Hey thanks for the reviews and love. I didn't love writing this chapter but it had to be done x
No ones Pov
Two days later
It had been Two day's since Paul found out the news he had a daughter. He had remained a wolf for those two days as well trying to process what he was going to do from here, he could hear his wolf pack member's thought's on the second day. As Alpha he had blocked them the first day, though he realised he would have to tell them sooner or later.
Wolf Form
"Paul? Are you there?" Jared said in his mind as he searched for his best friend and Alpha, out of all the wolves Paul trusted Jared the most and they were the double trouble duo. The two bestfriends anyone wanted.
"Yeah, I'm here" Paul replied to his friend.
"Are you okay? Rachel told us the news" Jared thought "Paul wanna talk in human form?" He added.
"Okay meet me at the edge of the forest on first beach" He replied, as he ran to first beach, his paws digging into the dirt.
Human Form
As Paul transformed back into his human self it felt strange to be back onto two feet,though he felt more comfortable and wouldn't need to go hunting for food like he did as a wolf.
He went to the hidden rock with the spare clothes and pulled on one of the cutoffs, not even bothering with a shirt. He met his friend who embraced him into a hug as he tried to hold back the tears.
Jared knew his friend and Alpha , was never one to show his emotions and hardly cry, though he knew it was serious when Paul Lahote shedded a few tears.
"She isn't worth the tears Paul, You should demand to see your daughter and have quality time with her" Jared said, in hopes to comfort his friend, he knew what Bella did was selfish.
Even though he would always choose his Alphas side he had a thought he might go chat to her a little later to see how they could get Paul all those times be missed of his daughter, also the fact he didn't fully believe her story.
Paul pulled out of the embrace, wiped the tears away and his alpha demeanor was back.
"I'm going to arrange time to see my daughter, fuck I dont even know her name" he growled.
"But I want to avoid Bella" he said the hurt coming back to his eyes, he looked at his friend for a minute.
" Would you be able to talk to her" Paul asked his Beta, Jared didn't have to think twice, as he already wanted to talk to her anyway so he took this chance to do so.
"Of course, why wait I'll go now" his alpha nodded in approval and off Jared went to see what other secret he could unfold from Bella Swan.

Angela was sitting on the bed in Rachel's room with her head in her hands, grumpy with her girlfriend.
"Did you have to call her a monster Rach?" Angela said exasperated, they had been arguing for ten minutes since Rachel hung up from Bella, calling her every swear word under the sun that she could think of.
"YES!" She yelled "She can't waltz in here and expect everything to go back to normal" She grumbled, as she paced up and down the room.
"Maybe let her speak more about her story" Ang muttered, she hated keeping secrets from Rachel but this one besides Nora was an oath she gave to Bella, one that no one knew not even Angela knew every detail as she had been nannying Nora.
"I don't need to hear anymore about it, I've heard what I needed to hear" She retorted, as she stopped pacing and looked at Angela.
"Maybe theres more to the story" she whispered, realising that Rachel would pick up on more secrets. Rachel eyed Angela curiously and knelt down in front of her.
"What else arn't you telling me" she questioned, Angela lifted up her head and tried her best to lie to the one she loved, yet again.
"Nothing" She said as she brought Rachel in for a hug hoping to not have anymore questions as,ed, but she knew Rachel and she knew she would bring it up eventually. Angela was getting tired of the secrets and hoped her friend would tell everyone soon, or she would have to break that oath.

Jared knocked on the door of Chief Swans house, place he hadn't visited in a while. Memories of bon fire nights and house parties flooded his mind, he couldnt help the grin flash onto his face.
Suddenly the door opened and there stood Bella in a dressing gown, her eyes were puffed red and tear stains down her cheek, she looked miserable but he had no pity for her.
"Jared" she breathed " Are you hear to let me know I am monster aswell?" She questioned, not bothering to fake the kindness, "Cause Rachel beat ya to it"
"Look what you did, wasn't right but a monster no" he paused looking at her state "maybe I should come back.." he trailed off, he suddenly became awkward crossing his arms, thinking maybe now wasn't a good time.
Bella sighed and opened the door wider " Come inside you did'nt come here for nothing" she said turning her back and heading towards the small lounge room. Jared noticed nothing had change about the room , two brown sofas were still there rough around the edges, the wooden table Paul made for them was still there too just with more coffee stains, pictures of Bella were around the place and the group photo with the pack from six years ago was still centred on the blue walls.
Bella sat on the sofa closest to the back door, tucking her legs underneath herself she shifted her eyes to Jared waiting for the conversation to pick up.
"So Jared?" She asked him, he was trying to think of the right words to say but guessed maybe she didnt care how rude they were anymore.
" Bella why didn't you tell him? What was going on in that head of yours at the time?" He started, looking intently to her eyes, Bella bit the bottom of her lip, she did that when she was nervous.
"As I said to my dad, and Rachel and everyone else I was scared and selfish" She muttered looking down at her hands " We travelled abit and lost track of time" she replied daftly, he didn't believe all of it for a second.
"So your saying you had a perfect time away with no other issues?" He questioned her, he knew the old Bella there had to be another explanation he didn't want to truly believe her story that she was selfish and scared.
"Pauls my bestfriend , but I don't fully believe your story Bella, I know Rachel would because shes his imprint, Charlie would because he's your dad and no matter what he'll always love you" he paused for a second " and Paul because he's heart broken and your lover, but not me Bella, I refuse to believe that you would do this out of being scared and selfish, the old you never was selfish" he finished looking at her, he was getting to the point where he wanted to go up and shake the answers out of her.
Bella looked at him, then started bawling her eyes out. jackpot he thought, he knew she was hiding more to the story.
She stopped crying and wiped away tbe tears " I guess the truth always comes out" she muttered again.
"Before I tell you this, please don't pity me or give me sympathy I dont want it" she started, Jared nodded looking at her.
Bella inhaled deeply before going on with her story " After Nora was born we had plans to come back and let you guys know, the plan was after my final exams" she looked into his eyes, he could still see the tears in her eyes ready to water down again any second.
"Her names Nora, after Pauls mom?" He whispered , a little bit in shock. She nodded and contiued.
"When I was breastfeeding, I found a lump on my left brest" she gulped" Jared I found out I had breast cancer, I went into treatment for year or so I lost track of time and the fact I nearly died scared the shit out of me" Bella sighed.
"So I didnt tell anyone I didn't want to make a big deal of this, I begged Angela not to tell anyone so thats why we travelled I didn't want to live life wasting it, then I realised it wasn't fair on paul to not know he had a daughter, so we came back" she finished, she bit her lip again.
"I-I don't know what to say" Jared began, he was still processing everything she told him, he knew she was holding onto more information but he would have never guessed that, it would make sense.
"Well you seemed to have gotten better" he said eyeing her.
She nodded and then looked outside before she spoke again.
"It did go but I lost my left breast, so I decided to remove both" She whispered, Jared didn't mean to look, though he glanced at her chest but he couldn't see anything under those robes.
Bella cleared her throat so he could back to her eyes "I'm sure you didn't just come here to hear about that , did you now?" She asked.
Jared had almost forgot the other reason until he remembered his alphas wishes.
"Your right" he stated " I came for two reasons, the second being Paul would like to see his daughter, while avoiding you" He said, cautiously not wanting to make her cry again. Bella looked down now fidgeting with her thumbs, she also did that when was nervous and thinking he thought.
Bella started nodding her head and looked back at him " Yes that can be arranged I do owe him, maybe he'll want her for the weekend?"
"I think he would too" Said Jared. They sat in silence for abit while they thought about everything that was said moment's beforehand , you could have cut the silence with a knife.
"Bella I'm gonna head off" Jared eventually said as he stood up " thanks for the truth-" he paused wbile opening the door he glanced at her again before heading out.
"Bella you need to tell people the truth" he said sternly
"I will, just let Paul have a week of being mad with me, let Rachel enjoy Angela and let my dad enjoy Nora just for a week"She said,he nodded said goodbye and walked out the door not sure how he would keep this from his alpha but he would try and he hoped Bella would keep to her word.
