As promised, chapter four in Hardy's POV. Sorry if it's not as long as the last one but I want to stop in the same place as the last chapter so I don't spoil the cliff hanger. I know, I'm such a stinker! : )

*The Cullen's and Draco are the property of Stephenie Meyer and J.K. Rowling. Hardy and her pack on the other hand are all mine! : ) *

*Note: The Bold and Italicized words are the wolf pack talking in wolf form.*

"So this Cullen family, are they going to be trouble? Can you handle them or not Hardy?"

"Michel don't worry, I will protect La Push and Forks as we have always done."

"So great Uncle Jacob is supposed to be with them, any idea of what to do about the other family shame?"

"Michel seriously, you won't have to deal with them so chill out."

"I just can't believe He would run off with a bunch of leaches. This Reneessmmeene or whatever her name is could not have been worth deserting your family and leaving a trail of shame behind."

He was getting on my last nerve. I could hardly take it when he was on my case, but now he was going crazy over the return of my uncle Jacob and his family. I didn't even know him or the Cullens and I was pushed into protecting them because I was ridiculed for being related to them through Jacob. "Her name is Renesmee, Renesmee! And he imprinted okay so he didn't have the choice, he loved her no matter what!"

"Right, imprinting… just another excuse for being a traitor."

"Right, I'm going out to meet the pack, we are going to train so we can be ready in case we have to protect La Push, you know like we always do." He rolled his eyes at me as I left the house. He was the worst nephew ever. I knew I wasn't a freaking joy to be with, but at least I tried to be pleasant.

As soon as I was clear I phased and started to run to meet the pack. And of course the boys were ready to comment on my life as always. And guess who the first big mouth to speak was.

Man that guy is such an ass! He really should give you a break; he doesn't even know you or Jacob. Hey if he had to do your job he would have been dead in a week.

J.J. if you don't can it I swear to god I will pound you! I screamed

Come on Hardy! It isn't often J.J. is right, but when he is you have to give it to him! Jr. over there is an idiot.

J.J., Joshua if Hardy wants you to can it you should before she makes you. Have I said how much I love Robert yet? No problem Hardy.

So Hardy what's the plan for today? More combat training in preparation for the Cullens and dear old Jacob Black? Quil was trying not to think about Michel so I was very appreciative of his efforts.

Yes. We need to be prepared just in case. We have no idea why they are coming back, or if they know why there has been so much vampire activity lately. If they do they could either be an asset or a risk and we need to be able to deal with any thing. If they don't then they need to be informed and pumped for as much information as possible.

So we went to work. We were expecting them mid to late August. I was scared to say the least. I didn't know what I was going to do. One of the main things was Jacob. He was my biological uncle and the last living relative I had. What would he think of me? Would he try to get rid of me because of what id did to his niece? Would he see me as family and help me and the pack with the vampire problem we were having or would he shun me and leave? The pack left me to my silent thoughts trying hard not to put in their input on what to do. They understood I was under a lot of stress and they sympathized with me. Soon we got word that movers were preparing the old Cullen house.

"Boys listen up, I meant what I said, and you are not to approach the Cullens. I will make first contact."

"Hardy that is a bad idea! We should be there with you."

"I'm sorry Hardy but for once I agree with J.J."

"Ha! Thank you Robert." Yes thank you Robert.

"We all want to be there as a pack to support you. They'll have questions about you and we don't know how they will take you." Quil looked at me very concerned. I knew they were all worried about me, they were my brothers but I could not put them in danger, this was my job.

"Look I can take them."

Josh piped in, "We all know how bad ass you are but we would prefer no fighting if you don't have to Hardy."

J.J. agreed, "Look boss for once Josh and I are making sense, if you doubt that then ask Rob and Quil. We're a team and family and we all need to be there. Please don't order us away."

I didn't want to use my alpha command, I only used it when I needed to, it was only in times of life or death situations, or if I needed to stop they guys from killing Michel for being so mean to me. I wanted them there to support me and help if Jacob wanted me dead for what I did to my mom, but their safety was in question. There are five of us but last time we checked there were eleven of them. I couldn't hurt Jacob no matter what he thought of me. Hate me or love me, I couldn't kill family.

"Look, I will strike a deal with you boys. You can flock me but if trouble arises then I will have no choice but to order all four of you away. I have to deal with this in the best way possible and getting anyone of you hurt could hurt La Push. Got it?" They all agreed. They were confident it would go well. I on the other hand was not so positive. I have lived too long to believe this would go without a hitch.

Two Days later Robert confirmed their arrival while he was on patrol.

There are ten of them, the eight vampires, Renesemee and Jacob. We were all a little confused; last we heard the Cullens had added another full vampire to their family. Where was number eleven? I'm not sure where he or she is, but I checked as thoroughly as possible without coming into contact.

So this was it. I knew that they would come looking for us to either get the story on the vampire activity or to establish a peace with the pack.

And Within twenty four hours of their arrival they were on the move. They were coming toward us. I knew they would not cross the line so that would be our meeting point. All five of us were on the move; I was at the front with Robert at my right and Quil at my left, to Robert's right was Joshua, and to Quil's left was J.J. I took a hard look at each of my brothers as we ran, if anything happened to them it would be my fault.

Really Hardy, take a chill pill we're not children. J.J. got really irritated when I started to act like an over protective big sister.

Quil laughed and chimed in on my thoughts, Right J.J. you're not a child… You may look like a man but you still have the mind if a fifteen year old boy.

J.J. growled, he hated when we reminded him that he was the youngest in the pack. When he joined he was so excited to have surpassed all the boys in his class and showed off his body as much as he could around the girls. It was nice to joke with them, it kind of took my mind off the danger we were in, and the fear of what my uncle would think of me.

We can take him Hardy. You say the word and he will take him. He can't say anything bad about you; you are an alpha and good.

I knew Josh was right but Jacob was an alpha too. How would that work? There could only be one alpha, there would be too much fighting for territory if there was more than one. But our bloodline had been alphas for centuries. It was or destiny and curse to take on this responsibility. It was my blood right as well as his. What will happen when one Black meets another?

That's an interesting problem, I've been wondering myself, but don't worry! You are our alpha no matter what this Jacob Black guy is.

Robert always knew how to make me feel better. Come on if you had a pack member like him you would be just as grateful as I am.

We could smell them. The guys wrinkled their noses in disgust; they hated the sweet smell of vampire. Me on the other hand, well I didn't mind it so much. It came with the half vampire half werewolf territory. Both smelled just fine to me. I smelled fine to the guys as well; they said that the sweet smell was so slight it did not bother them at all.

They had been running but I could hear them coming to a stop close to the boundary line. We came to a stop just behind some bush that separated us from the Cullens. My nerves were going haywire. I was also thinking of what form to take in front of them.

J.J. was happy to answer the question. Wolf form of course! They will get a kick out of you, or they might just have heart attacks.

J.J. Vampire's hearts are dead already.

Thank you captain obvious! Gees Quil I'm not a complete idiot. I know their hearts are dead; it was a freaking figure of speech.

Boys can we focus on the situation at hand? I needed to focus and their constant bickering was not helping. I knew wolf form would be best because I could keep in contact with the pack while talking. They had a mind reader and a wolf with them. Jacob could just talk for them if he wanted to and Edward could read everyone's minds and translate to the rest of his family. I smiled to myself because the pack and I knew that his talent would not be necessary.

HA! Yes exactly! Do id Hardy and watch their faces, it will be priceless! J.J. was chomping at the bit to keep going and he was excited.

I smiled to myself and spoke, "Well you must be the famous Cullens." I stepped out of the bush to face the family of ten standing before me. They each had this look of complete astonishment on their faces. As the rest of the pack came out into the open I continued. "Welcome back I guess." Let the games begin!

Dum Dum Dum! And with that I leave you to wait. Please review and let me know if any part of this is confusing. My BFF is so confused with the last part. Ha! He will have to wait, as will all of you!
