[Bella's POV]
"You both need to calm down! Bella, you need to chill, babe. Take deep breaths and listen to my voice." Sam was cooing in my ear, feeling my body become limp under him. I sensed Jake phase next to me and Paul come over to hold him back.
You don't know anything Jake! You don't understand what I went through… -
I trailed off turning my head away so he couldn't see the tears building up.
Paul, take Jake home. Make sure he phases and stays in the house. I'll meet up with you guys in the morning. -
Sam commanded with his eyes locked on me. Paul head butted Jacob in the direction of Billy's house while Quil came over and gave me a little comforting head nudge like they did earlier. Paul looked at me from the corner of his eye and gave me a little nod before pushing Jake farther into the woods.
Sam slowly moved off of me and sat watching the area where the boys were just walking through. I closed the wall to the pack mind so I couldn't release any thoughts of when the Cullens were here. It felt like hours before Sam looked over at me and sighed. I could tell that tonight had really worn him out.
Do you miss him?
His question caught me so off guard I could only stare at him, confused.
Do you miss him, Bella? -
He asked again, with slight irritation in his voice.
Do I miss who Sam? You're confusing me… -
My ears tucked back and if I was standing, my tail would have gone between my legs just from the angry look that he was giving me.
Don't play stupid Bells, Cullen. Do you miss him?
Yes -
I whispered knowing that he would be mad at me. I miss him and yet part of me even hates him. What he did to me… was just wrong. I miss him, but my heart has moved on Sam. I don't know how or why, but I don't really feel attached to him anymore.
He didn't reply. He just turned away and started walking back to his house. It took me a couple good lengths before I caught up to him or at least was caught up to his rear quarters.
We made it to the back porch with no talking. Before he could phase, I gently grabbed his tail between my teeth and pulled. He stilled but wouldn't look at me. I pulled harder before I was putting actual weight into the pull. I let go when I noticed he didn't respond. He instantly phased and was pushing the door open. I phased mid step and followed him in.
"Sam, we need to talk about this…" He ignored me and started walking to the stairs. I had to do something, right? "Sam, stop." This deep unknown voice came out of me and made Sam stand still on the stairs. The air around me changed… it was like a spirit came into my body. I could hear everything that was happening outside like it was right in front me. I could hear baby birds in the trees chirping to their mom, I could hear the trees freaking growing! I was a part of the Earth now. Very gently, I heard the spirit whisper in my ear, Welcome Child.
Sam looked down at me with a shocked expression. "Holy shit. Congratulations, you just made your first command as Alpha."
"What! Sam, I'm not ready for this! Take it back, please!" I was begging at that point. I knew I was supposed to be Alpha, but I wasn't ready… there was no way I was ready.
"Bells, calm down." He moved down the stairs over to me and took my chin in his hand. "I'm here for you - we'll get through this together. You may think that you feel weird, but since I've been a wolf, I've always had that responsibility and now it feels like I'm free. It's so strange… I don't know what to do here."
"Well, it looks like I got you to talk to me so I must have done something right." I put a little smile on my face trying to get him in a the same mood.
"Yeah, must've…" He leaned down touching his lips to mine briefly before pulling away and looking deep into my eyes. "We need to call the boys over here. There's now two Alphas. I need to step down before we tear each other apart." He gave me one last peck and headed towards the phone next to the couch.
Not really caring about maturity at the time, I growled and stomped my feet. The smirk on his face was completely worth it. He called Quil and Paul, who was still attached to Jake and told them to be at the house in twenty. Plenty of time for me to take a nice shower and find some clothes. I never really noticed how open I allowed myself to be around Sam. Before the whole transformation thing, I would have never had been able to be this free around another person.
The shower felt so good. The hot water relaxed all the tense muscles that I didn't even realize were tense. When the water grew hotter, I could smell something… odd. I started sniffing around the shower wall before I stopped at the side one down in the middle. I took a deep inhale and opened my mouth slightly tasting the air hoping to figure it out. It smelled oddly like Sam… the woodsy, musky smell that I have grown to know, as well as something that was tangy.
My body seemed to know what it was and automatically, my lower area became wet. As soon as my brain caught up with my body, I realized that Sam's cum was all over the shower wall. Knowing that there was a room full of wolves downstairs, I really couldn't do anything about my problem. I finished my shower without washing off Sam's wall. I really wanted to come back to that later…
Stepping out of the shower and into the steam, I felt brand new. I wiped the mirror with my hand and looked at myself. A random person could barely tell I was a skinny bookworm a week ago. Shaking my head, I ran my fingers through my hair before piling it up on top of my head for a messy bun. I pulled on some very big sweatpants and another La Push High shirt. I really hope Sam didn't mind me using them.
I jogged down the stairs noticing the guys were already sitting at the table eating some muffins. I came behind Sam and wrapped my arms around his shoulders. I could feel his muscles relax under my touch and gave him a quick kiss on his neck.
"Did you guys save me any?" I asked as I looked around for any extras. They looked at my sheepishly before Sam got up and went to one of the cupboards. He pulled out a plate full of blueberry muffins. I took a bite off the top and couldn't stop the moan that came out. "Oh my God! These are so good!"
I opened my eyes to see all the boys looking at me with their mouths open showing me all their nasty half-eaten food. The one person that I really looked to had a new look of longing along with lust staring back at me.
"What guys? These are really good." Quil, Paul and Jake seemed to realize that they were staring and turned their attention back to their food. Sam on the other hand, kept staring at me like I was the next item on his menu. Finally, Quil decided it was time for some news.
"I was walking up the road before I came over here and found something out. Seems like Jared and possibly Seth might be phasing soon." That got Sam's attention.
"What do you mean Seth might be phasing? He's too young for this…" He looked down in shame and I couldn't help but take on some of the guilt for this situation.
"I was just walking by when Harry called me over and asked if we would keep an eye on his kids. I don't know what else he would mean by that other than one of them would be phasing. Let's just all hope it's Seth and not Leah." Paul chuckled slightly with Quil before looking over to Sam who was oddly quiet.
"Why would it be bad for Leah to phase? We all know now that girls can change too…" I asked in honest curiosity.
Sam's head snapped up in my direction and his eyes looked at me harshly. "We'll talk about it later Bella."
With that, he turned his attention back to Quil and started talking about Jared phasing. It seemed like Jared should have been one of the first to phase to begin with, and it didn't made sense that he hadn't yet. They told me that he was a very calm person naturally and it takes a lot of anger or something traumatic to happen before someone actually transformed. That completely made sense when I looked back at how I transformed.
I was quickly brought out of my thoughts as Paul and Quil started talking about who was going to stand guard over the future wolves.
"You already have Jake… it's my turn, Paul!" Quil actually whined, while Paul tossed down the last couple bites of his muffin to look Quil in the face.
"Jake doesn't count… don't you remember who his dad is, dumbass." Paul shot back completely ignoring both Jake and I who were staring at each other after that comment. We both knew who our father was and what he used to do.
Sam brought us out of our staring match by banging his fist down on the table. The two boys stopped arguing and both Jake and I snapped our attention to him. Right then, I saw his beautiful profile and my insides warmed knowing that for some strange reason, he was mine and I was his.
"I wanted you guys over here to let you in on something. We all know that when Bella first phased, she was to become Alpha - well, the Alpha in her made its first appearance a couple hours ago." Three sets of eyes instantly turned towards me and I almost cowered away from the attention.
"What happens now? You're the Alpha and you said that she needs to be trained still…" Quil piped up.
"I'm going to start after we get some shut eye. It's been a really long night and I need her focused before I start throwing stuff at her." He looked at me when he said the last part and I bowed my head forward letting him know that I understood. "We all need to be careful at this time, though. If she thinks that something should be done, she might give a command without meaning to actually do it. Just remember to come to me until I tell you guys otherwise." Quil and Paul nodded their heads but Jake stayed still just looking down at the table.
"Jake, is there something that you want to say?" Sam asked, his voice letting his irritation show.
"Nothing, Sam."
"Alright, Paul - you take Jacob home and stand guard. We don't need any accidents happening. Quil, patrol around the area please." He watched the boys start gathering their dishes to put in the kitchen before turning to me. "You, go upstairs and get some sleep. Trust me when I say you'll need it."
I looked deep in his eyes and saw nothing but honesty. I turned back to the guys and gave them a quick goodbye before heading back upstairs and crawl back into the amazingly soft bed in nothing but Sam's shirt.
It took Sam about fifteen minutes before I heard him finally get the others out of the house and his footsteps start up the stairs.
I listened as he came up to my bedroom door and stop. It was almost like he wanted to tell me something but decided against it. In the next minute, he started walking again to his room down the hall.
As soon as I heard the light switch click off, my mind started drifting into a deep sleep. I just hope the nightmares will stay away this time…
Leave me some love please! It makes my inner-wolf do a happy dance!
Wolfie kisses and hugs,
Stormy
