Life Choices Remade
Warning: With this chapter, it's going to be another day, before he's back in school and things start speeding up from here.

Chapter 12: Abilities, Pack Revelations and Dinner
"I better get used to this with the adult pack now, they're all acting like I'm still that ten year old cub at the moment." I said to my father and he chuckled. "Say Charlie, what's your opinion to my being at the high school with her and Paul next term. I can be her teacher and she's got me as her adult protector now, if Cullen starts getting crazy jealous now?" Jack asked and he smiled at the idea.
"Thanks man I appreciate that, with us moving back on to the reservation soon enough, she's got the protection of the council and a representative of the junior council in the school with her. Billy what's this mean for her now exactly, if she's marrying Jake when they're in their early twenties?" he asked and he explained that to him, as he leaned forward as he explained that to him.
"With her being my daughter-in-law and god daughter, she's the daughter of the Quileute mayor and the future wife of the mayor. So any idiot in the high that self destructs because she and the class council reported them for cheating in athletics. But they do that and we find the evidence in the lockers and she winds up in the hospital if they attack it's a federal offense and it's going to get them expelled from Forks High school."
"Charlie, one of the side effects of being an omega was physical healing, she's able to heal injuries, both physical and spiritual. But for me and Harry, it's going to take a much more powerful omega to do it now, before I can go without my wheelchair after that." he told him and he nodded in amazement. "Renee, that's her ability, she was your spiritual advisor, in addition to your counsel?" he asked and Billy nodded as he explained that.
Before he could say it I heard a knock on the door and went to get it to find my uncle standing there and grinned. "Uncle Josh when did you get back!" I said in delight and he smiled and gave me a hug. "I put the speed on and decided to come and surprise you baby." He said smiling. "Hey Sam guess who just arrived." I called out and he walked in to find his father standing there with a smile and smiled at him.
"Hey dad welcome home." he said to him smiling and gave him a hug and he tightened his arms around him. "Boy you've grown, don't worry son, you both need me and I'm intending to help raise you both this way, is your mother here?" he asked and Sam nodded to him and lead him into the living room. "Mom, dad just got back." he said and she smiled then and got up and gave him a hug.
"Guys I think we better just drop the pretenses at the moment, tell him the truth now." I said and the quintet all nodded to that. "Adam, show your ankle bracelet to him." Billy said and he stood up. "Why are you calling him that?" Dad asked and I sighed. "Dad, look at his ankle bracelet, you remember our clan colors, well look at his now." I said and he nodded to that as he looked at it then looked at him.
"Adam?" he asked and he nodded to him and then looked at the sextet in the room with us. "Dad, my toy wolves are colored to their bracelets, when we called each other a pack that wasn't just a metaphor, they are my pack. Red, burgundy, sky blue, and navy blue, they were colored to my wolves." I said and he nodded. "When I said nothing was going to change I meant that, so Tala was colored to the Black clan, Sunny was to the Clearwater's, Smokey to the Uley and Brownie to the Trueheart clan."
"Okay now I get it Smokey, Brownie and Twister, that's you three?" he asked looking at Josh, Daniel and Elliot and they nodded. "Yeah, or more accurately to the boys Charlie, I'm Shadow, Sam is Smokey now, while Daniel is Brown and Jared is Brownie, as for Elliot, his cub form is Paul." he said and dad nodded to that. "Well that's the entire quartet now when's Eric coming home baby?" he asked and I smiled as I said it.
"He's coming home when I find our homicides actually, but eight out of nine, someone starts pushing it and he's getting torn apart and I mean that literally, the nine are werewolves and and here's the other truth to it. I ended up learning this truth in reverse dad, but I need to know, since you don't really mind, but what's this going to do for us, you and me, now that you're in on our secret?" I asked and he smiled as he said it.
"Our relationship was already strong, before I saw the guys like this, but you telling me now, I'm not letting go sweetheart, you mean everything to me and I'm not losing you to whatever the magical world has to offer, not yet, all I ask is you stay close. I'm not giving you up." he said and I smiled and gave him a hug and he tightened his arms around me. "I love you dad." I said to him softly and he answered that gently.
"I love you to baby, don't worry, learning the truth like this is easier to handle instead of them springing it on me, and don't try that if Jake ended up changing into his wolf when I thought I lost you." he added and the pack all nodded to him as I answered him. "If that's what he did and I'm smacking him in the head with my pillow for that, but there's a few things to this secret I didn't tell you." I said and the adult pack started laughing.
"Such as what exactly, I can take werewolves, but why the heck are the seven not coming or crossing the border exactly?" he asked and I explained that to him, before I could say it, Jared did it for me. "Well to explain that piece of it, what's a werewolves biggest enemy and they made a movie about it three years ago." He asked and dad thought it over and he looked at us in shock at that as he said it.
"You got to be kidding, that's why they never the cross the border, you guys are not feuding tribes, but feuding species?" he asked and they all nodded. "Yeah that's it exactly, fact of the matter is we were all hoping the Cullens weren't moving back and when they did. I was the first to phase and I dropped out of college last year as a result, the gene, our magic, only activates when there are vampires around." Sam said to him.
"That's why she came home actually, when we activated, as did she and she decided it was time to move in with you and live here. She's so much like you, like our fathers, she wanted to return to our parental pack, before she started school." he said and I finished his sentence. "He's right on every count, I knew what was going on, before I arrived, because Aunt Sally got in touch with mom, before I left for the airport that day."
"But I was intending to return to you and the pack and begin my portion of our familial legacy, by seeing the guys, before I encountered the Cullens, and as to why, it's because the Cullens are vampires. As to that, so if Edward starts giving me a hard time over this it's because I'm marrying into my tribe and he's crazy jealous and is beyond prejudiced against my tribe because they're wolves." I told him and he nodded to that.
"Well to repeat what I said, I'd rather have a werewolf for a son-in-law than a crazy jealous vampire. Guys nothing is going to change the way I see you, you're my brothers we stay a pack, though I'm a human werewolf now." he said and they smiled at the wording. "You really honestly don't care what we are, or that my cousin is a human werewolf herself?" Anna asked and he shook his head.
"No Anna, I don't care, we've been friend for thirty years, nothing is going to change our bonds at all, you're my in-laws, we stay the friends we should be. I'm part of the pack now. So all those times I thought you disappeared and you were the wolves in the campsite, well I see why she reacted like that to you in hanging on to your front leg for a ride." he said and they chuckled at that and nodded to him.
"Yeah as for the reason for that, with her seeing us like this at such an early age, to her we're not dangerous at all, because she's getting a chance to see us as she remembers us, vampires are more dangerous. But for your sake the three rules to follow here where werewolves are concerned: we start losing our tempers and start shaking, get twelve feet out of range, second though we're human, we have a fast healing ability now."
"As to why, it's because the gene activated an added chromosome in us and we heal faster than normal humans, so if one of us winds up with broken bones, or just deals with a knife and catching it by the blade, don't panic. And three expect us to be faster where hunting is concerned and I'm making this an added order man, and with that."
"I'm putting this like what's been going on lately since the three of us have been going hunting in the woods lately, but when we go tracking in the woods, and you hear me give you three growls and a whine, followed by my nudging you back with my head, I'm telling you to get out of the woods, you can't hear my translating that, but I'm saying, 'get out, don't argue with me, just go'." Elliot said to him and he nodded to the request.
"So what's the catch with Carlisle exactly, what do I need to learn around him, since he's helping me with murders?" he asked and I answered. "Well in this case with them being like a normal vampire, though they're gold eyes, their strength and blood lust I'd still see a danger, though Carlisle has had three hundred years to control it. So with that: never leave exposed blood lying around, two never leave your neck exposed, by that I mean I mean your throat, it's like shoving a white hot branding iron down their throat."
"And three, if there is exposed blood lying around, I recommend using bleach or rubbing alcohol to mask the stench. Before you ask how I know this, it's because in my other life I was around the sextet full time and I'm used to it. Though I was sick of a couple things and I'm more free to be really physical with my soulmate now." I said and he nodded to that. "Alright if they're acting normal, strength, speed, and five to six more indications, alright don't tell me that's part of your training as an omega right." He asked me softly.
"As the new omega and with mom still out of town, I'm doing both age groups dad. So I'm completely protected, but I'm liason for the Cullen tribe. To put this gently, they're not the ones hunting humans, they hunt for sport and food, hunting game in the woods. Our homicides are the ones hunting humans, you see the color of Carlisle's eyes when you see him when you bring a drunk to the hospital?" I asked and he nodded and I went further. "Yeah I did and why are their eyes like that exactly." he asked and I explained it.
"Animal blood has less hemoglobin than human blood does, so to them it's able to change the color of their eyes, from blood red to the color you see in Carlisle's eyes now. Solid Amber, near butter scotch, means they're animal drinkers, blood red means they're human drinkers, our trio are the secondary category and that explains the puncture wounds in the neck you've been finding." I said and he nodded to that.
"Thanks for the tip baby, I'll keep that in mind." he said and I nodded to him as Josh looked at him. "The other things here, that though they hunt animals, exposed blood is still a danger, so if you're working on something, and have your hunting knife lying around be careful will you, dad and I'm serious. Exposed blood causes a feeding frenzy, and I haven't learned every skill needed for this yet." I said and he nodded to me.
"The other truth here Charlie is I'm Embry's father, I imprinted on his mother sixteen years ago and though I kept up my responsibilities, I couldn't take the guilt I broke Sally's heart and left to get my head together. My youngest girl cub was my only chance to heal up and now that our family is back in one piece, there's enough of our bloodline, the Uley/Trueheart/Marquez clan that you and Bella can move to the reservation." he said and dad nodded to that.
"Dad I got a question, but what's the deal with these imprints, I love the girls, but I can only have one mate, how can you do this?" Sam asked and he sighed. "The imprints are tough to figure out son, you'll always love Leah, but with the fact she just told us certain information. You can love her in the right way once she imprints on her own mate later on next year." he told him and Sam nodded to that as I went for the next question.
"Mom said the imprint doesn't care who they choose be it teenager or child, let alone a toddler, because Quil imprints on Claire later." I told him and Sam covered his eyes at that. "If that's not cradle attraction nothing is right now, but that's the sickest thing I've ever heard of." Paul said in shock and I nodded in agreement to that. "Your mother is right baby, half the time it chooses women from the next reservation over, pale faces or your own tribe and others it doesn't care who it chooses." Billy told me and I sighed.
"Was I who Jake was supposed to imprint on rather than anyone else?" I asked and the quartet all nodded. "Yeah you are honey, our families were meant to become one when Quil the second made that prophecy. At the moment your prophecy gets started as soon as you come into contact with these red eyes baby. But until then let's just prevent the little brat from testing your temper anymore than it is already." he said and I nodded.
"I'd hate to be the poor idiot who pisses you off at the moment, you guys are the size of a rhino and the boys are the size of a lion or horse." I said to him and they chuckled at that. "At the moment since I got back, I've got the five of you back on the bed now and the quartet blocking the window seat." I added and he smiled at that. "Looks like everything we gave you just got yanked out of storage now huh?" Jack asked smiling.
Before I could answer him, the doorbell went off a second time and he went to get it and a minute later walked in with an adult version of Quil right behind him. "Hey Eric welcome home!" Dad said smiling and he smiled as I walked over to him and gave him a hug. "I'm glad to see you Cocoa." I said and he tightened his arms around me smiling. "How did it work with getting the information regarding phasing exactly?" I asked him and he smiled at me as he said it.
"Went without a hitch, it's been about a week, but I got it down to a science now, guys I found a way for us to phase without destroying our clothes in the process. Though we remove the boots, we can leave our clothes on and they melt into our fur when we phase into our wolves." Eric said and they nodded to that as dad looked at him. "Eric I want to see you as Cocoa, so I know what expect when little Cocoa gets started." Dad said to him and he nodded to that as we went outside and he phased in front of us.
Looking at him, I saw a wolf the size of rhino with chocolate, near dark, chocolate brown fur and blue eyes and I smiled and wrapped my arms around his neck and he started purring loudly and dad chuckled as I answered the purr. "Love you too, Uncle Eric." I said and he nudged me in the shoulder with a smile in his eyes. "Cocoa, Shadow, Brown, Stripes and Storm. Okay so that's you, Josh, Daniel, Elliot and Adam."
"Reddy, Orangie, Val and Goldie, that's you, Billy, Jack, Joe and Harry, alright I got it. Like I said I don't care, if Cullen asks me that question when we got outsiders in the room with us, I'm making it clear, you're my friends, my pack, by marriage, and I really don't care what you are. And I'd rather have a werewolf for a son-in-law than a crazy jealous vampire who's turning into a stalker and worse." Dad said to him and he nodded.
"Nothing changes and nothing's going to change where I'm concerned, but I found out in reverse dad. Alright hang, Papa, Mama, Uncle Levi, now!" I called out and a box appeared in front of us. "What is that?" Jared asked and I explained that to him. "Chapter One of my storyline to you guys of why I chose to return to the past. This is actually the story of what happened to me, before I got the exact truth, with the fact your future selves, and I, never remembered who we are to each other at the time."
"At the time when I was dealing with the alternate timeline, before I returned to the past, I had no memory of you guys, and I never remembered who your parents were to me, though my skills as an omega had resurfaced and I put the seven into cross examination. But the ending results were Cullen fell in love with me, and then nearly got me killed, you have to see this now, that letter I sent you was because I decided I was changing the future by returning to the past and change everything that these books were playing out." I said as I removed the wrist cuff and showed it to him.
Looking at it, Sam gently took my wrist and his eyes narrowed in a fury I've never seen as I heard a furious growling coming from Josh then as he said it with a growl. "You got bit, but who did this!" Josh said with a furious look on his face. "Our trio of homicides, you remember the attack you headed off when the five of us were Cubs. By that I mean 10 to 12 years old, before you retired?" I asked and they all nodded to angrily at that.
"It happened finally when you were 17, Beth was gone and he exposed you to our current trio, without us, you were exposed?!" Josh said with a furious growl and I nodded. "I'll debrief you next week, but this book explains how I learned about the Cullens. Your message to me was you were watching me Uncle Josh, when he landed me in the hospital, I barely survived the attack and you're reading about that in this book."
"The Cullens saved my life, but Cullen himself is a menace to me and the safety of the entire Olympic peninsula now and once he realizes I've chosen the monster I want, a werewolf, my werewolf no less, let alone my pack. Once is enough, after they took off on me, in my timeline, I came to you to protect me after that. But I had an axe on my head by the Volturi, be turned or they'd kill everyone I love." I said and they nodded to me.
"How bad was the damage Cub?" Eric asked and I sighed. "Broken leg, laceration to the back of the head, touch and go to my spleen, stab wound to my leg with a piece of glass and it nailed an artery and the last was that bite mark on my wrist. In order to base this with my friends if they see me in the shower in P.E., it's telling them that I, that we, got attacked by a bunch of junkies 7 years ago." I said and the nine all nodded to me.
"Nice subterfuge, because that's enough every adult in hearing range that hears that conversation is going to react like we did and go right for over kill in this case. But if this was why we decided we weren't risking it and Billy told you, we told you, that you were forbidden to speak or consort with Cullen himself. Than it's enough we'd kill him for nearly getting you killed at the time with all four positions aside from Alpha's fourth."
"That's why you chose to change the past though, prevent them from ever finding out you know their secret?" Eric asked me with a gentle growl and I nodded. "And you're more human than he is, breathing, heartbeat, I'm half werewolf, you're fully one. And I chose and choose my own species. You're safer to be around then he is, you raised me, I don't have to be cautious with you, because everything about you, I know the rules."
"But he's going to do anything he can to change my mind and even go so far as break the treaty." I told him and they all started growling dangerously at the news. "I made my choice, I chose you, you got to me first now, by the barbecue last weekend. So game's over now, and the first thing in his case is the third degree inquisition now." I said as I thought it over and then said it to my invisible relatives then at that.
"Better yet, I need the movie for this one guys." I called out and a DVD appeared in front of me and he picked it up as his eyes narrowed in anger. "I'm seeing the extent of the attack on you in this movie, but the book leaves the grisly details out of it. I'm seeing the amount of damage that leach does with this movie." Jared said dangerously and I nodded as he wrapped his arms around me protectively and I burrowed into his arms.
"Did I lock gazes with the bastard?" Billy asked and I nodde. "Yeah, and he saw everything, in fact, he mind raped you dad. To him you're nothing, but a danger to me, but you couldn't be more gentle with me and you're not dangerous by any stretch of the imagination. You have the control he doesn't, you're not attracted to blood, human or otherwise, and you'd never hurt a human unless a human hurts another human."
"As to that I'm safer around you than I am around him, and frankly Rose wanted me to stay human, not give this up, and now that I know the reason why. The wedding is off in that timeline and I chose to return to the past, get the duo back on duty and get your pack in one piece, you have the training to do this without getting killed. With these leaches, because both stories you told me the night of the bonfire come into it." I said and Quil answered that gently as he looked into my eyes.
"What two exactly?" he asked me softly and I looked at my brothers and their parents. "The meeting of the cold ones and Taha Aki and the Third Wife, both of those ended up in my meeting the Cullens and being re-introduced back into our world. But it went one further and resulted in killing forty five people, because twenty of the forty five, missing or dead, ended up as the redhead's newborn army." I said and they all nodded to me.
"What's in the treaty if you're reacting like that?" Dad asked him and Harry answered that with a furious look on his face. "Our grandfathers and her grandmother made a treaty with Carlisle a 100 years ago, the key point in the treaty was if they bit a human, the treaty was off and they were either being annihilated or banished from Olympia and if they came back, it's over with and we're destroying them no matter what."
"Cullen is turning into an incubus out of jealousy and our fifteen year old alpha is her rightful imprint, unfortunately for him, she's made her choice, it's not turning into a tug a war, because the betrothal contract is signed and sealed. She's made her choice and chose us, we got to her first, before he laid eyes on her. Our future selves told her the truth, what memories she had of us faded by the time she came home in her timeline."
"And he was trying to prevent that knowledge from coming out till my soul contacted her through the void and she came to Sue and Billy for the rest of it and she chose to return to the past." he said and Dad nodded to that. "So my daughter ended up in her seventeen year old body by choosing this and every injury you took in that timeline is now ending up on you in this one, but whatever sequence we got the injuries are getting replaced by normal ones now that you made your choice." he said and I nodded to him.
"So where's the story starting from in the debrief if you're telling the twelve of us next week baby?" Eric asked me with a gentle growl and I explained that. "With this one you're reading about what happened when I found our homicides, part two is when I found out, by seeing you guys phase in front of me. By that I mean you and Jake, Paul, that you're the wolves I saw in the meadow, but chapters two through four is the consequences of my being involved with the bastard." I said and he nodded to that.
"I must have lost my temper if you saw that, but like you said, when we lose it and get twelve feet out of range or you're likely to get clawed by accident. But I'd never hurt you Bella, you mean the world to me sis." he said and I nodded and wrapped my arms around his neck smiling and he tightened his around my waist gently, as I pressed my forehead to his and Twister started purring at that gently and I heard a chuckle.
"Yeah I know, but an issue of this is I thought he'd been initiated into a cult, but whatever alpha order you gave him, he found a way around it to tell me by getting me to focus on the stories he told me. But what this resulted in was a memory I forgot, when Uncle Josh was still active, my memory reflected back to our camping trip when we were five and all I remember was a set of blue eyes sitting there looking at me from across the campsite." I said and they nodded to that explanation as Josh said it for all of them.
"I'm a jet black furred wolf, okay that's perfect sense. His getting around the gag order, shoved a memory you didn't remember forward till your memory focused on me when we were still active. I'm jet black in the dark, you can't see me except for my eyes, it's the same for Eric, we're the darkest furred wolves in the pack. Alright so any person hunting around the campsite or is just trying to stay hidden isn't going to see us, till they trip right over us in the woods." he said and Billy finished that gently.
"That's an understatement and I tripped right over you while heading for the bathroom in the camper when we were taking shifts, in case a grizzly bear walked into the camp Josh." Dad said and I started laughing at that as Billy's answered that with a bemused look on his face. "So with the Cubs that aren't active yet, the sextet, the gag order is no one outside of our council pack is allowed to know the truth, though we're showing the quartet tomorrow after school." he said to him and Sam nodded to the order
"Aunt Sue, Aunts Sally, Anna, Jessica, I need you and Emily at the debrief, what I have to tell you involves a mortal situation that involves cop protection, because I barely miss getting it." I said and they nodded as dad's eyes narrowed dangerously at the wording. "Cop situation, are we talking talking those little assholes, the P.A. department are still looking for baby?" he asked and I nodded and the nine started growling angrily at that.
"Lucky thing we got back when we did, we can spot rotations between us till we find our homicides." Josh said and Eric nodded in agreement to that. "So what's the chain of command here exactly with you guys?" Dad asked and Billy explained that. "I'm alpha, Josh is beta, Harry is third, Daniel four, Eric is five, Elliot is six, Jack is seven, Adam is eight and Joe is nine. Though with Beth living on the Makah reservation now."
"She doesn't have an alpha's fourth protecting her till Leah phases next spring." he said to him and dad nodded to that. "So the alpha's fourth is a she-wolf?" dad asked and he nodded. "Yeah dad, their pack had ten, mine has twelve, including me now, but Jess doesn't start for four years, my personal bodyguard is a she-wolf, the girls are faster than the boys, but it's like gymnastics, and martial arts."
"With the men you got the strength in the upper body, but the girls are faster because we got the agility and stamina. But the Clearwaters were chosen by the quartet, our grandparents, to be my personal entourage now, you don't have to worry, I'm completely safe with Uncle Harry once he starts again and then once the duo start. I'm completely safe, but the omega is the pack's entire world, they'll protect me with their lives."
"With my pack being young adults and teenagers, the adult pack chose the work hours so we can concentrate on school now. But that's why Uncle Jack is transferring to FHS and with him, Paul. On top of a normal restraining order, you have council pack protection in the school with me next semester." I said and he smiled as he got it.
"I'll take that protection guys, Jack with you being her teacher, take care of her for me." he said and Jack nodded to that smiling. "I'll protect her with my life, Charlie you have my word. You want to see us when on duty now?" he asked and dad nodded and the sextet walked behind the trees and then came out and I saw three adult versions of my brothers and little Orangie standing there in front of me and hid a smile.
Before I could say it I felt something nudge me in the back and turned to find an adult version of Paul standing behind me in wolf form then. "What the devil, Uncle Elliot, I thought you couldn't phase yet." I asked and he gave a gentle chuckle. "With the entire pack back together, Storm decided to try and it worked, we're back on full strength now." he said and I nodded as I looked at my quartet who also phased and moved next to their adult versions and dad smiled at that as I gently scratched the fur on Elliot's head and he started purring loudly at that and he started laughing.
"Well that explains explains the collars on your wolves, it's really the nine. Well with the fact I know the truth in reverse here, Cullen is not getting anywhere with me if he starts getting possessive of you in this case. Billy why do you have the body of football player now, if these kids in the high school say you're hall monitors on steroids here?" he asked and he chuckled as Harry answered that question.
"Once our bodies hit puberty, if we got a vampire roaming we start taking on our college look athlete stage making us look like a bunch of martial arts experts and athletes. To outsiders we're looking like we're on steroids, but it's the gene, so once we got a vampire coming into town, than we phase and we're now looking like we're twenty five in human years, but it's one hell of growth spurt in the process." he said and dad nodded.
"Embry, Jake and Quil are in the early stages of it, but with things like they are, the kids can train with us and the secret among the pack, is no longer secret. We're pack brothers and family now. So the relatives of the wolves in the family are the only ones who know and at the moment Sue is the only one in my family who knows till my kids phase next spring." he said to him and he nodded to that.
"Speaking of martial arts, dad did you learn basic training when at work at the time?" I asked and the trio nodded. "Well there's my vice, I'm half werewolf myself now and I need to learn to defend myself now." I said and he smiled at the wording. "Wait, being a werewolf means becoming more athletic, did them phasing just add on to your gene, if you're their omega? He asked and I nodded as I decided on a demonstration.
"Yeah watch this." I said as I then moved back and then in the running took a ten foot jump as Harry threw the football to me and I caught it and took a forward flip, before landing on the lawn with a smile then. "Whoa, that's pretty amazing honey." he said and Sam moved to my side with a smile in his eyes. "Yeah well get ready, with the gene activating me as well, I'm about to turn into our version of the original pink ranger."
"Though the guys are my pack, I'm becoming stronger, faster and more athletic, the clumsiness when I was cub is gone, because when the pack activates as does the omega and we can channel their strength and we become as strong and as fast as them and the vampires. I'm running with my pack now and my life is protecting our territories all the way up to the Canadian border." I said and he nodded as he saw the pride in my eyes.
"So for now it's just the four of you till Embry phases and when he does the sextet are getting the truth as they look forward to their phasing days as they see their fathers like this, is that it?" he asked and I nodded to him smiling. "Yeah that's it, but the pack is family now and we're pack brothers and sisters, while I've got mom's pack as adoptive uncles, and, in the case of Uncle Billy, my father-in-law." I told him and he smiled.
Before he could say it the seven arrived then and I smiled. "Hey guys!" I called out and they grinned and walked over to me. "Whoa, when did the trio get back exactly?" Seth asked smiling and his father chuckled. "They just got back tonight actually son, kids there's something we got to tell you here, but before we do, get a good look at their ankle bracelets." he said and the quartet looked at their bracelets then at their fathers.
"Dad, is that you?" Colin asked and he nodded. "The adult pack is really our fathers!, Geez, alright if you're my adult version then which one are you dad?" Quil asked and Eric moved to him and nudged him in the shoulder. "Cocoa, Shadow, Brown, Storm, Stripes, Val, Reddy, Goldie and Orangie. Okay so that's dad, and Uncles Josh, Eric, Harry, Jack, Daniel, Elliot, Joe and Adam." Jake said and Harry nodded to him.
"You're my adult version dad?" he asked and Billy nodded. "I am son, the way I phrased that was literally when you asked me that on Monday. I'm the adult reddish brown wolf son, you're my cub form when you start next winter. Once your mother-in-law heals my spine, I'll show you. But this is a family council secret now okay kids." he said and they all nodded as Leah looked at Sam.
"Sam, that you babe?" she asked and he nudged her in the shoulder and she gave him a hug. "Leah, I'm sorry, but though we couldn't stay together. I want to stay friends and I can be your pack brother now." he said with a gentle growl and she nodded. "Friendship and pack family, we're pack, and we stay pack, yes alright, I accept that and I forgive you." she said and wrapped her arms around his neck and he wrapped his head around her shoulder and started purring softly.
"Baby, did you know this already?" Jake asked me and I nodded as I looked at him smiling. "You got to me first, before I saw the Cullens, the bonfire, our family get together last week. I belong to you, and with that fact in mind, everything you would have told me if it was in reverse doesn't need to be said Jake, I never have to change for you, you can give me everything he can't and we stay together forever."
"And with those words, the games up where Cullen is concerned, I'm yours, now and forever. I choose you, the pack, and our family, I don't care what you guys are, it doesn't matter to me I love you Jake." I said and he grinned at that, lifted me up and swung me around. "You really, honestly don't mind, that I'll turn into an oversized wolf?" he asked and I shook my head. "No I don't care, it's not what you are, but what you do."
"Our job is to protect people and we do that, but our betrothal contract starts the day you phase and I'm moving to the reservation seven months in advance after we find our homicides. Here's the thing though, the Cullens are never going to break the treaty and by that I mean the sextet. Though Cullen himself is the enemy, starting now and I'm engaged already and I belong to you, which I told the duo that in school already."
"Though the Cullens are not the problem here though, the reason you're about to start phasing is our trio of homicides guys. They're red eyes." I said and the five all nodded to that. "Red eyes, what's that mean exactly?" Colin asked and Billy explained that. "Our killers are human drinkers Colin, gold eyes mean they hunt animals and by red eyes she means they hunt humans, which explains the fact we've had five deaths in the side of six weeks." he said and they nodded to that as Leah looked at him.
"These red eyes touch my sister I'm killing them again myself here. Alright if we're her pack, what is she to us exactly anyway?" she asked and I answered that. "Already everybody down!" I said and they all sat down in the grass as I went over it with them. "I'm your omega Leah, what that means I'm your female alpha, your pack leader. Your alpha, when the five of you phase, is Jake, okay." I said and she nodded to that gently.
"Alpha, alpha and omega, of course, Jake's the rightful alpha, once he phases, Sam takes the beta position. Our conversation the night of the minor playoffs, dad mentioned our ranks within the pack. But the pack is the council of elders in addition to the protection of the entire Olympic peninsula, but our enemies are red eyes, though we ally ourselves with the Cullens, we're meant to protect all humans from these predators."
"But to get this rolling you guys, Jake is Alpha, Sam Beta and I'm alpha's third. After that the leadership are as follows in our pack, but you're her bodyguard Leah, alpha's fourth, Quil is secondary beta, Jared is fifth, Paul is sixth, Embry is seven, Colin is eight, Brady nine, and Jesse is ten." Seth said and I nodded to him. "Yeah exactly Seth, you got it right, but you and Leah are my bodyguards, your family was taxed with my protection, both from Cullen and others." I told him and he nodded to that as he looked at Harry.
"Is that the positions you have dad, guys?" he added, looking over his shoulder at Harry and Harry nodded. "Yeah son it is, but I've got two months, before you see me as your adult version. Honey, you're her personal bodyguard and that was your Aunt Jeanie's position with Renee, our pack had eleven, you went one further and had twelve. But the leadership is the council, as the junior council, not only do you run the reservation."
"You're in charge of helping the Cullens with defending the peninsula from the red eyed leaches, but our territory is from here to the Canadian border and Seattle, Port Angeles and Tacoma." he said and they nodded as they exchanged grins at the news. "Well if we're a team looks like it's time to change things boys. Our pack is family and our omega is living on the reservation soon enough." Leah said and they nodded to that smiling.
"Leah once we get started, whatever the rest of this truth is, once you reach your phasing day, you, Quil and Seth, meet us at the cliff where we go cliff diving and we're intercepting whoever it is that targets her." Jake said and she nodded to the orders. "Speaking of which, if I'm doing that for the next few summers I'm better off with you guys teaching me how to do this safely and I'll explain why later Jake." I said to him and he nodded to that as he looked at the box sitting next to us and looked at me.
"I take it that's the entire truth if whatever you're not telling me explains that bite mark on your wrist babe?" he asked and I nodded. "Yeah, Jake it is, but this me you know is from a different timeline and that box, holds the first of three chapters to explain things to you, if Cullen hadn't just pissed off the entire adult pack now." I told him and he nodded as Seth ripped the tape off the cover and opened it and we saw thirty books inside it with the image of Edward's hands catching the apple I knocked off the cart.
"Twilight, alright, let me take a guess, but this explains that bite mark and everything that happened that lead you to needing to see me, before he gets to you like that correct?" Jake asked and I nodded and they nodded as he grabbed his and his father's and put them on the grass next to him. "I find out whatever else that bastard did to you, and I'm killing him again." Seth said with a growl and Jake nodded in agreement.
"Alright you fuzzball, watch the language Sunny." I said to him and he chuckled. "Alright so that's my nickname, I'm Sunny. You're Reddy, Jake, Sam is Smokey, Jared is Brownie, Paul is Twister, Leah you're Sandy, Colin, you're Copper, Quil, you're Candy, Embry is Hurricane, Jesse is Little Orangie, and Brady you're Patch, if we're colored coded to our father wolves guys." he said and Brady looked at me smiling.
"Goldie Junior." Seth said to me in response and Quil, smiled. "Then tonight we name ourselves, so you're Goldie Junior, my name is Cocoa. When just us, but with the adult pack, I am Little Cocoa as Uncle Charlie calls me. As that's 2, Jesse is Little Orangie, Brady you're Patch, and Colin, you're Copper. And as Bella named Leah, wolf name of Sandy if she looks like teenage version of Aunt Beth." he said and Leah nodded smiling.
"Why do I feel like our parents bought you our entire pack in toy wolf form in case your memory faded Bells?" Brady asked and I chuckled. "Because they did, but those are the names I gave your stuffed counterparts. And I chose your wolf aliases for you, before you started for real Brady, but 9 of 11. All that's missing from my collection are you and Embry, Leah, so there you." I said and she nodded to that as she said it smiling then.
"Well we can take care of that for your birthday, you get your entire pack in the bedroom with you when asleep, though it's our stuffed counterparts that's fine. I can't wait to see the look on his face when he sees that we're cub versions of our parents. And you reveal that the guys will be our fathers in thirty years." she said laughing and the guys nodded in agreement as they looked at their adult versions smiling.
"Though if our spirit wolves possess our stuffed counterparts, it's going to turn into a zoo in the bedroom later." Quil said and she started laughing at that. "No kidding and I found that out the hard way Quil, your grandfathers came and possesed the six of your miniature versions when I sent a message back to your future selves here." I told him and Harry and Billy exchanged looks at that.
"You went into conference with our grandfathers when they possessed our stuffed counterparts the other night, was that how managed to get your hands on these books?" Billy repeated and I nodded to him. "Yeah I set that up in advance when I went into council with your grandfathers. Chapter two is at the birthday party at Carlisle's house, chapter three is just before we go into battle training to wipe out the army that the mate of the one that did this created. You and Carlisle decided on protection detail."
"And the council made an agreement with the Cullens about protecting me, but that agreement results in him and Jake fighting over me and it's not just the duo fighting over me but the tribes, till I make my final decision and he rips him apart, emotionally, when he bring it up when Jake barely out of earshot and number four is just before that timeline coverges with this one. Though I chose to change the past to fix this." I said and I sighed as Jake wrapped his arms around me gently as I looked at my pack then.
"To answer the unasked question that convergences comes up three weeks before the wedding and once it does, your future selves are having your memories rewired to catalog the new situations by this jump to the past. But what I will say is that we're not telling him he's been had till the intervention the night of the baseball game and with those words, Uncle Eric, Uncle Harry." I said and they nodded as they got ready for it.
"I want you guys at the field till you see the trio then intercept with Uncles Josh, Daniel and Elliot and the guys at my house. Because his plan to protect me nearly results in getting me turned into one which explains this and my leg and you're seeing the extent of the damage when Carlisle becomes my PCG later." I said and they nodded to that.
"Your leg, this parasite breaks your leg, I see this monster and I'm tearing him to shreds!" Quil said through a furious growl as the quintet started shaking in anger and I quickly said it. "Alright all of you calm down now, at the moment we're in a lull, but the next six weeks are I'm going through the indicators and I'm leading him on till the night of the game then we pull the plug." I said and they nodded to that firmly at that.
As Sam rubbed his head against my shoulder the duo curled up surrounding me to protect me. "Guys till I start and with me, Em, protect her for me, will you." Jake said and they all nodded to that. "We will Jake, you have our word." Sam said with a gentle growl. "Think we better take a break here boys, its time we built the bonds as our pack needs to bond to each other to make this work and we're always together now." Leah said to him and they nodded in agreement as we ended it at that.
"Dad, if my friends figure it out we need to added them to the ones in the know with my powers of Blocking out these parasites they're protected as well and with those words in mind. My friends in the gang and my friends on the teams, the team captains are also joining the list of humans in the know, as is Benson, but everyone else, this is a secret best kept undercover, that is if mom doesn't tell Phil next, when her memories get rearranged later." I said and they all nodded to that in agreement.
"Embry you're my cousin." I said and he smiled. "Sam you're my brother?" he asked and Sam nodded to him and Uncle Josh nudged him with his head and he gave him a hug. "Alright so my name is Embry Call-Uley now. I don't get it, how could I be your cousin exactly?" he asked and I smiled. "Their mothers are my mother's cousins Em', I'm related by marriage to you through Uncle Josh, I'm an only child, at the moment."
"But that's okay, because though I'm that, our pack is family, you're my cousins and brothers now, and you, Leah, Emily, and the twins are my sisters. Once the partnership goes full, I've got friends and family with all three species and my life is completely balanced out." I said and she nodded to that. "Hey dad what are the chances of mom having a second child later on exactly?" I asked and he smiled as he answered me.
"Extremely high, though your sibling is with her, you're living with me here on the reservation till you get married later on. Our lives are meant for protecting the Olympian peninsula and our family is the pack and extended family the sextet after we finish your entire storyline so we know what's going to happen later." he said and I nodded in agreement as I looked at my adopted grandfather then.
"Papa, what were the rules I'm enforcing here, to prevent a fight from breaking out in the E.R. later, if he sees the guys standing next to me and Tyler and we got thirty outsiders in the room with us in addition to our parents, Uncle Harry, Tyler, Dr. Bennett and Rose in there with us?" I asked and he explained that to me. "Aside from the three we created in the original treaty that my father and the trio's grandfathers created."
"And those were: No biting a human, never use their hunting weapons on humans and never crossing onto our land, without authorization, and we can bend that rule later with Carlisle and the quintet once the treaty goes full. Though Cullen himself, if he tries that, is getting torn apart, because he does and it's a violation of the treaty and it's a freebie for us and Carlisle is going to accept that." he said and I nodded to that.
"The added two rules were there was to be no violence in pulblic and when in your precense they better get their attitudes under control, because you have more power than all of us combined cub. Truth is Tala was the most powerful omega on the reservation, and her authority is so strong, that to break the rules of the omega meant banishment from the reservation, if you were a pale face."
"Though for any of gold eyes, they break the rules and it's either death or banishment from the peninsula and they'd be forbidden to ever come back and if they did, it's death. At the moment, your storyline completed three of the four situations needed, but we got to destroy the red eyed leadership, and the Cullens are replacing them afterwards as the vampire government and you're creating the new rules when we do so." he said gently.
"Well for Jasper I've got to his need for eating under wraps and the only way to do that, is when we go into conversation afterwards. The plan is getting them to go hunting at night and act as if they're drinking V8 or fruit juice when at lunch and they can act like normal humans this way. Without losing control when in public, secondly they all pack these bottles with them in knapsacks, third is slow down their strength and finally."
"For the sextet and their relatives in Denali, they're the only ones allowed to cross the border between us and when we want to do a girls day, Le', we got three superhuman bodyguards and my friends and you guys can relax around each other, because to both race it's the smell is slightly acrid. To them it's like you're wet dog and to you its menthol mixed with peppermint and cinnamon." I said and they nodded to that.
"Nice word for it, once our abilities go full, the stench is enough to burn our noses once we find this trio. So we take out the leader and his mate is going on a killing spree killing forty five more humans till we destroy the entire army ourselves later, aw crap. I forgot that rule, kill the mate of a vampire and the vengeance results in killing the bystanders while doing it, we kill whoever attacked you, and his mate is going to kill you to destroy me, mate for mate." Jake said and I nodded to answer him.
"Yeah exactly, but for the next eighteen months till we destroy the nomads get ready it's going to get hectic, now that we dropped the act and told you baby. I'm dealing with tribal regulations with the rest of the original quintet with Cullen out of town, still. But don't get annoyed that I'm talking to Rose and Emmett, because I'm comparing notes with the duo and we're dropping the act around each other now." I said to him gently.
"Wasn't the original quintet Cullen himself, Carlisle, Emmett, Rosalie and Carlisle's mate though?" Quil asked and I nodded to him. "Yeah it's them alright, the duo phased after Alice and Jasper joined the family. Though at the moment each book is going to show the situation, but you three catch the end results with the army coming into the picture in the third story." I said and I looked at my pack smiling as I said it.
"But from here on out the Twilight Saga has now gone fully werewolf in this timeline, in that timeline my life had been involved in a coven of vampires. In this one my life is pack and I'm living my life the way I want, having a family, really enjoying being human now. But the first piece to make it clear to him, that he's never getting me back is the dressing down and then I'm singing in the talent show, letting him know.
"I made my choice and it's I'm staying human and I choose you Jake, though he's tough, he doesn't have your temper and that's the alpha male syndrome and that's my second song for the night. My plan is getting the girls to do a girl group with me and we're doing several songs that night, and I'm doing two with you, so guys, Em', Quil, the three of you and Jake are getting involved in this." I said and Jake smiled as he looked at me.
"Boys the seven of us are meeting the quartet tomorrow if there's a meeting at lunch and we're doing your shifts during a school day. So you guys focus on school stuff, the ten of you, and Sam and the nine of us have the school shift and we'll train you so you can act like a pack starting now." Billy said and the ten all nodded to the orders gently. "I guess I can expect to see you at the school for a PTA meeting with the principal dad?" I asked and our parents all nodded to me in answer to that.
"Four adult versions and the quartet are meeting the sextet of twin version of the wolves they met seventy years ago, if this is not enough to turn a few heads nothing is right now." Leah said and I started laughing at that. "You and Sam better show up as well, so the quartet get to meet you, before they see you as a wolf Le." I said and she and Sam both nodded to that suggestion as I looked at her and the guys.
"Your parents are my parents best friends, we're a pack, it's time we acted like one now, because Cullen is going to have you on his head later Jake, you're who I choose. Because I'm holding on to you tightly, I always want to find you at my side now." I said and he smiled. "That teenage musical is now a perfect way to reflect our lives now, every lyric in the song has a whole new meaning to it now Bells, you're my strength and there's more to live when we listen to our hearts and vice versa." he said, smiling to me.
"Yeah exactly, and because of you I have the strength to face this a second time, I'm never taking him back, I belong to you now, now and forever my love. Consider this a chance to really do revenge on him, he doesn't know you're a werewolf yet, but he knows what the tribe are, but once in a lifetime, this is your revenge on him for what he did to me Jake, once in a lifetime." I said and he grinned at that as he said it.
"Yeah and you belong to me now Bells, once in lifetime means there's no second chance, so with that, I really believe we should grab that second chance while we can, I know what he'll do to you, but I would never do that. You almost gave up that chance, but you got your second chance by getting that letter from the future you, let's not let it go to waste baby." he said and I smiled and kissed him and he pressed his forehead to mine smiling then as our fathers exchanged smiles then. Looking at my family I made my choice and it was I was staying human and really living my life now...
