Disclaimer: I do not own twilight; all the characters you don't recognize are mine. Also I changed a few things from the original story when it comes to the alpha thing (this works better for my story), you'll know what I mean when you read it. I apologize if this makes anyone upset, but again it just works better for my story this way.

Chapter 16:

Midnight Showdown

"You ruined my fucking life!" he screamed at me, his face inches from mine. His hands dug into my neck with so much pressure felt my throat was going to cave in. but his anger faded and so did the pressure, "Torrance came to see me today, said she was the new alpha and she was going to kill me," He let out a huge laugh and threw his head back. When it came back down he put his mouth to my ear and whispered, "I put her in our love nest, you know the one in the woods. She was breathing the last time I checked, but I'll finish her when I'm done with you." I opened my mouth to scream but nothing came out, just a whimper, "Oh, don't scream baby, I know it hurts. You know I've been thinking a lot about that night of romance we had in the woods, and I've come to realize what actually happened there that night. You see you had just spent the day with Jacob playing with toys and watching a movie, kid stuff right," I shook my head "no" in panic, but his hands around my throat made my "no" into a "yes." "That's what I thought, Jacob doesn't know how to handle a woman like you, and you want excitement and someone who is in control. That's why you spit on me isn't it, the reason you insult me; it's because you wanted it more rough and real didn't you, my little whore."

His face came down on me and his lips touched mine. He held them there for what felt like hours before he pulled away and looked into my eyes like he wasn't expecting something. The kiss made the grip he had on my neck loosen enough allow me to breathe, "Ayden…Please…Don't-" but the little bit of voice I had left was shattered as his massive hands started to squeeze harder.

"Don't you dare beg, you're mine," He said viciously.

The door sung open and it was Charlie carrying a shot gun, pointed at Ayden's head. I mouthed help to Charlie, but when I looked over at Ayden his face was smiling. My heart sunk in my chest and I began to panic, If Ayden changes there was simply no hope for Charlie.

"Get off her NOW!" He yelled out and took a step towards the Ayden. Ayden took his hands from my throat and stepped off of the bed.

"Charlie, Run!" I tried to scream but it came out raspy and incoherent, Charlie didn't move. Ayden took a few steps toward Charlie, but before he could reach him there was a huge crash and all of our eyes darted to the window. Jacob stood in a pile of broken glass and surveyed the situation in my bed room. In an instant he ran over to Ayden and grabbed his arm and threw him out of the window he just shattered, and then flew out of the window himself. I heard massive growls from outside that sent shivers down my spine. Charlie rushed over to my side, but before he could even lay a comforting hand on my shoulder I shot up and flew to the window.

I hung my head out and saw both of them had changed into wolves and there was a vicious dog fight right out of my window. I could tell which was which only because Jacob's fur was longer and brown, I assumed the gray wolf was Ayden. They were wrapped up in each others paws and standing on their hind legs. Ayden punched Jacob who went flying; only stopping when he hit an enormous tree, the crack I heard could have been from the impact or every bone in Jacob's body break. Jacob ran at Ayden in full speed and knocked him on his back. Ayden's massive teeth sunk in hard on Jacob's throat and shook his head every which way ripping away the flesh around his teeth. Jacob broke free and gave out a loud whimper, then took his huge paw and swiped Ayden across the face. Ayden was knocked away but Jacob didn't give him any time to get up, Jacob flew himself on top of Ayden and started to maul at his stomach, scratching with his paws like he was digging for something. Ayden got his bearings and stood up pushing Jacob aside, once again swiping at Jacob and taking with him a tuft of fur.

Ayden was hurt, blood rushed down from his stomach and he limped his way over to Jacob, who got up with a shot and in a flash had his jaws completely around Ayden's throat. Ayden let of a huge growl followed by a whimper then slowly nothing. Ayden kicked his legs wildly then slowly they stopped moving, Jacob's teeth stilled lodged in his throat, Ayden's body started to go limp and Jacob slowly moved him to the ground.

"What the hell was that," for the first time I noticed that Charlie was watching out of the window as well. I ran down the stairs passing Renee in her robe looking confused. I got to the back yard and saw Jacob still in wolf form, still in attack mode, hovering over Ayden' naked lifeless body. I approached slowly and Jacob's head swung around and growled at me, I jumped back not expecting that kind of reaction and just stood there shaking.

Jacob took one more look down on Ayden and then ran into the woods. When he reappeared he walked over to me in his human form, I ran to him and threw my arms around his neck. "Are you ok," I asked in a panicked voice.

"I'm fine Bella, I'm fine. Did he do anything to you?" He asked placing a soft hand on my face.

"No, he was trying to strangle me then-" I stopped myself, Charlie just saw all of this. I ran back inside the house and up to my room, Charlie was just sitting against the wall with his head in his hands. I walked up to him slowly cause I could see the shotgun laying against the wall beside him, I kneeled down in front of him and put my hand on his shoulder. "Charlie?" I said not sure he was still in there.

"Bella," He choked out.

"Dad, I'm so sorry," I pleaded with him.

"Charlie are you ok," Jacob had followed me inside the house, but as soon as he made himself noticeable Charlie stood up and took the shotgun from the wall. He was pointing it at Jacob as tears ran down his face. Instant reaction threw my body in front of the gun protecting Jacob.

"Bella get out of the way," Charlie yelled at me in a voice I had never heard from him before.

"DAD NO!" I screamed back, but he was seeing red, he couldn't hear me.

"Charlie, stop. Put the gun down," Renee had entered the room and was calmly making her way over to Charlie. She approached him like you would a protective mother bear, when she reached the end of the shot gun she put her hand on it and slowly pushed the barrel down to the floor.

In seconds Charlie was in pieces, he crumbled to the floor and Renee rushed over to his side to comfort him. "Both of you, get out of here. Meet me down stairs in 15 minutes or I swear to God…"

"Ok mom, we'll be in the kitchen." I said before she could announce the punishment, I had no intention of running without an explanation.

Jacob and I made our way down stairs and into the kitchen; the shock of what had happened had not hit me yet. I plopped down at the kitchen table and looked over at Jacob whose face seemed worried. "Jacob, are you ok?" I asked again.

"I'm fine, are you ok?"

"Yeah…Yeah I'm ok," I said with a heavy sigh.

"I should have stayed with you tonight."

I got up and walked over to him, hugging his huge waist the size of a tree trunk, "You saved my life, you got there just in time. Please don't for one second think you could have done more."

He kissed the top of my head, "I shouldn't have done that."

"You were protecting me Jacob," I said confused.

"No, I'm glad he's dead, that fucking…" He stopped himself and took a minute to regain control, "Torrance needed to do that, this is very bad."

"What do you mean?"

"Killing the alpha makes you the alpha, Ayden's tribe is mine now." I looked up at him and saw the sorrow in his eyes.

"Can't you just give it to Torrance?"

"Not unless she killed me."

Renee and Charlie entered the room, Renee seemed ok, but Charlie's face was beat red and he was almost shaking with rage when he saw Jacob. Charlie opened his mouth to yell but before he could Renee grabbed his hands and entangled her fingers around his. This simple action made Charlie's anger fade, like he just got a hit of heroine. He walked over to the table with Renee and sat down, both looked at Jacob and I for some sort of explanation for what just happened.

Jacob and I sat back down at the table and told them the whole story, Jacob's furriness, Ayden's obsession, the council, Jacob even told him about the Cullens. Charlie didn't seem convinced, but Renee kept asking questions and seemed very animated about the whole thing. When we caught them up to what happened tonight; Charlie's face went pale and I knew it was starting to sink in, Jacob finished the story and we both sat there waiting for someone else to talk.

"So you're a werewolf?" Charlie said raising one eyebrow.

"Yes sir."

"And that other guy on top of Bella is a Werewolf?"

"Yes sir."

"And the Cullen's are vampires." Jacob nodded after Charlie's question. "And now the other wolf thing is dead?"

"Yes sir."

"So it's all over?"

Jacob and I looked at each other, "Not quite," I said hanging my head, "Ayden is taken care of, but apparently there are more vampires coming in."

"Well according to you that doesn't seem so bad, I mean they don't eat people right?" Renee said.

"The Cullens don't, but these new ones coming in will." I said holding my breath.

"How did all of this happen?" Charlie had his head in his hands.

"I'm so sorry dad, I'm sorry I lied to you," I said putting a hand in his arm.

"What do we do?" He lifted his head, but he didn't look at me. He made eye contact with everyone but passed my eyes up.

"Well my pack and Ayden's old pack are going to help the Cullens with the newborns. With as many of us as there are we really shouldn't have a problem." Jake spoke confidently.

"Then what?"

"What do you mean?" Jacob and I spoke in unison.

"Then what, I have to live next to vampires and werewolves the rest of my life?"

"What are you saying Charlie?" Renee gulped.

"I want you gone, all of you. The Cullens, all of the wolves, I want all of you out of my town after you have taken care of these new vampires you're talking about. I want you all to leave me, my daughter, and my town for good."

"DAD!" I said in shock.

"Charlie," Renee said more calm than I could have ever managed.

"No! I don't want to hear it, either they leave or I call the government." He stood up in his chair, "How could you defend them Renee, they just put our daughter in life threatening danger almost on a daily basis. No… I want them gone!" He stormed out of the room.

"He's just upset, he doesn't mean it. I'll go talk to him," Renee got up from the table and followed Charlie out.

"Shit!" I said defeated, "What are we going to do?"

"Renee is right Bella, he's just upset. I mean besides you, I kind of expect that reaction."

There was a knock on the door and Jacob was there to answer it in seconds. When I followed him there the door was open and about 15 people were standing on my porch looking at Jacob. One started to push his way up front; he was tall and built like a semi truck. His hair was cropped short and had scares all over his face; he looked like Sylvester Stallone after Rocky I. "My name is Reese; I was third in command under Ayden and Torrance."

"Look, I had to do this, I'm sorry it went down this way but- "I knew Jacob was intimidated, their leader was lying dead in my backyard, all by his hands.

But Reese cut him off, "I want to thank you for dealing with our mess, but we need to ask you a favor."

"A favor?" Jacob said skeptical.

"Torrance hasn't reported in, it's been about three hours and no one has heard from her, this is very odd behavior for her." My stomach sunk and I remembered Ayden's words "I put her in our love nest; you know the one in the woods."

"I know where she is, or I think I know where she is." I screamed out and everyone's eyes lit up. Before I could tell Charlie and Renee that I was leaving I was whisked to my truck with Jacob in the passenger's side and about 4 massive people in the truck bed.

I turned the corner and started to make my way over to the Cullen's house. Jacob was unfamiliar with these roads and I felt his nervousness through my own body.

"Where are we going?" he said hanging on the dashboard as I took another sharp turn at 45 mph.

"The Cullen's" I said still looking at the street in front of me.

We pulled into the long driveway and I had to slam on the breaks when I saw all of the Cullens standing in a line protecting the house. The car came to a screeching halt, I jumped out, and ran over to Alice.

"Bella, what's going on? Who are all of these people?" Carlisle spoke before I could get a word out to Alice. I had forgotten that she couldn't see this coming, that the werewolves block her ability.

"Ayden attacked me tonight," I saw all of the Cullens' jaws drop then turn to anger, "Jacob fought him away and killed him." I heard and audible sigh of relief coming from all of them. "But he attacked Torrance first; he hurt her and hid her in the shed where you found me Alice." Though I was talking to her, I was looking over at Edward, a glance not lost on Jacob, whose face turned beat red.

"What do you need?" Edward said and stepped away from his family, ready to go.

"I need Alice to take us back to the forest she found me in that night, we have to find her." I said turning my attention back to Alice.

"Ok," Carlisle said, and in an instant we were heading towards Alice' Porsche, we needed speed. Jacob gotten back into my truck with the rest of the pack and I made my way to the car with Alice.

She stopped dead in her tracks and her face went completely blank. "Alice what is it?" I said putting a hand on her shoulder after seeing her darkened expression.

"They're coming."

Sorry I know this one is a little shorter, but it seemed like a good place to end it. Please let me know what you think and thank you all for keeping up with my story. It's an absolute pleasure reading your comments and reviews.
