I hope you are enjoying my story so far. I have so many thoughts on where I want it to go. But I need to stay realistic and not venture to far off course. Thank you for sticking with my story.

Chapter 3

The young men in the group stared for a long time until Sam spoke again "you were the voice I heard" he looked at Isabella with curiosity and intrigue "you are not the first one I have spoken to, the forest has many children but I speak only to those whose anguish can be felt in the air" he stared at her and spoke "I had no idea what was happening and when I returned home the council members were waiting for me" so much hurt and anger was clearly felt in every word spoken.

"I guide lost ones back to the path that is right for them, your wolf was so young and new it had yet to experience its first true merge" at that the others all began to ask questions "what do you mean first true merge?" "what do you mean by guide?" "what kind of guardian are you?" so many questions "I will answer all questions so long as it is returned in kind. I will only speak to the Alpha whose vowels must be kept as sworn to me long ago."

Sam stepped forward "I am the Alpha" Isabella cocked her head to the side stepped closer to him and sniffed him. Sam stood still unsure of what it was she was doing "Do you know what it means to be Alpha Samuel Ulley?" all eyes were on them as they waited to see what would happen next. Sam took a breath "I am the strongest of my pack and was first to phase I know all that the pack needs to know, I am the leader who protects this tribe." Isabella looked on in confusion and pity before she spoke.

"Unfortunately young one that is not true. Many things are needed to be the rightful Alpha of this pack and leader of this tribe. You are not who I need to speak to, Ephraim swore to me his allegiance as chief and as Alpha his wolf is as old as the forest he chooses the one to lead the pack he is the russet red wolf spirit, he has blessed Ephraims blood line with the one to carry the oath. It is with that decision that I speak to the true Alpha of this pack."

The council stunned for words began to protest well all but one whose smirk was hard to miss. "the wolf spirit does not reside in you Billy Black but I sense his spirit is here" Billy smiled and nodded "The russet red wolf you speak of lies with my son Jacob Black" at this Isabella followed the gaze of Billy and it landed on one of the young men just to the right of Sam. He stepped towards her and stopped just shy of a meter from her, as she looked into his eyes she saw the eyes of the wolf staring back at her "come closer Jacob" at her words he came closer to her, she raised her right arm and extended her index finger to his temple and closed her eyes.

A soft blue glow formed on the end of her fingers where it touched Jacobs temple "what is she doing" whispered a voice unknown to Isabella but she pressed on. The dim glow getting brighter as she searched through his very being.

"Where are you sapientissimus I need to speak to you" as she searched and spoke within Jacobs mind, Jacob could not understand what was happening. Flashes of light and smoke were passing him bye in a haze as if a snake had entered and was slithering through every memory every experience he had ever lived "ENOUGH" he shouted which forced her out of his mind and several steps away from him. The others stared on in complete disbelief at what Jacob had done and also at her in confusion wanting to know what her intentions are.

"If you are here to hurt my son you need to leave" Isabella stood still contemplating what she had seen and felt, which made way for rage and anger that her very being was vibrating "You call yourself council and you have the nerve to ask me to leave. The wolf lies in pain inside him he has not joined with him completely his mind is not one it is in two. YOU DARE TO CALL YOURSELVES LEADERS AND COUNCILMEN" With so much anger vibrating from her the winds began to stir and swirl around her lifting her long tresses to fly wildly in the air "They have not completed the merge properly when you change not only do you become a wolf but your spirit itself becomes one with the land no boundaries exist when the merge is complete" the young wolves were confused and the councilmen looked down in shame "did you not walk with them before you changed" at this they looked on in confusion "what do you mean walked with them, when we are angered we change but we can force the change if needed"

Isabella POV

How could they not know? Ephraim would have never allowed such blatant disrespect. My anger began to cool as it seems there is much that they all do not know. "It seems that we have much to learn and know as we have missed much it seems with your anger earlier "said Quil "you are not like your forefathers your arrogance and pride leave much to be desired" I said with as much calm as I could "Please help us to understand" said a quite voice that belonged to the youngest of the pack "what is your name young one" "I am Seth Clearwater" at this I smiled widely for the Clearwater line was one I had nurtured and favoured among the people in the tribe and I am seeing exactly why I did. Such kindness and compassion in one so young will be needed if we are to combat the coming threat.

Sapientissimus- Wise one (Latin)

Not sure how I am going to go about creating a couple or if I will at all…
