Bella's Pov
I watched at the wolves and the Cullen's mingled, seeming to be content to just talk. There was almost no tension in either of them, although Jinx, and Link was a bit wary at first, and the infinities never strayed from behind Alida.
I noticed how Jacob smiled, hugging Jinx close to him, watching her like she was the most precious thing in the world. It warmed my heart that I finally had my old best friend back, but I wasn't sure if I would ever forgive him completely, he had ruined a lot of my life, and even tried to destroy all of it. Love seemed to solve everything. Maybe now there was be no more trouble, or bad luck, everything would be great.
I glanced to beside them to Edward; he had his arms tightly wrapped around Alida's delicate looking body, smiling down at her with that familiar loving look. Each of the Cullen's talked nicely to her, getting to know her, the only one seeming disinterested in her was Rosalie. I wished Alida luck with that one, I know I had been really intimidated when I was around her. But Alida was strong, and I knew she would be ok.
I looked over to Paul with a small smile, knowing how hard he was trying to appear happy. Sam's death really had taken a toll on all the guys, not to mention Leah's. We still couldn't find Leah's body, but Embry had seen her neck getting snapped, and dragged into the woods from of the Volturi guards.
"So who will be taking over as the leader of the pack?" Emmett asked, looking between Jared, and Paul with a raised brow.
Paul gently wrapped his arm around my shoulder, and snorted.
"Don't look at me, I'm not the leader type." He said with a shrug, and looked to Jared.
Jared swallowed, and looked at everyone.
"As much as I love this pack, and I was first in command that is the position I would like to stay in, I don't think I have the skills for this. Jacob." Jared said looking over to Jake with a hesitant look.
Jacob sighed, and nodded looking at him.
"I did want you to be the Alpha, but Jake its going to take a lot of time before we can forgive and forget what you did to the pack, and Bella." Jared said gently.
Jake nodded, resting his head on top of Jinx.
"I get that, and I can deal with that, I don't want to be alpha anyway." He said simply.
"So who is our alpha now?" Quil asked looking between everyone.
All eyes now turned to Alida, including most of the Cullen's.
She gave a look to her pack.
"I would consider that position, if my pack would be permitted to mix in with this one." She said with a smile.
Edward watched her with a calculating look, as if he was in deep thought about something.
"Of course, we'll all be one big pack." Jared said with a grin.
"Then I would be honored, but you will be warned, I train my pack my different then Sam would." She said with a nod.
Everyone nodded, some even looking eager.
"Can we join your pack to?" Jinx asked looking at Alida with a pleading look.
Link didn't seem to care much, he just watched Jake with an untrusting glare, and stayed quiet.
Alida looked over them for a bit, and appeared to think about that for a minute.
"Alright, I guess so." She said with a nod.
Jacob breathed out in relief and smiled at Alida in gratitude.
"So were are you Cullen's going?" Embry asked, looking over at them.
Carlisle spoke up now, looking at Edward and Alida.
"Well I'm sure Edward doesn't want to be away from Alida, so I guess we'll be going back to Forks." He said with a smile.
Alice squealed, bouncing a bit in place in front of Alida.
"It will be great, we'll come over to La Push and I can give you makeovers, and go shopping, and everything." She said with a grin.
I laughed quietly at Alida's horror-struck expression; the Cullen's also laughing.
"Looks like we found a twin Bella." Emmett teased, messing up Alida's hair.
She laughed, elbowing him, and fixing her hair. Edward smiled in delight watching her, hugging her even closer.
I sighed a bit, leaning in to Paul more, and relaxing. It was so relieving that everyone was happy.
"Alright so let's go home." Quil said with a grin.
"Ok we're going to need a plane then." Jared said getting his cell out, and groaning at its cracked screen.
"I can handle this." Carlisle said pulling out his phone, and calling.
"Thanks Carlisle." Embry said with a smile, and sighs, leaning against a tree.
"Before we leave we should hunt." Alice said looking at each of them.
The wolves twitched slightly at that, but none of them commented, or lost their content smiles.
Edward's groan caught my attention and I watched him slowly and reluctantly let go of Alida, and stroke her face for a minute, talking lowly to her. I turned away, looking to Paul with a sour taste. I just wasn't quite used to that yet.
I curled into Paul's side, and hugged him.
Paul chuckled, rubbing my back, kissing my forehead.
"Is you're leg bothering you?" He asked with a concerned tone.
I looked down at my leg for a minute. It was broken, and it really hurt, but I had no time to pay it any attention, Carlisle fixed me up, and gave me some painkillers, so I could easy ignore it.
"I'm fine, I can barely feel a thing." I said with a smile, looking up at him.
Paul sighs, looking down at my cast.
"That was my fault, I should have paid more attention." He said with a frown, clenching his hands into fists around me.
"It's not your fault at all." I said looking at him.
"Umm not to interrupt or anything, but check out that huge ass private jet!" Link said poking me on the side.
I looked up, and gasped at the big jet that landed a few feet in front of us.
I almost forget that the Cullen's were very wealthy, it was strange how much you forget about something, even how close I had been to them.
When the Cullen's had finished their hunt we all piled into the jet, the guys going nuts, impressed with the inside.
I took a seat beside Paul in the back, and relaxed, laughing at how all the wolves picked on each other, along with Jasper and Emmett.
Something told me everyone was going to be great, but there was just this feeling in the pit of my stomach that something was bound to go wrong.
I looked up at Paul, getting lost in his dark eyes, and for a minute I realized that it didn't matter, as long as I was with Paul we would overcome everything.
THE END
