Sam looked at me then his eyes gazed over to my pure white mother, "So she's your mother?"

"Yes," I answered as I found the ground very appealing at the moment. "Mom, this is Sam, he's well..uh..."

"I'm the Alpha of the pack," Sam replies, cutting to the point.

"I'm Melissa," mom replies, as she reached and shook Sam's hand. She didn't react the way she did to me.

The whole pack was there,

"Mom, meet Embry, Seth, Jared and Quil, Jacob, oh and Paul, stay away from my mom or I'll personally rip your hamstrings out." I introduce her to my pack.

"Alyssa June!" Mom exclaims, she grabbed my ear and pulled me away. It didn't hurt but I pretended otherwise. "That is no way to speak to your brother."

"Mom, I was saying that for your own safety!" I retort, "Paul can't control his temper!"

"Like she could even take me on!" Paul called out.

I turned to him, "Is that a challenge?" I was getting annoyed which was slowly turning into anger at Paul, I could feel myself trembling as I was about to phase.

"Alyssa, calm down. Paul don't tease her." Sam commanded

"Alyssa?" Mom asks, her voice was frighten.

That cooled the fire building inside me, I didn't want a repeat of Sam and Emily happening again.

"Sorry, Mom." I apologize

"You're not the only one who can't control their temper." Mom whispers, but I heard her. For some reason, I knew she wasn't talking about Paul.

"Sam, I think we should leave them alone for a while." Jake suggests, I threw him a grateful glance.

"Let's go," Sam replies,

The others left leaping over the ledge and into the forest, Leah looked at me with concern then left as well.

"Why are you really here?" I ask looking at my mom.

She looked at the trees, the cabin, everywhere that seemed interesting to her to avoid looking me in the eyes.

"Mom, talk to me!" I exclaimed, which brought out Emily

"What's going on?" Emily asks,

mom looked at Emily, her scars were visible and we all knew not to stare.

"Don't stare," I hissed at her then looked at Emily "Can we go inside?"

Emily nods.

Mom and I sit at the kitchen table, Emily hands my mom a glass of iced tea.

"Lunch will be ready soon," Emily informs,

"I'll let the others know, in a second." I reply,

my mom held the glass in her hands like a lifeline, she took a breathe and let it out in a sigh, "I left your father."

My eyes popped open, "What?!"

"It's not because of you," Mom answers, "I found that that he cheated on me! He has a whole other family!"

"Alyssa, go outside now." Emily ordered

I didn't realize I was shaking so bad, as the whole scene blurred in front of me, I barely controlled myself to get out the door before I landed on four paws.

! was the Pack's reaction to my swirling thoughts joining theirs.

Sam was the only who wasn't sending comforting emotions, my way. He understood. His other father had left him and his mother.

I want to bite something right now! I thought with a snarl, as I ran. I wouldn't mind it if was the man that used to be called dad.

Good thing, we're not near her. Paul states

Shut up, Paul! All of us exclaim

Paul sent a wordless cry of pain and Leah was laughing in her head.

Thanks for taking a bite for me. I state

Anytime, sister, anytime. Leah replies.

Why me? Paul asks

You seemed to know how to annoy us most. Jake answers.

I ran until I dealt with my emotions and when I was finally able to phase back, which was about three in the morning.

Crashing on Emily's couch as my mom had the guest room. I knew she couldn't stay in La Push since it was Tribe members only. I decided that if she moved to Forks, I would visit. I didn't care about Cullens knowing I was breaking the treaty or not.
