Jacob's POV

I had no idea what had come over me when Bella showed up with homemade soup. I wanted to hate my best friend for what she'd known. She knew the Cullen's were leeches, and yet, she still dated one of them and let them into her home and her life. She just stood there wrapping her small frail arms around her body, I remembered that look. She was trying to hold herself together; I wanted to hate myself for not being able to imprint on her when I wanted to so badly. I looked up seeing Sam, Paul and Jared walking out of the dark tree line. Quickly ending my conversation and friendship with Bella I walked towards them with my heart breaking due to the cruelty I had just shown her. I looked back when I heard her small feet walking past her truck scrapping against the gravel of my driveway, when I couldn't help but notice that HE was staring at my Bella, he was completely gone at the moment. Sam looked at him knowingly and then looked at me almost as if to say keep calm, but it was already too late.

"WHAT THE FUCK?" I ran at him shoving him back into reality. All my rage coming forward he wasn't allowed to see her like that if I couldn't. I could only hear the blood pumping through my ears as I attacked him not realizing that Bella had managed to get in between us as my shaking body finally exploded, phasing into my russet wolf form. I wanted to kill him, to kill my brother for doing this to me. He was taking her away just like that fucking leech did. Watching as he phased right after me I went in to attack.

A growl ripped through my throat when I heard him "Jake, you know I can't control it! Stop, she's right here..." stopped briefly trying to figure what he meant when I felt my moist paw, and I could smell.."blood?" He growled at me again shoving me with all his might before curling up around... "Bella? When did she get there? Why was she on the ground..." he looked frantic "SAM!" his wolf going into hysterics nudging her face with his muzzle trying to wake her up, and that is when I saw the blood on her, and the blood on my paw. Letting out a howl of pain seeing him hold her in his arms as he had now phased back, I hurt her, I hurt my best friend. I looked on as Sam and Jared ran over to Paul holding my Bella... his Bella... Turning I couldn't watch anymore and I took off running full speed into the woods.

Paul POV

I had been standing right past the tree line surrounding Jake's house waiting for him when we heard a truck pulling up. The sun was beginning to set, it however caused us no problems. Sam began walking out of the tree line with Jared and I flanking him, rolling my eyes hearing the girl argue with Jake about spending time with him. She was completely off balance it seemed her feet slid across the gravel at least 3 times before I looked up, to watch the rest unfold. Jake was storming over to us with pain etched on his face, I looked at the girl wondering what was so special about her, she just stood there with her head down her long wet hair covering her face, her pale arms wrapped around her body as she walked to her truck stopping briefly looking back at us, the moment her eyes met mine I felt like my world just flipped and I couldn't look away from her.

The past few minutes seemed like hours, and fuck if I wasn't confused. Jake had attacked me; in normal conditions the new pup didn't stand a chance against me. But this was different, she was here. I knew who she was through Jake's mind when we'd all been phased before, but when I'd locked eyes with her my world just stopped and redirected. She was the center of everything. I just kept backing up when Jake tried attacking me, she was here... she was too close. My chest lit on fire feeling her small hand pressed against my chest her other pressed on Jake's trying to separate us. When he phased all I could do was phase right after him and curl up around her as fast as I could with his jaws trying to tear me apart. I growled loudly and began trying to get him to calm down; finally he did and backed off. I looked up to see Sam and Jared rush over to help me and I phased back not even caring that I was completely naked. I just cradled her small body in my arms feeling my chest constricting when she wouldn't wake up. I saw her darkened and wet clothing figuring it was from the rain. Pressing my hand on her side trying to shake her awake, but I stopped breathing completely once I saw the scarlet redness of blood all over my hand when I pulled it it back.

"SAM SHE'S HURT!" I stood up quickly cradling her to my chest as I took off running to Sam and Emily's house, with Sam and Jared flanking me. Sam was on his phone requesting Em to clear the guest bed and to get Sue Clearwater over to the house telling her someone got hurt.

Not breaking stride I ran straight into the house to the prepared room laying her pale and seemingly lifeless body on the bed taking off her sweatshirt and t-shirt as Emily ran in with bandages.

"What..." she froze seeing the bleeding claw marks down Bella's side touching the side of her scared face briefly as Sue ran in the room with a bag "Everyone besides Emily and I OUT!"

"NO" I growled out, but Sam came over to me trying to release my hold on her. "Paul, the girls can help her better lying flat. We need to go and figure out where Jake went" Growling at him "Screw Jake Sam, he did this to her!"

Sam just nodded his head "I know" looking at me "and he's running scared right now, I know the feeling" he glance and Emily with a sadness remembering. Emily just grabbed my face in her hands "Everything will be okay Paul. Go calm down I'll come get you soon." I nodded and pulled Bella close once more before letting Sam drag me from the room my eyes never leaving her frail body.

Once outside my chest felt like someone had taken a mallet to it, I couldn't breathe. I was pacing back and forth with growls erupting from my chest "I am going to kill him."

Jared and Sam both stood there letting me blow off anger before starting in "Paul, I know what it's like. The girls will take good care of her and it didn't look like the scratches went too deep."

I couldn't help but glare at him when I heard Jared "Just breathe; I know it's hard the imprint hurts, we know, especially with her being hurt."

My eyes shot up at him in shock "Imprint?" I am Paul Lahote, I swore I'd never imprint and now... is this really it? "Fuck..." my eyes still wide as Jared shoves a pair of shorts in my hands, looking down realizing I was still naked "pants are kind of a good thing..."
