THANK YOU ALL FOR THE WONDERFUL REVIEWS! I'm currently working on the next two chapters which I hope to have done within the next two days for you. With that said ENJOY!

Sam POV Sunday - June 22nd

"Are you alright Sam? You seem agitated?" Breathing slowly to keep myself calm I gradually open my eyes to Billy. Charlie and Joseff have only been got about 20 to 25 minutes at most but it feels so much longer than that and I know why. I'm not sure whether I should inform him of my new findings regarding Mrs. Williams yet or wait till I meet with all the elders for tomorrow's weekly council meeting. "Sam, you know you can tell me what's bothering you. I am here to help when you need even if this old fool can only use his ears as an aid." Chuckling at his comment I start to think of a way to express what's really going on. It's only been 24 hours since I last saw my imprint, my Elle, and my wolf is anything but happy. He's down right vicious at the thought of her belonging to someone else, this feeling is consuming me and I'm not sure how to go about it. I mean I'm engaged to Emily the person who I was told was my imprint, my soul mate but now all I have is doubt in their so called guidance. I can't even have Emily touch me without my wolf getting crazed for blood, it's really disturbing to know that the woman I've loved these past three and a half years is not mine. Now being aware that the elders were just spewing a bunch of crap they only assumed to be correct. How could they really know what was right for the pack when they haven't experienced the true struggles themselves.

Meeting Billy's gaze with a sigh, I might as well tell him since he's been the only male figure in my life since I was 10. He knows me better than any of the other elders even Sue. "Something's happened Billy and I have to say that I am quite confused by it. You see, when I met Mrs. William's yesterday I… I imprinted on her." He looks just as puzzled as I feel. "I'm not sure how this is even possible since you and the others on the council informed me that Emily was my imprint? This feeling that I have… to claim Elle as mine is more than intense especially since I know she's married to someone else. I just… My wolf, he's enraged Billy. He literally wants to kill whoever claimed our imprint as their own and knowing it's another wolf too isn't helping the situation." Shaking my head in frustration I stand up looking out the back window into the yard. It's really a good view from up here with the flowing stream and the hundreds of trees that give me a sense of peace and tranquility. "Sam, have you told Emily what's happened yet? I'm not sure if I've heard correctly but you did not mark her as your mate did you? And if you haven't it's been almost 4 years. Maybe in some silent way, your wolf has been trying to show you that she was NOT the one. From my perspective this feeling for Mrs. Williams seems more fierce, stronger than the first imprint you had. This is me asking based on a hunch, when you were home with Emily last night... did you have a burning ache in your chest like the others do when they aren't near their mates?" Facing Billy once more I answer, "You're correct on your assumption about Emily, I have not marked her the way the other pack members have with their own imprints. My wolf forbid it, refused to have me even suggest doing such a thing to her even if it was within my inner thoughts. Then again I was speculating that maybe she wasn't ready for that type of connection and that my wolf could feel her discomfort more than I could as a man." I paused for a moment so he could absorb all my words. "Last night I literally felt like I was dying, every time Emily tried to comfort me my wolf felt like attacking her! I had to sleep in the forest in wolf form last night because I was too scared I would hurt her." Sitting next to him on the sofa I run my hands through my hair before continuing. "The pain… it was excruciating I mean I could barely breath let alone think. I'm just… I finally found that one woman that is mine but it doesn't matter in the end… It doesn't matter because right now she belongs to another man, another wolf and that Billy is literally killing me."

Billy POV Sunday - June 22nd

The expression on this young man's face is heart wrenching. This boy has been through a lot, a father who was on drugs that would beat his wife and child only to abandon them for another lover on Sam's 10th birthday. Then his mom got sick 3 years before graduation only to end up dying 8 months later. It didn't help that he was in a relationship with Leah Clearwater when he turned into a wolf either because he had to end his relationship with the one person he wanted to spend his life with. I will say that when he first came to us regarding Emily it seemed so similar to that of an imprint and no one really looked into it. Paul mentioned to me one day his uncertainty about Sam and Emily being mates only because his Alpha had still not claimed the native woman. And to throw another loop to Sam his father Joshua Uley showed his face back on the reservation less than a year ago but of course he did not come alone. He came back with a daughter, a daughter who helped change him into a different man, a better man. So when Joshua's 19 year old daughter came back from her college summer trip in Mexico with a high fever he wasn't too concerned. However, the fact that she had grown a good 5 inches taller became a worry and only then did he come to terms with what was happening. Two days later he was greeted with a massive white wolf in their torn up apartment and with that they both returned to Quileute soil. Even though Joshua is trying to make amends for his past mistakes with his son the boy is still reluctant and I do not blame Sam for that. Sam wanted little to do with his so called father but when it comes to his sister, Saraia Uley, that is a different story. Though it has been so little time of knowing one another those two are inseparable and I have no doubt that with time Samuel will eventually forgive the man he once called dad.

Now, he has to deal with this but if the spirits have claimed this mysterious young woman as his intended love, in the end it will work out. "Sammy, do not question the Gods who have chosen your destined one. No matter how difficult it may seem in the end everything will work out just you wait and see. Hey don't give me that look boy! Trust me, know that her heart is yours even if she doesn't know it yet. Yes, she will still have to choose but in the meantime you should probably be more worried about your fiance no? Bring her to the meeting tomorrow and we will address the issue there but you need to tell Emily before that, understood?" He just nods in acceptance and goes back to his stance by the window.

"Hi!" Jumping up in shock by a woman's voice I turn left to a smiling young lady with fair skin. She has nice straight brown hair with these beautiful sea green eyes, "Welcome! I'm Sandy, Sandy Williams." Stretching my hand out to greet her I suddenly hear a rumbling noise coming from Sam. Looking beyond Sandy I see a tall fellow who could pass as one of the guys from the pack carrying a tear faced woman who I can only guess is Sam's Imprint.

Charlie POV Sunday - June 22nd

I still cannot believe that my little girl is here, alive and well. Yes her appearance is a shock and as she informed me her features will never return to how it once was but I could care less about that. I am elated to know she is still breathing. Coming from my inward thoughts I suddenly hear a soft growl from Sam? What's going on? "Um okay…" says an unknown woman, I can't see what she looks like so I'm not sure if it's Sandy or not. She starts walking towards Bella when speaking once more, "Hey Elle, are you okay hon? What happened?" Obviously this woman cares deeply for my daughter because you can hear the anguish when she voices such a question. "Sorry there Miss, her emotions got hijacked as soon as she saw me. My apologies." I say humorously. In an instant this said woman has her arms wrapped around my torso in what must look like a loving embrace and of course me being me I can feel my cheeks heat up in complete embarrassment. As she steps back to look at me I give her the biggest smile and engulf her in another bear hug, "Silly Sandy. How I've missed you… I've missed all of you." I catch her infectious laughter while she's still in my hold and no words need to be said because I silently hear it 'We Missed You Too Charlie'.

Breaking away from Sandy I turn to peer down at my little girl when I see Sam crouched down near Bella with a gentle smile on his face. He seems to be talking to her with such gentleness that I am quite perplexed by his actions. Looking at Billy in question he just gives me a secret look that promises me answers at a later time. I'm sure everyone in the room can feel the tension between Sam and Justin which only gives me more questions than answers. "Charlie? Who is that man next to Elle?" whispers Sandy who is still by my side. "That's my Deputy, Sam Uley. Why do you ask?" There is a crinkle in her countenance as she stands there taking in the view of the two in front of us. Justin is still holding her in his lap for comfort purposes but Sam looks anything but happy with it. When I get no answer I tune into Bella and Sam's conversation instead. "I apologize for my Beta's rudeness towards you and your companion last night Miss Elle, I was not aware of this fellow's condition at the time. However, if I was I would have informed the pack ahead of time so you could have been apart of the festivities." Who the heck is this man and what has he done to my Deputy? I've only ever seen him act this way towards the imprints and Emily not an outsider, or in other words a pale face. Bella just smiles with contentment, "There is no need to apologize Samuel, sometimes things happen for a reason and I believe last night was one of those times. Do not torment yourself with such a small matter, your Beta was just trying to protect his people, his pack and I cannot hold that against him in anyway." I laugh internally thinking of Jake, oh man! Watch when he finds out this woman is Bella!

Swiftly cutting into the conversation, "Elle, we must be leaving but I am profoundly grateful for what you have told me. I know it wasn't much but at least I can rest easier now and I have to thank for that." She gazes at me with such love in her eyes, my daughter's love that I've missed so damn much. Striding up to her, Sam steps back towards Billy so that I can give Bella a much needed hug. I know I held on to her a minute or two too long but I could care less, she's here, she's home and that's all my mind can process. Moving back a little I gently press a kiss onto her forehead which brings a sigh to her lips. Giving her a little space I withdraw from her grasp to see Justin's heated glare to the person behind me, Sam. These boys really need to work on their people skills I swear! "It was nice to see such familiar faces once again. I'm not sure if you'd all be interested but my family and I usually have a cookout with some friends the last Saturday of every month at our house. If you have nothing to do I would love for each of you to join us?" The immediate 'yes' that came from both girls in the room just made me smile, with a nod of acceptance from the two men of the household I bid them farewell with a wheeling Billy in front of me. Only on the silent drive back to La Push did I notice Sam rubbing his chest vigorously, I guess he's been away from Emily for far too long. Poor guy, I hate seeing him in discomfort so with that in mind I speed up a little to get him home to his imprint.
