Fight for Knowledge
(Bella Swan's POV)
I felt so angry and my body started to shake like it did when I first started to phase at the Cullen's house.
(Flashback)
"Sam I need to know, it would put my mind at rest" I pleaded gently.
"Bella…" he sighed gently.
"I am sorry but I have to do this" he muttered.
"Bella Swan as Alpha of this pack I forbid you to go get your blood tested." He said and I felt the weight of his words hit me like a truck.
(Flashback end)
"Damn it Sam, why in the hell would you do that!" I spat as the shaking of my body became more violent.
"It is for your own good." He growled in self-defense.
My feet lead me out side as my wolf took over as I began to run.
Bella? I heard and it sounded like Embry reach out to me. I slammed him out of my mind as I was running.
Bella! I heard again this time in the voice of Quil and soon I saw Quil running along my flank.
Go AWAY! I screamed in my mind as I kept running my feet kept leading me to the boarder of the treaty.
Bella! I heard once again. This time I turned to growl at who it was. When I saw Jacob's russet wolf walk out of the brush that he was concealed in. My anger that was seething inside of me began to recede.
Jacob, I am sorry, but I can't do this… I muttered in my mind as began to feel a pain creep up into my heart. My head soon went to the memory of the conversation between Sam and myself.
What the hell!? Jacob responded seeing the memories as they played out in front of him.
Why would he do that? Quil joined in again as he too saw it. Then Embry and Jared joined in seeing what set me off.
That is wrong! You have a right to know! Jared growled
I am with Jared on this one… Embry growled in agreement.
My choices and what I do is for good of the pack! Sam growled as he approached the group of wolves.
That is a crock of crap and you know it! Quil responded with a heavy growl
She has a right to know where she comes from! Jared repeated
How does this have anything for the good of the pack?! Embry asked with another angry tone.
Who are you to tell her why she can't know her heritage?! Jacob responded with more ferocity then the whole group.
She doesn't need to know where she comes from. The minute she finds out she will turn to her mother or father and ask why they cheated. Then the question comes to this…. How in the hell did she find out. Sam growled with equal ferocity.
I have had enough for one day, it starts off with me being kidnapped by the leech that I used to love, then I phase into a wolf, I am now being told I can't find out who is who in my life because you are scared that I am going to run my mouth. Thanks for the vote of confidence Sam. I replied quietly and walk away with the wind carrying my feet to what is her home.
I slowly calm down enough to phase back to being a human and went into the house. Billy was in his room as I went to my room. I put on some clothes and lay in the bed as I felt tears start to slowly come to my eyes. I silently begin to cry and eventually I fall into the darkness of sleep.
(Jacob PoV)
I watched as Bella walked away her shoulders hunched in defeat and sorrow. I felt my heart began to squeeze tightly as I felt her sorrow and pain.
What the hell is your problem Sam! She has damn right to know what her heritage is! She hasn't even been a wolf a full day and you go off and use an alpha command to tell her that she is not allowed to get her blood tested so she might know who her father or if could even be possible her mother! Because of you she can't do that as long as you keep that stupid action order on her! Now that I have said my thoughts on the subject I have a mate to go and comfort. I snarled and then growled as I began to walk after my imprint.
Jacob Black you are not done with patrols, so you can wait to go comfort your imprint after you finish, Sam ordered.
I silently go back to my patrol with Quil and Embry following silently. The pack mind slowly emptied as it left Quil, Embry, and myself in it.
What are you going to do Jake? Quil asked quietly.
I don't know man, Sam I thought was going to be decent to her. Then he turns around and makes an action order like that. She didn't need that man. I responded in the same quiet tone.
Maybe you should finally take the Alpha position that is yours by blood. Embry suggested
And split the pack up by doing so? I asked.
I know, not something you want to do Embry responded.
Who knows maybe Emily has caught wind of this and maybe she can talk some sense into him. Quil shrugged.
I shrugged as we finished our patrol. I walked back to the house in wolf form and once in the backyard I shift back into my human form and enter the house. After retrieving my clothes and seeing Bella was not in my room I went to the Twins room. I heard soft sobbing that was slowly being replaced with the labored breathing of someone sleeping. I gently open the door and enter. I see her curled up in a ball. I close the door gently and slip into the same bed as she was. I snaked my arms around her in a comforting fashion.
"I love you Bells and I am sorry that this happened to you" I muttered quietly before also slipping into the realm of unconsciousness.
(Third Person PoV)
The next few days passed with school and soon a proposition for a bonfire came from Sam and the response was relatively quiet. Every time it was brought up by Sam excuses about people attending kept coming up like a wild fire.
(Emily's PoV)
"Okay would you like to tell me what is going on?" I asked as I started loading up the car to go to Billy's.
"What do you mean?" Sam replied cautiously.
"Why is it that every time that you mention a bonfire, the packs usual reaction is an egregious amount of whooping and hollering, and now it is like a someone kicked a puppy in front of them?" I asked as we both got into the car.
I see Sam physically tense up when I ask this and I quietly wait for a response.
"They are all probably tired from the amount of training and patrols we have been up to" he responded through tight lips.
"Samuel Levi Uley" I responded with my own lips tight. "Tell me the truth!" I demanded
"Well I might have used an Alpha Action Order to tell Bella not to get her Blood tested to find out her heritage." He mumbled
"You did what!?" I screeched.
"Emily it was for the-" Sam started to try and explain.
"You know after everything she went through yesterday Sam she has a right to know… You had absolutely no right to do that to her. How would you like it if you did know who your mother or father was and you phased into a wolf? You would have wanted to know why! You would have tried to figure it out no matter what obstacles stood in your path! So to do that to her especially when she is of pale skin tone and woman none the less… She must be upset, sad, and angry…" I yelled.
"It was for the good of the Pack!" he roared.
"No it was a selfish move." I countered becoming quiet and let go of his hand.
"Emily come on! She could easily go spreading our secret around when she got a hold of the information!" he countered back.
"Then place a gag order on her, not completely block her off from knowing." I hissed silently.
He just shook his head silently as we finally approached the Black's residence.
(Sam PoV)
Once inside the Black's residence I called our pack meeting into order. We went over the normal patrol schedule and procedures for when there are unusual scents on the reservation. The meeting was starting to come to an end when I cleared my throat.
"Bella, I owe you an apology. I am sorry for placing an Alpha Order on you that prevented you from knowing your true Heritage. So With this Apology I am going to do this." He said again with clearing his voice/
"Bella Swan, As Alpha of this pack I remove the previous Alpha order placed on you. I replace it with this Alpha Order instead. You are allowed to figure out your heritage and you may talk about it amongst the pack but to no one else!" I said allowing the Alpha Timbre to flow into my voice.
Emily came up to my side and grabbed my hand.
"And after that is done we will have a huge bonfire to celebrate!" Emily joyous announced.
After the Whopping and Hollering died down I saw Bella smile and mouth the words
"Thank you"
AN: Sorry for the long period of not writing, I have been extremely busy but I will try and update more often.
