Chapter Sixteen
Jacob's Point of View
(Authors Note: I know there are no wolves or any big animals naturally living in Hawaii but for this story there is, or was)
"Jacob what's wrong" Bella asks, I turn around not meeting her eye. I was furious and I didn't want her to see me like this. "Please Jacob, tell me" She whispers pulling my face in between her hands forcing me to look at her.
"Paul imprinted on my sister"
"Rebecca?" She asks I shake my head, oh god no that would be worse; she's married.
"Then I really don't see the problem, the imprint pretty much guarantees she will be happy. And that Paul won't cheat on her. Plus Rachel is single, and it will keep her around the rez more for you and your dad. And now you don't have to hide the secret" She tells me kissing my lips, "Now if you'll excuse me I have a lunch date with Emily, and Rachel" She whispers kissing me again then grabbing her jacket and keys and leaves the house. I sigh and walk down stairs turning on the TV to watch some before heading to Sam's for a meeting. A loud knock comes from the door making me jump, growling I walk over to it and open it swiftly.
"Ohhh Jacob you look so good and huge" Rebecca squeals hugging me tightly. "You know you shouldn't use steroids" She jokes, at least I think she's joking. "Oh how rude of me, Jacob this is Solomon Finau, my husband"
"Hey man, do you guys surf that beach?" Solomon asks, shaking my hand.
"Not really the locals, some of the Forks guys do when they find a sunny day" I explain. "Too many rocks you know" He nods.
"So where is everyone" Rebecca asks, looking around the house.
"Dad and Charlie are at Harry's for some game, and Bella is out with Emily and Rachel for a lunch date"
"Without me?" She scoffs, walking past me.
"Guest bedroom is upstairs" I say, they head up there. I was taking the couch to let Rachel sleep in my room so she doesn't have to share with Rebecca and her husband. "Need any help"
"No Solomon's got it" She turns to look at me after looking around the living room. "The place looks nice"
"Yeah we did a little bit of remodeling, when Bella and her dad moved in"
"So you and Bella huh" She smiles slyly.
"Uh yeah"
"We'll talk more later, Solomon is going to take a walk, and I'm going to take a nap" She informs me, Solomon walks past her kissing her quickly.
"Wanna join me?" He asks me, I shake my head no.
"Sorry I have stuff to do for a friend"
"No problem" He says smiling jogging out the front door.
"Nice guy" I comment, she waves off my words heading upstairs. Sighing I walk out the door shutting it tightly behind me, and head over to Sam's place for a meeting.
"Jacob" Seth greets smiling at me, Paul leans against the side of the house watching us.
"Hey Paul" I greet, trying to be civil with him.
"Jacob" He replies with a slight nod.
"Am I the last one here" He nods, I walk into the house. "Sorry Sam, Rebecca and her husband showed up when I was about to leave."
"No problem" He says sitting down at the table, no food since Bella and Rachel stole Emily. "Everyone sit" He says, we all do as were told, Billy walks in the door taking his seat next to Sam, I sit to the left of Billy while Paul sits to the right of Sam. "Does anyone have any news before we begin" He asks.
"I imprinted on Rachel" Paul announces, most of us already knew that.
"I want you to get my permission before you do anything mister, and I'll know if you do" Dad says pointing to his head. He means wolf hearing, and the community pack mind.
"Ok" Paul says, he was still in the process of telling Rachel, we were all waiting to see her blow up on him.
"Any other order of business" Sam asks, man he really needed a gavel.
"None here" Billy says.
"Uh Rebecca and her husband are in town, so we have to be careful with the phasing and secret words"
"Maybe one of us will imprint on her" Seth jokes looking directly at Paul when he says this.
"Not funny Seth she's already married, that's way too much drama and pain on a wolf" Sam counters. "You say he's from a native tribe in Hawaii" Sam asks, dad and I both nod. "Hmm" What was he thinking about now.
"I have some business" Leah says, "Can you make the boys not look at me when I phase"
"Oh my god Leah nobody wants to see you naked it's all in your head" Seth groans.
"Is not! I saw Embry peeking!"
"Enough, boys don't stare at Leah when she's naked" Sam says trying to clear the air. "Now I have some news, Emily's niece is coming to live with us, her Name is Clair and she is two years old. We will be attempting to adopt her and for now she is with us as a foster child"
"Congrats man" Billy slaps his back "When does she get here"
"Emily, Rachel and Bella are picking her up as we speak, they went for lunch first but I told them not to mention it to you until I did" Oh ok, ya tell Bella to lie to me; good plan. "Now moving on the to the Cullen's situation"
"What Cullen's situation" Seth asks, Sam holds up his hands.
"Easy, Carlise can you come in here please" I look over to see the leech walk into the house.
"Hello" He greets sitting down at the other end of the table opposite of Sam and Billy. He holds a folder in his hands. "I brought a folder of information my family and I put together about the Volturi." He slides it across the table to Sam who sets it in front of him and Billy; neither of them touches it after that.
"So your son, Edward has gone off to a boarding school" Billy asks.
"That's the public story, I trust you to keep the secret that he's actually in Alaska staying with some cousins so to speak, Rosalie and Emmett moved to Paris. We're actually saying they went to boarding school as well, to take college courses." He says pausing for a moment. "Alice and Jasper will be staying here, in secret, Alice will be keeping watch over you wolves; she says the visions are getting easier to see now that were better connected." Jared's howl erupts making us all pause.
"Billy, Paul, Jacob, and I will take that; you all stay her and play nice with Carlise" Sam says as we leave the house, running into the woods phasing the second our shorts were off and tied around our legs. "What is it Jared" Sam asks.
"Another wolf, not one of ours." We lose contact with Sam for a moment I can only hear him through dad's mind.
"It's Rebecca's husband, he didn't know we were wolves"
"Guess Becca isn't so naive about the secret after all" Dad says.
