Chapter 2

Here I am, standing in front of a small but beautiful white house, with a garage and driveway, in the middle of the lawn was a huge tree and a pathway leading to the front door. I was looking down at a piece of paper with the an address on it: 775 K St, Forks, WA. Hoping that this was the place I go to knock on the door, but before I do the door opened and the next thing I know I'm wrapped in a strong pair of arms.

"BELLA!" Charlie yells

"Put me down you bear" I say laughing as he puts me down. He has a has a huge smile on his face and I'm surprised his face hasn't split in half yet. "It's so good to you again, How have you been?"

"I'm good, How about you? You look tired" He asked whilst pulling me inside, we both sit down in the living room, on a green couch, facing one another.

"I'm tired Charlie, I just off this job helping a wolf find it's family because he was adopted and had changed with no help and needed his family to survive, it took me 4 months to find the fucker, and then when I fought them they had no idea how to raise the pup because he was the first one to phase, the angel that was support to be watching over them didn't know a thing about the pack or the packs history, which I had to find out on my own because he thought that getting laid was more important, I could have KILLED the prick." I ranted

"HE KNEW NOTHING OF THE PACK! Are you serious?" He waited until I nodded my head, "Fuck! You should have killed the prick." He said looking shocked. I laughed.

"Anyway I see you moved, but then again I did last see you 97 years ago. It's nice here, very . . . you." I say making him laugh

It is a nice house, well from what I can see of it, the living room has light green walls with wooded flooring down, in front of me is a black rug, a brown coffee table with beer on it and a big flat screen TV on the wall. Behind me I can see the kitchen which has light green walls with green and cream floor tiles, light green cupboards, brown table and chairs and the normal things that you have in a kitchen.

Charlie used to live in a nice cottage in the woods around La Push, to keep a closer eye on thing their. He looked just like a full-blooded Quileute and non of the wolves their knew who or what he was, it was amazing seeing them fooled like that, but then again Angels do have the ability to change there scent and the way they look. Now though he has pale white skin, with brown eyes, brown hair, and a funny mustache that you have to laugh at.

The last time I saw Charlie was when a vampire was creating a vampire army, way too close to one of the wolf packs I was protecting then. Charlie was close and helped even though I didn't need the help I was still grateful, he has also helped me with some family business before now and I trust him with my life. It does help that he's a good dear friend to.

"Yeah I know, I miss that place to," He signs, before asking "Are you hungry? I can order some take-out or we can head to the diner here Forks. I can fill you in on everything I know about each wolf and their history, anything that you need to know about them."

"Yeah please, um . . . take-out please," I say

"Sure, What would you like? Pizza, Chinese, Kebab House, your choose," I laugh, always the way with Charlie.

"Pizza please, I haven't had it in a while," I say then "Can I have pepperoni? Please uncle Charlie please" I saying in a child's voice, jumping up and down and giving him my puppy dog eyes like a little kid.

He just laughs then walks away shaking his head, I'm guessing to order are pizza.

I don't know why he bothers when I could just make the food appear on the table free of charge, but I'll humour him. He never could get his head around me making food appear out of thin air, but then again I never really use it unless I'm feeding shifters or I'm lazy and can't be bothered to cook. I love cooking meals for people though, I don't know what it is about cooking but I relax and feel at home when I cook for people, it's nice. Charlie pulls me out of my thoughts,

"Food should be he in 30 minutes or so, ok?"

"Yeah that's ok, thanks," I smile at him, but then get back to business "Anyways tell me about the history of the pack first, then after we have had are pizza you can start on the Pack." He smiles.

"Ok, Taha Aki was one of the last great spirit chiefs who was well-known for his wisdom and for being the man of peace. He was the first shape-shifter of the Quileute tribe and has passed the genes on to three families, the Blacks, the Uleys, and the Atearas. The legend goes that one spirit warrior, Utlapa, wanted to use this power to enslave neighbouring tribes, the Hohs and the Makahs. Unwilling to use the warriors' powers for such monstrous purposes, his chief, Taha Aki banished him from the tribe. One day, the chief left his body in a hiding place to sweep through the valley in his spirit form, searching the area for anything that may pose a threat to the tribe. Utlapa followed him and possessed his body, then cut his own body's throat to prevent Taha Aki's return. The chief wandered for a while in spirit form, watching the thief do horrible things to his people. One day, the chief's spirit found a large, beautiful wolf in the woods. Though jealous of the wolf's physical form, an idea came to him. He asked the wolf to share his body with him, and the wolf agreed. Rushing back to the village as the wolf, he met a party of warriors, and tried to make himself known by yelping Quileute songs. One of the warriors, an elderly man named Yut, realized that the wolf was under a spirit's control, and, disobeying the usurper Utlapa's orders not to enter the spirit world, left his body to talk to the beast. The false chief, alarmed at Yut entering the spirit world as he feared that his treachery would be revealed, killed the warrior. Taha Aki became enraged, and lunged to kill the man; his emotions were too much for the wolf, and it transformed into a magnificent human, the glorious flesh interpretation of Taha Aki's flawless spirit. The false chief was killed, and things were rapidly set right. Taha Aki sired many children, and found out that his sons, at the age of manhood, could transform into wolves as well," Charlie stopped.

Someone knocked on the door and from the smell it was are pizza, Charlie pays for the pizza man and came back in the living room, bring the pizza with him. We ate whist he continued,

"Anyways, Chief Taha Aki had been married twice, but as he did not age due to phasing into a wolf, both his wives died. He imprinted on a young woman and they got married; she became known as the Third Wife. He decided to give up his spirit wolf so that they could grow old together, and they had many children. Many years after he had given up his spirit wolf, several young Makah women went missing, and the Makah tribe blamed the Quileute shape-shifters for the disappearances. They were uninvolved, and Taha Aki tried to pacify the Makah chief, but was unable to. Not wanting a war on his hands, he sent his eldest son, Taha Wi, to find the true culprit. Taha Wi and five other wolves searched the mountains for the missing Makah girls, and came across a sickly sweet smell in the forest that burned their noses to the point of pain. They followed the unfamiliar scent, and further on discovered human scent and blood. They knew that they had found the enemy who had kidnapped the Makah women. The journey took them so far north that Taha Wi sent half of the pack, the younger wolves, back to the Quileute village to report to Taha Aki. Taha Wi and his two brothers never returned. The younger wolves could find no trace of their brothers, and Taha Aki mourned for his sons. His grief was so convincing that the Makah chief believed him, and tensions ended between the tribes. Two years later, two more Makah girls disappeared from their homes during the night. The Quileute wolves were called at once, and they found the same sickly stench all through the Makah village. They followed the smell, but only Yaha Uta, the oldest son of the Third Wife and the youngest member of the pack, returned, carrying with him a strange, cold, stony corpse in pieces. He and his brothers had found a creature who looked like a man but was as hard as granite, with the Makah girls: one was dead and drained of blood, the other was having her blood drank by the creature, who snapped her neck. His lips were covered in her blood, and his eyes glowed red. The wolves attacked him but he was immensely strong and fast. One of the wolves fell, the other two continued to fight. They discovered that their teeth could damage it, and started to tear chunks out of the creature. Yaha Uta's brother was being crushed by the creature when Yaha Uta managed to tear its head off and rip it to shreds. Yaha Uta brought the creature's remains back to the harbor, and laid them out for the tribe to inspect. The creature, which they called the Cold One and the Blood Drinker, tried to reassemble itself, so they burned the pieces and scattered them. Taha Aki kept a bag of the Cold Man's ashes in a bag which he wore around his neck. The Cold Man's mate, the Cold Woman, tried to avenge her mate by destroying the Quileutes, and killed Yaha Uta, but Taha Aki managed to destroy her after the Third Wife distracted the Cold Woman by plunging a dagger into her own heart. After this, Taha Aki never re-joined the tribe or changed back to a man again. He lay for three days beside the body of his wife, growling when ever someone tried to touch her, and then he went into the forest and never returned."

"Wow, god I love legends," I say smiling.

"I know right." He says

"Okay, What is imprinting?" I asked

"When a shape-shifter imprints on a specific person, he becomes unconditionally bound to her for the rest of his life. When it happens, the experience is described as being gravitationally pulled toward that person while a glowing heat fills him; the connections of everything else become severed, or simply secondary, and only the imprintee is left to matter, leaving the shape-shifter with a deep need to do anything to please and protect the person. Imprinting occurs only after a wolf's first phasing. It can happen with anyone, regardless of previous personal feelings. It happens the first time he sees the human object of his imprinting; if the shape-shifter does not react to a human subject the first time he sees them after he phases, that means he will never imprint on that human. Bella, I thought you would have known about Imprinting." He asked confused.

"With different tribes, there are different names for it, it's the first time I've heard of Imprinting before, it's normally Soul mates, Life partner, chosen, breeders, blessings, heat partner or in one case the packs bitches. Most of that pack are sexist motherfuckers." I explain.

"Really?" Charlie asked

Yep, I hated some of them pack members, the pricks wouldn't let me help one of their pup because I was a women, they thought that I was only good for breeding or cooking."

"What did you do?" He asked with laugher in his voice, properly knowing what I did.

"Lets just say it took about 3 months for their dicks to grow back and I didn't feed the fuckers, I made sure none of the women did either," I smile evilly, laughing as I remembered, it was funny though and they treat their women better now, in fear that I'll come back and do it all over again.

"God, I would have loved to have seen that," I just about heard what he was saying because he was laughing so hard. We laughed for a few more minutes before we both calmed down "Ok, I think I'm good now, do you want to know anything else before I start on the pack."

"No, I should be good for now"

"Ok then, well lets start"
