So chapter 5, the aftermath of the prologue, bit of Jared's POV in here which is new, thought it would be nice to see inside a wolf's head.

After Jared got me out of Sam's house, I felt like breaking down in tears. My head was pounding and there was a pain in my chest. I closed my eyes and breathed slowly but all I could see was him. A few tears leaked out of my eyes but I had no idea why I was so upset, I mean, I'd just met the guy for God's sake. Jared hadn't said a word, obviously realising I needed space. We drove home with me clinging to his back like a turtle shell. We pulled up and I ran inside and threw myself down on my bed. Charlie shouted asking if I was alright but I could hear Jared explaining something to him so I didn't bother to reply. I just wanted the pain to end.

Holy crap. Sam imprinted on Bella. My sister. She looked so confused and as soon as we got home she raced upstairs. Charlie asked me if she was alright and I told him everything as he already knew about the wolves because he was one of the tribal elders who kept hold of the legends and passed them down to our generation.

'Sam imprinted on her.'

'You serious? What? Well that was unexpected. He better not hurt my baby girl.'

'Dad he can't hurt her intentionally, the imprint won't let him, but what about Emily? I don't know if he'll tell her and I'm rubbish at hiding my thoughts from the pack when we're phased. Someone'll let it slip, I know they will. Argh! What am I going to do?'

'You're not patrolling tonight are you?' I shook my head. 'Well then, go talk to Sam tomorrow and find out what he thinks you should do. Bells is obviously pretty upset about this and she clearly has no idea what's going on. You go talk to her and explain it, I don't care what Sam thinks, I'm an elder and she needs to know so she understands what's going on.'

'Okay, I'll go now.'

I trudged upset the stairs not looking forward to the duty I had been bestowed. I knocked on the door and entered her room. She was flung face down on the bed.

'Bells, hey, you okay?'

She sniffled. 'I don't know. Why am I feeling like this Jar? I only just met him for God's sake.'

'You want me to tell you? It's partially related to the secret?'

'Please.'

'You know the tribal legends?' She nodded, 'well they're true, we (Jacob, Quil, Embry, Paul, Sam and I) are all the tribe's protectors, we phase into wolves.' Bella's face goes white and her eyes are wide. 'Bells, I'm not going to hurt you, none of us are but that's why we're hot, temperature wise, and why we've all grown and gotten muscles.'

'Oh my God. Are you serious?' she asked, her face showing incredulity.

'Yeah.' It's the only thing I can think of to say.

'Okay, I think I'm okay with this. Is there anything else you need to tell me?'

'Erm, we don't age while we're still phasing, Sam's gonna kill me but there's this thing called imprinting, it's where when one of us sees our soul mate, we are literally held to the earth by her, everything is her, the wolf will be whatever she needs, a friend, brother or a boyfriend. That's what happened between Sam and you, he imprinted and he's gonna kill me for telling you, but you needed to know.'

'What! But he's with Emily?'

'He never imprinted on her, he thought he'd never imprint.'

She looks shocked, dazed and confused.

'I'll give you some time to process this, do you want a cup of tea?'

'No thanks Jar, thanks for telling me.'

'You're welcome Bells, sorry it had to be like this.'

Jared just told me he's a wolf.

Just thought I'd put that out there.

I have no idea how to react, do I laugh? Cry? Be sick? I don't know. And Sam imprinted on me? He's my soul mate? I don't even know him. This is so confusing.

I decided to go for a walk to clear my head. Jared had gone out and my Dad was asleep. I pulled on my walking boots and headed out into the woods. It was early evening and the light the sun was casting on the trees was beautiful. The beams shooting through the trees had dust shining through them and they looked like spotlights highlighting the forest floor. The forest was busy, birds chirping, bees buzzing and flowers turning to try catch the last sun of the day.

I walked towards the river that flowed through the forest. The water there was clear and pure and I liked to trickle my fingers through it hoping to let it purify myself. I arrived, sat down and thought about what I was going to do.

I could hardly run back to Phoenix, my mom didn't want me there and I didn't want to be there. There was nowhere else to go but here, it was inevitable I would see Sam, especially if he as part of Jared's pack. I wondered how he would feel about the imprint, he obviously had a life here with Emily, was he really willing to give that up for me? Did he even have a choice in loving me? Could I be the one he needed?

From what I remembered about the legends of the tribe, the imprint was the perfect match for the wolf but I wasn't sure if I wanted to stay here in this tiny town for the rest of my life. I also remembered about the cold ones, they were the reason for the protectors. What would happen if one of them got onto the reservation, was I willing to make the same sacrifice the third wife had made to save her imprint? I didn't know how I felt towards Sam, there was no way I loved him yet, but I did feel a pull.

I was lost in my thoughts and I didn't notice the twigs breaking from behind me as something grabbed my neck and cut off my breathing.

'Well what do we have here then…?'
