I looked down at my father's bleeding body. What have I done? My father wasn't breathing normally, his chest heaved up and down so fast I thought he was going to explode. My wolf body still shook violently, but it was started to ease into a nervous shake. I whimpered.

Mother and my entire brother's surrounded his wounded body, crying over him. He was a werewolf, too; why didn't he heal fast? I phased back and fell to my knees beside father. Mother looked at me with horror and I wished so badly that I could take that look off her face. I put my hand on my father's chest. My father's eyes snapped open and he glared at me.

"Father, I'm so sorry, it's just, you were forcing me and I was just so upset and-

"Don't worry about it Kalina, you won't be doing the Bon Ho ritual, you will be returning to your adoptive parents and you are never to come back here to this tribe again. I hereby banish you from the Kanuwat tribe!" He sat up suddenly, and the finality in his words hit me like a ton of bricks.

"But Father!" I pleaded with him, tears streaming down my face. A hand gripped at my shoulder. It was Kan Lee. He was crying, too, but I wasn't sure if it was for the same reason as I was.

"Sister, please, just go." He whispered in a broken voice. I stared at him in shock and then at Taylor who was in his wolf form just by the edge of the trees. He gave me a concerned look before heading off into the night. I turned back to look at mother who was streaming down tears and it hurt me to watch her cry. I leaned over and kissed mother on the cheek. She responded by grabbing me and pulling me into a tight embrace over my father.

"I'll never forget you, Kalina." She whispered into my ear. I pulled out of her grasp and looked at her once more before looking back down at father. He stared at me with a blank expression. I touched his face with my hand.

"I'm sorry, father." I muttered, then stood and faced Kan Lee. A few moments passed in silence before he grabbed my arm and pulled me to his chest.

"I'll think of a way to come see you, sister. This will all work out. The vampire is coming here. I'll protect mother." He murmured in my ear so only I could hear him.

"I love you, Brother." I murmured back. Kan Lee squeezed me tighter then let me go. I glanced at him once more and then ran. I ran as fast as I could away from them, following Jacob's trail. I didn't bother to phase. I couldn't, because I was afraid to. I couldn't control my anger, and I needed to do that first before I did anything.

How could I be so fucking stupid! I had just met my family and already I'm banished? Well, it was sort of my father's fault for trying to force me into a different life, but still; I shouldn't have responded that way. This is my entire fault. I reached the clearing to La Push and ran faster towards Billy's place.

The whole pack was gathered around the front porch steps. They all turned to me when I was just a few feet away from them.

"Kalina." Sam acknowledged. I winced.

"Sam, please don't call me that." Sam just nodded and turned back to the discussion. Jacob was standing there, too. I looked at him, trying to get his attention but he never budged. What was going on?

"Umm, Jacob?" I whispered. I knew he could hear me though. I saw him wince and move just a little bit towards me.

"Sorry, Bells." I heard him whisper.

"But-

"Bella! We are having a council meeting at this time! Please, go!" Sam turned to face me with a stern look. I whimpered under his order. I took a step forward.

"I have no-

"Bella, go!" he yelled it this time. All the boys weren't looking at me. They looked down at the grown, under the alpha's orders. I turned, the tears streaming down my face and ran into the trees. I had nothing. No one wanted me.

And Victoria was still trying to kill me.
