As I stood on the porch facing Jacob, I could see his muscles tensing and starting to shake. I was almost positive that he hadn't phased yet but from the looks of things, it was going to be soon if not tonight. I could feel the hate radiating from his body as he glared down at me. In his transformation, he grew to about 6'10, making me about five inches shorter. His body was completely tones as his body shakes suddenly became more violate.

Before anything else could happen between us, I heard the squeak of Billy's wheelchair moving down the hall and towards the door. He was eyeing us while rolling into the room.

"Jacob, let her in." He commanded almost in an Alpha tenor.

"She's not welcome in my house," Jake growled out without looking away from me.

"Well, good thing this is my house, huh?"

"I'm not staying here while she's here. I'll be at the beach until she leaves." He didn't look back as he rammed into my shoulder trying to pass me. If I wasn't caught up in this mess, I probably would be worried about his temperature. I may not know enough about our kind, but I do know that non-wolves are colder to us and yet he was almost hotter than me.

As if reading my thoughts, Billy said, "That boy is going to phase really soon, and when he does, it's not going to be pretty. Sam is definitely going to have his hands full with him."

He turned his wheelchair around and started heading into the family room. I felt a little out of place standing in the doorway, so I walked in shutting the door and following him. When I entered the room, I could tell he was holding something and looking down almost in a loving gaze.

"You know I loved her, your mother that is. She came to me when my wife was in Seattle taking care of her own mother. It seemed like Sarah was always spending her time of up there, so Rene came over to watch over me. I really didn't know how to keep the house up and she was more than willing to spend her lonely time here with me. Your dad was working constantly and soon the more he worked, the more she would come over. It was then I understood my feelings towards her." He looked up me with unshed tears sighing before continuing. "She always came over seeking attention that she knew I could give her. I was starting to think she was using me because of that." He put a picture of Jake and I as little kids down and rolled over to me.

"Sam told you about imprinting, correct?" I didn't trust my voice so I merely just nodded.

"I honestly believe that your mother is my soul mate. I could feel the pull every time I think about her but I knew she wouldn't have left your father over me. So, doing what I had to do, I pushed those feelings aside." He grabbed my hands before going on. "As wrong as it was, I'm still glad that she became pregnant with you. Kind of showed me that she'll always have that love of mine with her. I just didn't think about her taking you away."

Tears were racing down my face while my body was slightly shaking in anger over my mother's stupidity. He must have understood my jerky movements.

"It's all in the past now Bells… she made her choices and now it's time for us to make ours. Now, I have some little details of this wolf situation. Please, sit down," he motioned to the small couch and I sat on the edge not wanting to make myself too comfortable in this clearly uncomfortable part of the conversation.

"You are the first of my children to phase, do you know what that means for you?" I shook my head with my interest peaked. "Well, you are the rightful Alpha of the Pack."

I just stared at him trying to comprehend what he was telling me. My thoughts first went to Sam. He was such a good leader and here I am, shy and timid.

"What about Sam… or even Jake? They should be the Alpha, not me." I questioned, almost chuckling at the end.

"I wish it was that way Bells. The responsibility goes to the first in the Black bloodline to phase, which would be you. Sam understands this and will start training you to take over soon. Jake will find this very hard once he continues with the transformation."

I nodded my head in agreement before hiding my face in my shoulder to yawn widely. The running and events must have finally found me.

"You must by exhausted sweetie. We made up one of the share rooms for you." He told me before squeezing my hands and moving away from me.

"I'm sorry Billy but Jake needs to come back. This was, is, his home. I'll just head over to Sam's place." I simply stated and started to move towards the front door.

"No, Bella wait! Stay here please… Jake needs to realize you are family now too. He'll see, trust me." He pleaded with sad eyes as he continued to follow me into the kitchen.

"It'll be much simpler the way. I'll come back tomorrow and maybe he'll talk to me then." I started opening the door and stopped to go back to my dad and gave him a hug.

"I'm not mad at you about anything. I'm just upset I had to learn all this, this way." I gave him a quick kiss on the cheek before walking out the door only to find a very angry Jacob staring at me.

"Is it alright if I go back into my house now?"

I stood in front of Billy to somewhat block him from all the anger. I was completely ready to face Jake's fury head on.

"Jake, this will always be your home -" He pushed past before I could finish and slammed the door shut. I don't think I've ever felt so alone before now.

I didn't even realize that I had phased until I could hear another voice drift into my thoughts. Instinctively, I raised my walls around my mind before any unfiltered thoughts came out.

Hello? Is anyone out there?? Wow, I completely thought I felt another phase.

I kind of felt sorry for staying silent to this unknown male wolf. Then again, I could stay to the shadows for awhile and figure out what I was going to do. I couldn't stay in wolf form forever, could I?

The thoughts of them ale slowly quieted in my mind as I blocked him out completely. I finally moved my paws westward into the woods. If I could find a nice sheltered place tonight, I would be alright.

Unfortunately for me however, my paws led me to a nicely built cabin right outside the forest and a stone's throw away from the ocean. For some reason, this place felt like home to me. I brought my paw up to take another step towards this place and then heard a twig snap from behind me. Immediately, I crouched down waiting for an attack. A dark silver wolf appeared from the bushes. I opened my mind and slowly sat up from my crouch.

Do you know who lives here girlie? - he called out to me.

No… but the house is beautiful. - I replied looking back at the cabin before looking towards the heavens watching for shooting stars.

The guys who owns it has a beautiful heart and soul too, ya know… - he said while playfully nudging me the shoulder.

Oh my God Paul! When did you grow a pussy?! - I nudged him back with a wolf smile on my lips.

Hey now - I'm just trying to look after my little sister. - he said adoringly while following my gaze to the skies.

Oh Paul, what am I going to do? I really think I like him, but he said he already imprinted on someone. - I somewhat whined to and laid my head on his neck. If someone else from the pack looked at us, they would have thought we were having an intimate moment considering he placed his head upon mine.

No worries Bells, you'll figure everything out soon or later. Did Sam ever mention who his imprint was? He asked not looking away from the stars.

I thought back through the conversation we had, playing special attention to his words…

Have you imprinted?

Yes, I have

if only you knew Bells.

That's what I thought. Paul thought with a slight chuckle. Have you ever wondered why he ordered us to stay and he followed you alone only to bring you back home? He questioned finally looking down from the sky and towards the front door.

Go talk to him sweetie, he'll help. He looked me straight in the eye before softly nuzzling my forehead with his. Then he ran back into the forest probably going back to his patrol.

I turned back towards the house knowing what I had to do. The only problem was that the clothes I was wearing ripped off when I phased… Great.


I hope yall liked it. I'm currently writing the next chapter so you should have it soon. Please leave me some love!
Wolfie hugs and kisses,
