Chapter 5-The News!

Paul's P.O.V

I hated being separated from Bella even if it was for only a few hours. I left Bella at the house with Sonja because me and Embry patrolled together. It seemed like the farther we got apart the more pain I was in and being in wolf form didn't help met all. I heard Embry thinking.

So...You marked Bella... Started Embry.

Yeah... was my scent that strong on her? I asked, smirking internally.

Oh, yeah... Sorry about the whole couch thing... Sonja's just so, damn, addictive! He chuckled

Hey man it's your house, too. Shit, I understand, man... I laughed

I could tell by what I heard in the shower, He started mocking Bella, Oh, Paul, fuck me!

Shit, man, at least my girl moans. Sonja sounds like she's about to die... I mocked Sonja, Em-BRY!

Embry laughed, Man, shut up! You know they both do that!

Hell, man, I can't complain, Bella's the best I ever had... And we all know I've had enough for a lifetime.

Yeah... I can't either. Sonja... she's different, man. What do you mean? I don't know... She's just... everything. She's everything that I've dreamed about. Embry chuckled. She's such a hopeless romantic, and there were no questions asked when I told her that I was a wolf. She loved it!

You sound like a whipped pussy...

I do not! Bella hated you're very being, yet you worshiped the ground she walked on. Now, who's the whipped pussy?

Bella knows who's the boss; Sonja has your ass on a leash, pup.

Not true! At least I have decency to ask my imprint if I can mark her, before I do it!

I didn't plan it, man it just happened! But thanks for the reminder asshole...

Embry spoke softly, Yeah, know, man... I'm sorry...

Yeah, yeah... No problem, Em.

I smelled something sickly sweet.

Hey... smell that?

Embry sniffed the air,

I recognize that scent... Isn't that Edward?

He sniffed the air again. It smells a few hours old..We left the girls a few hours ago!

I broke off to run to the house, He can't cross the treaty line!

I couldn't stop until I saw. My imprint, my life, my Bella... I had to protect her.

Bella's P.O.V

The boys had to go patrol... I hated that Paul had to leave, but I was glad Sonja was here. We had been around each other for the past two weeks, but we hadn't really talked to each other. I guess being in a relationship, and having a pack to watch out for, does that. It was quiet for a while as we cleaned up the house... too quiet. I decided to start up conversation.

"So, Sonja what happened after school? How did the record deal go?"

I watched as she sighed, sadly, "Yeah... it didn't."

I was confused, Sonja was amazingly talented, "What do you mean 'it didn't'?"

I asked, dying to know what happened. She sat on the couch and sighed deeply, "Well... I tried to get my songs out there, but I was two-timed. They just lied to me about liking my music... they wanted to change everything about me. I never got to record, so my songs are still mine."

"Wow, well... its good you stuck to your guns. Something will come along soon, but that might mean leaving Embry behind." I said.

She looked a little pained at the thought, "I don't know... I think I just wanna stay put. Meeting Embry changed my life, and I don't just mean in the whole imprint sense. He helped me..." She said, with a little smile.

"Yeah, I know what you mean. When Edward left, I felt like I was missing so much of myself. Edward made me feel like I was something... and he took that feeling with him. But Paul... he makes me feel complete... He makes me feel whole." I said, knowing exactly what she meant.

"That's what Embry makes me feel like... He's so kind to me."I saw her blush as she continued, "He was so shy, and blushed so much, when he asked me out."

"Yeah, he blushes alright !" I laughed thinking about earlier, "Wanna listen to some music?"

"Sure... What are we listening to?" She smiled.

"Right now I'm in love with this song by a group known as Aternum Fortis. Hold up let me find their song." i said turning on the music.

There's no reason to hide

Life can fly by, in the blink of an eye

Forget your insecurities

Aeternum fortis (Altijd Sterk)

Toujours forte (Siempre Fuerte)

Forever strong...

Leave behind your childish fears

Leaves behind those wasted years

Things have changed now... And so have you

Aeternum fortis (Altijd Sterk)

Toujours forte (Siempre Fuerte)

Forever strong...

We were both dancing in each others arms as Paul and Embry burst through the door. I saw the shock in both of their eyes... They looked like they just seen a ghost.

"Em, Babe, what's wrong? You looked horrified!" I heard Sonja say as she walked toward Embry. He didn't say a word he just looked at me, and then at Paul, shaking his head as he wrapped his arms around Sonja's waist.

"Paul?" I asked.

"Baby," he whispered lowering his head. "Edward's back.."

I couldn't function... What did he mean Edward is back? Why the hell would he be back, now? He left me, almost a year ago, broken hearted, and alone. And, now, he wants to just pop back up? I can't fucking believe him! After all the hell he put me through, he has the nerve to show up here? What a douche!

"Bella, are you ok?" Paul asked as he wrapped his arms around my waist.

"I need to see him," Was all I could say... Or think, for that matter.

I felt Paul move away from me. When I looked up, he was leaning against the wall by the door. He didn't say anything, he just looked at me in disbelief, the hurt and anger burning in his eyes.

"Paul-" I started, but he cut me off.

"After all that he put you threw, you still want him? Really? The first thing out of your mouth is that? Your so fucking selfish Bella; you didn't even consider my feelings! Or the fact that your breaking every piece of me right now. No, your just so stuck on your fucking leech, that up and left you, and you didn't notice the guy that changed his whole fucking life just to be your everything." I saw the tears in his eyes and I could feel all the pain he felt.

He was vibrating, I couldn't see him from all his shaking, and closed my eyes as he yelled, "Fuck, Bella your MINE! My soulmate, my heart, the love of my life! Yet, all that doesn't seem to be enough for you." I heard the door slam shut, and he was gone.
