Hello! Long time no see/read. Sorry! I go back to school tomorrow (Urgh) and I've been really busy enjoying my last few weeks of freedom.

To the reviewer who asked about Bella's mum: Bella's mum was a bitch really. She didn't look after her and got drunk and left her alone, not abusive like hitting her or anything but just not caring and Bella had enough, that's why she left.

P.S Sorry there's not much fluff in this chapter.

I walked to the phone and picked it up, not looking forward to the conversation I was about to have.

'Hello?'

'Hello Isabella.'

'What do you want?'

'Just ringing to find out when my favourite daughter is coming home?' I would be surprised if that's all she was after, she probably wanted me home so someone would take care of her and her childish antics. Well that person wasn't going to be me anymore.

'Mom, I'm your only daughter. You know I'm not coming back, I told you after the stunts you've pulled, I'd rather be where I'm wanted, appreciated and not ignored.' I was getting rather exasperated.

'I never ignored you! You were always my number one priority. But Isabella you know that I've changed, I want you home, things aren't the same.'

'Yeah right, I was your number one priority when you went out drinking until 3am, when you had sex with strangers while I was in the house and when you got so drunk you couldn't even remember your own name. I'm sure that I was your number one. Anyway, this is my home now and I'm never coming back. Please don't call again.' I hung up the phone hoping that it would deter her from calling in the future.

'Bells, everything alright?'

'Yeah dad, everything's fine, she's just irritating me.'

'She always did have that talent. You feeling any better?' He chuckled and smiled at me.

'Much thanks, I'm off to bed, I'll see you in the morning.'

'Night sweetheart.'

I trudged up the stairs to find my phone buzzing with a text from Sam.

Hey gorgeous, hope you're okay now, I'm home safe, sleep well xox

I felt a smile appear on my face. Sam was perfect and I could feel myself falling for him.

Yes thanks, night xox

I hit send and snuggled down in my bed that still smelled of Sam. I fell asleep wrapped in his scent knowing it would please him.

SPOV

After spending a lovely evening with my imprint (even if she was sick), I headed home wondering what had got her flustered about the phone call from her mom. Falling asleep with her wrapped in my arms was incredible. I loved her so much and was planning on telling her soon. I just hoped Jared didn't get wind of it before the plan came together.

Once inside my house, I showered and got ready for bed when I heard a howl coming from the treaty line, presumably from Seth who was on patrol. I ran out the door, phased and ran to meet him.

Hey Seth, what's up?

The Cullens want to talk, they said they found something we should be aware of.

Okay, be there in a min.

I arrived at the treaty line to see Seth and the Cullens standing on opposite sides. I could feel Paul, Jared and Jacob all phasing in. I would be more comfortable with more wolves on our side.

Paul, Jared, Jacob get your butts here. Is the mind-reader willing to translate Seth?

The mind reader answered instead of Seth. 'Yes, I am.'

Okay, wait 'til the others get here before you begin.

He nodded.

Jared, Paul and Jacob all ran into the clearing, their minds buzzing with questions.

The Cullens have something they need to tell us so whenever you're ready.

'We found a scent on one of our feeding trips that we're pretty sure didn't belong to you, we wanted to ask if you knew about them, it was other wolves, different to you, but similar.

They're from the Makah reservation, our ancestors are the same.

'The point is, we could hear them thinking and there were flashes of your imprint Sam mixed in with you and the pack, and the thoughts weren't pleasant.

I growled. Bella was precious, they had better not be planning on hurting her.

Well we don't exactly get on but I can't see a reason for them to attack us. We've always respected their borders, although they don't always respect ours. I mused.

'We thought you should know what we knew. They smelled us but didn't try to attack. We're not sure why, we haven't got a treaty with them as your land comes between us but they were definitely off their land at the time. Maybe they're looking to relocate?'

I don't know, thanks for the information. We'll tell the elders and see what they have to say.

We parted ways and the pack and I headed home, leaving Paul on patrol. The Makahs better keep away from Bella. I knew Emily had gone back to her home there but her insight on us wouldn't really help them in any way as we kept her out of business because she wasn't an imprint. That was really the only way they could get information about us to use to their advantage.

Ephraim POV

'Okay I'm in. That bitch still won't come home which would benefit us both. Just tell me what I need to do.' Excellent. Renee had played right into my hands. She thought she was getting her daughter back – someone to cook and clean, in reality, Bella would be dying while Sam watched helpless. My plan was forming.

'Thanks Renee, I'll get back to you on your part, I'm biding my time for a bit longer, Bella will be back with you soon.' I soothed her, she had to stay on my side or I would lose everything I'd worked for.

Ooooooooo, Ephraim's plan is forming. But will Sam and Bella avoid it?
