said and I nodded as I asked the next one, before I could though, the pack looked at me in shock at that as Paul said it for the entire group in disbelief.
"Omega, you're our omega?" Paul said in shock and I nodded. "Yeah, that's why I could hear the mental statement in Jake's case during the days leading up to the battle, at this rate, I got a message saying I could change things and get our friendships back where it's supposed to be and our pack family back together if I change things by going back to the day we re-find each other." I said and he nodded as they adjusted to that.
"Why she shut down like that, it took two months to start healing the damage he did to her when she met me and Quil?" Embry asked angrily and he sighed as he explained that. "An omega's power come from from her coven or pack, if she bonded to a vampire clan." he said and Jared stood up at that. "She bonded to Cullen's family, he tears them out of her life and she shuts down, four months to heal from what that pheromone did and then spends three months here on the reservation, she's beginning to heal and bond to us, before it starts all over again." he said and Sam turned to me at that.
"Damn it, alright, if we just suggested you come here, Paul, Jared, Embry and I could have healed you up, before Jake joined the pack, that makes five and then when Leah and the duo phased, that's making the entire six and our familial sextet is completely active and he'd be screwed by the time he comes to check on us. Because you're now bonded to us and you're imprinted and the imprint just went completely active now."
"In other words if you had come back onto the reservation sooner we would have put our bonds as alpha and omega into place, and our bonds as a family gang back into place before the bastard landed you in the hospital and nearly hospitalized you last fall, now what the hell caused that exactly, what caused the broken leg and why didn't you think to call us first, before you chose that decision?" Sam asked and I explained it to them.
"The night it got started I was at the field with the Cullens as they were playing baseball when the trio you killed arrived, before Carlisle could get me out of there the leader picked up on my scent and they nearly got into a fight, if I'd known what you are, and what I am, I would have called Billy and you would have intercepted us at my house, before it turned into this, anyway, after a fast decision, I wanted dad protected and the only way to do that was by leading him away from our house at the time."
"By that point he turned it into a game of cat and mouse and I decided to leave town, but he tricked me by using mom to do and nearly killed me by breaking my leg and I lose a third of my blood supply, due to a concussion, a slashed artery and I barely managed to keep from getting turned into one then, because Cullen got the venom out." I said and he nodded with a furious look as Seth looked confused at the term.
"Omega what's that mean exactly?" Seth asked quickly and Leah, after thinking it over, answered that as her eyes turned dangerous. "It means she's the human leader of the pack, Jake or Sam leads it as a wolf, she does it as a human, she's our pack sister, and on top of that, our family happens to have the position to be her body guards Seth, added side effects, if I'm reading it correctly here, are physical and spiritual healing."
"She can heal injuries and her added powers are soul healing, she's the human version of us and can channel our powers as shape-shifters, I've been carrying the pain from Sam imprinting on Emily for months, and her power could heal the damage to my heart, simply by focusing on that portion of it, that leach knew it all the time, and hid it from her and his own clan, she would have healed me the day I started if it weren't for him."
"She has the power to fix that, had we had the chance to get our family gang back together, she would have healed me the day I phased, and the bastard has been keeping her from Billy to keep her from finding out the truth, and that is that you and I are her brother and sister, by adoption, the twins in the same way and Sam, Jared and Embry by blood, their parents are her aunts and uncles, and Jake is her soul mate, more specifically her imprint." she said and that did as Paul stood up at that.
"Dad's what's the ranking positions if you're the adult version of us and did your pack have a she-wolf as well, this never made sense to us?" Jake asked and he nodded. "Yes in order it's alpha, beta, alpha's third, alpha's fourth, secondary beta, fifth, six, seven eight, nine, and ten. The alpha's fourth is woman, she's charged with the protection of the alpha's mate and the omega, her personal bodyguard." he said and Sue finished it
"Guys your Aunt Jeanie was Renee's bodyguard, but when she retired as did Jeanie and Jeanie moved to Makah afterwards. With the fact the hunt began last year, no alpha's fourth and she was completely vulnerable. Had Jeanie stayed, you'd have been fully trained by now baby." she said and Leah nodded to her as she looked at my father.
"Well with that fact in mind, baby omega and adult alpha's fourth till I get started and I got someone to train me till I'm fully active once I get started and speaking of which, we got to recall Aunt Jean." she said and Paul nodded in agreement to that. "Good ideas, with her returning in January, we see each other automatically and our first family get together is the bonfire, before we're alway together after that." Jared said to her gently.
"In other words, she's one of us and he's been dosing her with something to keep those memories blocked and has been interfering with her coming to see us the last year since, alright that does it, he's toast, wait till his family hear this, because Doc Cullen prohibited their pheromone to be used and that's the injunction rule in the treaty and so is biting a human." he said and I nodded in agreement as I shifted the subject as I asked about it.
"So the omega ability runs in my portion of my clan?" I asked and Billy nodded as he answered me. "Yes, Tala, your great grandmother, was an omega the gift passed from generation to generation in the women in your family, Jake is your Alpha and true mate, while the boys are werewolves, you're the human version of a werewolf." he said and I nodded as that made more sense as I thought over my blood bond with them.
"Who are the duo related to Tala, if Sam, Jared and I are her cousins?" Embry asked and Billy explained that one to him. "Your great grandfather married Tala's sister and her twin married David Trueheart, Tala got thrown out of tribe, because she married a pale face, after my father explained this to me before he retired his position as the leader of the pack and tribe, and I rescinded the previous decision with your parents agreement to that, but the gift passed from one female member to the next in Tala's family and your aunt was my omega, before she retired and moved to Phoenix." he said and we nodded.
"Does it work with the current Alpha, even though the true one hasn't phased yet or isn't ready to activate his station yet?" I asked and he explained that as well as Jake wrapped his arms around me. "Yes, if you were working with Sam for several months before your cousin and Jake phased, the connection shifts from one Alpha to another, especially when said alpha is the chief of the tribe." he said and I nodded to that.
"She knew it was time for me to come home, because my powers were getting to activate if she agreed to shift sole custody to dad, though they had a joint custody arrangement when it came to me, and she shifted soul custody to dad before I activated my powers last year, alright I saw you first the day you brought the truck and Jake and I were getting ready to put our bond back into place, before I met the Cullens, is that why she decided to move out to Jacksonville, when I chose to stay here, so I could work at getting my powers activated?" I asked and his tone shifted to gentle anger as he answered as my cousin trio crouched next to me to hear this.
"Yes, she didn't want to keep it up after your grandmother passed, retired and left when you were two, but allowed your father to take you every summer, while we kept up the traditions, by the time you were seventeen your powers were ready to activate and she knew it was time for you to live with your father full time, she also knew you were ready to become the human leader of the pack and your contract was nearly ready to activate, the real message she gave you when you went to see her last spring was Edward wasn't who you were supposed to be with, Jake is, and with that in mind here."
"She wasn't expecting him to be the guy, she was also furious when you ended it up in the hospital at the time and she was trying steer you away from Cullen in your conversation, your place was pack, not vampire, and get you back with your cousins, before you got coerced into marrying him when the leadership forced you into it." he said to me and I nodded as her statement became more clear as I thought over connections.
"Who's the connection, if my parents are only children, I saw the picture with their mothers with the same green stripes mixed in with the guys' fathers family colors?" I asked and his answer sent a shock through me. "Your grandmother Hannah had two sisters, the girls were her cousins, she had you raised with the boys, because, like Leah and Emily, Renee, Sandy and Anna were just as close, and you three were never separated, the seven of you were together from an early age till the quartet were born."
"The clan bracelets wrapped around your wrist as you grew up were because she kept most of the traditions on your side of the line, and your uncles Josh and Daniel were, like me and Harry, your father's closest friends, as were Jack Denali and Joseph White, he grew up hanging around the reservation, because your grandfathers were close friends, because our families had been friends for three generations, we raised you as a member of the tribe from an early age, and with that, you were born into the tribe." he said and Leah answered him gently.
"The seven, the twins, the trio, Bella and me, we were the first of the pack to be born and we were together for four years, before the quartet were born, alright that makes more sense. Our memories faded by the time we were twelve and fourteen, if we'd just remembered this and got together nearly every night, her coming on to the reservation every day, mom when did dad retire exactly?" Leah asked and she explained that.
"When you were ten honey, son, here's something you need to know though, Josh left, because he also had the same lapse you did, exact same situation as yours is with the girls, it's not your fault, it happens more than you think, Harry imprinted on me when I was your sister's age as well, I'm also Makah, so it happens a lot, her role as a protector will help her find her mate later." Sue said and Embry looked at Sam at that in shock.
"You're not the only one, dad also had that situation as well, I'm half Makah and half Quileute, dad dealt with it too, alright dad imprinted on my mother, had an affair with her and I was born and he left to get his head together, it's not your fault man, it just happens, time to let go now and move on. We fix our family gang and you and Leah are the friends you're supposed to be after this." he said and she nodded with a slight smile.
"There a reason I had you guys guarding me at that age?" I asked and he nodded. "At that age you couldn't control your telepathic link and we could hear everything you were thinking, with the fact you were a toddler and a young omega, we named you our baby omega at the time, but our situations with you kids lead to us getting caught in the crossfire and we got hit several times while you were going at it as wolves." he said and I thought over what he meant by that, before it hit me and I started laughing at that.
"What, what's so funny?" Jared asked and I looked at him with a smile. "What's a situation most kids get into when they're alone in a tent and are supposed to be in bed for bedtime, especially when none of us want a nap or are ready to sleep yet?" I asked and the quartet thought it over and they started laughing. "That's what happened, our first camping trip when she was two I ducked the pillow just as you were sticking your head into the tent and she smacked you in the face." Sam said laughing and I nodded.
"I know I'm going to regret asking this, but what was the punishment for hitting you, wolf or human wise here?" I asked and he smiled as he answered. "You guys got tickled tortured, that particular day you hit me I was a wolf, so I suggest you keep that in mind if you and the boys start getting into a pillow fight, okay girls." he said and we both nodded as I remembered our term for it. "Wolf tickle, oh good grief, you used your tail to tickle us, alright that memory just came back now, your fur is soft enough to drive the victim crazy while you're tickling us." I said and he nodded with a smile as I exchanged looks with the quartet as we tried to keep from laughing at that.
"I can take a guess, that my abilities had an added side effect if I was irritated right?" I asked and he nodded, before he could answer Aunt Sarah's favorite figurine jumped off the coffee table, like it got possessed. "That's the side effect, I'm irritated or something pisses me off anything not nailed down is going to get thrown across the room or into the bedroom next, great Cullen was aggravating me during the first six weeks, out of his behavior, while I was with the quintet every day, till I let him have it for the attitude."
"This happens when I'm finally adjusting to being back with the pack again and our familial gang and it's going to get thrown into the bedroom next, if he starts hounding me about my family bonds with you guys, because the six of you are my family." I said and he nodded with a sigh and Jake looked at me, as he said it for him then.
"In that case you need to keep your temper as much as possible, you're just like us, we lose it we turn into our wolves, you lose it and it turns into a paranormal knife throwing contest, the last thing I need to see, before I phase, is that figurine getting thrown into my room, when nobody got a hold of it." he said and I nodded as I looked at Billy then.
"So I saw you like that all the time huh?" I asked and he nodded as he explained that to me then. "Josh, Daniel, Harry and I were the wolves who's legs you were hanging onto honey, you were used to it now, because you saw us phase more than once in front of you as a toddler, to help you remember, though you got a reminder with the boys."
"After you hit ten those memories started fading by the time you were twelve, when you stopped visiting before coming back last winter, you knew we were your father's trio, but didn't remember we were your family baby." he said and the guys and I exchanged looks of shock at that, as I thought it over as I remembered Harry and I knew I had to ask, if this meant I could save him I had to ask, because the emotional therapy was needed.
I knew this and if I had any chance of it I had to get Harry back and I felt the tears start running down my face as I asked the next question and used the title I hadn't used in years for Harry as Sam rubbed my back to calm me down as I tried to pull it together."Is there a way to keep Uncle Harry alive if I go back now?" I asked and he gently answered me as Seth and Leah leaned forward at that.
"So if she goes back now she gets dad to change his diet and get himself checked out, before he tries it again for real, since he's the adult version of me, and if the same rules apply here with your pack, dad's the paternal leader of our pack, alright I get it, when did the the hypertension start exactly, I know it was when I was seven Uncle Billy, and what was causing it?" Seth asked him quickly and he explained that, before he could Brady looked at him at that title then as he asked about it then.
"Alpha's third, alright now I remember why he was looking at you like that Sam, you were his current young alpha, but he was your paternal leader, is that it?" Jake asked and he nodded. "When Charlie called and said he couldn't find her, he sent the three of us into the woods and I found her, but, if I'd remembered who she was to me at the time, I'd kill Cullen myself for this, because this scared the hell out of our parents."
"Our parents reaction didn't make sense to the three of us when she went missing and her in that detached zombie-like state, they were all furious at this. But now that we got the truth it makes total sense now, we're a pack, cub pack, and to them, she was still their baby omega. But though we're teenagers and adults, to them we're still cubs, alright when we get that letter, our memories are coming back and we're always together, we just as act a familial gang till you guys are pack as well." he said to him.
"Paternal leader, I don't get it?" Brady asked and I explained that one to him. "Dad is the Alpha and Uncle Josh is the Beta Brady, if the Beta is not around the second in command is the alpha's third, which is what Harry was, with Sam's dad still in Ontario, the next in chain of command was Harry, because their grandfathers, and Papa Quil's father are the strongest in the pack, followed by the five of you, one left and the third in command ran the pack, if the pack was a young pack like ours is, since we're teenagers."
"His first role was second in command on the council and the role he had here, as a werewolf, is his secondary role, it's his job to lead in it is he leads the young pack by offering guidance to the young Alpha and Beta until they've got enough experience under their belts that they make their own judgement calls, he also acts as the paternal leader, being the father wolf to the young wolves as you get used to it." I said and he nodded as Billy smiled at that title I gave him, before he explained it to Seth then.
"When we're retired it's hard not to suddenly go wolf when there is a threat around, especially when said threat is pointed at someone you love like a daughter, niece or mate, and with that, he was furious at the condition your sister was in during those months, while she was recovering and was determined to make sure she stayed alive at all costs and he was determined to protect her, which is one portion of it and explains why he nearly shot the redhead when she tried to attack Charlie that day."
"The second portion was more serious and it was too much saturated fat and sodium, if we get him to change his diet, when we're reunited as a familial gang, he'll be able to heal up faster, before he tries to phase, but I'm making it clear his only position in the adult pack is running the lines and he's activating his position as the adult bodyguard with you and your sister son, because it's going to take more than a year for his heart to heal from that cholesterol level and I'm not risking a heart attack that soon after she arrives in that time." Billy said and they nodded and I answered him.
"With the fact I'm the only omega here in the past what's that mean if I tell you to reactivate?" I asked and he explained that. "You'd be the omega for both packs till your mother comes for a visit and then you lead your pack and she leads ours, but the parental quartet thing is getting taken into context here, with the fact you're around us, all the time, you better get used to it, since you're our responsibility as a minor if we're the ones taking care of you after school, if you're coming by my house every day after school ends with your friends at their basketball practice, and with that in mind."
"Our past selves, by that I mean Harry, Sue, me, and the council, are not going to take it well with what went on during your recovery period, before Carlisle moved back to the tri-county area, so if we, as your parental trio, give orders and a reprimand for those stunts you pulled young lady, expect the three of us to get testy, because your father and I were pissed when we heard everything, before the trip to Volterra, and the one we're giving you the riot act for is the cliff diving in the middle of a near hurricane with a homicidal leech on the loose and your brothers are not with you no less and the motor cycles as well, full debrief when you do that, don't leave anything out." he said firmly and I nodded as I knew dad was going to say the same as I answered him at that.
"You're the adult alpha then, if you look like Jake as an adult wolf, I'm doing what is needed, but I'm putting in several bits of information into the letter I give you guys to make sure he gets checked out before he tries it again after ten years retirement from active duty as a werewolf before Leah starts, especially when the cub of the gang and our pack is about to start too?" I asked and he nodded as he answered me on that with a smile as Sue chuckled at the way I put that as Seth rested his hand on my and Leah's arms as I smiled as I looked at my baby brother and I saw the little cub I knew then.
"What were the first three clues you got and remembered here at the time as you were cross examining him at the time?" Sam asked and I explained that to him. "I got the first when I started my first biology class, and my scent triggered his blood lust after stepping in front of the fan when it was blowing, number two I saw his eyes had gone from coal black to butterscotch, and I think he went hunting for several days before I saw him on that snow day we had, and the third was the car accident when Tyler ran into my truck that day and I saw him stop the truck by putting a hand out to keep it from running into me, I wound up meeting Carlisle that same day, and if you guys are there, be careful." I said and he nodded and Paul answered that his blue eyes gentle as he went into it.
"Alright we run this the same way, your first semester, keep track of every event that happened before you figured it out, but we're spending every weekend together, we need to get our bonds back into place the day you come home, first Jake and Billy, than Sam, me and Jared, we see each other the following weekend after the car accident, we're coming to get you and bring you to the hospital, we meet Harry there and you see the Clearwater's that same weekend and we reactivate our bonds completely from there, we start spending every weekend together, you come by the reservation after school."
"So with that in mind if there's trouble in school, I think you should come to the reservation every day till it dies down and spend the afternoon with the four of us, and you and Jake get your relationship booted up, before he phases and takes over alpha duties, in Cullen's case it's friendship or nothing, you're mated already, you couldn't care less what we are." he said and I nodded as I answered him.
"Money, looks, backgrounds, I don't care about, all I see is you, you guys are my family and I'm not letting go, if he forces me to choose, I choose you and will every time Paul, and I don't doubt he's going to make some remark about you in front of me and my father, dad hates discrimination, he says anything like that and he's getting the chewing out I should have given him, the day you told me what happened while I was at mom's house." I said and he and Jake nodded as Jake smiled dangerously at that.
"He makes that type of remark and Mike is going to push it to the point Cullen is completely ostracized, he hates him as much as I do for what your emotions were last winter." he said and I nodded. "Were you able to get that sense off him?" I asked and he nodded with a sigh as he explained it and shifted positions on the couch arm then.
"Yeah they came up to the beach every weekend after the Cullens left and I dropped by to find out and he filled me in, needless to say he was ready to tear a limb off for that, but I don't think he was expecting me to be the one you'd consider your boyfriend, before you admitted it, which explains the third degree he gave me the night I phased."
"I wasn't too happy that he interrupted our conversation, one of the side effects of the imprint is being a good listener, I'm everything you need me to be, which explains why you opened that vein for me and I said exactly what needed to be said at the time." he said and I nodded as I answered him, as I looked at him I decided on the next one, for the sake of our friendship and my friendship with the quintet now.
"If I'm going back to the first day back in school I'm being a normal teenager Jake, I'm splitting my time with the quintet and with the six of you honey." I said and he nodded. "Smart move, as long as you make it clear you belong to me, he's going to let it go, he prefers me to Cullen anyway, he's acting like a big brother as will the duo." he said to me and I nodded in agreement to that as Seth looked at me at that.
"Alright so when was the accident exactly?" Seth asked me and I went into it. "Two weeks into the move back, and the red eyes killed that construction worker." I told him and Jared answered that. "Knowing Uncle Charlie he's calling Uncle Billy and having us come get you, that's our window right there, we come get you to take you to the hospital and if Rose and Carlisle got the message as well we talk to them privately, before you debrief the three of us and the council." he said and Billy and Sue nodded in agreement.
"Yes, as soon as you get there, give a full debrief of the last eighteen months to them and the me from eighteen months ago and make sure he gets himself checked out at the hospital, we stopped going after Carlisle started working there, but my suggestion is getting that me and Harry to change protocols, so we get our plans into position the day you move back, and rearrange so we are the ones you're with and he can't screw with your mind that easily." he said and I nodded as I went to the next question.
"Dad tell you what my condition was when Sam brought me back to the house or the nightmares?" I asked and his tone turned dangerous as he answered me as Sam's eyes started blazing anger as he rested his hand on my leg. "Yes, whatever he was doing to you I suggest you tell me and the others in that debrief, because whatever it was-was enough to trigger some sort of withdrawal and you looked you'd been dosed with narcotics after I got a look at you when you came to see us, when you brought those motorcycles so he could work on them." he said and I nodded as Sue added onto it.
"If he did anything it was to keep us from telling what you are to us, honey, and I can guarantee if your mother knew exactly what happened she'd kill the bastard for doing this to you." she added and I nodded as I went to the next one as I looked at them "What are their weapons, aside from their venom exactly?" I asked and he quickly went into that. "One of them is a scent used to draw victims in, if you looked like you'd really been on a narcotic, the symptoms from it start wearing off within a few weeks of the last dose." he said and I nodded. "Does it work on a wolf-mate?" I asked and he explained it.
"No it doesn't, if you're around us all the time, it won't take hold at all, but that's the reason it hit you so hard, you were with them for close to eight months, you go back and be around us full time, and it won't affect you at all." he said and I went to the next question as I looked at my notes on my middle name, I had done no research on my origins, so I decided to go to my godfather's knowledge as I went into it.
"What's the real truth, I never looked up my middle name if you and Harry decided on getting involved in protecting me?" I asked and he explained it to me. "Your middle name means wolf, like I said you're half Quileute through Renee, I knew you were reaching the stage where you were ready to know the truth, because the betrothal contracts were getting ready to activate when Jake was sixteen and he phased, and Cullen saw this in my mind when he locked gazes with me the week before you wound up in that cast and that pissed us and your parents off to no end at the time."
"In truth he lost his mind when he heard the mental translation of the message we gave you through Jake and started driving a wedge between us, we don't want to lose you, but he knows he's dead once Carlisle finds out so he's lost his mind completely out of jealousy, by trying to keep you from spending time with us during the two months after they got back, before the newborn attack in the field, in trying to keep you away from us at the time, and it caused the friction between us and their coven as a result."
"You shift decisions and return to the day we came back into your life and we're getting you back that way, because once you tell him you're one of us, through blood and guardianship, he knows he's lost you for good, and with that, we tell your father the truth within three months before you wound up in that cast and we're taking time in making decisions, rather than rushing right into it." he said and I answered him, before I could though Leah turned to me to ask about it.
"Speaking of which what caused it exactly, dad was pissed at that, why didn't he consider calling us first, mom, Uncle Daniel and Sam would have intercepted you at the house and we could have brought you to the reservation?" Seth asked and I sighed. "He's been prejudiced against you since he moved back Seth, he's been like this for years, he sees you as nothing but a danger to me, had I known sooner or if you'd told me the day you came by the house dad, I would have spoken to you mentally to come meet me at the house that night, which explains why mom was pissed." I said and he nodded and Jared answered that angrily with a beyond annoyed look on his face at that.
"He's dreaming, we're not dangerous, he is, what was that novel about gangs and judging a book by his cover?" he asked and Jake answered that. "The Outsiders, well I didn't see that coming here, our tribal prejudices is the rift in the other side of the tracks argument in that story, but this is ridiculous enough without bystanders getting caught in the middle of it, we look dangerous and we're not, considering we got the body build of a skilled martial arts expert and football player, like the guys on the slightly destitute portion of Tulsa, and he looks like the rich kids on the west side of town."
"And with that in mind, we look dangerous, but we're protectors and decent people, he's got the look of a bookworm, but the statement, 'Cold blooded and dangerous' just took on a whole new meaning here, but that sums it up here, we're considered dangerous thanks to our looks, but we're not, while he on the other hand is our complete opposite."
"As to why, he doesn't look dangerous and he is, I'd call that a double standard in this crap, in which case, ours is the supernatural version to it with a bit of Romeo and Juliet thrown in there for good measure, if the guys in school say we're hall monitors on steroids, now that I know the reason for that, I'm ignoring that insult as of now." he said and I nodded in agreement to that as he leaned back against the arm of the couch by my side then as I leaned my head against his chest as Sam tried to keep from smiling, knowing our soulmate bond was falling into place as Sam took that and dug into it.
"Who's who exactly if we're dealing with that?" he asked and I sighed. "You're Darry or Dallas, Seth is Ponyboy, I'm Cherry, Embry is Soda, Jared is Two-bit and Paul is Steve, at this rate Edward just turned into Bob and Randy, before the murder, if he starts a fight in the emergency room I'm heading it off, before one of you turns into your wolf and exposes us completely, with my dad, Tyler and thirty five outsiders in the room with us." I said and they nodded as Jared looked at me with a smile.
"Any of you think this turned into a serious back history change now between us and the Cullens, as Cherry said there's only a few good Soc's in the other groups, in our case it's the same our good ones are the Cullens and their relatives, aside from the Jamaican leaches's mate, while our Socs are every red eyed nomad running around the country, the reservation's a little poor, we don't deny that, but we're not destitute, we got the money for camping equipment and just spend our time protecting the town and country line here up to Canada, Uncle Billy runs the sports store next door to The Newton family's store." he said and as that shot through me I answered that.
"You're a sporting good salesman Uncle Billy?" I asked and he nodded. "Yes, that's how we got most of the equipment needed for our camping trips every summer, whatever we needed, we did a swap and vice versa, for a discount in funds, but it was enough that the locals knew they could come onto the reservation if they wanted to, our generation grew up like yours did. After the car accident I retired from fieldwork, but I'm managing the office from here, while I'm running the council." he said and I nodded as I answered him.
"Yeah well truth be told I'm more like you guys than I thought now, dad's the county police department chief and mom's a kindergarten teacher, I don't need that type of money, I know they're rolling in dough, but I don't need everything given to me, I'd prefer to work for it, and with that in mind, recommendation, when I come home, is get dad to do double duty as the tribe police department chief as well." I said and he smiled.
"Not a bad idea Bella, alright if a vocal brawl breaks out, Harry's doing my negotiating for me, since he's my second in command till your father gets back son, we combine forces then as both tribes start working in hunting these red eyes down, you're our go between and Rosalie is your contact for their tribe and you're ours, if anything comes up in the third week back, that includes a fist fight in school, time to pack it in." he said and Sam and I both nodded to that order as I answered him.
"I'm getting sick of his attitude with you guys, so if he forces a dressing down, I'm giving it to him, in front of the entire school to get him to shut up and back off, if he starts hounding me about you, you're my life now, I'm not leaving the pack or the tribe I'm home and I'm staying with you." I said and they nodded with a smile as Quil smiled as he answered with a dangerous smile on his face.
"I'd love to see the look on his face if he tries that in the cafeteria when you're surrounded by the girls, Mike, Tyler and Eric, and he tries to do it when you're about to head for P.E. class with a quarter of the faculty in there and the kitchen staff is listening from the wash room by the dishwasher." he said and I smiled. " He does try that and I'm giving two examples of his social background before laying it on the table in our case, but public humiliation is needed here, if it's by death by humiliation, when in public." I said and Leah changed the subject as she tried to keep from laughing at that remark.
"What was the axe exactly, if it nearly took you away from us Bella?" Leah asked and I sighed as I answered her. "After learning he tried to kill himself, I went to Volterra, which is where the leadership is from, and met the trio, and they gave me a choice, death and they wipe out the town and tribe, or be changed, Edward said he'd only do it on one condition." I said and Colin asked the next question. "What was the one condition if you were rushing the engagement?" he asked and I sighed as I looked at my pack brother as I explained it to him.
"He asked me to marry him, I'd been holding it off for month after that day, before the newborn outbreak started and they reminded me I had to do it soon, and if I didn't they were going to kill you guys, my parents and the entire county. To protect you guys, dad, mom, the tribe and Forks, I decided to be changed, but I think he sensed what type of power I have, and that brings it to a simple question, how can I block out mind violations, but not input exactly?" I asked and he nodded as Sue answered that.
"Omegas have the ability to block out mind violations, but, for vampires like the two younger Cullens, they can still read things like playing with your mood or sensing your future, but everything else they do bounces off the shield you have in your mind."
"You can channel the packs strength and use it, so you're just as fast, strong skilled in combat as the kids are, and if they combine their strength and give it to you, you can easily take Cullen or his brother down with one blow to the head." she said and I smiled at that as Jake changed the subject as he summed up everything I told them then.
"Wait a second, Volturi, you said that Jasper had some sort of reaction and that caused Cullen to leave, would that reaction have anything to do with the scars in your arm Bells?" he asked and I nodded. "Yeah, Jasper was turned in the civil war, he didn't have the automatic animal hunting instinct that Alice and the others had, which explains that one and why he knows so much about the newborns, he was created in the civil war."
"What happened was I was opening up the envelope that had the flight vouchers for my trip to see mom and got a paper cut, he'd been a human hunter for two hundred years before finding Alice, so switching from human to animal blood is harder on him than the others, before Jasper could get to me Cullen pushed me behind him and knocked Jasper into the piano, but he shoved way too hard and I went flying and hit the glass table in the living room against the wall and the glass wound up in my arm, but that explains the scar it took ten minutes to get it under control and Carlisle took care of my arm."
"After that he decided enough was enough and decided to leave and took the others with him, I'm not sure what amount he gave me over that five month period, but it took four months to wear off and you and the guys took care of the healing process, I was already on the edge of choosing you and the pack, before the bastard decided to kill himself."
"Which explains the phone call interruption in the kitchen that night."' I said and he nodded to that. "Had it not been for the damn pheromone, you would have been around us the past year, I deal with healing you in the only way I can and that is by just being together, our relationship starts shifting from friendship to you becoming my mate."
"With the bastard back, it's not just us fighting over you, but the tribes as well, and just as we reach that point of no return, your memories come back, and you find your bracelet with the evidence needed to get you out of his clutches and back with me, you call me back and we get the added information here, alright to sum the first six months after he left and the last four here, so I know why you've been in recovery here."
"Alright, so the reckless stunts were due to the withdrawal and the withdrawal was from the pheromone, the guys, our parents and I were healing the damage, by you coming here every weekend after Charlie snapped you out of it, by using dad's omega, who happens to be your mother, and sending you to Jacksonville, and you were becoming a wolf-mate, before the bastard triggers a relapse and nearly kills himself by using the leach leaders to do it and it nearly kills you, but leaves an axe on your head as a result."
"If that hadn't happened and he waited a year, our imprint would be in place and I would have healed you completely, but he chose the day that we lose a member of our parental quartet, in our quartet, meaning you, me, Seth and Leah, to kill himself and it nearly kills you, Cullen and Alice, and you look like you been put through the ringer when I see you, and now, though we got one axe off your head with the red head and her army of red eyes, you still got the one by the Volturi, and now our spirits send a message to you, three weeks before the wedding and you're getting cold feet as a result of it."
"Alright so we were supposed to be friends and allies with the Cullens, and he torches that, by getting you away from us and keeping you from speaking to dad, for the previous twelve months, you suffer a withdrawal and turn into an adrenaline junkie which explains the bikes and the cliff-diving, scaring the hell out of me twice and I have to go in and get you out, she shows up and we have the duo phase at the same time, he spends two more months keeping you away from us and has Alice watching your decisions, you sneak out once, and I go get you after you learn he lied to you, again."
"Till we start resorting to split second decisions and I go get you twice and this is because you got an axe on your head and he's holding back the fact you're my betrothed and you're half Quileute, your family is the Alpha advisors, and you're a member of the tribe, on your side of the treaty line, you've got a baby and child's version of our clan bracelets, said bracelets have our family colors in it, signifying a family quintet here."
"Which results in you figuring out our families have been friends for years and our fathers were blood brothers, and then to top it off, you're our omega and your powers are getting out control without any training, because you didn't know till now, and it takes hearing it from dad to get everything after you get a mental phone call from Harry and then several messages from their wolves before you learn everything. The bastard is getting torched for this when I get my hands on him." Jake said summing it up with a furious look as I answered him as I looked at him over my shoulder.
"Was I getting these bracelets every summer?" I asked and they nodded. "As you got older we made one to fit your wrist, starting from when you were a year old till you were twelve, after you were gone for five years, but if you'd doubled checked right after they left and come straight to the reservation we would have healed the damage he did, before he came back honey." Billy said and I nodded and went into it as that made my decision, I was getting started the day he and Jake came to see my dad and me.
"Alright, we start the day you brought my truck to the house, from there we start getting together nearly every weekend, I'm being more open with my friends, but I'm acting like a normal teenager with them, but these fights were getting out of hand and with that, it was like I was really in the supernatural version of 'The Outsiders' the six months leading up to now, we need to keep you guys from killing each other, with you being my Romeo now and you're my gang, the tribe is where I belong and I'm not budging here."
"Especially not with my fifteen year old baby brother only just turning fourteen when I go back, I'm not letting him in the middle of it, because he's just beginning to get used to it now, and if he exposes Seth to that type of violence, before he's ready for it and exposes us completely I'm letting him have it and tearing a limb off myself here." I told him and his tone turned surprised at the way I put that as Leah started laughing at the way I put that as Seth tried to hold back a blush at that.
"I didn't consider that when you saw us around the bastard, but it answers the reason you said you were turning into Switzerland the first time you snuck out." Jake said with a smile and the gang started laughing as Billy answered that with a smile. "That why Jake said you were going neutral?" he asked and I nodded as I answered him.
"Yeah, and with that, we get it under control, before the first blowout, Rosalie wanted me to stay human, I tell her and she's going to agree with this, and join forces with you from the car accident and forward, and so will Carlisle, so my suggestion is you guys tell her bits and pieces if a fight breaks out in the E.R., after the car accident, we start from that day and move forward leading up to the day of the run in at the field, after we hit that night we change direction and that's it and I'm back where I'm supposed to be after that." I told him and he nodded as he answered me.
"Yeah honey, you change this path now, you can get the life you wanted, Cullen is not who you were meant to be with, Jake is, whatever your future self told you, follow the pattern leading up to that night you ran into the nomads, and from there I take over and you get the whole story, your father is getting the bomb dropped a year early though, screw the secrecy, it's time to do whatever is necessary to protect you guys. See you in a few days there honey." he said and I could hear the relief in his voice that I made this choice to come see them then.
"Should I tell Carlisle everything, because no doubt they're going to kill Edward when they find out exactly what he did and what he's been hiding from them?" I asked and he nodded as he answered me. "Yeah tell them the truth, I think we were meant to be friends rather than allies, but Cullen torched that bridge by doing what he did and with that, tell them everything, they need to know exactly the reason you came into their lives, because they were supposed to re-introduce you back into our world." he said and I nodded as I answered him by calling him the title I hadn't used in years.
"Alright thanks for the information Uncle Billy." I said and I could tell he nodded with a smile as he and Sue gave me a hug as we ended the conference between us. "Alright I said three hours, what time is it?" I asked and Billy checked the clock. "6'o'clock, it's been three hours, time to call back and let them know what I just told you here, because they're going to know this was no sudden decision but new future for them."
"Guys, Charlie knows about us, so expect him to fake the reactions when we tell him the side she hadn't yet, because Carlisle is going to be as pissed as we are when you tell him this, he doesn't know the truth here and when he hear it, they're all going to be pissed at this." he said and they all nodded as I answered him with a smile then.
"Dad, Uncle Josh is now active as well he's coming home in the next month." I told him and they all nodded with smiles. "So quick question here, why do I have brown strands mixed in with my black fur right now while dad is jet black?" he asked and before Billy could answer that Uncle Josh did it for him, through the link. "You're still a cub son, it's going to be five years, before you reach my color." he said and Sam nodded with a smile at that as Leah went to the next question on that.
"Do these love triangles always happen with the wolves?" she asked and he sighed as he answered her. "Not a lot, but I had the same lapse honey, I imprinted on Embry's mother, though I'd been married to Sally for fifteen years, I was so disgusted with myself I left to get my head together, I'd been retired for the last nine years since that day, so I wasn't expecting your sister to call me that fast, though I'm relieved she did."
"It's the only way to get me re-involved with the pack and I'm coming home, what's the decision baby?" he asked and I smiled. " I'm going back to that day Uncle Josh, I know everything and what you are to me now, I can't wait to see you again." I said and I heard the smile in his voice. "Good that's great, alright you better break it to Carlisle Cullen, he finds out and he's going to banish his first from the tribe when he hears everything here, just keep the line active for a while okay." he said and we nodded.
"See you soon dad." Sam and Embry called out together. "You too guys, Billy I'm reactivating my position, I'm beta again, I'm also filling in my original position on the council with you, Sue has Harry's spot, alright, who's got what spot on the council, especially if Renee comes back in the next month or so?" he asked and Billy explained.
"Your spot is covered by Sally, Anna is holding the Trueheart spot with Daniel working at the police department, Jessica is doing it for Elliot, and Papa Quil has the Ateara's family position, you come back now, and you and Sally are running your family spot together, in which case Renee, if her memories start getting rearranged, is going to get a shock when she realizes what's going on up here and we tell her what's going on." he said and I knew he nodded as Seth looked at him in shock as we tried to figure this out.
"How is it we can hear this when none of us are phased right now Uncle Billy?" he asked and Josh answered that. "It's been years since she put her gift to use, so it's going to amplify the connection we got till she gets it under control here, honey with the fact you reactivated it now it's bouncing from you to our wolves and back. Guys with the fact she's in the past, every change that happens is going to affect us, especially if one of her friends figures it out by accident on what we are, so keep an eye on that."
"So with that in mind, expect the added changes later okay, because what's coming is going to rearrange our memories, so expect them to get a massive jolt here okay, and young lady I saw the memories of your cliff diving alone when the quintet weren't with you with that leech on the loose, in Jake's head, through Little Reddy, try that twice and you're grounded for a month, understand." he said and they all nodded as I gave a nod to that order as Jake ended it as he turned to me with a smile then.
"Little Reddy, alright so my paternal wolf was called Red and I'm Reddy, because I'm the toddler version of your wolf dad?" he asked and he nodded. "You're the younger version of me in wolf form son, all of you were colored coded to our colors which explains that painting, in which case, expect it to hit your sons next, while your daughter has your ability honey." he said and I nodded. "I had a vision of a boy and girl, and my father and me living here on the reservation, alright so this was the reason for that vision, I was meant to come home now." I said and he nodded to answer that as Jake turned to me.
"You saw our future?" he repeated and I nodded. "Dad is it possible for her ability to trigger premonitions as well?" he asked and he nodded. "That's the added side effect, the vision was meant to point out it was her time to return to the tribe that day, but Cullen did damage to both of you and he's not getting away with it, our family is back in one piece now." he said and we nodded as I wrapped my arms around Jake tightly then.
"Come on we're going to your house and getting the sextet over to the house, so we can tell them the truth." Jake said to me and I nodded in agreement as I gave another hug to them and I heard Billy think to me, 'See you soon baby' and I smiled as I let him go and we got into his rabbit and the others phased into their wolves, though Seth and Leah were in the back seat of his car. "Alright times up, Edward she knows what you're hiding from us, her and your family, well the game is over now, get ready you're toast when this goes to your clan." Jake said with sadistic and dangerous smile on his face.
"That's the truth, I can't wait to see the look on his face when he realizes that she chose you and everything he tried to keep hidden from her is out in the open." Leah said with a dangerous smile. "Our family gang is going to be in one piece, our bond is being put back in place and I'm being the sister you need me to be till you get started." I told her and she nodded as I thought to myself gently, I had the truth and I was fixing the damage in my family now, I was a wolf mate and I was staying one for life now.
"I'm doing it, I'm changing my future, it's time to return to my cousins and family." I said to myself softly as Seth and Leah smiled softly and I knew they heard that than as I got on the phone to call my former sister in law. "Rose, it's Bella, I have a question." I said and she gently answered me. "What is it Bella?" she asked and I quickly answered that knowing she was going to be furious at this then she she heard it.
"How is Edward dealing with inviting Billy, Sue and Seth exactly?" I asked and her tone went annoyed as Jake hid a malicious grin at that as Seth and Leah smiled dangerously from the back seat. "He's not happy about it, but is there a reason for that?" she asked and I explained as I gave an order to her. "I need you and the quintet to meet us back at my house it's important Rose." I said and then heard the uncertain tone at that.
"What's going on here?" she asked and I sighed. "Rose just trust me, I got Jake home, but what we have to tell you guys is important and it's critical, so just trust me, please." I said and I heard her voice shift. "Is this the reason you told Alice to give you three hours and wait for you to phone us, you just the information he's hiding from us didn't you?" she asked and I nodded as I answered her. "Yeah I did, and it's important information you need to know, so with that in mind it's time you heard what he's not telling you, everything he's not telling, because you're getting your wish where I'm concerned and with that in mind I've made my decision so get ready okay."
"Get Carlisle, Esme, Jasper, Alice and Emmett, I need to tell all of you, because you're going to be furious when you hear the truth of this, and why Billy got so territorial and they were furious at you when it came to me, because it explains my physical state when you saw me finally after six months, my request of giving me three hours just finished I'm telling you what I learned, but get the others okay." I said and knew she nodded, as I felt the jolt of relief from her as I heard her call out and the intercom turned on then.
"Bella we're here, what is it, what's going on, did you learn anything from your research?" Alice asked me and I gently explained it to her. "I got some information that Edward's been hiding from you since I came into your lives and it explains the rivalries and hatred in their faces when it came to you, because I was the one they were really trying to protect here at the time, Billy was pissed, because I'm more than just his best friend's daughter." I said and her voice went concerned as she answered me.
"What's really going on here if you're saying it like that Bella?" she asked and I gave it to them, knowing they would kill him for this, before I could say it however, Seth took over. "Alice, listen to me, she's been holding in fifteen months worth of anger, from his taking off and taking you with him, and she's ready to blow here as a result of the last eighteen months, just get over to our uncle's house, so we can tell you in person alright." he said and I finished it with the next statement.
"Alice when you saw me coming before I moved back it was so you could re-introduce me back into 'this' world, the truth is I belong to Jake, I was supposed to be his imprint and his future betrothed, but Edward destroyed that, essentially Edward could have killed him, in both ways that day." I said and her tone turned shocked at that. "You're the betrothed of the alpha's great grandson?" she repeated and I nodded as I answered her.
"Yeah she is, I'm her intended Alice, what we're telling you here is what he's been keeping from you and when Charlie hears this he's going to kill, Carlisle with you being a doctor you need to know the reason she looked like she did when you saw her, so meet us when we get to her house, and keep him mentally blocked out, because his plan just fell apart." Jake said and I finished his sentence. "Could the six of you come here, I have added information and I don't want him interfering when he learns the jig is up, with the fact I made my choice." I said and I heard a whispered conversation at that.
"Alright we're coming, be there in a minute." Esme said and I nodded as couple moments later we got to the house at the same time they did. "Hey guys, good to see you." Jake said and the sextet smiled softly at the greeting. "Hey Jake, guys, Leah." Carlisle said and they smiled softly. "We just ended the hostilities altogether, but you're about to get the reason for why we hated him so much." Sam said to him and he nodded. "I'm not going to like what you're about to tell me, am I ?" he asked and I shook my head.
"Kid when did you get back?" Emmett asked gently punching him on the shoulder and he smiled playfully at that and he shoved him back. "Alright guys don't get into a wrestling here in the yard, we're all exposed here, whoever starts it is in a time out alright boys." Rose and I said together, before we looked at each other with a smile and Jake answered him questions, as I lead the group up the driveway and into my house.
"She called me home today actually, but it's a long story, and you're not going to take it well." Jake said as I unlocked the front door. "Alright what's going on exactly, if you said it like that?" Jasper asked me and I pulled everything from the information I had that Billy gave me out and waved them over to the couch as he, Emmett and Carlisle got a better look at me and their eyes narrowed in rage at what they could see in my eyes.
"What the hell, you look you finally broke down, what caused it, and does this have to do with what you're about to tell us?" Emmett added and I swallowed. "I've been dealing with losing Harry, just before you came back and it came out after I got the truth." I told him and he nodded as he gave me a hug. "What you learn if it has you this emotionally drained?" Rose asked and I pulled out the photos I had on me. "My father was in the woods when they were hunting Victoria and Harry was with him, Harry saw her just as she nearly got the drop on my father and she killed him through the heart attack and nearly broke his neck, as for the other portion of it, it's more than just paternal bonds."
"The truth is he's my uncle, more specifically he's a member of my parental quartet here, essentially nine months of anger held in because Edward left because of the accident, my uncle is murdered and I nearly lose three more members of who are my family, two by adoption and the last by love, which happened to be Jake, and it finally came out now, to make matters worse, what you saw in me then was that of dealing with a serious case of withdrawal, because of Edward." I told her and she nodded as she gave me a hug.
"What's the reason, what did you find out if it has you like this?" Carlisle asked me gently as he leaned forward slightly. "Evidently my coming into your lives was meant to re-introduce me back into our world again, because I left it five years ago and when I decided to move back and you saw me coming you misdirected it Alice." I said and she looked confused at that then. "What do you mean I misdirected, what's our purpose into your life now if you chose Jake already?" she asked and I took a deep breath as I said it.
And that's chapter three now, in the next one Charlie and the Cullens are going to hear the entire story of her life and background and Edward, starts becoming the bad guy after that, so get ready it's just starting here.
