Writer's Notes: Thank you Roxhall and Navywife for your reviews! Hmm mysterious. I wonder what they could be? Here's a fourth chapter because I hate leaving y'all on a cliffhanger too long. Enjoy!

Jasper's transformation was shocking to Bella. It wasn't something that she would have imagined, not even in a million years. When he changed, he became a wolf, his fur was sandy in color, perfect in every way, and he was the size of a direwolf.

Bella was confused. She didn't believe in werewolves or the paranormal. This was just her mind playing tricks, she tried to tell herself, but she was increasingly getting sick.

"Bella, look at me. Focus." Emmett called to her again.

Bella looked at him, her breathing coming in quick, short breaths. She then looked to Jasper who was still transformed. Not a trick. "I'm scared." She said, her voice strained.

Emmett stroked her hair. "I know. It'll be over before you know it. Just focus on me." He coaxed.

Bella screamed in pain and felt her insides twist. Tears streamed down her face and then she was transforming. Her body mutating. Emmett moved back, giving her room. Her screaming turned in a growl and then her vision changed, and the pain stopped, and Emmett looked shorter to her now.

"Bella, now listen to me. Keep focused on me. Talk to me with your mind."

Bella moved her head around, seeing Jasper as a wolf.

Bella. You can communicate with us with your mind. Jasper was in her head now.

How is this possible? What do I look like? Like Jasper or what? Bella queried with her mind.

Emmett smiled. "You look beautiful Bella. Just like the artic." He moved and took a picture of her on his phone so he could show her.

Renee made it through the door to see her daughter and she gasped. "Bella…" she murmured.

There was a man with Renee. His hair was dark, darker than night, like the wings of a raven, and his eyes were a piercing blue. He was beautiful, and perfect.

Mom. Bella said with her mind.

Renee smiled. "You're gorgeous sweetheart."

I don't understand…why didn't you tell me? Bella was upset that her mom would keep something like this from her.

"I wasn't allowed to speak of it. You can't tell your brother or sister. I don't know if they have the gene." Renee explained.

I'm so confused. Bella wished that she knew this was going to happen sooner.

"I know honey. We'll explain it in the morning." Renee said and then transformed quickly. Her coat shimmered grey and brown like a timber wolf.

Is dad a wolf? Bella asked.

Yes, he is. He is with your sister and brother and can't be here. Renee explained.

Emmett took his shirt off and transformed, his transformation smooth. His fur was thicker and the sandy fur matched Jasper's except for the grey start around his left eye and he was bigger.

The man that had come with Renee smirked, his fingers unbuttoning his shirt carefully, before he set it to the side. He was silent as he transformed, his fur dark like his hair, and his eyes equally as piercing blue.

What do we do now? Bella asked.

We run. Jasper said, and they ran out of the mansion, and Emmett howled and then there were more howls sounding in the night, and then other wolves joined. One was a ruddy brown, one was completely grey, and the largest one that joined was a like sand color like Emmett and Jasper.

Alaric, she's transformed. Emmett said.

Wait, Alaric, like the chem sub? Bella questioned.

The grey one spoke. I am. Welcome Bella, to the pack. Alaric howled and ran faster through the woods.

Hey Bell. Tyler's voice sounded in her head. When Bella spotted Tyler, he was a dark charcoal grey color, with some auburn patched. She was in disbelief.

Ty, you're a wolf! Bella exclaimed.

I am. Care is running late, but she'll be here. Tyler relayed.

Right then a smaller black and silver wolf showed up.

Hey guys, sorry. I had to ditch Matt and Jess. Caroline's voice entered Bella's head.

Care! Bella was happy to see her best friend, but also confused as well.

Bell, I'm sorry I couldn't tell you. Pack rules. Caroline said, her voice holding an air of apology.

Bella was still confused. She wasn't sure what to think anymore.

They ran as a pack through the woods, feeling free. Finally, everyone returned to the mansion. The guys left Caroline, Bella and her mom separate when they transformed back. They were naked. They dressed in silence.

When they joined the guys, they were laughing. Tyler and Jasper were smiling at each other. Tyler saw Caroline and went to her and kissed her softly.

Bella glanced over to the man, the one that hadn't spoken. His eyes were alluring, he was alluring. She didn't know how to explain it. Like a pull of some sort. She shifted her gaze to Jasper, who looked at her, smiling a small smile. She wasn't sure what was next or what to do anymore.

Emmett appeared then; his sleeves rolled up above his elbows. His shirt was tight, stretching across the tight muscles of his chest. "Alright. It was a great pink moon. We have four new pack members that transformed safely. Bella is one of them. I got the report in, and it appears that we gained three wolves in McKinney. Kol Mikaelson and Klaus Mikaelson, and Rebekah Mikaelson. The sibling group we suspected because of who their father was." He paused. "Atticus will be here soon to give you your mark." He said, looking at Bella.

Bella frowned. "Mark?"

"Yes. Atticus is a warlock on the council. He'll give you the pack mark. It'll look like a tattoo." Emmett elaborated.

"What does it look like?"

Emmett pulled his shirt up and off on his shoulder. There was a crescent moon, and, on either side, there was a dot and then above and below the moon there were stars. Then it was between four bars.

"Does it hurt?" Bella asked quietly. She felt an odd electricity flow through her, but she ignored it.

"No. It's not like getting a real tattoo." Emmett said, and then shrugged his shirt back on. "Renee, call for council lead and let him know that Bella transformed successfully."

Renee nodded and slipped out of the room.

Jasper looked to Tyler and Caroline. "This weekend we have to start training for Bella."

Just then a man, who looked about mid thirties walked in, his hair was dark, and his eyes were green, like a mix of hazel. There was a girl with him, a girl that Bella recognized from school. Bonnie Bennett. She wondered about her, but didn't say anything.

"Welcome Bella, to the pack." Atticus said with a smile. Bella was quiet, and waited as Atticus came to her, studying her. He was tall and slender, and he had a bit of scruff on his face. She had never met him before. "It won't take long." He said, and smiled. "Where do you want your mark?"

Bella swallowed and moved her hair to the side, and angled her head away. Atticus marked the nape of her neck. It didn't hurt like Emmett said.

"Alright. The summit is in two moons. A mating ceremony will take place meaning, Tyler, you and Caroline will be married. Congrats." Atticus said and then he moved back, standing with Bonnie.

Caroline smiled and laced her fingers with Tyler's and watched Atticus leave with Bonnie.

Renee returned and looked to Emmett. "Emmett, he's been informed. Now, I have some things to discuss." She said and left the room, with him following. She turned to face him when they closed the door, sealing them inside, and was soundproof. "At the mating ceremony, you'll be taking Bella. She's got the bloodline and she's the only one in centuries to wear the coat of the artic. The council head wants you…you're the oldest son."

Emmett was quiet for a moment. "Alright. I will inform her of this. When it gets closer to summit. Renee, she's not imprinted with me. If- "

"I know." She said with a nod.

"She remembers your accident. Like it was a dream. She wasn't supposed to remember."

"I had it fixed that way. I didn't want to risk all her memories." Renee explained.

It made sense now to Emmett. "Alright. She'll stay here tonight, and then I'll call on you tomorrow."

Renee nodded. "Understood."

They returned to the others, and Renee looked at her daughter. "I love you sweetie. I'll see you tomorrow." She said with a smile and kissed her cheek and left.

Jasper watched Renee leave and then he looked over at his brother, and how he raked his eyes over Bella, inspecting her. He turned away, knowing the type of look his brother was giving her.

Bella didn't look at Emmett or Jasper, her eyes were on the other man, the silent one. They stared at each other a moment, before he turned away, and slipped out of the room. She frowned and followed him.

Emmett and Jasper looked at each other, not saying anything. Emmett swallowed, his hand clenching a little. If she imprinted on someone else, that would throw a curveball in the council's plans. Either way, Bella might not get much of a choice.

"Wait." Bella called out and the man stopped. "Who are you?"

The man turned and looked at her. His eyes studying her. "Damon."

Bella could smell everything about him. The way the forest still clung to his skin, and his wolf. Her heart was beating fast, and she moved closer to him. She reached a steady hand up and placed it on his chest. She could feel his heartbeat through his shirt. He shivered slightly when she touched him. Their eyes locked.

"What does this mean…" She murmured.

Damon reached a hand up, cupping her cheek. "It means you've imprinted on me." He said. "I'm sorry."

"Why?"

"Because I don't get to choose."

"What does that mean?"

Damon swallowed. "It means, that you're not mine. No matter what."

Bella melted against him then, pressing closer so she could feel him. "I don't care. This feeling I have…" She leaned up, her mouth covering his. It was a soft, simple kiss at first, but then it started changing into something more. There was a soft growl that sounded in Damon's chest, as the kiss went further, and she pressed into the kiss. He just met her today. He was more of a lone wolf in the pack, and only came to this thing because Emmett commanded him to. Her hands unbuttoned his shirt, her hands moving over his skin, and it heated up, instantly, like there was a fire that was consuming them both.

Damon pulled back. "Mmm. Stop." He said, and she did, her mouth was swollen from their kiss, and her eyes looked at him confused. "Go back inside." He said. "Our alpha wouldn't want us here like this."

"Alpha?"

"Emmett." Damon said.

"I don't get it…" she murmured again, and then took a step back.

Emmett appeared then, his eyes capturing Damon's. "She's imprinted?"

Damon nodded. "Yes." He said simply.

"Stay." Emmett said to Damon.

"But- "Damon started.

"Stay. I'll contact the council." Emmett said.

Bella turned and looked at Emmett, her eyes capturing his, and she felt odd. She frowned, and then so did Emmett. "What?"

"Impossible." Emmett murmured, and his eyes connected back with Damon's.

Damon looked confused as well, his brows furrowed in thought. "I won't stay…it's not right for me to."

"You don't have a choice." Emmett said, and Bella looked between the two.

What was happening? She didn't understand.
